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 […]

some of the simple things which are inspiring
Putting our effort on present to conquer the future
Have you ever thought that getting something we want in the future is easier than we thought? It can be our goal, or dream, or how we want ourselves to be. We often think that it’s hard to achieve, long way to get it or we might even think no way I’m going to get it. Here is a little bit story from me, to remind us about it.
to THINK or to WISH
Another short post this week from me is inspired by a book titled “Happiness Now” by Andrew Matthews. In one of the chapter, he mentioned about the difference between thinking and wishing. With respect to the writer, I’ll retell the main point. It’s a very interesting book, I think you should read it. It will give you different perspective on seeing things especially your life. Firstly, which one is more often happened to you? Thinking about something what you want […]
Capturing the best picture
As a refresher in between some personal development post I usually I write, I would like to share a story. Some weeks ago, I went to a short hike with group of friends. There were 6 of us, three girls and three boys. Almost all of us bring camera, from pocket camera to digital SLR camera (I counted out mobile phone camera in this case, although that some mobile phone can produce not so bad picture)
Debugging my life
Slightly related to previous post I wrote about the point where we faced difficulties on some stages of our life. Those big challenges sometimes related with making mistakes. As a web programmer, I spend my day writing a code to help my colleagues life easier and more efficient in doing their works; building a system that used to manage projects and many more.
What I learn from running
Although I consider myself don’t have special talent for sports or belong to born for sports group, I like to play sports and tried different kinds of them. But among all them, running is my weakest spot. The main reason is, I don’t have much stamina to run fast. When I was a kid, I always terrified when I was going to have physical examination, especially running. On different level of my school year, I had 100 meters dash, 1 […]
Loving ourselves
I like this idea when I heard it for the first time. Not everyone can accept this, some of my friend feel that it’s a selfish thing to do. I don’t try to sell this concept, but I think we can think about it. Why? I’d like to use one real world example. When we’re on a plane, the flight attendants will do some demonstration about safety. How we buckle up our belts, point out the emergency exits and it […]
Patience about life
Life will give what we need, not what we want. Everything will come in the right time and place. All we need is patience. And a little bit of wisdom. The wisdom is to know when to let go or when to preserve. To identify what we trully want or what we need from the rest. I used to dream that I’m going to overseas, working and living there, or having scholarship, or making international friends. I used to think […]
