Evaluasi diri sendiri dengan menggunakan Analisis SWOT



Evaluasi diri sendiri  dengan menggunakan Analisis SWOT
Evaluasi berarti menguji kembali semua yang telah dilakukan, sekaligus membuat antisipasi dan sikap mawas diri terhadap hal yang mungkin terjadi. Sikap evaluasi diri berarti menyadari bahwa mungkin kita tidak mampu mengontrol situasi di sekitar, namun kita bisa memberdayakan diri sendiri seoptimal mungkin.
Evaluasi diri adalah cara untuk mengetahui dengan tepat kemampuan dan kondisi tantangan yang harus dihadapi. Sehingga target dan sasaran dapat diraih dengan sukes.
Kemudian, Agar menemukan momentum yang tepat untuk memacu diri.
Evaluasi biasanya dilakukan dalam periode waktu tertentu. Beberapa perusahaan mengadakan evaluasi setiap tahun. Namun untuk mengantisipasi perubahan yang lebih cepat, saat ini evaluasi lebih sering dilakukan setiap tiga atau empat bulan. Sama seperti diri kita, evaluasi pribadi secara rutin membuat kita menjadi tanggap dalam bertindak dan mengambil keputusan yang tepat di momen yang tepat.
Bukan itu saja, Untuk memetik hikmah dan mengantisipasi keadaan.
Kesalahan dan kegagalan adalah milik semua orang. Kita mungkin merasa kecewa dan menyesal mengapa semua ini dapat terjadi. Namun dengan evaluasi diri, kita dapat memetik pelajaran yang sangat berharga yang tidak dapat dibeli dan tidak tergantikan. Semua pengalaman kita, sukses maupun gagal, merupakan aset yang tidak ternilai harganya.
Kita perlu juga mengenal karakter pribadi, Mengenal karakter pribadi berarti. Ada sifat-sifat yang harus dipahami, di balik semua keadaan fisik dan kebiasaan yang nampak dari luar. Kenali potensi, bakat dan minat serta kekuatan dan kelemahan pribadi kita. Juga respon dan sikap kita ketika menghadapi tekanan dan masalah. Kenali juga gaya komunikasi, sikap terhadap lingkungan sosial, kinerja, kepemimpinan, pola pikir, emosi, daya tahan mental dan lain-lain. Semakin kita mengenal karakter pribadi, semakin mudah kita mengevaluasi diri sendiri.
Nilai-nilai kebenar membuat kita  mampu untuk bertindak obyektif yang dapat menjadi pegangan dan standar yang benar untuk bisa mengevaluasi diri dengan baik.
Melatih kemampuan untuk menimbang dan memahami. Dalam doanya kepada Allah, Nabi suleman tidak meminta kekayaan maupun kejayaan, melainkan hati yang dapat menimbang dan memahami. Kurang pengalaman mungkin adalah kendala terbesar dalam meraih sukses. Tapi dengan mengevaluasi diri, kita akan bisa mengantisipasi situasi yang akan kita hadapi dan dapat menggandakan potensi dan kemampuan kita.

Analisis SWOT adalah metode perencanaan strategis yang digunakan untuk mengevaluasi kekuatan (strengths), kelemahan (weaknesses), peluang (opportunities), dan ancaman (threats) dalam suatu proyek atau suatu spekulasi bisnis. Keempat faktor itulah yang membentuk akronim SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, dan threats). Proses ini melibatkan penentuan tujuan yang spesifik dari spekulasi bisnis atau proyek dan mengidentifikasi faktor internal dan eksternal yang mendukung dan yang tidak dalam mencapai tujuan tersebut. Analisis SWOT dapat diterapkan dengan cara menganalisis dan memilah berbagai hal yang mempengaruhi keempat faktornya, kemudian menerapkannya dalam gambar matrik SWOT, dimana aplikasinya adalah bagaimana kekuatan (strengths) mampu mengambil keuntungan (advantage) dari peluang (opportunities) yang ada, bagaimana cara mengatasi kelemahan (weaknesses) yang mencegah keuntungan (advantage) dari peluang (opportunities)yang ada, selanjutnya bagaimana kekuatan (strengths) mampu menghadapi ancaman (threats) yang ada, dan terakhir adalah bagaimana cara mengatasi kelemahan (weaknesses) yang mampu membuat ancaman (threats) menjadi nyata atau menciptakan sebuah ancaman baru.

Bank offers many services to business and their customers. Here are some of the most common:
Many people now have a card which enables them to 1. withdraw money from a 2. cash dispenser. You feed your card into the machine and key in your PIN (personal identification number) and the amount of money you want. If you have enough in your account, the money requested will be 3. issued up to a daily limit. Your account is automatically 4. debited for the amount you have drawn out.
Provided you have a sound 5. credit rating, you can get a credit card from a bank and other 6. financial institution. To obtain goods or services, you present your card and sign a special voucher. When it receives the voucher, the credit card company pays the trader (less a 7. commission) and then send you a monthly 8. slip. Depending on the type of card you have, you will either have to pay 9. in full or be able to pay part of what is owed and pay10. interest in the balance left 11. statement.
 If you need to make fixed payments at regular intervals, e.g. for insurance premiums, you can arrange a 12. credit transfer (sometimes known as a banker’s order) so that the bank will do this for you.
If you have several bills to pay, you can do this by 13. standing order . You write one cheque for the total sum involved, fill in a 14. outstanding for each bill and hand everything to the bank cashier.
The transfer system is also used by employers to pay 15. salaries directly into employees’ bank accounts.
If you are dealing with a supplier for the first time, a 16. banker’s draft may be used as payment. This is a cheque guaranteed by a bank and therefore it is not likely to ‘bounce’.

UK Unemployment Total Falls to 2.16m ( Economy News )


The number of people out of work fell by 161,000 to 2.16 million, bringing the unemployment rate down to 6.6%.
The number of people in work rose by a record 345,000, to 30.5 million, most of which are in full-time employment.
But the quarterly rate of earnings growth, including bonuses, slowed to 0.7% from 1.9% the previous month.
This was largely due to delayed bonus payments, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. Excluding bonuses, pay rose by 0.9%.
The total number of people out of work is now at its lowest level for more than five years, with youth unemployment, which covers 16-24 year olds, standing at 853,000.
The number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance in May fell by 27,400 to 1.09 million, the ONS said.
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted that the government had reached a "major milestone" in its long term economic plan, with "two million new private sector jobs since 2010".
Labour's shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves told the BBC that the slowing rise in wage increases meant that "even people in work are struggling to make ends meet".
Signs of strength
The continuing improvement in the jobs market in the three months to April
The number of jobs lost in the public sector was 103,000, but much of this this was down to the reclassification of employees of Lloyds bank from the public to the private sector. Taking out the Lloyds workers, 11,000 jobs were lost in the public sector.
There were 5.4 million people employed in the public sector and 25.1 million in the private sector, up 447,000 on the previous three-month period.
"The rise in employment this month is concentrated in full-time employees, not self-employment, which in the past has been used to 'talk down' the strength of the rise," said David Tinsley at BNP Paribas.
"Indeed, there was a sharp fall in the proportion of people working part-time who say they are doing so because they can't find a full-time job, which is one of the Bank of England's favourite metrics of disguised slack."
Wage 'concern'
Analysts said the ONS figures sent mixed messages to the Bank of England's interest rate-setting committee.
"Labour market strength is the driving force behind calls for interest rate increases from the Bank of England, sooner rather than later, and today's figures will add fuel to their fire," said Jeremy Cook, chief economist at World First.
"However, wage growth has fallen to 0.7%, versus an expected 1.2%, and this is still a major cause for concern. As a result I am still expecting the Bank to hold policy right through into the second quarter of 2015, mainly courtesy of the lack of real wage increases."
The inflation rate in the UK currently stands at 1.8%, meaning wages are increasing at a slower rate than prices.
"Weak pay growth and the 'cost of living crisis' remains the Achilles heel of the economic recovery," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit.
"But it should not be long until we see earnings growth accelerate as the labour market continues to tighten. Pay growth should pick up in coming months, perhaps significantly."
The figures for unemployment in the three months to April are based on the Labour Force Survey, in which the ONS speaks to 60,000 households once a quarter, making it the country's biggest household survey.
The ONS is 95% confident that the figure of a 161,000 fall in unemployment is correct to plus or minus 85,000 people.

Hunger Games

Resensi Film ( Hunger Games) Katniss Everdeen wakes up on the day of the reaping, when the tributes are chosen who will take part in the Hunger Games. Her mother and little sister, Prim, sleep nearby. Her father died in a mine explosion years earlier. She goes hunting in the woods outside her district, District 12, with Gale, her best friend. That night, at the reaping ceremony, the mayor gives a speech describing how the governments of North America collapsed and the country of Panem rose up in their place. A war ensued between the Capitol and the districts. The Capitol won, and as a reminder of their defeat, the Capitol holds the Hunger Games every year. The mayor then introduces Haymitch Abernathy, District 12’s only living Hunger-Games winner, and he’s so drunk he ends up falling in his own vomit.
The district’s female tribute is chosen, and to Katniss’s horror, it’s Prim. Katniss volunteers immediately in Prim’s place. Then the male tribute is selected. It’s Peeta Mellark, and Katniss remembers how years earlier, while searching for food for her family in the garbage bins behind the town shops, Peeta gave her bread from his family’s bakery. Katniss credits him with saving her that day. Katniss and Peeta say goodbye to their friends and families and board a train for the Capitol. During the trip, she and Peeta convince Haymitch, their mentor in the Games and the person responsible for getting them gifts from sponsors, to take his duties seriously.
Once there, Katniss meets with her stylist, Cinna, who is designing her dress for the opening ceremony. At the ceremony, Katniss and Peeta wear simple black outfits lit with synthetic flames. The outfits are a huge hit with the audience and make Katniss and Peeta stand out among the tributes. The next day, Katniss and Peeta attend group training, and the tributes from rich districts who have trained for the Games their whole lives, called Career Tributes, show off their skills. Later, the tributes are interviewed by Caesar Flickerman, a television host. In his interview, Peeta reveals that he’s had a crush on Katniss for several years.
Finally the time comes. From a small underground room, Katniss is lifted into the arena and the Games officially begin. All the tributes are there, and in front of her is the Cornucopia, which houses an abundance of supplies. Rather than fight, she runs away as Haymitch advised. She hikes all day before making camp. After dark, someone starts a fire nearby, and it isn’t long before a pack of Career Tributes arrives and kills the person. To Katniss’s shock, Peeta is with them. The next day Katniss goes in search of water. She walks for hours and collapses from exhaustion, but ultimately she finds a stream. She’s woken in the night by a wall of fire moving in her direction, and as she runs away one of the numerous fireballs falling around her grazes her leg, injuring it.
That night, while she hides in a tree from the pack of Careers below, she notices a young girl named Rue from District 11 in a nearby tree. Rue points out a nest of tracker jackers, wasps engineered by the Capitol to be lethal, over Katniss’s head, and Katniss cuts the branch holding the nest, dropping it onto the Careers. Two of them die from the stings and the rest scatter. Katniss is stung a few times as well, but as she’s running away, she remembers one of the girls who died had a bow and arrows, the weapons she’s become proficient with from hunting. She runs back to retrieve them, and Peeta happens to arrive as she’s grabbing the bow. He yells at Katniss to run just as Cato, a very large and dangerous Career from District 2, shows up. Peeta stops him so Katniss can escape, and she passes out in a ditch shortly after.
Katniss encounters Rue again, and the two quickly form a bond. They are able to get food hunting and foraging, and Katniss realizes that the Careers would have difficulty surviving without the supplies at the Cornucopia, so she and Rue devise a plan. While Rue lights decoy fires, Katniss sneaks up to the Cornucopia. The supplies are in a pyramid away from the main camp, and after the Careers leave to investigate the fires, Katniss manages to blow up the supplies by cutting open a bag of apples with her arrows, which sets off the mines set to protect the pyramid. When Katniss doesn’t find Rue at their meeting spot, she goes looking for her and finds her just as another tribute stabs her with a spear. Katniss kills the other tribute, and when Rue dies, she covers her body in flowers.
