About battling yourself - A poem

00:12 rafi 0 Comments


There's a time, when you feel happy about one thing
Seems usual and easy to achieve
But you have passed through it
You might appreciate yourself
You might feel strong
You might feel enormous
That little things successfully achieved
That little things have been symbol officially
About your hardmanship
About your dream
About your battle, within the greatest enemy
Yourself

There might be a time when you say
"Ah, it's enough"
"Ah, can do it later lah"
"Ah, still afternoon, might have evening lah"
But no,
You realize your time limited
You realize procrastinate is not a joke
You realize it should be done, now
Congrats, Congrats, Congrats
At last you been mature
Physically and mentally
At last you checklist one point
Called resolution

Congrats for proving to anyone who doesn't believe
That it's not them vs the world
But you instead
Prove them wrong
You may proceed to the next leve
Congrats for leveling up, raf!

xoxo

Love always,
Rafi
Written as reminder, and celebrate small victory, finishing one book in one month. Hohohoho. Semangat!

The perks of reading - A contemplation

18:07 rafi 0 Comments


For the last one week, things happened quickly.

I almost finish Elon Musk book, and ready to read another one about "The Four", sorry for "Highly Performance Book" that need to be awaited after I finish The Four next month.

So, here's the story.

Lots of my friends knew, I'm not that book nerds, I even -sometimes- avoid reading books, and watching video instead. Or even just looking at presentation is enough. Yups, I was thinking too much effort for reading book, while you could get the shortcut by watching videos or ppt instead. I was wrong. Totally. Whenever I learn from ppt, I often missed too much details, right? Even it's the important parts, that might give you the whole picture of the topics. I was wrong. Reading books might broaden my imagination further, with the details they wrote in the books itself. I could picture those words to be things I want, and there's no something wrong with it, right? Cause everything leaves by how you imagine things, that simple.

About History/ Biography. To be honest, I am not really fans of history at all. I thought there's no point learning about it. I was thinking someone's Biography would be so so lah. And then, once again I completely wrong. So much things you can learn about someone's journey. Just like what I read. To be specialized one thing, you need 10000 Hours to do so right? And the shortcut might be reading someone's journey, and learn from their mistakes. And..... Yas, it is. from this one Book, I learned something that, what makes Elon Succeed is not only about his IQ, it's far from that. It's about his Grit, Hardship, Faith (to his dream), and that work attitude he has that makes him to this phase. Even, in the future he could be the next "Four" that would completely change the world. And I, adore also admire him, so much.

His dedication also need to be shout out. I mean, having 3 multi-millions company, he might need seperate his time between those 3 lah. And he did it. We're talking about > 90 Hours works weekly for his employees, and of course, he needs more than that also. Yet, talking about that "laugh-able" dreams, that perhaps, if I on those meeting, might laugh about his ambition also. And he proves them wrong, by investing all of his money for his ambition, and he did something completely blown our mind. Yups, we're talking his space, car, and technology company loh. Once again, I adore him again haha.

The list would go on and on, and you'll be thrilled about his journey that -of course-  need to be credited to himself.

Reading is always and hope always would be my daily activities, whether it's reading books, quoras, articles, HBR, this is something I should commit myself to enrich my knowledge. Some often inspired me, some often thrilled my way of thinking, some often blew my mind, some ..... use to be my personal notes to improve myself. Things you should know, perhaps if you asked me, it looks like too late for realizing this right? I mean, come on, I've been working, and need to improve my social skills also right? No no no! For me, there's no late for these things. Even though you're old enough, learning would be something that bound with time. And reading might be one major factor, to assure, how much "things" you have learned for 1 particular time-interval.

Hokai.

I guess we've come to the end of this contemplation. Me, myself, and I suggest everyone, to read at least 1 article lah a day. No need for taking that 20 minutes worth reading articles lah, try with simple article about self-improvement and stuff, no need heavy topics that needs to be re-read to understand something haha.

My suggestion would be Quora, since I'm loyal quoran readers :")

Thank you guys! Hope it could inspire you :*

Week 2 - Progress of 2018 Resolution - Things starting well

23:46 rafi 3 Comments

Dear Gaes,

Tonight I am going to write, what I've been through for the past 1 week.

It's a lot.

This week, I finished my online course in udemy, have title "MBA in Box: Lessons from CEO" by 365 Careers. Yups, normally, if you only watched the videos itself, it'll take 9.5 Hours to finish. But for me, absolutely it's more than that. I take this course like last month, taking 1 - 2 hours per-day for several days (maybe 1 week), and then learned 1 - 2 hours per-day, if I have mood doing these. Haha.

Yups, I guess it took me > 12 Hours combined, because I often paused the course, to take notes/ important things they told me so. You might see my book tho. It's 200 pages worth, and > 60% of these are the records I made.

Anyway, for those who's interested, I recommend you guys to take this course as well, to give us Big Picture what MBA's life would be, and how management's works, and many more. I learned Business Strategy from scratch, Human Resource and Management, marketing communication to promote the products we have, finance (which is the hardest part to write the financial statement, that's not going to be built easily), and .... Negotiation (which is literally telling me, I am worst as fuck in part of daily Negotiation, even though, it's really important to us). Me, myself, felt it's really an eye opening for sharpening my Business Strategy sense, especially for giving any recommendation from my analysis for the business persons. I would give it 10/10 rate, because both content and animation is helpful and interested, won't make you sleepy and stuff.

What next?

Once again, I have achieved my target, to take Gojek only for going to work, and take a walk for going home instead. Yups, that's sweat is worthy Carl's Burger, which I bought cause there's a promotion for it ...... This body can't resist that offer and ...... I bought it twice loh! :") I'm feeling ashamed cause I can't control my food ...... Promise won't do it anymore, to give it a go for my diet!

Work?

Doing well and ok, currently want to increase my pace, to work faster and effectively, and of course, get things done beautifully :)

Workout?

Hmmmm, the hardest question ...... I do walk (total > 10 KM this week), Dance for 1 hour in total, warming and cooling for half hour, and ...... 0 KM running. Still can't overcome morning run, and hard to night run since mager af. Next week would do it better for sure !!!!!

Today

Well, I woke up at 9 AM (yups, haven't prayed subuh yet), and ...... Today, my mobility is long af. I cleaned my room like from 10 - 11.30 AM, taking bath, accompany my brother to the airport (he's going back to Medan for vacation), and ..... going to BSD (for accompanying my cousins), take a ride by Train (from Rawa Buntu to Sudirman), gojek to Kost, take a bath, and ..... have a dinner with my bros (ucup, oji) and Kurtiks. Full time. I read > 20 pages of Elon Musk, which I found very interesting, since I read the very personal part of his life, and we're talking about married, love, and depression. This guy also survived from that, and admire him more tho ..... Even though, as a human being, he's not that perfect, especially when we're talking about his love. But that's ok, you can't please everyone, and in the end, it's you the one who's going to through it, right?

AND !

Tonight we took Grabcar kan ...... the first one when we went to Seafood Indah 94, we got minangnese driver, that won't stop talking during that time hahahaha. Since he's already old, in the end we kept replying his story tho :")

And ..... when we want to go home yah, we got this cool driver, which had story about "Nightlife" Jakarta, and un-usual but interesting place to come in Jakarta. He told us that in Mangga Besar, we need to try Snake, especially Blood + Arak, which would give you "Stamina" more directly. And, also there's monkey's, crocodile's meat and stuff lah, it's quite interesting tho haha. But when he asked whether we're moeslim or not, we told him "yes we are", and he didn't recommend us cause it's haram.

"But mas .... YOLO" me shouting.

Haha.

Also there are places called "Salon plus-plus" that's going to give you not only cut but also "things" you know lah haha. It's quite expensive he said but worth lah haha. And the story keep rolling, from PSK grab-user, followed by drunk user, and stuff, till he completed his mission to take us home. This is something you can't get unless you explore by urself, kan? And ...... You have saved so much time for not doing so because information he has given to us ..... which perhaps, someday I'll try by myself, especially for the snake part cause it's good to ur skin he said. Welcome to Jakarta! Just like what government used to say ..... "Enjoy Jakarta!".

Wokeh, after driving us home, I directly went to my computer and write all of these for you loh gaes, my special and loyal readers :3 So don't forget click this blog, or leave any comments regarding your question or your thought about this story yaps.

Thank you!

[Not Spoiler] A little bit of The Greatest Showman review

21:58 rafi 2 Comments


The Greatest Showman, is one of the best musical movies I've ever seen. If you already saw the movie, glad to you! I am extremely moved from the story line, and the music ...... is beautifully breathtaking gaes! This movie would make you chill as fuck on the cinema, like myself, can't stop smiling and saying "OMG, this is amazing, I feel amazed, I can't stop smiling, I just can't, shit, the choreographer cool as fuck, the music would lift the fuck up, and of course, would make your day feeling so colorful."

This movie has deep message for all of us, to believe with our dreams, giving the best effort we can to achieve it. To be .... confident about yourself, with due all of your weakness, and even appearance, nothing matter if you could chase and seize the day. This is not the right time, to let others define who you are, and justified how you should live, fuck them all. This is where you should empower yourself, to be stronger, cause you're the one deserve loved and equally worthy with the others.

This movie also remind us, to not forget ourselves, even if we have reached the top, should remember we ever in the near surface, and bottom the earth. Remember our main goals, and keep on the track, monitor the way it should be, and just do not lift yourself too high, till you forget everything you should focus on ...... The point is, down to earth cuy!

The list keep go on, I could rate this movie for 10/10, since I love it so much, and going to watch it with my brother soon ..... Let's make him learn about real-life, and how he should believe in himself, and of course, I hope he could be that person, who don't give a fuck with other's opinion about him.

Thanks for the director, thanks for the actors & actresses, may the love be with you gaes <3

Love always,
Fans

Week I - An ordinary start to pursue extraordinary goals

23:30 rafi 2 Comments




Dear Readers,

Tonight, before I'm going to sleep, I'll recap things I have done a little for my Resolution.

1. About getting up early in the morning ya .... Recently I manage to wake up at 6 AM, haven't reached my goal for waking up at 5 AM. But that's okey, it's really a good way to start. Also .....  Of course it depends on my sleep time. If I slept at 10 - 11 PM, obviously I could wake up at 6, but if passed it, say good bye ! It's really hard to rose my ass up. Haha. At least already saw it coming lah.

2. "Walk the fuck up". Hmmmm, tbh, I'm still lazy af to walk to my office because ..... I'm going to sweat as fuck. So ..... I guess I'll do Gojek every morning. But ..... FYI, after working hours, I'll try to take a walk and feel the night breeze. It goes ok, and manage to sweat this body at its fullest which is good for my diet program.

3. Having 1/2 portion of Rice. Well .... Actually, I always order my breakfast, lunch, and dinner with half portion of rice. Sometimes I forget to do so, and can't do anything unless eat all of these. Since, I can't waste any rice at all cause not a good thing to do lah. But in overall, majority, I've achieved some goals lah hohohoho.

4. Egg. Fish. Vegetables. Oops, several times I order KFC :( So sorry can't hold it up but .... Will do my best in the future, I promise! Would totally decrease fast fooddddd!

5. "1 Hour worth reading everyday". Well, I DID! Although it's not my fav or targeted book, but I manage to read micro-economy and business math books tho! Because ? Yups, of course to teach these arshole --> Mein Bruther :") But that's oke, I need to save his ass for this semester lah

6. "1 Hour worth online course everyday". Fucked. This failed often! To be honest, it's because of me that lazy as fuck, and ..... I completely forget things about Finance/ Accounting that I used to learn for MBA In Box online course. I need to repay this next week, adjust my online course time for 1.5 hours a day, and it's a fucking must!

7. "Read Quora/ Random business articles for 1/2 Hours". Ah ..... Thanks god I could do this! Yups, need to variate my activities and this helped me af through this. Obviously, besides reading this, I used to spell the words to improve my speaking english skills that need to be sharpen.

8. "More Fun things to do". Yups, I manage to exceed my entertainment budget :( Oops, since my brother went to somewhere, completely alone and can't do anything except eat...... Banana Nugget, snacks, puftttt, Need to manage my diet program seriously !

9. Sports. Running for 1/2 hours a day? Bullshit! Hard to achieve. I guess I need to change it tho, and I am re-thinking about "5-10 minutes Meditate, 10 minutes warm up from sit-up to push-up, and .... ofcourse, dancing!". Please do not imagine this body dance, but I love it cause .... "This is Me"

Hahaha.

Oke.

That's all for this week, gaes.

Wish me luck!

Love always,
Rafi

A friend of mine wrote to remind me that only 5 of the first 9 Pegasus launches succeeded; 3 of 5 for Ariane; 9 of 20 for Atlas; 9 of 21 for Soyuz; and 9 of 18 for Proton. Having experienced firsthand how hard it is to reach orbit, I have a lot of respect for those that persevered to produce the vehicles that are mainstay of space launch today"

There is a time when a fuck should be given

23:03 rafi 2 Comments


Sometimes, we have this hard situation, where we want to not give a fuck, but we can't, cause it could cost you more in the future. Might be mentally, and of course we talked about the m word, Money.

Me, wishing my money didn't waste at all
Yups, this happened to me recently tho.

The story begun here. Since new year, I already knew all of my brother's exam schedule. I asked them tho, to remind him further bout it. The thing is, I knew he's fucked up with Micro-economic  things, since after middle exam, he only focused with Big project he used to do with his mates. And ..... The lecturer himself also did the same! They're not really study at all, in fact, they just discussed about that assignment. Cqcq.

After investigating further, he said that, he need to learn about 4 - 5 chapters, while he only knew about 1 chapter after all. Even the "kisi-kisi" didn't help him at all, and ..... it looks like he's lazy as fuck to try to start with.

*inner me*
Me: "Just let him be, teach him a lesson, let's see which methods get the best result. Seems his method won't work to get a good GPA tho."
Also Me: "If he failed, you need to repay 350K per-credit lah"

Cqcq.

Yups, besides the money tho, I guess it's wasting your time to take same subjects and learn things you have learned over and over again kan ...... And, because of this, what I could do is ..... helping him to learn ! Ckckck.

1 day prior the-d-day, I decided to go home early (usually  I am going home at 8pm, but ..... took it on 6 pm lah). And ..... I started studying his kisi-kisi at first to get the big picture of wtf is that. And yeah ...... Thanks to MBA in Box & Foundation of Business Strategy course I have taken, I could easily understand things. In fact, the topics were about "Type of Market" from perfect competition, monopoly, monopoly competitive, and Oligopoly, which I already taking notes about these.

U, seeing this article
I begun with "Market" definition which is learned from wikipedia, and elaborated things with "Rules" these markets could be built in the first place.

Also, what he wants me to explain is about "Curve" these markets had, from calculating Economic profit, maximizing profit, and ..... Shut down methods to determine whether a firm need to be shut downed temporarily or even permanently! The concept actually easy to learn and "gitu-gitu aja" and easily to be understood. These curves and stuffs looks easy as fuck till you found the example & the exercise question.

What about "Just do the thing?" Haha.
So ...... what should I do ? I love beers but it's not fun yo. Hahaha. Googling! I found the answers but can't really understand it as a whole. I told my brother about this and he said "Oke bang, move on! We still need to learn lots of things" Lul

Yups, he and I literally did "sistem kebut semalam", and learned till 00.00 am I guess :")

Moral of the story?
Well, I guess I learned a lot about microeconomy in a big picture of course, and it reminds me with the old subjects I took about Business Strategy and stuff. Thing seems impossible until it's done. If you didn't try, you'll never know, whether it's fail or succeed in the end. Last but not least, sometimes it's ok to leave everything behind temporarily, just forget about your new year resolution and stuff (even I didn't read Elon Musk book at all loh TT-TT), and ...... Try saving your brother's semester, bro!

Wish him luck !

(Edited) Ups, he already told me that he got so many questions wrong since he was Blank at the exam. Sacked up dude, SKS is ain't good method in college. in ITB, you deserved an E! haha.

Without any specific concerned, I love this quote tho

Rafi and the beginning of new year resolution

23:13 rafi 2 Comments



Bismillah!

Aloha gaes ..... Iya, jadi gue malam ini mau sharing banget tentang New Year Resolution di tahun 2018. Yups, kok harus dishare? Well, perhaps you already know lah terkait kenapa gue sampe bikin Goals ini kan? Bisa dibaca disini.

Dari sekian banyak Quote terkait new year resolution, ini yang paling membangun haha. Yang lainnya mah sampis!
Nah, berdasarkan jawaban Quora yang gue baca di tulisan sebelumnya. To make it accountable, and perhaps could motivate me more, gue akan sharing dari awal, apa aja sih yang menjadi Goal gue di tahun ini.

The rating of myself

I know it sounds cheesy but, it's extremely important to know yourself better, right? At what stage am I right know, and how to improve it to the next level?

Ya, jadi gue rating diri gue dalam 5 hal (sejauh ini sih baru 5).
1. Health/ Kesehatan (6/10)
Baiq. Kesehatan masih w rating 6 karena ..... Sejujurnya gue hampir tidak pernah izin sakit. Kalaupun sakit, pasti tetep diusahakan datang ke kantor, and do the best for doing so. Tapi for the last 3 month, dari diri gue sering banget ga enak badan-nya. Which means, gue emang ga sesehat dulu. Mungkin bisa dikarenakan pola makan juga, atau malah pola tidur. Intinya, masih sering ga fit untuk beraktifitas.

2. Wealth (5/10)
Hmmm, yang ini gimana yah. Udah jelas banget ini masih 5 dan jelek, karena duit tabungan dikit banget, sering dibelanjakan hal-hal ga penting, apalagi soal makanan. Iya, habisnya untuk hal-hal konsum yang ga keliatan batang idungnya :( So ...... Nabung!

3. Intelligence (6/10)
Sejujurnya dari gue masih merasa belum kerja cerdas, alias belum terlalu efektif. Sering banget kurang attention to detail, dan mengulangi proses yang  sama over and over again. Yups, ini persoalan tentang manage diri, serta minimnya pengalaman. Yet, masih merasa analisis yang gue generate not insightful enough :( Dalam hal Big Picture masih jelek, serta belum capable breakdown thoroughly. Obviously need to read more and more!

4. Social (7/10)
Doing oke, but stuck with same not-so-great circle. Iya, ini yang gue maksud temen hang out :( Kayaknya perlu cari mentor/teman lain, yang mana konteks cerita tidak berkaitan tentang Cewe, kehidupan kuliah, gosip, but knowledge/ skill we have instead.

5. Fun (6/10)
"There is no end in Food". Unfortunately, this life is boring as fuck. Recently, I thought it's more fun when you can around with your family instead. Seriously. Need to change my POV about "Fun" tho. Huhuhu, terkesan sedih ya hahaha.

Baiq.

Sekarang saatnya masuk ke bagian penting. From my current stage, how far I should move to the next level? Everything would be answered one by one, for each category instead.

-- Health (Possibly move to 8/10)
How come? Sudah jelas, hal yang paling utama harus w lakukan adalah Diet. Yang menurut temen gue kate, adalah perbaiki pola makan (of course with the diet itself). Gue akan mengurangi carbo dan fokus ke protein/vitamin instead. Yups. kalo beli nasi harus 1/2 atau tidak sama sekali dan diganti pergedel :") For protein, gue kayaknya berputar di telur atau ikan, serta memperbanyak sayuran! Agar....

Sebuah visi
Serta
Sebuah visi.
Masih terkait kesehatan. Gue harus akui kalo gue sangat kurang olahraga! Yaps, karena sesungguhnya tidak ada manusia yang benar-benar sibuk, w jelas tidak mempertimbangkan/ memprioritaskan hal ini :') Samsek. Jadi, dengan menargetkan hal ringan, yakni lari minimal 30 menit sehari. W rasa itu tidak sulit dibuat. Belum lagi setelah update hal ini, temen w yang runner langsung japri w terkait .... Berlari sambil meditasi :) Yups, lari tanpa musik, dan berdoa/ hitung nafas instead. Thanks mike sarannya!
Bismillah, lari akan dimulai pagi, so .... harus bangun jam 5 banget!

Meme pemberi semangat
Sip.

Terakhir, dari hampir banyak artikel yang w baca, semua merekomendasikan untuk tidur minimal 7-8 jam. Tbh gue udah ngelakuin itu sih. Tapi .... Gue kan biasa tidur jam 12an tuh, terus bangun jam 8. Padahal most successful person most likely get up early every single day. To get the extra hours and refresh thy mind to its fullest. Artinya .... Gue harus perbaiki pola tidur gue! Instead of sleeping at 12, I want to move it to 10/11 instead. Bismillah!

-- Wealth (Improve to 7/10)

Hahaha, Meme ini selalu muncul dipostingan w
Yoi, perihal Wealth ini bukan perkara simple kan yah ._. Jadi gue udah berniat untuk saving duit x Mio perbulan. Cant give you the number but .... the point is, if I could rise my salary -perhaps to 30%*- this year, I intent to save it all monthly. Yups, would reduce things that consume my money unnecessarily!

* could be rose in many ways :D

Cause this one (?)
-- Intelligence (improve to 7/10) ya

Tbh, gue akan mencoba untuk lebih masuk akal dalam men-set goal gue. Bukan berarti gue anaknya ga risk taker ya, tapi baca buku itu habit baru untuk w. Mungkin waktu kuliah sering, tapi most likely sering lompat-lompatin juga, apalagi dibatasi dengan term waktu dan hal yang harus dipelajari ._.v

Oke, goal gue simple, at least namatin 1 buku perbulan (perhaps can be achieved 1 hour day worth reading a day) + doing online course 1 jam perhari + Baca quora/ random business article setengah jam perhari. Artinya, itu 2 setengah jam ekstra untuk doing something loh. Dan gue harus komit dengan hal itu ! Bismillah !


-- Social (Improve to 7/10)

Nah, kalo yang ini penting nih, buat nambah relasi. Thanks to "You are the average of 5 people surround you", I got the idea who I should relate to. Relasi itu penting, mungkin ga sekarang, tapi bisa jadi di lain waktu. Might be I am the one who need them or vice versa. Nah, gue akuin dari sisi sosial gue emang belum terlalu pede. + Gue sering banget nih misal ke acara meetup, malah main sama temen w yang udah w kenal :( Padahal ..... kan tidak begitu. Harusnya malah gue push myself to get friends/ sekedar kenalan as many as possible ga sih.

So .... gue harus berubah nih, rencananya sih mau cari kegiatan Volunteer atau sekedar ikut random meetup dengan same interest yang gue ingin bangun. Gitu.

I set deadline for volunteering stuff at 31st March 2018. Hopefully could get it soon ya.

-- Fun (Improve to 7/10)

Oke. Kayaknya tahun ini gue akan mencoba lebih banyak piknik. Dan gue sadari kalo gue tuh sukanya sama udara segar yang bisa gue hirup terus-menerus. Dan .... Bogor harusnya bisa nyediain itu! Jadi .... gue kayaknya minimal sebulan sekali akan ke Bogor buat sekedar piknik dan enjoy udara disana. Jika perlu, pergi ke daerah rindang buat sekedar senang-senang.

Pastinya, bakal mengurangi

Hahaha canda, gue mah anaknya ga pernah begini. Lul
Sip.

Sekian dulu gaes yang bisa gue share malam ini. Semoga tulisan ini bisa menghibur, menyemangati, dan tentunya ..... kalian bisa menjadi reminder tentang perjalanan w di tahun 2018 ini hahahaha.

Goodnight folks!

The Beginning of New Year Resolution - An Unexpectable Approach

00:38 rafi 0 Comments


Oh. My. God.
Current stage of Me

Jadi gini gaes,
Karena sekarang lagi jaman-jaman-nya new year resolusi, yaudah kan gue iseng-iseng buka Quora gitu :( Terus nemu pertanyaan simple banget "How can I improve myself in 6 month".

To be honest, it's like 7-10 minutes worth reading, tapi gue terinspirasi banget sampe-sampe rela nge-screenshot atu-atu dan post ke Instastory gue :") Alhamdulillah banyak yang terinspirasi juga sampe-sampe minta link-nya sama gue kan. #ShareIsLove #ShareIsLife

The thing is, He told me about 5x5 rules. All about 5 people around you, which makes you the way you are, somehow, they could affect you personally tho. 5 habits you do, which is about things you always do, somehow affecting your life broadly. 5 ideas you have, need to be written everyday so that I could be creative af. And 5 content I consume ._. which directly hit me, since I used to spend my time for @Drama.olshop or @drama.ojol even @hahaha.official. What a shame :")

Tertebak

Oke, the list keep going down, dan gue semakin terinspirasi untuk berubah. It's not only about writing my goals are, because 2018 resolution would be January resolution and stuff, since it would die eventually. Jadi kalo w mau berubah, yah emang harus dari niatnya dulu!

Nah ..... lagi-lagi, kalo mainan gue udah quora, itu pasti nagih banget. Nemu hal-hal serupa apalagi masih fresh banget kan New Year -shit- resolution ini. Gue nemu tentang "How to be skill master" and stuff gue lupa pertanyaannya. Inti dari jawaban sikawan ini, actually if you want to master-ish something, you should spend at least 10.000 Hours. Iya, 10.000 Jam cuy ! Itu kalo lo mau master-in 1 skill doang :( Gimana kalo target lo banyak? Dan gue pun sebenarnya menyadari kalo jadi "master" not something you could do so fast. Doi juga ngasih contoh kayak Mozart/ siapa gitu lupa gue nama musisinya, jadi master di bidangnya setelah spending 10K hours and stuff through out thy life. Dan masih banyak lagi contoh realnya. And they did some spectacular shit tho.


Fortunately, ada banget cara "short-cut" nya. Yups, three of them are ..... having Mentor, Reading Books, learning through video. Oke, to be honest, I do have mentors, which is my current GM and ex and current Team Lead, which had taught me anything they knew via their life experience. Yups we're talking about 10th-ish experiences loh, which is gue pribadi selalu masukin saran mereka dalam top-list pertimbangan gue. Oke, gue pribadi juga sekarang lagi belajar terkait work-ethic mereka yang gue anggap luar biasa dedikasi terhadap perusahaan tempat mereka berkerja. And to be honest, only passed several days lah, ketika GM gue pulang duluan dari kantor, itupun terjadi kalo emang ada sesuatu, atau .... weekend. Bismillah.

Me menyemangati diri sendiri
Next. learning through video yah.

Oke, gue pribadi emang lagi ambil course online sih terkait MBA to improve my business skill, so I already took it seriously, and already finished > 70% of course (120 out of 150-ish video). Yah walaupun belakangan karena load kerja padat, ga sempat juga nonton. Tapi gue pribadi juga sebisa mungkin menjaga kualitas tontonan gue. Haha. Selain yang itu-tuh *gadeng canda

Sip.

Terakhir, gue pun akhirnya dihipnotis untuk BACA. BACA. BACALAH. Kenapa harus dipertebal? Karena gue baru tahu, it's literally impacting yourself banget loh. I mean you could probably save 2000-4000 hours just by reading some stuff in accordance with skill you want to improve. Belum lagi, "reading could unleash things you didn't even know exist" - Elon Musk. Dan iya, gue juga baru sadar banget :( Alhamdulillah juga sih sering baca-baca Quora, jadi ga tertinggal banget sama  ilmu yang begini.

Btw, gegara demam hal begini, w sampe spending 500K buat beli buku hahahaha. I am broke af, but I take it as investment lah. Alhamdulillah w juga sesuka itu sama buku yang beli. Sangat memotivasi w yang hanya butiran debu, remahan rengginang, yang masih belum ngapa-ngapain selama w 22 tahun hidup*

*If I compare with these distinguished person, refer to my hero, Elon Musk :3

Me: I need to buy this book asap ! Also me:
Iya-iya, w tahu kita gaboleh terlalu nge-compare diri kita terhadap capaian orang. Tapi menurut bukan hal yang baik juga jika menganggap diri kita saat ini, terasa baik-baik saja. Things should be changed in a positive way!

Haft! Baiqlah

Mungkin inilah sejenak curhatan hamba. Jangan anggap hamba katrok, alay, ikut-ikutan bikin resolusi fiktif, dkk yaps haha. Karena niat baik harus ditanggapi dengan baik pula. Hahaha #pansi. Won't give any fuck juga sih if I were judged :D

Thank you !

My Man!

00:23 rafi 11 Comments


Malam gaes!

Jadi gini, gue habis aja balik dari Bogor, menikmati not-so-long weekend bersama keluarga gue yang ada di Bogor. Utamanya, gue emang rencana mau main bareng sepupu gue serta pacarnya sih, ngajakin adik gue juga sekalian ketemuan sama "Bunda", atau kakak alm mama w yang udah w anggap ibu w sendiri. Hehehehe.

Percaya atau ga, long-weekend waktu natalan kemarin, gue ga kemana-mana :( Literally di kosan doang sambil nonton terus online course, tidur, makan, apresiasi diri sendiri dengan nge-go-food, dan siklusnya gitu-gitu sajo. Mangkanya, di penghujung tahun kemarin gue  bertekad untuk tidak mager dan se-egois itu .... Walaupun ada harga yang harus dibayar, yakni uang dan waktu hahaha #plis

Nah ...... plan-nya adalah, kita mau bakar-bakar sate dan jagung gitu ..... Sampe lah nanya ke orang Bogor ada atau ga alat pemanggangnya, dan ternyata ga ada.

Ga berhenti sampe disitu, planning pun beralih ke plan B, yakni BBQ di tempat kakak w yang di Depok. Gue pun mencoba hubungi via WA, selang beberapa jam tiada terbalaskan


Gue pun mencoba tuk menelpon namun tak diangkat. Usut punya usut, doi lagi rame toko-nya (Alhamdulillah), mangkanya sangat tidak sempat cek HP huhuhuhu.

Sempat pupus dan mager karena hari sudah semakin sore, akhirnya gue cari-cari pesta tahun baru di Monas gimana sik ..... nemu di google dan ..... langsung send ke grup Fams.

Eh gue kena semprot, sepupu gue merajok hahahaha

Gue akuin gue emang rada ga ngotak sih haha.
Sembari dikompori sepupu dan keluarga lain yang ada di Medan, percakapan sempat mencapai klimaks, dimana sepupu w udah semakin ogah (dan gue juga ngerasa bersalah wakaka)

Yaps, adek w juga makin badmood karena kondisi semakin ga jelas.
Selang beberapa jam dan difollow-up lagi sama doi. Gue yang sudah mager akhirnya memutuskan untuk TETEP JADI ke bogor, tapi bakar-bakarnya gajadi. Intinya kesana buat main-main dan nongkrong. Nah karena sepupu gue ini juga udah ngenes liat kelakuan gue, dan sempat planning ke puncak naik Motor, gue pun follow-up supaya mereka ga jadi pergi kesana dong. Yaiyalah lo kipir aja gue 2 jam perjalanan ke Bogor, terus basi karena ditinggal mereka pergi. Ogah gue,

Karena kondisinya udah gaenak, gue japri aja si Oji (Wanaufal) sambil follow-up, dan doi sepakat ga ke Puncak heuheuheuheu (*maafin gue yak :") )

-- Sesampainya di Bogor --

Yes! Sampelah gue di Bogor jam 8 malem. Pas pula ketemu sama Bunda dan langsung salim, terus cerita-cerita bentar heuheu. Kita pun planning mau pergi kemana. Terus dengan sok ide, kita rencana ke dekat Air Mancur Bogor palingan ada acara gitu harusnya. Kalo ga makan-makan sambil nikmati Car Free Night sabi sih. Akhirnya, setelah cerita-cerita cimpi dan gosip-gosip keluarga yang gajelas, kita jalan langsung. Kita pun ga memilih naik Mobil karena .... yaelah, di hari biasa aja Bogor tuh macet geula, apalagi saat-saat begini, bisa metong dan berkerak di jalan kita cyin!


Yaudah cus kan kita jalan.
"Njir, helm cuman 3 cuy, gapapa nich?" Gue ngomong.
"Elah, gapapa cuy, tahun baru ini mana mungkin polisi mau nangkepin, lagian si Fikri juga udah biasa lah gapake helm" saud si Oji.
"Oke, kalau ketangkek (read: ketangkep), w ga tanggung jawab yak. malah SIM w metong lagi" w potong.
"Inilah kan, kalo waktu sekolah gapernah keluar waktu tahun baru, cem gapernah piknik ko wak" si oji cakap.
"Anjeng" me, nge-respon.

Oke.
Kita pun jalan kan, kondisinya Bogor sangat berangin lah cuy, w aja kedinginan. Iseng-iseng, w cek si Fikri sok-sok-an gapake jaket. Langsung gue semprot tuh anak gausah sok-sok-an. Walaupun doi bilang ga dingin, gue bilang aja 

"U gausah mencoba-coba Tuhan, coy. Kalo ko Hipotermia kek mana, paru-paru basah, banyak lah pik" Gue  samper.
"Elah bang, gua ke Peratapan (tempat bakar Jagung di Gunung Berastagi), pun gapake jaket b aja."
Dia ngejawab.
"Itulah otak kau, sama aja kau kayak abang kau, belagak. Intinya ko kurang2i sombong kek gini dek, gausah sombong kali kau jadi orang." W makin kesel
"Iyaloh" Jawab doi santai.

Oke, sesampainya kita di Air Mancur Bogor, sempat agak kembut juga karena banyak kali polisi disana. W pikir doi menilang, kan. Untungnya banyak juga warga yang gapake Helm, dan .... selamat!


Hahaha. Nah, kondisi sekarang Alhamdulillah ga terlalu macet, mungkin karena long weekend, persebaran orang jalan-jalan lebih  luas kali yah. Kita pun tercengang, waktu ngelewatin Jalan, banyak banget orang udah piknik dan gelar tiker di Taman Sempur. Cius. Kita jadi tertarik kan untuk kesana. Apalah daya ga ada lahan parkir sist. Kita memutuskan buat cari tempat parkir yang aman dan agak Jauh sih jatuhnya. Tentu sajo di Upnormal! Sayangnya, jam masih sekitaran jam 10, dan itu masih lama pasti dari acara utama ! Hiks.

Kita mau nongkrong di Upnormal, sayangnya padat merayap :/ Ngantrinya sampe belasan, akhirnya kita memutuskan buat jalan ke McD yang masih 500an meter lagi lah. Hamdallah, waktu di Jalan, kita nemu Fat Bubble yang ternyata ga terlalu rame! Sampelah gue beli Chocolate Milk Tea + Pudding Chocolate (The f baru sadar kenapa gue paduin Coklat sama coklat yak). Harganya 23K doang!

Duh sorry yah nyomot di google karena w ga se-alay itu buat foto-foto makanan heuheu

Kita pun sempat foto-foto gitu gaes biar agak kekinian dan update Insta-story kita #penting


Heuheuheu. Maafken ke-alay-an kita yaps haha.

Oke.
Karena waktu udah menunjukkan pukul 11, kita pun memutuskan untuk jalan ke Lapangan Sempur. Sekitaran 1km lah dari Fat Bubble. Disana, gue sempat mengabadikan beberapa momen ramenya tuh lapangan + macetnya tuh jalan cqcqcq.


Tbh, maafin caption-nya yah hahahaha. Since we're celebrating this "New year eve", perhaps for some people, we're be like "AutoHell" and "AutoNeraka" tho. But that's oke coz YOLO. Haha.

Adalagi kondisi waktu pulang tuh macet banget!!! Mau jalan aja tuh susah pisan euy, padahal w pedestrian. Thanks to WRP, gue udah agak langsing dan bisa nerobos macet hahaha

Oh iya, untuk masalah "Gimana sih kembang apinya ka?"

Yah kembang apinya sih B aja, soalnya juga ternyata yg di sempur itu bukan acara pemerintah, tapi dana pribadi masyarakat yang mau ngidupin kembang Api. Beberapa doang sih yang gede, sisanya mah sedang lah. Tapi alhamdulillah masih bisa menikmati momen beberapa saat.

Anyway, alasan kenapa w ga rekam.

1. Kembang api gitu2 aja
2. Hp w jelek, kualitas 3gp kayak ngerekam b*kep
3. Instead of recording, why don't I enjoy the f up the firework, right? Gue belajar, banyak orang yang sibuk ngerekam sambil insta-story, tapi justrul melewatin momen indah kembang api. Ketika lo ngerekam, lo ga ngeliat indahnya tuh kembang api cuy, malah sibuk fokus ngarahin kamera, dkk kan? Yups! Gue belajar itu kemarin!!!
4. Pusing juga euy menengada keatas sambil ngerekam pake HP


Yups! 2018 pun tiba, malam masih panjang, kita akhirnya ke Upnormal deh buat -lagi-lagi- makan. Nah, kita pesan Pisang greentea + Pizza Mie + minum lemon/ sweet tea.  Aji mumpung di upnormal, niatnya mau main UNO. Eh abis alat mainnya :(


Agak sedih ya, kita pun akhirnya download Ludo, sambil cerita-cerita gosip keluarga (lagi). Haha. Endingnya adalah, kita taruhan deh jadinya (ini fix autoneraka sih, malah taruhan haha). Yaps, taruhan, 2 orang yang kalah, harus teraktir 1 Pizza mie !!!! Karena kita keadaan laper, dan kami, para pekerja (gue dan oji), sudah kehabisan dana cuy!


You know what, it takes literally 2 hours buat nentuin pemenang :( Semuanya gapake strategi jitu alias ..... "yang penting gue bisa mati-in ludo masing-masing orang." To be honest, gue super kesel sama ketawa adik gue yang super duper nge-nyek. GUE SELALU JADI KORBAN, dia selalu dapat 6, dan ..... dengan enaknya ngetawain gue dengan muka yg sangat minta ditampol. Kalo lo udah nonton biskuat, gue literally mirip sikawan

"Jangan sok iye deh, tampol nih muka lu"

Yups. Disaat-saat terakhir, doi tinggal masukin 1 lagi pion-nya kan. Dia tinggal dapetin angka 1 cuy, tapi .... gadapet-dapet, dan .... GUE MENANG! Asli dewi fortuna masih sama gue ! Pelajaran yang gue dapat adalah ..... Ditengah2 permainan, gue udah sempat diminta nyerah kan sama sepupu gue 

"Yaampun gini mah udah kalah hitungannya. Udah masih mau tetep lanjut cuy? Nyerah aja sik"

"Kagak! Gue masih lanjut, udah kalian main aja"

Eh taunya gue tetep menang :") kan senang. Kalo aja gue nyerah tengah jalan, harusnya gue yang teraktir.... Padahal endingnya gue masih punya chance untuk menang dan terbukti menang! Intinya jangan menyerah cuy!!!

Haha, baiklah waktu udah jam 3, upnormal udah mau tutup juga. Kami pun balik ke rumah dengan wajah kemenangan gue!
yey!
Jadi apa poin cerita ini? Ga ada sih, kind of curhatan karena emang se-senang itu bisa ada waktu buat nyenangin diri sendiri serta main sama keluarga. In the end, the closest place on earth, where you can share your story, is your family, right?

Thanks gaes udah nyempatin baca!
