Improving on "Messed Up"

Have you been messed up on life? Our life upside down? Nothing is working? Feel so  desperate but no good result at all.

Well, you're not the only one.
10 years ago, I messed up my life. After graduate from high school, I didn't know what I want to do nor what I like. I was an Introvert type guy, I had only few friends and also almost every day played games without social activities. Even worst, I didn't go out at all, except going school of course where it's just a few metres from my home.

My fault indeed. As a result, I was so ignorant. Know nothing.

My biggest mistake was choosing "wrong"  university and  "inappropriate for me" major. I gotten myself to Informatics Degree which I "dislike" it now (maybe traumatized).

Why? Well, just say that I am not "coding" person, I cannot see a lot of "text / code" at once to browse bug and debug it???? It's just not so me. Also I dislike how we students lifestyle on that university, oh well "programmer lifestyle" actually.

Wake up (whenever can get up, it could be dawn 3 a.m. or noon 11 a.m.), sit on same chair everytime when code is needed. Code for hours with a lot of frustation, bug bug debug, "what??? new bug appeared? oh man" and so on. Go to college till 6 p.m. Go home. Go back to that chair again. No social, nothing like I plan with my life.

MESSED UP!!!

When I think about it now, there are lessons I could learn about. That is :
* Collect a lot of informations before you choose your path of journey. With clarity, you can choose with better judgment and of course will leave you with less / no regret on future.
* When you "messed up" your life, that means you will grow but if you learnt from the mistakes you made. So, slow down your life, enter your higher self state by meditating, find the cause which "messed up" your life, find solution and overcome it.
* As soon as you "messed up", take care of it A.S.A.P. before it's too late (longer you delay to take care of it, worse problem it will be, like in my case : " messed up" life I did give me "Insomnia" problem now, and other problems too. Like stress (which I have overcomed by now).

Sorry about my rant. I wish you the best journey and be legendary.

When "Doing Nothing" Actually Give You More

Doing nothing but give you more? Isn't it counter productive? Yes, if you completely do nothing in your life, but that is not what I want to write on blog post here. It is more to do with doing nothing for your healthy inner self. Photo Credit:  After 10km trail, a rest.  via  photopin   (license) We, human beings, aren't robots. Even machines need their own off times. That's the idea. You need it. It is not only normal rest, I know people's definition of rest on these days are watching tv, playing games, surfing internet, and anything that have correlation with technologies. I tried it myself recently, I turned off my handphone, I backed off from my computer, and I didn't watch tv. What did I do then? I did nothing. Breathed. Watched the best movie on the world (real life) outside of window. It is best if you can go to park and enjoy the world. Forget about your jobs, forget your to do list for a bit, do nothing. When you do it, feel your body rela...

The Key to be An Expert or Grandmaster on Your Field

If you have read Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, you know the answer : the 10,000 hours rule. But the problem is practice that much time only is not enough. Photo Credit :  874791 via photopin   (license) The 10,000 hours rule concept was introduced in academic circles in the early 1970s, and was popularized by Malcolm in his 2008 book. That's approximately 20 hours a week for 10 years. If you want to be a world class performer, this cannot be avoided. Every greatest man on this world got through this, no matter how talented or genius you are, you will not become the best on the world without live through vigorous training before you show yourself to the world. Even Ernest Hemingway did it, Van Gough had drawn countless drawing before making a contemporary painting we enjoy today. And maybe you already know, Michael Jordan trained himself a lot of freethrows and numerous core training everyday before he becomes a legend. But, it won't make any different, if you...
