Young Age in Working

Haha, I was just back from work, seeing all my housemate sleeping so sweet on their beds, and I was just came back from site work.

Is it good that I am so hardworking, working until the late night. Yes, many people do think that, Aiya you are just a fresh graduate, you should be more hardworking, when people ask you to do something, just do it, like what NIKE says. Because you can learn something from there even though you have to be the postman for the company. Please do learn something from what you are doing.

Yes, I do have this thought before, JUST DO IT and LEARN FROM THERE. But now I am very tired while working. Many officers and engineers from my company decide to resign from their position after my boss comes back from US next week. Many of my colleague says the boss is bad and organizes things unsystematically.

Somehow I was also affected by their words, I did thought my boss is bad. But now, I know what I want from the company, why I stay in this company even thoough there are many big companies out there. No matter how is the boss, if I can get what I want fro here, then I will stay.

"LEARNING WILL NOT END, DOING WILL NOT FINISH" so please do make sure what you want to learn and what you want to doin this stage, FINISH the task as to complete your aim for this stage. Then, climb up to next stage when you already finish this stage. One stage by one stage. Please do have patience in what you are learning and doing.

"LEARNING and DOING WILL ONLY END WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO LEARN AND DO"

Learning

Do you know that i have to work on Saturday? Haha, I think many of us are working on saturday as well. How is your works on saturday, got a feeling of waiting to be holiday? bringing children to play? Have your rest time planned on the weekend?

I have just receive a call from my boss in US, ask me to support one project in WD. Helping to solve the problem of Fan Filter Unit in WD. I was shock by this, suddenly I feel that my anger was arise from the heart. What! Why it is so sudden? I was not able to accept it.

However, I do call to the person incharge in the project. I do provide them some guidance and suggestion through the phone. So, actually I don't have to go site, just have to provide the guidance here. I was doubt taht my boss ask me to go to the site and support them, but I have nothing to support them since i also still learning to solve those problem. He asked me to learn, this is the good opportunity to learn, but how am I going to learn? by myself, try and error? work until midnight with no result?

I think some other experience senior should support this project. Perhaps, I am new and lack of knowledge, if a senior do accompany to there, I will go since I have a guidance and I can learn more from the senior.

What do you think about this decision? I just provide them some guidance and solution as I know, and I do shut off my phone at night to avoid any disturbance from them. Haha, I want to learn something but not learning like that.

Learn must be effective with the right methods. Learn must have a mentor/ book to guide.

The story of the water jet

Yesterday, I was jogging with my manager at Kota Kemuning Park. There is a very wonderful place to relax and rest.

I was a few step in front of my manager, therefore I slow down and stopped on the side, watching the water jet up from the pond. Yup, there is a big pond in the middle of the park.

While watching the water, I saw a phenomenon which may already experienced by other. The water is jet up to certain level of height above the pond by the water pump. As we know, if we increase the pump power and its capacity, definitely the water is jet higher than this level. We also note that if increase the pump power, it will increase the cost, in the sense of initial cost and energy cost. If you increase the power, the water will jet higher because pressure is sufficient to pump the water to next step. It should understand by every people.

But do we see this phenomenon in our life? I mean our daily living activities. I do. I observe this phenomenon used to be happened in the working life. When you are pushed by your boss, give you a heavy pressure, you definitely will work harder and harder,but in the sense your boss also invest the time and effort to train you.

In stead boss should not give over pressure to worker until the worker to be exhausted. I believe the world is fair. If you want to get something, you have to give up something/ sacrifice something. But it can not be too much/ over the limit, because the thing can not stand for that, it will break.

You and I will get nothing at the last if you and I giving too much pressure to each other. Therefore, the balance point is very important in doing any thing.

"Balance" is the key word, but there is different balance point for every people. What is yours? What is your limit?

Look from the Big and Do from the Small

Yesterday, when I was jogging with my Assistant General Manager, he did chat with me. I also shared something of my future with him, he did adviced me that to look from the big picture, but when start doing the things, you should prepare yourself from the small stuffs.

Perhaps, you can start with the big stuffs if you are afford to do that. But, i do feel that we shall build a firm foundation for ourself before move to further advance situation. I believe every things in this world do follow one unchangeable concept, that is the dependent origion.

If we do manage to handle and understand this concept,we do canhandle all the things in this world with a calm and wise mind.

Then, What is "Look Big", look big is telling me that, I should see something in a whole picture, not seeing only a corner of the picture, because I will lose something if I just see from a corner. Just like an example, if you are watching the stock market now, you should not just focus on Malaysia stock market, because if the economic of the world is badly affected, it will strongly affect malaysia stock market as well. We shall see from a big picture.

Therefore, in the real world, many people know this concept but they do forget to practice it in their life, therefore many problems happens in this world. Such as careless mistake, misunderstanding, and etc.

I did see many of this cases happen on the fresh graduate like me. We always aim to earn much money while getting into the working environment, always think to work in foreign country. But they do forget to see the big picture, which is their objective of earning much money is for what, and does this comapny offer them with this opportunity? Then, fresh graduate don't like to work the labour work, we always complain why should I do this, I am University Graduate. what do you think. We should do from the small position, Do any thing which we can help and learn from them. Then the knowledge will be one of your assest in the future.

"LOOK FROM BIG and DO FROM SMALL", I hope every graduate can success in their life.

Walking back from company

Today morning, I drive the company Van back to company together with my housemate (also colleague). Perhaps, we thought they will be someone fetch us back home after work. Therefore, we did not bring any helmet.

However, after work, everybody is leaving back home, I am waiting my colleague because we are going back together. We miss the transport back to home, so both of us have to walk back to home.

My house is around 1 km away from my company. While walking to home, I try to concentrate on my walking step. Whatsoever my mind is just like an untrained monkey, the mind can not relax and calm down. I have a lot of thinking in my mind. I try to watch my steps and counting for the steps. Whispering to myself, left...right...left...right...., I try to get my mind with me. But it is only for a moment.

"The untrained mind is very dangerous", this phase is always reminded in my mind. Untrained mind will cause many problem to our daily life, we can't even know what we are doing with the untrained mind. Our mind will lack of power, less energy.

Mind power is significant to improve ourself. therefore, I always tell myself to know what am I doing now. Perhaps, this reminder cause an unconcious disturbance in concentrating what we are doing.

Therefore, just be aware and relax on doing things. Don't put too much of pressure on it.

Raised floor equipment

Raised floor is being used in cleanroom design which purposely to provide better ventilation, avoid great humid environment and provide ground work installation. Besides that, it also designed to be modular, and to be distribute all load evenly on the panel, minizing deflection and lateral movement.

Raised floor mainly divided into two types, aluminum and steel. Boths types of raised floor can be divided into perforated and solid plate. Perforated plate is mainly applied into the high end clean room since it provides good ventilation. Good ventilation means high Volume Air Change in the room. Good ventilation can prevent the growth of micro organisme and fungus.

The surface of the raised floor is coated with types of materials which are PVC tile and HPL tile. PVC tile is more roough than HPL (High Pressure Laminated) tile. HPL tile is manufactured through a high press process to combine many layers of material. PVC tile is done by combines different material by insert one of the material to the others.

To select which types of tile being used is based on the required conductivity. There are three types of conductivity, conductive, static dissipative and anti-static.

Raised floor is widely used in data center which required good ventilation to protect the server in the data center.

There is one big manufacturer is doing this raised floor equipment is VERO Technologies company. Raised floor equipment comes with pedalster, stringer and brazing rod. To select the raised floor, we mainly considers the load that the raised floor can support. Four important criteria to look into are uniform load, concentrated load, rolling load and ultimate strength. These criteria should be tested based on the standard of CISCA (US), JIS (Japan), RAL (Europe).

Why are we working???

These days I am busy on working. Actually, why are we working, to earn money for a living? or to earn a better life? or to earn for families? or to earn for knowledge?

After graduate, many fresh graduates busy finding their future? but how many of them know their future well? nowadays, graduates aim for high salary for working? They expect to have RM2500 and above, they expect to travel and work in oversea. Actually, what they need, may be some of them also don't know. I see many friends like that. Every one is chasing of to earn money, but when I ask them how much you need for your living? they don't know. Then I ask what life style you want? they says luxurious life style. How luxurious you want? they don't know.

Do you know that. Many of them keep earning much money, but they don't know why they are earning so much money. Yes, no money, we can live in this society. But yet how much money is enough for you? There are many things more important than money.

I also working to earn money, but I am clearly understand how much is enough for me, and why I work here. Many uncles and aunts ask me to go for bigger company and they do introduce me to some multinational company. But I refuse it because I know what I want.

Perhaps, we shall says let us have a life planning, have our dream, understand our direction and acts to fulfill our dream. We must clearly know what we want, what we can, and what will we act. Love what you are doing and also do what you love. You must be success.
