Motivasi Belajar Osman Affan

Ini adalah hari kedua (Selasa 26 Ogos) saya menjalankan program untuk para pegawai Jabatan Penerangan Brunei. Pagi ini sedikit istimewa bagi saya apabila saya terbaca kisah program yang saya jalankan di dua akhbar utama Brunei iaitu Akhbar The Brunei Times dan Akhbar Media Permata. Akhbar ini melaporkan tentang majlis pembukaan program ini semalam dan ada juga bercerita sedikit tentang temuramah yang dijalankan bersama saya. Terdapat 3 artikel yang membicarakan tentang kursus pembinaan kapastiti diri dan organisasi ini.

Ini adalah sedikit petikan daripada akhbar The Brunei Times.

Artikel 1 - Feeling grateful can lead to a better person, organisation

Bandar Seri Begawan - Gratitude is one of the most important elements in building an individual’s capacity and that or organisation. This was said by Hj Yussof Hj Ladi, the deputy director of the Information Department, during the motivational cum wealth management seminar by invited Malaysia speaker Osman Affan.

……. Discussions took place amongst the participants in regards to work challenges and how to overcome them and Osman Affan regaled the audience with success stories of inspirational figures such as Victor Sebriokoff, the founder of Mensa to open their eyes to endless possibilities of success.

This is the first time Osman Affan has been to Brunei and he hopes to come again. He will be holding the workshop for three days starting yesterday. The participants consist of officers and staff from the different departments of the Information Department and also four members of staff from Royal Brunei Catering.’ ~The Brunei Times~

Artikel 2 - Motivational speaker share tips for self improvement

The conference room at the Information Department where a seminar titled “Building the capacity of the individual and the organisation” took place, was abuzz with activity yesterday. From morning till noon, the participants of the seminar conducted exercises that were designed to motivate as well as open their minds to endless possibilities and opportunities for a brighter future

Osman Affan, the facilitator for the event, made the atmosphere more lively with his exercises and included religious examples that can be emulated to achieve a successful future.

…….. “You should never ever call a person stupid, because once you do it will demotivate them and it will stick with them for the rest of their lives,”said Osman.

……He spoke of leadership skills and mentioned that a leader does not just need to be clever and efficient. “A good leader needs to learn how to use their resources, which means that a good leader must be able to bring out the best in their groups by helping each individuals realise their potential so that they will be able to contribute their best ideas,” he said.

…… After the seminar, one participant from Royal Brunei Catering, who declined to be identified, said she found the seminar to be beneficial, and was eager to share the knowledge she gained with her collegues. “I feel inspired and will probably start my list now,” she said. ~The Brunei Times~

Ini adalah sedikit petikan daripada akhbar Media Permata.

Bandar Seri Begawan, Isnin - meningkatkan kapasiti diri dan kapasiti organisasi adalah satu keperluan dan syarat bagi memastikan sesebuah organisasi dapat berperanan dan menjalankan fungsinya dengan lebih berkesan dan berkualiti.

………seramai 58 peserta iaitu 54 pegawai dan kakitangan Jabatan Penerangan dari semua bahagian dan cawangan bersama empat peserta dari Royal Brunei Catering Sdn Bhd menyertai program tiga hari itu yang menampilkan penceramah undangan Osman Affan dari Malaysia.

…… Beliau (Tuan Haji Yussof Hj Ladi) menambah kata sifat syukur juga akan membentuk keyakinan diri yang teguh dan kukuh, mengelak diri daripada berbelanja di luar kemampuan, bersedia menerima kritikan dan sentiasa berterima kasih kepada majikan dan negara yang menyediakan peluang pekerjaan dan aktiviti bagi menyara kehidupan. ~Media Permata~

Selain daripada paparan dan pendedahan program melalui akhbar, hari ini juga amat istimewa kerana Tuan Pengarah Jabatan Penerangan sendiri iaitu Tuan Haji Mahrub A. Hj Murni turut serta duduk di dalam program bagi memberi sokongan dan mendengar isi kandungan program yang saya kongsikan bersama peserta.

Ini menunjukkan kesungguhan pihak Jabatan Penerangan untuk mengamalkan budaya menimba ilmu dikalangan pegawai dan kakitangannya. Saya juga sangat bertuah dapat mendengar banyak kisah dan pengalaman beliau sepanjang beliau mengetuai Jabatan ini dan juga pengalaman-pengalaman beliau yang lepas. Apa yang pasti, pengalaman dan pengetahuan ini semua tidak akan dapat saya perolehi dengan mudah di mana-mana.
