Three Strategies...... About Company Profit

Then where should we start? Which values should we raise first? Is it more effective to concentrate all your efforts on improving one value or to work on all of them simultaneously?

In our experience there are several effective strategies that can be employed to utilize values as a springboard for rapid growth and doubling profitability. Three different approaches are outlined below. Any company can double its profits in 12 to 24 months using one of these three approaches.

1. Raise performance on every corporate value by 5 to 10%
The most powerful way to grow a company is to develop each component and element in a balanced manner. Focusing on the development of many values simultaneously ensures the greatest balance and harmony and generates the maximum results. However, it is also the most difficult strategy to execute, because it requires concentration on many things at once. Incremental progress on many values does not seem as dramatic or significant as sizable progress in one or a few areas, but this strategy generates the maximum results.

2. Implement one value to the highest possible level that it can go
This approach has the advantage of being very clearly focused on a single goal. Focusing on one value is easier and more dramatic. But raising performance on any value throughout the company requires improving performance on many others as well, so the focus is not as narrow as it may seem. The power of this strategy comes from applying the one chosen value comprehensively in every major and minor activity and raising it to the highest conceivable level in all these areas. If you are working on only one value, it is best to chose one that is centrally related to your business and which is rated weakest of the important values.

3. Implement three values to double their present level
This strategy is our favorite. It has some of the advantages of both of the others. It is more balanced than focusing on one value and easier to execute than focusing on 30. We recommend selecting three values which are relatively weak and, therefore, possess the greatest potential for improvement. Preferably, one value should be chosen from each of the three categories-physical, organizational and psychological-listed in Chapter Seven When we say double the level of their implementation, we are speaking figuratively. Doubling refers to something mid-way between a 10% increase referred to in the first strategy and the highest possible level referred to in the second. For example, if you have scored the company 60% on a value across the boards, doubling would be raising it to 80%.

In order to facilitate implementation of this strategy, we recommend that the initial effort to improve each of the three values be started three months apart, i.e. start on one value now, another three months later and the third six months later. But once you have started improving a value, it is important to maintain and continue making improvements during successive periods when you are also working on the other values.


* The real power of values come from implementing them in every corporate activity.
* The implementation of values can be institutionalized in a company by a five step process: making a real commitment to the values, setting clear quantifiable standards, assigning responsibility for achieving the values, creating the right systems for achieving and monitoring performance on them, and training for all the necessary skills and attitudes.

Pakaian & Aksesori Wajib Dimiliki Wanita

1. Celana panjang hitam.

Dengannya, kita bisa memakai kemeja dan blazer untuk berangkat ke kantor. Jika dipadu dengan blus dan aksesori girly, kita siap berangkat kencan dengan si dia. Celana panjang hitam juga pantas dikenakan bersama T-shirt untuk bersantai.

2. Sepatu hak tinggi hitam.
Sama halnya dengan celana panjang hitam, sepatu hak tinggi ini bisa dikenakan untuk kegiatan formal dan kasual. Pilih yang bermodel stiletto atau platform sederhana dengan bagian ujung kaki tertutup. Sepatu dengan warna lain atau model ujung kaki terbuka boleh Anda miliki setelah punya sepatu wajib ini.

3. Kemeja putih.
Kemeja ini bagaikan kanvas yang siap menerima nuansa tata rias dan rambut apa saja. Ia juga sangat fleksibel terhadap waktu dan resmi/tidaknya kegiatan. Dengan kemeja putih yang sama, kita bisa memadu-padankan jaket, blazer, vest, atau syal.

4. Blazer hitam.
Selain menghangatkan tubuh, blazer “merapikan” tampilan. Bisa dipakai untuk urusan kantor dengan bawahan rok pensil, bisa juga dipakai jalan-jalan dengan bawahan rok jins. Pilih blazer yang ukurannya pas di badan, bukan ketat. Blazer yang kekecilan akan menampakkan tonjolan lemak dan terlihat berantakan.

5. Celana jins biru tua.
Biru tua atau indigo tak saja membuat tubuh tampak lebih langsing, tapi juga mudah dipadu-padankan dengan warna lain. Umumnya kelihatan santai dengan T-shirt, tapi bisa naik kelas juga menjadi glamor bila dipadukan dengan jaket kulit, jaket berkerah bulu, atau perhiasan berwarna emas dan perak.

6. Sweater & cardigan.
Sweater dan cardigan memberi sentuhan manis dan ‘effortless’ pada gaya busana apa saja. Selain dipakai di atas kaus, cardigan juga bisa menutupi gaun mini, gaun koktil bertali tipis atau tak bertali. Sedangkan sweater memberi kesan feminin dan tangguh sekaligus. Keduanya dengan mudah serasi dengan rok atau celana apa saja.

7. Pakaian dalam yang tepat.
Meski tak terlihat, namun bila pakaian dalam terasa salah, penampilan kita juga akan terlihat kurang enak dipandang. Miliki setidaknya beha berwarna putih untuk atasan berwarna putih, hitam tanpa tali untuk gaun hitam, sport bra untuk berolahraga dan warna nude bila ingin mengenakan busana menerawang seperti berbahan lace. Miliki juga G-string atau thong untuk celana atau gaun ketat yang menempel di tubuh untuk menghindari penampakan garis celana dalam yang “mengganggu”.

8. Little black dress.
Gaun hitam selalu klasik, elegan dan mudah dipadu padan dengan aksesori.

9. Kacamata hitam.
Kacamata hitam adalah aksesori utama untuk mendapatkan kesan selebritas dengan mudah. Mau model aviator seperti yang dikenakan Sarah Jessica Parker atau model belalang ala Paris Hilton, yang penting sesuaikan dengan bentuk muka Anda. Bila ragu, ajak ibu atau teman terdekat yang bisa diandalkan sarannya saat berbelanja kacamata. Dengan kacamata hitam berkualitas, tampilan kasual berupa jins dan T-shirt langsung menjadi gaya.

10. Tas tangan bergaya klasik.
Sebaiknya Anda menyisihkan uang untuk membeli sebuah tas tangan berkualitas dengan model yang klasik. Berkualitas; berbahan kulit asli yang tentunya tahan lama dengan jahitan yang rapi. Tidak harus bermerk, namun dengan sekali pandang saja tidak terlihat murahan. Sebagai alternative kulit, bahan kanvas pun boleh. Pilih model klasik yang bersih dari detil aneh-aneh atau yang trendy. Bentuk kotak atau trapesium adalah pilihan terbaik.

Between LG, Samsung & Motorolla Screen Size

Was Apple CEO Steve Jobs right about the 7-inch tablet?

In October 2010, Jobs seemed almost gleeful as he denigrated 7-inch tablets as inferior to his 9.7-inch iPad. If you compare the diagonal lengths of a 7-inch and 10-inch screen, he told analysts and media assembled for his company’s quarterly earnings call, you find the former is “only 45 percent as large.”

Indeed, the latter half of 2010 saw the iPad’s competitors rushing to embrace the 7-inch form factor. Samsung, Dell, and Research In Motion all had tablets that size in active development, if not arrived on store shelves.

At the time, Jobs also lobbed a few verbal artillery shells at Google Android.

“We think Android is very, very fragmented, and becoming more fragmented by the day,” he said on that same earnings call. “We also think that our developers could be more innovative if they can target a singular platform, rather than a hundred variants. They can put their time into innovative new features, rather than testing on hundreds of different handsets.”

Now flash-forward to today, and this year’s CTIA conference: nearly every company with a presence here seems to have a tablet ready to hit the marketplace, but very few of them rely on that 7-inch form-factor that previously seemed so popular.

T-Mobile’s 8.9-inch G-Slate, manufactured by LG Electronics, walks the line between those 7-inch models and the 9.7-inch iPad. It features a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra dual-core processor, 32GB of internal memory, and Google Android 3.0 (codenamed “Honeycomb,” and optimized for the tablet form-factor).

Samsung is also debuting two new models of its Galaxy Tab, adding 10.1-inch and 8.9-inch versions to the original 7-incher in its portfolio. These new Samsung tablets also feature Android 3.0, dual-core processors, and an emphasis on lightness and thinness despite their larger screen size.

According to at least one analyst, Samsung is right to embrace a larger form-factor.

“Both [tablets] are big improvements from the 7-inch that we believe was a big misstep,” Brian White, an analyst with Ticonderoga Securities, wrote in a March 23 research note to investors. “In our view, Samsung’s Tab and consumer electronics portfolio stands out as one of the better alternatives for users not interested in the Apple ecosystem, however, we expect Apple to handily retain its lead.”

While the 10.1-inch Motorola Xoom had its big debut at this year’s CES, it also maintains a sizable presence on the CTIA show floor. Optimized with Android 3.0 and a dual-core processor, the device has been touted by some as the first true iPad competitor.

All that being said, some companies continue to throw their weight behind the 7-inch form-factor. On March 22, Sprint unveiled the HTC Evo View 4G, a 7-inch tablet capable of operating on both 3G and speedier 4G networks, and equipped with cameras capable of shooting 3D footage (the LG G-Slate can also snap 3D images and video, hinting at a new trend in mobile tech).

The HTC Evo View 4G relies on a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Unlike the iPad and its Android-based rivals, the tablet also features an HTC Scribe digital pen, which lets users draw and write on documents and Web pages.

RIM’s BlackBerry-branded PlayBook tablet, long in the making, has also appeared at CTIA. In contrast to the other manufacturers’ full-bodied embrace of Android, the 7-inch PlayBook relies on a proprietary operating system. RIM is likely hoping that its dual-core processor, paired with a variety of multimedia features and multitasking ability, will appeal to both consumers and BlackBerry’s traditional business audience.

RIM’s release date for the PlayBook is April 19, with a starting price of $499 for the 16GB model. The 32GB model will retail for $599, and the 64GB for $699.

But however advanced the PlayBook’s capabilities, or how much buzz it earns as a major iPad competitor, the tablet began its development alongside first-generation devices such as the original Galaxy Tab. Subsequent tablets—including the Xoom and the updated Tabs—seem much more inclined to embrace a larger screen-size.

All these new devices face Apple’s new iPad 2, which includes a dual-core A5 processor, front- and rear-facing cameras, a 9.7-inch capacitive touch-screen with 1024 x 768 resolution, and a body some 33 percent thinner than the original iPad.

As Google Android 3.0 offers manufacturers a tablet-optimized (and industry-homogenous) operating system, as Android Marketplace expands its library of solid productivity and gaming apps, as newer hardware such as dual-core processors makes tablets increasingly powerful, it feels as if manufacturers such as Samsung and Motorola are stretching their proverbial legs a little—and feeling that, with all these elements combined, they’re in a stronger position to charge head-on against Apple’s dominance of the tablet market.

Despite that dominance, Android may also be making some headway. Recent data from research firm IDC suggests that Apple’s share of the tablet market fell between the third and fourth quarters of 2010, from 93 percent to 73 percent. That being said, however, IDC also expects Apple to maintain a market-share between 70 percent and 80 percent in 2011, powered largely by the iPad 2’s performance.

The tablets present at CTIA suggest that Apple’s rivals are very interested in taking market-share of their very own—and many of them seem willing to bet on a larger screen-size to do so.

Tentu untuk menghentikan jerawat kita pertama – tama perlu mengetahui bagaimana caranya.

What causes acne?
Apa Penyebab Jerawat ?
One of the most important things you can learn about acne is this: It's not ourfault. Contrary to popular belief, acne is not caused by anything you're doing — what you eat, how often you wash your face or work out — but by a combination of factors at work far beneath the surface of your skin.
Salah satu hal penting yang akan anda pelajari tentang jerawat adalah hal ini bukanlah karena kesalahan kita. Berlawanan dengan kepercayaan yang umum, jerawat disebabkan oleh sesuatu hal yang sedang anda lakukan, apa yang anda makan, berapa sering anda membasahi wajah anda tetapi disebabkan oleh sebuah kombinasi dari beberapa factor dibawah permukaan kulit anda.


A healthy follicle
Sebuah Follicle yang sehat
A blemish begins approximately 2–3 weeks before it appears on your skin's surface. It starts in your sebaceous hair follicles — the tiny holes commonly called pores. Deep within each follicle, your sebaceous glands are working to produce sebum, the oil that keeps your skin moist and pliable. As your skin renews itself, the old cells die, mix with your skin's natural oils, and are sloughed off. Under normal circumstances, these cells are shed gradually, making room for fresh new skin.
But sloughing is different for everyone. Some people shed cells evenly; some don't. Uneven shedding causes dead cells to become sticky, clumping together to form a plug — much like a cork in a bottle. This plug, or comedo, traps oil and bacteria inside the follicle.
Sebuah jerawat mulai tumbuh kira-kira 2-3 minggu sebelum muncul ke permukaan kulit anda. Jerawat mulai pada kantung rambut anda (follicle), sebuah lobang kecil yang disebut dengan pori-pori. Di dalam setiap jaringan follicle, kelenjar sebaceous anda bekerja untuk memproduksi sebum, minyak yang menjaga agar kulit anda tetap lembab dan lembut. Selama kulit memperbaharui dirinya sendiri, sel kulit yang lama mati, bercampur dengan minyak alami kulit anda dan mengenang. Dalam keadaan normal, sel-sel ini terkelupas secara pelan-pelan, menyediakan ruangan untuk kulit baru yang segar. Proses pengelupasan ini berbeda untuk setiap orangnya. Pada Beberapa orang sel-sel nya mengelupas secara merata, pada sebagian orang lagi tidak mengelupas secara merata. Pengelupasan sel yang tidak rata menyebabkan sel-sel mati menjadi lengket, menggumpal bersama untuk membentuk sebuah plak seperti sebuah gabus pada sebuah botol. Plak ini atau comedo atau minyak yang terjebak dan bakteri berada di dalam sel follicle

A plugged follicle
Sebuah jaringan follicle yang terumbat.
The plug traps oil and bacteria within the follicle, which begins to swell as your skin continues its normal oil production. Your body then attacks the bacteria with a busy swarm of white blood cells. The whole process takes 2–3 weeks, culminating in a pimple.
Plag yang terjebak minyak dan bakteri di dalam jaringan follicle, yang mulai bergelombang selama kulit anda memproduksi sejeumlah sel darah putih. Proses semuanya membutuhkan 2-3 minggu, puncaknya pada sebuah bintik merah.


Why me?
Mengapa saya ?
There is no one simple "cause" of acne — the condition is influenced by many factors, many which are out of your control. The regularity with which you shed skin cells can change throughout your life. The rate at which you produce sebum is affected by your hormone balance, which is often in flux — especially for women. Research has also shown that genetics play a big part in the development and persistence of acne, so your family history is a valuable prediction tool as well when considering the various causes of acne.

Tidak ada satu hal sederhana yang menyebabkan jerawat, kondisinya dipengaruhi oleh banyak factor, yang kebanyakan di luar kendali anda. Sifat beraturan yang mana kulit yang mengelupas anda dapat berubah sepanjang hidup anda. Tingkat sebum yang anda diproduksi dipengaruhi oleh keseimbangan hormone anda, pada wanita tingkat keseimbangan hormonnya sering berfluktuasi. Riset telah membuktikan bahwa keturunan mempunyai peran yang besar di dalam perkembangan dan timbulnya jerawat, sehingga sejarah dari keluarga anda adalah merupakan alat prediksi yang sangat berharga ketika mempertimbangkan mengenai berbagai macam penyebab jerwata.
One of the best weapons in the fight against acne, however, is knowledge. By understanding them can help you in your search for the proper acne treatment.
Namun demikian, salah satu senjata dalam melawan jerawat adalah pengetahuan. Dengan mengerti permasalahannya dapat membantu anda mencari penyembuhan yang cocok.
Acne Causes - #1: Hormones.

Penyebab No.1 : Hormon
For the majority of acne sufferers, the trouble begins at puberty, when the body begins to produce hormones called androgens. These hormones cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge, which is a natural part of the body's development. In acne sufferers, however, the sebaceous glands are overstimulated by androgens, sometimes well into adulthood. Androgens are also responsible for acne flare-ups associated with the menstrual cycle and, on occasion, pregnancy.
Untuk kebanyakaan orang yang menderita jerawat, masalahnya muncul ketika sedang masa puber, ketika tubuh mulai memproduksi hormone yang disebut androgen. Hormon ini menyebabkan kelenjar sebaceous membesar, yang merupakan sebuah perkembangan dari bagian tubuh yang normal. Namun demikian, orang yang menderita jerawat, kelenjar sebaceousnya di rangsang secara berlebihan oleh hormone androgen, kadang-kadang sampai masa dewasa. Hormon androgen bertanggung jawab atas munculnya jerawat, berhubungan juga dengan siklus menstruasi dan kadang juga mempengaruhi kehamilan.

Acne Causes - #2: Extra sebum.
Penyebab No. 2 : kelebihan Sebum
When the sebaceous gland is stimulated by androgens, it produces extra sebum. In its journey up the follicle toward the surface, the sebum mixes with common skin bacteria and dead skin cells that have been shed from the lining of the follicle. While this process is normal, the presence of extra sebum in the follicle increases the chances of clogging — and can cause acne.
Ketika kelenjar sebaceous di stimulasi oleh hormone androgen, kelenjar tersebut menghasilkan lebih banyak sebum. Dalam perjalanannya, jaringan follicle terangkat ke permukaan, sebum bercampur dengan bakteri kulit yang umum dan sel kulit mati yang telah mengelupas dari jaringan follicle. Sementara proses ini berjalan normal, kehadiran dari sebum yang berlebihan di dalam jaringan follicle meningkatkan kesempatan penyumbatan dan menyebabkan jerawat.

Acne Causes - #3: Follicle fallout.
Penyebab No. 3
Normally, dead cells within the follicle shed gradually and are expelled onto the skin’s surface. But in patients with overactive sebaceous glands — and in nearly everyone during puberty — these cells are shed more rapidly. Mixed with a surplus of sebum, the dead skin cells form a plug in the follicle, preventing the skin from finishing its natural process of renewal.
Secara normal, sel mati di dalam follicle mengelupas berangsur-angsur dan keluar ke permukaan kulit. Tetapi pada pasien dengan kelenjar sebaceous yang over aktif dan pada masa awal puber setiap orang, sel ini mengelupas lebih cepat. Bercampur dengan kelebihan sebum, sel kulit mati membentuk plak di follicle, mencegah kulit menyelesaikan proses pembaharuan normal.
Acne Causes - #4: Bacteria.

Penyebab No 4. Bakteri
The bacterium Propionibacterium acnes, (P. acnes for short) is a regular resident of all skin types; it’s part of the skin’s natural sebum maintenance system. Once a follicle is plugged, however, P. acnes bacteria multiply rapidly, creating the chemical reaction we know as inflammation in the follicle and surrounding skin.
Bakteri jerawat Propionibacterium adalah penghuni tetap dari semua type kulit, bakteri tersebut merupakan bagian dari system pemeliharaan sebum kulit alami.Sekali follicle di sumbat, bakteri P. acnes berkembang dengan cepat, menciptakan reaksi kimia yang kita kenal sebagai inflamasi pada follicle dan sekeliling kulit.
Acne Causes - #5: Inflammation.

Penyebab No 5. Inflamasi.
When your body encounters unwanted bacteria, it sends an army of white blood cells to attack the intruders. This process is called chemotaxis; or, simply put, the inflammatory response. This is what causes pimples to become red, swollen and painful. The inflammatory response is different for everyone, but studies have shown that it is especially strong in adult women.
Ketika tubuh anda menjumpai kateri yang tidak diinginkan, tubuh mengirim sel senjata dari darah putih untuk menyerang bakteri penyusup-penyusup. Proses ini disebut chemotaxis, secara sederhana merespon terhadap inflamasi. Inilah yang menyebabkan bintik –bintik menjadi merah, membengkak dan sakit. Respon inflamasi berbeda untuk setipa orang, tetapi penelitian telah menunjukkan bahwa responnya sangat kuat pada wanita dewasa.
