A Milestone

We are not the people of tomorrow. We are the people of today. We decide tomorrow. We have a big dream. Too big to handle.

We divide the dream into milestones. We divide and conquer. Just like a functional programming thing, they divide the problem into sub problems. Then return the answer from sub problems. They were combined to provide a result. The result, thus, an answer for our big dream.

We are vastly superior than a machine. We have heuristic function on the each of the sub process. We evaluate the function and adjusting it into the demand.

Unfortunately, as we evaluate the function, which is our way to achieve dream. We often reallocate our objective, namely dream, into other sector. We often confused by the real dream and the thing we think we are supposed to achieve.

We waver at our big goal because of waves compromises. As we sail, we got stormy nights. Things that make our crews think that the captain is insane. Just like when Columbus started to be doubted by his crews in a journey to the end of the world.

Suddenly, we are at this port. Where people are fascinated by our being. Where people think highly of us. We can sell as high as we desire the goods. As a merchant, we are so good.

Then, we stop sailing and stayed.

...

Have we forgotten that the place was just a transit? A milestone is not the final destination. But, people quit their destination easily. Swayed by comfort zones. Until one day they realize, they were wrong and live with regret ever since.

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
