And forwarded to you by an Indonesian, using Canadian's technology, and you're reading this on your Blackberry, that use Koreans chips, and a Taiwanese LCDs, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Hungary factory, transported by Pakistan lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and repacked by Mexican illegals! Shipped to ýHongkong and Singapore before finally arrives in your hand.

Learn To Fokus On Solutions Not On Problems
The Difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions
Case 1
When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out
that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to
the
writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and
$12 million.
They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down,
underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a
temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. And what
did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil.
Case 2
One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was
the
case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest
cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer
had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities
isolated
the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged
boxes
of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went
through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to
solve
the problem.
Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine
with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the
soap
boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No
doubt,
they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount
to
do so.
But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed
with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays,
etc., but
instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial
electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan
on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty
boxes out
of the line.
Moral
Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible
solution that solves the problems.

Izzy Stradlin
Kamu suka musik? Iya
Genre lagu apa yang suka didengarkan? Banyak. Umumnya yang keras-keras. Tapi enggak semuanya keras. Keras dan enak didengar. Keras kalau jedak jeduk jedak jeduk atau asal keras ya enggak didengerin.
Pemusik dan band apa yang disukai? Kalau sekarang enggak ada yang terlalu "fanatik". Apa saja, asal memenuhin kriteria yang di atas. Kalau dulu ya suka rock, grunge dan alternatif. Ada beberapa band yang disukai seperti Guns N Roses, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chilli Peppers dan lain sebagainya.
Kalau menjadi seorang musisi, posisi yang mau dipilih dan ingin menjadi seperti siapa? Kalau menjadi musisi, ingin-nya pegang gitar. Kenapa gitar, kayaknya keren bisa menghasilkan bunyi-bunyian yang unik. Awalnya saya suka Slash (Soul Hudson) gitarisnya GNR, namun ke sini-sini ingin seperti Izzy Stradlin. Gitarisnya GNR juga. Kenapa bisa pindah? Setelah banyak membaca referensi saya baru menyadari bahwa hatinya GNR itu ya Izzy. Mungkin bisa diperdebatkan, namun faktanya seperti yang kita lihat selepas Izzy keluar dari GNR, band ini sulit untuk membuat lagu yang enak. Contohnya album The Spaghetti Incident gagal di pasaran. Setelah itu butuh delapan tahun lebih, kalau tidak salah, untuk mengahsilkan album Chinese Democracy.
Kalau Kita baca, Izzy Stradlin ini banyak menciptakan lagu hit. Baik sebagai writer atau co-writer. Kita sebut misalnya Sweet Child O'Mine, Don't Cry, Patience, You Could Be Mine dan lain-lain. Selain bisa menciptakan lagu, dia ini great composer. Misalnya dia yang pertama menyadari enaknya intro Sweet Child O'Mine yang dimainkan Slash. Terus bagaimana dia mencoba bunyi-bunyian simbal, agar mendapatkan bunyi yang pas di lagu Pretty Tied Up. Banyak yang bilang bahwa dia itu menciptakan rhythm yang genius. Buktinya kita bisa lihat di album Appetite For Destruction.
Terus, kalau ada yang tanya mengapa solo karirnya tidak sukses setelah dia keluar dari band ? Padahal katanya dia punya talenta. Izzy ini orang yang hanya ingin bermain musik. Tidak lebih. Dan dia tidak suka publikasi .Makanya banyak album yang tidak meledak di pasaran. Bahkan para fansnya membuatkan sebuah petisi agar dia mau mengeluarkan album barunya. Setelah itu dia baru mau mengeluarkan album baru. Dan sebagai informasi saya tidak bisa memainkan gitar he he he.
