The Play

March 27th, 2008 | → 1 Comments | Thoughts |

Sit here, in the center front row of my own life. As an audience, an actor, and in the same time as a director for this play…theater of life. Which the scenario isn’t mine. The scenario that very dynamic, control by the unseen power above the sky…beneath the earth…inside the universe.

You’re welcome to my play as an actor or audience, you choose. For free. Just watching or acting plot by plot. Learn from chapter by chapter. But the conclusion is all yours, not mine.

How we play it? Just read the FAQ that scattered all around you. Blowing in the wind…hanging in the top of a tree…inside faces of your honest friends. It’s all there in your surroundings. Wait to be read.

Where we are going to? What is the ending of this play? Don’t ask me…please write an email to the universe. It will answer, maybe not directly. But I promise you, it will answering you…in unique way that you cannot imagine.

Do you have the universe email address? I lost my contact address book…

Yesterday, new friend of mine quote from Anand Krishna: “If you can accept death as like as you can accept birth, then you’re become one with Him. Everything it doesn’t matter anymore, you will receive total calmness in your state of mind.”

We in life are get used to dualism. Black and white, evil and good, death and birth, and so on… When at certain point we can accept both things of those dualism in this world, we have possibilities to know the truth about the life it self, about our truly beings in this relative world of life.

Happiness is the most important thing that people try to reach in many form of act. In the journey, shadow of the past and uncertainty of the future corrupting their mind and take control of their destiny.

Well, the topic is just to heavy to be discussed. Me, my self, preferred to keep the dialog inside my heart…

 

Maturity

July 15th, 2006 | → 0 Comments | Thoughts |

Maturity, is something that time will tell to you in person…not as someone else. You can be what you wanna be today, but maturity is something that drives you in the right path of your journey, to view a problems as an opportunity or to face mistakes as a lessons to live. To be mature, sometimes you need rock and sand as an obstacle along the path. Rock and sand that lies in the middle of the road. Rock and sand that teach you what’s right or wrong or even something just very simple in this complicated life. In this journey, we observe other people path sometimes, trying to learn from someone’s mistakes or someone’s victories. But the real lessons lies inside your heart…in your own journey…in your own class of life..in your own destiny. You become your own tutor and at the same time become your own apprentice. Maturity…is something about experiencing life it self…with rock, sand, tap in back of your shoulder, or celebration of your victory… or maybe just a little bit appreciation from people you love…

Lets live life to the fullest…

 

Passion of Work vs. Reality

September 30th, 2005 | → 0 Comments | Thoughts |

I define working as:

(Attitude + Skill & Knowledge) x passion

Every component in above formula have a significant contribution to the result. But, we have to test it first.
And know I’m trying to use some of 1 to 10 scales for every component, just to try to figure it out (3 for bad, 7 for average, 10 for excellent):

Sample#1
Attitude = 7
Skill & Knowledge = 7
Passion = 10
(7 + 7) x 10 = 140

Sample#2
Attitude = 10
Skill & Knowledge = 10
Passion = 3
(10 + 10) x 3 = 60

Sample#3
Attitude = 7
Skill & Knowledge = 7
Passion = 3
(7 + 7) x 3 = 42

Sample#4
Attitude = 7
Skill & Knowledge = 7
Passion = 7
(7 + 7) x 7 = 98

It seems that passion have more significant contribution to the result. Can you imagine how passion drives your result!

So, how it is if you in a cross road that you have to let go some of your passion about work (I mean, some specific type of work), because that’s the reality that you face. Are you going to become an idealistic person or just opportunistic man? Is that what you really want for life? Are your family drives you? Is your “bourgeois” stomach drives you? Is it if we let the reality drives, we become a whore of life because we deny what we are really wants? I don’t have the answer right now!

Can you re-program the state of your mind to become the one that you’re not wanted to be? The question still lies…

 

South Park

South ParkSouth ParkRecently, I become an addict to this cartoon series called “South Park”. Even their theme song always “playing” in my mind…. It is not a good cartoon for toddlers, but hell yaa….it’s a good one for adults like us.

The story it self sometimes not as deep as “The Simpson” if you seen it already. South Park is more in the dark side of all things…the dirty speech, the moral of the story, the silly things that become a main topic of each episode (thanks to the creator, Matt Stone and Trey Parker).The uniqueness appear very strong from the main character, Cartman, Kenny, Stan and Kyle, who has different family background with different problems. Cartman who raised by a single parents and make him become a spoil annoying kid, Kenny who has a very poor family and a looser drunken addict father, Stan the cutest one that in one episode his mom and dad separate, and Kyle the smartest one from a Jews family with a dominant mother. The whole story is package with many other characters like Mr. Garrison, a fourth grader teacher who had a split personality or Uncle Jimbo, a Vietnam war veteran who really love to hunt (they coming right at ya!). Can you imagine how twisted it is?

No matter this cartoon is so twisted and sick, but still, they try to send a message to us. Message about life it self from perspective of four fourth grader kids, that sometimes become naïve and positive about everything.
Can we have a clear mind of a child and not contaminated with all the sickness that happened all around us? At least we can keep on trying…
