ursuit of !nowledge and hard wor! to achieve something that we dream for the future interests. (ther that, Mydin Mohamed &oldings 'erhad had its humble beginnings bac! in )*+, in the same year that Malaysia got its inde endence. &is first sho was in Kota 'aru, Kelantan where he catered to the needs of the 9ndian Muslim community. 4ollowing his success in Kelantan, he decided to o en another branch in the heart of Kuala :um ur at the Mas;id <ame! area. 4rom there on, through sheer hard wor! and !een business acumen, there was no turning bac!. #oday, Mydin is the largest local wholesaler in Malaysia that serves all communities. Mydin has to be constantly on its toes to cater to its customers ever-changing needs. #his means that Mydin has to rovide its roducts at the right time and at the right rice to the right customer while ensuring e5cellent service. 'ased on the story of Mydin we can also learn that res onsibility is very im ortant inside ourselves. 4urthermore, doing ;ob with full of res onsibility rovide good =uality of the result and doing with ;oyful without stress and feeling selfish. #rust is a value that is em hasis by Mydin managing things. 4rom Mydin story, we can ta!e teaching whereas trust is a res onsibility that can lead to the trust and confidence of others toward us .4or e5am le, 4amily Mydin adhere to honesty in the family and among their em loyees wor!ing. $efection never ha ened which dar!ens sho su ervisor roceeds from the sale. $isci line, although difficult to do, had to be ta!en immediately after roving fault, by terminating the em loyee services. Management can forgive mista!es, but not if it involves fraud and dishonesty. 9ndirectly, this is a lesson to us that this success to his attitude is the result of a very firm and honest in assing something. #herefore, we as students should follow the e5am le of doing things let honest and do the ;ob with full trust. 'ased on the success story of Mydin Mohamed various teaching or good value that we can emulate, which is inde endent. Where Mydin Mohamed ca able of doing things inde endently. &e has been selling on a small scale at first to use their own ca ital money, from wages to wor! as subordinate to others. #hrough this ins iration that we can get something we want we can get without the hel of others to be inde endent. 4or e5am le if we want to succeed in our study can be inde endent of others to learn without direction and without the hel of others. Mydin is re ared to do something without relying on others. &e was willing to start a business by yourself without the hel of others even lace he wants to

start a business is a new and he did not have the contacts or family there. 4rom this we can learn that if we are willing to do anything even difficult for us to be able to succeed even without the hel of anyone. 4or e5am le, if we want to had a very good results in the e5am we have to be inde endent and to forget slee to study hard to get what we want without hel from my friends. 'esides the attitude that we should learn is rational. Mydin Where can thin! on the situation and the needs of customers with recision. &e7s able to thin! rationally re=uirements and customer re=uirements, as an e5am le when he suffered a flood, all the other stores close u sho , but he does not because he !nows a lot of customers who re=uire their sho !ee ers to urchase their daily needs even at a time when flooding occurs. 4rom here other than to meet the needs of customers Mydin has achieved a rofit for the basic needs of flood time is in demand. 4rom this we should learn that we must thin! in rational decision-ma!ing we do not necessarily have to be selfish but also hel others. %dditionally Mydin was minded to ta!e action based on rational ;udgment. 4or e5am le when it occurs he was thin!ing ro erly when groceries were sold but still high demand from customers, so he too! the a ro riate action by ordering goods the customer7s re=uest and he has used a s eedboat to get goods order. We can ta!e a lesson from this that we should be fair-minded and always thin!ing of new ways to get what we want. 'ased on the story of Mydin we can also learn that it is im ortant for us to maintain the tradition of our family. Where Mydin has received, and res ects the customs and beliefs of inherited habit and custom family for generations. Mydin have gained trust and maintain the tradition of the family through marriage that has been designated by the family. &e has received the girl of his arents choice as a wife without ob;ection. While going through a rearranged marriage she was living ha ily with his wife and children. 4rom this we can learn that the wedding has been set family does not necessarily end in se aration. %dditionally Mydin also educate their children to !ee the family tradition and be grateful with what you have. 4or e5am le when one of her children had com lained that he was tired of eating the same food, she had advised her daughter and teaching her daughter to give her bac! to eat the same food for three days. 4rom this we can learn that we are always grateful for everything we have for granted, and we should always maintain, traditions and customs of our families that no matter where we are family traditions and customs of our family is not e5tinct through time.

We can also ta!e lessons through Mydin story that we should be able to live together eacefully in s ite of all races. Where we should live together in eace and mutual befriend each other without conflict with the riority of universal eace and ros erity of other eo le regardless of religion or race, res ectively. %s Mydin and his family were doing, where they managed to live with indian, chinese and malay same house and share a !itchen with no conflicts between them. #hey have been living customs and a lac! of mutual understanding of each and res ecting each other ractice. 4rom this we should learn a lesson that if we want, we can live in eace and harmony without the fighting and bic!ering between the races with res ect religion and customs of each other. 6ince we live in a multi-racial country so mutual res ect for each other is very im ortant to maintain the eace and ros erity of our country so that our country is not crushed and bro!en to ieces. 9n addition to the lessons that can be ta!en is concerned with reserving the rights of wor!ers and subordinates. %s the owner of a su ermar!et Mydin, Mydin has ensured the rights of the em loyees are always rotected. &e has values and res ects all hi wor!ers. &e also has to recogni8e their service and also a reciated the merits and contributions of its em loyees. We see through the activities he did for his em loyees, where he held a family day for em loyees and an annual dinner he had to show that he is concerned about its em loyees. #his attitude is very im ortant for us to emulate if we have subordinates, it is also very im ortant to be emulated by the owners of the other com any because of this attitude can strengthen bonds between us and the wor!ers thus increasing res ect for our em loyees. #his will be easy for us to get a loyal em loyee and always res ect us.
