Pilih Mana ,Ikan Besar di Kolam Kecil atau Ikan Kecil di Kolam Besar ?

23 04 2009

Dulu waktu jaman-jamannya ” siaran radio masih booming” , my favorite program adalah business for today di pass FM. Businees for today adalah suatu program kecil dengan durasi 5 – 7 menit , yang isinya memberikan advice atau motivasi – motivasi dari para motivator terkenal , yang ditujukan kepada kalangan businessman dengan topik yang bervariasi setiap harinya. Salah satu quote yang tidak terlupakan dalam salah satu topik program tersebut adalah ” apakah kita ingin menjadi ikan besar di kolam kecil atau ikan kecil di kolam besar ?”

Apa maksud dari perkataan tersebut ? Kadang seorang yang bekerja di suatu perusahaan / bisnis  tertentu  , seiring bertambahnya waktu , ia akan menjadi besar di tempat tersebut , sehingga jika ada kesempatan akan tawaran bisnis / perusahaan yang lebih besar , orang ini akan menjadi agak bingung , karena semakin besar bisnis / perusahaan tersebut akan semakin besar pula faktor resiko dan tekanannya , ditambah lagi ketika dia masuk ke  dalam perusahaan / bisnis baru tersebut maka ia akan mulai lagi dari awal , ia akan menjadi  ikan kecil di kolam besar . Maksud terselubung dari kalimat ini bisa juga diartikan , bahwa kadang-kadang orang suka terperangkap dalam zona amannya , sehingga ketika ada peluang yang lebih besar ia mengabaikannya. Seseorang cenderung akan merasa lebih aman dan nyaman menjadi ikan besar di kolam kecil daripada menjadi ikan kecil di kolam besar . Namun fakta yang paling sering terlupakan adalah sang ikan besarpun awalnya merupakan ikan kecil juga. Hal ini berarti besar kecil kolam sangat subyektif dalam pandangan kita , kenapa demikian? karena besar kecil kolam sangat berbanding lurus dengan besar – kecil sang ikan. Semakin besar sang ikan maka kolam besarpun akan semakin kecil .

Lalu kenapa saya berbicara panjang lebar mengenai hal ini ? Mungkin saat ini saya sedang dihadapkan dilema yang sama , saya sedang bertanya-tanya pada diri sendiri , apakah saya cukup puas menjadi ikan besar di kolam kecil , ataukah saya bersedia melakukan perubahan dan kembali menjadi ikan kecil di kolam yang lebih besar.

Hmmm… hmmm… setelah melihat tempat kerja saya  berkali-kali , posisi saya dan rekan -rekan saya , saya sadar bahwa saya masihlah ikan kecil di kolamnya semula :D   Jadi sebelum saya memutuskan pindah ke kolam yang lebih besar , ada baiknya saya sementara ini membesarkan diri dulu dengan bekerja dan belajar dengan lebih  giat, amin. ( kecuali kalo memang ada tawaran yang lebih menggiurkan ha ha ha ha –> mode serakah on  ) .

Mmmm.. kalau dilihat – lihat sepertinya internet membuat pertumbuhan sang ikan menjadi terhambat ha ha ha ha ha. Itu berarti saya musti berhenti blogging , chatting , you tube -ing , game-ing ,dll di tempat kerja , yup..harus dimulai dari sekarang–> mode serius on . Hmmm mungkin besok :D :D –> mode serius di offkan kembali.

Oh ya , artikel ini juga sama sekali tidak melarang metode perpindahan ikan kecil kolam kecil ke kolam yang lebih besar , soalnya ada beberapa orang yang berpendapat daripada jadi ikan kecil di kolam kecil mending jadi ikan kecil di kolam besar , lha wong sama-sama kecilnya (–>  ikannya )  “^_^

Ngomong – ngomong soal ikan , kog saya jadi lapar yah , mungkin ada baiknya kalau besok menulis artikel tentang makanan dari ikan .. nyam .. nyam.

The Story of Snow White Lesson 1

8 04 2009

LESSON 1 Tough Real World

Once upon a time , there was a ‘not so innocent’ , ’strange behavior’, ‘ weird ‘ little girl called snow white. This snow white doesn’t have any resemblance with the ’snow white’ in the fairy tale world. She’s not nice and a little bit selfish, well … she’s a snow white from a real world.

And what about the wicked queen ? Of course there are ( i told you this is a real world.. means everybody in here,  most of the time is wicked :D ) .

Anyway, One day , she over heard ‘her neighbor conversation on the phone’ .

Snow White’s neighbor  : Emm ..yesterday my ex call me

Snow White                         : ( no response)

( well… no response is the most likely ‘attitude’ if you over heard someone’s conversation )

Snow White’s neighbor  : He said that he want us to start over again

Snow White                         : ( still  no response )

Snow White’s neighbor  : He said that her girl friend has breast cancer , and he want to end his relationship  with her .

Snow White                         : ( still  no response but in her mind could not helped to curse the man )

Snow White’s neighbor  : I told him  not to do that , i mean his girl friend need a support from him  not the other way around.

Snow White                         : ( still  no response but in her mind in ironic kinda way start to stop cursing the man. She knows that not everybody could deal with this illness , this is a real world . In real world  many mothers leave  their sick child . In real world –>   not everybody will held your hand when you were suffering . Is the real world suck or what ?? Well maybe that man just not the one for  ‘that poor girl ‘?? ).

Well , after that, snow white start to goggling a little about breast cancer , and she found out that breast cancer more likely to recur  in the young ( based on here ) women with breast cancer who are 35 years old or younger are more likely than older women to have their cancer come back after treatment.

She learns from wikipedia that Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the cells of the breast in women and men. Worldwide, breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer after lung cancer (10.4% of all cancer incidence, both sexes counted) and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. In 2004, breast cancer caused 519,000 deaths worldwide (7% of cancer deaths; almost 1% of all deaths). Breast cancer is about 100 times as frequent among women as among men, but survival rates are equal in both sexes.

Sign and symptoms : The first symptom ,  or subjective sign, of breast cancer is typically a lump that feels different from the surrounding breast tissue.

Prevention : i guess with understanding of the symptom and why it’s happens ,  will lead us to the right ‘healing’ method. We could read a valuable information in here.

And you can find world’s cancer organization in below address

* NATIONAL BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION * BREAST CANCER ORG * YAYASAN KANKER INDONESIA

They said cancer could be cure if we found it in the early stadium .

” The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe “

1 04 2009

First published in 1845 , The Raven brings the darkest sorrow in a delusional conflict .


Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.’

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; – vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow – sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me – filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
`’Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -
This it is, and nothing more,’

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
`Sir,’ said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you’ – here I opened wide the door; -
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!’
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!’
Merely this and nothing more.

Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
`Surely,’ said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -
‘Tis the wind and nothing more!’

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
`Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,’ I said, `art sure no craven.
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!’
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.’

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning – little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door -
Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as `Nevermore.’

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered – not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.’
Then the bird said, `Nevermore.’

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
`Doubtless,’ said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -
Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore
Of “Never-nevermore.”‘

But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking `Nevermore.’

This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion’s velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o’er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o’er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
`Wretch,’ I cried, `thy God hath lent thee – by these angels he has sent thee
Respite – respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!’
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.’

`Prophet!’ said I, `thing of evil! – prophet still, if bird or devil! -
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -
On this home by horror haunted – tell me truly, I implore -
Is there – is there balm in Gilead? – tell me – tell me, I implore!’
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.’

`Prophet!’ said I, `thing of evil! – prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us – by that God we both adore -
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?’
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.’

`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!’ I shrieked upstarting -
`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! – quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!’
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.’

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted – nevermore!

Untraceable ( 2008 )

1 04 2009

First of all ( I haven’t watch the whole movie yet ) , I will  , as soon as I get back from my office today :D

I got the  review from here

(contains spoiler )

Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane) is a widowed single parent living in a suburban Portland home with her daughter Annie Haskins (Perla Haney-Jardine). By night, she works in the FBI’s cybercrime division with Griffin Dowd (Colin Hanks), fighting identity theft and similar crimes. One night, an anonymous tip leads them to a website called killwithme.com. The site features a streaming video of a kitten being tortured and killed.

After the kitten’s death, killwithme’s webmaster (Joseph Cross) ‘graduates’ to human victims and makes their deaths correlate directly with the number of hits the site receives. At a press conference, the public is urged to avoid killwithme but, as Marsh feared, this only increases the site’s popularity. The videos are recorded in the killer’s basement and his various victims include a helicopter pilot (who is bled to death by injections of anticoagulant), a newscaster (burnt by heat lamps) and Dowd (killed by slowly increasing the concentration of sulfuric acid solution in which he is submerged).

At first it seems the victims were randomly chosen, but this is not the case. The first two victims were chosen because they were part of filming or presenting the suicide of a junior college teacher. The teacher’s unstable, techno-prodigy son, Owen Reilly, broke down and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. When released, he decided to prove a point (that the public is insatiable for the suffering of others), as well as wreak vengeance on those he felt had exploited his father’s tragedy. Dowd was killed because he came close to the truth of who the murderer was. Marsh, who figures this out, is soon targeted as well.

Captured by Reilly, Marsh escapes her death-by-mulcher by swinging out of the way while dangling from the ceiling. She ends up breaking free and gunning down the murderer just as the other police show up, Marsh kills Reilly on his own website. As the film ends, the website receives numerous requests for a video of Reilly’s death.

I will add my own comment  tomorrow  ;p

By the way , I’ve got interesting article from here

The article stated that this movie is an OPEN advertisement of Microsoft Corporation to promote their software .

( i quote the whole article in here without adding anything on it )

Title : Microsoft’s war against Linux has gone too far…….  (by cl4wh4mm3r)

hey you guys out there.does saw the movie called “UNTRACEBLE” ??
if not see it now.
because besides being a good movie this movie is a OPEN advertisement of Microsoft Corporation to promote their softwares.
can you beleive it??
FBI cyber security devition is NOW switched to Windows Vista (most probably an FBI edition).
remember the last time when we saw the fbi cyber security devision’s computers in DIE HARD 4.the computers are running their properitory os & software.but in this movie it is vista.
The agens are using vista in their homes.
OOOH their is a small glimpse of XP too.
and last but not least the microsoft even let us believe that BAD GUY USES LINUX.probably it is the result of their WAR against linux.
i have all the proofs attaches from the screenshots of the movie itself.

1

vista at fbi office

3

vista in the fbi office 2

4

windows in the officer’s mobile too !!

5

vista in officer’s laptop !!

6

Xp in officer’s home computer !!

7

vista again ….

8

“REMEMBER only Bad guys use vista” – Microsoft.

9

See the heading of title bar there it is the file system of GNU linux..

2

“REMEMBER if you use Linux you will get caught” – Microsoft

ist it really funny to see that how microsoft is keen to prove their software…..but you cannot grew taller by benting someones head.

as in reality it is prooved by the movie it self that windows CAN BE HACKED but LINUX IS UNTREACABLE………………….

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

My comment :” I’m not really a fan of  Linux or Microsoft , to me all the tool ( software ) have it’s own advantages or disadvantages . But lets face it , without competition  there will be no  improvement . More competition , more fast the improvement , means a better software quality for the end user .”

update : already watch the movie , it doesn’t leave much impression for me , maybe because I’ve watch this kinda movie once too many . There just not enough action or thriller or suspension to me , the story is not warm or cold , not romantic , dramatic or horror enough. In the end it’s just ‘plain’ but not in a good way.







Moving Out

30 03 2009

On Saturday evening , I’ve packed my things and ready to go. It’s the day when I’m moving to the new place. Everything is ready , but no one is there to help me , strangely all my friends today are ‘occupied’ with something . I’m alone and the day started to rain. It’s rained the whole day. I reach my phone and dial to a friend number , i thought …at least i could talk to someone on the phone and pretend that a friend is here with me, she didn’t pick up the phone , she’s busy. Feeling lonely and neglected by everybody , i started to cry. I cancel the whole moving out plan for that day.
On Sunday morning i try again , still no friend there for me , but it’s okay now . somehow i realize all i need to surpass this moving out phase is my determination , my will … myself .

Later on …., of course with the help of God, everything turn out to be fine :) .

Either it broken heart , separation  or just a moving out phase…sometimes we like to forget , in order to surpass things that painful , uncertain or uneasy   , all we need is to convince ourselves that we can. And everything will turn out to be fine.

And if  it doesn’t work for you , maybe you need to take a break for a day and start to re plan the whole thing again. :D

Worried

27 03 2009

I’m thinking to move from my old place to ’someplace’ closer to my office. But because i get attached so much with the old one , so it’s kinda hard from me to move. My friends said that I only need to give myself time to get accustomed with the new place , and that everything will be alright as soon as I made up my mind to it.

Every changes worried my a little , ” made up my mind “  this sentences , somehow  looks a bit  heavy for me .
