Always Remember

Okay guys, I just want to tell you this,

When you're working so hard, chasing your dream, always remember that there always someone watching, someone who's going to be influenced by your action. When you feel "too tired" to continue, know that by pushing through, you're showing him how to keep fighting when he doesn't think he can. When you could accomplish a very difficult task, you're proving to the person next to you that it's possible to do something that once felt impossible.

Have personal goals and motivations, but always remember she's watching, someone you know, but aren't even very close to you. She's taking mental notes, creating a belief system based on your actions. What you do and don't do affects lives!

You're living to grow and change, not only yourself, but those around you. You're touching more people than you'll ever know, so do it with character, discipline, passion, and a willingness to strive further than most believe is possible. Show the world that anything is attainable the second you say it is.

If you're sick and tired of where you are, change it! No more whining, no more excuses, do something about it. You deserve it, your family deserves it, and the people watching you achieve it (who you may not know are watching) deserve to be shown it can be done!

And make sure that you do it with class and style ;),

This Conversation

Hello guys, what up?! ;)

In this post I would like to share a simple conversation between a boy and the Magic Genie (not literally, I just love to use the word "Magic Genie" :D)...
Enjoy! ;)

Magic Genie : I will grant you one wish, what is your wish?
Boy : I want to study abroad!
Magic Genie : Well, where do you want to study?
Boy : Meh, that's not important, anywhere will do the trick... ;)
Magic Genie : Alright then, your wish is my command!

...

Boom! There he is, casted away in South Korea... :D

What I am trying to say is, detail plays an important role in the process of manifestation. If you want something, make sure that you visualize it in detail. Details really matter, what does it look like? how does it smell? Is there a taste? Is it painted with a specific color? Who will be the first person you call when it's achieved? And so on...

If you know the correct way of seeing something in your mind then it will manifest in the world around. I believe with 100% certainty that what we "see" in our thoughts will be brought to life. If we visualize that "it" will never happen, and we add enough real emotion to that visual, it will most likely never happen. On the other hand, if we "see" what we want and make it real enough in our mind, it will surely happen. Knowing that what we see in our mind's eye will actually manifest is extremely fascinating.

So, don't be afraid to aim as high as you can, visualize in every details as you already have it, always do your best to manifest it, and never settle for less! ;)

I Quit!

Well, it's almost been 4 months since I did quit smoking, Some strange things happen, but that's not a big deal, everything seems to be fine.

Actually, the most important thing to be successful on the attempt to quit smoking is don't try to "stop smoking", but rather focusing in your goal, in the "reason" why you want to stop smoking.

As we all may know that 90% of what we do is habit-based, we create this habit through massive, massive repetition. Smoking is also a habit, a bad one they said, so if we try to stop this bad habit, actually makes us focus more attention on it, resulting in an even stronger bad habit.

So for you guys who want to quit smoking, here is the simple mind trick, first of all, you should define your goal, ask this question to yourself, "why do you want to quit smoking?" and the answer could be, for example, "to get a healthier life.".

Alright then, set it as your goal, focusing on that "get a healthier life" goal and create a new better habit to replace that bad one. For instance, you can remember the time or situation where you used to smoke, then do other positive activity at that certain time or situation, repeat over and over, until it become a new better habit.

This simple mind trick is also effective to replace another bad habit that may bother you.

So guys, give it a try and grab a better life, right now! ;)

PS: Alright, I know, I know, because I quit, I become one of those pussies now, yeah you're right, but I don't care, I am so proud of myself... :D

So, you see now what I did in the picture section? ;)

Smoking is overrated,

That is This Simple

So, that is this simple. Let’s settle this down, so you’re Mortred the Phantom Assassin and your opponent is Rylai the Crystal Maiden.
What can you do in the line? Nothing! She will continuously nuke and harsh you, she’ll even deny her creep so you won’t be able to earn much gold and experience. And at this level, you won’t have a chance to stand against her, she’ll easily beat you down!

So what you gonna do? stay in the line and get bullied? No! you have to do something. You can go to the jungle. Hunt those neutral creeps. Gather much gold and experiences. Upgrade your item. Level up your skill. Do something!
Yeah, I know how difficult for low level phantom assassin to hunt solo in the jungle, but that what it takes to be a man, I mean, to be a late game hero, do what you have to do no matter what it takes, that’s how you play your role!

Grind, grind, and grind!

And the time will come, when you get all the items and levels you need, she’s all yours buddy… ;)

*Of course your time is limited, or she will completely destroy your ancient and the game will be over… But don't worry, you can always start a new game anyway... :D

This is that simple…

Get it, nerds? ;)

Your beloved gamer,

You Should Know Up Front, This is Not a Love Story

Well, I had a dream about her last night, someone from the past. Okay, not that kind of past, but it has been so long since the last time I had a real conversation with her. We first met in the first year of senior high school, and since then we've become friends.

I really like her, not only because of her beautiful appearance with a chubby cheek… ;) but also because of her nature and attitude. We shared a lot of great experience together. She taught me many things. I loved spending time with her, she was comforting and supporting. Okay, she was just awesome! :D

But, behind her mask of beauty, there dwell an intelligent being, yes, she was so smart! :D
Even in high school I used to copy her homework, and she was also so diligent, and I took advantage of that by borrowed her math book everytime I felt so lazy to took a note in the class, then I continued at home… :D

She was always there to help me, she always did, and everytime, when I shared my problem with her, she always came up with a brilliant solution. Ah, now I just realize why she ended up being a Bachelor of Psychology… :D

She’s one of a few peoples in the world whom I can’t say “no” to.

Well, thank you for visiting me here my dear friend, it was great to finally meet and talk with you again, I will ignore the fact that it was only a dream.


… :),

Okay, I Promise...

I don’t know why, all of a sudden, this song pop up into my head. This is one of my favorite song from my favorite korean band, busker busker (버스커 버스커). This song entitled Yeosu Night Sea (여수 밤바다).

Yeosu Night Sea
(English Translation)

The yeosu night sea
There is a beautiful story underneath this light
I want to let you hear so I call you
You ask what I’m doing?
I’m at the Yeosu night sea, the Yeosu night sea

I want to walk here with you
I want to walk along this sea with you
I want to walk on this street with you
I want to walk along this sea with you
Yeosu night sea

The Yeosu night sea
There is an unknown scent hanging off this wind
I want to tell it to you so I call you
You ask what I’m doing?
I’m at the Yeosu night sea, the Yeosu night sea

I want to walk here with you
I want to walk along this sea with you
I want to walk this street with you
I want to walk along this sea with you with you

The sea, there is a beautiful story underneath this light
I want to let you hear it so I call you
You ask what I’m doing?
I’m at the Yeosu night sea, the Yeosu night sea
You ask what I’m doing? I’m at the Yeosu night sea

If I ever get to the Yeosu Night Sea, I will call you, I promise.

They are, Well, My Heroes!

Not so long time, maybe around one and a half month ago, I had a very hard time of my life. My project was just started and my job was so difficult and dangerous, yet I was expected to finish my work as soon as possible. So, I had to work so hard physically, mentally and intelligently.

In the middle of my depression, I found them. They are an indie pop band formed in Glasgow, yeah, anybody familiar with Belle and Sebastian?

Yupp, they’re just awesome! Their music is awesome, their lyrics are awesome, their voices, their styles, everything are just awesome!

I was using their song to perform what NLP called “anchoring”. With their music, it was very easy to set my mind into a positive emotional state and a very good mood. Thanks to them, I’ve finally made it through that period.

These are the list of my favorite Belle and Sebastian Songs:

If She Wants Me
I Want the World to Stop
Mornington Cresent
Another Sunny Day
Piazza, New York Catcher
Fox in the Snow
We Rule the School
For the Price of a Cup of Tea
Chickfactor
Is it Wicked Not to Care
Sleep the Clock Around
Sukie in the Graveyard
A Summer Wasting
She’s Losing it
White Collar Boy
We are the Sleepyheads

Guys, let me introduce to you, well, my heroes.

I Am Waiting For You... I do...

Since I was a kid, I always adore those peoples who can make it to study abroad. I frequently imagine how it feel to be able to study in other country. Use english for daily conversation, meet new people from various countries, experience local cuisine, assimilate with local peoples, learn different languages and cultures, and so much more. Everything sounds very interesting.

For you guys who really want to study abroad, go ahead, chase your dream. Make it very clear and in detail where do you want to study abroad, make a good plan, then stick to it. Have this "never give up, never surrender" kind of attitude. Always focus on your goal not your obstacle. And remember this, there is no such thing as impossible, yes, you can!
If you really do all those steps, I promise you that you will successfully achieved everything you ever dream of.

And when you finally make it, you're study in someplace else rather than your own country,

that will be the time...
the time...
hold my hand guys...
yeah, hold my hand and together we will shout these words loudly and proudly...

"This... is... sucks!"

I am waiting for you guys, I do,

Proactive Appreciation

Haiii guys, apa kabar kalian? Hope you guys had a great time di malam minggu yang indah ini! ;)

Well, di entri kedua ini saya ingin sharing tentang sebuah teknik yang saya rasa sangat berguna untuk aplikasi sehari hari. Teknik ini sangat sederhana dan bisa dipraktekan oleh siapa saja, namun memiliki efek yang sangat luar biasa, teknik ini disebut “Proactive Appreciation”.

So, what is proactive appreciation?

Here we go! :D

Namun sebelum melangkah lebih jauh, saya ingin sedikit bercerita terlebih dahulu. Jadi, beberapa waktu yang lalu, sudah cukup lama lebih tepatnya, saya sempat membaca sebuah artikel yang sampai sekarang isi artikel tersebut masih sangat membekas di kepala saya dan bahkan telah menjadi salah satu referensi saya dalam menjalani kehidupan sehari hari.

Artikel tersebut memberikan saya gambaran tentang bagaimana seharusnya kita berhenti bersikap reaktif, dan mulai menjadi proaktif dalam mengeluarkan respon apresiasi terhadap tindakan dan kondisi yang kita alami. Rasanya sangat jarang melihat orang yang tersenyum akan pilihan-pilihan buruk yang baru saja dia ambil, baik disengaja maupun tidak. Daripada kita mengeluh tentang sebuah kondisi yang negatif, lebih baik kita berteriak bahagia akan kondisi tersebut.

Terdengar aneh di telinga bukan?

“berteriak bahagia dalam kondisi negatif? This is madness!”

Saya dapat mendengar beberapa dari kalian berteriak protes, namun tahan dulu guys, saya akan berikan contoh aplikasi dari teknik proactive appreciation ini. Pada saat saya masih menjadi mahasiswa dulu, saya sempat tidak lulus pada salah satu mata kuliah di suatu smester, namun saya tidak lantas mengeluh murung, maupun menyalahkan diri sendiri dan orang lain, melainkan saya memberikan apresiasi yang perlu saya terapkan yaitu berteriak dan melompat kegirangan sambil berteriak:

“Luar biasa, saya tidak lulus mata kuliah A, kesempatan untuk semakin menambah pengetahuan saya di bidang ini, saya akan lebih canggih dari teman teman saya, mereka pasti iri dengan saya, pasti sangat iriiii…”.

Dan hasilnya bisa anda tebak, ya, nilai saya saat saya mengambil mata kuliah yang sama di smester smester berikutnya jauh lebih baik dibanding kebanyakan teman teman saya yang telah lulus terlebih dahulu.

Jadi apa sih proactive appreciation itu? “Appreciation can be defined as gratitude, and thankful recognition”, sedangkan proactive sendiri dapat berarti “tending to initiate change rather than reacting to events”

So, proactive appreciation yaitu menanggapi setiap pengalaman yang terjadi, baik positif maupun negatif dengan semangat apresiasi yang proaktif.

Budaya kita telah memberikan terlalu banyak penekanan pada keberhasilan dan kesuksesan, sehingga keberhasilan memiliki efek motivasi yang sangat memuaskan, sedangkan sebaliknya kegagalan memberikan efek demotivasi yang sangat menghanguskan.

Sebenarnya, nilai kepuasan hidup tidak ditumpuk dari keberhasilan-keberhasilan yang terjadi, namun dari kemampuan kita untuk mengapresiasi pengalaman apapun yang ada. Oleh Karena itu, berhentilah menilai keberhasilan sebagai keberhasilan dan kegagalan sebagai kegagalan, biasakan melihat keduanya hanya sebagai pengalaman yang wajib diapresiasi dengan penuh semangat.

Well, to sum it up, teknik ini sangat berbeda dan tidak ada hubungannya sama sekali dengan positive thinking dan tetek bengeknya, kunci teknik ini terletak pada semangat apresiasi yang proaktif. Applikasikan teknik ini dalam kehidupan sehari hari kalian, dan bersiaplah merasakan sensasi yang belum pernah kalian rasakan sebelumnya… cheersss... ;)



Your proactive guy,

Be Different Without Being Different

Hello guys, this is my first post since I've retired from blogging world long time ago, so, please go easy on me... ;)

In this good opportunity, I would like to propose a topic about being different in a different way, or what I called "be different without being different". Yeah, I know that this is confusing, but I promise, you'll get to that after finish read this article... ;)

So, what I meant by being different in a different way is an art of being different without anybody realizing that we were different in some odd ways.

As you may know, difference is attractive's best friend, which means something that is different usually, if not always, lead to become something that is attractive, but it is also important for you to know that sometimes, difference could also lead to being left behind... :D

Well, this is where the fun begin... :D

I will give an example, have you ever met a person in whom you feel odd to be near them? You feel uncomfortable just like some kind of awkwardness aura radiate from their body? And you just can't stand to talk to them even only for a couple of minutes? On the other hand, have you ever met someone in whom you feel warm and cozy even after just a little talk? You feel that you will be able to be with them for the rest of your life?

That, my dear friends, is what I meant by difference. Now, you must notice that those two peoples in the example was somewhat different from each other, yet you receive two kind of different feedback from them as a totally different feeling you got when you interact with those two.

So, here comes the question, what makes you feel uncomfortable with the first person, yet so joyful with the second person? To answer this question, first we must have a good understanding in what so called "calibration".

So, what is calibration?

Calibration, in a simple word means to check, or adjust, which in my own words means to make anything in tune. Let's imagine, well, a guitar. when the sound that comes out from the guitar is not good, or in the term of music, false harmonics, simply means that the guitar was not calibrated yet.

Okay, let's break it down one by one, most peoples are just like the person from the first example, they don't understand the importance of calibration or simply don't know what calibration is.

Here is a little example of calibration; when you want to perform a joke, first of all we have to calibrate your joke's quality. So, in order to do the calibration, you should imagine 2 poles in a, lets say, joke's scale, 1 pole called not funny, the other called too funny.

When the joke quality falls in the region near to not funny pole on the joke's scale, then if you perform that joke, people who hear it will experience some kind of awkward situation because the joke was not funny yet they may have to laugh just to respect you, and maybe you'll be labelled as a boring people. While on the other hand, if the joke was too funny they will think that you are just a clown and no need to be taking seriously.

But, when you put your joke's quality, in the middle of the scale, with a little smart twist, people who hear your joke will laugh honestly and thought you were a funny and easy going person, yet still respected because of your quality, but for sure, they will love you.

There are still so many things that need to be calibrated first before performed, like confidence, voice tone and body language, and so on, that will be too much if I put all of them here, maybe in the next post when i am in the mood of writing... ;).

Well, to sum it all up, to perform an act of "be different without being different", here are what you need:
1. calibration
2. confidence
3. communication skill
4. leadership skill

Good luck and good day for all of you guys, see you on the next post! :)



Always calibrate, always be loved!
