LEARNING FROM STEVEN SPIELBERG

Anthony Robbins in his book Unlimited Power tells the story of Steven Spielberg. At the age of 36 years of Steven Spielberg, has become the most successful filmmakers in history. He was responsible for four of the ten films that reap the biggest revenue of all time, including ET, The Extra Terrestrial, the film scooped the highest income forever. Why Steven Spielberg can achieve such success at a young age?. This is an extraordinary story and we can learn from it.

Since the age of twelve or thirteen years, Steven Spielberg already knew that he wanted to be a film director. His life changed when he was a tour of the Universal studio one afternoon when 17-year-old. Tour was not until the sound stage, where all the action carried out, the Steven Spielberg knows the outcome, take action. He slipped to watch the actual filming. He finally met with the editorial department head Universal, who spoke with him for an hour and expressed his interest in Spielberg films.

For most people, that's where the story will end. But Steven Spielberg bukanlan like most people. He has personal power. He knew what he wanted. He learned from the first visit, so he changed his approach. The next day, he was wearing a suit, briefcase he had brought his father, which only contains a sandwich and two chocolate bars, and returned to Universal studios as if he worked there. He walked confidently past the guard gate that day. He found a trailer that is not used and used some plastic letters, he pasted Steven Spielberg, director at the door. Then he spent his summer met with the directors, writers and editors, lingering in the world she wanted, mbelajar of every conversation, observing and developing an increasingly accurate sensory large about what is effective in making the film.

Finally at the age of 20 years, after being worn there, Steven Spielberg showed the movie has been made simple to Universal, and he offered 7-year contract to direct a TV series. He has made the dream come true.

Steps to be Steven Spielberg to achieve his dream was that he wanted mendefisikan, take actions that create the most likely to produce what they want, take advantage of opportunities that could even be used to fail and the failure to learn from experience, to develop the flexibility to change the behavior by continuing to adapt to it get what he wants. This step is accompanied by prayer would be very unusual.

ANALYSIS TOOLS TO FALL AND STATE AWAKENING

Analysis tool that is still powerful enough to find a country downs presented by Ibn Khaldun in 808 H. (1406) in his Prolegomena. Ibn Khaldun's contribution on economic principles with cross-disciplinary dynamic models (Chapra, 2000). The entire model can be summarized by Ibn Khaldun in his advice to the king as follows: (1) The power of sovereignty (al-mulk) can not be maintained except by implementing sharia, (2) Sharia can not be implemented except by a sovereign (al-mulk). (3). Sovereignty will not gain power unless supported by human resources (ar-rijal). (4). Human resources can not be maintained unless the property (al-mal). (5). Property can not be obtained except by the construction of (al - Imarah). (6). Development can not be achieved except by justice (al-adl). (7) Justice is the criterion (al-mizan) which God used to evaluate human and (8) Sovereignty contain loads of responsibility to uphold justice.

This advice, in Ibn Khaldun's own words, consists of eight principles (hikamiyyah sentence) of political wisdom, each connected to another to gain power, in a cycle path where the beginning and end can not be distinguished. This reflects the dynamic character and cross-discipline of Ibn Khaldun's analysis. He is cross-disciplinary as connecting all the political and socioeconomic variables are important, such as the Sharia (S), the political authority or wazi (G), human or rijal (N), or the mall property (W), development or Imarah (g) and justice or al-adl (j), in an interdependent rotation cycle, influencing each other and in turn will be influenced by others as well. Considering the operation of this cycle occurs in a chain reaction in a long perioede dynamism dimension included in the overall analysis and helps explain how political factors, moral, social, economic and continuously interact and influence the progress and setbacks or fall and built a civilization . In a long-term analysis such as this, do not apply ceteris paribus clause because no variables are constant (fixed). One of the variables to act as a trigger mechanism and the others can react in the same way, the whole in one sector will not permeate to other variables and this led to the possibility that the sectors diperbaikinya damaged along with travel time or the decline of civilization will occur slowly . Will occur sectors others reacted in the same direction with the trigger mechanism, the whole will gain momentum through a chain reaction of mutual berhubunghan so difficult to identify because of the effect. This causal cycle is called the Cycle of Justice which can be used as an analytic tool powerful enough.

Losses-Losses will produce people who will take revenge, blind to the fact that the murder was suicide. Revenge is a double-edged sword, able to kill the enemy at once can kill themselves.

Tenderness, kepemaafan, empathy with others, communicate with active listening, working hard and always bersrah to God is a noble character.

Empathic communication is communication with active listening, namely communication by responding to what was said, intended and the other person's feelings. Communication is the other person solve the problem alone. Empathic communication is a central circle of successful leadership. Once Ali ibn Abi Talib (in-law and nephew of the Prophet) asked the Messenger of his love to her and Fatimah (the Prophet's daughter). "O Messenger of Allah. why hast thou more than I love Fatima? "asked Ali. Prophet smiled and then answered "Yes Ali, I love Fatima's more than you, but I love you more than Fatima".
