You Know Who You Are

What do you want?
Now you’re sitting in front of computer. Wandering nowhere. Seeking for something you don’t know what exactly it is.
So, I ask you once more time : what do you want?
It’s easy to say “I dont know. I don’t know what I want.”, but it’s not easy for me to hear you keeping complain on your condition.

You know what you want the most. The only thing that stopped you to find it is the voice. There’s no wrong trying to listen for an advice, but it’s wrong to believe all things you heard from someone else. You’re too much listening on others, and that sure will make you nuts.

Retreat before you get prey by your own evil. Clear your mind, focus on your breath, find your destination, prepare anything, and take the first step towards your destiny. This is your life. Take the most precious lesson from others.

Free yourself from your own jail. I know you can do it. Keep fighting and never disappoint yourself. I don’t know who you are, but you know who you are. Be the best for yourself, buddy…

Can you believe that?

What question me the most is that the number one and number two of the list are from golf sport.
Unbelieveable…. Golf is not so much popular compared to soccer or even baseball (this is based on my own opinion, correct me if I wrong).
So, how can they earn that much?

I think that most of these athlete got big sum of money from advertising, and if golf is not the most popular sport, then golf shouldn’t have much audience, and ultimately advertising will not effective. But the reality speak out the opposite. Are they aiming at high class consumer or what ?

Incredible.

New Year… Same Spirit…

There is no significant change happen in 2009 for me, since I feel the same. The old habits is repeated every year. Not only me… but almost everyone do the same thing as new year came by.
This is a small example…

great sale sun plaza medan

It’s a big sale. New Year Sale…
Yeap, it happen every year near the end of previous year. People are very busy, making such noise in every corner of the plaza.

It’s normal since we all know that we’re now facing global recession and we have to take advantage of every saving chance that comes.

2009 is also same as the previous year,… if we won’t call it worst.
Self control again is an issue. I did realize that our mind state and our mood is much more influenced by external factor rather than internal factor.
We’re somehow connected with everyone and everything around us.
Our work partner, our family, our financial, etc…
You can see that every entity around us is having much influence on how we react at something, how we think, and how we feel when we’re facing certain circumstances.

We’re connected each other and our destiny, our pathway of life often go into wrong direction as we try to save ourselves or defend ourselves.
Life is about survival, right?… but sometimes we’re applying wrong method to survive… and we never know it !!!

Now, I’m living with full of insecure feeling.
I have a lot of worries, and I don’t know where I’m heading into. I hope that I’m not heading into the death valley.
