    Delivering Happiness karya Tony Hsieh: Saya akhirnya selesai juga membaca buku ini kamis lalu, di kala harus istirahat berhari-hari karena kesehatan saya sedang agak kurang baik namun mata saja tidak bisa terpejam. Jadinya baca buku saja deh agar waktunya tidak habis untuk melamun :) Pendapat saya mengenai buku ini: keren! sejak peluncurannya buku ini ramai sekali dibicarakan di kalangan tech startup. Setelah akhirnya berkesempatan membacanya, ya memang keren sih. Buku ini tidak seperti buku non fiksi bagaimana-cara-meraih-kesuksesan-bla-bla-bla. Buku ini lebih seperti cerita perjalanan…

  • Untuk Hari Esok Yang Lebih Baik

    29 Apr 2012 | 9:55 pm
    Seorang motivator dalam negeri pernah bilang: kalau mau punya hari esok yang lebih baik, kamu harus banyak-banyak investasi di area leher keatas.

Mau bukti? Beli jaket, sepatu, tas atau pakaian seharga Rp 300,000 mungkin rasanya relatif normal-normal saja. Bagaimana perasaan kamu jika membeli buku atau ikut seminar seharga Rp 300,000? Berapa…

    Sepengetahuan saya, balas dendam yang paling produktif dan efisien itu membuktikan bahwa kamu bisa bahagia / menjadi lebih baik tanpa orang yang sudah mengecewakan atau memperlakukan kamu secara tidak pantas. Buktikan kalau kamu bisa lebih bahagia atau lebih baik tanpanya. Buktikan bahwa mereka tidak berarti apa-apa. Prove them that you can be so much better person. Even without them. Itu saja cukup kok.

Since 2008, Indonesia has had a number of online music download stores.

Investments in (quite expensive) hosting and delivery systems were made, in an attempt to replicate what seemed to work overseas – the music download. Essentially, users will pay for…
