I met one of my university senior on last weekend. He is a successful entrepreneur, to my opinion, and he showed me some of his works while we were chatting. Casually I asked him, on being entrepreneur in such young age. Here are some points that stayed in my mind: 1. There is no shortcut There will be some hills to conquer at certain point of our life. 2. Keep your idealism for yourself. Some people may not appreciate your […]

My style is..
Almost a year ago, I wrote this post. And near the end of the post, I wrote this: .. So, I asked myself again. Do I really blog because I want to share the good things or for fame? What are my definitions of good blogger? Which one is more important to me, articles quality posts or articles quantity? Do I plan realistically or I just want to get to my destination as fast as I could? I haven’t found the […]
Pay the price
When we were a kid, how do we get money? Pocket money from our parents, right? A little background to share, I was raised in middle class family. My dad never spoiled us with neither toys nor clothes. Sometimes as a kid I always ask and wonder, why can’t I get that toys? My dad will say that you still have your toys and it’s still in good condition, why would I need another toys. Maybe my dad didn’t understand […]
Level up!
When we play a game, either it’s a puzzle game, strategy game, or RPG game, each time we complete one stage or level, the next one would be slightly more difficult than the previous one. Right? The same analogy with life. After you complete one stage in your life, the next one will be, most likely, more difficult. The challenge comes in different form. And the beauty of it is, you can never expect that you will get the same […]
Sometimes life will give you what you need and not what you want
If someone asked you, name 3 things that you want to have right now and it can be anything. What answer would you give? I’m sure, we have bottomless wishes or things that we want to have in life. Whether it’s a status, money or (maybe) someone? Maybe for us who watched Aladdin and the Genie too much, we will be clever enough to have some imagination to ask another 3 more wishes on our last wish. Anyway, when you […]
Will you hold yourself?
Being quite outspoken person, I tend to blurt out some comments when I see something is not right or when people make some biased statement. Maybe for some people they will think that I like to debate or challenge their opinion. But actually I merely can’t stand of knowing that some people are boldly making statement without knowing the entire story. Sometimes they just say “sorry”, but it doesn’t mean that it will always the fixer. Anyway, recently it happens […]
Out leash your energy
Everyone has a bad day. Whether it’s because of some impossible requests from your boss or colleagues that think changing some codes is as easy as changing clothes or simply everything you do just goes wrong, or because of some people doing simple stupid things that annoys you. My recent experience reminds me of a movie I watched few years back, Anger Management. So, here is 5 things that may help when we have that day. 1. Rant it to […]
In finding passion [revisited]
[continuing one of my past post] On my previous post, I wrote about motivation and I feel that one of the element to keep motivated is knowing our passion. I wrote about this too couple of posts before. So, before going further about motivation, I’d like to revisit the passion topic. 2 questions that I often asked myself are: Is this truly what I like to do? Will I stretch myself, when it’s needed, to do this till the end? […]
