Tentang Mengelola Rasa Kecewa

Posted on January 7, 2023January 7, 2023 by umihabibah

Salah satu alasan mengapa banyak orang tidak mau berharap terlalu tinggi, adalah karena takut kecewa setengah mati. Semakin besar harapan kita–ndakik-ndakik kalau orang Jawa bilang–semakin kecewa rasanya saat harapan itu ternyata tidak terwujud. Sayangnya, saat kita mengecilkan harapan, atau manage expectation istilahnya, kerap kali diikuti dengan berkurangnya usaha untuk mewujudkan harapan tersebut. Mengapa? Tentunya karena…

Selamat Datang 2023

Posted on December 30, 2022December 30, 2022 by umihabibah

Jujur enggak nyangka 2022 bakalan super melelahkan jiwa. Pergi ke berbagai tempat, ketemu bermacam2 orang, bergonta-ganti kerjaan dalam waktu singkat. Belum pernah saya merasakan emosi campur aduk se-intens ini…mungkin sejak si bocil lahir ya. Bagaimanapun, saya senang karena perasaan jungkir balik ini telah membuatku bisa mengurai benang ruwet di dalam diri dan menemukan semangat baru…

“Kerja, Kerja, Kerja. Uang Akan Datang dengan Sendirinya.”

Posted on October 25, 2018 by umihabibah

Judul di atas adalah sepenggal quote yang pernah saya dengar dari Azrul Ananda, mantan CEO Jawa Pos Group yang juga “putra mahkota” kerajaan bisnis bapaknya, Dahlan Iskan. Kalimatnya menggelitik, seolah menampar kita2 para kuli keringat yang bekerja demi sesuap Hokkaido cheese tart dan selembar tiket PP keliling Eropa. Kalau gak buat cari duit, buat apa…

Innovators, Customers and Things Between

Posted on November 12, 2015 by umihabibah

Six months ago, in the beginning of Michaelmas term, my housemate once commented when I told him that I study Entrepreneurship and Innovation. “Innovation? What are you studying about? Something like—how to innovate?” I just laughed to that sarcasm, though deep down, yes, it got me thinking. He’s studying Finance, something very clear and concrete…

The Expense of ‘Being Nice’ in the Workplace

Posted on October 29, 2015 by umihabibah

Everybody loves nice people. Nice people won’t hurt you. Nice people will always help you. Nice people can even be the vehicle you use when you need to go further. Oh and everybody likes to be liked.

UK-Europe and the Job Market

Posted on June 2, 2015 by umihabibah

Most of the industrial manufacturing plants have off-shored to far away countries as a result of…
