Menangkap Rubah Rubah Kecil // Catching The Little Foxes

Menangkap Rubah Rubah Kecil is a book from Leonardo Sjamsyuri..

our life is surrounded by small foxes which destroy small things in our life and those can block you to the path you wanna go..
the little foxes would running around the garden, messing up, and smashing up the plants..

Our life is the garden..
Our ambition..our goals are the plants..
so what are the little foxes?

according to his book, there are four types of little foxes : Lidah&Bibir *what we say, Pemborosan *wasteful, Kemalasan&Kelambanan *laziness&slackness, Kebebalan *stupidity


ummm...i would like to write my own description of Little Foxes..
here we go :
we always have goals on every place we are working at or studying at.. *whether we are employee, students, free-man-standing, enterpreneur, or whatever..

i'm an employee, but also a student, and a free-woman-standing..

• i am working in a furniture manufacturer, i have goals as a marketing and i also have personal ambition there..

• i am contributing in cocomomo, with my friends..i also have many goals not only for cocomomo but also for me as well..

• i start to build my own little kingdom ableworkspace *phewww..its still a long journey baby...

• i learn how to do graphic design..

• i learn how to do 3D..

• i learn autoCad..

*all by myself..CD tutorials..and my laptop called ANDREW..

sooooooooo...i have many things to do..many goals to reach..many ambitions..
i have many plants..and i do watering them daily..
things that delaying even stopping my plants to grow well are The Little Foxes..

The Little Foxes are small things *errrr.... okay..small sins.. that im not supposed to do whenever im on working..so these are things that they can do :

• they distract consentration
• they stop us from being focus
• they forbid us to get our job done on time
• they make us decide to lay down for a little while
• they make us think that 'okay..so far you've done well..just stop and relax..you deserve it' ..its a lie !! finish the job first then take a rest..
• they make us saying TOMORROW quite often..
  

For me, The Little Foxes are :

• facebook-ing while working, @office or when im on tutorial learning schedule
• mind-thinking...'oo..cocomoco is fine, the launching is still december, just do the business plan tomorrow' etc..etc..
• blogging in the middle of hectic rundown !!! :(
• snacking *cemil-cemil makanan bikin ga fokus!!
• daydreaming *supposed to be dreaming then wake up and grant them !!
• self-pity
• being lazy
• satisfy sooooo easily
• playing around
  

ukaiiiiiiiiiii....
those are the little foxes running around next to me..
i'd like to catch them and throw them away..
*burn them !!

so i can plant my flower well and my garden will be beautiful..
(so i can grant my goals and my life will be beautiful)

*yipeeeeeeeee..

Great Book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have read this book for few pages on my previous trips to singapore. Finally i did buy it !!!
The title is Dont Mess With The Logo, by Jon Edge and Andy Milligan.
This is a very unloaded book that can explain brand in such simple ways.
I mean Karen Post, The Branding Diva, is quite theoritic..and also Gitomer..

But this book really open my mind : that brand, branding, even brandy can be understood in a different point of view..in a simpler way..and also brand and branding are actually FUN !!!!

these are few pages of the book..
i really like the second quote.. A HAMBURGER BY ANY OTHER NAME COSTS TWICE AS MUCH..




*two thumbS up !! i also like Jack Trout, with his DIFFERENTIATE OR DIE !!


nice and tricky!! (dont forget the little TM..hahaha..)


and thiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssss is my fave quote from Stephen King..(no..still not that Stephen King)
