fighting the stillness

most of us, i think have ever experienced the day with nothing to do, with no friends arround us, with no assignment, with no plan, with no nothing.

thats what actually happens to me right away. tomorrow i have to go back to kalimantan for work. as i work as an engineer in oil and gas exploration, so i have to spent next few weeks, floating on sea, in the middle of nowhere. but look at me now, no friend to talk here, no place to visit here, sad thing is that this thing happened on my off (vacation) schedule.

we have different work schedule from common people. usually people do work from monday till friday, and have a nice weekend at saturday and sunday, and than again start to “i hate monday”. But people that assigned to work in field (oil and gas exploration for instance) will have their schedule a month work and a month vacation (the schedule may vary, according to the company, but the pattern would be the same).

Here it is. when we work we will no meet our old friends, always have a busy damn underpressure job, and u have to fight stillness by enjoying ur self looking at sunset or sunrise from the helipad.

and also here it is, when we have our off schedule, we can no longer chatt and play with our old friends as they have to work, they do work, this is not sunday or saturday isnt it????

and what about our vacation while it saturday or sunday? our friend would be spent their time with new friend from their office, their co worker.

thats what i am trying to say with fight the stillness.

but not to meant as coward who hide behind a stone, below the sadow, and crying whole day. Thats what wise man said as everyone must have their own life, and happiness indeed comes from our self, not from other, nor from the environment.

so how to fight the stillness?? thank God for ur day today, and keep doing ur life as what u can do. never ever regret it.

in what language you think?

that is not easy, for someone whose his mother language is not english and just learnt english for few months to try to write down his taught and spread to the world what he thinks, using english.

 

I have been thinking for so long, either I want to try to write in english or not? And just a few days ago I decided that I have to break my own limit. One of the biggest limit for all humans is fear. Fear of fail.

 

In according to break my own limit I wrote.

 

Okay… let start this not so interesting article by questioning “in what language we think?”

 

I often think, when I was trying to improve my english, I am –somehow- try to think in english, I meant I was thinking using english as the language to talk to my self, and I am somehow feell  difficult. I was thinking slower, and unfocus……. Hence I was tried to change the way I think, I was trying to think in indonesian language first, and then translate it into english, much better, but sure it takes time longer than directly thinking in english.

 

But the question is… have you ever realize, when u are mastering more than one language, or let say you are so often migrate from one place to another, and all those places has their own language or at least their own characteristic of language even the language are same, you will slowly but sure change your way of think became the language you are in now.

 

In what language you think??
