thursday, 4th feb

today i wanna spend my time to read 'java persistence with hibernate' as my preparation to face final exam saturday. Every single questions in my head must be ansewered today, i hope.
yosh, keep your spirit!

motivation..

how do you get motivation??
at first i just looked around in EF kaskus, and i found interesting thread that discuss about how to stop procrastinating.. Hmm, while i read the title, yes, that's also my question :P
Over there, i found some interesting sentences (maybe paragraph).. and below is one of them,

Well procrastination primarily stems from two main condition. First is that you don't find the task as something hard thus you put it off until the very last minute. This is a common trend among people that are above average but perform poorly. They know they're good and they know that they can get by/pass a class with minimal work.

Second is the opposite case, these are people that think the task is too hard to do and/or will be too time consuming thus they will convince discouraged themselves from working on it. They will put it off by "reasoning" that there's not enough time right now or it doesn't matter if they spend 5 hours or 10 hours the results will be the same anyway, etc etc. It could also stem from fear of failure, where they don't want to try their best because they are afraid that if they do their best and they failed then that is the extend of their ability.

Overall the solution varies from person to person. Most people suffers from the first condition where they are capable to do it but choose to put it off and do something else or get distracted by something.

A general yet simple solution would be to enforce discipline and organization. First you organize a schedule on when is a time to do homework, project, study for test, etc. Second, stick to it. If 3-5 is time you set aside to work then you must do it until all of them are done, no if's and's or but's about it. Third, make your study/work area conducive. Put away and turn off your cellphones, mp3 player, and other electronic devices so that you will not be tempted to use them. Make sure it is a nice and comfortable place with sufficient lighting so that you don't feel sleepy halfway through.

Sadly, there's no silver bullet to this problem. The solution is inside the individual, you just have to dig deep. Such is life, sometimes it takes one or two "failure" to turn a person around and sometimes they never change ... ...

and i totally aggree with this part,

Sadly, there's no silver bullet to this problem. The solution is inside the individual, you just have to dig deep. Such is life, sometimes it takes one or two "failure" to turn a person around and sometimes they never change ... ...

yup, the main problem is ourself, right.. so you have to keep trying hard to change yourself into the right path..

this morning..

huaa.. after studying the damn stuff for final exam, i played game, PES6 till subuh :(
so much i spend the time.. yaah, it just fulfilled my longing fave hehe.. it is about time to enjoy my cappuchino and bis**at cake :D .. they are my first activity this morning.. keep up the good work guys..

do you have skill??

of course i do. But those skills are so poor. i ve been improving them. Either softkill or hardskill. I need to learn much. These following are my target skill:
1. english
2. java, hibernate, spring (it is coumputer stuff)
3. networking (client server, peer to peer, protocol, etc)
4. enterpreneur's mind

Yup, you can say all those are hardskill. First, english. I think, mmm maybe i am totally sure that many source knowledges written by english. and if you wanna fly high (hold the world), you have to master it. Second, those stuffs. I dont have any doubt that i have to know and master them. Yeah, it is because i am computer science, and i will be grappled to that world. Next,networking. I think it is the basic knowledge that we as computer science's student have to know. Many applications include networking in the its working principle. Finally, enterpreneur's mind. I have a dream that someday, i will build company by my own hands. For that purpose, enterpreneur's mind has to be in my mind..

The big step..

If you have already choose that you wanna be more mature, then it is about time YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR COMFORT ZONE. It doesn't mean you may not come into that area at all, but you must be able to see the time when you wanna come into it. There is a scala priority. That's the point. Everybody knows that life must be balance, work and relax. And the difference between children and adult is how long his time be spent. Adult people spend much their time in work zone (it should be like that, in fact there are some of them not be like that), while children spend much their time in relax zone. So, when you make a decision to be more mature, you have to prepare yourself to suffer in the transition phase (work, work, work). Trust me, you have a right to success in the end. Everybody has the same right. But again, it depends on you boy..

Ganbatte kudasai..

Maturity..

Maturity needs a process. Yup, i know that. Many factors can influence someone's maturity. The biggest factor that maybe can influence it, i think is environment. No doubt that the environment where anyone grows up can change his mind. You can pay an attention someone's mind and just try to see his environment background. and you will see how their environment's treatment. You maybe see the maturity by how he speaks, how he communicates his idea, how he evaluates his surrounding, always talk about the future, how his attitude, etc. Yeah, those criterias are some of indicators how mature he is. Are there the indicators in myself??
i am still improving myself, including that one, maturity. Maybe i can make a first step by leaving useless thing (at least, minimalize it). What exactly is my useless thing?? Hmm, It is not an appropriate place to share bad thing. So, i just wanna promise in myself to change my attitude, my mind, etc little by little. And i know to get the maturity is hard thing, need strong 'istiqomah'..

I have made a decision

A little bit more i will go into job world. I was supposed to be there one year ago. Nevermind, i live for today, yesterday was past time, so i have to view the future (hehe i dont mean to make an excuse :P)
But.. before i go into there, it seems i am interested in developing my skill first. ENGLISH. Yup, i will master that stuff first. In my mind, if i go straight to work after graduating, i will not get much time to learn english (maybe just saturday and sunday). Many reasons i insist myself to master it. To get better english i have to choose a better place. KEDIRI. Yeah, i will go there after graduating for 3 months.
If there is no any obstacle, march i will be there.
So, i will really hunt a job in june. That's the plan. Wish me luck. Bismillah..
