SAYANG ANAK TANGAN-TANGANKAN

Sayang anak tangan-tangankan - sebuah pepatah Melayu lama yang mengingatkan kita kaedah mengajar anak melalui pengalaman orang tua2 dahulu.

Seumpama pepatah itu begitu jugalah yang kami adik beradik melalui dalam kehidupan ini. Renungan tajam, mata menjengil yang memberi makna "siap kau selepas ini" serta bilasan rotan adalah perkara biasa semasa kami membesar. Pada ketika itu sememangnya menyakitkan tetapi padu waktu ini merupakan sesuatu yang amat dihargai. Tanpa bilasan rotan tak mungkin kami kecapi kejayaan hari ini! 

Malangnya dewasa ini pepatah ini sudah tidak digunapakai lagi. Ibubapa moden lebih percaya kepada kaedah lemah lembut yang kununnya mampu mendidik anak dengan lebih efektif. Tetapi ternyata anak-anak moden semakin kurang ajar sehingga ada ibubapa malahan guru ditangan-tangankan pula. 

Senakal-nakal kami dahulu tetap hormat pada orang lebih tua apatah guru yang mengajar ilmu. Kalau guru rotan sekali balik rumah pasti dapat lagi dua kali. Betul atau tidak guru, itu tidak penting kerana ibubapa percaya guru merotan kerana mendidik dan guru betul belaka. Iyelah kalau tak pandai tak jadi guru lah kan. Mengadu pada ibubapa hanya menambah bonus bilasan rotan pula. Tetapi sebaliknya pula zaman moden ini, se-das anak dirotan, jawapnya, "see you in court" dari ibubapa yang pernah rotan guru satu ketika dulu.

Anak-anak semakin lemah mental dan manja dalam kehidupan. Hanya bijak memberi ribuan alasan. Alasan semakin banyak, degil semakin bertambah, orang tua dilayan bagai rakan sebaya.. lu wa.. dan dunia mereka hanya pada "games" yang penuh ilusi dan tidak bermakna!

Apa tugas kita semua ? 

Bantulah anak-anak moden kembali pada realiti kehidupan. Didik mereka sebagaimana kita dididik dahulu dengan menyiapkan mereka untuk zaman mereka pula. Ibubapa kita dahulu tidak berpengetahuan tinggi malah ada yang tidak pandai membaca tetapi mereka bijak menyediakan kita untuk zaman kita. Dan kebanyakkan kita menjadi manusia berjaya. Sebaliknya kebanyakkan kita berpengetahuan tinggi tetapi tidak bijak pula menyediakan anak-anak kita untuk zaman mereka. 

Hentikan manjaan kita, hadkan dunia ilusi mereka, didik jatidiri mereka, libatkan dengan aktiviti kemasyarakatan, paksa mereka lakukan kerja rumah bersama-sama anda dan pastikan mereka tidak meninggalkan solat. 

Secara tidak langsung kita mendisiplinkan mereka kearah kehidupan yang lebih positif. Sayang anak tangan-tangan sememangnya menyakitkan tetapi percayalah pada usia kita nanti mereka pasti akan menghargai dan berkata "terimakasih ibu ayah kerana mendidik saya menjadi manusia walaupun dengan bilasan rotan". Jangan sekali-kali jemu berdoa demi anak-anak kerana kita juga berharap doa anak soleh suatu ketika nanti. 

Semoga manafaat.

KEMBALI BERKONGSI CERITA

Assalamualaikum 

Apa khabar semua ? Harap semua baik-baik saja. Agak lama sir tidak menulis di blog ini atas sebab-sebab tertentu. Post terakhir sir pada 22 January 2016 di Makati. 

Sebenarnya sir berhijrah ke Brunei bagi memulakan perkerjaan baru di sebuah syarikat Telekomunikasi. Hijrah ini juga melibat hampir semua ahli keluarga sir. Dalam kata lain, memulakan kehidupan baru dalam suasana baru ...alam persekolahan baru bagi anak-anak serta rutin kehidupan yang juga berubah. 

Pastinya setiap perubahan memerlukan masa untuk mengadaptasi. Tambah pula hijrah ini hijrah ke negara lain. Walau sir biasa dengan suasana kerja di luar negara namun ianya memberi kesan kepada kemampuan anak-anak menghadapi suasana baru terutamanya kehilangan teman sepermainan, 

Kini hampir setahun setengah berlalu... sedikit sebanyak anak-anak sudah dapat mengadaptasi namun jika diberi peluang, pasti ingin pulang ke kampung halaman sendiri. Benarlah pepatah Melayu, hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri.

Banyak yang ingin sir kongsikan sepanjang setahun setengah sir berhenti menulis ... insyallah semoga diberi kekuatan oleh Allah swt untuk kembali menulis berkongsi cerita dan memberi motivasi dalam kehidupan kita semua. Amin.

SEVEN "C" - Characteristics Of Good Trainers

Salam Hormat

Recently, I have too much international classes which required me to fly around the globe. From East to West and back to East. Not even got chance to spend time with my kids for school holidays. Finally I got chance to take them to Pangkor Island for a short trips.

As a trainer, you spend so much time sharing your expertise and knowledge with your students; and hope they will get thru in their Certification Exam...
  Honestly I felt tried traveling. So little time with my family and my home town. I always thought that I did this because I love my job, love to share knowledge with people and got friends at most of the place I visited. However, sometime you are tight with the business people who are, of course, wanted to leverage you to make more profits. Being the human-being to the certain extend you will be breakdown. It is difficult to do training when you start losing focus, motivation and inspiration. I think I am breaking down.

Found in Internet, credit to those who create it

I found this... good to love our jobs but not necessary to love the company!!

When you felt down, Allah may send someone to boost back your motivation.... alhamdulillah I met someone who has been working for more than 50 years. His name is Dr Hj Muhammad Petro Barbeito. He is Spanish and live in Miri, Sarawak. He worked with Shell for more than 35 years as Geologist and now doing freelance training. What surprise me is ... he is 74 years old and still passionate in his job.  

A geologist is a scientist who studies the solid and liquid matter that constitutes the Earth as well as the processes and history that have shaped it. Geologists usually engage in studying geology.

We stayed at Apartment 29 Brunei Shell Seria. We shared our experiences in international training and somehow its lead to Sudan's experiences. He was in Sudan in 2005 and I was there at the same time. We shared about our valuable experience about people, cultures, food etc. One thing for sure, not everyone has such opportunities to travel around the world. He is right! 

With Mr Muhammad Petro Barbeito

Actually, I am seeing myself in the next 20 years.... am I still doing what I love to do? Err am I fit enough to do the same things like him? Somehow I remembered what Mr Jack Ma of Alibaba.com said that "Do what you do best at age of 40 years and share with the young peoples at the age of 50"... err I am sharing at the age of 40 already huh... 

Stand still means declined! 

Seven characteristics of a good trainers - 7C

Character

By character I mean the professional credentials and credibility of the trainer. Training as a career choice is different from all other professions. You need to have a passion towards training your disciples to success especially since you, as a trainer, would be responsible for several young enthusiasts’ career. A trainer faces his acid test when his students undergo their final evaluation. Therefore, a good trainer is one who considers his job a lot more than merely a source of income. If you actually start believing that you are doing more than just earning your salary, you would be able to influence and impress your students a lot more effectively.

Tuan Kamarul Azhar - founder of Ahadan Coach

Command on the subject

The second most important trait that is important for a trainer to have is a thorough grasp of his subject. Needless to say, a trainer with an imperfect knowledge about his topics is jeopardizing the careers of his students, and such a person soon loses the respect of his class. The only way you can effectively grab the attention as well as the respect of the trainees is to convey to them that you indeed have a superior knowledge of the subject. E.g. I am the ITIL Expert with industry certification and thorough experiences. 

Communication Skills

Its one thing to have the necessary qualifications and expertise of a subject and another to be able to communicate your knowledge to an audience effectively! Some trainers lose the respect and interest of their audience despite their superior knowledge of the subject because they lack the confidence and the communication skills to connect with their students. 

Tuan Syed Faizal S.Rahman

Control

It often happens that a discussion heading towards a certain topic swings to something entirely different, which distracts the attention of the class and leads to a wastage of valuable time. Now, it is the trainer's job to be on the driver’s seat and ensure that everyone is on the same wavelength. This takes not only confidence but also a lot of subtlety and tactfulness to keep the trainees focused on the subject.

Contact

The trainer must be capable enough to address the needs of every individual participant in his class. He shouldn’t allow himself to get carried away by the superior understanding and grasping prowess of a few bright students and neglect the needs of the rest of the flock. Every individual is different, as far as intelligence is concerned, so the trainer needs to ensure that everyone is progressing at the same pace and nobody gets left behind.

Mr Abu Barzah, new talented comer

Clarity

A good trainer is one who is able to make his subject as simple and interesting as possible. His language should be stimulating but prosaic. There should be no element of ambiguity. If the topic under discussion is challenging and complicated, the trainer try to go slow and be patient enough to repeat himself as many times as needed.

Mr Azhar Samat, expert in outdoor training

Charisma

Nobody is interesting in listening to the droning drivels of a boring dud. No matter how important a topic you seem to be discussing, if you don’t have a charismatic personality, people simply won’t listen. Period! A successful trainer is one who is able to enthrall and captivate his students with his words. Being charismatic and dynamic will dramatically improve the trainer's acceptability and likeability amongst his audience. They then won’t have to make an effort to listen but will listen despite themselves, and will keep up with everything that’s being taught to them.

FIRST TIME SCUBA DIVING IN PHUKET

Salam 

ENGLISH VERSION

Actually I am looking forward to my first scuba diving experience, however I always wonder if I get claustrophobic phobia or nervous when underwater. I have been tried a lot of things in life but I don't like to be in closed or small space or under water where less oxygen… but we would not know until we tried it right! This is one of my 100 dreams that I really wanted to fulfill. #Rahsia100Impian #R100I

From Wikipedia

Claustrophobia is the fear of having no escape and being in closed or small space or room It is typically classified as an anxiety disorder and often results in panic attack, and can be the result of many situations or stimuli, including elevators crowded to capacity, windowless rooms, and even tight-necked clothing. The onset of claustrophobia has been attributed to many factors, including a reduction in the size of the amygdala, classical conditioning, or a genetic predisposition to fear small spaces.

Day-by-day, the dream is getting stronger and inspiring to see the creation of Allah in the underwater world. Thus, we set the target and register ourselves for Scuba Course in Scuba Diving Phuket PADI 5Star Dive Centre, Phuket Thailand. It is cost about ThB 1500 per person. (MYR1600). The best part of the offer, money back guarantee if we decided to cancel our trips even within 24 hours before.

We booked our flight ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Phuket via Malaysia Airlines (MAS) cost us about MYR350 per person. (Early booking guarantees good price). We stayed at Amata Hotel, Patong 4 Star and cost us about USD17/day booking via Agoda.com. Again, early booking and non-peaks session will ensure good discounted price.

DAY-1

At 9.00 am our pick up arrived at the hotel to take us to Super Dive Centre. We were introduced to Mr Michael Clark known as Mike. He is our instructor for the next 3 days.  The program is started with Theory Class via Video session, Quiz and final exam for Professional Association of Diving Instructor (PADI) certification.

All of us passed the the theoretical exam with flying colour and my wife got 90% passing marks … ha ha ha ... 

Then we were brought to PADI Dive Centre equipped with swimming pool of 4 meter deep for practical training. Before we start the practical training, we need to undergo 2 more practical tests – swimming for 300 meter with foot fins and floating for 10 minutes. Alhamdulillah both of us get thru the practical tests.  I admired at my wife as she managed to get thru this test because only recently she learned how to swim and floating.

In Practical training, Mr Mike teaches us the foundation knowledge and skills as scuba diver. We were introduced with the dive equipment e.g. Buoyancy Control Device BCD, Mask Snorkeling, Fin, Scuba Tank, Regulator, Computer Clock and others. For the safely reasons, we also learned how to install our own equipment and check our buddy too. We practiced clearing our masks, equalizer (popping our ears), switching/ replacing our regulators with buddy and buoyancy. 

During the practise I noticed that I kept on holding my masks gear and felt the water is go into my nose. Mr Mike advised,“I see nothing wrong with your gear. It’s all in your mind! Trust your equipment and breathing slowly” . One thing for sure, breathing underwater does not feel natural and little freaky though!

We spent near 2 hours in pool for practising.  Mr Mike was so patient and motivates us to trust ourselves and remove the fears!

With all this practices, it’s really improved our level of confidence and I felt like I have eliminated my phobia. Ahamdulillah.. Anyway the pool is only 4 meter deep and you can see the surface in case of any panic-attack but tomorrow we were told that the deep is 12 – 18 meter…..  err can I?

DAY-2 AND DAY-3

On the day of dive, we woke up a bit early, took our breakfast (a bit light) and wait at the hotel’s lobby for pick-up. We went to the other side of Phuket for boat rides to Racha Noi & Yai. It is taken about 30 minutes to reach the boat areas and 2 hours for Racha Noi Island.

During the boat ride, our instructor Mr Mike gave us briefing then we need to check our own and buddy equipment. Whatever we practised yesterday is now being tested. The boat siren sound loudly which means we are 10 minutes to destinations. Gear up guys!

One by one divers jumped into the ocean and we are the last persons to do so. Honestly, I do not know what to expect and little scary.  We start with practicing “Tired divers technique” for few meters towards shallow water. Then we slowly descending further and further into another world – underwater world. It was amazing! I keep smiling in heart and amaze with the scenery that I am experiencing. Masyallah... no words shall describe what we seen! 

Even in the deep sea, Mr Mike keeps showing his confident and motivates face to us that we can do! We did not notice that we have descending down to 12 meter deep and 45 minutes underwater. We so amaze with the uniqueness of the underwater creatures. The water was so clear up to 20 meter view and the reef was so beautiful. It was just stunning!

After our first dive, we had lunch and debrief by Mr Mike. We discussed what we do wrong and how to improve our skills. For every subsequent dive, we are tested our skills to qualified the PADI requirements.

After 2 – 3 dives, we start feeling confortable and get use to move around with less fear. Our confident are high, we can’t wait for the next dive. It was truly amazing! We also got chance for some fun-dive near Racha Noi.

We are so pleased that we choose Scuba Diving Phuket for our first experience diving. Special thanks to Mr Mike that are patience enough train us and ensure our safety thru out the course.  We also learned that diver are family!

It was an amazing experience that we will never forgot. Diving is close to flying! Indeed we feel that we are flying in deep blue sea.

Wassalam
