When a Yogi Falls Sick…
…Everyone would think one of these: 1. “Look at him. In spite of being thin, he would never listen to me. Eat a lot, for God’s sake! What is going through his mind? Does starving himself really pay?

Sangat asyik berdebat tentang hal itu tetapi terlalu banyak faktor X yang bermain dalam menentukan usia seseorang dan satu pembahasan singkat tidak bisa mengkomodasi itu semua. Yang hanya kita temukan hanyalah debat kusir tanpa ujung. Tetapi yang satu ini benar adanya. Jika Anda seorang penggemar… Continue reading

How to Succeed When You Have No Past Hardships
I notice that extremely successful people had painful past and hardships during their younger times. My big boss, for example, lost his father before reaching his 12th birthday.

And Wake Me Up When January Ends
It’s been a tumultuous month for me, personally and professionally speaking. The wrath, the disappointment, the confusion, the haste, the expectation, the hoplessness, the tiredness, the ambition, all these are ‘inharmonious’ in some way but that’s the way it is.

Clinging to the Thinnest Strand
Just an ill-fated afternoon in 1994. I woke up only to find that I completely had no idea where I was. I was lying in bed, with my right leg banded all over. “What’s going on?” I wished I could’ve blurted a word out of my mouth. But I held my tongue, casting my sight… Continue reading
