You all know what I am referring to and I'm sure you are as fed up as I am with all the parsing of common words to misrepresent something, someone or both. The parsing of commonly held words is stupid and will not be tolerated by the masses any longer! If an advertiser wants us to dance a jig or jump through hoops to receive their low cost, almost worth nothing, free or freebie item all they must do is simply say so. Rather than parsing of words to mean almost free or free if you are new to our service, or free for the taking but it will exclude you from future almost free or freebies items, just simply say so. Most adults are capable of understanding that you are a business because you want to feed your family. As adults most people don't want you as a business to lose any money. As adults most people would like to know that you are making a fair profit and will be in business for years to come. As adults we simply wish for you to not parse words in an attempt to take advantage of anyone! We are giving you businesses, big and small, fair warning that we consumers are fed up with the parsing of words to take advantage of consumers and we are not going to let it continue any longer. We promise to embarrass you and your company if you continue in the future of parsing words to not mean what everyone takes them to mean. Just so that everyone is on the same page, we have listed what we understand these certain common words to mean.
1) The word free or freebie means simply that - zero exchange of money, postage stamps or anything of value.
2) The word free and freebie mean no exchange of money now or latter and also mean the same for new as well as existing customers.
3) The word free and freebie do not mean that we will be branded to lose out of or to be excluded of any special price or deal at a later time if we take advantage of your free product or service now.
4) The word free and freebie simply mean free, zero cost and zero exchange of valuable information such as our email address or the email addresses of six of our friends. This would also include any personal telephone numbers. Time of year or season does not change these commonly held meanings.
5) The word free or freebie means that we don't have to do anything or offer anything in exchange for your free or freebie product or service.
Now that we have stated clearly what these commonly held words mean to us at large; we expect you businesses, big and small, to understand that we consumers will penalize any company by broadcasting it over the internet to everyone that said company has tried to parse these commonly held words. We believe there is no reason to parse these commonly held words other than to take advantage of another. Therefore we will broadcast across the internet via e-mail, via blogs, via bulletin boards via forums via any way possible now and in the future any company and/or individual that plays games with or parses the meaning of these commonly held words. For the record the meanings of these words are the same whether you are giving us a great or not so great of free or freebie item. We also wish to state for the record that we consumers understand that you businesses must make profit in order to stay in business. We are not opposed to the fact that not every free or freebie item will be of great worth. We however expect the meaning of these commonly held words to remain just the same, regardless of worth of free or freebie item. May this article serve as fair warning to all businesses, big and small, that we consumers are fed up with all the parsing of commonly held words to take advantage of any consumer!
As a consumer, if you agree to this writing then it is expected of you to hold all businesses to these rules and if some business does not, you have the responsibility to make said infringement known to the masses via one or more methods listed above. Every concerned consumer should print out this little article and keep it handy and ready to post or serve such business and/or individual that breaks these rules. This article is free, zero cost, will not exclude you from future freebies, and will not require you to post personal information or the personal information of six friends. You need not do anything to print it out and post it. This article is completely free of charge regardless of time of day or season of year. This article is simply, FREE!

I Just Want a Good Deal! OK! Now What Do I Do? - Part 2
Six Ways to Use the Internet to Improve Your New & Used-Vehicle Shopping Experience to Buy or Lease;
With so much content and information available online today, the Internet is making it easier than ever for prospective buyers to shop for a used vehicle. The following tips may be helpful for shoppers in the market for a used vehicle and may help improve satisfaction with their used-vehicle purchase experience.
1. Visit a variety of Web sites. With an abundance of information available online for used-vehicle shoppers, it’s helpful to know where to find what you’re looking for. Independent sites are good places to find intuitive search tools that match shoppers with the right vehicle for their needs, as well as pricing and reliability information. Dealerships often maintain sites that provide their current vehicle inventories, while many manufacturer sites allow shoppers to search for certified pre-owned vehicles in their area.
2. Search for comparative used-vehicle pricing. The development of Web sites such as Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com), AutoTrader.com and Edmunds.com have made searching for used-vehicle pricing information easy. Using these sites to compare prices will give shoppers a general idea of their desired vehicle’s price range without leaving the comfort of their homes.
3. Consider online classified ads. Online classified ads sites such as AutoTrader.com and cars.com are a competitive and convenient tool to give shoppers more options when considering a used vehicle. These sites allow sellers to post used-vehicle listings along with several pictures that can be viewed easily by shoppers, based on their preferred zip code.
4. Purchase or ask for a Vehicle History Report. Vehicle History Reports (VHRs) are an inexpensive way to check the track record of any used vehicle. According to the 2006 Used Autoshopper.com Study, nearly one-third (32%) of automotive Internet users receive a free vehicle history report from the seller. If your dealer or private seller does not offer a VHR free of charge, one can be purchased online through sites such as CARFAX.com and AutoCheck.com.
5. Search for financing and compare interest rates online. When shoppers have financing arranged ahead of time, it often gives them greater negotiating power when dealing with the seller. On most sites, applying for financing is fairly easy, and the interest rates offered by many online lenders are comparable to or possibly better than those offered by dealers.

I Just Want a Good Deal! OK! Now What Do I Do? - Part 1
There are many factors at play to determine the best time to purchase a vehicle, whether new or used. These factors involve local, national, and local/national events that occur on a regular and irregular basis. Having said that, one would have to master the knowledge of economic and business trade cycles, and then attempt to apply that information to a specific vehicle within your specific purchase arena.
The real way to purchase a vehicle (and you can do this 365 days and nights a year) is by doing your homework and being prepared to buy rather than being sold. Is that possible? Absolutely, and by investing a few hours of time you will save hundreds, even thousands of dollars, and you will be empowered and you will know what you are doing.
There exists on the internet every tool you will ever need to make an intelligent vehicle purchase. There are sources that combine all the information that you will ever need in a simple and straightforward format that is easy to follow and simple to navigate. www.thebestdealofyourlife.com is as good as it gets, and supplies you with all the needed site information with links, simple fill in the blank forms, and a complete guide to take you through the buying/selling/trading process step by step.
The key to success in anything we do is knowledge, preparation, and application. Want to be a surgeon? K. P. A. Want to be a lawyer? K. P. A. Want to be an accountant? K. P. A. Regardless of what we do, buy a car, build a house, buy a lawnmower or bake a cake, what is required? Knowledge, preparation, and application.
I continually answer questions on a regular basis about making a car deal. How? What to do? When? Where do I get the information I need? What is this? What is that? And after having assisted thousands of customers in their purchases it is easy to understand why those questions are asked.
The car people purposely keep their customers in the dark as to the information they need to make a “good” deal, and always have. Now that the information is readily available (although there are very few places where one can go and get most of what they need, and only a handful where they can get everything they need) it is still difficult for the buyer to put it all together in an understandable and easily workable format that actually works in their favor.
So, what does one need to get a “good deal”, and what does it take to get a “great deal”? Knowledge. Preparation. Application. And I would add the willingness of one to actually invest the effort to get a good deal which requires doing their homework BEFORE visiting the car store. Everything is there, the difficult part is finding the information in one place, and information that actually works, is consumer friendly and simple to apply.

Don't Waste Your Time - Use it Wisely
Do you waste time? Are you lazy and indolent or are you continuously on the go, using every minute to the maximum? If you are in the first category, there are a lot of very obvious things you can do to improve, but in this article I want to concentrate on those of us who are already using our time constructively and examine how you can squeeze even more from your day. You may think that your life is so full that this is impossible, but I recently ran an inventory of how I used my time and realised that there was still some room for improvement. Here's what I discovered.
Timespace #1 – For years I avoided doing any kind of exercise. It was pretty easy for me, I had been skinny all my life and even though I wasn't too fit, I was still the right weight. As I got older, though I realised that I had to take my body a bit more seriously. Since then I have become a moderate, regular exerciser; I now go running for half an hour every second day and visit the gym three times a week. No problem there; I get satisfaction from using my time well and I appreciate the results. However, I calculated that I am spending about five hours per week doing great things for my body, but nothing for my mind. So now when I'm pounding the streets or straining at the weights, I use the opportunity to listen to self development programs on my I-Pod, to concentrate on goal visualization, to practice affirmations or just focus on being grateful for all the good things in my life. And there's a bonus too; because the blood is racing through my veins, my brain is more alert and better prepared to learn and grow.
Timespace #2 – I drive a lot. My business requires a good deal of travel and most of it is done in the car. I used to listen to music on the radio or go into an almost trance-like ‘auto pilot' mode, usually to escape the tedium of long distance driving. Now, though, I put a self development CD in the player, or a language course, or again, I use the time to practice visualizations and affirmations. The privacy of your little tin box allows you to shout, sing, laugh or mumble. Who cares? You are on your own. It's your space.
Timespace #3 – Finally, this one is not so much about finding extra time as making better use of the time I thought I was using wisely. My personal time audit showed me that I was wasting a whole hour, sometimes more, at the beginning of the day catching up on the overnight e-mail load and then planning what I was going to do for the rest of the day. I prided myself on being an efficient time warrior, but I now realise, that I was missing one of the biggest mistakes of all. So how did I fix that? Simple. I changed two things. Firstly, I now do my planning, the night before, by taking ten minutes, near to the end of the evening and writing down everything I want to achieve the next day. The bonus here is that overnight, my mind works on the issues even while I sleep, so by the time I get started next day, I am far better prepared. Secondly, I leave my e-mail inbox until lunchtime. I spend the morning getting through the goals I assigned the night before and then just before I take a break for lunch, I race through my inbox. That way, I find I already feel good about what I've done so far in the day, my mind is much more focused and I don't get distracted.
So no matter how efficient you think you are, take a look again at your day and I'll bet you can find some extra layers of time, you never knew you had. Good hunting.

Cerita untuk direnungkan.
Apabila ulama DiCabar
Pada suatu ketika, kota Baghdad didatangi oleh seorang pendakyah Yahudi bernama Dahri. Kedatangannya mencetuskan kegemparan dikalangan umat Islam. Dahri cuba merosakkan pegangan umat Islam dengan membahaskan soal-soal yang berhubung kait denngan keTuhanan. Dicabarnya para ulama Baghdad untuk berdebat
dengannya. Setiap kali cabarannya disahut, hujah-hujah Dahri tidak pernah dapat dipatahkan
sehingga akhirnya tidak ada lagi ulama Baghdad dan ulama-ulama disekitarnya yang sanggup berhadapan dengannya.
Dari kejadiannya ini, tahulah Khalifah bahawa Baghdad sudah ketiadaan ulama yang
benar-benar berwibawa dan tinggi ketaqwaannya. Lalu Khalifah memerintahkan beberapa orang menteri meninjau ke daerah lain, kalau-kalau masih ada ulama yang
boleh dibawa berdepan dengan Dahri. Akhirnnya wakil Khalifah menemui Imam Hammad bin Abi Sulaimann Al-Asyari, seorang ulama yang tidak kurang juga ketokohannya
Khalifah memerintahkan supaya hari perdebatan antara Imam Hammad dan Dahri disegerakan. Dan majlis bersejarah itu mesti dibuat di Masjid Jamek di tengah-tengah kota Baghdad. Sehari sebelum pertemuan itu lagi, Masjid Jamek telah penuh sesak dengan orang
ramai. Masing-masing menaruh harapan agar Imam Hammad berjaya menumbangkan Dahri kerana beliaulah satu-satunya ulama yang diharapkan.
"Subhanallah. ... Subhanallah .... Walauhaulawalaquwwata illa billahi aliyyil azim....!" Lidah Imam Hammad terus melafazkan kalimat mensucikan segala tohmahan yang tidak layak bagi Zat yang Maha Agung. Dia beristighfar terus. Rasanya dah tidak sanggup telinganya menadah bermacam tohmahan yang dilemparkan oleh Dahri yang biadab dan matarialis itu.
Mempertikaikan KeEsaan Allah SWT buukanlah perkara kecil dalam Islam. Ini kes berat! Hatinya cukup pedih. Roh ketauhidannya bergelora. Mahu rasanya dipenngal leher si Dahri yang angkuh itu di depan ribuan mata yang turut hadir dalam majlis itu.
Keesokannya, pagi-pagi lagi muncul Abu Hanifah, murid Imam Hammad yang paling rapat dan yang paling disayanginya. Namanya yang sebenar ialah Nu' man,
yang ketika itu usiannya masih lagi remaja. Bila ternampak keadaan gurunya itu, Abu Hanifah pun bertanya untuk mendapat kepastian.
Lalu Imam Hammad menceritakan keadaan yang sebenar. Dalam pada itu teringat Hammad akan mimpinya malam tadi, lalu dikhabarkan kepada muridnya itu. Abu Hanifah mendengarnya dengan penuh khusyuk.
"...Aku bermimpi ada sebuah dusun yang amat luas lagi indah. Di sana kulihat ada sepohon kayu yand rendanng dan lebat buahnya.Tiba- tiba, di situ keluar seekor
khinzir dari hujung sebuah kampung. Lalu habis dimakannya buah-buahan yang masak ranum dari pokok itu. Hingga ke daun dan dahan-dahannya habis ditutuh.Yang tinggal cuma batangnya sahaja.Dalam pada itu juga keluar seekor harimau daripada umbi pohon
rendang tadi lalu menerkam khinzir itu dengan gigi dan kukunya yang tajam.Lalu,khinzir tadi mati disitu juga."
Hammad termenung seketika. Kekalutan pemikiran yang telah dicetuskan Dahri, yang boleh menggugat pegangan aqidah umat ini,tidak boleh di biarkan. Mesti dihapuskan segera. Wajahnya yang tenang bagai air sungai yang mengalir jernih, masih nampak bercahaya
walau di saat sebegitu genting.
Satu kelebihan Abu Hanifah ialah beliau juga dikurniakan Allah ilmu menta'bir mimpi, sebagai mana nabi Allah Yusuf. Pada pengamatannya juga, mimpi tersebut akan memberi petanda baik bahawa si Dahri pasti akan menerima padahnya nanti. Dan setelah mendapat keizinan gurunya, dia pun cuba mentafsirnya:
" Apa yang tuan lihat dalam mimpi tuan sebagai dusun yang luas lagi indah itu adalah tamsilan kepada agama Islam kita. Pokok yang berbuah lebat itu adalah tamsilan kepada sekalian ulamannya. Manakala sepohon kayu yang masih tinggal itu adalah tuan sendiri. Dan
khinzir yang tiba-tiba muncul dan merosakkan pohon tersebut ialah si Dahri. Manakala harimau yang keluar lalu membunuh khinzir tadi... adalah saya..." jelas Abu Hanifah.
Beliau juga memohon izin untuk membantu gurunya berdepan dengan si Dahri. Betapa gembiranya hati ImanHammad bila tercetusnya hasrat itu dari hati muridnya
sendiri. Maka berngkatlah ilmuan budak itu bersama gurunya untuk pergi ke Masjid Jamek di mana majlis dialog akan diadakan yang dihadiri oleh orang ramaidan Khalifah. Seperti biasanya, sebelum menyampaikan dakyahnya, Dahri akan mencabar dan memperleceh-lecehkan ulama dengan bersuara lantang dari atas pentas.
"Hai Dahri, apalah yang digusarkan. Orang yang mengetahuinya pasti menjawabnya! " Tiba-tiba suara Abu Hanifah memeranjatkan Dahri dan menyentakkan kaum Muslimin yang hadir. Dahri sendiri terkejut. Matanya memandang tajam mata Abu Hanifah.
" Siapa kamu hai anak muda? Berani sungguh menyahut cabaranku... Sedangkan ulama yang hebat-hebat, yang berserban dan berjubah labuh telah ku kalahkan...! "Lantang suara Dahri membidas Abu Hanifah.
" Wahai Dahri," balas Abu Hanifah," sesungguhnya Allah tidak mengurniakan kemuliaaan dan kebesaran itu pada serban atau jubah yang labuh. Tetapi Allahmengurniakan kemuliaan kepada orang-orang yang berilmu dan bertaqwa." Abu Hanifah lalu membacakan sebuah
firman Allah SWT yang bermaksud: " Allah telah meninggikan darjat orang beriman dan berimul antara kamu beberapa darjat." (Al-Mujadalah : 11 )
.
Geram rasanya hati Dahri mendengarnya kepetahan lidah pemuda ini berhujah. Maka berlangsunglah majlis dialog.perdebatan antara Abu Hanifah dengan tokoh Ad-
dahriayyah, yang terkenal dengan pemikiran materialisdan ateisnya itu,berlangsung dengan
mendebarkan.
"Benarkah Allah itu wujud?," soal Dahri memulakan majlis dialognya.
"Bahkan Allah memang wujud," tegas Abu Hanifah.
"Kalau Allah maujud (wujud), di manakah tempatnya..?" Suara Dahri semakin meninggi.
"Allah tetap wujud tetapi dia tidak bertempat!" jelas Abu Hanifah.
"Hairan, kau kata Allah itu wujud, tetapi tidak bertempat pula...?" bantah Dahri sambil melemparkan senyuman sinisnya kepada hadirin.
"Ah, itu senang sahaja wahai Dahri. Cuba kau lihat pada dirimu sendiri. Bukankah pada dirimu itu ada nyawa..." Abu Hanifah mula berhujah. Orang ramai mula memerhatikan gaya ilmuan muda ini berpidato dengan penuh minat.
"Bahkan, memang aku ada nyawa, dan memang setiap makhluk yang bernafas itu ada nyawa...!" sahut Dahri.
"Tetapi adakah kau tahu di manakah letaknya nyawa atau rohmu itu...? Dikepalakah, diperutkah atau adakah dihujung tapak kakimu..?" Terserentak Dahriseketika. Orang ramai mula berbisik-bisik sesama sendiri. Setelah itu Abu Hanifah mengambil pula
segelas susu lalu ditunjukkan pada Dahri, seraya berkata: " Adakah dalam air susu ini
ada terkandung lemak...?"
Pantas Dahri menjawab, "Ya, bahkan!"
Abu Hanifah bertanya lagi, "Kalau begitu dimanakah lemak itu berada...? Di bahagian atasnyakah atau dibawahkah.. .?" Sekali lagi Dahri terserentak, tidak mampu menjawab pertanyaan Abu Hanifah yang petah itu. "Untuk mencari dimanakah beradanya roh dalam
jasad dan tersisip dimanakah kandungan lemak dalam air susu ini pun kita tidak upaya, masakan pula kita dapat menjangkau dimanakah beradanya Zat Allah SWT di
alam maya ini? Zat yang telah mencipta dan mentadbir seluruh alam ini termasuk roh
dan akal dangkal kita ini, pun ciptaan-Nya, yang tunduk dan patuh di bawah urusan tadbir kerajaan-Nya Yang Maha ! Agung...!" Suasana menjadi agak bingar.
Dahri terpaku di kerusi. Terbungkam lidahnya. Merah mukanya. Kesabarannya mula terburai. Bila keadaan agak reda, Dahri membentangkan soalan. "Hai anak muda! Apakah yang wujud sebelum Allah. Dan apa pula yang muncul selepas Dia nanti..." Semua mata
tertumpu pada Abu Hanifah, murid Imam Hammad yang pintar ini.
"Wahai Dahri! Tidak ada suatu pun yang wujud sebelum Allah Taala dan tidak ada sesuatu jua yang akan muncul selepas-Nya. Allah SWT tetap Qadim dan Azali. Dialah
yanng Awal dan Dialah yang Akhir", tegas Abu Hanifah, ringkas tapi padat.
"Pelik sungguh! Mana mungkin begitu....Tuhan Wujud tanpa ada permulaan Nya? Dan mana mungkin Dia pula yang terakhir tanpa ada lagi yang selepas Nya....?" Dahri cuba berdalih dengan minda logiknya.
Dengan tersenyum Abu Hanifah menjelaskan, "Ya! Dalilnya ada pada diri kamu
sendiri. Cuba kau lihat pada ibu jari mu itu. Jari apakah yang kau nampak berada sebelum jari ini..?" Sambil menuding ibu jarinya ke langit.
Dan beberapa hadirin turut berbuat demikian. "Dan pada jari manis kau itu, ada
lagikah jari yang selepasnya.. ." Dahri membelek-belek jarinya. Tidak terfikir dia persoalan
yang sekecil itu yang diambil oleh Abu Hanifah."Jadi...! Kalaulah pada jari kita yang kecil ini pun, tidak mampu kita fikir, apatah lagi Allah SWT Zat Yang Maha Agung itu, yang tiada suatu pun yang mendahului-Nya dan tiada sesuatu yang kemudian
selepas-Nya. "
Sekali lagi Dahri tercenggang. Bungkam. Namun masih tidak berputus asa untuk mematahkan hujah anak muda yang telah memalukannya di khalayak ramai. Khalifah
memerhatikan sahaja gelagat Dahri dengan penuh tanda tanya. Dahri berfikir seketika, mencari jalan, mencari idea. Semacam suatu ilham baru telah menyuntik mindanya, iapun tersenyum. Hati Dahri bergelodak bagai air tengah menggelegak.
"Ini soalan yang terakhir buat mu, hai.. budak mentah!" Sengaja Dahri mengeraskan suaranya agar rasa malunya itu terperosok.
"Allah itu ada, kata mu. Ha! apakah pekerjaan Tuhan mu ketika ini ?" Soalan tersebut membuat Abu Hanifah tersenyum riang.
"Ini soalan yang sungguh menarik. Jadi kenalah dijawab dari tempat yang tinggi supaya dapat didengar oleh semua orang," Katanya. Pemuda ideologi Ad-Dahriyyun yang sedari tadi mentalitinya dicabar terus, berjalan turun meninggalkan mimbar masjid Jamek, memberi tempat untuk Abu Hanifah:
"Wahai sekelian manusia. Ketahuilah bahawa kerja Allah ketika ini ialah menggugurkan yang bathil sebagaimana Dahri yang berada di atas mimbar, diturunkan Allah ke bawah mimbar. Dan Allah juga telah menaikkan yang hak sebagaimana aku, yang berada di sana, telah dinaikkan ke atas mimbar Masjid Jamek ini... !"
Bagai halilintar, hujah Abu Hanifah menerjah ke dua-dua pipi Dahri. Seiring dengan itu bergemalah pekikan takbir dari orang ramai. Mereka memuji-muji kewibawaan Abu Hanifah yang telah berjaya menyelamatkan maruah Islam dari lidah Dahri yang sesat lagi menyesatkan itu. Sehingga ke hari ini, nama Imam Abu Hanifah terus dikenali keserata dunia sebagai
seorang Fuqaha dan salah seorang daripada Imam Mujtahid Mutlak yang empat. Kemunculan Mazhab Hanafi dalam fiqh Syar'iyyah, juga mengambil sempena nama
ulama ini.
"Ya Allah, selamatkanlah umat Islam yg sedang sengsara di Lubnan, Palestin, Afghanistan, Iraq,Chechnya serta diseluruh pelosok dunia akibat dari angkara mungkar dan kekejaman musuh-musuh Mu. Peliharakanlah mereka, lindungilah mereka, kasihanilah mereka dan berikanlah rahmatMu ke atas mereka.
Amin, ya Rabbal A'lamin."
Pada suatu ketika, kota Baghdad didatangi oleh seorang pendakyah Yahudi bernama Dahri. Kedatangannya mencetuskan kegemparan dikalangan umat Islam. Dahri cuba merosakkan pegangan umat Islam dengan membahaskan soal-soal yang berhubung kait denngan keTuhanan. Dicabarnya para ulama Baghdad untuk berdebat
dengannya. Setiap kali cabarannya disahut, hujah-hujah Dahri tidak pernah dapat dipatahkan
sehingga akhirnya tidak ada lagi ulama Baghdad dan ulama-ulama disekitarnya yang sanggup berhadapan dengannya.
Dari kejadiannya ini, tahulah Khalifah bahawa Baghdad sudah ketiadaan ulama yang
benar-benar berwibawa dan tinggi ketaqwaannya. Lalu Khalifah memerintahkan beberapa orang menteri meninjau ke daerah lain, kalau-kalau masih ada ulama yang
boleh dibawa berdepan dengan Dahri. Akhirnnya wakil Khalifah menemui Imam Hammad bin Abi Sulaimann Al-Asyari, seorang ulama yang tidak kurang juga ketokohannya
Khalifah memerintahkan supaya hari perdebatan antara Imam Hammad dan Dahri disegerakan. Dan majlis bersejarah itu mesti dibuat di Masjid Jamek di tengah-tengah kota Baghdad. Sehari sebelum pertemuan itu lagi, Masjid Jamek telah penuh sesak dengan orang
ramai. Masing-masing menaruh harapan agar Imam Hammad berjaya menumbangkan Dahri kerana beliaulah satu-satunya ulama yang diharapkan.
"Subhanallah. ... Subhanallah .... Walauhaulawalaquwwata illa billahi aliyyil azim....!" Lidah Imam Hammad terus melafazkan kalimat mensucikan segala tohmahan yang tidak layak bagi Zat yang Maha Agung. Dia beristighfar terus. Rasanya dah tidak sanggup telinganya menadah bermacam tohmahan yang dilemparkan oleh Dahri yang biadab dan matarialis itu.
Mempertikaikan KeEsaan Allah SWT buukanlah perkara kecil dalam Islam. Ini kes berat! Hatinya cukup pedih. Roh ketauhidannya bergelora. Mahu rasanya dipenngal leher si Dahri yang angkuh itu di depan ribuan mata yang turut hadir dalam majlis itu.
Keesokannya, pagi-pagi lagi muncul Abu Hanifah, murid Imam Hammad yang paling rapat dan yang paling disayanginya. Namanya yang sebenar ialah Nu' man,
yang ketika itu usiannya masih lagi remaja. Bila ternampak keadaan gurunya itu, Abu Hanifah pun bertanya untuk mendapat kepastian.
Lalu Imam Hammad menceritakan keadaan yang sebenar. Dalam pada itu teringat Hammad akan mimpinya malam tadi, lalu dikhabarkan kepada muridnya itu. Abu Hanifah mendengarnya dengan penuh khusyuk.
"...Aku bermimpi ada sebuah dusun yang amat luas lagi indah. Di sana kulihat ada sepohon kayu yand rendanng dan lebat buahnya.Tiba- tiba, di situ keluar seekor
khinzir dari hujung sebuah kampung. Lalu habis dimakannya buah-buahan yang masak ranum dari pokok itu. Hingga ke daun dan dahan-dahannya habis ditutuh.Yang tinggal cuma batangnya sahaja.Dalam pada itu juga keluar seekor harimau daripada umbi pohon
rendang tadi lalu menerkam khinzir itu dengan gigi dan kukunya yang tajam.Lalu,khinzir tadi mati disitu juga."
Hammad termenung seketika. Kekalutan pemikiran yang telah dicetuskan Dahri, yang boleh menggugat pegangan aqidah umat ini,tidak boleh di biarkan. Mesti dihapuskan segera. Wajahnya yang tenang bagai air sungai yang mengalir jernih, masih nampak bercahaya
walau di saat sebegitu genting.
Satu kelebihan Abu Hanifah ialah beliau juga dikurniakan Allah ilmu menta'bir mimpi, sebagai mana nabi Allah Yusuf. Pada pengamatannya juga, mimpi tersebut akan memberi petanda baik bahawa si Dahri pasti akan menerima padahnya nanti. Dan setelah mendapat keizinan gurunya, dia pun cuba mentafsirnya:
" Apa yang tuan lihat dalam mimpi tuan sebagai dusun yang luas lagi indah itu adalah tamsilan kepada agama Islam kita. Pokok yang berbuah lebat itu adalah tamsilan kepada sekalian ulamannya. Manakala sepohon kayu yang masih tinggal itu adalah tuan sendiri. Dan
khinzir yang tiba-tiba muncul dan merosakkan pohon tersebut ialah si Dahri. Manakala harimau yang keluar lalu membunuh khinzir tadi... adalah saya..." jelas Abu Hanifah.

Choosing a Car Stereo
Choosing a car stereo can be a complicated and difficult task, especially for individuals with little knowledge on the subject. This process requires extensive research in order to determine you are receiving the best deal possible. Before going to a car stereo dealer, you may want to review and understand all the components of a car stereo. This way, you can personally choose which components you would like for your car. The following is a list of the basic components of a car stereo: 
Decks - Car stereos cannot function without a deck. A deck constitutes any piece of equipment ranging from cassette decks and CD players to MP3s and mini discs. The deck is considered the glue that holds the car stereo together. The deck controls the overall output of the sound and allows you to control the music being played. All car stereo decks have a minimum 4-channel output for your speakers. If you want more power than what your speakers alone can hold, you may want to consider purchasing an amplifier.

All car stereo decks have a minimum 4-channel output for your speakers. If you want more power than what your speakers alone can hold, you may want to consider purchasing an amplifier.
Amplifiers Amplifiers provide the power needed to blast the music in your car. The more powerful your amplifier is, the louder the sound system is going to be. An amplifier can have anywhere from 1 to 7 channels. The number of channels in your amplifier is the number of speakers you can hookup in a series circuit.
Speakers Speakers are where the sound from the stereo is emitted. Different types of speakers are designed to produce different frequencies. Higher frequencies provide the capacity for more sound and produce a higher level sound as well. The efficiency of the speakers is what will determine how far the sound will travel. If you want the sound to travel far, you will need speakers with a higher frequency.
Subwoofers Every high-tech car stereo system should have a subwoofer. Subwoofers complete the sound by providing high efficiency of low frequencies, through the bass. In other words, the subwoofer is the piece of equipment which makes the car vibrate. A subwoofer needs to be enclosed in either a box or possibly the trunk of your vehicle. Keep this is mind when budgeting the cost of your stereo system.Now that you know the basics of how everything operates, you can ask informed questions as to which components you should have in your car.

Find your Passion
Are you on a search to find a passion in your life?
A passion so incredible that it could change your very existence?There exists a specific passion for every being on this earth. Yet most of us miss this passion and live a life of mediocrity. This article will inspire you to search for your passion and find purpose in your life.
HOW PASSION TRANSFORMED MY LIFE
In two years passion changed my life. I could sit here and tell you how happy I am, and why I smile every morning why I wake up. How my life has infinite meaning and I'm how at ease with my existence. And you may or may not believe that is possible. But here are some practical results. Six months after I found my passion I lost 100 pounds without even consciously dieting. I went from an alcoholic to complete sobriety without going through any treatment. And I cured myself of the intense panic attacks that were plaguing my life, all without having to take anti depressants. The true anti depressant is passion!Have you tried to rid yourself of your negative habits? How successful were you? It is hard to be successful if you concentrate on only the problem and not the root of the problem. The root of the problem is a life devoid of passion which is a life without value. A life without value is a breeding ground for negative habits. Conquer those negative habits with passion!Having a passion in your life creates miracles.
HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR PASSION
Chances are your passion is already in your life waiting for you to find it.I met a woman recently who wanted to write a book her whole life. Her passion in life is to write. The only problem is she doesn't realize she NEEDS to write a book. Her life will be unfulfilled until she does so.If she understood that, she would start writing that book immediately. Even if she only had the time to write a sentence a day that is the start of the journey of achieving her passion.The fact is she is still in the same position as she was 5 years ago. Had she started only writing one sentence a day then, today she would have 1,825 sentences instead of just the idea that one day she would like to write a book. Transforms your passions from WANTS into NEEDS.What have you been wanting to do that you've been carrying around with your for the last five years? Chances are, THAT is your passion in life. I wanted to write and produce a record for 12 years before I figured out that I NEEDED to write this record otherwise I would never be satisfied with life. Embrace that passion, fall in love with it and let it take you away! Your life will become perfect because of it.Passions enrich Relationships One thing that I found lacking in my life was my relationships. My father and I hadn't had the best relationship in the last few years. I take most of the blame for I had made some poor decisions in my life.
My passion literally changed my life in a matter of days. I enjoyed waking up every morning because I knew that I could pursue my passion anew! Having this attitude helps you appreciate your life and loved ones more. I was able to express my love for my Father because I was at ease with my life.At the same time, my father was happy just to see me happy. My passion in life has enriched my relationship with my father to the point that I now consider him my best friend. The other great thing about having a passion in life is it inspires others. My father told me something a few months back that I will never forget. He told me that I had become the biggest inspiration in his life over the last year because I was living my life with passion. That met more to me than anything anyone has ever told me.Have you tried to improve areas of your life with no success? Would you like a more healthy life that's enriched with great relationships?
Find your passion, and automatically all those negative habits in your life will correct themselves if they are in the way of your passion!Passion is like Bathing It isn't permanent Life is amazingly strange. You can find your passion in life and still struggle. If you're not careful, your passion can slip away from you.Once you discover your passion and cultivate it, you must do your best to never let it go.Put all your eggs in one basket and guard that basket with your life!Human beings are self doubting creatures by nature. Tiger Woods must practice daily to eradicate that self doubt. So where does that leave the rest of us?I have learned to surround myself with positive people who also live their life with passion. I read motivational books and listen to audio programs daily. And most importantly, when I am in doubt I ask my creator for guidance to get the answers I need. Often times my creator will show me the answers i need. When you are living a life harmonious with your passion, you are more aware of your connection with your Creator. That fact alone will enrich your life greater than anything in this material world.
FIND YOUR PASSION TODAY!
Dive head first into your passion this instance. You may not be here tomorrow, so go for it today. Take this gift of life and make the most of it. The only way to do that is to find your passion in life.All glories to You!

Puan,
PERKARA : PERMOHONAN UNTUK BERPOLIGAMI
Perkara di atas adalah di rujuk.
2. Sebab utama permohonan ini di lakukan adalah kerana saya inginmelengkapkan kuota yang telah di peruntukkan bagi saya. Buat masa ini kuotayang telah di isi cuma satu, memandangkan masih ada 3 kekosongan, eloklah jika dapat di penuhi secepat mungkin. Pihak yang akan mengisi satu kekosongan ini buat masa ini ialah Cik Hana Fazura binti Ramli yang merupakan setiausaha saya di pejabat. Memandangkan komitmen yang beliau tunjukkan di pejabat amat baik, eloklah jika kita masukkan dia bersama kita di dalam organisasi keluarga kita. Kekosongan yang selebihnya akan diisi di masa akan datang.
3. Untuk makluman pihak puan, yang sebenarnya masalah ini telah lama saya fikirkan tetapi memandangkan poket saya yang selalu nipis, terpaksalah saya tangguhkan dulu permohonan ini di samping kurangnye rasa keyakinan untuk mengemukakan permohonan ini. Kini, setelah saya dapat mengeluarkan kesemua duit pelaburan ASB saya, saya merasakan kembalinya semangat saya yang telah hilang selama ini.
4. Permohonan ini amat setimpal kerana dengan kedudukan sekarang iamenguntungkan kedua belah pihak dan juga pihak ketiga. Selama ini hidup kita bahagia sebab jika tidak, manakan mungkin puan dapat menjadi seperti sekarang. Semua yang puan miliki sudah bertambah besar. Kereta besar, rumah besar, rantai besar dan pakaian besar. Jika dulu potongan puan seperti gitar, kini sudah bertukar menjadi drum. Oleh itu, sudilah kiranya dapat kita kongsi bersama insan lain kebahagiaan kita ini.
5. Pihak puan juga dapat menikmati faedah dari kelulusan permohonan ini kerana puan akan tetap menikmati apa yang telah puan miliki sekarang dengan waktu bekerja lebih singkat dan sistem syif akan di perkenalkan iaitu 1hari kerja dan 1 hari cuti rehat. Waktu bekerja yang selebihnya akan ditampung oleh pihak ketiga. Kebaikan yang puan akan nikmati ialah waktu rehat yang bebas kerana dalam waktu puan bercuti, saya selaku Penyelia tidak akan memantau aktiviti yang puan lakukan. Pada waktu itu saya cumaakan fokus kepada hasil kerja pihak ketiga. Menguntungkan bukan?
6. Segala kerjasama dari pihak puan saya dahulukan dengan ribuan terimakasih. Saya amat berharap pihak puan dapat meluluskan permohonan saya ini kerana adalah lebih baik jika kita dapat berkongsi kebahagiaan kita ini bersama insan lain. Saya harap permohonan saya ini di balas dengan senyuman penuh keikhlasan dari pihak puan dan tandatangan puan di atas kertas yang saya lampirkan bukannya balingan periuk nasi, pinggan-mangkuk, ketukan senduk dan perkara-perkara yang menyukarkan pihak puan untuk melakukannya.
7. Saya harap puan sudi meluluskan permohonan ini. Hadirkanlah senyumanmu sebagaimana ketika kita menyambut orang baru iaitu bayi kita kedalam keluarga kita 10 tahun lepas. Situasinya lebih kurang sama dengan masakini. Kita akan menerima orang baru juga cuma bezanya ialah jika 10 tahun yang lepas kita perlu menjaga dan membelainya dengan manja bersama tetapi kali ini, setiap urusan penjagaan dan belaian manja akan di laksanakan oleh saya sepenuhnya.
8. Akhir kata, saya harap permohonan saya ini dapat dibalas secepat mungkin. Semoga kita bersama-bersama dengan pihak ketiga akan dapat melaksanakan program ini dengan jayanya.
Sekian, Terima Kasih.

Pencinta Wanita
1. Bila sorang wanita mengatakan dia sedang bersedih, tetapi dia tidak menitiskan airmata, itu bermakna dia sedang menangis di dalam hatinya.
2. Bila dia tidak menghiraukan kamu selepas kamu menyakiti hatinya,lebih baik kamu beri dia masa untuk menenangkan hatinya semula sebelum kamu menegur dengan ucapan maaf.
3. Wanita sukar nak cari benda yang dia benci tentang orang yang paling dia sayang(sebab itu ramai wanita yang patah hati bila hubungan itu putus di tengah jalan).
4. Sekiranya sorang wanita jatuh cinta dengan sorang lelaki, lelaki itu akan sentiasa ada di fikirannya walaupun ketika dia sedang keluar dengan lelaki lain.
5. Bila lelaki yang dia suka dan cinta merenung tajam ke dalam matanya,dia akan cair seperti coklat
6. Wanita memang sukakan pujian tetapi selalu tidak tau macam mana nak menerima pujian.
7. Jika kamu tidak suka dengan gadis yang sukakan kamu separuh mati, tolak cintanya dengan lembut, jangan berkasar sebab ada satu semangat dalam diri wanita yang kamu tak akan tahu bila dia dah buat keputusan, dia akan lakukan apa saja.
8. Sekiranya sorang gadis mula menjauhkan diri darimu selepas kamu tolak cintanya,biarkan dia untuk seketika.Sekiranya kamu masih ingin menganggap dia sorang kawan,cubalah tegur dia perlahan-lahan.
9. Wanita suka meluahkan apa yang mereka rasa melalui Muzik,puisi,lukisan dan tulisan ianya adalah cara termudah mereka meluahkan isi hati mereka.
10. Jangan sesekali beritahu perempuan yang mereka ni langsung tak berguna.
11. Bersikap terlalu serius boleh mematikan mood wanita.
12. Bila pertama kali lelaki yang dicintainya dalam diam memberikan respon positif, misalnya menghubunginya melalui telefon, si gadis akan bersikap acuh tak acuh seolah-olah tidak berminat,tetapi sebaik saja ganggang diletakkan,dia akan menjerit kesukaan dan tak sampai sepuluh minit,semuarakan-rakannya akan tahu berita tersebut.
13. Sekuntum senyuman memberi seribu erti bagi wanita. Jadi jangan senyum sebarangan.
14. Jika kamu menyukai sorang wanita,cubalah mulakan dengan persahabatan.Kemudian biarkan dia mengenalimu dengan lebih mendalam.
15. Jika sorang wanita memberi seribu satu alasan setiap kali kamu ajak keluar,tinggalkan dia sebab dia memang tak berminat denganmu.
16. Tetapi jika dalam masa yang sama dia menghubungimu atau menunggu panggilan darimu,teruskan usahamu untuk memikatnya.
17. Jangan sesekali mengagak apa yang dirasakannya.Tanya dia sendiri.
18. Selepas sorang gadis jatuh cinta,dia akan sering tertanya-tanya kenapalah aku tak jumpa lelaki ini lebih awal.
19. Kalau kamu masih tercari-cari cara yang paling romantik untuk memikat hati sorang gadis,cubalah rajin-rajinkan tangan menyelak buku-buku cinta.
20. Bila setiap kali gambar kelas keluar,benda pertama yang dicari oleh wanita ialah siapa yang berdiri di sebelah buahhatinya,kemudian barulah dirinya sendiri.
21. Bekas teman lelaki akan sentiasa ada di fikirannya tetapi lelaki yang dicintainya sekarang akan berada di tempat teristimewa iaitu di hatinya.
22. Satu ucapan 'Hi' sahaja sudah cukup menceriakan harinya.
23. Teman baiknya saja yang tahu apa yang sedang dia rasa dan lalui.
24. Wanita paling benci lelaki yang berbaik-baik dengan mereka semata-mata nak tackle kawan mereka yang paling cantik.
25. Cinta bermaksud kesetiaan, ambil berat, jujur dan kebahagiaan tanpa sebarang kompromi.
26. Semua wanita mahukan sorang lelaki yang cintakan mereka sepenuh hati.
27. Senjata wanita adalah airmata
28. Wanita suka jika sesekali orang yang disayanginya mengadakan surprise buatnya(hadiah,bunga atau sekadar kad ucapan romantis).Mereka akan rasa terharu dan merasakan bahawa dirinya dicintai setulus hati.Dengan ini dia tak akan ragu-ragu terhadapmu.
29. Wanita mudah jatuh hati pada lelaki yang ambil berat tentang mereka dan baik terhadapnya.So,kalau nak memikat wanita pandai-pandailah...
30. Sebenarnya mudah mengambil hati wanita kerana apa yang dia mahu hanyalah perasaan dicintai dan disayangi sepenuhjiwa.

" Murid 2 = " Bulan "
Murid 3 = " Matahari "
Murid 4 = " Bintang-bintang "
Iman Ghazali = " Semua jawaban itu benar. Tetapi yang paling benar adalah *MASA LALU*. Bagaimanapun kita, apapun kenderaan kita, tetap kita tidak akan dapat kembali ke masa yang lalu.

Paintball, Beyond the Ball
It has come to our attention that there are a lot of people out there that don't really know that there are different types of paintball. Our mission is to help those poor lost souls and open their eyes to what awaits them in the world of paintball. Although there are many variations of the game of paintball we don't want to overwhelm you so we will stick to the main three. Now these may arguably be the main three but for the sake of this article we will say that they are the main three variations of paintball and they are Woodsball, Speedball, and Scenario Paintball.
Woodsball is old school paintball at its heart. Paintball started off for the most part being played in wooded areas which lent themselves to the capture the flag and elimination type paintball games to be played. Because woodsball can be played over several acres and there are usually not many areas where large portions of the field can be viewed at one time, woodsball games tend to run longer than other types of paintball play. Wooded areas also give players the ability to take part in some more realistic wartime situations such as ambushes, assaults on fortified positions and protecting VIP's etc..
Speedball differs from woodsball in a number of ways. One of the most obvious differences is the look and size of the field. As opposed to the large and natural landscape of woodsball, speedball is played usually on artificial turf with artificial bunkers on a field that is typically no larger than half of a football field in size. The artificial obstacles and bunkers have evolved over the years, in the old days of paintball they were made of anything that was laying around mainly larger wooden spools and crates, they then moved onto corrugated sewer piping and eventually evolved into the more cost effective and asthmatically pleasing inflatable bunkers that are more popular today.
Scenario paintball games are based on a storyline or theme. Scenario games allow for a wide range of player skill levels and an even larger amount of participants. These games can span a period as short as 12 hours or last for days. Objectives vary based on the storyline but cooperation is a major theme in these games. The largest game to date was Skirmish's Invasion of Normandy, held annually in Jim Thorpe, PA, which drew 4,007 players in 2006. The summer of 2007 should be another record breaking season for paintball, it should be fun to see.

6 perkara Allah S.W.T sembunyikan
Allah SWT selesai menciptakan Jibrail as dengan bentuk yang cantik, dan Allah menciptakan pula baginya 600 sayap yang panjang , sayap itu antara timur dan barat (ada pendapat lain menyatakan 124, 000 sayap). Setelah itu Jibrail as memandang dirinya sendiri dan berkata:
"Wahai Tuhanku, adakah engkau menciptakan makhluk yang lebih baik daripada aku?."
Lalu Allah swt berfirman yang bermaksud.. "Tidak"
Kemudian Jibrail as berdiri serta solat dua rakaat kerana syukur kepada Allah swt. dan tiap-tiap rakaat itu lamanya 20,000 tahun.
Setelah selesai Jibrail as solat, maka Allah SWT berfirman yang bermaksud. "Wahai Jibrail, kamu telah menyembah Aku dengan ibadah yang bersungguh-sungguh, dan tidak ada seorang pun yang menyembah kepadaKu seperti ibadat kamu, akan tetapi di akhir zaman nanti akan datang seorang nabi yang mulia yang paling aku cintai, namanya Muhammad.' Dia mempunyai umat yang lemah dan sentiasa berdosa, sekiranya mereka itu mengerjakan solat dua rakaat yang hanya sebentar sahaja, dan mereka dalam keadaan lupa serta serba kurang, fikiran mereka melayang bermacam-macam dan dosa mereka pun besar juga. Maka demi kemuliaannKu dan ketinggianKu, sesungguhnya solat mereka itu Aku lebih sukai dari solatmu itu. Kerana mereka mengerjakan solat atas perintahKu, sedangkan kamu mengerjakan solat bukan atas perintahKu."
Kemudian Jibrail as berkata: "Ya Tuhanku, apakah yang Engkau hadiahkan kepada mereka sebagai imbalan ibadat mereka?"
Lalu Allah berfirman yang bermaksud. "Ya Jibrail, akan Aku berikan syurga Ma'waa sebagai tempat tinggal..."
Kemudian Jibrail as meminta izin kepada Allah untuk melihat syurga Ma'waa. Setelah Jibrail as mendapat izi n dari Allah SWT maka pergilah Jibrail as dengan mengembangkan sayapnya dan terbang, setiap dia mengembangkan dua sayapnya dia boleh menempuh jarak perjalanan 3000 tahun, terbanglah malaikat jibrail as selama 300 tahun sehingga ia merasa letih dan lemah dan akhirnya dia turun singgah berteduh di bawah bayangan sebuah pohon dan dia sujud kepada Allah SWT lalu ia berkata dalam sujud:
"Ya Tuhanku apakah sudah aku menempuh jarak perjalanan setengahnya, atau sepertiganya, atau seperempatnya? "
Kemudian Allah swt berfirman yang bermaksud. "Wahai Jibrail, kalau kamu dapat terbang selama 3000 tahun dan meskipun Aku memberikan kekuatan kepadamu seperti kekuatan yang engkau miliki, lalu kamu terbang seperti yang telah kamu lakukan, nescaya kamu tidak akan sampai kepada sepersepuluh dari beberapa perpuluhan yang telah Kuberikan kepada umat Muhammad terhadap imbalan solat dua rakaat yang me reka kerjakan.... ."
Marilah sama2 kita fikirkan dan berusaha lakukan... Sesungguhnya Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan enam perkara iaitu :
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan redha-Nya dalam taat.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan murka-Nya di dalam maksiat.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan nama-Nya yang Maha Agung di dalam Al-Quran.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan Lailatul Qadar di dalam bulan Ramadhan.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan solat yang paling utama di dalam solat (yang lima waktu)
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan (tarikh terjadinya) hari kiamat di dalam semua hari.
Semoga kita mendapat berkat daripada ilmu ini. Wallahualam

What Starbucks can do for your business
How can you build in an experience factor into your business model, which would allow you to up-sell, cross-sell, increase the time and money spent by your customers at your point of business?
We all know the epic journey across the country that ended in Seattle Washington and that led to the creation of the world’s most famous coffee brand Starbucks. I doubt that the o
riginal business plan envisioned a billion dollar business, thousands of Starbucks spanning nearly all the countries of the world. There is even one in the infamous Great Wall of China! Talk about success, from Seattle to Beijing.
riginal business plan envisioned a billion dollar business, thousands of Starbucks spanning nearly all the countries of the world. There is even one in the infamous Great Wall of China! Talk about success, from Seattle to Beijing. As a business owner/manager,
- How can you use the Starbucks success to increase your profits?
- What can Starbucks do for your business?
- Why do millions of people everyday, voluntarily make their way to a Starbucks to buy a $5 coffee that costs all of a maximum of 40-50 cents for the cuppa Java?
Sure, the coffee tastes good. The bells and whistles and frills of a latte are enchanting. The caffeine rush helps to pick up in the morning, in the afternoon and after dinner. The same coffee product without the bells and whistles, stripped down to its commodity form, plain old coffee also has the same pick up effects, doesn’t it?
The dirty little secret behind Starbucks success is not the taste of their coffee. Starbucks is not selling coffee, they are selling an experience. The whole Starbucks design is geared to providing the patron with an experience. The furniture, the layout, the music, wireless access, music CD sales. If you are old enough you will remember the hamburger that ended with “Where is the beef”. Well, where is the coffee, because all the above stated are complimentary attributes to the coffee that they serve.
Starbucks has positioned itself as the second home away from home. After the lengthy explanation which was necessary to understand their model,
- How can you use the Starbucks model to grow your business?
- How can you build in an experience into your business model, which would allow you to up-sell, cross-sell, increase the time and money spent by your customers at your point of business?
As a management consultant I help clients that need to fine tune their business models to grow their bottom line. At Business Tune Up, we recently worked together with a main street boutique that had difficulty in competing with its competitors. We applied the Starbucks experience model to the boutique and came up with complimentary attributes that were perceived by clients as adding greater value to the high end fashion items that they purchased. We changed their business fundamentals from selling clothes to selling the experience.
Think out of the box to see how you can add the ‘experience’ factor to your business model. Sell up, sell cross, and differentiate your product or service from the rest of your competitors. And don’t worry about your competitors copying your ‘experience’. All you need to be assured is to see the bustling Starbucks coffee shops and its half empty ‘me too’ competitors. It’s called first mover advantage.

Top Five Tips Small Business Owners Can Learn from J. K. Rowling
J.K. Rowling's rise to fame and fortune is inspiring. Though her fortune is estimated at $1 billion, and she is ranked as the 136th richest person, in 1990, things were very different. She was unpublished. She didn't have much money. She was working as a researcher and bi-lingual secretary, and her mother had just died. How she got from there to where she is today is a story filled with invaluable tips for small business owners.
J. K. Rowling is the English writer who has authored all seven beloved and widely read Harry Potter novels. At age 41, her rise to fame and fortune is inspiring. She has sold over 325 million books. The final book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was the fastest-selling book of all time.
Her fortune is estimated at $1 billion. She is ranked as the 136th richest person in the world. In 2006, Forbes named Rowling the second richest female entertainer in the world and ranked her as 48th on the 100 most powerful celebrities list of 2007.
When this all began in 1990, however, things were very different for J. K. Rowling. She was not a published author. She did not have a lot of money. She was living in London, working as a researcher and bi-lingual secretary for Amnesty International, and her mother had just died. How she got from there to where she is today is a story filled with invaluable tips for small business owners.
When this all began in 1990, however, things were very different for J. K. Rowling. She was not a published author. She did not have a lot of money. She was living in London, working as a researcher and bi-lingual secretary for Amnesty International, and her mother had just died. How she got from there to where she is today is a story filled with invaluable tips for small business owners.
Tip # 1: Don't Rush to Roll Out Your Product.
Destiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences. - Rowling
Although J. K. Rowling had been a writer all her life, she was slow to publish. "I had written two novels before I had the idea for Harry, though I'd never tried to get them published (and a good job too, I don't think they were very good)."
All too often, as small business owners, we rush to get a product out before its time, before it's been fully considered or tested. Rowling sets a great example of getting a product just right before presenting it to the world.
Tip # 2: When a Great Idea Grabs You -- Grab Back.
You sort of start thinking anythings possible if you've got enough nerve. - Rowling
Great ideas are unmistakably powerful in their announcement and come when least expected. Rowling says:
Where the idea for Harry Potter actually came from, I really couldn't tell you. I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and it just popped into my head. I spent four hours thinking about what Hogwarts would be like. By the time I got off at King's Cross, many of the characters in the books had already been invented.
As small business owners, we know when a great idea is upon us. The problem is, we often question it, second-guess it, and rationalize it away. Not Rowling. She recognized the mark of a powerful idea, seized upon it and went with it.
Tip # 3: Persevere, Persevere, and Persevere.
It is our choices . . . that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. - Rowling
Rowling moved to Portugal to teach English as a Second Language in 1991 and married her first husband in 1992. They divorced in 1993. The next year, she moved to Scotland. At this point, she was an unemployed single mother living on welfare. In 1995, she completed her manuscript for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, typing it out on an old manual typewriter. She handed in the book to twelve publishing houses. They all rejected it.
Rowling never gave up. She did not stop just because life was hard. Despite all the changes and setbacks she was experiencing, she carried on. She persevered. As small business owners, we would do well to keep her example in mind.
Tip # 4: Don't Let Anyone, Including Yourself, Sidetrack You from Your Goal.
If you're holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time. - Rowling
Finally, Bloomsbury, a small publisher, agreed to publish the first book. Her editor, though, says that he "advised Rowling to get a day job, since she had little chance of making money in children's books."
It's a good thing she didn't listen. All seven volumes of the Harry Potter series have broken sales records and have been translated into 65 languages. What a shining role model Rowling is for small business owners. She didn't let anyone stand in the way of her goal-not even herself.
Tip # 5: Each of Us Has a Unique Contribution to Make to the World.
I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It's totally for myself. - Rowling
J. K. Rowling never went searching for the kind of success she's received. "I just wrote the sort of thing I liked reading when I was younger (and still enjoy now!). I didn't expect lots of people to like them, in fact, I never really thought much past getting them published."
It wasn't fame or wealth that J. K. Rowling sought. No. She simply wanted to contribute to the world in general, and to children specifically. As small business owners, this is so important to learn. Focus on the unique something we have to offer to the world. The rest will surely come, in ways we may not even be able to imagine.
