You Might Need Brand New Eyes

In this post I will complain about something... Because I am sort of good at it HAHA. (Okay, that capitalised laugh is a lame)

Okay, so have you ever argued with people who always thinks that they're always right without even giving the slightest assumption that the opposition maybe, just maybe, is in fact the right side? Those people deserve high-fives. In the face. With a chair. Twice. From Hulk. HAHA (I'm sure you've heard that joke before) (lame). But anyway, what I'm trying to say is that these people are really slowing down the advancement of the human race in a way. Why? Because I guess two of the things that a 21st century human must have is respect and an open-mind. If you don't have even one of these then by all means I have the right to call you an "utter prick" or a "douche" the Americans might say.

These people tend to think that no matter what, they're always right. And that is indeed stupid. You're lucky if this person that you happen to meet in your social-environment doesn't have power or some sort of "gravitas", to put it in a fancy way. But if he has that, then you might be fucked especially when you have to discuss a certain matter with him and you happen to oppose his views in that matter. I have experienced this. My school headmaster is, I would personally say, this type of person.

And so here comes the title of this blogpost. "You Might Need Brand New Eyes". I came up with this title because I remembered what Hayley Williams said when Paramore's "Brand New Eyes" album came out. She basically said that the album gives a message that sometimes you need to see things with a set of brand new eyes. Which in case you still don't get it, she meant a totally different perspective. That way you can respond to anything and everything in the fairest way possible. And that also means that the people that oppose you has the exact same chance to win an argument or to influence a decision-making meeting (that is, of course, not yet putting the views of both parties into calculation yet).

So if you happen to be one of these people, please don't neglect the fact you are and please stop being a prick to the human race. With lots of love, Fakhri.

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

Speech Script: Creativity, The Place Where Entrepreneurship Begins

So, hey guys! Today I thought that it's probably a good idea to share one of my speech scripts. This speech was made originally by me and was presented in the Sebelas Maret University for a speech competition held by SMU's English Student Association. On that occasion I got 3rd place and I was really happy about the script that I made. Anyway, I also want to say that the reason I shared this is because I wanted to help you guys who are trying to make a speech script. I don't want you guys to just copy this text, paste in Microsoft Word or something and print it because even though I wouldn't know, it's really easy for the judges (if you're going to participate in an English speech competition) to figure out whether the speech you're delivering is taken from the internet or not. I want you guys to be inspired and at least give you a little idea about what an ideal speech script looks like. However if you are still struggling then feel free to send me an e-ma
