Achieve Your Dreams: Six Steps to Accomplish Your Goals and Resolutions

Salam,

A very good article from About.com by Susan M. Heathfield.

Don’t let your goals and resolutions fall by the wayside. Chances are that to achieve your dreams and live a life you love, those goals and resolutions are crucial. Goal setting and goal achievement are easier if you follow these six steps for effective and successful goal setting and resolution accomplishment.

• You need to deeply desire the goal or resolution. Napoleon Hill, in his landmark book,Think and Grow Rich, had it right. “The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.” So, your first step in goal setting and achieving your dreams is that you’ve got to really, really want to achieve the goal.

• Visualize yourself achieving the goal. Lee Iacocca said, “The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.” What will your achievement feel like? How will your life unfold differently as a result? If the goal is a thing, some gurus of goal setting recommend that you keep a picture of the item where you see and are reminded of it every day. If you can’t picture yourself achieving the goal, chances are – you won’t.

6 Kunci Kekayaan

Salam,

Semalam berkesempatan berjumpa klien unit trust saya. Saya memberi status terkini pelaburan beliau dari segi keuntungan semasa.  Pelaburan daripada wang EPF tersebut dibuat semenjak tahun 2005 lagi.

Beliau berpuashati dengan jumlah keuntungan semasa, dan turut menghargai perlindungan takaful percuma yang diperolehi. Cuma beliau kematian isteri tahun lepas, saya teringat untuk menukar penama baru bagi perlindungan takaful tersebut. Kena dapatkan borang daripada cawangan terdekat terlebih dahulu.

Beliau juga menjalankan penternakan ikan keli di belakang rumah beliau, disamping turut bergiat aktif dalam bidang MLM.

BUKU MOTIVASI

Beliau juga minat membaca buku-buku motivasi. Antara buku yang dimiliki ialah Petunjuk Jalan Kekayaan, karya Dr. Rusly Abdullah Ph.D. atau dikenali juga sebagai Chef Li

Panduan Mengira Zakat Pendapatan

Salam,

Dalam harta kita, terdapat hak orang lain yang perlu ditunaikan kepada mereka. Justeru itu, Islam mewajibkan pembayaran zakat pendapatan ke atas setiap individu muslim yang layak untuk membersihkan harta tersebut.

Sabda Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud:”Sesungguhnya Allah telah memfardhukan zakat sebagai pembersihan terhadap harta.” Riwayat Bukhari

Pembayaran zakat ini boleh dibuat kepada pusat pungutan zakat negeri.  Soalnya, bagaimanakah kita boleh mengetahui jumlah pendapatan yang dikenakan zakat, cara pengiraan dan kadar zakat yang dikenakan?

Tolak Hukum Islam Murtad – Mufti Perak

Salam,

Usaha berterusan Sisters In (Anti) Islam untuk melawan hukum Allah sepatutnya membuka mata pihak kerajaan untuk berbuat sesuatu dengan kumpulan ini.

Banyak yang diperjuangkan adalah bertentangan dengan hukum-hukum Islam, namun suara ‘sumbang’ mereka terus kedengaran dan diberi ruang, malah kadang-kadang turut disokong oleh pergerakan wanita kerajaan.

Terbaru, Mufti Perak mengeluarkan hukum yang jelas bagi orang yang menolak hukum Islam iaitu murtad. Beliau mengeluarkan kenyataan tersebut berikutan SIS yang terus mencuba untuk menghalang perlaksanaan hukuman sebat ke atas Kartika, walaupun bekas model tersebut tetap tegas untuk menerima hukuman itu!
