Belajar untuk membagi waktu dan memaklumi ketidaksempurnaan

Akhir-akhir ini sedang belajar bagaimana mulai menimbang-nimbang kerjaan dengan power yang ada.

Ternyata mulai kerasa kalo semua pengen ditanganin sendiri gempor juga.

Ibuku tersayang yang begitu mengenal anaknya ini lalu memberikan nasihatnya:
pengen semuanya perfek, bagus sih,
tapi sudah menikah harus mulai bisa membagi-bagi tenaga,
sebagian untuk keluarga, sebagian untuk suami, sebagian untuk diri sendiri.
Nanti kalau udah punya anak juga harus dibagi lagi waktu untuk anak.

Saya pun bertanya, gmn mbaginya?
Ya, ngga persis sepertiga sepertiga, nanti akan ketahuan kok porsinya.

Akhir-akhir ini saya mulai mempraktekkan nasihat ibu saya tersebut.

Mengerjakan apa yang saya bisa dengan tenaga dan waktu saya, mulai mencoba minta bantuan orang lain untuk meringankan kerjaan, mencoba memprioritaskan kerjaan.

Ternyata membiarkan orang lain membantu kita itu cukup menyenangkan :D
Ternyata suatu kerjaan yang kayanya beraaat banget, tidak berat-berat amat kalau dikerjakan tidak sendiri.

Tapi saya juga belajar, tidak lalu semua selesai sesuai standar saya.
Mau diturutin kemauan saya mengerjakan semua sendiri dengan cara saya dan standar saya juga bisa, tapi akhirnya molor-molor banyak yang tertunda, saya gempor, kecapekan, jadi ngga hepi ending juga kan ya..

Akhirnya ya harus belajar prioritas....kompromi...

Don't sweat the small stuff,
ga perfect dikit gpp lah, di kerjaan, di rumah,
lantai ngga licin berkilau tiap hari gpp lah,
makan telor ceplok aja sekali-sekali walo berasa kaya anak kos kembali juga gpp deh, daripada gempor akhirnya ga ada yg selesai?

Hidup ini ternyata benar-benar membutuhkan kompromi ya...
dan saya ternyata baru belajar kompromi sekarang, kemana aja saya selama ini? :D

rules: inconvenience and leniency

I read the news about David Tobing suing the government and PSSI (and NIKE?) for our country's Garuda emblem abuse.

The intention of the action could be good,
after all I don't really want to have our beloved Garuda become just a mere picture that could be randomly located on just any fashion whims. Geri Haliwell's union jack dress might be deemed iconic, but I don't think I want Garuda to be immortalized that way.

But then again, in this particular case the particular Garuda emblem was worn with pride for Indonesian team to go in an international event. And I can't help noticing how that has spurred our sense of nationalism during that event(even though of course this is just what I viewed from afar, based on my mom's report and things I read :D).

Indeed in almost every cases there are always 2 sides of a coin.
Humane rules always have some unnecessary inconvenience.

I live in a rather secluded area, but we need to cross a quite busy street to reach it. So there's a traffic light that would stop the traffic on request if anyone presses the button to cross the street. And every now and then we'd witness a long queue of car waiting for 1 person to cross the street.

This traffic light for pedestrian in an empty street,it is inconveniencing at maybe most of the time. I myself usually always pondered if I could just get away crossing the street without requesting the traffic light. (J caught me doing it once though :D
And so from that point on pressing the button is a must :P) And why can't the cars just pass through once the person who requested it has safely crossed the street, without waiting for the light to turn green. However, allowing this kind of leniency would nurture bad behavior that might at some point endangering the safety.

We, Indonesians, are rather lenient when it comes to rules. But then again, without being too strict there needs to be a certain fine line taken where we should be lenient and where we should be strictly sticking to the rule.

I wonder where's this fine line lies on this Garuda emblem case.

One thing for sure I do want one of those "Garuda di dadaku" shirt to wear and flaunt :P

I love you Indonesia,
Garuda will always be in my heart,
figuratively,
and hopefully literally once i get my hand on one of those shirts :D
