Nick Vujicic Video - Kekurangan Tidak Bermakna Tidak Boleh
Video ini saya pernah dapat few years ago through email. Lepas saya forwardkan email tersebut kepada kawan-kawan, saya mendapat satu email yang mengatakan terima kasih. Katanya, video ini memberi motivasi kepada beliau untuk yakin dengan diri sendiri, kalau Nick Vujicic boleh buat, dia juga boleh.
Beliau juga mengatakan, mulai dari hari itu, beliau tidak akan komplen lagi, merungut lagi jika beliau gagal melakukan sesuatu, kerana Nick Vujicic tidak komplen akan kekurangannya atau mengharapkan bantuan orang lain, sebaliknya beliau cuba untuk hidup seperti biasa.
I think I will also show this video next time I give motivational talk to students.

Pencetus Motivasi Diri
Setiap orang mempunyai pencetus motivasi diri yang tersendiri. Ada orang mempunyai beberapa pencetus motivasi diri, yang mana bagi sesuatu perkara pencetus motivasi itu berbeza dengan perkara yang lain. Contohnya, bagi seorang pelajar, dalam bab belajar bersungguh-sungguh beliau mengambil kesusahan keluarga sebagai pencetus motivasi untuk cemerlang dalam pelajaran. Manakala, dalam aktiviti kepimpinan di sekolah, beliau mengambil tokoh terkenal seperti Perdana Menteri sebagai idola yang sentiasa membakar semangat beliau untuk aktif dalam aktiviti kepimpinan di sekolah.
Pencetus motivasi pula boleh berubah mengikut masa. Kadang ada pencetus motivasi juga tidak lagi berkesan membakar semangat kita, maka ketika itu kita perlu mencari cetusan yang baru.
Apabila sesuatu matlamat kita tercapai, pencetus motivasi itu pula mungkin akan pergi, seterusnya diganti dengan pencetus motivasi baru bagi matlamat yang baru.
Pencetus motivasi diri mestilah yang genuine, yang original, yang real, yang lahir dari hati, bukan dari minda. Satu ujian untuk menguji samada sesebuah pencetus motivasi itu genuine atau tidak ialah dengan mencabar diri anda dengan mengatakan anda tipu atau membuang pencetus itu dari anda. Kalau anda tidak emotional, tidak menangis, tidak marah apabila dicabar, itu bermakna pencetus motivasi itu tidak genuine.
Maka, carilah pencetus motivasi diri anda dalam sebarang perkara yang anda lakukan. Sesungguhnya kita memerlukan motivasi dalam hidup, supaya kita akan berusaha dengan gigih untuk mencapai matlamat kita.
Di antara contoh pencetus motivasi diri ialah:
- Kesusahan keluarga mendorong seorang pelajar untuk berusaha bersungguh-sungguh dalam pelajaran
- Pesan arwah ibu atau bapa supaya belajar bersungguh-sunggup, menjadi anak soleh
- Mengkagumi seseorang yang telah berjaya, anda juga ingin berjaya
- Guru yang selalu membakar semangat anda
- Cita-cita untuk menjadi angkasawan ke-2 Malaysia, menjadi perdana menteri dsb.
- Kritikan kawan-kawan yang mengatakan anda tidak boleh melakukannya. Maka anda ingin membuktikan anda boleh.
- Belum pernah orang melalukannya, anda ingin menjadi yang pertama. Contohnya, ingin menjadi angkasawan Malaysia yang pertama, atau menjadi rakyat Malaysia pertama mendapat Nobel Prize
Saya mengalu-alukan contoh-contoh real life pencetus motivasi dari pembaca sekalian. Mungkin kisah-kisah anda dapat memberi motivasi kepada pembaca yang lain. Sila klik 'comment' di bawah artikel ini untuk share kisah cetusan motivasi anda.

Friends Are Our Best Motivators
This week has been a quiet week at work. It is Wednesday, half way through the week. Not much activities in my calendar and my to do laundry list is not many too. I am not used to this situation. Not sure about others, but I find that I become very productive and effective when I am fully loaded with work. When I am loaded 120%, I get all of them done more effectively and with best quality. But, when my plate is only 25% loaded, I loose the motivation to anything.
So, I send email to the mailing list of my high school friends, asking for ideas - what I should do to keep me busy. I was overwhelm by their replies. Thanks folks - you guys are my best friends as always. Today, one of them whom I never talked with in school, initiated a chat with me - asking me questions about my situation and then gave me an idea. I find it a great idea, something that I love and enjoy doing. She asked me to write a book about my experience that can motivate people. She pointed me to check websites on how to write a book. I found many of them. Somehow, I feel motivated by her suggestion - I didn't know my friends who have been reading my emails and messages on my Facebook think I should book my stories.
Then, soon after that chat, my wife walked in, I told her a friend suggests I write a book. She then told one my colleagues who recently retired (at age of 45) is also writing a book. I immediately rang him up. Yes, he has found a way how to write and publish a book - something I am looking for. Again, this news motivate me.
It takes only 2 friends to get ourselves motivated. A simple chat and a answer to a phone call by friends motivate me to do something I have been trying to do. Write a blog and publish the contents in a book.
So today, I am determined to continue blogging, writing something from my experiences, from my heart (hati) and from my mind (minda). My blog does not have every reader, but I'd be extremely happy even if it motivates 1 person. Just like today, it took only 2 old friends to motivate me. Something great does not have to be from and by many people.
So, if you are down, talk to someone. Don't layan yourself with the bad mood, or don't let your bad mood or your situation continue to influence you.
Enjoy my blog everyone! Keep reading!
