[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? […]
What motivates you?
Do you ever have some days where you just don’t want to do anything? I’m sure we do. On some point of time in our life, we have days when we are totally unmotivated. Regardless it’s about doing something that we are really like, for example in my case, blogging or taking pictures, or developing websites. (yes, I like to develop beautiful website but I have times when I feel scared and very unwilling to do it). I read quite […]
Defining a perfect day in our life
How do you define a perfect day in our life? Let’s close our eyes, think about it for a second, and start to imagine it. (Okay you have 10 seconds before you continue.. Just kidding :)) A classical scenario for a girl could be, Wake up in the morning, make the bed, having breakfast with her love (or sometimes she just have breakfast outside; a small cafe nearby is nice). Make their own way, to work, or simply stays at […]
Connect the past to reach the future
Recently, I listened to Steve Jobs’ commencement speech at Stanford University graduation in 2005 again. I have listened to that speech many times, yet I still find it inspiring. (Some of my friends think that I’m such a Steve Jobs worshiper, oh well, I respect him with all his unique past ~ you’ll find different him by reading some books about him or watching “Pirates of the Silicon Valley”). Anyway, in this post in relation to my recent experience, I’d like to […]
In finding passion
In relation with my last post, especially the part when you need to know what is your profession means to you. Many people told me to find something that I like and make it as my job. At that time, I wasn’t really thinking what is the message behind it. After working in the industry I know what it’s like. (To think about it you may like to read this too.) Sometimes you just have a tough day. And one of many fuels […]
Lessons learned from Attention Please #2/2
Anyway, I wanted to write about this for last week post, but I was having 2 tests near the weekend so I was studying in panic (luckily, both are passed) and worried about my PR applications (yes I’m applying again, hopefully I can get it now). But since the story was too long to be in one post, so I decided to split it instead. Let’s continue…
Lessons learned from Attention Please #1/2
Trivia: For you who are not familiar with Japanese TV series, they are simply called J-Dorama. J is for Japan and dorama is the adoption word for drama. Attention Please has been played quite sometime ago. It’s about a rocker girl who wanted to impress the guy she likes by being a cabin attendant. Although she was clueless about cabin attendant’s works, she determined to become one, applied for the interview, surprised the interviewers with her not-so-proper attitude, and accepted. […]
Finding myself within books
(note: recently I had quite a long break from work, clearing my leave) It’s nice to be back at home, although I can’t sleep the first few days because apparently I’m so used to with my current pillow. But the feeling to be back on your room is superb. Why? Because I can have books around me. I don’t see myself as a bookworm, but I admit that I’m a avid reader. I used to be a manga junkie (manga is […]
