Passion
Tadi Ngurah cerita tentang rekan yg pernah dia lihat di hotel. Katakan saja si A.
Ngurah lihat Si A saat masih DW (daily worker) di kitchen area, tugas malam. Lihat ekspresi dia, tingkah lakunya, terlihat kalau Si A lamban, malas, seperti tanpa gairah hidup. Itu sudah 2 tahun lalu.
Beberapa hari lalu Ngurah ketemu lagi dengan Si A, yg rupanya sudah bekerja di tempat lain. Terlihat bagaimana cepatnya dia bekerja, semangat dia menyelesaikan pekerjaannya, sempat membuat Ngurah terheran-heran. Kalau dibandingkan dengan dua tahun lalu, tak terbayangkan bagaimana Si A bakal bisa bergerak secepat itu.
Well, mungkin kita juga pernah berada di posisi Si A. Menyelesaikan pekerjaan hanya karena kita perlu pekerjaan itu. Karena kita perlu untuk makan. Padahal kita sama sekali tidak enjoy melakukannya. Tapi begitu kita menemukan suatu hal yg sangat kita suka, kita bisa mengerjakan nya dengan penuh sukacita. Kita bisa menyelesaikannya dengan tidak menghitung waktu, tidak memandang pengorbanan kita.
Saat ini saya merasa ada di posisi Si A. Saya kerja karena saya perlu uang untuk rumah, pendidikan anak-anak, untuk makan.
Saya sama sekali tidak enjoy mengerjakan pekerjaan saya saat ini. Saya bertahan hanya karena hanya ini yg bisa saya kerjakan. Saya tak punya keahlian apa-apa. Sudah syukur ada yg mau mempekerjakan saya... :-P
Tapi saat saya mengerjakan bisnis online saya, wah bergadang sampai pagi pun saya jalani. Bicara sampai berbusa-busa pun saya bisa. Menghabiskan dana berapa pun saya usahakan. Hehehehe...
Ya, saya menemukan kehidupan saya disini. Really love my biz...
The Green Thing
In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that she should bring her own grocery bag because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.
The woman apologized to him and explained,
"We didn't have the green thing back in my day." The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. The former generation did not care enough to save our environment." He was right, that generation didn't have the green thing in its day.
Back then, they returned their milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But they didn't have the green thing back in that customer's day.
In her day, they walked up stairs, because they didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. They walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time they had to go two blocks. But she was right. They didn't have the green thing in her day.
Back then, they washed the baby's diapers because they didn't have the throw-away kind. They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts - wind and solar power really did dry the clothes.Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.But that old lady is right, they didn't have the green thing back in her day.
Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house - not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief, not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, they blended and stirred by hand because they didn't have electric machines to do everything for you.When they packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, they used a wadded up old newspaper to cushion it, not styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.
Back then, they didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power. They exercised by working so they didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right, they didn't have the green thing back then. They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water. They refilled their writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and they replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But they didn't have the green thing back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. They had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And they didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful the old folks were just because they didn't have the green thing back then?

Mana saja ya, yg belum ada di to do list saya.
Mana saja ya, yg bisa saya remind ke downline - upline.
Masih banyak pe-er yg harus saya selesaikan untuk bisa jadi seorang Diamond. Kalau mau kaya, walau hanya depan komputer, tetap harus diniati. Tetap harus kerja keras. Tetap harus pinter dulu.
Biar kata di dbcn, kita sudah diperlengkapi segala perlengkapan perang, tapi kalau tak digunakan, ya sama juga bo'ong.

The Four Cats
Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were. The first man was an Engineer, The second man was an Accountant, The third man was a Chemist, and The fourth man was a Government Employee. To show off, the Engineer called his cat, "T-square, do your stuff." T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart. But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Spreadsheet, do your stuff." Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies. Everyone agreed that was good. But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Measure, do your stuff." Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured Exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass. Everyone agreed that was pretty good. Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, "What can your cat do?" The Government Employee called his cat and said, "CoffeeBreak, do your stuff." CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet....... Ate the cookies......... Drank the milk..... Sh*t on the paper....... Screwed the other three cats........ Claimed he injured his back while doing so. Filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions....... Put in for Workers Compensation................. Went home for the rest of the day on sick leave............ AND THAT, MY FRIEND IS WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT! |
