7 Toxic Attitudes That Can Harm Your Career

There are certain attitudes that you will not find among successful employees. These attitudes resemble illnesses and if left unchecked, can destroy careers. Here are some of the most common:

1. "If they promote me, I'll show them how capable I am." This person has the process exactly reversed. Capability needs to be demonstrated in order to secure the promotion. This means doing far more than the basics of the job. It requires extraordinary performance and loads of initiative.

2. "I won't turn down any requests because I want to have a reputation as a can-do person." This is more controversial. I know of some consultants who recommend this approach. Unfortunately, there are some projects that will consume too much time and will seriously inhibit the successful performance of other, more important projects. A person who overpromises and then underperforms is unlikely to succeed. The successful person knows his or her limitations and carefully explains the choice of priorities. You succeed both by the projects you take on and the ones you avoid.

3. "I'm going to stick with this until I make it a success." Persistence is admirable, but it can become foolish. The persistent person needs to learn when to drop projects that have become a drain of resources and time.

4. "I'm a turn-around artist." That may be the case and there's no doubt that such skills can be sorely needed. Turn-around artists should recognize, however, that they have short shelf lives. Eventually, management will want to put this wizard into another hot spot. If the turn-around artist wants to stay put, new skills will have to be acquired and new expectations negotiated.

5. "I don't need people skills. I'm in a technical position." If the lack of people skills is not noticeable, the techie may be safe. If it becomes an issue, a very harsh lesson may be coming.

6. "I'm a perfectionist." That's all well and good, but the perfectionist had better be able to meet deadlines. As Ronald Reagan quipped about his B-movie career, "They didn't want it good. They wanted it Thursday."

7. "I don't have time to schmooze." Finding some would be wise. Isolation from others keeps out important information and reduces influence. It can be amazing how much can be accomplished today because time was taken for a cup of coffee with another manager six months ago.

Tips keanggunan dan kecantikan

1) Sentiasa dalam keadaan wudhu'

“Dari Abu Hurairah berkata: telah bersabda Rasulullah saw: Apabila seseorang hamba muslim atau mukmin berwuduk maka setelah ia membasuh wajahnya, keluarlah dari wajahnya segala dosa yang telah dilihat oleh kedua matanya melalui air atau bersama titisan air yang terakhir. Ketika membasuh kedua tangannya keluarlah dari kedua tangannya bersama air atau titisan air yang terakhir. Sewaktu ia membasuh kakinya setiap dosa yang dilangkah oleh kedua kakinya bersama air atau bersama air terakhir sehinggalah setelah ia selesai berwuduk ia bersih dari dosa-dosanya. (Hadith riwayat Muslim)”

“Sesungguhnya Rasulullah saw telah bersabda: Sukakah kamu semua sekiranya aku tunjukkan kepada kalian akan amalan yang dapat menghapuskan kesalahan-kesalahan dan mengangkat beberapa darjat kalian? Mereka menjawab: Ya, wahai Rasulullah. Maka Baginda saw pun bersabda: Iaitu (antaranya) menyempurnakan wudhu walaupun dalam keadaan yang tidak disenangi (seperti kesejukan dan sebagainya) (Hadis riwayat Muslim)”

“Dari Abu Hurairah, beliau meriwayatkan dari Rasulullah saw, bahawa syaitan mengikut manusia ketika tidur di malam hari, dengan tiga ikatan. Kemudian Rasulullah saw memberitahu cara untuk merungkai ikatan tersebut, dalam sabda Baginda saw: Sekiranya dia (manusia) bangun (dari tidurnya), dan mengingati Allah, bebaslah satu ikatan. Sekiranya dia berwudhu pula, bebaslah satu ikatan lagi, dan sekiranya dia bersolat, bebaslah satu ikatan lagi. Maka dia akan menjadi segar dan baik dirinya. Sekiranya dia tidak melakukannya (berzikir, wudhu, dan bersolat), maka dia akan menjadi buruk dan pemalas. (Hadith riwayat. al-Bukhari)”

”Sesungguhnya umatku dipanggil pada Hari Kiamat dalam keadaan bercahaya wajah-wajah, tangan-tangan & kaki-kaki mereka kerana bekas wudhu (Hadith riwayat Bukhari & Muslim)”

2) Mengamalkan doa melihat cermin.
3) Berzikir
Wajah yang cantik berseri lahir dari hati yang tenang.

Orang-orang yang beriman dan hati mereka menjadi tenang dengan mengingat Allah. Ingatlah, hanya dengan mengingati Allah hati akan menjadi tenang. Surah ar-Ra'd: 28

“Apakah kamu mahu aku ceritakan kepadamu berkenaan amal perbuatanmu yang terbaik dan yang paling bersih dalam pandangan Allah S.W.T., serta orang yang tertinggi darjatnya di antara kamu, yang lebih baik dari bersedekah emas dan perak serta lebih baik dari memerangi musuh-musuh kamu semua dan memotong leher mereka, dan mereka juga memotong lehermu?” Kemudian para sahabat bertanya, “Apakah itu wahai Rasul?” Beliau menjawab: “Zikir kepada Allah S.W.T.” (Hadith riwayat al-Baihaqi).

4) Melazimkan bacaan zikir berikut.

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنْ الظَّالِمِينَ

Tiada Tuhan yang lain melainkan Engkau. Maha Sucilah Engkau sesungguhnya aku mengaku bahawa aku adalah dari orang-orang yang melakukan kezaliman.

Wallahhua'lam

Bagaimana nak hentikan batuk dalam masa 5 minit

Saya dapat petua ni dari kawan melalui e-mel (Zarina). Mengikut kata beliau petua ni mujarab (beliau telah amalkan petua ini bila anak-anaknya yang batuk)

This is a must try.....
We have all been kept awake by our own or someone else's cough. Try this and pass it on. The tip and not the cough. ANYTHING is! better than antibiotics. Even babies would benefit from this and the parents wouldn't worry about the safety of their child. And of course, it is harmless and free from any type of side-effects.
WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks. How come I never knew this? I can't wait for my next cough. Amazing!
READ IT ALL. It works 100 percent of the time, although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

Treatment:
To stop night time coughing in a child (or an adult, as! we found out personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.

Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time, and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children, as compared to alter! native therapies like acupressure. I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs, so I listened. It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago, and it worked 100 percent! She said it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped in a few minutes, ! and believe me this was a deep (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds, uncontrollable cough and she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it.

If you have children or grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed.

How to stop cough in 5 minutes!!! This is a must try...
