Ruangan Baru dan Free Pitching

category : general

Awal bulan ini saya menempati "ruangan kantor baru", yang baru di renovasi habis-habisan. Dinding ruangan yang serba merah maroon dan rak buku yang menghiasi kantor kecil nya VK. Akhirnya juga aku mengunakan koneksi Telkom Speedy.

Kesibukan sebelumnya adalah ikut beberapa pitching, dan semuanya tidak berhasil :) antara lain Poster Design, Website Design --- Soalnya freelancer seperti aku gak suka yang namanya free-pitching.. Proses creative itu gak bisa buru-buru, Boss.

Trus, sekarang di VK ada dua staff baru yaitu Roelof dan Jefta. VK juga menyediakan satu line telephone dedicated untuk client-clientnya. VK akan mempersiapkan design baru untuk vikingkarwur.com (rencana mo ikutan lagi cssreboot).

Well on your way

category : share

Keep your eyes on the goal and your feet on the path. Let the long-term consequences of your efforts encourage you forward as you give your focus to the task at hand.

Any achievement is within your reach because the next step is always accessible to you. You can take that step any time you decide to do so.

And when you do, the step after that is suddenly there for you to choose. By putting one foot in front of the other, the once-distant goal grows closer and closer.

Yes, it will take sustained effort and commitment. And yes, you are fully capable of doing whatever it takes.

Your dreams are longing for you to bring them to life. And the process of doing so will indeed bring you more fully to life.

You can do it, in this very moment, and in the next, and in the next. Set your sights high and keep moving, for you're already well on your way.

Choose the direction

category : share

There is energy available to you in every situation, every encounter and every moment. And you can direct that energy in whatever way you choose.

That's how it is possible, and can even be quite likely, for a tragic situation to give rise to a beneficial opportunity. Once the energy is flowing, it can be directed toward any purpose.

Though it certainly takes effort and commitment, illness, for example, can provide the springboard to improved health. Injustice can similarly be transformed into caring and compassion.

A highly adversarial relationship can be changed into one filled with love and respect. The most bitter of enemies can become the greatest of friends.

The energy is always there. What you do with it and the way you direct that energy can make all the difference in the world.

No negative outcome is a foregone conclusion as long as you have the will to redirect the energy of life toward positive purpose. What energy can you redirect on this very day?

Point your hope

category : share

Let hope encourage you to take action. Don't let it be a substitute for action.

To have hope in your heart is more than to merely wish. The power of hope comes from the effort and commitment it inspires.

Hope can give you a reason when no other reason is there. Hope can make the impossible happen.

Yet for hope to work for you, you must work for it. Hope is not a free ride, but rather is a deeply compelling and meaningful path to follow.

Make the effort, do the work, deal with the challenges, and hope will prove to be an indispensable ally. Add the fervor of your hope to the effectiveness of your actions, and you'll have a winning combination indeed.

Point your hope toward the highest peak you can imagine. Then give the best that you have to see it through.

Warso Farm

category : general

Hari sabtu kemarin, setelah di traktir makan sama Eva (teman-teman kuliah nya di UKI juga datang) di Hartz Chicken Bogor. Saya dan rombongan menuju ke Warso Farm.

Ada apa di sana ? Di Warso Farm : kamu bisa melihat kebun durian dan membeli durian. Kebetulan kemarin itu yang ada hanya Durian Monthong, yang harga 1 kg nya Rp. 30.000,- (sekitar USD 3). Duriannya rata-rata dari 1,5 kilo sampai 5 kilo ada di sana.

Tips buat kalian:
* Sebelum datang ke Warso Farm, lebih baik pagi-pagi dan juga pesan dulu lewat telp.
* Kalau mau membeli durian lokal, katanya awal November akan tersedia semuanya.
* Bawa uang tunai ya... gak bisa pakai debit apalagi cc kalau membeli
* Jalan menuju ke Warso Farm tidak ada Pom bensin, jadi isi dulu di Bogor baru menuju ke Warso Farm

BTW, foto dan info alamat & no telp Warso Farm menyusul ya!

Update:
Kebun Durian Warso's Farm

This grand opportunity

category : share

From where you are right now, the possibilities stretch out, as far as you can imagine, in every direction. Which ones will you choose to follow?

There are things you currently know nothing about, that you can learn. There are places you've never heard of, that you can discover and know.

There are endless combinations of people, places, things, ideas, and events poised to come into your life. Which of them will you choose to experience?

There are magnificent achievements, perfectly suited for you, which you have not yet even considered. There are things of great value that can flow from your passions, your skills, your knowledge and your willingness to make something meaningful out of it all.

The problems are many in this world, yet they are very small indeed when compared to the possibilities for a rich and fulfilling life. On this day, in this moment, you have the opportunity to choose from among a delicious variety of potential paths.

Life begins anew with the breath you take right now. Seize this grand opportunity and make it truly great.

Go with it

category : share

Life can be great when you simply go with it. Instead of excessive worrying or endless analyzing, just make your choice and then move forward with it.

Your first instinct is often your best one, because it comes from your authentic self. When you start taking a lot of other conflicting opinions and perspectives into account, your options quickly shrink.

Certainly it pays to think things through, and to consider the advice of others. Just don't let it all dilute the passion that can energize your life.

Trying to make the perfect decision can often lead to no decision at all. Trying to avoid every mistake can be the biggest mistake, because you also avoid getting anything done.

Though you can plan for the future, you cannot precisely predict it. So go ahead with the best you have, and you'll be completely able to deal with whatever may happen.

Even though it has no guarantees, this day is an incredible opportunity. So step confidently, enthusiastically forward with a smile on your face and go with it.

Live for

category : share

Choose to live for, rather than against. Focus on what you love and not on any kind of hate.

Practice genuine, cleansing forgiveness, and let the burden of resentment fall softly away. Remind yourself that worry accomplishes nothing worthwhile, and give your awareness to more productive pursuits.

Put your energy into building what is creative, valuable and empowering. And you won't have to constantly fight against what is destructive and draining.

Concern yourself more with accepting responsibility than with assigning blame. Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you.

You have so very much to live for. Look at each twist and turn in the road with a grateful heart, and you'll find real treasure in every direction.

Live your days on the positive side of life, in tune with your most treasured values. And in each moment you'll have much to live for.

The day that is

category : share

This is the day that is. This is the day you now have.

There's nothing to be gained by wishing for what might have been today. There's no value to be had in harboring resentment for whatever brought you to this point.

What matters now is that you fill this day with the best that you have. What matters now is that you make full and positive use of the day that is.

This day has the very real potential of being a turning point in your life. Years from now, you could be looking back on this day with an overflowing sense of satisfaction and gratitude.

What can you do, right now, that would cause that to happen? What value can you put into this day that will grow ever more precious as time goes on?

This day is the time and the place for you to carry your life forward. So where do you choose to go?

The power of humility

category : share

In genuine humility, there is enormous power. Free yourself from the demands of your ego, and there is no limit to where you can go.

Let go of your desire to control others, and you vastly improve the ability to control, focus and direct your own actions. Let go of the illusion that you already know it all, and you open yourself to higher levels of enlightenment.

Move beyond the need to blame, and you gain a greater degree of responsibility. Get past the impulse to place judgments on others, and you're able to focus much more clearly on matters of real and lasting value.

Give up the thought that you're better than everyone else, and a whole new world of opportunity opens up to you. Stop seeking unfair advantage, and you're free to develop an unstoppable effectiveness.

Quit demanding the most and start expecting the best. You'll experience a level of true abundance that you never before could have imagined.

Live each moment with humility, love, respect and gratitude for the whole of life that surrounds you. And you will find a treasure that has no end.
