Slow Movements of the Swedish

It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule. 

Globalized processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results. Therefore, we have come to possess a need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.

1. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants.
2. Stockholm has 500,000 people.
3. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, are some of its renowned companies. Volvo even supplies NASA.

The first time I was in Sweden , one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work).

The first day, I didn't say anything, neither the second or third days. One morning I asked him, "Do you have a fixed parking space? I notice that we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot."

To which he replied, "Since we're here early we'll have time to walk, don't you think that whoever gets in late will need a place closer to the door?"

Imagine my face.

Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe named Slow Food. This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing. Slow Food is against its counterpart, Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.

Basically, the movement questions the sense of "hurry" and "craziness" generated by globalization, fuelled by the desire of "having in quantity" (life status) versus "having with quality", "life quality" or the "quality of being".

French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more productive than Americans or British. Germans have established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity driven up by 20%.

This slow attitude has come to the notice of USA , the pupils of the fast and "do it now" brigade.

This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower productivity.It means working and doing things with greater quality, productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress. It means re-establishing family values, friends, free and leisure time. Taking the "now", present and concrete, versus the "global", undefined and anonymous. It means taking humans' essential values, the simplicity of living.

It stands for a less coercive work environment, a happier, lighter and more productive work place where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do.

It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence.

Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious to live for the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists.

We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in what each one of us does with our time. 

We need to live each moment.

What Should I Do If I Love Someone SO SO Much & Can't Get Married?

Tudung Bonggol

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda:

“dua golongan penghuni neraka yang mana aku sendiri belum pernah melihat keadaan mereka didunia: golongan yang membawa cemeti seperti seekor lembu lalu menggunakannya untuk memukul manusia dan juga kaum wanita yang berpakaian seperti bertelanjang, menggoyangkan badan dan berlenggang-lenggok, kepala mereka ada suatu seperti bonggol di kepala unta yang bergoyang-goyang. Mereka tentu tidak akan memasuki syurga atau mencium baunya sedangkan bau syurga itu dapat dihidu dari jarak perjalanan begitu dan begini”

Hadith riwayat Muslim. Hadith no 212

Semangat Motivasi untuk Diri Sendiri!

1. Untuk murah rezeki, setiap pagi, petang, siang, malam say: THANK YOU ALLAH!

2. Buat apa yang kita MINAT. Buat apa yang kita CINTA. Kalau kita lakukan sesuatu kerana minat dan cinta (passion) kita tak akan rasa penat, bosan dan letih. Kerja siang malam pun kita rasa best. Tidur pun excited nak bangun sebab nak buat kerja. masa buat kerja, tak rasa pun masa berlalu!

3. Sekiranya segalanya TIDAK SEPERTI KITA MAHU, atau ditimpa malang, atau masalah yang besar, atau berada di dalam satu krisis, berhenti sebentar dan yakin pada diri sendiri bahawa segala-galanya ada HIKMAH nya. Dalam apa pun keadaan yang sukar, pastinya ada penyelesaiannya dan seringkali kita akan menjadi INSAN YANG LEBIH KUAT & HEBAT selepas melalui kesukaran tersebut!

4. Untuk BERJAYA, kita perlu melatih minda kita untuk MELIHAT PELUANG yang ada di sekeliling kita. Untuk GAGAL, kita perlu melihat halangan-halangan yang ada di depan kita!

5. Kita akan jadi seperti orang yang disekeliling kita. Jika kita hendak berjaya, berkawan dengan orang-orang berminda positif. Jika kita hendak gagal, berkawan dengan orang-orang berminda negatif. Hadis pun ada menyebut umpama berteman pembawa minyak wangi, kita akan rasa harumannya. Bertemankan tukang besi, akan terkena percikan api!
