Hey guys… How was your holiday? Did you guys have fun? I had a great holiday in Surabaya. Sleep, eat, eat, sleep, sleep, read, read, read, Texas hold ‘em… Hahaha. Hmm… i just wanna share to you that reading is very good, because by knowing a great story, it gets us inspired. I just finished read “Google Story” and Wow, it’s so great! What about your passion for knowledge? Start it today!

So, I did have discussion with Yan last week.. and I said, “Damn! Brin and Page are now #5 richest men in US soil, and they’re just 34. When I reach age of 34, can I be #5 richest men in Indonesia? okay..okay.. #5 in Surabaya?”
Then Yan shared to me a passage from “Google Story” :
“So optimism is important, you have to be a little silly about the goals you are going to set.. Having a healthy disregard for the impossible”
So let us all have an impossible dream, but believe that one day we can achieve it

Yeap agreed with Yan, you gotta read something inspiring. I myself like to read biographical and interviews, and if you don’t like books, try blogs or youtube or audio books.
Speaking of Google, damn those “b*st*rd”s got rich faster than Microsoft. What to learn from Google is they put quality over quantity. I believe that quality is something hard to catch up, and quality evolves you.
And about impossibility, I always like Adidas’ quote “Impossible is nothing”. I always think to myself, that we only lived for once, can’t each of us made something remarkable? If you make something possible become possible, well that’s it, but if you make impossible become possible, that’s another story.
