10 counter-intuitive career tips

This was forwarded to me by a 3M-er in the office.
Just wanted to share it with everyone.. quite interesting

1. Don’t be the hardest worker.
No one can work 70-hour weeks forever without losing their mind – or at least their perspective. You need to pace yourself. Besides, at this kind of pace, you may not always the best worker, but you’ll surely look like the most desperate.

2. Hire people you wouldn’t want as friends.
Diverse business teams are more successful than homogenous teams. Creating diversity doesn’t mean hiring one guy from each fraternity. It means hiring people who scare you, disagree with you and think in totally different ways than you.

3. Don’t fear failure.
Most people who have wild success have wild failure first. Have your failure early and significantly so that you’re primed for success.

4. Learn to write direct mail.
A resume is a piece of direct mail. At best, it will get a 10-second scan from a hiring manager trying to decide whether to interview you. Know how to control what happens in those 10 seconds. Hint: You don’t want the person to spend that time reading “References available upon request.”

5. Bake cookies for your team.
Surprise people with your caring and kindness. They will view you – and your mistakes — much more generously. Also, showing your soft side at the office is risky. Cookies are softness without the risk that you’re revealing too much.

6. Give the brand of you a rest.
You cannot get to the top alone, so stop looking at yourself like you’re a one-man show. Education is the No. 1 factor in determining who will be successful. The caliber of your stable of mentors is the No. 2 factor. So start looking outside yourself. You need help.

7. Blend in.
Do not stand out for how your dress. Stand out for your intelligence and creativity. If you dress in a way that makes people look at your clothes, then you say “look at me for my clothes”. If you dress in a way where no one notices what you are wearing then you force people to look at you for your brains. Remember, though, that boring, frumpy fashion stands out as much as flashy, funky fashion.

8. Toss the business books: Read fiction.
Your career is as dependent on your people skills as it is on your professional skills, so read books and magazines that help you to understand people. Read novels your co-workers recommend, and you’ll have reliable repartee for weeks. Besides, most non-fiction tells you about peoples’ mistakes, but fiction describes what’s achievable.

9. Say no frequently.
Be choosy about how you spend your time so that each project you work on becomes a great bulleted item on your resume. Don’t work on projects that don’t matter, will get killed or are clearly mismanaged. When your boss asks you to do something you don’t have time for, remind her of her priorities and say you want to work on what’s most important to her. This is a professional way of saying no to unimportant assignments.

10. Ignore the urgent stuff.
Most urgent items on your to-do list are not big-picture items. But it’s the big-picture tasks that will make a significant difference in your career. So block off time each day to work solely on big-picture aspects of your to-do list. You don’t have to be a visionary at work. But if you aren’t a visionary for your life, who will be?

Sex and the city

I think I've been watching too much of sex and the city.
Here i am, Single in the city of Kuala Lumpur
But.. everything seems to be more boring than being in my little home island.
Expecting my life to be thrilled and adventurous like the chicks on HBO,
I am still greatly disappointed. I wasn't even close to being Miranda..
and to think i wanted to be Samantha!!!

Maybe I'm not as cut out as i thought i am...
Maybe my body is not as cut out..
Maybe it's Kuala Lumpur and not New York City..
Or maybe i really can't get over him.

Sometimes i wonder why do i even want to try and be someone else?
Trust me.. many are the same. Somehow we never seem to be satisfied with our ownself..
Why is that so?

I'm glad i stopped watching the L word at season 2. Else god knows who i want to follow?

Juliana

So there is this 1 girl in 3M. I found out we both had the same name.. Juliana.
And the company calls her nickname Juls...
but.. but...that's exactly what my friends call me.

Juls!!!

Weird thing is.. many people say we look the same, act the same...
Both Juliana's in 3M. Both outgoing, crazy and out of this world.
So the older colleagues made a pack..
"If we have daugthers, we are never going to name them Juliana"
So i asked them..."Why la?"
They all replied ... "Hard to control lar..headache only!"
Muahaha...

Anyways here is a pic of me and her..

Rest in Peace Uncle Loga

My deepest condolences goes to Aunty, Vig and Dasha.
He was a super duper great guy always filled with lots of love and happiness.
His days in this lifetime will never be forgotten.

I recieved a sms today from James today saying Uncle Loga was in critical conditon at 9.58 am.
So i decided to call at 10.57 am to see if he was okay and if everyone else was okay.
Vig didn't pick up the phone but instead Dasha did.
She was crying and i could hear the background everyone crying.
...shit!...Then and there i knew i called at the wrong time.
Dasha told me about Uncle Loga..
Suddenly i felt like time just paused...
I felt so weird.. I didnt know what to do..or what to say.
Only thing that went thru my mind was...
"I am going back penang tonight!"
So i walked into my superior's office and requested a half day leave.
Elaine, Sheena and ian also agreed to go back with me.

Work at 1pm.
:S major orders coming in tmrw. ARGHHH!!!

Sms

So yesterday, while i was watching Shrek 3 in Summit.
I felt a vibration from my handbag.
I took out my phone to see "1 new message"
So i click..."read"
It was a message from Andre in Thailand.
Gosh you can't imagine how happy i was to receive it.
He told me he and Bruno were extending their stay for another 2 months in Koh Tao and asked if i was going to visit them.
Sigh.. i couldn't... work started :( Oh how i wish i could go there and get my diving license done .
Today the sms i received was sad..
*no more details for now*
Sms-es can bring a smile to a person but also bring a sigh...or tears.
