This week inspiration is from my boss at work. In an offsite meeting 2D1N, he mentioned that sometimes you won’t go anywhere if you keep moving fast. But, if you wait patiently, you might be able to go way faster. This is related to your “North Star”. If you know yours, then it’s fine. Otherwise, you might ended up going fast to the wrong direction. Do you have similar experience?

Go for it!
What are the things that scare me? *MANY* Doing exams, going for races, trying a new role. I get butterfly in my stomach, I have cold sweat, and some other symptoms. But, every time I asked myself, will I regret it if I don’t go for it? Most of the times, there is a little voice inside saying, yes. So, it is scary. But most of the times it turns out to be alright. Our mind tends to multiply it. […]
You should do a marathon once in your life
I mentioned many times in my previous blog post that I’m not a runner, I don’t have stamina nor speed. But there is something about running which somehow always pulls me back to do it. The euphoria after running and the less preparation needed sport are perhaps the main reasons. I ticked this out of my bucket list last year. I don’t care much about the time, as long as I cross the finish line, and didn’t get any injury. […]
The art of procrastinating
I hate to see things not done. Whether it’s doing a task or meeting friends. I will .. do .. my .. best-est to do it within certain time frame, let’s say within that same day. And you guess it right, that I felt drain at the end of the day. But I felt accomplished. It perhaps an influence from work, that when something came, you need to reply or react swiftly. I learned that most of the times, we […]
What if? The nightmare that my brain thought of
Today I had two appointments at home, to do some air con maintenance and to get kitchen window repair. The original schedule was the kitchen window repair will start at 9am then the air con service will start at 10am. Suddenly it came to my mind, how to handle my two boys when the window is gone and when the aircon is on cleaning. Panic! I texted my friend regretted that I should have asked help to manage the boys. […]
1 min reading: to be grateful
I have twitter account for following 2 kind of accounts, industry related and things I care like web development or design, and people whom are inspirational. I barely tweet like some of my peers, but sometimes I retweet other person tweet when I see it good. This week post is 2 days late because I was lost of words and my mind was still trying to digest what happened to my hometown Surabaya over the weekend. I checked my twitter […]
Just try it
This is the third week since I adopted two cats, and I felt they had been with me longer than that. I don’t know why.. Maybe I have been intense experience for the first two weeks and now gradually started to adjust to a rhythm which works for three of us. I actually forgot that they are still adjusting to me, my place and their new life too. Only when my friends started to say, they just three weeks with […]
Run it out, eh, sweat it out
A wise friend always advises me (and other friends) when you’re in doubt, or doesn’t feel well, or basically when you have something troubling your mind, go for a run. I always reply, I’d rather do something else than that. However, I have to admit that sometimes it’s easier to just put on your sneakers and run, whether it’s a slow one or fast one, or perhaps just do a walk. (Depending on the degree of the matters, I find […]
