Accor Hotel Membership Advantages - Some Personal Stories

Allow to share a little leisure stuffs this time, please :)

So, for those who hasn't known me in person, I'm a teacher trainer, currently occupied mostly in Jakarta. Also, I'm part of this international movement called Initiatives of Change.
I'm married to a warm-hearted, talk-less-do-more, charming gentleman *Ha-

These 3 + my love to travel are my current-major cause of travelling.
And when that cold call rang on my offering the Accor Membership, I took it for all the benefits.

I joined the membership on July 2017, and had no clear idea where would I spent these 2 free-nights complimentary anywhere across the Accor hotel Network. The membership valid for 1 Year.

As long as I remember, Upon the agreement, I got the following benefits:
2 nights complimentary room - anywhere in the world where the Accor hotel is available.
6 free breakfast coups
3 Upgrade rooms
2 30% discounts for group dining   
1 free birthday cake
And off-course the minimum 30% disc on all reservations in Accor Hotels. Check https://www.accorhotels.com/gb/leclub/program/cards-status-benefits https://www.accorhotels.com/gb/leclub/program/cards-status-benefits.shtml for more info

I'm writing this on Feb 13th, and the membership is coming to an end in few months.
1st Complimentary night I wanted to redeem  in August 2017, for my holiday in Bali. I reserve in Sofitel Nusa Dua, but it wasn't available. So I redeem another holiday membership to get 3D2N free stay in Djayakarta Hotel. It was a pleasant trip I might want to share later :)

So, Bali trip failed me to use my Accor hotel membership.

in October, my friend and her family asked me and my husband to be their guide for their first international trip to Singapore. Instead of visiting 1 country, I advised new experience, visiting 2 countries in one trip. So we went to Malaysia and Singapore.

in KL, we stayed in Novotel. The hotel is in the heart of the city, near the mall, and we experienced a great stay. Kids love the pool, adults enjoy the gym and the shower that's provided for those who already checked out but need to clean themselves for the next destination.
This where I redeem my 1st complimentary night.



The view from my Room in Novotel KL City Center 

The irresistable swimming pool - The kids love it

I told you that I had 2 complimentary nights right?
I did not redeem in Singapore on that trip. Instead, I used it on my India trip this January.
Yes, India. And this time, I redeemed it in Sofitel _ Haha. The kind of hotel I wont book on my own budget. LOL

Had a remarkable experience staying here. Too bad I couldn't experience the swimming pool because we need to catch a long ride to Panchgani.



The 6 breakfast coups weren't redeemed in those 2 hotels. I redeemed that during the end year company meeting. All six of them to please the 12 pax team mates who travel together in Bandung. 


Sharing this experince, got me missing the holiday, LOL 

Will get back to you all sharing more! 

Thank you for reading!

Chapter II: Precondition Your Mind To Success

You can precondition your mind to success. This is a basic principle of positive thinking. You can actually forecast what your future failure or success will be by your present type of thinking. 

==

It doesn't matter who you are or how often you've failed. Neither does it matter how old you are. Successful living can always be yours. 

==

4 principals of successful living:
1. It's important to define what success means to you. Define your goal clearly, pinpoint it. Be sure that your goal is in harmony with God's desires for you. 
2. Paint a picture of yourself as succeeding - 
3. Bring God into a central place in your thought pattern. 
4. Learn to share. 

== 

Reading the above sentences, here are some of my reflective thoughts: 

Seberapa sering kita saling mengingatkan tujuan mengapa kita sama-sama berada dikelas - belajar? 

Seberapa sering kita mengajak kelas kita memejamkan mata bersama, membiarkan imajinasi membawa angan kita pada hal-hal yang memberikan kebahagiaan di masa depan kita? 

Seberapa sering aktifitas dalam kelas kita disambungkan dengan Tuhan dalam segala dimensi-Nya? 

Seberapa sering kelas kita saling berbagi? 

Seberapa sering kita memberi jeda - di sela belajar kita - untuk terdiam sejenak, menikmati kebingungan dalam memahami, atau sekedar merayakan moment Eureka? 


== 
Note:
This writing is written after I finally finished reading "The Amazing Results of Positive Thinking" that was written by the author of "The Power of Positive Thinking", Norman Vincent Peale.
The book I read was the "result book", it's a compilation of stories of men an women who practice the power of Positive Thinking.  During the time of reading, I relate the stories in so many ways, including in my daily job as a teacher trainer.

Starting with this one, I will write my own words with the help of the stories I've read from the book.
I hope to ignite more positive power from the teachers, so that more positive thinking and actions were taught. And please remember, that each of us is a teacher and also a student at the same time.

Happy Learning :)

Chapter 1: Does Positive Thinking Always Work?

Bismillah..

This writing is written after I finally finished reading "The Amazing Results of Positive Thinking" that was written by the author of "The Power of Positive Thinking", Norman Vincent Peale.

"Does Positive Thinking always work?"
Of course it does; positive thinking will work if you are willing to work at it. It is not an easy discipline. It takes hard work and hard belief. It takes honest living, and a strong desire to succeed. And you will need to keep working at it constantly to achieve success in applying positive thinking. Just when you believe you have mastered it, you will have to develop it again.  

Through out these 14 years of  teaching and training experience, I have met many people in the education field. Of course. Some are fully dedicated, some are forced, some are in the field for many many years, yet still feeling astray and not belong to.
Teaching takes hard work and hard belief, yes, because some time you don't really reap what you sow. You have to wait, weather to see it succeed or to see it failed. You might agreed, you might not, and it's fine.

Let's take this to our teaching class:
Each time we think we are not fortunate enough with the students we have in our class, in our school, whether it's their learning ability, the economic status, the background complexity, or whatever our complain will be. Remember that each of these students is a unique individual that needs our Positive Power to let them unleash theirs.
Be grateful of them.
