Few days ago, my friend gave me a book and I have started to read it. In the first chapter, it mentioned about Yin and Yang. Its about life law. Yin& Yang symbolized with 2 fish. One black fish with white eye. And another white fish with black eye. This is like what is going on in real life. There is no eternal sadness, there is no eternal happines. The real is when there is the sadness there will be happiness in other side. And vice versa. And it will continiously to happen. Sometimes things happened and it seems that we “win” over the other stuff. But it could be we “lose”. At our lowest point, we find the way to reach the greatness.

Many people thought the decission of the change is because of “Baper” (take things personally). If I rethink over and over again, the reason of the change ia because of the need to have the content. The need to learn. The need to have excitement. The need to fight like we are a hunter, a warrior. The decission is more on rationale reason rather than an emotional one. Because I have passed through many this kind of condition, and I still worked anyway. This situation is just become an excuse for me to exit. Exit to the new adventure.

I couldnt hold my tears when we gathered together in the room we usually use for meeting and training. When I arrived, all friends already waited. The last moment in the company really make me sad. Somehow I am very excited with the new adventure.

Perhaps some people thought I will be in the tough way. Indeed it is. But thats how we grow. Some people think they are winning but perhaps I am.

Since I made a radical decissio to quit from my current job, I noticed that many people in IT industry are so concern and care about me. In this one month, I met up many people including senior players in industry, media, overclocker, dealers, fans, etc. I didnt notice that my almost 12 years hard work has created a “fan base”. I think I am IT industrial sweetheart. I recieved many appreciation notes, blessing, advise, care and hugs from those people. I really feel very grateful. I will not realize this without my radical decission about the change. Thank you for all the support.

Today I just met up with a very famout business woman in IT, who has ran the business for 25 years. SHe shared how she started the business, how she thrived, how she survived. She also encourage young generation to have the dream and work hard to achieve it. She is willing to put investment even as passive investor to the talent that are willing to achieve their dream. It’s a very inspiring story to me. I have known her since I was as student in University. I am a fan. She really gave me an encouragement. She told me dont to be aftaid and dont have fear. Thank you for the very good advise! 🙂

Today I met up an inspiring man. He is still young, at 30, but he has already on right track on his dream. He like making video and he really dies his passion for living. We talk about Disney Indonesia. And he is interested. When there is a will, (strong one!!!) there is a way 🙂 we have to keep the faith. Believe in dreams come true. We keep the faith and continiously working hard to achieve it !!!Gambate!!!

Many people were asking and questioning about the decission I have made. Why I would like to take the job with smaller role than what I have now in current company. Some people thought I have been beaten. That I am not strong. The truth is vice versa. I am very strong. I against the norm.    I dare to come out from comfort zone. I want to feel the unconfortable so that I always alert and live the life in full attention. I want to put myself into condition of the pressure so that I can become more creative and find my own path to achieve what I have dream of. And I think I am in right way.

Recently, I made a radical change and decission in my life. I quitted from my 11.5 years job. I have been in a very good position, as top important person in the company. Many people couldnt understand about the decisions. People thought I am downgrade to lower “job title”. But this might not be the truth. From other perspective, I am going to join a big company in the world. Leadership is not from the title anyway. And I believe in my own wings. So We dont need to afraid how we get into a company. The most important thing is how we thrive become a somebody in a big company. And I am very excited about it.

13 years ago, I was attending a class that I chose by myself; Change Management. At the first page of the book, it mentioned that Change is Constant. There is several steps how to make the change in an organization and what kind of type of persons there will be during the process. It seems very easy to understand the book and to pass the exam. But it is not that easy to pass through in real life.

But, Destiny is in our hand. We are the one who make decision about our own life. We are the one who decide how we want to response to the change. We can resist it, accept it, we change as well, etc.

For my condition, I can say, I utilize the moment of the change in our organization, to come out from my comfort zone. Many people do not understand for the decision I have made. I have been in one company with very stable growth, with glorious achievement during my 11.5 years tenure. I use the excuse of the management change in the company, to go out, and  to see the world.

One side, people thought I was beaten, lose in the internal politics battle. Another side, and not many people can see it, I am in victory of my own battle. I finally came out from the comfort zone, and going to experience new adventure in my life. And as we said, Adventure, there is definitely a feeling of insecure and in the same time also excitement. But that’s how I would like my mindset growth. I would like to face challenges so that I continue to grow.  And I am in right path.
