Are you interested or..?

Interesting quote I read this week from Ken Blanchard is: “There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” After reading those, suddenly learning foreign language popped up in my head. I have [...]

To whom I should blame this to

Kartika Angkawijaya — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 10:03:31 +0000

One of my friend recently told me that how miserable his life is. And he felt that why life is so unfair to him. (sounds familiar hey?) Yes, it’s all about complaining. I did that too quite often in the past, until a certain extent when I decided to learn to control it. It takes [...]

On anger and forgiveness

Kartika Angkawijaya — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 22:05:29 +0000

When someone do something accidentally or make mistake that leads to disturb you to reach your destination, will you be angry to the person? We are, normally.

Be ready, but take it easy

Kartika Angkawijaya — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 04:08:14 +0000

In my last post, I mentioned that often we are too pushy to ourselves, too demanding and (maybe) less understanding. When people told me to take it easy, sometimes I wonder, how do you define take it easy? Your easy maybe not as easy as you said or maybe less difficult that I imagined. Some [...]

Last weekend I flew back to my hometown to attend one of my best friend’s wedding. And nothing is more exciting than meeting your old pals. It’s been more than 5 years since our graduation. There are a lot of things happened within those 5 years. I used to watch my buddies left my hometown [...]

Phases in our life

Kartika Angkawijaya — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 00:30:32 +0000

One of my girl friends has a lot of polka dots stuffs. One of my male friends commented on her polka dots items. “Why polka dots?”, and she said, “I’m still in polka dots phase.” I like her casual answer for that question. We are all have our own phases. A phase where we easily [...]

3 activities to find new inspiration

Kartika Angkawijaya — Thu, 19 May 2011 00:40:35 +0000

Recently, I have a mind block, again. It’s like a cycle, there are times when you are so full of energy that you believe that you are incredibles; and there are times when you are so down until you don’t know what you really want, I call it total desperation. Well, it’s normal. Everyone has [...]
