“Try honestly to make the other person feel important, and do it sincerely.”

The other person is important. You have little to gain if you choose to deny this. Your relationships with employees and coworkers are not subsidiary to the work you all come together to do; rather, strong relationships are essential to doing that work--especially if you want to do that work well.

People are much more than simply what their job description implies. Give each person's life sincere consideration, and notice a considerable change in your own. You are able to learn from others' experiences that which you could not from simply the experiences you've had. Begin to foster the possibilities by employing some of the following Human

Relations Principles:

*Become genuinely interested in other people

*Smile

*Be a good listener.

*Encourage others to talk about themselves.

*Talk in terms of the other person's interests

*Make the other person feel important -- and do it with sincerity

cahpter 8 : project rolling in

Early 2000, SKALI got a chance to deploy NeoFission for travel agency called Trifiniti Network owned by Tajuddin Ramli. SKALI got high profile project following year in form website OIC Exchange for OIC Networks. Malaysia Airport too wanted website that would allow the Flight Information Display (FID) to view from website using NeoFission. A really big break came 2002 when SKALI won contract RM3million to develop EPF website. Develop it proved to be a bigger challenge and also financing was required. If SKALI got a loan from bank, it will be put up RM800,000. But SKALI make a loan from Malaysian Debt Ventures (MDV) advisor by Japanese affair to help local technology projects gain access to project financing capital. One project that SKALI lost is MAS because their project need more component that SKALI didn't specialist. Another project that SKALI lost is Putrajaya website because 80% from that requirement project was out from core's SKALI competensies.

chapter 7 : finding a solution

In the end 1997, SKALI start to develop own portal which need CMS to easier manage data. At that time, SKALI have a problem about financial and make a decision use open source to develop system. In this way it save budget and give the software on the less prices better the competitor. As a chief programmer, Ivan Hoo create his own project CMS called Media Digital Alliance (MDA) and will be conduct with his friend Megat Husni Megat Hashim. SKALI will invest. Skali Digital Alliance was formed with SKALI holding 40% and MDA 60%. License fee for product would be split together and thus, when SKALI was listed, it will buy up the whole company. The earlier version CMS that created by Ivan and Megat was use to develop skali.com. Skali.com is a trial and marketing for CMS product that called NeoFission. In August 1999, SKALI entered the payment gateway business via joint venture with Camtech Asia IT&T. This joint venture called classic 'smart partnership'. Payment gateway allows secure online transactions. In the end 1999, the solutions business ready to marketed, and SKALI decided to leave the portal business. There are many competition from other locals portal players like Catcha.com were aggresively marketing themselves. After 3 years contract with AltaVista, SKALI did not renew. AltaVista had become passe by then. SKALI was one early adopters Open Source and the first portal try use PHP programming. SKALI also the first offering 'Linux-based hosting'. SKALI can save RM15million by using OS platform. Dr. Mahathir decided that Malaysia must start looking OS and instruct the MAMPU ready to use it. SKALI were invited to give several input about this issues. MAMPU proposed the creation of Open Source Competency Centre. DRB-Hicom interesting since they had launced Linux-based personal computer. The government decide to award the project consortium consisting DRB as lead partner and SKALI as junior partner.

2 weeks in class

Fuhhh........ php class was done. 2 weeks we fight with php. So incredible... brain always be function.Our face like coding php, but Mr Naim expert to tackle we all. Everyday our class always cheerful with humor and funny with friends and Mr Naim. Everytime, situation in the class never boring and quiet.... time to present is the scaring time. If present by group, it's ok but if present individual, it's so scares.... imagine talk individual in all audience (friends and lecturer).... very flutter.. Yesterday, we must submit the guestbook system and must present individual about the guestbook. so nightmare for me because the guestbook not yet done. How to present and how to show if not ready yet. But Mr Naim is a good lecturer, he said "everybody must present even not yet done. U may use power point slide show to show to your client. Imagine u present your system to your client. U must talk to client why you do guestbook like that. Who is your target user and the guestbook must be user friendly . U will be start present at 11 o'clock. Now you can can edit your guestbook and perepare your material to present."
11 0'clock.....
''okay.. time to present . Voluntere please! Who want to present first..." dup..dup..dup.... all friends flutter. suddenly Fikri volunteer to present first. Wow! he's a great boy! hehehe......I'm the second presenter. I volunteer to present because i confident with my guestbook. Even not yet done, i will try to explain to client. when i present, so many questions come to me and i can give the answer. In the all question, i like this question "why you choose black colour as yor banner?" Arghhhhh..... he make me die! I don't know to answer but i said black is great. hahaha....... but i got some new information from that question.. Mr Naim said don't try to choose black colour to any system or website, because black symbols to black metal. so, okay, i take note that as a reminder for me.
So, what the message that what will be i selected here is we must brave to face the challenges and ready to brave to accept other opinions.
