"Just Do It"

"Just Do It". I love this Nike's trademark. Whenever I see their ad whether online or offline, it never fail to inspire me. It does clearly say what it is and straight.

Do it.

A lot of people not do what matter to their life. Not do their passion. Not do new business. Not do participate on competition which they actually really want. Not do the trip they longed for.

Rather do it, they make excuses : "Will I be able to win?" or "I don't know where to start" or "I am too old for this" or the best is "Is there any guarantee if I do that I will be success / happy?"

The answer is I don't know. The truth is nobody on this world know what will happen on future.
But don't get it wrong. If it is your decision to not do it, that is okay. I support your decision. It doesn't mean you are a loser, no, you are cool.

The big question is why they do not do it. The answer is procrastination and fear. And the medicine is "Just Do It".

I don't say that you must immediately quit your full time job right now and pursue your dream, no don't do that please ☺. What I suggest is start do pursue what matter to you.

#1. Do Research


Before you get start the journey, research and get as much as information on the subject. It is like you want to go to the trip. Gather informations about cool locations you want to go to and how to get there also how much is the cost.

It works on the same manner on other fields / business too.

After you gather informations, there is still fear lingering in your heart. "Can I do it?". Maybe, I cannot guarantee it will work, but I am sure that it will not work if you do nothing.

#2. Do Start It


Start to do it. If you want to make a new business. Start it. Start build your website if it is digital business what you want. Start drawing the sketch if you are an architect and so on.

#3. Do Improve and Get Feedback


After you start it, you will make a lot of mistakes, but from that very same mistakes you will learn something and improve.

Try to get feedback from others, so you know that you walk on right direction. Do it again with improvement you have learnt and keep repeat the process (do mistakes-learn-fix). Someday, you will see your back and surprised on what you have done.

Just do it. By doing you will learn and improve. By doing you will be able to transcend your fear and stop your procrastination habit.

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...

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 lifesty...
