Tips to help you succeed and thrive in the workplace

This year will be my 13 years in the work field.

These 13 years, I've been working at three different companies with various types of individuals and have experienced so many ups and downs at the workplace.

People said "Pengalaman mengajar kita", this is true!

I still remember vividly one incident at the workplace during my early day in work field, due to my lack of professionalism and communications, I can't control my face reaction over that incidents and this make that person feel kecil hati but gladly we make up after that and I said sorry for my mistake and behaviour.After this incident, I learned to be professional at workplace.

I'm definitely not a perfect employee or colleagues or team mate and I admit that I've make many mistakes and a lot of weakness but I learned from my mistakes and tried my best in everything I do and always remember to not keep do the same mistake.
