We've all witnessed men who have lost control of their emotions at work, slamming doors, yelling at coworkers or customers, and saying things they'll soon regret. We've seen men who've thrown tantrums at meetings because they've been overruled, their idea has been shot down or someone else has taken credit for their work.
As kids, we were taught to "act like a man" and suppress our feelings, and yet many of our coworkers are committing career suicide by losing control of their emotions at work.
How can we maintain our professionalism and handle emotions like a man? Here are some tips.
1- Take a walk to cool down
During a meeting, when someone insults your management style or criticizes the department you lead, don't react in anger. Remove yourself from the situation as soon as you feel yourself getting hot under the collar. Fake a page or another call to extricate yourself from a non-productive telephone call so you can step outside to calm yourself. Giving yourself time to cool down will help you regain control of your emotions.
2- Ask for clarification before reacting
Stall for time by asking questions. Is your boss asking what time you arrived because he's challenging your integrity or is he trying to start a conversation about the traffic jam on the off-ramp? If need be, repeat what the other person just said. This ensures you understand the comment and gives your colleague or client the opportunity to clarify any miscommunication.
3- Apply the 10-second rule
Ensure you're not overreacting. If you feel your temper flaring on the phone or in a meeting, count to 10 to keep you from losing your cool. Analyze the facts before going on a rant or becoming defensive.
4- Talk to someone who can calm you down
Always have someone to confide in, inside and outside of the office, about your frustrations. Go for a beer together on a regular basis to vent. You cannot keep all your feelings inside, or your health will suffer. Acknowledge and express your emotions appropriately with a close friend, and be prepared to listen whenever he's ready to explode, and both of your careers will benefit.
5- Work out to work off your anger
Don't blow your professional image by letting others see you freak out, pound the desk or scream. Go to the gym instead. Working out will help you release those pent-up emotions.
6- Recognize what ticks you off
Be alert to the types of situations that knock you off-center. If you don't like questions interrupting your presentation, plan how you'll handle any hecklers. Planning a positive way to react will help you defuse your anger before it throws you off. If you know you have a perfectionist, learn how to deal with it so it doesn't hurt your professional image.
Learn how to read your colleagues, and tell yourself to stay calm...
7- Understand your colleagues
Read your colleagues' signals. What initially seems to be a snide comment might be a feeble attempt at humor. By getting to know your coworkers' characters and personalities, you won't be blind-sided when they do or say something that irritates you.
8- Anticipate other people's reactions
When you're proposing a radical new work process or time schedule, you can be fairly certain your employees' first thoughts won't be about the cost savings and increased productivity. Focus on the personal benefits they will experience and you'll keep your own frustration in check. If your boss is constantly critical, anticipate his reactions to problems and proposals, and have persuasive arguments ready to get him on your side.
9- Prepare yourself to stay calm
Anticipate any objections or questions you might face when you're making a presentation, especially ones that might put you in a bad light. Create a backup plan if there's a technical glitch in case your PowerPoint presentation freezes on you. Before going into your Performance Review meeting, have some accomplishments ready to offset any negative feedback, so you don't respond in anger.
10- Wait before writing a strongly worded e-mail
Never disrespect others, even if you're right. It's easy to let contempt, fury or resentment cloud our judgment. Hold that strongly worded business e-mail or letter until the next day and reread it. Ask someone else to proofread any correspondence you think might be surly, condescending or rude.
11- Let go of your anger at the end of each day
Get into the habit of letting go of your anger as you leave work every day. Otherwise it could fester and make you more likely to blow your cool. Focus on doing something you enjoy once you leave the office, whether it's hanging out with friends or watching the game on TV, and leave the stress and emotion behind.
12- Apologize for any emotional outbursts
Despite your best intentions, if you end up erupting in a meeting, criticize a colleague's work or make ill-timed comments that you regret, how can you backpedal without losing face? Apologize immediately to the targeted person and to everyone around who may have heard. You don't need to offer a long-winded explanation of the pressures you were under, the background on the misunderstanding or the reasons you thought you were right. Saying "I reacted badly and I am sorry" will demonstrate your professionalism, integrity and leadership skills.
act like a man and move on
Strong leaders with strong characters will have strong feelings. That doesn't mean you should allow your emotions to control you, cloud your judgment and cause career missteps.
Recognizing the signs that you're getting angry will help you get over it quickly, without anyone noticing. Replacing your negative emotions with self-confidence and maintaining a healthy balance in your life will help you deal with difficult moments. No matter what, don't snap. It takes years to build up a reputation, and only seconds to destroy it.

Space is the limit........ bon chance !!!
Ini sudah hari ke 12 kerusuhan di Sekitar Paris, tepatnya di suburb Paris. Hari Presiden Jacques Chirac, mengumkan jam malam di beberapa tempat di luar Paris dimana terjadi banyak kerusuhan. Kerusuhan terparah dan berawal dari ST Denis, ngga jauh dari Paris. Mudah mudahan sich ngga sampai masuk ke Paris, walaupun beberpa hari yang lalu udah ada rang yang bakar Mobil di daerah Republique.
aku sempet ngobrol-ngobrol sama temen2 disini koq kenapa sich bisa terjadi hal kayak gini, mereka bilang itu adalah orang stupid yang membakar sekolah adik adik mereka, bakar mobil tetangga mereka bahkan rumah atau apartment mereka sendiri mereka bakar.... woowww sebodoh itukah mereka,......
kalau di liat dari tempat dimana terjadi banyak kerusuhan kebanyakan memang di daerah dimana banyak orang Africa dan arab keturunan, tapi mereka semua warna negara perancis, bukan imigrant gelap yang selama ini aku sangka, tapi pemerintah perancis sendiri mengakui ini bukan di gerakan oleh moslem garis keras atau gimana, cuman kebetulan aja orang arab ini mengaku beragama moslem, tapi sebagain yang Franco-Afrique juga beragama non moslem ada, terus kalau bukan masalah agama terus masalah apa donk......???
ngobrol-2 ternyata disini diskriminasi masih tetap ada, kenapa masih ada, ada banyak temen bilang ( saya ngga punya bukti otentik) bahwa kebanyakan mereka yang ngga happy alias yang bakar-bakar ini job less, mereka butuh kerja, sudah lama memang banyak pengguran di sini dan lapangan pekerjaan cukup sedikit yang terbuka, lalu di mana diskriminasinya, gini ada teman yang kebetulan expat dari Netherland yang cerita kalau selama dia disini banyak terima surat lamaran, tapi selalu ngga ada Photo, empty address, bahkan nama, cuman di tulis Monsieur XXX atau Madame YYY, kenapa sich ada banyak orang yang kirim kayak gini, si belanda ini penasaran, setalah di cari tahu kebanyakan orang yang kirim lamaran ini tahu kalau di photonya sudah ada tampang hitam putih atau arab, udah pasti ngga bakal di panggil, terus kalau ngga ada photo dan namanya udah nama arab idem ditto, atau kalau tinggal di distrik dimana banyak komunitas afrique dan arab sama aja. makanya dari pada di tolak di awal banyak orang yang melakukan ini, dan ngga sedikit dari mereka yang punya diploma, yang mereka harapkan di telpon aja udah bagus.
terus teman yang bilang emang sich jumlah lowongan pekerjaan yang tersedia sangat sedikit sekali, jadi kebanyakan perusahaan lebih memetingkan yang berkulit putih lebih dahulu walaupun sama sama parler Francais, aku ngga tahu ini temenku bener atau ngga.
memang terlihat sudah beberapa tahun ini banyak perushaan perancis yang menyerap banyak tenaga kerja sudah merelokasi perushaan ke Romania, Chine, atau India, karena biaya produksi disini sangat mahal seiring dengan sangat kuatnya euro terhadap dollar, jadi product - productnya juga harganya ngga kompetitif lag terpaksa lah pindah ke negara lain yang lebih kompetitif, jadi boleh di bilang banyak orang perancis yang ngga happy dengan imigran karena mereka ambil pekerjaan mereka, mereka juga ngga happy dengan China, India , romania gara-2 investor banyak lari kesana dan mereka kehilangan pekerjaan.
temen disini yang kebetulan keturunan arab, pernah bikin joke kayak gini.
Taqaballahu minna Wa minkum Wa syiyamana Wa syiyamakum Minal Aidin wal fa''idzin
qullu amin bikhair, Taqabal Ya Kariim,
sedihnya ngga bisa kumpul bareng dengan keluarga, tapi inilah hidup, dalam hidup kita tidak bisa selalu mendapat apa yang sempurna buat kita, bersyukurlah Allah masih memberikan kita karunia dan rahmat serta nikmat sehat, keimanan. adalah segalanya. maafkan ngga bisa pulang kampung dan berlebaran bersama, Insya Allah I will be there soon.
I would like to tell about the story for last trip in shanghai, bit lazzy two write it down about shanghai, for me not really much intersting because all the week is very busy with the work just hotel office, office hotel.
Finaly after strugle in China the mission done with great succesfull and have full support from collagues in France, even very tired I am happy. In the last day we have a good dinner with Chinesse team in one restaurant in down town of Pudong, Shanghai.
In the last day, I went to Fake market in Shanghai with Rama and his wife it was amazing you can find anything here and all is the fake one, from BVLGARI, Gucci, Luis Vitton, all the branded one are here and you could bargain the price, Luckyly Rama's wife can speak chinesse, she is doing study mandarin in one of university in Shanghai, and during the free time she is also doing tourist guide, it's amazing if she is not went out, I am sure I will be lost because taxi driver can't speak english, they only can say "yes", "no" without sure understood what we are saying. is more worse than in French for me, I have always asked to concierge to translate to chinesse character if I would like go somewhere. I learn something essential in China, "if you understand a local languages, you will never lose even you are in the himalaya mountain". Ya language is very important, this is a key to know everything. this is a key to open the door to broaden your life.
Direct flight from Pudong,Shanghai airport it take about 12 hours, just arrive this morning at 5.55 at Charles de Gaulle Airport , arrived in apartment at 6.15 am very tired, will telling you letter on about all story in Shanghai... I have to sleep
I am still in shanghai today, it was very busy since monday but today realized that the big job have been done, Shanghai and France are connected for 3G call, I will tell you about some story once come back to Paris, everything is interesting and you have to discover a new things...
Lagi siap-siap buat trip ke Shangai nanti malam, masukin pakain ke dalam koper check satu persatu, akhirnya terakhir adalah kaos kaki, hmmm aku jadi inget beberapa bulan lalu aku beli kaos kaki ini di Carefour Cempaka Mas, Khansa yang maksa aku ambil kaos kaki itu, padahal aku ngga gitu suka dengan warnanya nya sudah terlalu banyak biru, tapi dia maksa, aku tanya, "kenapa Harus kaos kaki ini, Sha" , dia senyum sambil bilang pokoknya Papa harus pake kaos kaki ini, sambil tersenyum kegirangan karena aku mengalah dan memasukan kaos kaki itu ke dalam keranjang.
waktu terus berlalu, dan aku kembali ingat saat masukin kaos kaki ini hmmm gambar shanghai dan aku akan kesana sebentar lagi, ngga ada relevansi yang penting dari cerita ini, hanya kesan yang amat mendalam terhadap Khansa, dan sikap aku yang berusaha menerima sesuatu yang mungkin kadang kita ngga suka just to be respect to her, aku harus menerimanya just to make her happy,
but I am happy too to go there and because of that I remember a sweet think in my life.
I try to call her, but she is not available, mamanya bilang lagi shalat Taraweh, thanks God was sent me an angel for my life.
A storm may rage in the world below,
It may tear great trees apart;
But here on the mountain top, I know
That it cannot touch my heart.
I have struggled up through the lightning's glare,
I have walked where the cliffs fell sheer
To a gorge below, but I breathed a prayer,
And my soul passed doubt and fear!
Here on the mountain top the air
Is clear as a silver song;
And the sun is warm on my unbound hair;
AND WHAT THOUGH THE WAY WAS LONG?
What though the way was steep and bleak,
And what though the road was hard?
I stand at last on the mountain peak,
With my eyes upraised to God!
A storm may sweep through the world below,
It may rend great rocks apart;
But here on the crest of the world I know
That it cannot touch my heart.

In the life, we will learn a lot of things. I have learned today that what ever you worked very hard and smart to make it happend some people around you will not take any decession to take the risk, with something you have been done, it means that work hard and work smart also is not enough, sometimes you should take decession to take a risk to do it by your self and off-course to convince people to take or to share a risk with you.
Normally the losser will never take any single risk even very small risk. But my understanding is "High Risk is High Gain" and not much people are dare to be......, Any way I have done the best effort and learn that so many people are affraid with the his/her shadows. Well done, I am happy, even the looser are not shown what I have been done, but I'm make it for my self and take a risk for my life. sometimes when you achieve something you will not be happy if some one else are not recognized it that you have done such a big things, just be humble
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Qualcomm has launched an astonishing attack on the Wi-MAX fraternity with the allegation that it has not substantiated its technical claims and has wildly under-estimated the costs of wide-area wireless network installation.
In a 32 page white paper released to worldwide telecom media yesterday, Qualcomm marketing EVP Jeff Belk has spectacularly upped the ante in his two year campaign to counter claims and what he says is "misinformation in the marketplace" about the capabilities of WiFi and WiMAX.
You can read the whitepaper for yourself by downloading it at: http://www.qualcomm.com/enterprise/pdf/WhyMAX_JBelk.pdf Or you can watch TelecomTV's recent interview with Mr Belk, in which he dismisses the WiMAX standard.
Belk's key contention is that turn-key WiMAX networks will face exactly the same costs and challenges as 3G networks when it comes to testing, the constraints of frequency wavelength on propagation, costs of tower sites and infrastructure and device availability. But they will lack the advantages of harmonised spectrum, a billion plus installed user base for mobiles and the advantage of rich streams of legacy voice revenues.
And crucially, with WiMAX standards still immature, Mr.Belk claims the major 3G standards have a massive headstart.
Belk is particularly critical of claims that WiMAX may be able to provide throughputs of up to 75Mbit/s at 50km.
"Hanaro Telecom in South Korea installed a massive amount of infrastructure and launched a WiBro (Korean Wi-MAX) network. Did they get 75Mbit/s at 50km? Nope. They got 500kbit/s to 2Mbit/s with cell sizes of 1-2km".
And even if WiMAX can become more technically competitive, Belk points to the limited use of Wi-Fi to suggest that WiMAX may struggle to become significant. He pointed to one of the large national Wi-Fi hotspot providers in the US, which recently claimed it had recorded 64 million minutes of paid use in one month.
"There are over 175 million (mobile) subscribers in the United States at over 750 minutes a month. This means over 127 billion minutes of use per month. We are talking about roughly a 2000-1 ratio here," he said. "So the WiMAX guys have a vague vision about metro coverage and in other areas about rural coverage. There are also vague statements on economies of scale and an intellectual property regime that is different from other wireless technologies."
He added; "However, there is a basic problem in that there has not been any examples of data-only systems being economically viable, and no discussion, if the Wi-MAX guys are going to do voice services, how they are going to penetrate a value chain and wireless ecosystem that will be rapidly approaching a billion units a year by the time the WiMAX guys get their act together. Let alone what frequency these alleged systems will operate at. Or how the standardisation issues get solved".
In its most biting passage, Belk's paper also disputes whether laptop manufacturers will happily incorporate WiMAX chips in their products, as is the hope of WiMAX promoter Intel.
"If you are a laptop manufacturer, you want efficient manufacturing and global service strategies," something, Belk adds, is not possible with mobile Wi-MAX over the next few years because it lacks a road-tested standard, has not been properly trialled for interference issues and works across so many frequency bands that it will become overly expensive to cater to them all
Alors, This weekend aku lumayan banyak aktivitas, hari jumat aku ambil cuti satu hari, karena aku memang ada rencana ke Tax consultant untuk interview masalah tax aku selama tinggal di sini.
setelah selesai dengan tax consultant dari PWC, aku ada rencana ke KBRI di paris, karena aku memang belum lapor dan pindah alamat walaupun aku sudah punya carte de sejours, cuma kalau ngga pindah alamat nanti bisa repot, anyway memang aku harus lapor lah wong di indoensia aja tamu harap lapor pak RT untuk 1x24 jam, heheheh masih ada ngga yaa aturan itu!!!
akhirnya sampai juga di KBRI, padahal kalau dari apartment aku ke KBRI sebenarnya ngga jauh paling 2-3 Km yaa cuman masalah waktu aja yang aku ngga sempet kesini... setelah registrasi aku harus nunggu dulu, terus mampir aja ke Koperasi dan membeli bumbu nasi goreng sama indomie dan gula merah, karena aku seminggu yang lalu beli jahe, jadi pengen bikin wedang jahe dengan gula merah. ternyata jumat ini ada beberapa rombongan anggota DPR dari komisi X yang yang ikut seminar di undang sama UNESCO, jadi sambil nunggu shalat jumat yaa kita ngobrol2 lah dengan para anggota dewan yang terhormat, mereka tanya aku sekolah disini..?? aku bilang ngga pak saya TKI di sini hahahhahha, dan meluncur cerita cerita mengenai indonesia, paris etc sebagai pengisi waktu, ngobrol hampir 30 menit para anggota dewan itu keluar dari KBRI dan kembali ke UNESCO karena ada rapat penting disana. terus aku yaa masuk ke aula untuk shalat jumat;
ada sedikit perasaan sedih, pada saat shalat jumat di bukan ramadhan, ada perasaan yang berbeda banget kalau shalat di masjid di paris atau bulogne dengan shalat di KBRI, I feel like at home. ah may be I just miss my country. setelah shalat selesai aku ngobrol-ngobrol sebentar dengan orang KBRI dan anak-anak Pelajar indonesia yang beberapa diantaranya aku kenal. setelah itu kembali ke bagian konsulat dan ambil passport yang sudah pindah alamat dan ini processnya gratuis.
balik dari KBRI aku pulang ke apartment pengen tidur siang hahahahahaha, sebelum sampai apartment Rudi, anak PPI paris yang ambil S3 disini telpon, dia ajak ngopi nanti malam dengan anak PPI lainnya dan ketemu sama orang TOTAL Indonesié, rencananya sich dia ajak buka puasa bersama, i said Ok deh. ternyata aku tertidur pulas dan baru bangun 20 menit sebelum buka puasa, I aku telpon Rudy, kalau aku ngga bisa ikutan buka bersama karena waktunya ngga ngejar untuk ke Saint-Michel dalam 10 menit, aku bilang in next 1 hours deh aku kesana. akhirnya yaa buka puasa di rumah untung ada indomie yang baru tadi di beli. terus kita ketemu di Saint-Michael, selain Rudi ada juga Romo siapa yaa aku lupa, dia juga sedang ambil S3 filsafat, Romo ini seorang pastur dan dia pengajar di salah satu universitas katholik di indonesia. akhirnya kita langsung meluncur ke Bastille, karena janjian disana jam 20h30, kita ketemu di depan opera bastille, dan beberapa anak2 PPI udah ada di sana. akhirnya kita kurang lebih ada hampir 15 orang termasuk teman2 dari TOTAL. ngobrol macem2 sampai jam 11.h30 terus bubar karena metro hampir finish.
Karena kemaleman Rudi yang ambil S3 di fontanableu harus nginep di rumah karena kereta yang kesana udah ngga ada, ok no problem. paling ngga ada ada temen sahur hehehe.
yaa kita ngobrol sampai jam 2 terus pada tidur, dan alarm bunyi jam 5.h30 bangun dan masak nasi goreng dengan sosis, telor, kacang polong dan ikan nugget untuk sahur. yaa beginilah nasib jadi anak kost,
jam 7 pagi Rudi udah cabut, karena dia mau packing rencananya dia mau pulang ke bandung tanggal 28 oct, dan keluarganya di bawa pulang juga dan bakal netep di bandung, sedangkan dia balik lagi dan mungkin akan setahun lagi di sini.
wah mata masih ngantuk tapi kalau tidur lagi nanti bisa kesiangan, aku ada janji sama Zitta, kita berdua mau ke Air France untuk ambil vaccine, jam 10h30 aku ketemu dia di Invalid metro, aku terlambat dikit gara2 ketinggalan RER C dan mesti tunggu 30 menit, kalaau metro tiap 10 menit ada, kalau RER wah lumayan lama, apalagi weekend.
dari metro invalid kita berdua jalan ke Rue d'la université 148, Air france Vaccine international, jadi tempat ini untuk vaccine buat orang yang mau mengunjungi satu negara, terus tempat ini ngga free kayak tempat vaccine yang lain yang di urus pemerintah, tapi tempat ini bukan dari senin sampai jumat jam 9-17 dan sabtu sari jam 9 sampai 16h00, udah gitu disini ngga perlu reservation, kalau tempat lain buka ngga tiap hari dan harus reservation. gitu dateng biasa register dulu kasih passport etc2, luamayan lama nunggu nya karena banyak visitor yang ambil vaccine, kayaknya pada mau yiapin perjalanan ke tempat yang hangat selama musim dingin december nanti. aku di vaccine DTP dan Influenza, aku harus bayar 48€ untuk dua vaccine ini dan aku harus ulangi untuk DTP bosster di bulan december, disini DTP wajib tiap 10 tahun sekali.
selesai dari sini kita berdua pergi ke la chappele, disini ada satu toko india namanya GOPAL, deket danget dari station metro, toko ini menjual banyak makanan asia termasuk indomie dan sambel indofood dan banyak makanan indonesia, terus terang harganya bersaing dari koperasi KBRI, hehehhe. disini aku sempet beli kerupuk udang asli dari indonesia, terus kacang hijau dan santan powder sama kamu manis, kayaknya enak nich bibin bubur kacang hijau, ngga lupa aku beli Kurma juga buat buka puasa, wah kayaknya tempat ini dan barbers bisa di jadiin tujuan mingguan untuk belanja, karena mudah banget cari halal food di daerah ini.
well oke lah balik ke rumah masing2, aku stop di jasmin zitta terus sampai pont de sévres,
bon weekend...
