Analisis SWOT terhadap kepribadian diri sendiri

 Tugas I

Nama saya Vierena Tirza Dwivantiara. Saya adalah seorang Mahasiswi Jurusan Akuntansi semester 7 di Universitas Gunadarma. Saya akan bercerita sedikit mengenai alasan saya mengapa saya memilh untuk melanjutkan pendidikan di bidang yang saya pilih ini. Awalnya saya menjadikan bidang ekonomi sebagai pilihan kedua dalam pertimbangan saya untuk melanjutkan pendidikan di jenjang perguruan tinggi. Dan sebelumnya sama sekali tidak terpikir dalam benak saya bahwa saya akan berkuliah di perguruan tinggi swasta. Saya mencoba berbagai usaha untuk bisa lolos ujian masuk perguruan tinggi negeri. Usaha saya tidak sia-sia, karena pada akhirnya saya dapat meraih salah satu kursi di PTN di Bali dengan bidang jurusan hukum.

            Orang tua dan keluarga saya tentu bangga dengan apa yang sudah saya raih. Kamipun memulai segala administrasi yang diperlukan untuk saya dapat menjadi Mahasiswi resmi di Universitas Udayana. Namun Tuhan berkehendak lain. Seminggu setelah orang tua saya melakukan pembayaran, saudara saya yang sebelumnya akan menampung saya selama tinggal di Bali ternyata harus pindah ke Florida karena urusan pekerjaannya. Orang tua saya tentu kecewa, terlebih lagi saya. Orang tua dan keluarga saya khawatir jika saya harus tinggal di Bali tanpa satupun sanak saudara yang kenal tinggal bersama saya. Akhirnya dengan berbagai pertimbangan, dengan berat hati orang tua saya membatalkan keputusan mereka untuk menguliahkan saya di Universitas Udayana.

            Saya sendiri frustasi karena semua ujian masuk perguruan tinggi negri sudah ditutup. Karena alasan yang demikian, akhirnya sayapun didaftarkan di Univeritas Gunadarma jurusan Akuntansi. Memang, awalnya saya sangat terpaksa kuliah di Universitas Gunadarma. Dua semester saya jalani tanpa niat dan tekad yang penuh. Namun semua hanya terjadi sampai semester dua. Saat semester tiga, saya mendaftarkan diri sebagai anggota BEM Fakultas Ekonomi Universitas Gunadarma dan saya lolos. Dengan menjadi pengurus BEM saya banyak sekali mendapat pengalaman selama masa perkuliahan.

            Itulah sedikit cerita mengenai saya, dan saat ini saya akan mencoba menganalisis kemampuan diri saya melalui analisis SWOT dan dengan faktor-faktor yang terjadi selama saya menjalani perkuliahan di Universitas Gunadarma. Sebelumnya tentu kita juga harus memahami apa yang dimaksud dengan analisis SWOT.

            Setiap orang memiliki potensi dan kemampuan yang luar biasa. Namun dibutuhkan jangka waktu lama untuk mencapai semua hal yang mampu dikerjakan. Sayangnya, manusia hanya punya satu kesempatan saja dalam hidup ini karena waktu terus berjalan dan tak bisa kembali.

Menurut saya, otak merupakan potensi dan kemampuan yang luar biasa dimiliki oleh setiap orang. Jelas, kekuatan yang dianugerahkan Tuhan kepada saya berupa otak ini dapat berfungsi mengolah data dari berbagai masukkan kegiatan atau pengalaman sebelumnya, otak selalu memproses data yang ada didalam kemudian menginterpretasikan kembali data masukan tersebut menjadi sebuah kegiatan atau perbuatan yang bisa mendatangkan timbal-balik yang bagus berupa prestasi. Kehebatan dari kekuatan otak dapat mengontrol diri dari kelemahan yang saya miliki sehingga menjadi sebuah otomatisasi tertanam dalam pola pikir khusus menuju perubahan. kata kunci dari kesuksesan adalah perubahan, kenapa saya katakan demikian? Karena mulai dari bahan baku kelemahan/ketakutan yang diproduksi bayangan masa lalu dirubah oleh otak menjadi sebuah produk aksi yang luar biasa sebagai alat untuk mencapai prestasi yang kita cita-citakan dari mengoptimalkan setiap peluang yang ada.

Singkatnya, SWOT merupakan akronim dari Strength (kekuatan), Weakness (kelemahan), Opportunity (kesempatan) dan Threat (hambatan/ancaman). Analisis SWOT adalah sebuah analisa yang dicetuskan oleh Albert Humprey pada dasawarsa 1960-1970an. Analisis SWOT digunakan untuk menghadapi segala ancaman dan hambatan di masa yang akan datang serta untuk mempersiapkan diri dari berbagai perubahan sosial yang ada agar sesuai dengan harapan dan cita-cita kita. Secara ilmiah analisis SWOT juga diartikan sebagai metode atau cara untuk menggambarkan kondisi atau mengidentifikasi masalah berdasarkan faktor internal maupun faktor eksternal. Analisis SWOT menggambarkan apa yang terjadi, bukan sebagai pemecah masalah. Saya akan mencoba untuk menganalisis SWOT yang ada pada diri saya mulai dari sekarang hingga setahun ke depan. Apa saja potensi yang bisa berpengaruh pada karir atau aktivitas serta hambatan-hambatan yang ada ke depan agar saya bisa mempersiapkan diri lebih baik. Tujuan utama saya dalam setahun ke depan  adalah lulus kuliah dengan nilai cumlaude. Dengan nilai cumlaude dan lulus tepat waktu saya berharap dapat dengan mudah mendapatkan pekerjaan yang sesuai potensi dan tentunya sesuai dengan harapan serta cita-cita saya. Sehingga saya dapat membantu orang tua dalam memenuhi kebutuhan rumah tangga sehari-hari dan membahagiakan kedua orang tua saya pastinya.

How to Quickly Learn English with 3 Easy Steps

An easy way to learn English - Maybe you are looking for a lot on how to quickly learn English and how to speak, write, and memorize all the rules of grammar in English. Learn English much make students frustrated, because they do not know how the right method. As a result, the learning they do of course in vain and do not produce results significantly.

In a quick way to learn English, there are actually only three easy steps that you can apply and produce good results. The steps we will describe briefly below.

Ø  Focus on not only the input and output

Most students and teachers of English provides an understanding that the key lies in the mastery of the language written and spoken. Indeed, it is not wrong because a lot of people who directly practice speaking boldly, he will get used and then gain the ability to speak English well.

But for faster, one should also hone the ability to hear. The ability to listen is one of the keys to success in learning English. For that you have to spend countless hours to listen to English songs, English subtitles, and of course the English-language film.

By listening to a variety of words in the English language for a long time, the ability to listen can be increased considerably. Surprisingly, you will also improve by leaps and bounds in the context of speaking. The situation has been proven and then, you should be the next person to prove this.

Ø  Grammar is important, but do not be too charged

Grammar is important for you as a student. Why is that? Because the status of English in Indonesia is a foreign language, not the native language, or a second language. Thus, the grammar is a must to learn.

However, do not think of grammar as a load that requires you to adjust it as perfect as possible. In terms of writing, grammar is important of course, but in speaking English, we can provide a bit of tolerance with grammatical mistakes or grammar. However, the intent of the words we utter should be kept clear.

Grammar is important, but not to beat our courage to express in English.

Ø  Repeat and then go slow

The key in a quick way to learn English is to slow down and keep repeating. At school, students read the text too fast then the teacher provides materials with an attitude as if overtaken by time. As a result of understanding is often not optimal. Students will only get short-term memory and the teacher is difficult to succeed in teaching.

A study shows that repetition is performed continuously and in a slower tempo will result in better learning achievements. Students must obtain materials with repeatability up to a dozen times. With the repetition, then formed a long-term memory. Then, the students were able to learn English better, and certainly effective.

That's 3 major steps in a quick way to learn English. Good luck and may you succeed

News : "Man opens fire on Americans in Kabul; 9 dead"

Eight U.S. service members and an American civilian contractor were killed Wednesday in a shooting at an Afghan air force compound in Kabul, officials said.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan said an Afghan military pilot opened fire on international troops, sparking a "gunfight." The Taliban, however, claimed responsibility for the attack and said it had been working with the shooter for some time -- an assertion that NATO denied.

The shooting started at the Afghan national air force compound at North Kabul International Airport after an argument between an Afghan pilot and an international colleague, officials said. The NATO-led force said an Afghan military pilot opened fire on international trainers and a "gunfight" ensued.

"A 50-year-old man opened fire at armed U.S. military soldiers inside the airport after an argument between them turned serious," said Col. Baha Dur, chief of public relations for the Afghan National Army at Kabul military airport.

NATO said the confrontation took place at 10:25 a.m. at the airport, where a quick reaction force responded to a "small arms fire incident." The airport is home to NATO Air Training Command Afghanistan.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the killings "by an Afghan military pilot."

Zaher Azimi, a spokesman for the Afghan Defense Ministry, said the killings upset Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak and that "he shares the pain with the families of the victims."

Despite the account by international troops, a Taliban spokesman said a man named Azizullah was responsible.

"One suicide attacker ... managed to attack an Afghan military unit and has managed to kill many Afghan and international soldiers," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said.

The Taliban said the man killed nine foreigners and five Afghans before being killed by the Afghan army.

"We had worked hard on this plan for a long time," Mujahid told CNN. "He was cooperating with us since long time and he was providing us information about military air operations for a long time."

NATO disputed the Taliban claim.

"We do not know why it started but there is no indication that a suicide bomber was involved and there are no reports that someone managed to get into the base to do this," the NATO-led force said in a statement.

The Taliban has claimed responsibility for previous conflicts between NATO service members and members of the Afghan military. CNN could not independently verify the group's claims.

The Taliban said the man was once a pilot in an Afghan regime in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

"Since the current Afghan air forces have no planes so, he was just going to Kabul airport to show up and earn his salary for a long time," Mujahid told CNN.

The man "was holding the rank of colonel at the time and he had an AK-47 with him. After his bullets were finished, then he was shot to death by armed forces," Mujahid told CNN.

There was confusion about the death toll. The NATO-led force initially said six service members were killed. It raised that toll to nine but backed away temporarily before saying again that the shooting killed nine people -- eight international service members and a civilian contractor. The Pentagon confirmed that all were Americans.

Violence between Afghan forces and NATO troops is a matter of extreme concern for NATO officials, and it is growing in frequency.

There have been 36 NATO deaths in the past two years attributed to attacks by people perceived to be Afghan soldiers or police. Officials fear that the increasing frequency of the attacks could undermine trust between NATO troops and the Afghans they are working hard to prepare so they can eventually take over security in the country.

The Taliban's claim that the Afghan gunman was their recruit follows a now familiar pattern of the insurgency stating that attacks are theirs, even though NATO later suggests the gunman was acting out of personal motivation.

Out of 16 incidents of Afghan forces shooting NATO personnel that NATO has investigated, eight have been determined to be motivated by combat stress on the part of the Afghan attacker. The other eight investigations are undetermined.

Banking Services

Fill each blank in the text with the correct word or phrase. Choose from the following list. Use each item once only.

commission                 issued                          statement                    credit rating

debited                                    outstanding                 withdraw                     credit transfer

in full                           salaries                                    banker’s draft             financial institutions

interest                                    slip                               cash dispenser             standing order

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 pay 10. 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, a16. banker’s draftmay be used as payment. This is a cheque guaranteed by a bank and therefore it is not likely to ‘bounce’.

The other two movies (including Toy Story 3) simultaneously released with First Love dropped to 3rd and 4th respectively. The film managed to maintain its position in 3rd place the following weekends and stayed inside the top 5 for six consecutive weeks. The film was shown in cinemas for nearly ten weeks (until October 2010) - making it one of the longest running movies in Thailand cinemas. In total, the film got an excellent gross of $2,659,443, becoming 8th highest gross movie of 2011 (beating Prince of Persia, The Chronicles of Narnia, Inception, Step Up 3-D, Alice in Wonderland, Tron Legacy), and the second highest grossing local produced film in Thailand.

By early 2011, copies of the film were uploaded on the Internet. Several countries got interested to get the rights to broadcast or release the film. Since then, some audiences got also a high interest to watch the film in their countries.
