Too Many *!@#$^& Friends!!!

Is it time to clean up your "Friends" list?

It was for me. I finally got to the point where Facebook was stopping me from "liking" any more pages, accepting any more friends. Basically, I was in social media jail! If you can't even join YOUR OWN new page, you've got too many connections! If were to Unlike my favorite page for any reason, I couldn't add it back. It was time for me to clean house. Maybe it is for you, too? Here's how I approached it!

The first thing I chose to do is eliminate business, ministry and "cause" pages so that I'm focused more on relating to actual people. You'll be surprised how many untended pages you might be connected to. Also, when you go through your list you'll see a lot of people have duplicate profiles. Housecleaning was much needed for me! I had sent Friend Requests to so many people with cute faces that I would never meet, wasn't interested in meeting and often didn't even speak English.

I went through a phase where I "friended" and accepted requests from almost ANYBODY. I guess I felt like I was getting my name out there. You may have done the same. The funny thing is this: my connections with real people have exploded over the last several days after doing a little bit of housecleaning. That means I was probably missing some real connections in the cluttler of my newsfeed and pages.

There are studies out there that say we can only truly manage 150 online relationships anyway. Therefore, the focus should be on building the best, most fruitful, most fulfilling 150 we can!! That's my new goal...wonderful relationships with more of the right people!

Blessings!

Walking Funny

I was out looking at real estate recently. The agent was walking me to look at condos but she had a funny way of walking. As I followed behind her, I found her extremely difficult to follow because she kind of stopped and started and even swung her legs in a way that it looked like she was about to change directions. To say it was frustrating would be an understatement!  I am a naturally fast walker. I almost ran over her at least twice!  She had said the unit was towards the back of the property but didn't tell me where. I wasn't sure where we were going or I might have gone ahead or walked in front.

Imagine trying to follow or even walk with someone when you aren't sure what direction they're going even moment to moment? I'm still mad thinking about it. I never called her back if I'm honest about it. I really don't want to deal with that stress.  Maybe I'm making too much of it, but you weren't there!

Anyway, here's the point to my true story: do the people around you - those relying upon you for direction - know what direction you're going?  Do you look like you're going one way and then swing back the other at the last second? Do people even know your intended destination?  If not, they might be feeling pretty frustrated right now. I'm sure they love you, so they aren't mad. They might even want to help you get there.  But they have a hard time when you're walking funny instead of walking straight.

Hidup Matiku

Aku tak bisa hidup tanpa handphone 

Dan dirimu, dan dirimu 

Aku tak bisa hidup tanpa twitter

Dan dirimu, dan dirimu 

Kau hidup dan matiku 

Kau hidup dan matiku 

Kau separuh nafasku 

Kau belahan jiwaku 

Aku tak bisa hidup tanpa handphone 

Hidup tanpa twitter, dan dirimu 

Kau hidup dan matiku 

Kau hidup dan matiku 

Kau separuh nafasku 

Kau belahan jiwaku 

Tahukah kamu aku bermimpi 

Bermimpi tentang kamu 

Mungkin karena aku terlalu 

Terlalu kangen kamu 

Kau hidup dan matiku 

Kau hidup dan matiku 

Kau separuh nafasku 

Kau belahan jiwaku

My Motivation

Here's part of my own motivation. I talk a lot about what I believe to be God's calling and imprint on our lives...mine included. However, let me live up to what I tweeted recently and be even more honest and transparent. I want my children to know me as a man who always did the most he could with what he had. I don't want them to feel like I wasted opportunity or money or life. Further, I want them to see me as a living example - an epistle, if you will - to which they can aspire.

I chose an entrepreneurial path because I wanted them to see that as an option for their own lives. That motivated me to launch out when my oldest daughter was around four years old. I didn't want my daughters to have any recollection of their father doing anything except diligently maximizing his time and opportunities - for better or worse. That's pretty much the bottom line.

Entrepreneurship isn't for everyone. Much of it may not be for me! Still, I never wanted them to know me as a man who gave up or settled. No settling! Not ever! I have often felt like I've failed my girls as a man and father. Perhaps other parents have felt the same way? It probably comes with the territory. I don't know. What I do know is I want them to know me as a man who gave all he had - every day.

That's my motivation.

Besok hari Rabu.

Besok hari Rabu, besok hari Rabu looohhh :3 *setel lagu Ayu Tingting* *eh*

Kenapa besok hari Rabu? Karena hari ini hari Selasa EEEEHHH maksudnya kenapa gue seneng besok hari Rabu? Bisa dicari di google ato yahoo.

Pokoknya besok hari Rabu. Titik. *dilempar nangka*

Di kelas #8A, hari Rabu tuh hari yang paling merdeka dalem seminggu.
Hari Rabu tuh pelajarannya cuma olahraga, SBK, pembuk, sama agama.

Guru olahraga sini mah orangnya sama kayak nama panggilannya, P.A (baca: pe'a)
P.A maksudnya Pak Andreas. Tapi kayaknya lebih pas kalo dipanggil pe'a, sih, baguslah.
Makanya gue ngiri setengah mampus sama anak kelas #8B yang punya wali kelas sedongo itu :'( enaknyaaah, #8A malah dapet P.Y (baca: peyek) Pak Yono :|

SBK... Gurunya emang gak sedongo P.A sih, tapi yaaah gitu dehhhh. Gitu, ya gitu. Wkwkwk -________- em emm emm cuma rese aja, tapi ya gituuuuuuhhh (⌣́_⌣̀)

Pembuk? Walaaah guru pembuk kami tercinta Bu Ning lagi sakit, udah berapa minggu ini gak masuk-masuk. Gws ya Bu Ninggg ;) eh eh Bu Ning bukannya yang nama warna itu ya? Ituloh warna buning? *KUNING!* *diseret kapolri setempat*

Agama... Ealaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. Guru sebodo amat ini mah. Maksudnya bukan gurunya yang sebodo amat sama muridnya, tapi muridnya yang sebodo amat sama gurunya. Ini guru beda tipis sama P.A. Sama-sama rada pe'a. Wkwkwk :p tapi sekalinya dia ngasih peer, udah kayak balas dendem sama kita semua x_x

Yaudahlah cukup segitu aja ya?
Gue nulis beginian juga cuma nambah-nambah posting, wkwk :p
