In the right gear

The 1973 vw beetle with four gears...

nuetral, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th.. at some time reverse

all following the squence... there is not short cuts.. there can not be a jump from 1st to 4th... it is not good..

If you do not want to put the hard work why not just have a automatic car... or an instant car? that is would be fast.. that wouldn't need thinking that wouldn't need energy...

everyone must respect the process.. everyone must feel all the levels, stages or phases.. it would be meaningless to look at the final result... without any relevance to the process..

my country a culture of meaningless results... meaning results due to the poor process

if you want fast why just not join a runncing race? you want 100 m or what

the process is about taking your time.. it is about being patient

process is about trying.. process is about learning and making mistakes

then finally leanring from your mistakes...

don't be afraid to make mistakes... don't be afraid to take critics from others...

can't you see our mistakes are an opputunity to learn..

keep you eyes open.. but more importantly keep on listening

do not shut up the world around you... having the listening skills is the part of the learning process..

there is so little that we can give but there is so much that we can take

there is a limit to the our sacrifce based on out capacity... but it is unlimted to learn something new

learning is about developing, it is about building, it is about construction.. it is about a strong foundation..

my life is a life long learning... some people say i am a "eternal student" or in the indonesian "mahasiswa abadi" ...

and this status does not need to limit my self from the only being admitted in one university UII or two university UGM, but i am a "mahasiswa abadi" and the world is my lecture and my experince is my teahcer...

i may not not read too many books, but i read the messages from peoples advices

i may not have a mountain of experience, but my experience are listening to other people stories..

i may not be an expert in astronomy but i know that a full moon will create high tides in the beach..

i may not be a weather man but i know that when it rains in the night the morning will be shiny..

im not a geniuos... im not smart... i just try harder to understand.. i just try my best to have the right questions.. because in my life some times i dont have the rights answers...

sometimes i make mistakes.. some times i have the worng answers..

what i understand is that there is no one perfect...

what i understand is that people have weakness..

i respect people who make mistakes, people who know what have been done is worng and does something about it..

that is about biting the bullet.. that is about being responsible..

i don't run away from my problems.. i face it head on head..

if there is problem about me just spill it out... shout it out in front of me..

don't go behind my back.. just confront me... it can be that im wrong and you are right...

my country a culture of false sense of responsibilty..

i have responsibilty and if i make a mistake.. i will not blame others.. that is being responisble...

that is what i have learnt with my life...

im trying to get the gears right.. hope are are tyring too...

that is my message to you...
