HOW I REACT WHEN FACING PROBLEMS !!!

7 Strategies to Face Life's Challenges

In our personal lives, and on a global scale, we face challenges that test our emotional mentle injury, illness, unemployment, grief, divorce, death, or even a new venture with an unknown future. Here are seven strategies to help carry us through:

1. Turn Toward Reality

So often we turn away from life rather than toward it. We are masters of avoidance! But if we want to be present to enjoy life and be more effective in it we must orient ourselves toward facing reality. When we are guided by the reality principle, we develop a deeper capacity to deal with life more effectively. What once was difficult is now easier. What once frightened us now feels familiar. Life becomes more manageable. And there’s something even deeper that we gain: Because we can see that we have grown stronger, we have greater confidence that we can grow even stronger still. This is the basis of feeling capable, which is the wellspring of a satisfying life.

2. Embrace Your Life as It Is Rather Than as You Wish It to Be

The Buddha taught that the secret to life is to want what you have and to not want what you don’t have. Being present means being present to the life that you have right here, right now. There is freedom in taking life as it comes to us the good with the bad, the wonderful with the tragic, the love with the loss, and the life with the death. When we embrace it all, then we have a real chance to enjoy life, to value our experiences, and to mine the treasures that are there for the taking. When we surrender to the reality of who we are, we give ourselves a chance to do what we can do.

3. Take Your Time

As the story of the tortoise and the hare tells us, slow and steady wins the race. By being in a hurry, we actually thwart our own success. We get ahead of ourselves. We make more mistakes. We cut corners and pay for them later. We may learn the easy way but not necessarily the best way. As an old adage puts it: The slower you go, the sooner you get there. Slow, disciplined, incremental growth is the kind of approach that leads to lasting change.

4. Practice Gratitude

It is easy to count our troubles rather than our blessings, but such an attitude undermines our ability to draw from the good that we have been given and to see our lives fundamentally as a gift. A change in perspective can make all the difference. Recognizing the good and receiving it with gratitude is a recipe for emotional health and well-being. This attitude enlarges the possibility that we can make use of the good we have been given and even use it to cope with the difficulties that we inevitably inherit.

5. Stay Close to Your Feelings, Even the Painful Ones

source:google

Often we find our feelings scary, heavy, and confusing, so we try to keep them at a distance. But we need our feelings in order to find satisfaction, meaning, and pleasure in life. Getting rid of feelings not only backfires but it also drains us of the psychological energy that makes life worth living. Feelings are the gas in the engine of our personalities. They are the source of motivation. They are the energy, the vitality, the juice of life. Without them, our lives wouldn’t have any personality, dimension, or color. There wouldn’t be any joy, creativity, or fun. There wouldn’t be you. There wouldn’t be me. Without our feelings, nothing would really matter.

6. Accept Success and Failure as Part of Life’s Journey

source:google

We are all learning: No one gets it right every time. A more compassionate attitude toward ourselves only helps us to stay in the game. The dynamic process of life trying, succeeding, failing, and trying again is the only way to develop lasting confidence in ourselves. We learn through experience that we can both succeed and recover from failure. We also learn to be humble and so to develop a view of ourselves as limited creatures that will always need the help and support of others. No matter how mature or successful we become, the child within always will need mentors and friends who’ll see us through.

7. Tend to Your Loving Relationships

source:google

It is easy to neglect what matters most: our relationships with those we love. These relationships don’t just happen magically; they grow and are sustained through attentive care and hard work. Mature love in marriage, family, or friendships is a dynamic, living experience. It is something you choose every day. It is something that is earned every day. It requires commitment to keep it working. It involves a daily process of overcoming the distance and honoring the separateness between us. It accepts the reality that we will hurt one another and be hurt by one another. It is the nature of being human. These pains cannot be avoided. We can only devote ourselves to do what we can do to weather them and to mend them. Love, then, is essentially repair work. We tend to the hurts. We try to heal them. We express our concern. We take responsibility for our mistakes; we learn to say we’re sorry. We try to make amends. We learn to forgive; we accept the forgiveness of another. As the monks do every day, we fall down and get up, fall down and get up again.

Global Maritime Regulatory System

Global Maritime Regulatory System

Maritime is one of the field that is most vigorously directed industries and was among the first to adopt widely implemented guidelines

Guidelines concerning shipping are created at the worldwide level. Since transportation is intrinsically worldwide, it is important that shipping is liable to uniform guidelines on issues, for example development principles, navigational guidelines and the competence of crew. The option would be a plenty of clashing national guidelines which results  business mutilation and managerial confusion which would bargain the proficiency of world exchange.

The shipping field is primarily directed by the world known International Maritime Organisation which popularly known as IMO.Is a specialised agency of United Nations responsible in controlling shipping field.Headquartered in London,United Kingdom which has 174 member states and three asssociate members under them.

                                                                     IMO Headquarters

The IMO's basic role is to create and keep up a thorough administrative structure for transportation and its dispatch today incorporates well being, ecological concerns, lawful issues, specialized co-activity, sea security and the effectiveness of delivery. IMO is represented by a get together of individuals and is monetarily directed by a committee of individuals chose from the get together. Crafted by IMO is led through five advisory groups and these are bolstered by specialized subcommittees. Other UN associations may watch the procedures of the IMO. Eyewitness status is allowed to qualified non-legislative associations.

Moving on...for your information IMO has four pillars which ensures quality shipping means that promoting the highest standards of health, safety and enviroment protection.Which is:

1)SOLAS( safety of life at sea)

2)STCW (standards of training,certification and watchkeeping)

3)MARPOL (marine pollution)

4) MLC (maritime labor convetion)

1)SOLAS

Is a international maritime arrangement which sets least security gauges in the development, hardware and activity of merchant ships. The show requires signatory banner states to guarantee that boats hailed by them agree to at any rate these standards.SOLAS in its progressive structures is by and large viewed as the most significant of every universal settlement concerning the wellbeing of merchant ships.

2)STCW

STCW stands for ‘Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping’. STCW came into force in 1978 as Governments agreed to standardise training around the world. STCW Basic Safety Training, as it is known today is required by all seafarers who are working onboard commercial ships

3)MARPOL

Just like SOLAS, which regulates the shipping industry to follow minimum standards to safeguard life at sea, MARPOL is another important convention which safeguards the marine environment against ship pollution. MAPOL and SOLAS are considered to be two effective safety and environmental protection tools of IMO.

4)MLC

The Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC) is an international agreement of the International Labour Organisation (‘ILO’) which sets out seafarers’ rights to decent conditions of work.  It is sometimes called the ‘Seafarers’ Bill of Rights’.  It applies to all seafarers, including those with jobs in hotel and other passenger services on cruise ships and commercial yachts.

The Code consists of five Titles in which specific provisions are grouped by standard (or in Title 5: mode of enforcement):

Title 1: Minimum requirements for seafarers to work on a ship

Title 2: Conditions of employment

Title 3: Accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering

Title 4: Health protection, medical care, welfare and social security protection

Title 5: Compliance and enforcement

Global Maritime Regulatory System.

Merchant shipping is the most heavily regulated industries.Merchant shipping also amongst the first to adopt widely implemented international safety standards.

Regulations concerning shipping are developed at the global level. Because shipping is inherently international, it is vital that shipping is subject to uniform regulations on matters such as construction standards, navigational rules and standards of crew competence. The alternative would be a plethora of conflicting national regulations resulting in commercial distortion and administrative confusion which would compromise the efficiency of world trade

1.International convention for safety of life at sea.(SOLAS)

The word SOLAS is an abbreviation of  full form is “Safety O Life At Sea”, an international maritime treaty, also known as SOLAS Convention or International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), which establishes the least safety measures in the construction, equipment and operation of merchant ships.

IMO SOLAS 74, the last adopted revised convention of 1974, includes a number of regulations under different SOLAS chapters, which deals with safety precautions and safety procedures starting from the construction of the ship to real emergency like – “Abandon Ship”.  The convention is updated to meet the safety norms in the modern shipping industry from time to time.

2,International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships

What is Marpol?

The MARPOL Convention was adopted on 2 November 1973 at IMO. The Protocol of 1978 was adopted in response to a spate of tanker accidents in 1976-1977. As the 1973 MARPOL Convention had not yet entered into force, the 1978 MARPOL Protocol absorbed the parent Convention. The combined instrument entered into force on 2 October 1983. In 1997, a Protocol was adopted to amend the Convention and a new Annex VI was added which entered into force on 19 May 2005. MARPOL has been updated by amendments through the years.

Annex I  Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Oil (entered into force 2 October 1983)

Annex II  Regulations for the Control of  Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk  (entered into force 2 October 1983)

Annex III Prevention of Pollution by Harmful Substances Carried by Sea in Packaged Form (entered into force 1 July 1992)

Annex IV Prevention of Pollution by Sewage from Ships  (entered into force 27 September 2003) 

Annex V Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships (entered into force 31 December 1988) 

Annex VI Prevention of  Air Pollution from Ships (entered into force 19 May 2005)

3.Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW)

International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 was adopted on 7 July 1978 and entered into force on 28 April 1984. The main purpose of the Convention is to promote safety of life and property at sea and the protection of the marine environment by establishing in common agreement international standards of training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers.

• Improved measures to prevent fraudulent practices associated with certificates of competency and strengthen the evaluation process (monitoring of Parties' compliance with the Convention);
• Revised requirements on hours of work and rest and new requirements for the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse, as well as updated standards relating to medical fitness standards for seafarers;
• New certification requirements for able seafarers;
• New requirements relating to training in modern technology such as electronic charts and information systems (ECDIS);
• New requirements for marine environment awareness training and training in leadership and teamwork;
• New training and certification requirements for electro-technical officers;
• Updating of competence requirements for personnel serving on board all types of tankers, including new requirements for personnel serving on liquefied gas tankers;
• New requirements for security training, as well as provisions to ensure that seafarers are properly trained to cope if their ship comes under attack by pirates;
• Introduction of modern training methodology including distance learning and web-based learning;
• New training guidance for personnel serving on board ships operating in polar waters; and
• New training guidance for personnel operating Dynamic Positioning Systems ​

 

4.Maritime Labour Convention (MLC)

The Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC) is an international agreement of the International Labour Organisation (‘ILO’) which sets out seafarers’ rights to decent conditions of work.  It is sometimes called the ‘Seafarers’ Bill of Rights’.  It applies to all seafarers, including those with jobs in hotel and other passenger services on cruise ships and commercial yachts.

Title 1: Minimum requirements for seafarers to work on a ship

How I React When Facing Problems / Difficulties?

MY REACTON WHEN FACING PROBLEMS.

SOURCE : GOOGLE IMAGE

     All of us face various types of problems and difficulties in our lives. It could be from a wide array of perspectives such as wealth, health and other similar issues. What's important is how do we respond to each and every problem and respond to them when they strike us hard! Some people are really good at solving problems while others find it harder to tackle their shortcomings. Likewise, in my case, when problems hit me hard, I found it very difficult to overcome them.

SOURCE : GOOGLE IMAGE

      One I could vividly remember was when I was 16, while I was studying in Form 4 to be precise. At that time of my life, my family and I faced difficulties one after another. It was when the hospital reports showed that my dear sister had to undergo surgeries due to brain tumour. From then, expenses overloaded us, happiness and peace was never to be seen in my family for almost 3 years. Our family faced terrible economic breakdown. As for me, I had to juggle between studies and other family duties. Believe me, it as easy to digest the fact that my dear sister was diagnosed with deadly sickness and I, on the other had to keep myself focused in the upcoming SPM exams!

SOURCE : GOOGLE IMAGE

   After all the toiling and hardwork, I was relieved to finally sit for SPM. I couldn't say but I was all prepared but I know that I gave my best. My sister's condition got better and my parents were slowly but steadily regaining their financial strength. Though we were in the midst of tremendous pressure, my parents never failed to fulfil their vows to provide me with the best education possible. Simply, they were my pillars of support when I was very down and their 

positive and bold outer appreance gave me the push to give my best too.

SOURCE : GOOGLE IMAGE

    After receiving the SPM results, I had to make a vital decision on continuing my tertiary studies. Though many well-wishing friends and family members advised me to enrol a college or a university, I was ever determined to achieve my dream of becoming a sailor. Thus, I joined ALAM ( MALAYSIAN MARITIME ACADEMY)  as a self-paid student. Well, here comes another obstacle in my life. A self-paid student is no easy. After all the wave-like financial issues that we faced recently, here came another problem that I had to deal with. Thanks to God, with the timely help of my parents and my batchmates, I managed to get by with this financial issue with regard to the fees of my course without jeopardising the studies of my other siblings.

SOURCE : GOOGLE IMAGE

    Frankly, even after completing some part of the course, in order for me to get the 12-month seatime experience, I had to initiate and find a ship to complete my needed practical all by myself. From here, I was convinced to believe that the life of a self-paid cadet is not same as a sponsored cadet. Initially, I was rejected by many companies when I applied for my cadetship. Eventually, after 4 months of waiting, I was selected by a company to complete my 12-month seatime.

SOURCE : GOOGLE IMAGE

       All these hardships in my life made me stronger. I was ever ready to leave my family and embark on a journey of a year in the sea. I was fully aware of the setbacks that I would face such as the inability to contact my family members, festives to go by without my family but I was ever prepared and I could overcome these problems in due time. However, unbeknown to me that I would face another difficulty in the ship itself. It was regarding the members of the crew. I was the only Malaysian among the crews of the ship! There was the communication problem among us as English is not used as the shipboard language to both receive and revert commands. My willpower was strong. Amongst the added pressure, I kept my very eyes on the prize! The 12 months flew by in split seconds and I survived as a cadet. To put them in the correct perspective, I was not just cadet, but an independent and responsible cadet.

SOURCE : GOOGLE IMAGE

     After all these precious life altering lessons that lingered for 12 months, I am finally back at ALAM for my final year. Hopefully, I will again get my COC and bring up the achor of experiences in setting the sail for another adventure.

    So guys, always remember that life is a combination of happy moments and difficult situations. Sometimes you feel excited, and other times you feel like the world is falling down on top of you. Although it’s our natural tendency to seek happiness, it’s actually difficult situations that test us and make us grow.

GLOBAL MARITIME REGULATORY SYSTEM !

Good afternoon to everyone. For today , i'm going to discuss about a topic which is Global Maritime Regulatory System.

Merchant shipping is one of the most heavily regulated industries and was amongst the first to adopt widely implemented international safety standards.

Regulations concerning shipping are developed at the global level. Because shipping is inherently international, it is vital that shipping is subject to uniform regulations on matters such as construction standards, navigational rules and standards of crew competence.

So,everything that we are doing must follow the rules and regulations for avoid or overcome any negative incidents.

The shipping industry is principally regulated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which is the London based United Nations agency responsible for the safety of life at sea and the protection of the marine environment.IMO has adopted a comprehensive framework of detailed technical regulations, in the form of international diplomatic conventions which govern the safety of ships and protection of the marine environment.

Under IMO,got four pillars which is SOLAS ,MARPOL, STCW ,and MLC. 

1.  International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)                                                   

           What is SOLAS?
Is an international maritime treaty which sets minimum safety standards in the construction,                      equipment and operation of merchant ships. The convention requires signatory flag states to ensure that ships flagged by them comply with at least these standards.SOLAS in its successive forms is generally regarded as the most important of all international treaties concerning the  safety of merchant ships.

     2. International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL)

        What is MARPOL?
 Is the main international convention aimed at the prevention of pollution from ships caused        

by operational or accidental causes. It was adopted at the International Maritime                Organization (IMO) in 1973.The technical requirements of MARPOL are included in six separate Annexes:

• Annex I—Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Oil
• Annex II—Regulations for the Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk
• Annex III—Prevention of Pollution by Harmful Substances Carried in Sea in Packaged Form
• Annex IV—Prevention of Pollution by Sewage from Ships
• Annex V—Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships
• Annex VI—Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships
•

    3. Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW)

         What is STCW?
   Is to promote safety of life and property at sea and the protection of the marine environment by establishing in common agreement international standards of training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers.

• Improved measures to prevent fraudulent practices associated with certificates of competency and strengthen the evaluation process (monitoring of Parties' compliance with the Convention);
• Revised requirements on hours of work and rest and new requirements for the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse, as well as updated standards relating to medical fitness standards for seafarers;
• New certification requirements for able seafarers;
• New requirements relating to training in modern technology such as electronic charts and information systems (ECDIS);
• New requirements for marine environment awareness training and training in leadership and teamwork;
• New training and certification requirements for electro-technical officers.

   4. Maritime Labour Convention (MLC)

        What is MLC?

  Is an International Labour Organization convention, number 186, established in 2006 as the fourth pillar of international maritime law and embodies "all up-to-date standards of existing international maritime labour Conventions and Recommendations, as well as the fundamental principles to be found in other international labour Conventions".

• Title 1: Minimum requirements for seafarers to work on a ship
• Title 2: Conditions of employment
• Title 3: Accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering
• Title 4: Health protection, medical care, welfare and social security protection
• Title 5: Compliance and enforcement

So,thats all from me guys.Hope my knowledge about Maritime regulatory System will help you to understand the function and purposes of each pillars. 

THANK YOU GUYS !
