Yodster

Yes, this is another dating lesson.
It’s the result of my observation
and experiences of some friends
who shared me their case.

You’ve heard this:

Dogs are men’s best friends.

Let’s replace them with women.

In the game of dating, it’s the
men who start to throw frsibees.

Frisbees, are the attentions,
sweet-words, poetries, love-letters
and those silly stuffs that
she likes.

The game started as he choose
to play with a certain dog.
He throw the frisbees, near
and low… and the dog is able
to catch it and return it.

The game goes on and on…
And he will test this dog

"How fast she can react?
How long she can run?
How high she can jump?"

Translated version:
Did she know what am I doing?
And how far she will respond?
Is she smart enough?

If the man realize that she’s
just a stupid dog, then he
will move on.

If the dog is smart, he will
enjoy the game and the frisbees
will always in motion:

In his hand - Thrown - Caught
- Returned to his hand - …

And that’s the game!

Until the dog is tired….
This is where the game must stop,
bring her home, feed her and…

Most men never like to sleep
with a dog on the first day.
It takes time, from sleeping
outside, on the floor, on the couch,
on the room’s floor, under the bed,
and finally … they sleep together.

So does when he choose a woman,
he will avoid woman who is
‘too easy’ or suddenly jump
on his bed without being allowed.

Is she a dog or a bitch?
(bitch = female dog or the other meaning)

Dogs don’t follow a friend,
they follow a master, a leader.

So… you should balance your
love and discipline.

Don’t hit or spank! A dog can stand
receiving bad treatments as long
as its master still give food
and shelter.

But a lady, she can
put you in jail for
conducting domestic violence.

Think.. which dog is more loyal
to its master. The one chained
on its neck, or the one who
walk freely but never run too
far from its master?

Rather than making  your dog
loyal with "Chain of jealousy"
you should train her…

Cause if you rely on chain,
once released… the dog will
run away! And maybe will return
only for daily meal and a place
to sleep.

The younger the dog, it’s easier
to give her some important lessons.
Old dogs are usually lazy and
can’t learn new tricks or games.

As the dog-master, you should
always remember:

- Take her for afternoon walk
- Feed her with healthy food
- Give her a bath (together?)
- Train her to guard the house

Haha…

- Then, when you’re close enough
you can allow the dog to sleep
in your bed.

Always play the frisbees!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_dog

But the most important thing is
in the first days… if you’ve
been tired of throwing frisbees
and she’s not responding…

Then, it’s time to move on!
Get a new dog who can play
your game.

Understand her also, she might
be tired or need some privacy.
When she’s reluctant to play
the frisbees, maybe it’s time for
her to have meal… or some
moments to be alone.

Don’t punish her with stick or
any form of violence.

Be gentle and balance love
with discipline. Respect each other!

It’s better to let her walk away
freely and always return to you
rather than to chain her neck
with many "Terms and conditions"

Woof..woof…

Ah, the puppy is there!

Come here little one, let’s play
another frisbee game…

Tell me when you’re ready…

Como El Padre Ama Sus Niños
(Seperti bapak mencintai anak-anaknya)

Cinta adalah tema yang umum dibahas di berbagai media pada setiap Februari, sama seperti umumnya anggapan bahwa “Setiap ortu mencintai anak-anak mereka”. Seperti ditegaskan dalam Yohanes 1:12, bahwa setiap orang yang percaya diberikan status sebagai anak dari Bapa di surga, demikian pula Tuhan mengasihi setiap anak-anak-Nya.

Seperti lazimnya dalam sebuah keluarga yang punya beberapa anak, seorang bapak selalu berusaha menyayangi dan bersikap adil pada setiap anaknya. Bapak ini sadar betul ada perbedaan karakter dan pola pikir dari setiap anak yang terkadang lupa bahwa mereka semua adalah saudara.

Anak mami
Ada salah satu anaknya yang menganggap sang bapak sangat agung dan harus dihormati. Bapak ini dianggapnya selalu mengawasi setiap kesalahan, itu sebabnya si anak kadang merasa nggak enak saat memohon. Si anak sering meminta bantuan kepada sosok ibu, agar pesan dan permohonan disampaikan ke bapak, supaya nanti dikabulkan. Tentu saja, saat bapak mendengar permohonan anak melalui sang bunda, karena kebaikan hati si bapak dan menyadari yang diminta sesuai kebutuhan si anak, dikabulkanlah.

Anak kecil
Karakternya persis anak bungsu yang masih kecil. Merasa dirinya paling dekat dengan bapak, paling diperhatikan dan menganggap caranya meminta kepada bapak mereka adalah yang paling benar. Si anak ini bisa merengek, menjerit, menangis sesenggukan bahkan kadang sampai berjam-jam. Kadang si anak menambahkan dengan aksi mogok makan. Semua demi mendapatkan perhatian si bapak. Karena merasa tak tega melihat anak yang ini menangis, juga karena si bapak adalah sosok yang baik hati, dan permintaan si anak sesuai kehendak bapaknya, maka dikabulkan juga.

Anak Ja’im
Si anak ini merasa seperti sudah dewasa. Bertemu dengan bapaknya sendiri seperti berhadapan dengan Sultan yang duduk di atas singgasana, penuh rasa hormat dan formalitas “Karena dia adalah bapak saya, makanya saya harus meminta dengan sikap yang benar.” Begitu alasannya. Permohonan yang ia sampaikan hanya beberapa menit dengan penuturan yang sangat indah, setelah selesai iapun kembali melakukan tugas dan tanggung-jawab sebagai anak, karena dalam pikirannya “Saya harus membuat hati bapak senang dulu dengan melakukan pekerjaan di rumah, jika yang saya minta sesuai kehendak bapak, pasti bapak akan berikan.”

Anak bandel
Merasa kurang diperhatikan, si anak terkadang ingin bertindak sendiri sesuai apa yang ia mau. Kadang ia berani melawan nasehat dan larangan bapaknya, karena ia merasa hidup dikekang oleh semua peraturan si bapak. Anak ini lebih suka langsung bertindak dan malas untuk minta-minta ke bapak karena tidak sabar, lebih baik langsung action percuma kalau hanya ngomong ke bapak.

Apa masalahnya?
Dalam keluarga, kadang ada perselisihan. Bapak yang baik ingin tiap anaknya rukun dan bersatu walau masing-masing punya perbedaan dalam gaya meminta. Saudara si Anak mami menganggapnya aneh, karena kalo mau meminta, mengapa harus ke ibu dulu, lagipula bapak kan sudah ajarkan kalo minta langsung kepada bapak. Saudara si anak kecil kadang menyikapi sinis, mengapa harus ngambek dan meratap dulu, padahal tanpa bersikap seperti itu, bapak pasti juga dengar. Sedangkan saudara si Anak Jai’m juga heran, sama bapak sendiri tapi sikapnya formal sekali. Sedangkan terhadap si Anak bandel, semua saudara terkadang bersikap dingin dan menganggapnya seperti bukan saudara.

Apa kata Bapak?
Semua adalah anak-anak saya, semua saya perhatikan, semua saya dengarkan. Bahkan ketika ada anak tetangga meminta kepada saya, juga saya dengarkan. Ada juga keponakannya yang jika meminta menyebutnya “Om”, juga si Bapak mau terima. Bahkan ada anak-anak yang lebih suka disebut sebagai hamba dan memanggil “Tuan”, juga didengarkannya. Itulah Bapak yang baik, dia menganggap setiap pribadi adalah anak-anaknya sendiri. Masalahnya justru ada di tiap pribadi yang merasa seolah “Bapak/Tuan/Om ini hanya mendengarkan permohonanku dengan cara yang aku yakini sebagai yang paling benar dan paling berkenan.”

Outtabox thought
Ada orang-orang yang merasa paling dekat dengan Tuhan, menganggap Sang Pencipta sebagai Bapa. Di antara orang-orang ini terkadang ada perbedaan persepsi mengenai cara berdoa. Ironisnya di antara mereka yang mengaku sebagai saudara seiman, mereka saling merasa dirinya paling benar. Padahal Tuhan berjanji bahwa doa yang dikabulkan adalah yang sesuai kehendaknya, seperti diajarkan Yesus “Bapa kami yang di sorga, Dikuduskanlah nama-Mu, datanglah Kerajaan-Mu, jadilah kehendak-Mu di bumi seperti di sorga.”

Karena Bapa mengetahui kebutuhan setiap anak, Dia tidak memberi batu pada yang minta roti. Hati Bapa tersentuh saat melihat kesungguhan si anak saat berdoa, juga Bapa menghendaki agar anak-anak tak hanya bisa meminta, namun memiliki iman yang diikuti dengan perbuatan, bersikap akrab namun tetap hormat, mematuhi aturan karena itu semua demi kebaikan sang anak.

Juga seperti Bapa menyayangi para anak, Ia ingin agar semua saling mengasihi dan memperlakukan satu sama lain sebagai saudara, tanpa perlu saling sinis atau menganggap “Sayalah yang paling benar dan paling dekat dengan Bapa.” Karena kita semua bersaudara dan punya Bapa yang sama.

Untuk bulletin edisi Februari, udah terbit duluan di sini…

What you’re about to read will shock you.
Yes! you will soon find out about some
secrets.. well, soon it’s no longer secret.

These are all about men and women,
an interesting theme as always.
A new friend inspired me to write this.
We’ve discussed a lot and surely
you wanna know what I’ve shared with the lady.

She added me as friend, after seeing my
poetry (GREAT LIFE) and thus from there
we started … ah! Cut this, let’s get
into the article, please…

* Phases in male’s life

From a boy, to a guy, then a man, then
back to act like a guy then a boy again.

That’s what men do!

They grow up until 10, as boys.
They do whatever they WANT.

From 11 to 20, they’re guys
and do will do what they CAN.

From 21 to 40, they’re soon or
later will grow-up as men.
This is when they do what they MUST DO.

This is the phase of responsibility.
It begins since the pregnancy (of his wife),
where he will change to be more calm
and considerate.

Once he’s craved with adult magazines,
then soon he’ll leave those as he can
see his wife daily. Then he’ll search
books and magazine about parenting,
besides finance and some hobbies.

Once his brain was in the middle of his
thighs, then he will learn to control
his lust and can really think with his head.
Yes.. it’s the upper head!

Once his attitude was childish, now he
must be a role model for his juniors.

BUT… soon as their kids are teens,
they may also follow the puberty, yeah…
the second one for him.

And when the teens are growing and leaving the

house, he may return into a boy again, trying new

toys and eat new snacks never existed when he was

once a boy or visiting amusement centre…
with grand-children.

* Main differences

Remember a quote once said:

The age of a woman is measured from her face and her

dressings.

The age of a man is measured from his thoughts,
attitude and behaviour.

Men, their life phase is like a curve.
There will be a turning point!

Women are always growing.. older.
But the main difference in the attitude,
contrast with men, is on the attitude
towards competition.

For women, to win means to make everybody happy.
When she has an achievement, it is to make
her family proud.

For men, to win means to defeat others and
they place the relationship at next priority.
"I win, and you lose! Haha… that’s it!"

* Job application

Now, two analogies.. when he’s looking for
a woman.. what is it that he really want?

It’s like a company looking for an employee.

Some prefer fresh-graduate (younger girl),
some want experienced (mature lady).

The initial screening is by looking
at the photo (face and appearance),
then he will learn her profile.

The 1st interview is the 1st date.
This is where 1st impression very important.

Failed to impress him, then there will never
be a second date / interview.

The second interview is to negotiate salary
and giving job descriptions (measuring and
comparing between ‘dating budget’ and the
expectation from a girlfriend)

Then the first three months is crucial
as trial period. It’s all about adjustment!
If this phase is done, then contract will be
signed (from dating into relationship)

The first two years are the moments where
employee (the girl) evaluate his boss.
There may be another offer, a higher salary
(a richer guy) or a better facility.

If she felt the employer isn’t promising,
she will resign and find a better job.

But if both are satisfied, the status will
raised into partnership (marriage) and many
more duties for her. She will be functioned as:

- Personal counsellor
- Chef
- Masseur
- Finance controller
- Baby-sitter
- Private tutor
- And in the day of retirement… as nurse!

* Advertising

The second analogy, a guy looks out for a girl,
is like a company promoting a product.

He must advertise, try to seek attention,
sending love letters, romantic SMS, poetry, etc.

The prospective buyers will compare, which
product is best. She must be selective with
all the ad:

- Is the quality of the product as good as
the promise in the ad?

- Is he really serious and responsible or
just a charmer and flirt-master?

If she’s interested, she will buy
(Agree to go on a first date, that is
first purchase)

If she’s satisfied then she will buy more
but unlike customers, she.. of course, won’t
tell her friends to try to date him.

There! Customer loyalty, it’s the same
concept. If a guy cannot maintain his quality,
his customer (girlfriend) may look elsewhere.

There are competitors! Some offer cheaper price,
some promise to have more benefits. But when
the loyalty is settled, don’t worry.. she will
be your customer forever!

But unlike in retails, you are NOT trying
to have as many customers as you like!
Unless you’re agree with polygamy, of course…

So guys.. be balance!

Even if you’re really good inside-out, but
you never advertise, no girls will know!

The same thing in industry, no matter how
fine your product, but they never seen the ad,
then who would know?

But if you advertise too much and without
improving your own quality, then it’s same as
just an empty promise.

Girls will notice you… but then…
you’ll have a stamp on your forehead,
given by them. What word you want?

* Nasty shield

Some girls are nice, and I mean more than
ordinary. Have both brain and charm!
Also an achiever… wowww!!

Many guys try to hit and pick her.
And many fail! She’s too hard… too far
beyond reach and simply… too cold!

It’s her nasty shield!

Why? Imagine, you’re walking everywhere.
Many eyes are like spotlights all around
you, from head to toe… some eyes got stuck
in the middle to those who have extra size!

Many admire you and many always wanna try
to get to know you. Then you always try to
be nice to every guys, and make them think
that you’re giving them a chance.

Subconsciously, you then will develop
a "formal and serious mode" whenever you
feel a signal "Oh ow.. here comes another
admirer, trying to flirt me."

Then, soon, the pretty lady will become
a bit nasty and grumpy. She won’t be nice
to every guy. Just to protect herself from
being approached all the time.

It’s not her fault for being such a sun
among sunflowers!

But the guys, they follow her everywhere,
throwing jackets whenever she steps in,
open the door for her, buy her gifts and
flowers.

But… it’s all useless!

She’s not interested with all too much
attention. They try to get her without
attempting to build a chemistry at the
first steps.

And… many guys are too afraid to give a shot
on this "A-grade and five star quality" lady.

It makes her annoyed to see those silly faces
waiting on the line, just to be the next
hero for her. Ouch!

What… yeah what would be the solution?
I mean, to break her "nasty-shield" and
in the end win her heart

- Be cool!
Treat her as if you’re not stunned by her charm

- Don’t praise her too much
She had heard "you’re so… " hundred times
from many guys, probably. You will only
be adding her statistic. Give compliment
occasionally, on the right moment.

- Equal
Make yourself level with her. If she’s smart,
be smarter than her, but let her always think
that she is smarter.

- Walk beside her NOT under her feet
Yeah.. you’re not a red carpet for the
home-coming queen. Do not worship her,
just treat her as a friend.

- Build before buy
Build the chemistry first, then you may
afterward buy her gifts. Do not bribe or
trying to make her love you by money or
anything you afford to buy. Without the
feeling, you will only receive a quick,
polite and formal "Oh, thank you…"
whenever you send her anything.

- Lead her
Don’t be indecisive by asking too much
of her opinion. Dare to challenge her ideas
and surely never ask "Where are we going?"

Set up a plan first before you date her.
Then on the next occasion, let her decide
and you just follow.

Have a purpose and sense of direction.

Make your own life, don’t always ask her advice.
She may be smarter, but never make yourself
act like a strayed stranger all the time.

* Which would you choose?

Many guys I know, they said girls can be divided
into two categories

- Junk food OR
delicious and healthy cooked meal?

- An eye-candy OR
a lady?

And for girls…

- A bad-boy OR
a nice guy?

Remember the rat in Ratatouille, he want to be
a chef, to create delicious meal.

"Don’t eat garbage food!"

Fast-food is simple, cheaper, can be bought
in many places. When we buy the burger in many

cities, all tasted the same!

But it’s not good for health!

Cooked meal must be prepared, not with a simple
process. Not with machine, but hand-made.
It’s more expensive but it’s more delicious
and good for health!

Eye-candy are those who dressed-up too much,
or too few in clothing.

It’s good only for seeing, but
not worth keeping. They’re only good for
decorations in magazine’s pages, on-stage or
in parties, but … can they be a good mother?

Surely it’s a risk for your baby if she’s
a chain-smoker and addicted to booze.

The same thing is to guys. Do you want a
speedy street-racer or a calm gentleman to drive
for you and your kids?

That’s it for today… wait for my next articles.

There! Now, all secrets are revealed…

Quick, tell this page to your friends…
let them learn something new here.

Nel sogno che avevo
Tutto sempre perfetto
Nella realta viver’ devo
Con i giorni che passato

Nella speranza che ho
Tutto sempre meraviglioso
Nel tempo che sento
Con i cuori che lo so

Faccia la vita nostra
Come sfida e viaggio
Poi l’amore c’è ne tra
E lezioni ci fa saggio

Faccia la vita oramai
Come ieri non c’è più
Poi domani c’è ne sai
E cambia con il su e giù

Perche non sola mai saraì
Poi cammini sempre con me
Si, qualunque faraì
Sempre siamo insieme

Perche non ti scordero
Poi le mani ci stringiamo
Si, ovunque t’amero
Sempre e poi, ti amo

The star shines bright
And heaven’s gate is opening
To shine the darkest night
With wings spread, angels shining

The songs once chanted
And the choir is encoring
To Him the praises granted
With hearts opened, He’s entering

Born today
And He will grow
To lead the way
So we shall know

Born tonight
And He is king
To reign with might
So give Him offering

The hope is near
God with us once more
To release us from fear
Come us tonight, adore

The joy on earth
God calls us to free
To welcome His brith
Come us tonight, to see

Through the ages, passing
And celebrations each year
It is a moment you’ll be missing
A day to bring us near

Through the places, spoken
And be written on card with heart
It is a moment where hands shaken
A day to unite all once apart

Merry Christmas!

Truth or lie?

As a person, law practitioners or any profession, it is important for us to recognize others. First impression and content of speech can be created, but are all of these trustworthy? Here are some indicators to determine whether the person you’re talking to is faking or telling the truth.

1.    Eyes

Liars usually avoid eye contact or on the contrary give intense stare and tend to be excessive, as if challenging and saying “I am honest…” While talking, the eyeball movement is random, blink a lot or often close the eyes.

2.    Hands

While lying, usually the natural reaction of the hands are moving to cover mouth or nose, scratching body or nervously playing the pen, tearing tissue or any activity to distract nervousness and uncomfortable feeling. On the extreme contrast, hands becoming very stiff and “sit graciously” folded like kindergarten students, or hid under the table or at the back.

3.    Lips

Appeared to smile but the whole face and gestures are not synchronized. Forced smile usually lasts so rapid then the face will return to “serious mode”. Genuine smile occurs like blossoming flower, slowly, lips opened and not only impacting the lips, but also the facial muscles around cheeks, nose and eyes. That’s what makes the difference between a genuine smile from a friend and a formal smile of shop attendant.

4.    Voice

Drastic change is there, from fluently speaking to suddenly stuttered, or voice becoming husky, vibrated or decreasing volume. It can also be the contrary, speak fast, changing accent or followed by chuckling, coughing or begins with “Ummm”

5.    Breath

The tension while lying will trigger the heart beat which can be detected with lie detector machine. But without the instrument, it can also be detected through excessive sighs. Sound as if so tired, while indeed haven’t done any tiring activity.

6.    Gesture

In general, liars will look clumsy. Conversation while be escorted with excessive expression such as raising eyebrows, rubbing palm, clapping, tapping elbow or the shoulder of whom he/she is talking to, in myriad or clumsily to show impression as if nothing happen. Or the contrary, by turning face away, shook head or raising shoulder.

7.    Content

Usually liars don’t like to be questioned in details. Or the contrary, without being asked to explain, directly giving specific information which seems has been prepared. Conversation felt as people who memorize dialogue from a script. Test it also, by wrapping questions with different wordings, or asking the same question in different range of time to test the consistency of answer

Other lying indicators

1.    Unsynchronized or delayed emotion

Example:

“Wow, thanks! I am glad to hear it,” Said by someone with plain intonation and little expression. Few seconds later, then smile given quickly, with a glance of eye contact, head moves slowly as if reluctant to look, lips are closing and conversation ended.

2.    Pause, confusion, excessive details, using the truth is.. Honestly…

Example:

“So.. it is… at the time, mmmm… around two o’clock and I was there, honestly I was just passing by. The house is already opened from the outside, and the stuffs are all in mess. A television is gone, 21 inch, Sini brand, it was bought no more than a year ago, I remember, the truth is, yes true.. and the TV was here.”

3.    Sarcastic humor or comment

Example:

“Damn! It is impossible, am I so stupid to do such a thing?!”

4.    Quickly change topic

While you’re asking as interrogator and finding lie indicators, try to change the topic of conversation. Usually liars while seen more relax and showing opposite reactions of the lie indicators when topic has changed. Then afterward, try to return to the initial topic.

5.    Eyeball movement

There’s a saying: Eyes cannot lie. While talking, eyeballs movement explain mental process happening in someone’s brain.

Moving upward                                     : Imagining something (Visual)

Moving laterally                                     : Imagining voice or sound (Audio)

Moving downward                               : Remember something, feeling or situation (Memory)

Further more, the right and left movement has more specific meaning (for left handed, the right and left are reversed)

http://www.blifaloo.com/info/lies_eyes.php

Up-Right (Vr)                            : Visual remembered, something remembered by sight

Up-Left (Vc)                             : Visual constructed, something imagined by sight

Center-Right (Ar)                      : Auditory remembered, remembered voice

Center-Left (Ac)                       : Auditory constructed, imagined voice

Down-Right (Ai)                        : Internal dialog, talking to him/herself

Down-Left (F)                           : Feeling, remembering a feeling or situation

When someone asked “With who were you yesterday?”

·         Honest reaction is talking with eyeballs moving to Down-Left, remembering something that has happened

·         Lie reaction is talking with eyeballs moving to Up-Left, imagining something which never happened

All that you’ve just learned are just indicators. What we must have is the mindset in general and not merely remembering symptoms. Indeed these indicators cannot be valid evidence to decide that someone is guilty or not. But at least, this basic knowledge can be a guideline while doing interrogation or asking information from eye-witness.

When life goes nowhere
And your step is uncertainty
It’s not others who start to care
To give your path a clarity

When life makes you stuck
And your journey is a dead end
It’s not others who turn your luck
To give your broken ways a mend

Today is coming
Make your own decision
Stop to complain or blaming
Set your aim with precision

Today is to view
Make your own opportunity
Stop to seek chances few
Set your own with quality

As desperation gone
Prepare the new mission
Ask for help, do not alone
Let it be run with tunnel vision

As the end of a battle
Prepare the new conquest
Ask for more, do not settle
Let it be done with style as best

Always learn something new
And have a heart willing to try
Sempre devi chiedere più
E migliore tutto darai

Always have faith wher’ver you go
And give your thanks when’ver you pray
Sempre pensi essere meglio
E perfezione come non c’è

I’ve watched L’ultimo bacio twice.
Once in 2003 and last week.

It’s about five guys and the problems
of being young adult.

One is getting married. (Marco)

One is a chronic player, never to have
a steady relationship. (Alberto)

One is a hopeless romantic, still unable
to move on from his ex-girlfriend. (Paolo)

One is already married, and having
a baby. And stressed! (Adriano)

The main character, Carlo, is having
his lady pregnant, and are planning
a marriage. But he was tempted for
a fling with a teenage girl.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0265930/

Bored Adriano decided to leave his
family, tired of responsibility.

Alberto, still live a life of
adventure, with many girls.

Paolo, who then his father died,
also went with Alberto and Adriano
on a wild adventure.

Just to seek pleasure and purpose in life.

Only Marco who has a steady life.

While Carlo, he must choose…

To be with the new girlfriend,
young Francesca.

Or be a family man, marry Giulia
and…

Sorry, must watch yourself to know
how the story ended.

***

It’s all about being a grown-up.

To choose this or that one as
a life-time spouse.

Yes, there will be period of boredom
after some attractions.

Also burden and responsibility as
a couple who will soon or later have
a baby. Sleepless nights await!

The common problems also there,
parents getting old, sick, dying
until finally their names are history.

This is when you must choose…

To be ‘crazy’ or ‘go crazy’ with your
‘not yet mature’ pals

OR…

To learn to take the burden and
be bored with routine and responsibility.

That’s life, all we must make decision
and priority.

***

The point is, you’re asking?

Some people lose their sense of purpose
in life. Okay, let’s use simple phrases.

They’re lack of understanding on how
to answer two questions:

- What to do now?

- What’s next?

Planning, you said. That’s good, then you
can stop reading. Go back to your photo
gallery and fill more to satisfy your
narcissism.

Or, just read through…

Or, maybe we should all think once again.

Yes, those two questions, have you got
the answers?

Some people like life in order, everything
is so well-planned.

But some people got stuck in midway, or else
they’ve decided to live life as it is,
just see what’s coming… have fun, go anywhere
heart tells, do whatever pleases, don’t care
about anything else.

Until when?

That’s what adulthood is, you’ll have to answer it
yourself.

***

What’s my story?

Continue reading, if you’re still interested.

I’m having my crisis of those two questions,
related to job and my own pursuit in life.

A new job after this one?
Going for a master degree?
Or finish italian courses?
Then to apply scholarship?

Those are my questions…

What’s yours?

Having questions is good, only if you
can think the answer. Or at least you try
to find where answers can be found.

I’m stucked with computer games.

It’s fun, addictive and gives pleasure…

Let’s say, as a fictional character where
you are needed and able to be a hero
in a fancy world.

Or able to solve puzzles…

Or create a super-team of football, as a
manager who win many awards and trophies.

You can be anything in the world of game.

Also I’m stucked with reading.

I enjoy it, but it makes me felt:

- An author already write about it

- Why didn’t I think about it before?

- I can use this as a source.

- The idea is great, but need to be applied.

And… when do i start writing?
Hmmm, when is that ‘one day’ actually?
Or… when is the right moment to begin?
Wait, the mood isn’t good…

Those are my excuses, now you know…

I already knew of what to do now and next.

Most problems come from imbalance.

People got sick, companies got bankrupt,
a relationship broken, anything…

All are caused of one thing: imbalance!

And the imbalance we often have are these:

To act without plan.

OR…

To plan without act.

Or combined it with these:

- There are OR there aren’t yet any resources
- plenty OR lack of creativity
- high OR low enthusiasm or motivation

So.. do you have all complete?

Plan… resources… creativity… willingness

Then… act until the target is fulfilled.

Ah! What am I talking?
I’m not even finished with my own.
It will never be done unless I stop it here
and let you think for a while…

Still remember the two questions?
And.. the answers?

Riscrivevo molto qui
Per un’altra volta poi
Penso passano i giorni
Che camminano tra noi

Ritrovo sono poeta
Per un’altro tempo qua
Parlo buono can carita
Che sempre circa Gabriella

Ora che sappiamo noi
Con venti anni allora hai
Benedizioni sempre tuoi
E seguono ovunque vai

Ora che buon amici noi
Con preghiera di speranza
Emozioni avremo poi
E sempre tua la bellezza

Buon Compleanno!

I wrote again here
For another time
With days to be near
Along with poetic rhyme

I found myself again
For another exquisite moment
With her as my refrain
Along with words of adornment

Today we know
You are becoming twenty
And blessings shall flow
Then with you always be

Today we are
You are be prayed as before
And beauty isn’t far
Then with this I write you more

Happy Birthday!
