That thing about "glorified" success
Say, what success is? What is that thing that people is chasing for hardly? Is it a good score in school? Is it having a good job, making a lot of money? Whether employed or being entrepreuner? Is it a personal fulfillment? Following your one passion, such as to travel around the world? I think, as long as we live, it is true that we have to keep chasing those things above. But, I think society is too focused in one type of success that often put pressure to oneself. Another say in putting pressure is maybe, we are too busy in comparing ourselves to other people that we forget we may have achieved our "own" success too. Thus, I agree with the quote that says "the important thing today is just do better than yesterday". Success should not be about getting score 10 or A in every subject. It's a good thing, of course, but it should be gradually improve score. Maybe this quiz you'll get 5, then success means that the next quiz you get 6. 6? Not 10? So what about it? Why you should focus on one type of academic success, getting full score? Success should not be about "that genius who makes an app at young age, sell it for million dollars", or "that genius who able to hack or solve hacking problem", or "she/he who started business from college days", or "she or he working in such big company". They are amazing, of course, also inspiring, good role model for the youth. But, what's wrong with just able to type a simple word document and ppt document instead of making that one great app? Maybe, some people takes months also to learn that. What's wrong with just understand and able to solve one lecturer's asignment instead of juggling with many entrepreneural adventures. Maybe, some people also sacrifice sleeps for that. What's wrong with just working for small company, at least you have your own money to pay bills. The media often glorifies achievement of "big" wonderful people, that we often feel small of our own "big" achievement. Success should not be about "that adventurer who travels around the world", or "that passionate people who love making videos on youtube", or "that religious person who is, well, able to do a lot of kind of ibadah". They are wonderful, of course, also very brave. But, what's wrong with just visiting your grandparents's house. Maybe some people just have the money and time, enough to visit their relatives. Also, what's wrong with just want to have a stable day-to-day job, which maybe we don't have that many passion in it. Some people just need to feed for their family. And, because I am moslem, what's wrong with just able to do 5 times pray in a day and fasting in Ramadhan, instead of going umroh so many times. A lot of us have known deep down we want to do it also. We do not have to feel small for all the things that we are doing now. So what? Maybe your score, your school, you working condition, your financial condition seem not that great according to the society. Do not feel small, do not feel like you have not achieved anything. Celebrate any small achievement you made today, and just do better tomorrow. The sun will rise again and you'll somehow will get to your own success land.
The thing with nothing "important"/"urgent" to do in one day
We all have that time, when it feels like nothing to do or do not want to do anything. They day is so boring, but it's still so ridiculous and impossible to stay at the bed all day. So, as a last semester student, usually who only has thesis to be finished, we have so many nothing-to-do time. But still, you want to be productive, so what should we do, instead of just seamlessly and waste money by hanging out with friends outside (it doesn't mean it's bad, but we'll talk about it later)? I have some advice for that. This is what I developed by myself, after looking at this graph below.
So, the point with the graph above is you need to keep learning, anything. Also, another thing is to keep being in "social". Therefore, here are my list of activities that I like to do in my nothing to do time: 1. Learning a. Listening to Podcast Two channels I like to listen in SoundCloud: there are Lavendaire with her playlist on lifestyle advice and TalkToMeInKorean with their tracks on, obviously, learning Korean language. One thing about Lavendaire, it is such a wonderful channel. She has a youtube channel also, it is also wonderful if you want to check out. So, in the lifestyle advice she will talk topics that really encouraging and lighten you, just overall untangled your mind. b. Academic learn Well, I do like to play this app called SoloLearn, it's an app giving you some brief and quizzes you on something IT related. It's because I'm a computer graduate, that's I love something with IT. I also enrolled my self in Udacity online classes, to refresh my memory and learning something new in IT world. c. Read Just read anything. Any newest news or read book. Well, for me, beside reading some newest news to catch up with what's going on with the world, I also read news that matter to me, such as techinasia.com (IT related). Then, I also read books. I read ton of books. When I finished one, I'll just read another. I am kinda addicted to book. What I'm reading now is The Geography of Genius by Eric Weiner. 2. Pampering yourself Women, we like to be pampered. So, why don't you do it by yourself at home. It saves money also. I'd like to do body scrubbing, and just basically taking care my skin from head to toe, while listening to the Podcast. Ah, it feels so good. And somehow, I feel I have accomplished something afterward. Haha. 3. Clean your room, dishes, and etc. Okay, so after you clean yourself, you cannot keep staying in such a dirty environment, right? Go clean your room, wash the dishes, put away your laundry. Still, do those things while listening to the podcast. Trust me you will be refreshed afterward. 4. Take care of your mental health also a. Journaling Just write anything you want, any length you want, draw anything you want. It will make you realize what you truly feel, what you truly think. For me, it triggers my motivation, my positivism, and my creativity. b. Praying Well, I would say I am such a religious person, so I prefer praying rather than meditating. But, mediation is also good, you can make yourself calmer and be more mindful to your surrounding. Meanwhile, praying is the way to connect with God. So, because I believe in God, and connect with Him is what's making me calmer, I like to pray. There are many ways of praying to Allah, the Islamic God. I would say I'll do Dhuha, it's a daylight/morning pray, or Hajat Pray, it's a special pray when you really really wanna ask something. Reading Quran is also wonderful, while on it you can also do memorization. Another thing is you can just read any supplication(du'a) and dzikr (compliments to Allah) anytime you want and any much you want. In Islam, making yourself closer to God by doing all those prays will make you be granted rewards by Allah to be used later so that we can go to heaven. So, beside calming my mind, praying will give me benefits. I love it. 5. Exercise I admit I don't really like to exercise. But I realize somehow, I still need to move. So I do a short stretching from time to time. And okay, if I think I really really need to move, I'll go hangout with my friends to a mall, or just go do small grocery shopping in nearest shop. 6. Free yourself but don't be too much Be social, whether it's on internet, such as intagram, snapchat, facebook, watch youtube videos, drama series, log onto your favorite community page, or real one, meeting your friends. But still, don't be too much, pay attention to your eyes and mobile data, and time spent. Nothing too much will end up good. For me, being so much free will make me regret in the end of the day. I don't know, I just feel that I am way more too able to spend my time in much more productive way, so yeah, that's me. So, what are you doing in your nothing-to-do time?
