Big Difference
The Boss drives his men, The Leader inspires them..
The Boss depends on authority, The Leader depends on goodwill..
The Boss evokes fear, The Leader radiates love..
The Boss says “I”, The Leader says “We”..
The Boss shows who is wrong, The Leader shows what is wrong..
The Boss knows how it is done, The Leader knows how to do it..
The Boss demands respect, The Leader commands respect..

Quotes about Love
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn’t it?
It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up.
You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life.
You give them a piece of you. They don’t ask for it.
They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore.
Love takes hostages. It gets inside you.
It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like ‘Maybe we should just be friends’ or ‘How very perceptive’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart.
It hurts.
Not just in the imagination.
Not just in the mind.
It’s a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love.
I hate love.

hahah.. so crushing..
Don’t wanna sleep, Don’t wanna die, just wanna go a travelin’ through the pastures of the sky
Plato, seorang filsuf besar pernah bilang bahwa nantinya dalam kehidupannya, setiap manusia akan terjebak dalam sebuah gua gelap yang disebut keteraturan, kemapanan, dan mereka senang berada di dalamnya.
Mereka terbuai dengan segala kesenangan yang ada disana dengan apa yang telah mereka capai, hingga akhirnya mereka takut keluar dari gua tersebut.
Mereka memang bahagia tapi diri mereka kosong dan mereka nggak pernah menemukan siapa diri mereka sebenarnya.. Mereka jadi tak punya mimpi karena terbuai oleh kesenangan saat ini dan tak mau keluar..
Well, semua itu pernah terjadi padaku.. Aku hidup tapi tak benar-benar hidup.. Aku takut keluar dari situasi dan kondisi yang membuatku nyaman.. Kadang-kadang timbul rasa takut untuk keluar dari “comfort zone-ku”.. Ketika aku mencoba dan mencoba lagi.. berusaha keluar dari comfort zone dan melihat dunia luar diluar lingkaran comfort zone-ku.. I’m surprised with what I’ve got and found more special things inside my self.. It’s kind of my thrill and bring me to the point where I get to know my self more.. It broaden my perspectives about anything..
I feel alive!! Bener-bener hidup dan tak sekedar pura-pura hidup atau pura-pura menikmati hidup.. Aku merasakan nyatanya kehidupan nyata.. Dan aku tak takut lagi menemui hal-hal baru dan aneh di luar sana.. Aku tak takut lagi hidup sendiri.. Aku tak lagi mencari kepada siapakah dan kepada apakah hidupku ini harus digantungkan.. Karena sekarang aku yakin bahwa aku bisa menggantungkan hidupku pada diriku sendiri..
Reading “The Apple Way”
I spend some times a day to read a book. And currently I read “The Apple Way”. It is quite inspiring and give me more wide perspective about Apple as a company. To be like now, Apple was passing through a very long journey. There were failed experiences till success story..
Well, one thing that I learn from that book is never give up to achieve our dreams.
Never be afraid on doing a mistake because doing mistakes can be our success way if we can learn from our mistakes and be innovative with it.
Reading this book is a must to do for me since I’m working in one of Apple Premium Reseller in Indonesia. The history of Apple give me more understanding about the Apple culture and influence me on how I should behave to be a good brand ambassador of Apple.
One last thing to say.. Keep Tjia You for my self and Good luck for Apple! More day I can see my self more fall in love with Apple’s products.. Whew!
