De Bono's Thought : Crazitivity

Image
'Crazitivity' is a new word that needed inventing. Crazitivity is that sort of creativity that is solely driven by desire to be different. Creativity is always new and different so the belief is that something new and different is necessarily creative. So anything different, bizarre and off-the-wall claims to be creative. I have no objection whatever to this belief and this style of 'creativity'. My only concern is that people should equate crazitivity with creativity. This would be a pity and would be a great disservice to serious creativity. Creativity can be low key, simple, unostentatious and very logical - in hindsight. Creativity does not have to announce: "Look at me. Aren't I creative!!". In the advertising world something that is crazy may catch attention and may therefore have a direct value. This is seldom the case elsewhere. Since much of the impetus for deliberate creative effort came from the advertising industry (brainstorming) there is this

Siapakah Pengganas Sebenar?

Jenin ...aftermath Tanggal 10 November 2008 lebih kurang jam 12.15 tengah malam (waktu Jawa Barat) hukuman tembak telah dilaksanakan terhadap tiga orang syuhada' (Insyaallah) , As-Syahid Imam Samudera, As-Syahid Ali Ghuffron dan As-Syahid Amrozi Nurhasyim setelah disabitkan kesalahan dalam peristiwa pengeboman 'disco pub' di Bali, Indonesia. Tregedi pengeboman di Bali, menyaksikan dunia mengutuk kejadian tersebut , lalu mengaitkan dengan imej islamic terrorist yang berjaya dicanangkan oleh media barat yang didalangi oleh Yahudi dan Nasrani laknatullah. Sesungguhnya siapa kita untuk melabelkan mereka sebagai pengganas sedangkan dunia mengetahui siapakah pengganas yang sebenarnya. Pengganas yang telah meragut puluhan ribu nyawa yang tak berdosa di Palestine, di Bosnia Herzegovina ,di Selatan Thai, di Kashmir.... Disebalik pengeboman di Bali, ramai diantara kita tidak mengetahui tentang kebiadapan IDF (Israel Defence Forces) a.k.a Rejim Yahudi yang telah melakukan pembunuhan

Hari Ahad lepas, 16 November 2008 merupakan hari bersejarah bagiku kerana ianya adalah merupakan pengalaman pertama menonton '"live concert". Superstarnya adalah anakandaku yang sulung si Izmeer yang baru mencecah umur 4 tahun !! Anakandaku telah terpilih untuk membuat persembahan nasyid sempena Majlis Ihtifal ( Graduation Day) untuk pelajar2 6 tahun di tadika Annur. Setelah beberapa minggu telingaku asyik menahan perit mendengar promo nasyid kumpulan Rabbani "Pergi Tak Kembali" yang dinyanyikan oleh anakkandaku, pagi dan petang siang dan malam...didalam kereta dan diluar kereta...maka hari yang ditunggu-tunggu tiba jua! Seawal jam 6.45 pagi , mama Izmeer telah mengejutkan anakanda sulungnya yang masih mamai kenapa hari Ahad pun kena pegi sekolah. " Amer lupa ke, hari ni kan cikgu suruh pegi school...kan amer nak nyanyi, papa nak tengok , mama nak tengok , adik nak tengok..tisya ngan kak eyin pun datang!" kata Mama. " Ye ke? .." jawab Amer

An Old Sufi Story

A man entered a village and went to see Sufi Master. The visitor said " I'm deciding whether i should move here or not- and i'm wondering what people here are like?" The Sufi Master said "Tell me, what kind of people live where you come from". The visitor said " They were robbers, cheats and liars". The Sufi Master said " You know, those are exactly the same kind of people who live here". The visitor left and never come back. Another visitor entered the village and asked the same question of the Sufi Master. "I'm thinking of moving here- can you tell me what the people are like?" Again the Sufi Master asked, "Tell me, what kind of people live where you come from?" The visitor said " Oh, they are the kindest, gentlest, most compassionate, loving people. I shall miss them terribly". The Sufi Master said " Those are exectly the kinds of people who live here too.." Why the Sufi Master asked that kin

Lucky me...

I had a strange experience today. No one is around to accompany me for a lunch, so I decided to walk alone to the mamak restaurant not too far from my office. A pleasant curry dish with full of spices! Alhamdulillah…on my way back to office, as i was walking alone along the street , suddenly one Proton Waja stopped besides me, one guy came out and wish me salam. From the look and his accent , I could guess that he must be an Arab. He took out from his wallet RM100 note and asked me wether I have the change notes. At first, he said he wanted RM50 notes. I took out two RM50 notes and give it to him for the exchange. But to my surprise, he insisted to look up to my wallet and grabbed all monies in my wallet….” Let me see” he said. ”wait!! no..!!” I said…” Don’t worry…we’re muslim..you’re too worried..” He offered me his wallet. A fat wallet full with RM100!!. What’s wrong with this idiot!!” I thought. ( or am I the idiot?) I stepped back from him and took out all the monies from the walle

Pathway to Wellness

"Our brain controls so much of how we heal. Some say it’s the work of the vagus nerve, which runs from your brain to your abdomen, letting your brain communicate with the rest of your body. And evidence is mounting that the more you practise mind-body techniques, the more powerful they become. Some benefits: Pain relief without drugs . Biofeedback, tai chi, yoga, hypnosis and progressive muscle relaxation may help ease chronic pain, according to a review of studies, mostly on the over-50s. Study author Dr Natalia Morone says these activities may simply distract you from pain, release muscle tension or help you cope with the anger and depression that often accompany chronic aches. Flu-fighting boost . The Chinese exercises qi gong and tai chi seem to boost the effectiveness of the flu vaccine in older people. Healing from afar? No-one knows for sure how the mind-body connection might make this leap, but praying for someone who is sick seems to work, says a recent review of 17 stud

Health Info 1

Dear netters Merujuk kepada perkara di atas, berdasarkan kajian kami, pucuk gajus (Anacardium occidentale L.) amat bermanfaat untuk mengawal gula darah pada haiwan eksperimen teraruh diabetis dan berpotensi untuk dijadikan kaedah terapeutik mengawal penyakit kencing manis. Bagaimanapun kesan baik daun gajus ini hanyalah pada daun muda (pucuk) sahaja, manakala daun tua (daun matang) tidak memberi kesan ketara malah boleh bersifat toksik kerana getahnya. Manakala akar patawali (Tinospora crispa) pula berupaya untuk mengurangkan tekanan darah tinggi, justeru berguna untuk mereka2 yang mengalami penyakit darah tinggi. Selain itu, akar patawali juga mempunyai ciri merendah lemak (LDL) dan meningkatkan HDL pada haiwan eksperimen teraruh hiperkolesterolemia . Asam gelugur (Garcinia atroviridis <--- var Malaysia, G. atau G. cambogia <---- var. India) pula digunakan dalam mengawal berat badan kerana kandungan asid hidrositrik yang kaya dalam isi buah ini. Malah, asid ini telahpun dipencil
