Kerjakan Pekerjaan Rumah Anda Setiap Malam 

Anda mungkin bisa menuntaskan apa yang semestinya anda kerjakan setiap hari dengan berkerja keras di akhir pekan. Namun, bukan itu makna tujuh hari dalam seminggu. 

Agar seseorang sembuh dari penyakitnya, ia harus minum obat setiap hari, bukan meminum seluruh dosis di akhir pekan. 

Agar seorang siswa meraih kenaikan kelas, ia harus mengerjakan pelajarannya setiap malam, bukan membaca bertumpuk buku sehari menjelang ujian.

Ini adalah prinsip sederhana produktivitas. Produktivitas bukan sekedar menghasilkan apa yang bisa kita hasilkan sekarang atau esok. Namun, menjaga agar manfaat dari hasil itu bisa diperoleh sebaik-baiknya hingga di masa-masa mendatang.

Mungkin anda bisa menghafal semua pelajaran anda dalam waktu semalam, namun jangan menyesal jika itu hanya bertahan semalam pula.

Karena itu, produktivitas selalu berkenaan dengan waktu. Sedangkan waktu adalah ketekunan, kesabaran, dan ketahanan diri.

After the wedding, honeymoon phase. Mmm, it was that fun, though. But, since I know this blog has other reader I tried to cover my bad stories. Wasn't like how I intended this blog to. After baby and few jobs, well, my life is actually getting better but still focus on my miserable life! (and list of hopes too) Last one, I wrote so many "haha" after a sentence that I think awkward, which now I find it annoying. Ha! (not haha)  I thought I was a positive person. But, it seems just to cover things up.  Even "let's giggle" this blog tagline is a survival, convincing my life...

“Thank you steve jobs, thank you oprah winfrey, thanks you stanford, thanks you youtube, thank you MEDIA.” (it was my tweet today) I heard few things from stanford university commencement speeches. How lucky those stanford graduates to have amazing people and amazing speech in their graduation. Things that really stuck on my head are lessons of “connecting the dots”, to believe that the dots will somehow connected someday, “Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”, and the courage to ask yourself “what’s in here to teach me?” in every condition you’re in. ... .. . . . ... ..... . . . . .. ... . .. ... . .. .. .. . ... .. . . . ... ..... . . . . .. ... . .. ... . .. .. .. . .. .. . . . ... ..... . . . . .. ... . .. ... . .. .. .. . ... .. . . . ... ..... . . . . .. ... . .. ... . .. .. .. . ... .. . . . ... ..... . . . . .. ... . ...
