No, he’s not my uncle. Maybe somebody’s. Anyway he is not that important actually, but his idea is. Click For more info on Pareto’s Principle.
Bear with me for a while, according to him – 80% of all output comes from 20% of input.A few examples will describe the principle better. So what Uncle Pareto said is that –
- In 100 workers, only 20 workers are the good ones. If the other 80 didn’t come to work, 80% of the work for the day will still be finished regardless.
- In 100 tasks given by the boss everyday, only 20 is important and if you can finish these, basically 80% of your work for the day is done. The boss will be happy already. Keep it up and you will start giving task being the boss yourself.
- In business, 80% of your profit comes from 20% of your client. If you fail to recognize these client and get business from them, your company is already losing money.
- In 100 blogs, only 20 will benefit you. (*wink)
To sum up, in what ever things in life (friends, work, business), before you do anything, identify the key 20% and concentrate on these first. basically you have already achieve 80% of what you want. If not –
- The workers may not be appreciated rightfully and leave the company to work in another. Company’s loss.
- You may be so busy doing the small daily routine task, high profile projects are given to somebody else. He will get promoted someday and you are still doing the same small daily routine task.
- Being greedy to get business from all available client, you accidentally neglected the important ones. Feeling ignored they awarded their RM1 Million tender to other contractor instead of to you.
- You spend your day giving feedback on blog about dying ants, color of houses etc, some blog which may actually benefit you were left dry. The author, thinking nobody is interested, then decided to give it up. (*wink)
We just can’t have everything now, don’t you think so?

Looking down at that spare tyre of ours, we may be immediately regretting ever looking down. Then we start gathering out inner strength and announce the 1 month program to get back in shape. YES!!! MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!
Wait a minute! Before all that you need to know these facts. Then you might not be just wasting your time.
1) Minimum time is 30 minutes. If you want to jog, do it at least 30 minutes and above. This is because your body start burning fat ONLY after the first 20 minutes. If you stop before, you were only just strengthening your muscle and no weight loss what so ever. (of course.. it depends on the intensity of your jogging)
2) The Illusion period. The first two weeks of your committed exercise program, you will see a decrease of a few kg immediately. Don’t be too happy just yet, that is just water loss from your body. Keep drinking water to flush all the toxin out.
3) The REAL weight loss. After the two weeks, your body will adapt and any loss is most probably due to your fat loss. Congratulation! keep yourself motivated for there is Fact no. 4 🙂
4) The No Effect Period. Around week 3 and 4, you will see that there is no weight loss at all, even some weight gain. You follow your routine like crazy, even do extra exercise with higher intensity but still you are gaining more weight each day. Don’t be alarmed. For your information, that is your muscle developing. Muscle is always heavier than fat. And thus the weight gain. Just follow your routine and you will see the result in another 2 to 3 weeks.
5) Our body is SUPER Adaptive. Remember that. You started jogging at maybe 3km for 30 minutes. You will returned home feeling like dying (Ehem my experience ya).
In no time, you will feel the work getting easier each day. This is because of your body is already adapted. Increase intensity with more speed and distance. Rule of thumb, if you exercised and you don’t feel anything. Something’s wrong
5 facts for now, oh ya I have to put the Disclaimer – Results will vary with individuals.

Have you ever felt that you are a working zombie. Working for a long time already and you can predict you will be doing the same thing in 10 years. I read in a book about how to give yourself some motivation and direction to working. First I apologize for not being able to give the reference to that book, read it long time ago.
It basically says that there are three levels for monthly-paid workers.
- level 1 – Salary below 5K
- level 2 – Salary between 5k to 10k
- level 3 – salary above 10 k
1) First identify which level you are in
2) For example you are in level 1, search through the newspaper for any job paying at level 2. you can search via other ways too such as internet, chat with clients etc.
3) Once you found the job, do research on the job requirement. for example the job may require 5 years experience in project management, or must posses steam certification or an MBA
4) The most important thing is that now that you know how to get there, plan your way. If that level of job requires you to have 5 years experience in project management, volunteer yourself for the experience. If they need you to have steam certificate or an MBA. invest on that. Dedicate all your energy now to achieve that goal.
Once there, you know what to do.
in short, if you want things to change… change it. However you can always choose not to do anything and get the increment slowly year by year. It’s totally your choice. This is more like an advice to me than to you. So help me Allah. What do you guys think?
