We are in the best and worst times of our lives..

I had a long talk with a client/old friend of mine. He’s a young architect and a businessman and of course someone that I look-up to. Other than his own interior architect company, he owns a successful strings of sushi restaurant and also another company that I can’t really explain, and he’s still in his early 30s. He reminds me how important it is to pursue your passion as he did when he was at my age (or maybe a bit more) and even now he’s still trying to achieve more dreams that he has yet to accomplish (in which quite similar to mine on that matter).

I remember back in the college where I spent hundreds of hours developing personal projects just because I believe it was cool, because it’s a PASSION of mine and because it’s.. fun! Now I can’t even recall the last time I did a project just for the sake of it. Now it’s all about the money.. I miss those days.

After that long talk (and of course gossiping around ) I really think I need to re-establish and re-focus my goals, plan things out again and ask myself what REALLY I want to achieve in life (or at least this year) and then change how I live my life according to that goals. We are at our primes and we can and would be someone that we believe we could be. I believe the time to act is NOW! It doesn’t have to be fast, but the first step needs to be walked.

I did my first step on 2009, what’s yours?

My linksys wireless router broke in less than 1 year of its use, I am very dissapointed and would denifitely not recommend using it anymore. Now I recommend Belkin 54g because it’s small, sleek and it’s cheaper! I bought mine at Rp. 430.000,- and i’m satisfied with it.. at least currently satisfied. Read on for more

It’s funny how little things you say, small things you do, or the things that you don’t do, can cause a big hate on you.. Even without you knowing. And in most cases, other people are the ones that got hurt, not yourself.

be very careful with your mouth, extra careful with your actions, and choose wisely for things that you won’t/don’t/can’t do.

Beberapa hari yang lalu gw sempet denger iklan yang kocak banget di radio tentang kebebasan berbicara. Ceritanya tu jadi ada bawahan yang dipanggil oleh atasannya untuk mengutarakan uneg2nya tanpa disensor karena bawahan tersebut ingin mengundurkan diri, trus kocaknya lagi, pas lagi ngomong disensor dengan peep peep gt (itu bunyinya maxudnya) sampe 3 kali, trus dia nanya: “Lho.. katanya bebas bicara”.

Trus gw sebenernya bingung sebenernya itu iklan apa wakakak.

Well anyway, I believe in the freedom of speech, bahwa semua orang berhak untuk mengutarakan pendapatnya dengan cara yang sehat dan sesuai aturan. Seperti misalkan demo (demo juga kan a form of speech) atau yang simple aja la kayak nulis di blog ini. Yang gw ga suka adalah ketika sudah mulai destruktif dan menjurus ke SARA yang bersifat negatif. Tapi yah, berhubung semuanya relatif jadi agak2 susah juga si ngukurnya..

Moreover, karena pendapat itu bisa datang dari berbagai macam orang, maka pasti penanggapan orang juga pastinya bisa sangat berbeda, bahkan bertolak belakang walaupun membahas masalah yang sama. Which would cause problems like misunderstanding and conflict of interest.

Mengingat dan menimbang kalo pendapat tu kadang tidak bisa dinilai benar atau salah (especially when discussing something undone, like your future) maka kesalahpahaman bisa melenceng menjadi sangat jauh, apalagi kalo keseringan berasumsi. Just remember one thing, Opinion is not a Fact! karena opini itu relatif, fakta itu absolut (kecuali faktanya salah ehehehe).

Dari kesalahpahaman seperti itu, timbullah konflik, dan bisa aja kemungkinan jadi panjang, banyak yang sakit hati, banyak yang dirugikan, dikit yang diuntungkan.. But hey! that’s life. Makanya kalo kata Pak Stef si, jangan asumsi dan jangan sok tau, so we could at least minimize the damage of communication.

So as I have said in the above, I believe in the freedom of speech. Kalo pendapat gw tidak disukai ya bukan berarti kalo gw salah, dan kalo gw ga suka pendapat orang juga bukan berarti gw bener. Tapi kalo misalkan ada yang tidak suka pendapat gw trus memaksakan pendapatnya sendiri ke gw padahal itu bertentangan, nah! itu baru salah!

PS:
Orang pintar akan membalas argumen dengan argumen lain bila pendapatnya digugat
Orang bodoh akan marah2 dan bertindak kasar…

This goes for all bikers yang kl nyerempet ato tabrakan cuman bisa marah2 dan bilang: “Ini kan Jakarta Bung!”. Bleh…

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a
neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved
by Arthur’s youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom,
as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would
have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still
had no answer, he would be put to death.
