Teamwork : various fish inside an aquarium

Many types of people we must manage in a team, each one has specific and unique character. In our country, many people still don't understand the meaning of teamwork. Team, in many forms like family, department until a country, has goals that each of the team member must understand. But we must remember that every goals must have backup plans and those also must be understood by the team members. That's the basic principle we must established before we continue to the next level.
Managing team members is another challenge. As the head of a team, one must recognize the positive and negative traits of each member. Place them in positions they are best at, but if your condition is not that ideal, use the available resources and maximize them.
Conflicts usually happen, although sometimes it's not necessary . To prevent it, each member must understand their job description first and that's the responsibility of the head of the team. If it occurs, an immediate meeting is necessary to discuss the problem and solve it like how grownups do.
It is time for us to be more mature because with greater power comes greater responsibility.

when we look at the night sky & watch the stars, do you know that you're actually seeing the million years ago version of the stars?

this proves that time is relative. watching those stars makes me think how unworthy we are.

how we corrupt our lives just because we wanna have luxurious cars & gigantic houses that will be destroyed later when the sun -our star- at the end of its' life explode & suck everything we have into a thing, a substance, an entity called "black hole"

And no... None of your money or power will save you.

Dear, elders... Who takes care of you??

Seorang ibu usia di atas 70 tahunan berjalan memakai tongkat di lorong rumah sakit. Kurus, berambut putih, berpakaian pantas, tertatih. Jarak antara pintu depan tempat ia masuk ke rumah sakit itu ke tempat di mana ia bertemu dengan saya sekitar 200 m. Ia bingung mencari tempat untuk berkonsultasi mengenai penyakitnya, yang ternyata tempat itu masih berjarak 300 m lagi dari tempat kami bertemu. Suaminya telah lama meninggal, ia hanya tinggal berdua dengan anak tunggalnya yang menjadi tulang punggung keluarga. Itu sebabnya ia datang sendiri ke rumah sakit.

Bukan anaknya yang ingin saya permasalahkan, tapi bagaimana di negara ini belum ada kebijakan yang bersifat "menyayangi" orang tua dan penyandang cacat. Mari kita hitung berapa tempat fasilitas umum yang memiliki ramp untuk pengguna kursi roda atau paling tidak steel bar di dinding untuk orang-orang yang mengalami kelemahan pada kakinya hingga kesulitan berjalan.

Tidakkah kita ingat, mungkin saja di masa mudanya mereka adalah pahlawan-pahlawan yang membuat generasi kita sekarang bisa menikmati kebebasan luar biasa seperti ini?
Mungkin saja dari tangan-tangan mereka telah lahir orang-orang luar biasa yang bisa dibanggakan di negeri ini?

Yang mereka butuhkan bukanlah sebuah penghargaan berlebihan, eksploitasi berlebihan oleh media apalagi harta benda.
Mereka hanya butuh disayang, diingat
dan tidak ditinggalkan begitu saja oleh generasi penerusnya

Terima kasih, bapak-bapak dan ibu-ibu yang saya hormati...

Expectation

I've spent my life trying to live with others' expectations. When I couldn't make them happy, it's a failure to me. But there are some people who just can't be satisfied. So, now I just do my tasks as if I die tomorrow. It's between me and God. He's the only one who knows that I've fulfilled my responsibilities. Not other people unless they're open-minded. I'm sure, there will be the right moment, the right place and the right people when all my thoughts and acts can be understood

Etika

Hari ini status profesi sy disalahgunakan oleh seseorang demi kepentingannya sendiri. Sy sdh memperingatkannya ttg sopan-santun di sebuah instansi tapi krn yg bicara anak kecil, tentu pendapat sy tdk diacuhkan. Pada akhirnya usul sy dilakukan tapi nama sy sdh dicoreng oleh orang itu. Bs saja sy diingat oleh org2 di instansi itu dan dicap sbg org yg seenaknya sndri, pdhl sy hny dimanfaatkan

Terlepas dari itu semua, sy jd ingat sebuah kalimat ironis, " Istri pejabat lagaknya lebih dp pejabat itu sendiri "
Sy rasa pendapat itu trl seksis. Laki2 pun bisa begitu.
Jadi kesimpulannya, jika anda memilih profesi tertentu, beri pengertian kpd org2 trdekat anda mengenai pekerjaan anda dan segala aturan formal maupun non-formal yg berkaitan dg hal itu. Apalagi jika anda blm menikah, silahkan ditatar dg benar calon pasangan anda, apakah mereka bnr2 paham konsekuensi2 dlm profesi anda.

Enjoy ur day

Pagi ini..

Dua ibu-ibu merapikan rumput di pinggir jalan raya yang penuh kendaraan berkecepatan tinggi. Apa mereka tidak takut ditabrak?

Seorang kakek-kakek yang sangat kurus mengayuh becak yang mengangkut alat untuk menambah angin pada ban kendaraan. Mengapa setua itu ia masih bekerja berat?

Lalu melintaslah sebuah bemo dengan tempelan stiker " Saya Bersyukur "

Subhanallah..

Ringo is Sick :(



His name is Ringo, but we call him Linggo, Ling Ling or worse, Ing Ing :P
A few days ago, he got sick, he won't eat or drink, just curl himself next to me. Later he vomited badly so I admitted him to the Setail vet hospital

I won't say much but overall I'm pleased with the staffs there. They seem to care so much about animals unlike the other "you-know-where" vet hospital. When I asked questions they answer patiently. And so until today, it's been 6 days after his first admission, I can see a significant progress on Ing2. Before he can't move, just wag his tail, vomiting. But today, he eats some cat food, drink on his own will and now he can walk around looking for a (female) friend :)

I hope he'll be home soon. Miss you, my little Garfield :)




There, there, there

I'm proud to be a woman because men can't be us while we can do (almost) everything they can

what is death?

Is it when u can't move ur body?
Is it when u can't feel a thing?
Is it when ur heart stop beating?
Is it when u can't breath spontaneusly?
Is it when ur brain stops working although ur heart's still beating?
Is it when u lost ur will to live?
I'm 24 years old. I study medicine. I still seek the answer.
So for those who by accident or not cause death on someone or some people, u may rethink again about how complicated life & death are.
Think before u act.
