So should the owners not the employees laid off, but the leadership of the company. The company also deviate from the Company Social Responsibility. Such companies clearly see the company as a tool of human resources and will not be successful in the long run.

Productivity comes from each individual, making each person as part of every step taken and allow each person to think, have a role in the success of a company. In doing this, the productivity that we can not gradually but doubled "said Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric.

CHANGING LIFE

What do you actually aspire to be viewed as a means to achieve certain feelings, certain emotions or certain conditions. So to achieve what you really aspire only to change your situation. God will not change the fate of a people unless people want to change it themselves.

Similarly God will not change the fate of mankind unless mankind is willing to change themselves. "Change your circumstances, can change your life, because your behavior is not the result of your ability, but the result of your condition" said Anthony Robbins. Changing conditions can be done by changing the physiology, change focus and change submodalitas.

You can change by simply changing the physiology of your breathing. In medical science that life is movement, the emotion created by the movement. How do you move your body will produce what you feel. Even small movements in your face, it can shift your feelings at that time. So one key to success is to create a life-changing movements that create confidence, strength, flexibility, personal strength and joy. Parents are really not a matter of age, but the problem is less movement. Lack of a true movement is death. Death is as powerful advice for those who live to do best.

Another way to change the focus of life. The focus is the meeting point of light through the lens. The focus is also the center of attention. Focusing on God's favors giving countless will make you more grateful. Focus to get a job to pay my school cause I was turned down at some companies or institutions continue to abstain desperately keep trying and praying before getting the job. Similarly, focus on where you are headed, not on what you fear. Insha Allah your goals will be achieved.

Changing submodalitas can also change your life. Submodalitas an image, sound, or other sensations that can be specifically modified to increase or reduce the intensity of the experience. The ability to change the feeling depends on the ability to change the submodalitas.

You must be in a condition determined to succeed. To succeed not just ability, but the condition is often a more important factor. People who have limited ability to find talent if given good conditions. Thus our goal in life is to just change the feeling.

Feeling sad that we change the feeling pleased with ourselves closer to God. Success is living in a way such that you feel a lot of pleasure and very little pain, but the real success if we can feel pleasure, both the world and the Hereafter.
