The Sunday Drive

Okay so, I went to get my car a pair of shoes (read: tires) yesterday. It took them so very long, since the shop was having electricity blacked out and it was really hot. Then I went home, take a refreshing cold shower and boost my way to the church.

After church we went for a dinner in Mbok Berek, then out of the blue I suggested to went to the mid night sale in Senayan City, and suprisingly everybody agreed. So we went there, I got my buddy a birthday present, but it wasn’t a sale item, Adit got him a new pair of converse shoes, after a long debate with himself about getting a new suit for his bro’s wedding, which end up with not getting it.

Our last stop was Sour Sally, I’m pretty much sure that half of our intention was because I mentioned, that the shop branding was done by those great individuals over at Kinetic – Singapore. Everybody agreed that it was a nice the yoghurt and smoothies in Sour Sally except for Chris, actually his drink tasted like something you can get from the school’s canteen for quarter the price.

So on the way back home this thing happen

Reach for the Stars

Perhaps this is the tag line of my life. I’m so boosted by this saying by Leo Burnett:
“If you reach for the stars, you might not quite get one, but you won’t come up with a handful of mud either”.

Speaking of this quote, reminds me of this story told by one of my friend back in college. That time we were having this break between classes, and as usual we went to bowling alley. In the car while we were going to the place, I was asking a silly question, “In this world, why kids always answered astronaut, doctor, architect, etc when they asked about what would they become? Why no one answered low level job like, driver, beggar, parking officer, etc”. Then all of sudden one of my friend said to me that I should watch what I’m saying, then he began his story.

His dad has five siblings. When they were all little, their parents asked the five of them about what they want to be when they grown up? My friend’s dad answered that he wanted to be a director, his little sister said that she wanted to be a chemist, the other sisters wanted to get a PhD, the other one I forgot what he wanted, and the little one said that all his siblings had way to high expetation for their life, so he wanted to be just a coolie that worked on a ship (here we call it anak buah kapal). Their parents thought it was just saying, so the time passed by and there came the time when they became an adult. So all this people got exactly what they wished for.

This is a true story, I don’t know whether the little one got a better life now, I do hope so. But the thing is that you got to mind whatever you dreamed of, especially when it comes to saying it.
I certainly believe what you dream of, what you’re saying drives you to your future. So, dream big, really really big. People said don’t dream to high, cause when you fall it’ll hurt, but who cares hurt will heal, just climb high your ladder!
It will be really sad if at the end of your life you found out that you actually capable of climbing hundreds even thousands stories high, but in the real fact you only climb a few.

Little Big Things in Life

I was in the church the other Sunday with my friend, where the pastor told the following story.

Once upon a time there was this professor teaching in his class. He brought this fish bowl and then fill it up with several big chunk of rocks. He asked to the class whether the bowl is full, and all the class unanimously said yes. Then the professor continues by stuffing the smaller chunks of rocks, and he asked again whether the bowl is already full or not, then again the class answered yes. This time the professor stuffed up the bowl with gravels and asked the class whether it’s already fully filled, and all said yes again. But, the professor hasn’t finished yet, he took white beach sands and fill the bowl up, then he finally said “now it is full”.

He then asked to the class. “What lesson do you learn from this illustration?” And the class answered, “No matter how tight your schedule is, you can always have rooms for little stuff, so managed it well”. “Well, that’s a good conclusion”, the professor said, “But here’s the real lesson”. This is the thing that spooks me.
Imagine the fish bowl is your life, and rocks, gravels and sands are priorities in life. Always put the big priorities first into your bowl, then fill in the gaps with smaller ones.

Often in life we forget what matters most, and in our day to day it’s easy to get stuck in little things that matter less for our life. So, it’s good to have a little time to set back and check our priority, and be really sure that you work on things that matter most to your life.
