That plan is perfect, but..

Kartika Angkawijaya — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 10:00:14 +0000

Do you like to make a plan? Or do you prefer to have someone plan for you? Not about your life, it’s about what happened in daily life, like going on a trip, throwing a party, or organizing event? The first time I entered my university life, I was fascinated with the seniors who arrange [...]

A thing called passion

My friend said a very interesting statement yesterday, “Although someone has interest on doing some kind of work, doesn’t necessarily means he is the right person to do it.
