“I’ll do this after I finished my exam” “I’ll relax and do nothing after this busy month” “I’ll enjoy my life after I’m retired” “I’ll start to exercise after ..” “I’ll be peaceful and relax after taking holiday” “I’ll sleep more after the presentation” And after many “after”s, usually we will be busy again. With something else. So, find your peace, do your activities or get your rest in between your activities. Don’t depend on “after”. I’ll be satisfied after […]

Tribute to “Silence”
What would you do, when you have lots of things to do? I think, obvious answer would be, start to roll up our sleeve and do the work. If you read some of my posts, you know that complain or run away are not solutions. You can revisit those in here, here and here. How about if you have nothing to do, what would you do?
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)
The day when I didn’t get what I want
On many occasions in my life, I didn’t get what I want. Below are some of the big lost in my life (and some big found too). I hope you bare with me, since it’s going to be a bit long than usual and I hope that you can find these stories helpful. The story line Starting since when I was at my primary school, I was thinking joining school marching band was cool, maybe to play some instruments or […]
On setting a limit
I like one of the sport shoe commercial tag line, “Nothing is impossible. Impossible is nothing”. The tag line has been few years back though, I’m sure you know or ever heard about it. First of all, the story I wrote is for sharing purpose which inspired by my own situations. I’m motivated by the tag line many times but for this time, I need to see the bigger picture of it. Let’s say that you work on a specific […]
On shortening words
In my personal experience, writing in nice proper form also helps me to sort things out from my head. Like a brief pause. A pause to question myself. Do I really need to type this to my friend? Will the information be useful for them? Or we can say also a way to evaluate our thinking. Because when we’re such in a hurry, or maybe when some emotions are involved, we may say unnecessary things too..
my (most) favorite quote
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life – by Steve Jobs. I’ve been using that quote as my email signature for quite sometimes since I know about it few years back. The rest of the sentences following those quotes are: Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage […]
on recent depression
a week that made me learn something sometimes we do not need to find reasons behind anything that happened to us and, something or someone to blame to when there is something wrong in our life because we need those pain, trouble, to grow. As someone like to describe it as growing pains.
