Wake Up Call

It’s been like forever I never update anything AT ALL to this blog
My life has changed in 22 October 2011.
Few weeks before 22 October 2011, I received a call from my sister from China. She was very panic and she said, “Ci (Elder Sister), I heard papa is sick right now. Have you heard anything from mama?” At that time I was on the way to my class and I felt very much VERY MUCH horrible when I received her call.
I said, “No, Mama didn’t tell me anything” she asked me to call Indonesia the soonest she hang up the call.
I called my mom and she tried to calm me down by saying “Your dad is okay, don’t worry.”
I felt quite LOST at that time. I felt so useless, so powerless until I saw a booth about business competition that organized by MoneyTree.
I came there and registered with no specific reason. Maybe it because the useless feeling that I felt after receiving the call until I was so blur and zombically walked to that shiny booth. @_@
 Around 19 October 2011, I received an email about a business seminar organized by Entrepreneurship and Investment Club on 22 October 2011. 
I knew nothing about this club; I had a football match I wanted to watch so I really can’t join the seminar. However, there is a little voice inside my heart, telling me that I should go.
 Until now I don't know how I actually gave up my football match to attend 3 hours seminar it's still ZOMBIcally follow my heart
It was the first time in my life
I came to a seminar I did not know anyone around there
I knew nothing about business
in short, I get away from my comfort zone.

Here's the interesting part
I met three incredible speaker. Mr Rajeet, Mr. Brandon and Miss Carol.
Mr Rajeet began his speech with a short real story
it's about team of researchers analyse the importance of having a goal
So they went to an university and gave ONLY ONE question to 100 students who will be graduating soon.

The question is:
What is your GOAL?

78% of them did not have any goal at all. They only want to enjoy a long holiday after being free from uni life.
19% of them have their goal in mind
and only 3% of them can write down their goal very specific

The researchers observe their life journey for 10 years

and this is a very interesting result

after 10 years, the 19% of the group who had goal in their mind earn income 2 times more than the 78% of the group who had no goal
3% of them who has their goal very specific earn 10 times more than the income of the 78% + 19% group

Honestly speaking,
at that time, I feel his speech about the importance of goal 
slap me really hard
cause I don't have goal.
If there is no people beside me and if the seminar only consist of me and the speaker
I will cry
I have a lot of things to cry about
For 19 years
I have been sleeping beautifully and peacefully
without asking myself
What do you want in life?

I feel I have died for so many years
I feel sorry to myself
It was a wake up call for me

The soonest I reach home I write my goals very specific
I will tell you one of my goals is to share everything that I know from the seminar
to those who are willing to learn and grow
together with me

finally I wake up and starting from that day
I occupied myself with a lot of seminars to know more about myself
which I am going to share with you

I make a promise to myself that I am going to lift people higher

I have achieved few goals I wrote 7 months ago
I feel so much joy in me now
cause I know what I want and how to achieve it

So I encourage you all to have goals in your life

Have a good day!
