“Why be something to everybody when you can be everything to somebody?”

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!

Dedicated for the Lost Girl

The night has never been that dark. This is a Sunday of nothing. There’s a girl i knew, walking alone, before i ran after her. she told me under the dark sky and whispering wind ‘..i am lost, i dont know what i feel. half of me was death, my breath hardly kept me alive, the sun hated me, the moon embarassed of me..’

I than remembered Dewa’s Kosong ‘..di dalam keramaian, aku masih merasa sepi, sendiri memikirkan kamu,..’ I’ve been there, in other circumstance. Aint gonna tell you I know how you felt, cause I dont.

I’ve been lost. I once dont know what i feel. Part of me was death, and also my breath hardly kept me alive. I know the sun also hated me, burning me. The important matter is to learn the persistence of passion, learn the burning spirit of life.

‘..We are lost till we are found..’. So dont worry, you will be found. Never let the loneliness kill you nor your life. Life’s hard enough. Stand up! Light up the dark. Love the sun, forgive the world. Aim the stars, change their formation. Beat your heart, and like Coldplay said ‘God put a smile upon your face’.

Never tired on life. I aint no God telling you life’s good. I aint no prayer tellin you ‘it will all be over’. It is yours to decide the path. Forget the damn rules. Live your life!
