being 20 something is kinda hard

being 20 something is kinda hard. i've been thinking about it lately, and i still havn't got a clue.
every decision that i make these days, it has a great impact to my future. Deciding where to go, working 9 to 5? make ur own business? volunteering? being an elementary teacher? which one suits me the most?

i won't spend my youth era doing things that i won't enjoy it, and lately i think working 9 to 5 would be boring. Is that true? i don't know..
is working for myself better? i don't know..
how about volunteering, is that could fulfill my passion? still havn't got any clue..
being an elementary school teacher would be very nice.. but i'd prefer having a school, where i could read them stories, and everything.. sadly, it still cost money..
i expect something better than what i've faced these days.. i expect extraordinary options..

uh, i guess am not the only one who facing this multiple choice problem. i bet all of u who read this has experienced this uncertain feeling. i think i need advice...

first thing i should do is gain more informations about the options, shouldn't i?

hmm..unless i lose my passion and dreams, i think i can handle it, but ur advice r still welcome.. :)

wanna try to answer one of your question:
"... working 9 to 5 would be boring. Is that true?"

No, it won't be boring at all if you like the job and if the job is chalenging enough for you. So, if you've decided to become a 9to5 worker, make sure that you choose the right company and the right kind-of-job..

Gudlak ya tiek!! Selamat menjadi twenty something (^o^)

I rather think this way... that we actually have to decide first the future, what kind of future you want to have? When I talk about the future, I refer not to the job itself, but what kind of life you want to have, what kind of house, what kind of car, where do you want to go for a vacation, those kinds of things. I'd say you build the whole package of your dream first, not only your dream job. Why? Because I think what makes us happy is not the job, although I admit that the job will cost 8 hours of your day, and is one of the ways to find the happiness. What actually makes you happy would be the satisfaction, and the job is not the only achievement in the world that can satisfy you, unless you are a workaholic.

After you have the whole deal of your dream, keep that in mind. Then , consider the best option you have that will bring you closer to the dream, not options you want to have, or you think that you have. Start as soon as possible, as soon as you're ready. I'd say as a starter, take any opportunity you have, and take the biggest one, cause in the future when you have the biggest one in your hand and you are bored, you can easily change to the next best thing. Do not limit yourself and be ambitious, think about others after thinking about yourself, cause you can give after you have everything.

By setting the goal first, I think it all will be easier, somehow. Just like a running tournament, you know there is a finish line that you really want to pass, you know that you have to run anyway, although it is indeed true that you might need some special tactics to beat your rivals, believe me that you already learn enough about running so that you know when to slow down and when to sprint so you don't really have to be so nervous about it, it all leaves one thing behind, to actually run and start the running competition. It does not matter which tactic brings you to the finish line, the finish line would be still sweet after all.

hope this quick note helps :)
although I can't prove that it will be the wisest piece of advice. But good luck anyway! (Hope this doesn't come late for you, since I don't know if you have graduated and found your dream job)

Cheers,
Putri

Idola Cilik, sudahkah adil?

Sore ini selepas pergi bersama teman untuk menonton pertandingan tenis, saya menemukan para penghuni kos sedang berkumpul di ruang tengah untuk menyaksikan idola cilik. Saya merasa kangen nonton acara ini, karena dulu saat belum masuk babak 14 besar,saya sering sekali menonton acara ini.  Sebuah ajang bagus untuk pengembangan minat dan bakat anak-anak, sekaligus memberikan inspirasi bagi ribuan pemirsa kecil lainnya yang terlalu bingung dijejali sinetron-monolog-yang-mengumbar-gambar-orang-melotot. Lucu dan menyenangkan sekali pada awalnya, hingga pada sore ini pandangan saya terusik pada sistem eliminasi idola cilik. Menit demi menit saya mencoba menikmati rangkaian babak hasil "result show", tapi yang berputar di kepala saya hanya "kenapa begini? kenapa begitu?" Berdasarkan informasi yang saya kumpulkan dari teman-teman kos yang mendukung Cakka dan Obiet, serta satu orang yang mendukung Irsyad. Saya coba buatkan rangkaiannya. Para kontestan cilik diberi kesempatan

Kembali ke Kelas Inspirasi

  Apa yang pertama terlintas ketika mendengar Indonesia Mengajar? Anak SD, pendidikan, masyarakat yang mengajar. Begitu pula yang saya pikirkan ketika itu, berbagai orang bersedia mengajar untuk meningkatkan kondisi pendidikan di Indonesia.   Desember 2011 itu, kami sepakat untuk merangkul para ‘kelas menengah’ di kota besar untuk ikut andil dalam pembangunan pendidikan. Salut untuk ide Safira Ganis, Ika, dan teman-teman pengajar muda yang baru kembali dari tempat penugasan. Keceriaan itu disebut, Professional Volunteer Program (PVP). Untuk menyederhanakan narasi “membangun gerakan pendidikan masyarakat”, kita mengusung ide kegiatan relawan untuk menjadi gaya hidup “Loe gak keren kalau belum jadi relawan.”   Hasil pertemuan itu melahirkan  Kelas Inspirasi  sebagai wahana/alat/kendaraannya. Idenya sederhana, para kelas menengah pekerja ditantang untuk cuti sehari, berorganisasi dalam kelompok, mempersiapkan materi pengajaran sendiri, lalu mengajar tentang profesi

untuk mahasiswa ITB dari Rendra

saya rasa kita semua yang mengaku orang muda, berpendidikan, punya berjuta teori yang mau dibenturkan dengan dunia nyata, punya berbagai idealisme yang belum diwujudkan, yang masih diam sampai sekarang (seperti saya), yang mau berubah, yang mau bergerak untuk siapapun, bangsa, umat, atau diri sendiri.. harus baca puisi dari sastrawan Rendra ini, tanda bahwa 30 tahun mahasiswa masih menghadapi masalah dan dilema yang sama. . sampai kapan mau diam dibalik menara gading ini?? menghisap sebatang lisong melihat Indonesia Raya mendengar 130 juta rakyat dan di langit dua tiga cukung mengangkang berak di atas kepala mereka matahari terbit fajar tiba dan aku melihat delapan juta kanak - kanak tanpa pendidikan aku bertanya tetapi pertanyaan - pertanyaanku membentur meja kekuasaan yang macet dan papantulis - papantulis para pendidik yang terlepas dari persoalan kehidupan delapan juta kanak - kanak menghadapi satu jalan panjang tanpa pilihan tanpa pepohonan tanpa dangau persinggahan tanpa ada baya
