Business Rules to Live By
- If you can’t get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights.
- A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.
- Don’t be irreplaceable, if you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.
- It doesn’t matter what you do, it only matters what you say you’ve done and what you’re going to do.
- After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
- You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.
- Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.
- When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.
- If at first you don’t succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
- There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.
- Keep your boss’s boss off your boss’s back.
- Everything can be filed under “miscellaneous.”
- Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.
- To err is human, to forgive is not our policy.
- Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn’t the work he/she is supposed to be doing.
- Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.
- If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.
- You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.
- People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn’t.
- If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would get done.
- At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.
- When you don’t know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
- Following the rules will not get the job done.
- Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.
- When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, “How would the Lone Ranger handle this?”
- No matter how much you do, you never do enough.
- The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong.
Right?

Surabaya, Produsen software terbesar di dunia Microsoft, mendesak kepolisian melakukan razia software bajakan sesegara mungkin. Karena razia itu bertujuan untuk pembelajaran terhadap masyarakat.
“Bukan hanya dilihat dari urgent atau tidak urgent-nya, melainkan melihat proses pembelajaran masyarakat” kata General Manager Microsoft Market Development Partner East Java Antonius Agus A. kepada detiksurabaya.com, Senin (25/6/2007).
Diharapkan dengan adanya razia, akan ada proses pembelajaran masyarakat untuk menggunakan software asli. “Harus dimulai razia ini,” pintanya.
Dia menambahkan, waktu razia bukan merupakan kewenangan dari pihaknya. Mengenai waktu, semuanya diserahkan kepada pihak Kepolisian. “Terserah pihak yang berwajib,” tegas Anton.
Anton menuturkan, razia selain mengurangi penggunaan software bajakan, juga merupakan langkah edukatif agar masyarakat mulai menggunakan software asli.
Seperti diketahui, pihak Kepolisian telah melakukan kesepakatan untuk memberantas penggunaan software bajakan. Terutama yang digunakan untuk kepentingan bisnis.

Software Ilegal? Penegakan HAKI? Penting sih, buat memajukan ITnya Indonesia. Coba bayangin kalo ga ada penghargaan terhadap industri software? kalo smua software2 dibajak?
kenapa sih orang-orang pada hobi beli bajakan? Ya iyalah, dengan 25rb bisa beli 1 cd software di ambasador, 35 rb 1 dvd, sedangkan kalo dengan jalan pertemanan cuma perlu beli cd/dvd blank aja. Bandingkan dengan membeli yang original yang harganya bisa ratusan atau jutaan rupiah.
Tapi kalo dipikir pikir sih, kalo kita beli bajakan, brarti kita memperkaya sang pembajak, karena duitnya masuk ke kantong si pembajak, bukan ke si developer.
Kalo begini keadaannya, industri software lokal bisa sekarat. Makanya jarang ada developer commercial yang mengembangkan produk software retail, banyakan ke segmen corporate yang sedikit tapi marginnya besar.
(duh kok kadi bingung ya?? )
Jadi usul saya, mending beli bajakan buat software-software dari perusahaan software besar kayak M$oft, sedangkan software-software lokal beli yang originalnya. Hidup produk lokal!
If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Dear Sir
I am the first of what is likely to be all of the skilled staff to resign from what is likely to be the shell of your company. A combination of directors threatening and blackmailing each other, and the constant bitching of the managing director has forced me to consider my position at this time as being untenable.
An offer of 1 million pounds plus free sex with a page three girl could not convince me to stay with your company. A position of junior goat herder in Mongolia would be a more positive career step, than staying here. What a shame. Our group have worked well, but, yet have been criminally overlooked.
Finally: If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Yours Sincerely,
xxx
I wish, i could write this letter one day
