Let me tell you about my journal...

So before I even started this blog, I use to write journals. Not exactly everyday but yeah I do write them often. But recently I started focusing on this blog and started to forget about my journal. This night, right before I wrote this, I stumbled upon it (long story). So I decided to share it to you. What I'm gonna share with you right now is a Journal I made at December 4 2015. The title was "change". It was inspired by a Ted Talk delivered by Jules Evans entitled "How philosophy can save your life".

 So Today is the fourth day of the first semester's finals. It was Science and Sports Education today. Science is a big deal. And guess what? I'm rather pessimistic about my results on it. I definitely messed up a lot of answers. So, hey.. What the hell should I do? I'm basically fucked you know. But then I accidentally got to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuwYvFlNGns (it was a long story). It told me about how powerful philosophy was. It could basically get me out of anything. So, hey... I know what to do. I need to be a philosopher. I'm not saying I need to get a Doctoral degree soon. I need to be a philosopher in the simple way. Probably the simplest. And change.

Albert Ellis: The ABC Theory
  • A= Active events
  • B= Beliefs
  • C= Cognitive emotions

What we believe upon an event might not be the truth. And therefore the emotions that we experience might not be the truth either.

Epictetus: The Key to Resilience
This world is divided into two spheres. The first one is a sphere that contains things that we don't have full control of (the weather, other people, the government, economy) and the second one contains the things that we have full control of (Our beliefs). Emotional problems come from two mistakes: 1)Trying to force complete control on something in the first sphere, 2)Failing to take control of something on the second sphere.  

So that was that. If you're interested to see more then let me know and if you have a story of your own then be sure to link it to me. See ya...

Speech Script: Being an Introvert

Hey, Guys. I thought I'll share another speech script today. I used this script when I was competing in a competition held by a Senior High in Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Area. I got 1st in that competition so I think this one is pretty good. And I also wanna say that in this speech script I slipped in a little personal story of mine. So it's gonna be a little hard if you're going to copy it haha... So here you go. I’ve always felt that I’m different compared to most people. At least compared to most students in my school. On break time, they like to gather in groups and gossip about someone or chat about the current trends. I prefer not to. If I necessarily have to get involved in a group chat outside my class, I always try not to do the unnecessary. Not to talk too much. Some people say that I’m shy and weird. Some even say I’m arrogant and antisocial. The truth is, I’m an “introvert”. So ladies and gentlemen, the honourable judges, and my fellow competitors, this morn

Creating Contents and Getting it Out

Whether it's writing, typing, or making videos, getting stories out there into the public is a form of content creating. The stories in the form of words that you write or type and the videos that you film and produce will be seen by people and therefore your content would serve it's purpose. It could be an entertaining story, or something that has educational value, or anything. Content creating is very fun and it could "force" you to keep pushing your boundaries until you find new ones. Personally, I am a big fan of content creating. Youtube videos, blog writings, news, all that sort of stuff. I think it's one of the easiest ways of sharing positivity to other people around the world (although there are definitely pricks out there who uses this opportunity to spread negativity and fear). As long as you're contents are intended to affect people positively, content creating and content sharing would have so many benefits not only to the creator, but also to

My Not So Professional Take on Indonesia's Education System

    So recently I just had this little realisation. I was about to call it an epiphany but I thought using that word would be a dramatisation, so for the moment let's just call it a minor realisation. So I live in Indonesia which if you don't know already, is a developing country. We have so many things to be proud about like our astonishingly diverse culture and our unique culinary taste. But education isn't one of those things. Education is far from those things. Like our education sucks. I don't exactly know the reason to that. I mean I haven't done a research or anything but I might have some ideas and hypotheses to the situation. The human resource, the gap between islands Firstly, I think the problem comes from the not-so-advanced framework of the whole education system itself. Indonesia comes 4th globally in terms of population. There's about 250 million of us. And yet, our education system doesn't have enough human resource to support
