When Honest Is Not Enough

Few month’s ago I believe that being honest, kind to other, and spirit to help the other is enough. But now, after I working at the biggest company own state eveything is seems different. Honest people is not enough, we have to compete with the other, you need more than just honest.

What is that?
That is passion, desire, speed, hardwork and persistent.

In this company, you will be compare with the other. If you want to grow fast, you want to shining, you have to show your passion, desire, speed, hardwork and persistent.
I’am kind of ordinary people that love my live, I love to live my life in a good way, balance life. After working in this company after 5 month, I can see what value in my friend. Which one that have career orientation, competition motivation. And I’am not one of them, I still live my life like I should.

Is they are wrong?
Absolutely no! I believe people like them is needed. This country and my company need them. What it will be this country without them? This country will not develop. So I decided to be more ambitious, without leaving my honesty.

Quote from The Jakarta Post :
Community is sick, exam cheating seen as normal.
It is no wonder that our country is losing the fight against corruption.
Similar to corrupt people who justify any means to become rich, students cheat to get good exam scores.
These kids will grow into corrupt adults who will cheat and manipulate their way to reach wealth and success

PS : please inform me if there are any incorrect writing, I know I did many mistakes.

Feel : I'm Not From Around Here

Dear My Friend....
I hope this letter never finds you in anytime. Coz I just need to express my thoughts without having to ruin your day.

Yah....perusahaan baru, lingkungan baru, kewajiban baru (Semua tantangan baru)
Life is a choice, life is an an adventure, life is bigger than what you think.

Barang siapa yang pernah pindah perusahaan mungkin pernah mengalami ini, apalagi kalau proses kepindahaanya dengan cara yang tidak mengikuti prosedur. Yup, saat ini saya bekerja di BUMN terbesar di Indonesia, dengan status trainee. The problem is, saat bergabung ke tempat baru ini saya tidak bersama dengan teman-teman satu angkatan yang lain. Atas nama komitmen terhadap tanggung jawab saya menyelesaikan project yang telah diberikan perusahaan saya sebelumnya terlebih dahulu baru setelah itu saya masuk ke perusahaan baru. Nah karena harus menyelesaikan project ini, aku masuk telat 2 minggu di banding teman yang lain. Rasanya seperti anak SD yang baru pindah sekolah, teman-teman yang ada disini sudah saling mengenal satu sama lain, sudah tinggal bersama selama 2 minggu, tiba-tiba ada lagi tambahan satu orang asing (aku) disitu.
Bagaimanakah rasanya???
Ya, seperti yang bisa diperkirakan "Feel Not From Around Here"
But that is a challenge, i believe this only will happen in a few weeks, or a few month, and after all i will feel like the champions. Because if I left my previous company and my manager without finishing my responsibilities, that will create guilty feeling in my whole life.
So this feeling is better than guilty feeling in entire of my life...
Easy Guys Stay Calm

Persistent

All we are heve master plan of our life. May be since we child we also already plan of our future, than when we teenage we have another plan for our future, and may be after we adult he have another again plan for our future. Sometimes we changed our plan because we make adjusment in our current condition. We make plan based on actual condition. For example when i'am child i want became a football player, than in my teenage i want to be engineer, and in senior high school i entry in social major, than i want became an accountant. I'am entry university in psychology faculty, faculty that i never think before..so i choose become an enterpreneur after graduates.
But became enterpreneur is very hard, so i choose became employee...first i think that i want working in oil and gas company. But my major not so needed in this industry. So i think that the most important is i working in big company. And now i already working, and i want to working in bigger company, but sometimes that is hard for me, sometimes i feel inferior, i feel down, i disapoointed to my self from what i have done.


So what is make us always change our goal and disappointed to ourself?
The answer is very very simple....
Lack of self persistent, lack of our commitment...


If we do our best, what ever the result i'am sure that we will satisfied..
Than how to improving our persistent?
Easy, first enhance your intrinsic enjoyment of the pursuit, as the effect that will improving your self-discipline

And after all, so lets enjoy our life than more discipline

Between Loyalty, Personal Achievement, Family Expectation, and Ideal Life

In our career, especially when we start establising our career there are many choose that we are facing with. This step bring us in dilemma situation. That is what now i facing with.
At this time i have job in one of PMA (Perusahaan Modal Asing) in Indonesia, more special i working in Japannese company, with good position, enough salary and clear career step. I'm is newbie in this company, stil six month here. I'm join in this company after enroll and pass the selection process of this holding company (one of the biggest company in indonesia with total employee) so of course i thanks to God for all that i have.
But as usually, human have ambition and disatisfaction, sometimes this good but sometimes this also forbiden. Last week i enroll oil and gas company that owned by goverment, and this afternoon i got call for following the selection process. Honestly, join in this company is my goal when i was at university. So this condition take me to the dilemma, because now i still working and the selection will held in working days. Another dilemma is because i still new in this company, still there are nothing big that i give to the company, its not so ethic if i leave the company. Even also there are no guarantee that i will pass in this selection. But if i make comparation this situation is seem a boy with girlfriend made approaching to other girlfriend. So is what i do is betraying??.
My father of course want me to join in this goverment company, and i'm sure that will make him proud. This is also my goal, my personal achievement (one more time there are no guarantee i will pass the selection. But i also have loyalty side, my thanks to my company now, how they have give good treat to me, how they very welcomed to me.
Dilemma

Is That Enough?

First i want to say sorry if awhile you read my blog make you confusing. I know that my english is bad (acakadut), but i want to learn writing in english by this blog, is that wrong? If any complaint just come to me.
In this time, i have one year complete have account in blogspot. Maybe not to many post that i made, but i will try to increasing my creation. If one year ago my status still a student in university, now i have different status, more responsibility, less time for a moment like this (a lazy time for doing nothing).
Introspection today is about what i get now
Yes..... Human is a creature that never felt satisfied with what they get..because we only human. In this theme we must seeing not only from one side, because in other side unsitisfied is positive, eager to learn, to achieve, to progress is came from unsatisfied.
If I think again about what I get now, I should thanks to the god for what I have get. Me which from elementary school till now is a bastard, can get good enough job, in good enough salary, in big enough company. Maybe there still many of my friend which get better company and better salary than me, but exactly they deserved for that, because they had been make more effort than me.

What should i do with what i get now (income that's i mean). Syafi'i Antonio, master of islamic finance, suggest about allocation of our income. This is his suggestions :
1. Saving
2. Pay Loan (If any)
3. Zakat
4. Invest
5. Shoping

Okay, because this is sunday and i'm still not clean yet my vehicle, enough for today..
