Money Heist

Siapa yang menonton Money Heist akan teruja dengan strategi yang digunakan oleh perompak. Yang menariknya mereka bangga dengan identiti mereka sebagai perompak. Sebabnya, mereka adalah perompak kelas atasan. Rompakan yang dilakukan bukan calang-calang rompakan.

Siapa sangka Money Heist telah berlaku di Malaysia pada 31 Ogos, 1994. Perompak dikenali dengan Geng Mamak. Tidak sama seperti perompak dalam filem Money Heist, mereka yang menjalankan rompakan terbesar di Lapangan Antarabangsa Subang tidak bersenjata dan sehingga ke hari ini jongkong emas yang dirompak tidak ditemui. Hebat juga Money Heist Malaysia.

Be yourself and never give in

Lesson to learn from Money Heist, season 5, is you have to remain calm, be yourself and don’t think about giving in when you are in a crisis. In one episode, there were two gangs with gunpoint at each other. None retracted their gun, because once they gave in, they would lose. As long as they did not give in, they had a chance to win. In that kind of situation, it is either both win or both lose. And, you choose to win or to lose.

LISTEN!!!

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

Stephen R. Covey

This is the real challenge in communication, when people listen not for understanding but more of for attacking. If this happens, we will face communication break down. People who don’t like listening to others, will not give a chance for others to explain. In any kind of argument, we always hear people said ‘listen, listen, listen..’ because everybody wants to talk but not to listen.

Pentingnya Sejarah

Setiap kali menonton cerita raja-raja Korea, Cina dan Turki zaman dahulu, saya merasakan mereka sangat hebat, sebab mementingkan catatan harian tentang apa yang berlaku setiap hari sebagai peninggalan sejarah dan warisan tidak ternilai kepada generasi yang akan datang. Saya sangkakan ini tidak berlaku dalam pemerintahan raja-raja Melayu, dan menganggap kesultanan Melayu tidak semaju dan sebijak raja-raja yang lain. Tetapi sangkaan saya meleset. Sebaik saja memulakan pembacaan buku ‘Sejarah Melayu’ oleh Shellabear, barulah saya sedar yang raja-raja Melayu juga mengutamakan catatan sejarah bagi tatapan anak cucu mereka. Tun Sri Lanang pernah bertitah ‘bahawa beta minta perbuatkan hikayat pada Bendahara, peri peristiwa dan peraturan segala raja-raja Melayu dengan istiadatnya sekali, supaya diketahui oleh segala anak cucu kita yang kemudian daripada kita, diingatkannya oleh mereka itu, syahadan beroleh faedahlah ia daripadanya’ (Shellabear 2016: xvii).

Do Good Things vs Bad Things

When we do a good thing, it is better for us to keep it to ourselves and maybe that is the reason for people not to realise the good things we do. When we do a bad thing, it is the same, we don’t tell people, but ironically the whole world can know the bad things that we do. Hmmmmm… There are so many quotes about doing good things and bad things.

Buat baik berpada-pada, buat jahat jangan sekali.

Whatever you do, good or bad, people will always have something negative to say.

The best thing is…

Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.

Make it simple or make it complicated!

We sometime think that if we explain complicated things to others and people don’t understand our explanation, we consider ourselves as great. People are not as intelligent as us, for not being able to understand what we are talking about. Actually we are wrong. When we cannot simplify complicated things, it means we don’t understand what we are talking about. How can we explain things that we don’t understand to others. It is impossible.

If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.

Cheer up when you are under attacked.

When people start attacking you, take it as a good sign. People will attack you when they don’t feel secure. Feeling insecurity can be caused by many factors. Some of the reasons I can think of are

  1. your enemy cannot find faults in you
  2. you ignore their existence
  3. you hold tight to your principles no matter who they are
  4. your enemy finds that they cannot use you

The enemy wouldn’t be attacking you if something very valuable wasn’t inside of you. You have got purpose!
