Every people have their own way to learn the subject and it was debatable of which method consider as the best way to learn something quickly as our human brain was unique, we have many different responses to the new stuff and what we memorized in our brain is depending on how we work on it.

It was wonderful to understand and know our way to learn because this can make our learning process quick and the memory is retainable in our brain for long. Many of us listen to the wrong opinion about learning though there is no perfect way that guaranteed the best result, for example, some can learn stuff with noises while other need a complete silent to learn.

There were many spectrums to see the dimension of learning. Some can feel personally challenged once given a limited time or deadline while other got stuck in no idea in that situation. Listening to the seminaries may work but some of us felt sleepy to listens to knowledgeable thought for an extensive period of time.

A scientist found one basic principle of human learning that still being used to exploring what consider the best way to learn for every individual and until today the method still effective used by researcher and practitioner. The way of human learning was separated into three different categories which are auditorial, visual, and kinesthetic.

I cite in this website since this explain better and have in-depth analysis.

Auditory

Auditory learners often talk to themselves. They also may move their lips and read out loud. They may have difficulty with reading and writing tasks. They often do better talking to a colleague or a tape recorder and hearing what was said. To integrate this style into the learning environment:

  1. Begin new material with a brief explanation of what is coming. Conclude with a summary of what has been covered. This is the old adage of “tell them what they are going to learn, teach them, and tell them what they have learned.”
  2. Use the Socratic method of lecturing by questioning learners to draw as much information from them as possible and then fill in the gaps with you own expertise.
  3. Include auditory activities, such as brainstorming, buzz groups, or Jeopardy. Leave plenty of time to debrief activities. This allows them to make connections of what they learned and how it applies to their situation.
  4. Have the learners verbalize the questions.
  5. Develop an internal dialogue between yourself and the learners.

Visual

Visual learners have two sub-channels—linguistic and spatial. Learners who are visual-linguistic like to learn through written language, such as reading and writing tasks. They remember what has been written down, even if they do not read it more than once. They like to write down directions and pay better attention to lectures if they watch them. Learners who are visual-spatial usually have difficulty with the written language and do better with charts, demonstrations, videos, and other visual materials. They easily visualize faces and places by using their imagination and seldom get lost in new surroundings. To integrate this style into the learning environment:

  1. Use graphs, charts, illustrations, or other visual aids.
  2. Include outlines, concept maps, agendas, handouts, etc. for reading and taking notes.
  3. Include plenty of content in handouts to reread after the learning session.
  4. Leave white space in handouts for note-taking.
  5. Invite questions to help them stay alert in auditory environments.
  6. Post flip charts to show what will come and what has been presented.
  7. Emphasize key points to cue when to takes notes.
  8. Eliminate potential distractions.
  9. Supplement textual information with illustrations whenever possible.
  10. Have them draw pictures in the margins.
  11. Have the learners envision the topic or have them act out the subject matter.

Kinesthetic

Kinesthetic learners do best while touching and moving. It also has two sub-channels: kinesthetic (movement) and tactile (touch). They tend to lose concentration if there is little or no external stimulation or movement. When listening to lectures they may want to take notes for the sake of moving their hands. When reading, they like to scan the material first and then focus in on the details (get the big picture first). They typically use color highlighters and take notes by drawing pictures, diagrams, or doodling. To integrate this style into the learning environment:

  1. Use activities that get the learners up and moving.
  2. Play music, when appropriate, during activities. (I like to listening while writing)
  3. Use colored markers to emphasize key points on flip charts or whiteboards.
  4. Give frequent stretch breaks (brain breaks).
  5. Provide toys such as Koosh balls and Play-Dough to give them something to do with their hands.
  6. To highlight a point, provide gum, candy, scents, etc. which provides a cross-link of scent (aroma) to the topic at hand (scent can be a powerful cue).
  7. Provide highlighters, colored pens and/or pencils.
  8. Guide learners through a visualization of complex tasks.
  9. Have them transfer information from the text to another medium such as a keyboard or a tablet.
You can take the test here to know your own learning style. I had taken the test in my high school and the result is remain, only a slight change. Before I got the highest mark in my Kinesthetic and Visual, as both share the highest result and iI admit myself that Auditorial is not my best part while right now once again I securely mark Kinesthetics as my learning style. Every time I learn something I need to write it on the note, just for the sake to keep myself working while listening and watching the lecturer giving the information though after I do a heavy amount of writing I just totally ignore to re-watched it.

I can say that the best to learn a thing is by doing it, and no wonder of why I am taking many failures in my life as I tend to try it first, not read it or think about it as I thought there was less use than doing it practically. If I could summed up what is my next plan to find my "true calling", I would simply say to try it all, all the stuff i ever think to learn but it is not possible in the past, while i should work with my time management and use it more wisely. I would rather spend time of trials and even I know that is not working, at least I try.

So, in order to searching my true potential which lead to my "true calling", as I highlighted above, I would imply all these strategies while learning this:

Physical Therapies in Yoga
Website Design
Basic Method in Design, I love art yet I have not found which type of Design works for me
Holistic Nutrition
Content Writing

Among listed above, I will track the progress by time so I could see which qualifies to my calling. I will spend time equally learning all starting from the website design this month, starting from April and I heard from other sites that learn how to make a website starts in HTML. I will do my best and later on I will write the progress here.

One hour left in this Cafe to write since I will have a yoga class at 6. I forget to cover what do I do in the Tuesday yet yesterday as what I promised in the previous post so to make it simple, I will describe it in one word, I am busy searching the article about writing career. Since three days ago, I enjoyed my time writing articles either in this blog or leaving a comment on social media. It seems that writing has taken my life and if this what my heart decide me to move, then I will go through it.

It comes in two reasons of why I decide this as one of the strong candidates to my further career. First, I recap what am I enjoy doing the specific activity for a long time, especially if I ignoring others plan just because I am in doing that activity and it comes to writing or any physical activities such as football. The second reason is I feel no pressure of doing it, whether I got paid or not does not matter much since this makes me feel better. I feel myself in content after I could put my effort in this activity as this activity stimulates my thinking and creativity.

I decide to spend a little time to do a research of what it takes to be a good writer, and do this career can be lucrative to pay my bill in the future?. The research shows that people take this job as a freelance, or a second job to increase their gain from the first job. Some who are dedicated make this as their main job fall into two different category. A starving artist whom later become a well-known author by given a slight chance of probability or those who follow the direction of job market demand to be a copywriter or content writer.

Those who work in the first category are true writer by heart, whose able to stand alone whether the public does not look upon them and keep writing since writing is their true calling, most people who dedicate themselves to write work on self-publication and able to withstand full day of writing, a typical fiction/ non-fiction writer.

Second category offer job progression faster since company website needs a professional writer to publish an informative yet attractive article to attract the viewer. In the world of digital technology, a conventional newspaper has almost been abandoned by people and what I heard from one article state that the people access news from their smartphone, and the number of declining demand of newspaper may possibly eliminate it from the existence of public.

In the last three days, I do a deeper comparison between creative writing, content writing and copywriting. All of them has their own unique characteristics and it own difficulties, different career paths and progression, the university program for the major. I like to start with the university programs, since this major fall in two category, literature, and media and communication.

Creative writing

Don't be fooled by its name. It does not relate to what you thinking of creative and I also got fooled too for the first time I hear that this major related with media, design, creativity based since it is not. This major focused greatly on how you articulate your ideas to writing, planning for a book-scale of a story, how to play with the emotions and psychological trick to amaze the reader. In a nutshell, this major is for those who dedicated their life to write.

Content writing

Content writing gained their popularity since the age of technology comes, by producing a good quality of information in a short article. There are infinite possibilities of topics depending on writer strength and preferences. Currently, food, travel, and specific product ranked highest on the job demand. The name of major just corrects with the field of study, to teach us how to write effectively in limited space (500 words) with informative quality that pamper the reader. Their main objection is to draw the attention of viewer into the reader, keeping them in the website by providing an informative article, and turning them from visitor into daily reader.

Copywriter

In a business perspective, if content writing is the quality of a product, then copywriter is the marketing of a product. Copywriter has a strategy using the selection of titles, bring the curiosity, and hide the true intention of marketized article. For those who unexperienced will see the article as normal however it full of marketing promotion, and an experienced copywriter can make it smooth. The purpose of a copywriter is to increase the traffic of a blog or website, by using word strategy or SEO techniques.

The combination of content writing and copywriting is the perfect synergy to attract the viewer and turning them to their subscriber.

There is one last category that I had not mentioned below since this require specific background of skill, which is a technical writer. Every major field who enjoy writing can be a technical writer, it just require less effort of how to simplify the specific verb used in scientific information to make the reader easy to understand. However, by given the total effort, technical writer require most effort among other since the writer need to exactly understand the field he wants to write on.

In career, most of the writer work as freelance but not all. Some of them consider writing as their side job especially for the content writer works to satisfy their crave to put their art into writing. The good point about this path is less pressure in life responsibility since you still have another source of income. The writing level for a content writer is moderately easy, since most of the writer whom took this path has has the knowledge to create a decent writing for example, a programmer mostly write about computer related article however the level may differ if the writer should write the article which considerably uncommon.

The job prospective is good but in career path, somehow the position can be replaceable since what writers need to have is the skill to articulate his thought into writing and his strength in specific field so often a company just picking one of their coworker to write article although the content may be not as good as a professional content writer.

Copywriter gain its fame and the demand of qualified copywriter is big, at least in one company should have one guy who is able to operate company website, company social media and company marketing content. As what i say, copywriter is the frontdesk fighter in getting new visitor in the internet. The optimization of search engine may rise the company website to first page, make it visible and easily discovered by searcher. The skill required to be a copywriter is not just the ability to write, but also how to create interesting title and content, having a good sense of keyword, fair enough to understand how website and search engine works. I consider my further career to be a copywriter though i am not really into marketing.

At last, creative writing has the highest difficulty in my respect. The margin of successful creative writer is big, the process of enduring many rejection from the publisher, the pressure in your head keep thinking can you make a living, and many sacrifice i could mention as time for family and friend. For those who walk on this road, i salute you and keep your passion up.

So here i am, in the edge of nowhere again with different intersection. I feel lost again, but i know by heart that i am going in the right way, i can feel that my first destination will appear. I know i wander much in this life and i have been through the tough times. I made a mistake in the past and i am fully awake right now, to discover what is be my "true calling".

I consider talent as a natural gift since we were born, how we can differ from other, having a competitive gain which separates me from others. Talent is unique, everyone should have at least one, some earn more than one which obviously called multi-talent but how this can affect my decision making to my future career, what it has to offer and how do I use it wisely and efficiently so it can bring a positive way in my life and what quality of talent do I have? To answer all the question I need to reflect myself using my old approach, by turning back time to the time I was born so in specific condition the talent may spark, and right now I will catch it!.

For this experiment, the collection of data is not just coming from my personal experience but also, I asked my closest relatives and friends, at least, ten of them. The way I treated them could be a reflection for me to understand myself as they taking directly my treatment and the way my talent affect to them, to our surrounding, which sometimes I missed it.

In my childhood, I used to play alone, my dad was busy and always come back late while my mom also needs to work in her store. Most of my time spent with a caregiver, whom my parent pay her to stay with us to taking care of me. I could not remember clearly since it has been a long time but one thing that I remembered is I can be busy playing alone, fantasizing stuff around me to be what I think in my head. I could say that I am a dreamer, narrate an impromptu story from the middle of nowhere.

I think I have a serious issue related to it and this could be whether bad or good depending on how I think about it. That is a clear sign that I was born with good imagination and high creativity while in the other part this trait also has its own weakness, I hardly pay attention to what is real, causing many problems to my focus on study, since focusing on the study material requires consistent concentration and memorization. This is the reason behind my low marks on specific subjects regardless I have high IQ in average.

My imagination knocks at the random time, there is no exception to hold it since it comes from my head. It could ignite under purpose too but there should have a strong reason behind it, it comes when I caught in conflict with a person which occurs rarely honestly, my mind popped fight dialogues in my version and this could take more than an hour since the story will expand to somewhere else or when I have done something terrible and another dialogue popped in my head or at the time I could not help someone.

There is one secret of my life and I think this is the pinnacle of my imagination play, and because of this I can play with my mind for a long time, some of the good stories in my mind could be continued anytime and keep in my memory for a long time. The reason is because I have imaginary friend formed from my mind, its characters and traits of my preference. My favorite object to make me easier to visualize my imaginary friend is my pillow since its shape resembles a human.

Well, you don't need to afraid since there is no correlation with a mental disorder. It just my own personal method to escape from reality especially during my energy depleted. In other ways, fantasizing your own story may enhance your thinking in a different way. It is fun too but takes much time.

My academic score falling behind so it is hard to decide what is my strong subject that can relate to my passion as I remembered that I hate school. My classmate mostly assumed that I just weird. My jokes are not generally acceptable and my selection of topic during conversation is limited to what I like, I hate politics and drama in class, I never had a girlfriend even though I try to get one since I was bad in communication. All of them make my youth time sounds miserable.

This is what I regret most so now I am still searching what is my calling while someone else already chase them. I spent rest of my youth in video games and football. Imagine if someone wake up from his bed, went to school, do not join any clubs there, playing football till the school gate is about to close, continued with playing video and computer games then go to bed. If I summed up, what I spent all my year in middle high school just football and video game. I never study except at school and this the reason of why my grade always below standard.

Right until high school, one of my dad's friend introduce me to the teenage community of a church and my life is getting better, where else can you find a circle that is filled with reasonably positive attitude people, have many volunteer options to try and a reminder to keep you close to God. There was many volunteers vacancy I could try starting from still some of them require a background too such as music department. The options ranging from the multimedia department which manages the media (video, flyer design, projector), dance department which worships through dancing, prayer team for the generation and blessing, decoration team, public relation department and the last one, music department.

By given some options, I try the multimedia team voluntarily and it was exciting, I discover the field that I love to do, designing the flyer and creating a video with my team. My mental health is getting better and I feel accepted here until the time, in my third year, my mind has grown and think to leave the team, just because I got bored and my spirit to serve in church declined for no reason, makes me rarely to attend pray time. It went worse, and I dragging myself to apart from the community.

My leader in multimedia department pointed me to create a video for the annual retreat and since I had not worked with video for some period of time, I fail to make it on time. The leader told me the deadline is due and that is okay if I am not finished yet, as long as the promotion could be published in this week. Then the publication went sour, I forget to check the brightness of the video and the video is too dark in the projector. This experience makes me want to leave the community, I show up rarely to church and if the leader ever asked, I replied that I was busy with my exam.

There was education event to study abroad in my city and I have the opportunity to attend. The stand that I was looking for is either an IT major or design major. I don't have any intention to look at different major since I am not interested. After the event end, I went back home and have a conversation with my dad. He knows well the challenge of working in IT industry that is mentally demanding and time-consuming, you also need to have a strong problem-solving skill and quick reaction. He sees that I lack the attributes to work in IT industry and the competition between IT companies is fierce.

Later I talked about design major and I want to be focusing on animation. Another disapproval came from his mouth saying that it will not pay the bill. The chance of success in this field is small and he doesn't see as I have the ability to create a decent piece of art. In that time I gave up, I planned to work right after I finish my high school for any position available and end up becoming a salesman in a local stock-trading company, and only worked there for three days. My dad told me that I gave you a chance to learn the company works and as he expected that the company used high school graduates channel to gain their prospective customers.

I desperately nothing to do, comparing to some of my classmates had prepared with their major. I also don't understand why I don't have any intention to take some of these noble major such as law, doctor or engineer. Then I start to find any production house, to work as their graphic designer. The HR has seen my portfolio and told me to come tomorrow for the interview test. I came to him and talked about my experience and intention to work there, later he gave me a test, that I failed in all aspects. The test comes in three different software; first from illustrator or Correl draw, that I need to draw modified 12 circles in a different size. second from Adobe Photoshop, that I need to draw the object exactly from the first model, with some elimination of confetti. Third, I need to draw 12 models which look like a cartoon in 360-degree perspectives (one model every 30 degrees). I even could not pass the first test and later I told him to come back later.

My dad kept asking about my choice of university and I have no answer. He later registered my name in one school of business and since I do not really care about it, I just think that business major may work for me. I agreed with his decision and he explains that business field offers a various program and you will find what you love there. Fair enough I thought, I might be land to accounting or marketing, I have not tried it before though even if I do not found it later, the skill is universal and useful to have.

My first semester was spent fairly good, I enjoy the subject that challenged my intellectual to think differently and since this was just a start, my interest in the subject, Economic is in the highest state even though I should study the foreign language there, I felt zero burdens because everyone felt the same thing in their first experience in the new stuff. In the first semester, the topic was not deep enough so learning in the surface area still acceptably fast and the fun you get from your university friend makes you learn faster.

I make many new friends in the first year, from the foreign in my dormitory to the local students. My semester was enjoyable and I consider first to third's semester was the best time of my life. I take a part in university organization, something I never did before of getting involved to student community as a member. I was introduced with organizing an event, which I enjoy most to plan it for students. My senior even told me that I have a unique solution to the problem, not from giving attention to detail but the expression of the idea that just come out from my mouth, that in my further career I can be placed in the position of most people can't work in that capacity.

The bad stuff happens when there is an internal conflict from previous board leader to the newly appointed leader, change the management system toward our school agreement. The previous board member was the founder of this organization and set this organization to be apart from university interception in serving and combining our party with the local student. While the new leader has a different opinion that we could have a better relationship with another faculty in the university and manage events together. This school politic went worse because it holds the new decision upon new activity from student union and this condition may bring the unhealthy relationship with the faculty since we are responsible for the event in the university.

Later my good friend in the union told me to create one event that has no relation with the university and collecting the sponsorship to support the event. We are collected to some of the active members in student union and some of them are agreed to take a part, however, we still stuck with one position that we should have before finding another member, that is a front office position, a public relation that can be responsible for doing a negotiation with the sponsorship, make a continuous touch with student, and can handle stress to the similar questions. We are unable to find any so only we do this part. I found that it is frustrating to deal with talking to people, I got tired easily and once I did the job I got extremely exhausted. I found out that working with people is not my traits.

In the event I found my past passion, to work in the media by designing a flyer and ticket, making a promotional video, and writing about the content of the banner. It could be my cure through my hard time after doing promotion in two months extension. One problem that I don't think art is my talent is because rarely people appreciate with my creation. The moment people did that to me was in my highschool, I reworked some designer logo and picture and they said I was good enough to work in creative department but still deep inside my heart keep telling that it was not my original piece. I have a good analytics in 2D and 3D object and I have told you that I am a daydreamer but putting it into paper is another new level. My drawing was bad and I can be honest that I am not gifted in drawing as my friend that can draw object precisely of what is in his mind, even he learns it by himself.

Back to my personal topic, so from the information that i perceive in the world, where i should go? If i ignore what my heart told me, and follow my logic, i would be likely walk in the path of technology, e-commerce for example as combination between business activity and information technology or boldly take website developer since everyone will need them in year ahead. However, it would lead me back to the disappointment, of what i have experienced for 4 years walking in the wrong direction, leave me in suffering and negative mind toward life since the principle of major i took does not relate with my personal value. It based on someone opinion and at that time i have no idea where is my career would be, the good side about this job enable me to get the job easily than the specific major one. I have tried warehousing, sales and finance and all have its own point.

I am not disappointed though i also learn some stuff in the way, every knowledge is important. Still, i could be better if i know my ideal career. Currently i work on it and every new option to consider should pass these criteria:

Passion

If it does not resonate with my heart, it share different value for my principle, therefore i will decline the major since it is not my passion.

Talent

Talking about intelligent, the strong point which distinguish the quality between other, the gift from the above which is powerful if it used wisely.

Personality

Do i have the quality to perform well, how is my endurance toward rejection or waiting, do i consider myself adaptable, can i work with different background of people, and the list going much. This point is important to maximize the two point stated above. I always remember from the psychologist directly that this can be changed patiently by given plenty of time teaching myself.

Value

I consider this is the most important point to keep my performance consistent and help me to come back if i ever fail. What is my value hold into? Do i envisage world as a competitive field, who the best will win and collecting wealth to be my personal goal?, or to die in honor by serving faithfully to country or humanity and everyone will remember his name?, or making someone life better from what you are doing.

So this is my spectrum of calling version, it inspires from other reference to which has the same idea with it, given by 4 different characteristic of your ideal job, you need to love it (passion), you are great in it (talent), you are paid for it (monetize), and the world need it (mission). So what i have been working right now it to filter the prospective major i want to study in Canada later so here comes the graph.

I share equally the Passion and Talent value as they remain static, i can never change what already discover in my Passion, the list grow as i find another interesting stuff i love to doing for. However, i could turn off my Passion of something happen between it and i refuse to take any further action. For example when i was young, my mom told that i enthusiast to playing with dangerous stuff, electric cables is my friend and one day i got shocked from it and starting from that day i refuse to play with the stuff again but my curiosity has not changed. The factor underline to why i am not playing football and rather play with ridiculous stuff is because my curiosity.

One day, there is intelligent test in my primary school and the test result is good, my IQ consider as smart in average of 126 but this is contradictory with my study, most of my marks were under perform and consider myself as rebel, i hate following the lesson not because my capability does not enough so it bring me to frustration but because i am not interested with it. I hate to memorize lesson i consider useless but i attract with sport science and this lead me into the Kinestetics study type.

I seek personal escape through activity after class such as football or computer games, i can get easily addicted to the new games and since i was good at sport, i enjoy football. So if i could summed up what i love to do in my childhood, i am good at any activity that involve physically.

In my middle high to high school, my mark remain same, always under perform regardless how high my IQ is. Later i learn that even i could absorb the study material quickly, i easily given up if the subject does not excites me coupled with severe procrastination. I tend to finish stuff in short period of time (last minute study), which make my work mostly unprepared and unprofessional. My daily has not change since primary school since the time i enjoyed the most is after school period, by playing football and computer game.

I remembered in high school I ever join a church activities, which i voluntarily work as multi media operator, the entrance test was making one minute video using video editor software, and later on everyone got accepted since the position are hard to find the candidates. It was my first time working individually and the activity i most enjoyed is not about the result of my work, instead of how i plan of how my video supposed to be. If everyone were busy with the stuff i consider not interested, i plan it with every detail i could find, the selection and harmony of sound effects, the sequence transition, the element of lights in emotion, which excite my brain to the most but back to my weakness, i spend too much for planning and when it comes to execution, i got confused from where to start.

In this story, it shows that i love to plan but not to execute, i love to draw the chart and calculate the outcomes so i could say that i am a good planner and analyze but bad to follow up with my plan. Planning is not same with organize since plan only happen before the time frame while organizing is keep the plan works consistently from the beginning until the end.

This came up with my first major project in my life, that the senior member in multi media division trusted me to do the annual video promotion to attract teenager. The theme is about the time is short for our savior to come, so all sinner shall repent before He comes. I was busy with the planning, i don't want to disappoint my senior and it took all my time and energy, i also use the advance video editing software, after effects. I don't know the reason of why i am doing this but i love the process of learning the software even though is hard to understand in my level. Regardless i have minimum amount of time, i still insist to edit the video using after effects and the result is good, i feel satisfied and proud of myself, my personal mind keep telling i done the job perfectly and i was so happy.

Later i becoming more serious with media and art field, i start learning how to do photo editing tool and graphic creator. This point i felt somewhat stuck, i am good with imagination, my mind project a grandeur plan while my skill could not follow. I am poor at drawing and it leaves me to frustration since it took my time a lot and i still not satisfied enough with my drawing, which is totally different from what my mind think it should be.

This decision stopped my interest toward art, since i enjoy art but unable to creating a good piece of art and the foundation of every art need to be projected into drawing. It takes a lot time and effort to learn how to draw and in this time, my interest toward art is depleting because of my inability to draw. My drawing is getting nowhere to good, the more i put my time to draw i felt such a pressure and my personal logic told me to stop, it ain't worth it so i stopped to draw. I still enjoy any piece of art but i know my own capability that i lack of potential to put my mind picture into reality.

Finish with high school, i have some major in mind and during that time, i want to take animation or graphic designer as my first option. My dad told me to be realistic and think it carefully since only few whom perform exceptionally can be success in this field, the degree between the average and success is wide, it is like a death sentence in your career, the average will suffer to fulfill his life and spend rest of his life hard. Another point to mention is this major is popular for those who is average, doesn't have any chance to take challenge field as medicine or law since they need to be smart academically so the option left for them is Art. Some people take this major for fun or don't know where they are going so in the next period of year this job supply would be abundant, and they will suffer from the fierce competition among job seeker.

The other job that i mention is Information Technology, i don't know why this job seems interested for me, by given the difficulty and many person whom i know told me that the road of this path should be tough, you will lose your young time focusing on your study  and the development of the field is quick, which require you to be adaptable. My dad background was IT and he keep saying the same thing, i bet something horrible happen to him since right now he leaving his job and becoming an entrepreneur.

The only two options that left for me, i still don't know for other as i am not exploring the other deeply, leave me no option but following my dad opinion to study in Business major.
The experience was good in the beginning as i love the theory of economy and learn it fast, but when it comes to the practical stuff, i given up. It seems like i was lack of courage to start a business or start something, i need someone who opened a path for me to execute my planning process into reality.

In my first year, i joined a student community for my personal experience with organization since i never join any active organization which i can contribute to the school community. I was greeted by member of the organization and later i want to participating in making an event. My first event was a Christmas party, when it comes just one week after i got accepted in the union. My first job was to promote the event through the school and later i do the decoration since we lack of decoration team. The whole event was a big success and later we want to have another event, and the leader appoint some people to organize the event, and it was another success. Most of the coworker told that i have a good insight of planning every stuff in detail, and i was proud of myself to be able to contribute for their success.

If i could refer about my favorite subject in my major, it was Operation management. The reason behind it is simple, i like the way of teacher taught us with friendly approach and reasonable information. I felt that i am into this subject, regardless of executing is my worst type of job, the subject of operation management require lot of analysis on how product should be manufactured and delivered efficiently and quickly by reducing the process and waiting time, to analyze the cost of time and product in given statistical data and lots of chart. In this point, i suddenly realize that i love to analyze.

This take me to my first internship in trading company and i apply as the warehouse staff in the company but it turned bad. I learn nothing but repetitive process of data entry, what i supposed to learn for two months i completed it in three days, i only interested with how they create the warehouse system through excel and the method of payment. I expect more as i learn how to efficiently distribute the cargo in limited space of warehouse or the period of time on how the good entered to the warehouse until it arrived to destination. So i escape from the data entry stuff and i know they think i am a rebel, but i try to save my time there to do a productive stuff, i travel around the city to know the local wholesale and their price.

My second internship was better, even i work as a sales which gradually need to input the email contacts to their database, they also give me the chance work with their marketing team to do a research in prospective countries. I could perform better in this type of job but only one stuff which makes me want to leave the intern sooner is because i should finish my paperwork before May.

Currently i stuck in my job with no career prospect, while my mind completely matured in my mid-late change my view on how i see the world. I tried as much as i can, the stuff that i ever want to try and some of them work wonder. I realize i love to helping others, i feel such an accomplishment once i was able to help people. Before, i try to write the plan although i never done it, just the first part, takes me to the world of writing. I just got sudden realization that i am into writing and once i write, i will never stop writing. I should learn how to writing effectively since my writing sometimes out of topic and keeping tell the same stuff over and over again with difference emphasize.

In conclusion, my passion traits lies into this activity; Any activity that requires physical, planning something, analyze by given data and helping others. I may not discover other traits right now but eventually this will have a responsible part to be my career decision.

So previously I promised to write the major I want to take and what happen to my job application. I have been carefully selecting the major starting from my heart decision, which leads to many jobs related with the social caregiver as a yoga teacher or physical therapy, holistic nutrition, and writing. Every of them sounds interesting and resonance strongly in my deepest heart but I should be realistic, do the job have a future prospect here, or in Canada and how about the competitive job market among the job, is the job consider as favorite job which oversupply in current job market and what is the reasoning behind them? to answer it, I do a certain research related to the major, which I choose by heart.

I learn from this experience that every decision should be based on strong logical point, not just what your heart deemed to be. That job seems perfect to become my career but I don't want to see the job will take me nowhere as entering the good company is becoming more challenging.

The job market in this decade known sucks for a creative artist or any job related to humanity as people getting colder and individualist. I am a bit sad to realize that since my specialty and passion are located in that field. May I satisfy my heart and soul but my physical being need to be filled to, I need a stable income to makes my physical condition well to other else if could affect my personal balance toward my life.

What i saw in current world progression is, their is an abundant supply of creative worker that are unemployed, making a movement to enterprise themselves. With given technology advancement, many of creative worker leave their underpaid current job and establish themselves to be proud of what they are passionate about. This condition leads to two different scenarios based on their capability in the perspective of creative worker and thinker in the current world.

The rule which applies from the world start stated that those who is able can survive and everything has it time, nothing forever. There are two types of this people from the creative industry to take an option, first they have given a chance to look at the different perspective of the new job market, becoming an entrepreneur to make a living and the other, stick to the conventional way of working in production house to secure their financial point.

Those who chose the first option has given limited time to change their perspective toward future prospect, they need to learn the different approach to get their own customer as they cannot rely anymore on their boss. Being responsible for their own life and much of people on this stage becoming a starving artist. They listen to their heart and taking all the consequences regarding their life. The question is why they become a starving artist if they can create magnificent art that can change the world perception toward old way? The reason is as stated below.

Any of you know the story of Van Gogh, a dutch artisan whom pioneer in his own style, got his art rejected many times and die miserably? Later his death, his picture becoming one of the most influential styles which underline the foundation of many modern arts. What is his mistake and why he turn to be famous right after his death? The answer is timing. In this world that never stop turning, everything can be changed and nothing forever so there is a strange phenomenon which can turn someone from nothing to something in one night from the perfect momentum, timing is everything. No matter how your invention is different and could change the game plan in the world if it comes in a wrong time, it just nothing.

Currently, what I have seen, everything changes really quickly and those who enjoyed the high position of the food chain got threatened, asking for justice from a small group of people who messed up with their sustainability. Public seen the advancement of technology as a good sign that makes our life simple and practical yet the giant corporation that is not ready or stays with their conventional way got a serious warning. It comes to the analogy of Nokia, a Swedish largest mobile phone market share in his golden age went bankrupt, because he resisted to the old tradition while all the public prefers larger size of the screen and less touch pad.

From the story, we learn that nothing can stop the progression of technology since we already entering a technology age while everything under automation and everything come in an instant. Only in this age that nothing can become something and the big thing can become nothing. The technology wrecked the barriers between distance, continents, and presence. The information was spread out more quickly than electronic media. In this era, everything becoming more transparent.

We learn that it already happen to us and what the best solution for us is to act, embrace the era of technology and keep our eyes open to the change. Have the right attitude and understand that the material belonging can't be kept forever, everything has it own time. Time to say goodbye to the old habit that we usually do in the previous five-year since next year, it will not work at all.

My personal opinion with current condition is since transformation happens everywhere, it touch entire aspect of our life, changing what they commonly hold, we need to be ready for it, learn how it can influence our life and if needed, change any old habit we usually do, it takes effort however if we change gradually, it does not really impact our being. Instead of getting threatened, we should be grateful of what it bring to us, always be responsible for the new thing and keep the fun side of learning.

In my previous post is my personal taste about Cafe and i haven't finished what am i doing on Monday so lets continue from the time i was waiting for my sister, which is two hour free. I want to do a small writing in Cafe and i have seen the place numerous times, it looks like Cafe and they put Wifi sticker in a visible size so i supposed that the place has space to drink coffee and enjoy my writing day.

After i dropped my sister to her English course and told her that i will pick her up after two hours, i went straight to the place. The time i entered the building, i was surprised, there was only one guest and he is walking around, no smell of coffee at all only small group of tables and there was three waiters. I speak to one of them and asked is this place sell coffee and they laugh, they said that it was a foreign library which sell Chinese books.

I shook my head and asking to myself how come they make this strategic place as a bookstore? You know the place was located in the corner of big intersection, and by given price of renting one year there, it could be 50.000 CAD. The previous business in this building was run by Hong Kong cuisine restaurant, went bankrupt then continued to Korean restaurant and same story happen while right now, this place become a bookstore.

My mind start running wildly, i may look calm and passive outside but deep inside my mind start questioning about the existence of the bookstore, what purpose and who fund it. Is this one of the government diplomatic project to smoother the relationship between the countries? I asked straightforward to them is the owner from government official and they said he just an expatriate who open a bookstore here, before he start from the small bookstore in his local country and later it expand to nine different countries, awesome. I never think book business still gain the market advantage in current time.

I look around and since the book was mostly foreign, i can't read all the text. I just focused on the picture and look at some content. In a glance i felt foreign book has more quality toward local. The page is full with information, comparing to local book put much useless stuff and the worst, hidden advertising in it. I had already lost respect to local writer and read less local book, i would prefer to read e-book which has more content and to the point.

Later i picked my sister up and tell the story about it, she also surprised since she expect the place are supposed to be a Cafe. Okay finish with Cafe story so in Monday night i do a research again with my Canadian university which located near my relative place. I have cut down much major, by calculating and scaling on my passion with given realistic job opportunities in Canada. It comes up to 8 different majors and right now i successfully cut it down into 4 i will describe each other specifically in the next post.

I had a conversation with wanna be psychologist and from our conversation, at least i dig what is important value to hold, i want to keep my work and life balance, and in working i should be realistic since only small people love their job, others are pursue their job and other try to fit, other just accept, there are many factors and i will not blame myself of easily given up from working, it just a process and i will accept it, for me the job should has a value to the society so i suit to work part-time, as long i could feed myself and other part time i could do the freelance that i love and has the talent to do which is article writing.

So later i was focused with yoga, therapeutic massage, photography, and else. All of them will be consider as my hobbies, i separate the hobby from what i can make a living, since i could be stressful if i keep doing my hobby repetitively. I will later consider my hobby as another money machine but it just a side plan, if i really need more money or has much free time. I will take my yoga teacher training in the middle of April and after that i can voluntarily teaching somewhere. I don't feel like i waste my time or money since all education that i take considered as investment, and it will pay off someday.

Before i sleep, i opened my work email and found there are two job interviews in the upcoming week, one from the top FMCG company, Procter and Gamble whom i offer Sales Executive job and the other from renowned Japanese clothing line brand, UNIQLO whom i offer distribution management job. I will try both opportunities and at least if i fail i can learn from the experience.

This job offers make my decision divided into new branch. If i got accepted in one of those company, i will soon bury my Canada dream and focus on my career ahead, not much people gain the opportunity to be interviewed with multinational company and this could be a head start for me to compete in high level company, which could be a lucrative career and lifelong goal raking up the career path.

So i put another option with my future prospects, either i stay in current company which no career prospect, just a medium income or taking an opportunities to work and live in Canada from option one, by express entry eligible program or one year certification/ graduate program, or jump into huge company that offers long term career path. The last two seems favorable and i have only one chance. So now i am in a big dilemma, even i still not accepted in the company or accepted in express entry visa. Even i need to complete my IELTS if my express entry failed to attempt, and choosing the right major. I think that's enough to end the day and i have not writing about Tuesday, well, i will write it in the next post and also the 4 majors that i need to choose to study in Canada. So see you guys.

I felt guilt to not writing for three days. I felt that because in the last three days i am not much busy or overwhelmed with my work, yet i don't have any inspiration to write in this blog. For me who love to procrastinate, it is really hard to start something although if i already start writing, my hands just can't be stopped so that would be a paradox for me. Hard to start but also hard to stop. 

What happen in the last three day is as following, i will start writing my daily journal on Monday then Tuesday, i will not discuss about Sunday since i already write it in the evening so i consider it as one day. One of the strong reason why i am not writing is because my personal opinion about spending time in Cafe. I dislike doing stuff in a short time so if i really want to go outside, i should plan precisely what i should do there and it should be full of purpose, if my friend ask me to hang out without having a quality discussion, i got bored and regretful.

What underlines my cancellation of whole day plan is the schedule, since i be responsible to take and pick my sister from her course, which just last two hours, i feel it is worthless to spend time on Cafe, inside my mind i have been thinking that the time spent on commuting and preparing the laptop and book already consume half hour, and also another commuting to pick my sister to return and putting back my stuff taking another half hour. Not to forget i need to boost my mood before turn my creativity engine up by reading light article or small chat with friends, take another half hour. In total, if i only had two hours to spend time, i can be productive for only half hour so i would rather to stay somewhere else and wait until the time i pick my sister again.

So why i don't write at home or office? You know my brain only can be functionized properly in suitable conditions. It doesn't mean that i can not utilize my brain in the office, it still possible but it will not producing maximum results especially for the job which require creativity and endless possibility, the environment is crucial and vital to my imagination.

Write at home has tremendous amount of distraction, my mom call for help or lunch, my sister watching Youtube from her phone, the sounds from the outside, there was bed behind my table and in my table there is much toy can divert your concentration to surrounding. My room was designed with my sister and there is not much ventilation, surrounded by wall and the color was sky blue so you can imagine my room offer a perfect scene to relax. Anytime i got tired from working or writing i can easily get laid and sleep.

So how about writing in the office and have i consider it as a good idea? Well i have tried that before, i thought that office environment designed for productivity, full of lights and ventilation which boost your creativity and there was less distraction than my home but it all not exactly right. I have a strange fear of someone were watching my writing, i hate someone patronize and monitor my job, my stress could be raise and suddenly my imagination disappear. Sometimes i really don't understand people, the more i hide what i am doing, the more they are getting more curious to know what i am doing. I know it not wise to use your time by doing something not related with your job but this is my personal method which i know best to relieve my stress, rather that gossiping people or went outside smoking.

By given all that experience, i stopped writing in the office. Also, if not necessary i also avoid writing at home. I found Cafe has the best quality to offer, they have great stuff to keep you concentrate while writing, the smell of roasted coffee beans that keep knocking your brain to stay awake, the mellow jazzy lounge music to stay active, the atmosphere of cafe designed with art make my time meaningful there. Of course there is certain type of cafe which i avoid mostly and i will not hesitate to block their Cafe in my Zomato blog. 

For a writer like me, environment is a key point to make you want to stay longer in Cafe. I tend to avoid popular Cafe, which have a lot of customer and i don't mind with bad drink or food presentation, i all will go straight to my belly, i am not cool kids that like to taking picture of food and put them in social media. So here is the classification of Cafe that are suitable for myself:

  1. Quiet. Writer Cafe consider best in this classification. I will not disturbed with the sound of typewriter knocking, but extremely distracted with the voices. People voices especially those who loud and high pitched consider as the worst distraction.
  2. Adequate space. A Cafe that care with their customer notice that space is essential to keep customer distant to other customer, respecting their customer to be private and they can enjoy the true value of their Cafe.
  3. Light. Natural light that are passing through window take my mind to explore the ideas broadly, which take my writing to different perspective. I feel somewhat positive and cheerful once i get enough sunlight, even i am not a plant.
  4. Variety of Coffee. Okay, in the previous paragraph i wrote i can take the bad drinks and yeah it is but i would be more grateful if the Cafe has many variety of Coffee, in Cafe i rarely drink others, except the Coffee was made from instant sachet (the worst). My coffee intake are depends on my time spend in the place for example: i regularly take blue mountain beans or espresso whom famed for their strong body and acidity if i have important stuff to do and i need natural supplement to keep my head awake, and if i want to have a simple writing, i take latte.
  5. Reliable Wifi connection. I rarely tether from my phone and it can consume my monthly plans if i browse much articles to bounce my writing desire.
So that is my type of Cafe and all not ranked under priority, both shares same value among others. If some of you ask my Cafe that i usually avoid, there it is:

  1. Noisy. From group of workers from nowhere doing a marketing presentation, loud unemployed mid-wife talking about their life, business startup teams that are use Cafe as their headquarter to kids running around, screaming, and it would be the worst if all those types show up altogether in one place. My largest mistake so far choosing place to writing is in a fast food chain, McD. I end up thinking about my whole life for three hours, ignoring the fact i should be doing something productive there.
  2. Over enthusiasm waiter. I know their job is to make people enjoy with the service so they can expect some generosity from the guest by the tips. But it can be extremely annoying if they ask what they should help every one hour. Mostly for this type of service i will not leave any tips, and sometimes i am a bit cruel, i also keep the change too.
  3. Sachet coffee taste in regular Cafe price. This will goes straight to my banned list of Cafe. How you feel if you expect a coffee in such a premium price and when you sipped it, the taste similarly same with the sachet coffee you usually make in the office?. I really know the cost of running a business is not small but this is not the right way to treat your customer.

So yeah that's all the bad Cafe that i could think of. Maybe there is some to add but it doesn't bother much and i could take it in acceptable amount. I don't know why i am talking about Cafe and it comes to one article about my personal opinion. Well, my Monday story has not finish yet and i might continue it later in the next post so thanks for watching.

Good night and i have skipped my writing habit yesterday, i think its normal since i lack of idea to write and yesterday i had a meeting starting in the morning till the evening and when i came back, i went outside with my friend and we are supposed to leave at 11 but the rain hold us to wait, until 1 am so i had no choice to return early but wait. We waited around 2 hours and the time was spent in some useless conversation.

Yesterday i spent half of my day with meeting. I met up with colleagues and boss at 9 am, discussing about the upcoming project in the business, that we operate a new branch located in the south of Kaba Island. We adopted different system than the previous project. In the past, we take all control with the expenses and worker, which are time consuming and require more effort to check the performance of the business. Later this model works perfect to investigate the abnormal expenses in the business performance, which my partner and me dismantle a corruption in the company. The result of our finding makes the corrupted group got fired out all and since the business startup cost was pretty high, our boss later use subcontractor to operate the business and disband our group, then me and my partner are placed in another division that are responsible for only finance stuff.

The upcoming game will be start on next month, all contracts are ready and what my company need to prepare is to gather the fund by collective investor. So it depends on the investor, if they really want to proceed with the next project or keeping the current business. The business model for this time will use other contractor while we are become the collector since it safer and cost effective in term of wages. Later my partner asked about my plan of Canada and i told him i open all opportunity and let it be. 

My meeting will be focused on the game plan and our objective in the first three month of business start, this mean my job is getting more serious, since i will manage more than one business. Later we have a lunch break in the best barbecue chicken restaurant, with signature peanut sauce (i wonder how they made up because the sauce is so dense), and other salad. Later i need to pick up my mom from her brother place, she went there to see her mom and i should take her back in the evening. It was raining a little and the time we arrived at home, everybody went sleeping.

Today is a Sunday and my schedule is to pick my sister up from the church, then take my mom to see her mom again. I met with mom youngest brother, he is intelligent and rational but a bit pompous so no wonder he hard to get a girlfriend but i love get a conversation with him since we like to discuss and sometimes debate intelligent stuff. The advice from him is to just act first, everything you will learn in the process. I remembered yesterday my good friend ask me again about my business in gemstone bracelet, he seems interested to sell the product and i am being honest to him, i have not start to promote in online media yet, and i will prepare everything for the start, with given deadline in the Monday. For the start up, i will put 10 products variety in the social media and other independent online store and see what happens.

After family gathering, i drive back home and buy a pork take away, and before i write the blog, i have a promise with my friend yesterday to help him with his CV. So right now i was free, and for tomorrow i will do a yoga class on 8 am and start to fill my business Instagram with my product. Wish the best luck for my new business, thanks.

Last night was a big rain in my city, falling from the evening till morning. Some district in my city positioned lower than other resulting in the flood for specific area. It is already common thing, by given the position and the minimum absorption areas in my city, some expatriates even called our city as concrete jungle, since the development of the city more focused on building in reason of workplace opportunities, rather than a green space.

Today i wake up at 6, i don't know why i am awake in this time since last night i remembered to sleep around 2 pm, which i get less sleep. I look at my morning yoga class schedule and decided not to take the 10 am class, since the instructor do basic stuff and i want my practice to be more challenging so for today i will take night yoga class, since i need to talk with my yoga teacher who learn therapeutics massage. I think i have an interest with therapy, specifically involving in physic, i love to heal people and my relative know my deep interest with yoga lifestyle suggested me to try a healing practice.

If i not forget, last two months i already registered a pranic healing class, a healing method from universe energy, casting the stored energy through several steps to the person who needed. It is wonderful to learn how to heal people without body contact, since the transferred energy can be projected from the palm of your hand, radiates to the particular area. I had registered and paid for 10 CAD, which is very cheap admission cost to learn this beautiful skill but in their training camp that are being held for a week, i didn't attend any single time. I know this is wrong and waste of money but the place of our training located far from my location, it took two hours by bus to be at the place and another two hours in return.

Another productive stuff that i keep working on is my IELTS, during these month i already spare my free time to learn it for at least two hours, i was fortunate to get free study books whose owned by my sister friend's so i don't need to search on the internet, while i can get easily distracted every time i was looking for study material, my focus were on somewhere else and end up with reading articles i don't need to. Today i planned to finish chapter 3 and half of chapter 4, since the date of my IELTS test would be on next month.

Not just that, since i apply the 90/10 principles my life getting better. It helps me to ignore or escape the problem that stay in my way but i has not enough power to deal with, to reply with positive attitude, to understand from other perspective and to help those really in needed. With given good mental state, i found it easier to deal with cruel joke and revealing the true intention of a person, i have better experience in dealing with that time, i still sympathies as i am but i don't need to feel like what he is feeling and for the bad thing happen i do a long inhalation five times before react, because nothing right when your heart is sad.

Combining with the book of Keith Ferrazzi, i rise again the hobbies that i think it is useless and waste time. I learn myself better, that i am a fast learner and great adaptability in nature. Artistic and sensitive dominates my character, so what i going to do is to maximize this potential by learning what i love with given trait. I no longer see writing as waste of time, i feel one of the best medicine for me is to put my problem through pen and perhaps someday i could get paid for this, at least my writing skill will take me somewhere latter. I have a good sense of art, easily understand the value of it and the effort of making it, even i don't know the procedure. This come up to my photography skill, as my hobby in spare time but right now got abandoned during these days. I still remember some friend said that i was talented to capture the right moment in the right time, and once i am done with IELTS, i will sharpen my photography skill for my yoga collaboration.

Talking about hobbies always fun since that is where your passion lie. Some i had discovered for long time but i consider to not continue the path since my personality doesn't fit with it, it is good to keep my life more colorful and balanced. What important for me is find an active community with the same hobby listed above and this might be challenging since i live in the city and the community has changed much, people has less time than before and becoming more individualistic, something that happen in high technology period so i need to review my approach to be modernize, through social media or community website to find the right community. If someone ask what do i want to learn for the next skill, which can bring impact to my skill and hobbies, i would love to try to create a website, to share my knowledge and experience.

I can summarize that this week is the most productive week ever in this year and hopefully i could be becoming more than today, i hope. I listen to some of closest friend to stop comparing myself with other, since born we share different talent and traits, everybody is unique to each other and nothing understand me than myself makes me stable with what i have right now, i am so grateful and happy.

I have free time in this night, nothing important to do so i want to make one hour of this free time a bit productive so i try to find an free e-book about yoga, since i had a conversation between my yoga teachers that before he teach yoga, he learn some skill that is not covered up in his teacher training nor his teacher taught in the internet so i browse the google and what i found about yoga, comes in different branch, starting from the challenging one; Ashtanga Yoga to the yoga for relaxation, Yoga Nidra. Today my search about yoga will be focusing more on the Sivananda Yoga, founded by Sivananda obviously. This branch of yoga comes from Hatha Yoga so expecting the exercise will be similar from Hatha.

In Sivananda Yoga, the level of difficulty consider as beginner though it can be increased through variation. The exercise is focused on the constant breathing in Asana and relaxation. The philosophies of Sivananda Yoga are summarized into five principles, starting from the Asana (exercise), Pranayama (breathing), Savasana (relaxation), Vegetarian (yogic diet) and Dhyana (positive thinking and meditation). With given principles, my subjective opinion this yoga type suitable for those who want to try the basic of yoga with given limited requirement and easy to follow for the pose.

The beginning of the exercise start from meditation phase, either from Savasana pose or seating position, Sukhasana. The preparation is essential to shift your mind from current routine, makes it focused to only what happened in your body, listening to your own heartbeat and focusing on breathing which can clarify your mind. After we done with preparation, the next step is about Pranayama which comes into Kapalbathi or Skull Brightener breath, starting from Oojayi inhale, then we contract our low belly, forcing out the breath in a short burst.  the benefit of this technique to cleanse the respiratory system, lungs and sinuses and also help to prevent illness and allergies.

Right after pranayama exercise from Kapalbathi or alternate nostril breathing (which i will write about this later), our mind are ready and the body already got heathen up, so we will begin to start the Asana. In Sivananda Yoga, the beginning of the Asana were just same as Hatha yoga, starts with Surya Namaskara or Sun Salutation. Starting from the Sun Salutation A for two or more times depending on the instructor then continued to Sun Salutation B. 

After Sun Salutation, here come the 12 Asanas, which makes the exercise differ with other yoga branch. The series below illustrate the twelve basic postures.


                                              
         Kakasana/Crow                    Pada Hastasana                 Trikonasana/Triangle
                                                 Standing Forward Bend

One full class of Sivananda Yoga usually takes 90 minutes so before the class, 
the practitioner need to prepare their body, not taking much food before two/ three hour of class and drink enough water during the practice considering the duration taken quite long for one class. If you want to try the class then my personal advice is find a qualified Sivananda Yoga class near your place so you can get the insight of the exercise from the experience and ask the question related to the teacher. Have a safe practice!

My morning routine become worse than ever. I slept at 4:30 am last night, i feel not sleepy yet hard to fall asleep so in the time before bed i just play with my phone. I try to limit my usage of phone after 10 pm no electronic devices anymore to cope me with sleep schedule and reduce the distraction causing from the other message or unnecessary checking.

I know it is something wrong with my sleep schedule since i feel so sleepy in the period of 7 to 9 pm yet totally energized after it, which my prime condition ranged from 9 to midnight. I read an article write some men active at night which is nocturnal and their productivity depleted greatly during the day. I have a specific question with that statement since my productivity during the day is depend on my mood, whether i feel good i can make a good outcome nevertheless during the day or night. I just feel myself more grounded and emotionally stable which generate positive mood resulting in more productive time.

So the time i wake up today is at 11 am, which is not good at all and i will find any article related to biological clock and how to reset it as normal person. So today my schedule not so much, i just need to take my sister to her English course and in the meantime i have 3 hours free to doing anything, since the office work not so much that i could finish it later on. I finished to book from Keith Ferrazzi, one man with many job and this book relates me much, some people in this world have more than one job, some even manage their job variously. The good point from this book is teach me about to keep your permanent job as your advantage since your first job can be your foundation, a first place to learn in real work situation, learn about friends and colleagues, free training in specific skills, and a sense of safety while also growing your side job, that can be your entrepreneurial experience, giving you autonomy and freedom to do it seasonally.

I learn from the model of this book that many successful people has more then one side job, not because they are not overly active or hard working, but the reason is very contradict with that, just because to keep their life balanced by doing what they love in their routine. They know how to optimize time by doing what they love in a positive way. They may have 9 to 5 career job but in their spare time, they also working on something they love. Doing this is useful because once you got troubled with your routine, for example: lay off due to company shut down or getting fired off, you are not lost everything and start from the beginning, since you already set some job in your spare time. If you dare enough, your side job can be your opportunity to be successful in this field and this is not require you to abandon your main job.

Later he taught there is 4 side jobs you can do anytime, not limited by experience and it always be there. There are: Learning, as a human being we encompass our self to continuously study and seeking personal grow. Teaching, passing skill and experience to people just as preparing the younger generation for the preparation to the real life and the benefits from you also memorized better of what you have learn and apply it to your teaching. Writing, keep your brain active and creative and leaving a beautiful path for the reader to experience about what you think. And lastly this sounds only be done by experienced person but in reality you can do it, just if you want to, Mentoring, everyone has their own expertise in one thing that they are really serious working on and this relate with teaching people specifically by monitoring their work and watching them grow.

In other of his article he wrote the quick tips how to win people, and i will discuss the article later on. My last night searching was all about holistic nutrition, the university credibility which recognized by Canadian education board, the curriculum which i got a sneak peek on their introduction 101, the cost that is not appear on the website so i should contact one of the address, and most importantly the career prospective about this job since most people take this as their side job. I searched on Canadian web based job searching and appear that obviously this profession will work in health industries, from small clinic, organic food groceries, green product start ups, to the major corporation which produce various daily product such as Kellogs or Nestle.

Later i got from local site the difference between Holistic Nutrition and Natural Nutrition is the curriculum, that Holistic Nutritionist as the name is the combination of emotional, spiritual and physical health so the study will be focused more on the wellness and lifestyle with nutritious food plan and the Natural Nutrition will be more focused on nutrition component, food preparation and nutrition and food knowledge which is only focused on food and have a deeper theory of food than other. Most of the Natural Nutritionist will have a main career as nutritionist or dietitian, or any career related to health industry since this program mostly need a basic health science education for at least diploma or bachelor while to strengthen their credibility, they need another certificate to define their recognition. In the counter part, the Holistic Nutritionist mostly taken as a side job of any health field practician. Massage therapist, elder care, special need kids or person therapy, took this job as their secondary, to compliment their job or to increase their knowledge of health science.

My three hours time almost done and i will prepare myself to pick up my sister and later on if i have free time i will continue writing about my finding in holistic nutrition. See you later.

Today i woke up late again, since i had just slept at 3 am yesterday. If two days ago the reason of why i stay late is because of the limited time of game dungeon, then today excuse is because i had slept two times before. I felt so energized that i don't want to sleep, even it is the time for sleep. I messed up with my body clock and today i planned to sleep early, i manage not to sleep in a day and try to make myself busy as possible, in the next one hour i will have two yoga classes which will make me tired and can go to bed quickly, i aimed for 11 am sleep today so wish me luck.

The day i started without my morning routine and i already skipped that ritual for two weeks if i remembered since, the reason if this is because my life lacks of drive, that can direct me to go where and following that route from the start of the day. I found myself to be not productive again in the last three day therefore, i managed to find an useful activities that i can do, i keep on track with my progression, doing my socialization by talking to my friends in yoga class. Not just that, i also find another useful article for my later studies in Canada, which i still not decided what i want to do because every path seems wonderful and has its own challenge, my body compass resonance greatly about health science related studies and i feel that everyday i getting better to understand myself.

I found the most positive experience that i could get is by talking to a friends, not just my ordinary friend but the one who has the same interest with me, and the best of it i had found in yoga class, where i known some of them has a strong interest in health and physical activity. Other than that, any social experience result in frustration since i have limited energy to deal with shallow conversation or just a chit-chat. I am okay to take my presence apart from my current friend, if we do not produce any constructive and positive conversation.

Meeting new friend is a must, therefore there is a precaution for me to filter of whom i could get along with. I don't want to start and maintaining relationship since quality is essential for my social. I have planned to try church local communities and try to relate myself and if i am lucky enough i could find a good friend which has similarities or differences that could be filled each other weakness from its strength.

In the past two days my interest about finding a better job has depleted greatly, i have less to none willingness to throw my application and the reason i give up so quickly is because all career means pointless toward my personal happiness. I consider myself as different in way of pursuing the happiness to other people. Most person i relate think about building a nice career and have a nice hobbies they can pursuit on with their own career. I am not interested with that way of thinking, i want to be an impact to the society, even i have not get paid or sacrificing much of my times well i don't care. I listen to my heart, which guide me the way of life.

So that sum of my social life currently, and i still have a contact with my friend. Even i don't meet them personally, at least i could message or join their conversation. There is one reason why i hard to gain a new friend beside my individual personality, because i work at home regularly makes me remote from society. I am not blaming with this condition, while i be responsible to what happen in my life, so i found that the way to get a new circle for me is by myself, find any meetup or positive group talk, topic that interest such as health science or yoga, especially we live in high technology world when organizing an event would be easier than before.

Today while i searching the information about Health Science program in Canada University, i found a good way to learn new skill, free of cost and you can learn it everywhere, just need an internet connection and a device. Alison.com, enable me to learn various topic of knowledge i want to learn, health science, nutrition, e-commerce even a language can be learn in that website, the only negative point is the information is general and only provide a limited amount of knowledge but at least i can learn the basic information about nutrition in the course. I will keep with that and write what i learn today since i had to go for now.

Today I had not enough sleep and resulting of two times taking a long nap. I know this is not good for the body and the purpose is quite silly, there is limited time dungeon in my game that only appear once six weeks. The limitation of duration, last for two days make me consume all the weekend time I have to grind on the game well, at least, I could manage to wake up at 7 and ate half portion of steamed chicken rice before yoga class.

Today I took two yoga class with almost empty stomach and got tired during second class, which is power yoga. The reason that keeps me for yoga is to make my body active and socialize with teacher and friends, two of the reasons are enough to lift my morning mood high. I done talking about my plan to volunteer teaching yoga in Sunday morning, the teacher agreed that in the next month I could be helping him to teach there, so I can apply my yoga theory into practical and real teach situation with his member. I met one lady in my class that also planned to take teacher training in the same batch with me, so it is a bit surprising to know that I am not so alone during the learning later.

I slept only 5 hours today so after yoga class, I went straight to home and get some sleep. After I woke up, I am checking my email and do my work until the evening I am free, there is nothing to do then I took my sister to her English course and also I want to go outside, staying in the room produce less idea compared to coffee shop so I tried one place where is near with my home and a bit disappointed with the internet connection, which cut every five minutes, fortunately, I bring an IELTS handbook and study there for two hours, the time I went back home it was raining, not too much and considering myself a bit tired of staying in a crowded place with two hours totally focused on study, before dinner I take a short nap.

Right now I know I made a mistake by sleep at night, even a nap can prevent myself to fall asleep but what can I do, I could not help it but listen to my body so I will use the remaining time to check something useful on the internet, either is about Canada or yoga, or you know i consider to take a blogging class in local community but the price, of course, break my pocket so much which is 300 CAD. I hope I could find the best price for blogging class, maybe from the local community website or another blogger teacher who voluntarily share his blogging skill. So I think today is enough and see you on my next post.
