saran Pertama saya adalah :
- Jangan Pernah tertipu dengan cover film yang menggiurkan
cover bagus tidak menjamin film nya bagus...
mungkin selama ini anda pernah membeli atau menyewa film DVD/CD,
setelah anda menontonnya anda kecewa karna film yang di harapkan tidak sesuai dengan
cover DVD/CD ...
> > > yang harus anda perhatikan adalah :
- Production house (Rumah Produksi Film tersebut) biasanya tertera
di cover belakang kotak kaset...
- contoh PH (production yang bagus) seperti : FOX 20, WARNERBROSS, SONY PICTURES,
PIXAR, etc...
jika PH yang tertera pada kotak kaset tidak terkenal saya sarankan anda tidak membeli/menyewa film tersebut,kecuali anda berani ambil resiko film yang anda harapkan tidak sesuai dengan harapan anda...
trims...

Problem Solving 101 - Challenge Assumptions
Creative problem solving is about finding the solutions that might normally get missed. Why are they overlooked? Often it is because we are trapped into a certain approach by the assumptions we are making. When we challenge these "hidden" assumptions, we find that there are many creative solutions that never occurred to us before.
An example will help here, but first a question: Have you ever been in Los Angeles traffic? I have been in bumper-to-bumper traffic, trying to get to the airport at 10:30 at night. If you have had a similar experience, you can understand the following problem.
Joe had an audition for a movie role at eight the next morning in Hollywood, and he lived on the other side of the city. The news of the audition came late, and now - at one in the morning - it occurred to him that he had a problem. It could take as much as four hours to get through the morning traffic, plus he needed some time to shower and get ready. This meant getting up by a little after three that morning.
Two hours of sleep, followed by hours on the freeway. It seemed that this might affect his performance, and this would be his first important role if he got it. His mind started scrambling for solutions. Would taking the bus be faster than driving his van? But he didn't know the bus schedules, and it was too late to learn. He took out a map of the city and started looking for a better way. There might have been one, but it seemed dangerous to guess about routes he wasn't familiar with.
Then he remembered the creative problem solving techniques his friend Steve had told him about. He decided to quickly do the assumption-challenging exercise. He took out a pen and piece of paper and wrote: "I need to drive there," and "I have to take the freeways." Quickly challenging each of these, he had a few ideas, but nothing that seemed to help much.
Then, when he wrote down the assumption, "I need to leave early in the morning," and "I have to deal with heavy traffic." Upon asking if these two assumptions were true, the idea hit him. What if he didn't have to deal with heavy traffic? What if he didn't leave early in the morning, but now?
Quickly he showered, prepared himself, and drove to the audition, arriving by 2:30 a.m. because the traffic was always lighter in the middle of the night. He parked his van in a dark corner of the parking lot, crawled into the back, and set his watch-alarm for 7:40 a.m. He got five hours of sleep instead of two, and freshened up in the bathroom just before the audition.
The Problem Solving Technique
The essence of this technique, as you can see in the story, is to identify all the assumptions that are already being made, and ask if they have to be true. Making a list on paper is a good idea. Otherwise you'll tend to forget some of them. List them, and challenge them, looking for alternative approaches - that's about it.
Suppose you start by writing down a problem like "Generating more income with our business." The immediate and obvious assumption is in the formulation of the problem itself. Do you really want more income, or just more profits? After all, some companies have millions in income with no profits.
Having challenged the idea, you now can ask the obvious questions, like, "If we don't increase income, how would we increase profits?" This might lead to many ideas on ways to reduce your expenses, or to pay less in taxes. Now, lets say you were assuming that the business needed more income - or profits. You challenge this and realize that you actually want more for yourself. This might lead to the idea of borrowing money to buy out a partner, resulting in more of the existing profits going to you.
This kind of problem solving is so powerful and creative because it gets you "out of the box." The box is the usual way of looking at things. Challenge assumptions, though, and you get a look beyond the normal. You often get to a deeper or more fundamental problem, as when a man who thinks he needs a better apartment to rent challenges the idea and ends up investing in a new home. This is a problem solving technique for real life.
Be Creative and Innovative
This is very important to have a constant flow of new ideas. New ideas are the lifeblood of our business. So it is
important to encourage creativity and to be truly innovative. But
creativity and innovation are not the same. Creativity is all about
coming up with new ideas, whereas innovation involves putting new ideas
into action.
New ideas can be very difficult to find. When you do find them and put
them into action, they can provide powerful marketing tools and become a
license to print money.
Here are some ways to help generate new ideas:
Ask For Opinions
You could hire consultants or you could simply seek opinions from
someone who knows absolutely nothing about your business. We get so
involved in what we are doing, that often we can't see another way of
doing things. There are times when we need to step outside our own
environment because sometimes ideas used in one trade can be adapted to
another.
Encourage Staff Creativity
Encourage your team members to come up with new ideas and let them
suggest a better / smarter way to be innovative. You will need to be
open-minded and encourage their input.
Brain Storm
One of the best ways to tap new ideas is through brainstorming. This
could involve family, friends and other team members. The purpose of a
brainstorming session is to produce a bunch of ideas. Its quantity, not
quality. Refining the ideas come later.
Re-educate The Mind
There is an old saying, "you never stop learning" and its true. If you
are willing to make a personal commitment to perpetual re-education,
you'll reap the rewards.
Read And Subscribe
There is a wealth of information on the Internet and most of it is
free. Search other areas of business rather than just your own as you
might be able to adapt a totally unrelated idea.
You can often find ideas in the most unlikely places. Business, fashion
and trade magazines are all worth a dekko. These days its easy to
subscribe to any number of national and international newspapers,
magazines or newsletters.
Travel Opens Your Eyes
Visit different places or even unrelated businesses areas. You'll be
surprised at how freely many of them share their knowledge, after all
you are not a threat to them.
"The main purpose of a business is to bring in customers; and there are
really only two ways to do it... through Creativity and Innovation
Thanks and please let our creative juices flow. Feel free to discuss
your ideas with your immediate supervisors or reach me any time at derekgupta@gmail.com but do
not let them go waste.

PC Repair Tips: Know What You Can Perform
No matter how sturdy or reliable your PC may seem now, it will need some sort of repair or tune-up sooner or later. The PC is the modern man's version of the working horse and even with careful maintenance, it will show some signs of wear and tear after some time. If you're reluctant about paying a couple of a hundred bucks to have someone take a look at your computer, you could do a DIY on your PC. Here are a few repair tips for the uninitiated:
Try to determine what's wrong.
By now, you should already be familiar with how and why your computer unit works. You know what it looks and sounds like when it's working properly and can probably tell if there are kinks and warning signs that some things are not quite right.
First, try to identify what exactly ails your PC, then look for the simplest explanation first. Then gradually work yourself towards more complicated possibilities. If the PC won't turn on, for example, try to see if it's connected to an electrical outlet or if the batteries are sufficiently charged. Check your monitor if it's working properly. There may be nothing wrong with your CPU at all and your problem is just simply a monitor that has conked out.
If you're using a surge protector or a UPS, see if these are plugged on as well. Check the outlet or power source. In some cases, the fault may lie here and not on your PC. Remember: just because something doesn’t seem right does not automatically mean that your PC requires repair. Sometimes, you can all trace it down to the power issue.
Know what you can perform.
Most PC repairs involve parts replacement. This is something that most of those uninitiated can perform efficiently. Parts such as the motherboard, memory, video cards and internal modem are relatively easy to uninstall and replace. Just be sure you understand what happens during and after replacement, though. If you replace the processor, for example, you could lose data you already have if you're not careful with the hardware.
When it comes to software replacement or upgrade, there are repair steps you can do on your own. You could safely do stuff such as cleaning your registry, installing an update or just simply performing a simple antivirus check or removal. However, if you're faced with what you think are more complicated PC repair steps and are in doubt, stop. If you're uninitiated in this kind of work, you could destroy more data or hardware unnecessarily. Better safe than sorry.
Too rocket science for you?
Some PC errors, such as software or worse, hardware-related ones, need the expert hands of a professional to fix. If this is the case, call the real experts. You'll be glad you did.
