Hyundai CEO Mong Hyun Yoon began fasting in Ramadan because seeing the workers fast “left me in awe.”

Dear HOAS Family:

We have started one of Islam’s 5 pillars, fasting in the month of Ramadhan. In the hijri calendar, Ramadhan is the 9th month. I know it as the month Gabriel aleyhi salaam (upon him be peace) started bringing the verses of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad sallahu aleyhi wasalaam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

 I heard in this month from sunrise to sunset, food and water including even cigarettes is forbidden. As of last year, to be one with the HAOS family in their thoughts and understand them, I decided to take fasting as a habit.

 Although I didn’t feel much in the first few days, as days went by I started really looking forward to the time of the opening of the fasting.

 Whilst I was in the office and seeing the difficulty of the fast (among staff), our assembly line was fasting without any water and as a foreigner this left me in awe. I wanted to express my joy and I’m proud of you. The thing that has shocked me the most is that you fast without seeing fasting as a chore and you show the willingness to fulfil it as an obligation.

 From seeing my fasting colleagues I understood the Quranic subjects of the poor and the needy, especially with the experience of my own fasts. There are a lot of people around us who work on low incomes. These people do what they do because of us, they do the work we do not want to. With the blessings of Ramadhan I hope we recognize these people and thank them and I hope it is a Ramadhan where we learn to share with them. .

 I am happy to announce that to make your work easier in this month of Ramadhan we are taking certain steps. One of these steps is the cheques being distributed to ensure we can aid you in your household shopping for iftar.

 Another step is distribution of selective cheques. On the assembly line to ensure the safety of the workers and their ease.

 Special developments are taking place such as designated extra break areas and menus for fasting food .

 I request you abide by the safety measures and the advice for those partaking in Ramadhan.

 I hope at the end of this holy month it is a festival in which all the family of HOAS celebrates with smiles.

 May Ramadhan bring blessings to your houses and goodness to your families.

 Mong Hyun Yoon

Kuala Lumpur Forest Eco Park, Taman Tasik Titiwangsa & Festival City.

Perancangan dibuat sehari sebelum.. Tempat pertama dituju selepas minum pagi di Medan Selera Taman Dato Senu adalah Kuala Lumpur Forest Eco Park. Setelah mengisi perut, kami bergerak terus ke Jaln Raja Chulan berbekalkan 2 botol air mineral. Saya difahamkan tempat tu free jer, tapi kena bayar kat apek yang jaga parking RM10. Aktiviti yg menarik adalah menyeberangi jambatan gantung dan taman botani. Berpeluh juga anak-anak mendaki dan menuruni tangga. Terdapat 5 menara tinjau yang menghubungkan atau divert jambatan gantung.

Daripada Taman Eco Park, kami terus ke Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. Bermain badminton, sepak bola dan menunggang motosikal elektrik...harga sewa RM30 untuk 30 minit.

Setelah penat beriadah di Taman Titiwangsa, kami bergerak pula ke Festival City berhampiran Danau Kota Setapak. Sampai saja terus menempah tiket wayang kat MBO untuk kami enam orang...habis la dalam RM120. Tiga orang nonton The Great Wall dan Tiga orang nonton Assassin Creed. Saya bersama isteri dan Hawwari menonton The Great Wall..

Balik daripada menonton wayang...lebih kurang jam 10  malam, kami semua decide nk makan nasi lemak dgn char kuey tiaw di gerai depan Petronas Jalan Gombak. Selesai makan terus balik rumah kerana kami semua amat keletihan...selesai..

8 Highly Effective Habits That Helped Make Bill Gates the Richest Man on Earth

8 Highly Effective Habits That Helped Make Bill Gates the Richest Man on Earth Adopting these habits may not make you a billionaire, but it will make you more effective and more successful.

Being in the right place with the right product at the dawn of the personal computer era certainly had a lot to do with it. But so do some very smart approaches to work and life that all of us can follow. The personal finance site GOBankingRates recently published a list of 10 habits and experiences that make Gates so successful and helped him build his fortune.

Here are my favorites. How many of them do you do?
1. He's always learning. Gates is famous for being a Harvard dropout, but the only reason he dropped out is that he and Paul Allen saw a window of opportunity to start their own software company. In fact, Gates loves learning and often sat in on classes he wasn't signed up for. That's something he had in common with Steve Jobs, who stuck around after dropping out of Reed College, sleeping on floors, so that he could take classes that interested him.
2. He reads everything. "Just about every kind of book interested him -- encyclopedias, science fiction, you name it," Gates's father said in an interview. Although his parents were thrilled that their son was such a bookworm, they had to establish a no-reading-at-the-dinner-table rule. That love of reading continues, with Gates publishing an annual list of his favorite books of the year. Reading a lot is a great habit to cultivate. Just don't do it while having dinner with your family.
3. He gives credit to others. When asked in an interview to name the best business decisions he'd ever made, Gates replied, "I'd say my best business decisions really have to do with picking people." Even though he and Allen have had a complicated relationship, he went on to say that choosing Allen as a business partner was at the top of that list. We all need to be good at promoting ourselves, but it's smart to give the credit to the people you work with whenever possible.
4. He trusts his own judgment. You can have a really good career if you always listen to other people's opinions and predictions. But to have a breakout career like Gates or Jobs, you need to listen to yourself first and foremost, even if the entire world is telling you you're wrong. That's what happened when Gates and Allen launched Microsoft. In a speech, Gates said the company was "based on this wild idea that nobody else agreed with -- that computer chips were going to become so powerful that computers and software would become a tool that would be on every desk and in every home." Everyone said they were wrong, they launched it anyway, and the rest is history.
5. He's conservative with cash. "I wanted to have enough money in the bank to pay a year's worth of payroll even if we didn't get any payments coming in, and I'm true to that almost the whole time," he told an interviewer in 1998. "We have almost $10 billion now, which is pretty much enough for the next year." How much money do you have set aside to cover payroll just in case something bad happens?
6. He learns from his mistakes. In an 2008 interview, Gates credited some of Microsoft's success to his and his leadership team's ability to quickly recognize a mistake, say, "Oops, this isn't working," and try a different approach. He's certainly made plenty of mistakes over the years that he can learn from. Remember Windows Vista?
7. He gets plenty of sleep. We all know how important sleep is. Instead of bragging about how late he works and how sleep-deprived he is, Gates makes sure to get seven hours a night, because he says he can't be creative otherwise. That's definitely a good habit that everyone should follow.
8. He really concentrates on what he's doing. Too many of us are easily distracted and guilty of multitasking, even though we know it's dreadfully inefficient. Not only does Gates resist the temptation to multitask, he also exhibits really deep concentration while working on tasks. So much so that he's been known to drift off to sleep while coding, wake up an hour later, and pick up right where he left off. ADVERTISEMENT You don't have to go that far. But the more you can focus on what you're doing instead of wandering away to check Facebook or stock prices, the better work you'll do and the more effective you'll be. There you have it -- the habits that I believe helped make Bill gates a multibillionaire. Do you agree? How many of these habits will you try to adopt yourself?
