How To Choose The Road For Future (V1)

Let's start with a short story that i heard since i was in school. Once upon a time, there is a father and a son. The father asked his son, "Peter, what're you going to do in the future?"...The son thought it deeply then tell his father that he wanna to be a millionaire since he's growing up in a slumdom. The father then throwed another question to the son, "What do you want to be in order to be a millionaire?". This time, The son thought seriously and it took him longer time than the first question. Finally he answered his father that he wanna to be a governmental officer. The father laughed and he explained to his son that he's not thinking carefully before answered the questions either.

From story, it indicates that i am merely thinking like the kid in the story. Sometimes i admit that i might do decision without thinking logically especially when it relates to my future. But, i would like to ask, how many of us as a human being can really figure out the best way in our life? I dare to say most of us "No". Therefore, there are many books and references, some sort of "Golden ways to grab bright future","Poor Dad Rich Dad",.... are well published in the market today. Perhaps it might useful for a portion of people but still, i do think that the key to succeed in life should be experience. As the saying goes, "no pain, no gain". So, first time failure not representing the whole life destiny but just because the god wanna give you a chance to gain experience. In the stark difference, time is playing a good role to enforce your ability to struggle with those failures and frustration. Let's continue "The top ten rules to succeed in life" on the next blog.

Fail To Accept

Previously, i expressed the feeling of waiting. Now, i am going to share you the moment since you acquire what you have been waited for long time, no longer what you actually expected. Gosh, it gonna be a little bit disappointed when i knew the reality of my current job application. Anyhow, i know i crap most of the time in the interview. I appreciate those interviewers who spent their time for me at the moment. Frankly, sometimes i wonder am i really suitable to work in IT field? This question has cracked my head and twisting my brain. Do i need to go on my current job or again i gotta throw myself in the field of my major? Perhaps, i should let the god to decide my destiny. "hey cyrus, you gonna be more optimistic and do not give up easily!!" The sentence suddenly appear in my mind. No pain and no gain, whoever might have ups and downs. No matter how, just assume it's merely a learning curve for you to be mature and stronger than before. I promise myself as well as my future not to just fill up with blank. I am such a good motivator right?

I hate waiting and I am dying to wait......

Ahem, today i found myself totally lost/maze/disappointed. Why? As what the topic about...Although i admit that our life can't continue without waiting...it's like coffee won't be tasty without sugar. Maybe it's just my own perspective, perhaps someone like coffee without sugar especially for those who're on diet. It's a bad example either though. Anyhow, i'm really down this week because of some companies haven't called me for my job application. I totally agree people saying that don't be picky on job during economy recession since company might be more choosy than you most of the time. As the time being, everyone is difficult to survive either employer or employee. I can understand why they wanna to be that strict and criticizing on those interviewees. If i am one of them, i might be 2/3 times critical than anyone of them. Lol.....

Still i hope my hope might come true and i might hope for those who're looking a job these days, can really find your dream job.....

The movie: Alien VS Monster

Thanks god, finally there's a theater nearby my house. Today, after work, my plan for tonight was crystal clear: watching a movie. Next, i should choose which movie is the best for tonight. I didn't think too much for that instead of just let my nephew to select the movie he wants since he'll be my companion. Without hesitating, he chose his favorite type movie, an animation "Alien VS Monster". Gosh.. i was like totally speechless because it has been long time I've not watched any animation in the theater. The latest one was "Alvin and chipmunks" and it's not really worth.

Anyway, we still sticked on the plan and we entered the theater on sharp 8pm. As what i expected, this movie really aims to kid's market, the whole cinema was fully occupied by kids below 12 years old. So, you know, the situation there was really a chaos.. noise's everywhere. "kid crying". "parent scolding"..bla bla bla...Fortunately, the movie storyline was still okay and i admit that the director did a great job for those funny dialogs in the movie. For me, I'll rank 7 out of 10 stars for this movie.

Finally i done my second blog and i hope u can left me some comments here. Bye

What Lead Me Here

Since last year i heard about blogger. I am damn outdated perhaps. But, i didn't really confident to grab an account here cause i do think that i am not that kind of person who's able to spell out all the feelings by just using few lines of words. Another reason was probably because of my built in characteristics, i am not that generous to share all my feelings in public especially in the internet. Plus, I don't really prefer other to know everything from me by just clicking their mouse button. Anyway, finally i got one brand new blog for myself...Frankly i feel a bit excited when i was undergoing those steps before i get here. Still, in the future, i would like to go deeper but not just let this become my first and last blog in my life. We'll see.

Let's go back to our main menu, hmm...what drove me here? Few answers appear in my mind. Either one might strong enough for me to answer this question. Mostly i think is because i am a great learner. Fresh things might always attract me as the saying goes, curiosity kills a cat, i am always willing to be the cat and i prefer to be killed instead of let my curiosity to hang me up on the ceiling. Did i answer the question above? No? Okay..Here we go, another silly reason..

I wanna be a trend chaser indeed!!! lol!!! Today, every single undergraduate has his/her own blog. A couple of my friends, they kept mocking me by saying "you're such a rube, cyrus!" Though i don't really care about it but it still hurts me sometimes. That's why i am here to prove that i can be a part of trend today!!!hahaha....(self-satisfaction)

All in all, i'll try best to add in some of my personal experiences and feelings that i might face everyday here. Picture might be the second item that i will definitely share here in the future. I think it should be all for tonight. Bye.
