One nice thing to have nowadays compare to several decades ago is: we are now have vast array of choices, look at shampoo for example, there are more than 1500 SKUs available in the store, which one is the best for you?
Tell you what.. they are all the same, just select randomly, you will have a pretty good chance that the brand or particular SKU is good for you. Yes one probably slightly better than the other, but do not waste your time too much on making decision, just choose one and move on.
One thing that I’ve learned from golf (which I am not good at) is: Practice can actually do more harm than good to your gameimprovement. If we are not getting the basic right, practicing can actually make us comfortable in the wrong position. We can still hit the ball, but it just not ideal.
Writing should be using the shoulder girdle*
I also read a website about hand writing*, it says that most of us write using wrong set of muscle. We suppose to use more of the shoulder girdle muscle instead of finger muscle, but most of us do just the opposite. Fine writing no longer taught in the school since 1970s hence most of us do not get the basic right. As we practice more and more, we are now comfortable using the wrong set of muscle. We still can write alright, but generally not as good as our parents and quickly feel fatigue on the long writing
My point is, although we are comfortable of certain way in doing something, it doesn’t mean that we are doing it right. We may need to fine tuning it a bit or completely unlearn what we have learned so far to be able to do it new ways.
I am not suggesting that we re-learn everything, but it is good idea to re-learn something that is very important for us.
For example, if like me, speaking / writing English is important and I’ve learned it by way of autodidact in the entire my life. I probably have to fine tune or overhaul my English writing/speaking. I can be comfortable writing the article in English, but as see, you will find a lot of shameful grammatical errors or word choices in this blog.
On the other hand Golf play is not important for me, I can live with handicap above 20 for the rest of my life..
To fine tune or overhaul our skills, it is a good idea to have a coach, someone who understand how to do it best (either pro or not). If we can not have a good coach for whatever reasons, the second best option would be books, internet etc.
And only then… practice like crazy… :) do not forget to evaluate the improvement during the process…
Have a little (or big) project for your self, something that makes or keep you happy, anything…
If you are a “company drone” like me, you will have a lot of projects from your employer. That projects are designed to make our employer happy. To be honest, I can tell that our employer is genuinely want us to be happy, the happier we are, the better we are at work, the more capable we are to make profit for the employer which is their source of happiness. In turn they can provide the salary increase or bonus that also one of the source of our happiness… :).
I said one of the source… because salary increase, promotion and bonus may be only a hygiene factor* for us, means… that’s not enough..! So we are responsible for our own happiness… Very cliche but it’s true… we need to find something specifically designed for our own and only our own happiness, not too selfish I hope… :). Sometimes we need to stretch and challenge our self to get very rewarding experience.
Some Examples:
Buy luxurious item / vacation that we really want (Without using credit card or sacrificing monthly expense) (challenge us financially)
Kejadian yang agak memalukan ketika yang terhormat wakil rakyat yang tergabung dalam Komisi VIII bertemu dengan PPIA (Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia di Australia), terjadi kegagalan komunikasi diantara keduanya.
Kenapa bisa terjadi kegagalan diskusi mungkin adalah hal yang menarik untuk disimak, mungkin hal yang terbesar adalah ketidak adanya “trust” diantara keduanya. Dan kepercayaan memang sebuah hal yang susah untuk anda dapatkan ketika anda menjadi politisi.
Kita tidak percaya bahwa studi banding para dewan terhormat memiliki nilai guna yang tinggi dibandingkan dengan biaya yang ada.
Kita tidak percaya bahwa dewan terhormat memang melakukan study banding (kecuali study harga barang2 mewah)
Dan ketidak percayaan itu menjadi semakin kuat ketika attitude dewan yang terhormat melakukan jurus pamungkas mereka ketika tidak mampu menjawab pertanyaan… yaitu berbohong seperti yang ada di video di bawah ini…
Baru saja beberapa hari yang lalu saya posting tentang E-Sport, ternyata saya menjumpai balihoo besar tentang turnamen play station.
Hadiahnya cukup serius.. Sepeda motor bertebaran jadi hadiah, bahkan salah satu hadiah utama adalah wisata ke kota kota besar dunia… Mungkin juga utk mengikuti peertandingan tingkat dunia… Whoa..
Pertama tama saya agak bingung, siapa yg iseng bikin turnament ini… Produk apa yang di sponsorkan, kalau melihat penyelenggaranya adalah salah satu Universitas swasta, kemungkinan besar dia ingin lebih dekat dengan target pasarnya, yaitu anak muda… Yg sekarang ini kebanyakan olahraganya adalah main bola di… Well… Play station :)
