Breakthrough

Doesn't matter if is not knowing,

Doesn't matter if it is right or wrong,

Doesn't matter if it is good or bad. 

Doesn't matter if you want to start the project,

Doesn't matter if you want to stop the project. 

What matter is..

To have a good thought to start the project,

To have a good thought to stop the project.

Remember,

There are tonnes of reasons to stop you when you start your project,

There are tonnes of reasons not to stop you when you stop your project,

Aware of that right and wrong, 

Aware of the good and bad. 

Do not create an endless stream of worries, anxiety, fears...etc

When you continue doing till the end. It's a breakthrough.

A flower that doesn't know how to bloom

I always wanted to be a beautiful flower that makes everybody happy in my own way. But it seem I am a flower that doesn't know how to bloom.

Maybe, I am surrounded with a code. A code that seem no solution for it. All my dear friends are following it. I am following it now too and I can't imagine for the next 10 years I am to be like this...

'In the morning,
Still driving my 10-year-old car to same old office,

In the office,
Using the latest computer, but still designing same old design,

On the phone,
Using the latest iPhone, but talking to same old client,

At home,
Still sleep on a same old bed with same old person.'

It seem the code has no meaning in life other than survival. I am surrounded by the code and it seem real to me other than make a difference to myself and others etc.

Please let me know if you have any other formula to break this code.

Abundance

The world abundance of food, but not healthy,
The world abundance of buildings, but not shelter
The world abundance of clothes, but not beauty,
The world abundance of money, but unhappy,
The world abundance of securities, but fear,
The world abundance of facilities, but busy.

Something wrong what I saw.

The Best Advice

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Steven Paul Jobs

The best advice I can give is to get as much input as you can, and then don't follow any of it. - David Horvath (UglyDolls)

Repeat the Sentence

If you are angry, and you wanted your mate know. Tell him/her "I am angry" and repeat the sentence until he/she really knows what you mean. Only that sentence without react or shout. You will feel less anger and your mate will understand your feeling.

---

Permission

Give yourself permission to be creative. Permission to try something new, permission to fail, permission to embarrass yourself, permission to have crazy ideas.

---

Accept Wholeheartedly

Accept wholeheartedly is a blessing.

---

Dislike or Hate

Naturally, if you seem dislike on the 'thing'. The 'thing' will naturally disappear. Maybe it because the 'thing' feels it benefits nothing to you anymore instead of dislike it. But in our taught, if you become to know that someone hates or dislike you. You might be the someone's enemy and might not disappear from him/her sight forever. Why? We are mis-educate or mislead somewhere along our life.

Happy Father’s Day! 8/8

As I know, most of the time papa not as sweet as mama, but sometimes...

It is sweet when first time my papa preparing breakfast for us although it is not as delicious as mama.

It is sweet when my papa bought a toy for me although he doesn't like toys.

It is sweet when my papa sent us to train station and bought us some food for the journey.

It is sweet when I heard my friend's papa bought a car for her {a surprise one} although papa and her daughter had an argument about the car that her daughter doesn't like then.

It is sweet when I heard my friend that her papa remembered her daughter's favourite TV programme and reserved the time for her and on the TV programme for her when it start.

It is sweet when I waiting at the bus station in the evening and I saw papa fetch his daughter's home.

And I believe there are many more sweet things that papa had done.

Happy Father's Day! 8/8

Happy Design : Part II

A Guard

This is a place that many of us wants to go,
A Paradise called happiness.

There is a problem entering the Paradise.
It has a big fierce archangel, armed with a flaming sword,
defends the gate of Paradise.

It is not same as I am entering a library,
As the entrance sign stated “Be Silent”
But in Paradise,
Is has no sign, what so ever written at the gate,
But the fierce archangel will make you,
fear, hatred, angry etc.

If, happened I stepped in the Paradise,
A few second later,
The archangel will force me out,
The whole day or sometimes few days,
I will be unhappy.

This is something wrong somewhere,
What is so valuable about the Paradise we die for?
Happiness is Paradise,
But Paradise is not happiness.

There is no way to happiness,
But happiness is the way.
And remember,
Letting go the Paradise we die for,
Is Happiness

Resistance

Support

No right, no wrong is support,
No good, no bad is support,
No pride, no ego is support,
If you want others to support you, that is not a support.
Support is miracle,
We tend to forget it.
Support is independent,
It don't need accompaniment,
Somehow sooner or later it naturally has accompaniment.

Support is a growing tree in the forest,
It don't need us to give support,
It will naturally grow getting from everyday sunlight, soil, rain and etc.
A tree don't ask the sunlight, "Hey! today shine me more!"

If it grow, it grow,
If it can't grow, it will die,
And will wait for second seed to grow again.
It naturally never ending.

Support is when it is success, it is success,
When it is fail, it is fail,
Support will do it again, when it failed.
It personality never give up.

Support wants to keep thing going...
So, just do it...

Moody in its way

Moody, somehow coming my way,
My moody is not lazy,
It just wanna to lock up itself,
Do not want to do anything,
But just lock up itself.

Do not get me wrong,
It is not tired,
It is not anything you name it,
But moody in its way...

It got its personality,
I could not figure it out,
Oh! So moody.

Although out there is sunny,
But I has a grey cloud,
above my head.

Do you know grey could?
It is not white but grey,
It do not want to rain,
and just hold the rain.

Do you what I mean?
The cloud hold the rain,
Or the cloud could not rain,
Maybe it worry about something,
Something that is very small matter,
And Moody thought it is a big matter?

Somehow, the moody will cease later,
And will come back again,
But I don't know when it will come and go,
Come and go without letting me know in advance,
That is why it got its personality,
And mystery to me too...

Perhaps, it has inform me and I do not know?
Hmm....

Tic-toc...

Tic-toc... Tic-toc...
Sounds of time in my mind,
No matter how busy we are,
Time still...
Tic-toc... Tic-toc...

Perhaps time don't know what is time,
But it knows its job is important,
Perhaps we know who we are,
But we do not know what job is important,
That is why we claim we are busy people.

Stop and listen to the working time,
Its important work done so beautifully.
It is simple yet beautiful.

Everybody know time,
But it not as famous as a superstars,
And not rich as billionaires,
Everybody care about time,
But no one care about its good job.

Value the time,
Time is value...

Gaga

I seldom listen to Lady Gaga songs,
But she hits me when I watch her mentoring the contestants in American Idol.

The words and the message hits me,
Deep deep,

The strong word for me is,
When you sing it, mean it...
And put drama in it.

It tells me when you do something,
Know what you doing and mean it.
When you doing something,
Doing it truthfully from your heart.
Don't worry about the result,
Because 'something' will lead you to the end...

The message isn't new or revolutionary,
But here is her message:

Don't give up on your dreams,
Be true to yourself,
Forget about your insecurities,
Hold true to your dreams no matter what anyone says,
Embrace your inner freak,

She is neither good nor evil,
But she is herself.
She is hundred percent be on what she plays/doing.
Because she is honest to herself,
And content with herself,
She doesn't need others' approval,
Because she accepts herself,
And the whole world accepts her.

Space

If you have a space in your heart, you can make your mate beautiful.

note: space is the absence of ego, anger, greed, hatred, selfish...

Please Remember

Please remember that we have awareness,
And remember that we no need to find it somewhere else,
Please remember, when we see a mountain, 
We are away from mountain.

Please remember that we have loving kindness,
And remember that we no need to find it somewhere else,
Please remember, every movement we move, 
We are seeking for happiness...

Please remember that we have compassion,
And remember that we no need to find it somewhere else,
Please remember, that every time we want to get rid,
Is to get rid of suffering...

Please remember that we have joy,
And remember that we no need to find it somewhere else,
Please remember, that rejoicing in the happiness and virtues are joyfulness...

Please remember that we have equanimity,
And remember that we no need to find it somewhere else
Please remember, that everything are no distinguish,
Like a pen has no definition of long or short...

Please remember that obstacle is not problem,
Problem is we forget to remember that we have awareness, lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity...

Please remember we have it all in us for 24 hours,
It's like we no need to find a torchlight to lead us when we are under the sunlight.

Please remember....

115

It's been an hour...
I'm at page 115,
An hour later,
Still at page 115,
Why oh Why?

The page starts with...
"Eternity is in love with creation of time",
This is what William Blake wrote,
Still at page 115,
Without reading, but starring...
Why oh Why?

Page 115,

Remind me all artists that I love,

Audrey Kawasaki, Tran Nguyen, etc...

And remind me all the artists and the writer,

I respected most,

Andy Warhol, Seraphine, Antoine, WenZhen etc...

Stop at 115, and 

Still at 115...

Again, ready to read page 115,
A second moment,
Leads me to write a poem, called 115
Why oh Why?

The power of...
115...

A Thought

Have you had a moment,
A moment that your thought is so silent?
You knock the thought and it never respond?
And you are on your own?

Have you had a moment,
A moment that your thought is so resistance?
You ask {her}, but it just a negative reply?
And you are on your own?

Have you had a moment,
A moment that your thought is so loud?
So loud that you ask {her} to stop,
And it won't stop?

Do you agree that your thought is the closest soul mate?
I'm not sure though...
I think that another mate hidden between me and the thought,
A mate that didn't shown up constantly,
A mate that is shy, but very intelligent?

Well.....

Ability

Papa bird and Mama bird are looking for a place,
A place for their future children to be born,
"Ah Hah! This is the place!"
Papa told Mama....

Papa and Mama finding materials,
Finding materials to build their nest.
Not a luxurious nest...
But a comfort and save nest for their children...

I'm not sure when was Mama bird laying the eggs,
But I know she is in the nest for almost everyday,
From day to night, till rain and thunder,
She is still protecting her children,
And waiting for her children to be hatched.

This is the moment!
The moment of two little tiny bird are born,
Papa bird come visit his children,
Papa and Mama are so happy....

Well, there are a cat below their nest,
But Papa and Mama seem not so afraid of the cat,
Because they know that they have protection,
A protection from us.

Papa and Mama take turns to find food for their children,
Even though, they know we are protecting them,
It seem that they are alert every moment,
Because their love one need love from them.

I feel that they are a good Papa and Mama in the world,
Not because of they feed their children and give them shelter,
Because they know and trust their children's ability.

The ability has come!
Papa and Mama sense it!
Papa said,
"Son! Please remember.You have the ability.
The ability that leads you to freedom and happiness.."

The sons was afraid,
Mama said,
"Spread your wings!
You have a strong and beautiful wings..."
But Mama seem worried,
And I know how Mama feels,
As I know Mama is a Worrier and Papa is a Warrior...

Papa said,
"Please know your ability,
And please remember that.
You no need to find it somewhere else.
You've got it inside your heart."

Mama said,
"Please remember your very first taking off and fly,
It's like happiness are come to you..
You are free to fly up and down, left and right,
And that is your ability..."

Papa added,
"All obstacles is not a problem,
Problem is you forget your ability,
And please remember this until you die,
Because it leads you to freedom and happiness."

Both sons spread their wings,
Up up they fly,
And accompany by their parents,

From the day onwards,
I never see them coming back to the nest,
I am happy and have a gratitude to the Bird family,
Because they give me a profound teaching.

And I added few words here,
Don't abuse your child or your own ability,
By ordering your child, do not fly up and down, left and right,
Only FLY straight...
You will destroy you and your child ability....

A day with expectation

The bus has arrived,
I happily up to the bus and find a good place for myself,
And can't wait to reach to the place where the retreat are.

I am the helper with a joyful heart {at first},
Until I reach the place where the kitchen are,
My eyes when big and my jaw drop,
Not because it's beautiful,
But because of...
Experiencing like, after earthquake and tsunami.

I am not complaining, but it's out of my expectation,
Dust and webs everywhere,
It's just like Kitchen Nightmare show,
A nightmare to Gordon Ramsey...

Hmm... Well, I think I was lucky to see a web in the fridge,
{Not everybody does}
It has no time to sleep, but to clean the kitchen,
To clean the area where we use,
And the Buddha and the Dewa in the kitchen too...

Our work didn't run smooth on the day two,
With a little conflict with our senior,
Participants complaining food not enough,
But this is out of my decision

My heart when to unsafisfatoriness,
A lot of 'why-s' in my heart,
Complaining to my mom in front of Dewa,
I looked at the Dewa and seek forgiveness to him,
And continue complaining to my mom.
A little doubt in my mind,
Because of complaining and seeking forgiveness...
Such a thing...

We had unwelcomed guests,
They had arrived with an empty stomach,
Food is what they want,
We insist not to give them {monkeys},
And a minute later...
The dustbins when upside down,
Rubbish and shits are everywhere,
And accompany with madness too,
What to do?
Clean is the way...

A little smoother on day three,
Not because the situation go better,
But because we know how to handle the situation,
Complaining and gossiping become lesser,
And the unwelcome guest become welcome guests,
We serve food to them, and we hide the dustbins,

This time, we reserved more food for them {monkeys},
We served early before they come,
They are happy to see the food,
And eating alertly and happily...

The participant are enjoying watching them,
And create stories and crack jokes,
And I can feel both parties are enjoying the moment...

Time flies, and end has come,
Time to go back home,
Bad situation, but good experience,
I learn a lot and understand myself a little more,
And bring back good teaching with a tough one...

Seeking Support

Seeking support from friends and family is like having your people gathered around at your deathbed. It's nice, but when the ship sails, all they can do is stand on the dock waving goodbye.

~Steven Pressfield

Abundance is trouble making. Enough is just nice.

There are abundance air (oxygen) around us, but our breath can't take as many as possible for keeping for the future use. Everytime we breath in and out, remember sufficient amount is just nice. Abundance is trouble making.

Risk Training

Like an athlete who trains for game day, you need to train yourself to take a risk. You'll need practice, the right support, and a dose of courage.

We're not trained to take risk, but we are trained to hold meetings, stop talking when we're told to, and stay the course. We're told to look for security and to silence our creativity if it speaks too loudly. Initiative hides from cultures and companies that ask us to fit in.

Starting thrives on our ability to play, to humor ourselves, to look at things in a unique way. It's not easy, but that's why it's worth the trouble.
