Wow… its good to read this kind of stuff. Michael Session, an 18-year old student, elected as Hillsday major. (Read more). By the time I read the article, a friend recommend me an old song “Believe it or not” from Joey Scarbury. Haha, what a coincidence.

Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer,
Who could it be? Believe it or not, it’s just me.

Sometimes, there are things you say ‘I don’t believe it myself’, but!, but!!, its do happen. In other cases, you just can’t believe that somethings don’t happen. Haha. Like, when we pledged ourself for something new, and we put efforts on it, but it doesn’t work. We started to think, ‘… urgh, things don’t happen…’, but when we look deeper, study thoroughly, actually, I believe we can later understand that we never really PUT the efforts. We’re not trying hard enough.

Happens to me.

Yesterday, had a little chat with my best friend, and she suggested to mind map my ideas. Sounds like a good idea. Picturing the possible very-end of each idea, and later picking the best path. Sounds easy too. But, when I get home, just realised I’ve done nothing. 🙂 Haha. Poor. And I said to my self ‘ah.. things not easy to every one’ . And I stopped to map.

But today, after some thoughts, think I maybe try harder to map. Perhaps, everything on the right track. Let the unbelieveable become fact.
Hopefully..

Been thinking a lottt lately about ‘taking risk’. Sometimes, I sense that the risk is too high to take, but sometime Pablo’s words awake me about doing things that i’ve already doubt.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Samuel Johnson also has already commented that I shall not think too much about the risks, about the objections, about the obstacles, just put yourself into it, do the best!

Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must be first overcome.

Hmmm… 🙂 It’s not easy, really. Taking risk. Some says ‘no pain no gain’, but too much pain will later kill us, dont you think so. Recently, a man (French) sues casino that let him lose £500,000! See,.. we can learn from that case, that once we decided to go for that WIN, prepare and anticipate the potential LOSS. Hard? You bet!

I sometimes do wonder, does he wonder about how tomorrow will be… 🙂

Fortunately, in my kind of job, I’ve been given a valuable opportunity to meet a lot people from different countries. As I can remember, no matter how short or long the contact exist, from only 5 minutes talk to maybe months of working together, with Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai, American, French, UK, Australian, Japanese, (yeah… not a very long list, as you can tell hehe).

I’ve learned the way they do business, the way they work with others, and one common similarity I can see from my point of view as their consultant or their partner is “they never ask me about how old I am, never ask me about where I’ve graduated, never ask me about what degree I hold”.

Yes, none of them EVER asked me about those things. But, when I met an Indonesian clients, you can bet that they will ask you and judge you based on those things. Does it matter? Well, f*** I never give a damn!

Not saying I am an experienced person, not saying that I know many things, BUT I believe most of Indonesian just can’t differ “experienced” with “old”. So pathetic! When they know my age, they will act like, “..o please, you dont need to let me know that..”, or “..how can you know things more, when I live longer than you..”.

People, please forget about how old they are, or how young they are, JUST ACT YOUR AGE! Care nothing about other’s! Respect each others!
