You are your worst enemy! The quote that everyone knows for sure and the quote that make us wonder, whether are we against our true self or our surroundings? Well, no one can defeat you as terrifying and as powerful as your mind.No one can take over your whole life, neither you can love or hate someone so much if it's not you and your mind who allow and decide it. Have you ever thought why someone  dislike or hate you? How can someone have those negative thoughts about you? Where those thoughts come from? Did they heard from their surroundings, did they feel intimidate with you or did they have bad experiences with you that you didn't realize But what if you don't even really know that person except having basic conversations and yet the other person show disrespect and dislikes you out of no where? Everyone must have been in that one situation when you have no idea why the other person act  disrespectful with you, without you  don't even know a b...

BACKWARD BUT NOT BACKWARD  is currently the situation I'm facing but this time, it does not get me worried. This is a common situation when we think and how other sees us that we look like we are stepping backward, but we know that we are not moving backwards. A bit confusing on expressing it but this word popped up right out of no where. Let me try to give an example of my current situation. I'm running a graphic design company with failed management for the past few months that caused the team performances to be slow. Apart from that, with poor management also caused me, as the marketing manager unable to get more project(s) in a day. I just did not have the right team members and that lasted for quite long. My company was in a silent mode for a while as I planned to just keep everything as much as we can, not more, not less, just dealt with limitations. It was truly hard, I felt things were unmoving, everything went backwards especially in financial matters; ...

Intention is the word that came out from my mind that I would to share my thought about it. Intention (noun) is something you want and plan to do  according to Cambridge's dictionary. Somehow, it is related to the previous topic called promises.  Whatever we are telling what we want to do if we have this, if we have that , those kinds of beautiful sentences that we are giving strong intention towards it, you would say "... at least he/she have good intention" but you know intention  will just forever be an intention, an imaginary plan, until we respond and take action. Intention is the first step, the first acknowledge but often in times, we manipulate other's people mind or we get manipulated by theirs. How many times have we manipulating an intention? It is okay to be honest to yourself because I'm sure the answer would be many times, and now, brutally speaking, how many times others (even the closest ones) manipulated an intention toward us? Precise...

Personally, I'm tired of excuses, I'm tired of false hopes, and the most I'm tired of believing it. It does not just apply to other person , but it also to yourself. How many times have we make promises to ourself that we can't keep? or simply because we forget the promise(s)! Ask that to yourself and then say sorry. Your heart deserved an apology, don't you know? Now,   please  STOP MAKING PROMISES  that you are strongly believe you can keep or can't keep or keep denying.  Remember , why do we make that promise on the first place? Promises are spirit lifter and destroyer at the same time depending on how you chose to react . Your promise(s) can either raising up your spirits, motivation and whatever you may called but the same promises which you  are unable to keep can put you  down mentally and physically.  When we make a promise, whether to ourself (most importantly) or we believe in the promises other made for us, we have make an agreement not ...

Listen - Read - Understand If you listen, then read the situations and the message(s), then you'll understand on how to reply whether with silence, action, talk or doing nothing! Yes, no reaction is an answer too, if you are truly understand and aware.  For me, who is a combo of introvert and extrovert, I tend to answer with silence when thing goes too wrong. However, unfortunately, not everyone aware of the silent treatment, because  they do not want to  understand.  The art of understanding requires  you to analysis , to recall,  to observe and to decide. A simple gesture just by giving a smirk or only replying in three words are the answer that you may expected or not.  The art of Understanding  does not mean you understand of what's happening; often you misinterprets or make your own interpretation. It all begins with the first - The Art of Listening. You have to spend time to listen, you have to be in silence to listen, and you...

Previously,  I wrote " The Art of Listening " and now, I'm going to continue with The Art of Reading . Reading in here is literally about analyzing the situation, digesting the messages we have perceived by listening. I'm sure we are exhausted with people who love to yap before they read and digest the message(s). For instance, my mom whose has become her habit to just "make her own conclusion or ask  the same questions over and over because she didn't want to listen.  The art of not listening is  a habit!   It becomes someone's habit and perhaps yours. Yes!  I doubt you may agreed but it is becoming your habit and ending up become your character. It is just like the art of listening, those who didn't listen most of time or didn't read properly most of time, are making these repetitious mistakes as a habit. We have become accustomed  to. Of course, we  won't be putting our attentions to everyone fully especially when we are busy or ...

Lately, I'm trying to be patience but instead what I got is this simple lesson called "The Art of Listening". The art of listening sounds so simple but yet, it's one of the hardest for most people. Personally, I think it is not all about age factor, it's more about our " intention" . Do we intent to listen and understand or less listening and more of replying? Totally, I agree with the quote above. I know we are not perfect listener or/and sometime we aren't focus, but whatever the reason of us for not listening, we have to make sure the other person know it. It gets tiring, that " the art of not listening " have turned into habit. At first, we may ask ourself, maybe the way we talk is too slow? or too loud? or too fast? that person either lose an interest of the conversation. But if he/she keep repeating it most of time, it shall be called as a habit. The same for us, if we are not willing to listen but yet eager to reply, then w...
