If you’re following my tweet, some time last week you may find article about recent narcissism trend caused by facebook. You can find the article from mashable.com (click here to read it). It is a very interesting study, I say. Based on that article, definition of narcism is “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and an exaggerated sense of self-importance.” And, somewhere in the middle the article states that: The study postulated that narcissists would show more overall Facebook activity […]

Win, lose or draw
Recent lesson: there is no winning (or losing) in relationship (with friends, someone you close with, or your partner) I have a friend whom tends to be late. She’s late to show for meet up, she’s going to work late (though she’s justify it by finishing work later, even it means to work overtime), she’s late to go for her classes, and many more. To my observation, she tends to keep it to the last minute then she will rush […]

A day with lots of coincidence
Last week Saturday, I was having hair salon appointment with my friend. Wrote down the address on a note and memorized the bus number, I left the house to walk to the bus stop nearby. I saw a bus was approaching and that was my bus. I fasten my pace and I hopped into the bus. Greeted the driver and I found my seat on the near the back of the bus. While I was waiting my friend as hers […]
Bite one mouthfull at a time
Today’s lesson: when there are too many things to handle, do only one thing, finish it, and move on to the next thing. Do not think too much, nor complain too much, do it diligently, you will amazed on the progress you made after that. If my last two posts were describing what have I learned during my trip, then in this post I’d like to stress out some points from those. Last week, I was panic because there were […]
Getting our feet back on the ground
Lesson of the week: it’s hard to make a new habit, but it’s harder to get it back. This post is still related to my recent trip which I mentioned in previous post. The trip summary, we had a trip because of public holiday fell on Monday, so it was a long weekend trip. On top of that, we add one more day by taking one day leave on Friday, thus we have 4 days 3 nights for the trip. […]
Writing a memoir

Usually, memoirs. an account of one’s personal life and experiences;autobiography. the published record of the proceedings of a group or organization, as of a learned society. I read in the newspaper somewhere around last week, Justin Bieber, a teen pop singer from Canada is writing his memoir and I remembered one of my friend comment when I told her about this, isn’t he too young to write memoir? What would his memoir tell? His journey to his stardom? Well, until the book is published, we can’t be too sure about it. On top of […]
Get rid of pessimism and boost the confidence up
Some people may always look confident on different situations, like in a party, during presentation, during a meeting with clients or even while hang out with friends. Meanwhile, some other people may look totally the opposite. They don’t look enthusiast, low spirited, try to hide themselves, speak low about themselves. I describe those two based on the book I read before, extrovert (confident) person and introvert (pessimist) person. Even if you feel that you are a confident person, sometimes you may […]
