We can start polishing from the wall at the back of the bed head to provide a point of interest. We can apply a different color or material so that the room comes with its own nuances. When using wall coatings, would be better if the colors can be combined to make it more attractive.

Use combination available in the shops wall cover. Combine color and pattern matching, so it is not difficult to be combined with other furniture.

For the sake of saving, we can use a combination of cover material wall with wall paint. For the separator can be given a border, either of wood or wall cover material itself.

Special to arrange a new room, we could try a combination of samples of materials, ranging from wall covered with furniture, flooring materials, up to the ceiling. It is important to maintain unity and harmony of the overall space. If we like the minimalist style, matching the motifs that are not crowded.

Like the classical style? You can choose to detail the motives are quite complicated. The style is pretty diverse up and pop-art style cartoons for children.

For floors, we can combine the two types of materials, such as parquet or ceramic tiles with the carpet. Choose a material as an accent or use materials that each indicate a higher hierarchy than other areas. Materials that will be the accent should appear only on a limited section of the floor.

Do not forget, adjust the colors in order to remain attractive to the eye. Accents can also be generated by combining the primary colors with other colors, both in the same dimension and the dimension is smaller or larger, can be cut in the corner and the other creations.

The size of the displayed texture of floor covering materials will strengthen the accent. The dimensions of the texture of small rocks on a bed of sand is an example that can be seen from everyday life.

Having your own vehicle would offer freedom in the set when you have to travel, or at least gone to the office. Luxury that is offered, including in addressing the limited public transportation schedules (eg commuter rail), to protect themselves from the rain, and avoid crowding the space with other passengers (of course, stuck in traffic matters will not be discussed here). Such as home, car prices also vary depending on brand and capacity of the car. For young families, has a low class cars MPV (capacity 1000-1300CC) and medium MPV (1600-1800cc), could be a parameter. Do not forget, the ability to provide fuel also taken into account. It’s useless if there is no gasoline car, right?

* Education to college for kids
Helping children get a decent education is also a primary goal of middle-class family. You know, the cost of education is currently so expensive. When to go to the Play Group alone has cost tens of millions of dollars, how much it cost to go to college someday? Choice of school or university is ultimately determined by the condition of the family-owned funds. Therefore many young families who are now investing to insurance education.

* Security at retirement
Everyone would like to be able to retire and continue to live with dignity. Pensions and awards show success after hard work done over the years. Everyone will want to have a certain amount of property that can be passed on to children and grandchildren after he retired. How much “legacy” is, of course depending on what you’ve invested as long as you are still productive work.

The success and prosperity of its value is different for each person. There may be people who are quite satisfied with his situation, as long as he could still meet the needs of daily life, and send their children to college. But there are also people who have made accomplishments in his life, still was not satisfied with its prosperity, and kept trying to accomplish a lot more.

Well, for those who are in the midst of this class, that’s middle class. That’s them, might be among you, who have been able to meet the needs of everyday life, and dreaming of the best education for children, and a holiday every year. The average person wants to achieve middle class status, no matter how much money he made. Not infrequently, they only meet the needs of mere worldly just so considered capable. In fact, there are many other needs that might come up unexpectedly.

Indeed, there are no official standards regarding the ability of these middle-class families. However, James W. McWhinney, financial writer at a number of sites and business magazine, says there are at least six financial aspirations to rely on in determining a middle-class family. You want to know if you have already achieved?

* Having your own home
Owning a home, means you have to buy a house with your own income, whether in cash or installments. Currently housing the middle class in cities like the capital buffer Tangerang, Jakarta, or Depok, offers a simple house from USD 300 million. In other big cities such as Surabaya, it costs not much different. The larger the fund, usually people tend to choose housing nearer to the capital area. Well, that previously you only rent housing, and managed to buy my own house, it means you have made certain achievements and prosperity.

Prof. Dr. Adler Haymans Manurung, professor of Asian Banking Finance and Informatic Institute (ABFI) Perbanas said, the food business has remained the number one. In addition to capital is not large, involving less labor, and the velocity of money in it very quickly. It could even be more than 100 percent.

But before the culinary business hope you succeed, you need to know some of the factors that influence whether or not developed a culinary business. Dr. Handito Joewono, from Arrbeys, strategy and marketing consulting firm, said the factors that make customers come first is the quality of food. This relates to flavor food and raw materials.

Quality of food is divided into two parts: the real quality and perceive quality. Real quality over the least tasty food, and raw material usage. As if there is a restaurant that makes rendang, coconut milk should be plenty.

“And the consumer will not like it. Many coconut milk instead cause illness later. So employers have to combine good culinary quality real well, “he explained.

For the middle to lower real quality becomes more important than perceive quality factor, because they prefer the taste. As for the upper middle, perceive quality factor becomes more important. Food is not just tasty, but the safety and comfort while dining is also considered. For example, taking into account health factors of food are made.

The second factor about the place. In the science standards, the place should be strategically located. But later, the place is not so to be an important element. Because there are several restaurant businesses, although not a strategic place, still in demand. Problems of this place, Handito stressed that there should be an important match between food and consumers the intended target.

The third factor is the perception. “Among other factors, this perception is the most important,” he said.

Perception is very important, especially for the newly opened culinary business. The perception could arise from the use of symbols, both in exterior appearance and interior room. In addition, the perception is also constructed of how to package the food, or how to serve customers. Perception is then people will always remember about a place to eat.

For small culinary businesses, three of these factors is sufficient. But for businesses that want to develop into larger, the fourth factor, namely the promotion, is absolutely necessary. The way to the current promotion stuff. Via the Internet, distribution of brochures, installation of banners, billboards, and others can become a media campaign. That there are two major campaigns, namely through the mass media and consumers to borrow tongue. Wearing this consumer tongue, the most effective promotion.

If the business has grown large restaurant, already has branches everywhere, the five factors that must be met is to have a standard operational procedure (SOP). Good for culinary franchised, or not. Of course using the same SOPs, among other resto resto one with a shelter under the same name and management, as well as forms of ministry. Both in the matter of choice made food menu, presentation, how to serve customers, up to the physical form looks.

In simple terms, futures are trading, commodities, currencies, or securities in a certain amount, with certain specified price level now, and commodity / financial instrument is delivered at a specific time in the future. People who do this transaction in the future expect prices will be higher, so that he can profit by buying now. While the option is the right to buy or sell a commodity, currency, or securities, at any given time, at a price in the future. In contrast to futures, options buyers are “not obligated” to make a purchase or sale, but only given the right to buy (call option) or sell (put option) only. Call option will be executed if the price at maturity is higher than the price agreed at the time of purchasing the option. Conversely, a put option will be executed if the price at maturity is lower than the agreed price at the time of the purchase option. While the warrant is a right or option given to the old shareholders to buy shares at a price (subscription price), the ratio and time. Warrants are similar to a call option, although they have fundamental differences.
# In general, investing in all three instruments are not in accordance with the teachings of Islam. In short, there are two main reasons behind it. First, it contains elements of all three instruments gharar (high uncertainty). In a sahih hadith narrated by Imam Muslim from Abu Hurairah ra, Rasulullah SAW is expressly prohibits buying and selling (by the way) gharar. Uncertainties that exist in all three transactions is very high. Second, the three instruments also contain elements of maysir (gambling). Maysir explicitly forbidden by Islam, as Allah SWT says in Surah 5: 90-91. With a pattern of transactions as described above, the space leading to speculation that gambling is very significant. Moreover, there are elements of a zero-sum game, where if one party benefits, then the other party must have suffered losses. In simple terms, the mechanism of short selling is divided into two stages, namely the short sale and repurchase. At this stage of short sale (short selling), an investor (eg Mr. X) F to brokers to borrow shares, which shares the F is also borrowed by the broker from other investors. Of course there are a number of fee (interest) to be paid Mr. X because of this stock lending. Then Mr. X F are sold stock to the market at a price of Rp M (current market price), with Mr. Y as a buyer. This is the first stage. Later in the second stage (stage repurchase), Mr. X will buy back shares at a price of Rp F N (the current market price). After that he will return the shares to the broker. Mr. X will get a profit if USD M> R N. Otherwise, Mr. X will incur a loss. This mechanism is of course not sharia-compliant for several reasons. First, there are elements of usury, because borrowing shares is carried out based on riba (see Surah 2: 275-281 on the prohibition of usury). Second, sell something that does not belong to us are not allowed in Islam. Rasulullah SAW said: “Thou shalt not sell stuff that is not yours” (Abu Daud, Tirmidhi, Nasa’i, Ibn Majah and Ahmad). Mr. X in this case the stock traded that was not hers. Third, there is an element maysir or gambling, because the element of speculation is very apparent in this transaction

Questions are inherently more interesting than statements, and posing a question is far more likely to generate a dialogue than simply stating something or providing a link to your blog post or press release.

Here are a few quick examples. Say you’re working for Apple and dealing with constant press questions about what features the new generation of iPhone will have. You can’t divulge it yet, but neither can you maintain complete silence. Instead of letting the press and public know tiny bits of information (monologue), engage in a dialogue. Ask reporters and customers, “What features would you like to see in the new iPhone?”

You can apply the dialogue idea anywhere: politics, business, professional sports, authors, rock stars. Instead of sending a press release announcing the tour dates for U2, ask fans which cities should be on the tour.

Rather than having the press shop of the Seattle Mariners tell reporters and season ticket holders about special promotions and events for the season, start a dialogue earlier by asking them for their ideas of what they’d like to do or see, what worked or didn’t work.

Hillary Clinton did a good job of opening up a dialogue when she ran for the U.S. Senate in New York.

It’s easy for political candidates to fall into the monologue trap, to talk about themselves, their qualifications, their resumes, their policy positions. It’s hard to make it about the citizens. She did it by traveling around the state — especially upstate New York — on a listening tour.

She had a dialogue. She listened first and talked second. The press and public paid a lot more attention to that listening tour than they would have if she’d done the usual schedule of stump speeches, showing up in town after town to say the same thing over and over again.

Would a typical stump-speech tour have kept Clinton on message? Sure. But it’d be the modern equivalent of repeating the same tweet on Twitter hour after hour until people tuned you out.

Spend more hours each week on your job hunt. Finding a job is a job! Treat your job hunting just as you would a normal job and work a normal number of hours per week, at least 35, preferably 40 in the process. This will cut down dramatically on the length of time it takes you to find work. Did you know that the average person in the job market only spends 5 hours or less per week looking for work? With that statistic, it isn’t surprising that it can be a long, tedious process. Improve your chances and demonstrate your discipline and determination. Devote Sundays to answering ads and planning your strategy for the next week. Don’t spend precious weekday hours behind a computer. You need to be out there researching leads, networking, and interviewing. Work smarter for yourself!

• Concentrate your job hunt on smaller companies. Most new jobs will come from smaller, growing companies, typically with fewer than 500 employees, not large, restructuring companies. Although larger employers are more visible, well known and aggressive in their search for employees, it is with the smaller companies that you may have the best chance of success in finding work. Pay particular attention to those companies that are expanding and on their way to prosperous growth…they are easier to approach, easier to contact important personnel, and less likely to screen you out.

Pick out the employers that interest you the most from any source available (web listings, yellow pages, newspaper ads, etc.), and obtain their address. Appear on their doorstep at your first opportunity with resume in hand. Even if you don’t know anyone there, this job hunting method works almost half the time, if you are diligent and continue your pursuit over several weeks or months.

• Ask relatives and friends about jobs where they work. Ask every relative and friend you have now or have ever had about vacancies they may know about where they work, or where anyone else works. It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes an entire network to find a new job! If you tell everyone you know or meet that you are job hunting and that you would appreciate their help, you more than quadruple your chances of success.

• Search hidden job markets. Networking is the “Hidden Job Market.” Because every time you make contact with a person who is in direct line with your career interest, you set up the possibility that he or she will lead you to more people, or to the job you are seeking. People are connected to one another by an infinite number of pathways. Many of these pathways are available to you, but you must activate them to make them work to your advantage. Most of the available jobs are in the hidden job market. They aren’t listed in the classifieds or placed with a headhunter. Find them through your network of contacts. This is your most valuable resource!

• Ask a professor or old teacher for job-leads. No one knows your capabilities, dedication, and discipline better than a teacher or professor who had the opportunity to work with you in school. Since more people find their work through direct referral by other people than by any other way, this is a target audience you don’t want to miss

Is a job change in order? Peruse the most effective ways to job hunt. If it’s time for new beginnings, and if you’re searching for a job, it’s a good time to make sure your priorities are in check. Begin with some basic soul-searching, move to creative networking, and conclude with the foremost ways to investigate prospective companies. These are all sure strategies for getting a competitive edge in the job market. But finding a job means more than being competitive. In the bewildering new world of technology-online boards, career centers, and growing numbers of complex web sites-it also means knowing your way around. Here are 25 tips to learn how to maximize your time, your effectiveness, and your chances of success in your next career search!

First and foremost-take a personal inventory. Job hunting gives you the opportunity to go back to “square one” and inventory all over again what you are all about, what skills and knowledge you have acquired, and what you want to do. Who are you? What do you want out of life? A job? A career? Where are you going? Do you know how to get there? Have you been happy in your work/career/profession? What would you like to change? An inventory such as this is the best job hunting method ever devised because it focuses your view of your skills and talents as well as your inner desires. You begin your job hunt by first identifying your transferable, functional, skills. In fact, you are identifying the basic building blocks of your work.
