“I could’ve spent more time worshipping You…”

By Hendy Irawan on August 29, 2008

Ya Allah...

SacredLearning.org is an Islamic web site Parama Danoesubroto recently shared with me which, among other useful materials, contains general talks by Shaykh Husain Abdul Sattar (as freely downloadable audios).

Parama initially made me interested with a talk titled “Wisdom of Wealth” which is excellent.

I begin to listen to the other talks. Actually I dutifully enjoy his talks that my laptop is continuously downloading all of the rest of the talks (including the right-on-time Ramadan classroom) using my trusty DownThemAll. ;-)

And then I struck gold, in Muraqabah – Step by Step Approach:

Top 9 Habits of Highly Successful Entrepreneurs

By Hendy Irawan on August 15, 2008

Princess Kirsi

Parama W. Danoesubroto, a friend of mine, recently shared a bit of his vast business-savviness. It’s great enough that I’d like to share it here, both with my future self and with you the cool person (yes! YOU) who read this blog. Extra-gladly he’s willing to license his ideas as Creative Commons (oh so geeky!).

So, from this point below it’ll be his words, not mine:

Here’s what I’ve learned if I wanted to keep on continuing to be an entrepreneur.

These are just my values that I keep for myself. This might not apply or be true to other people.

“Selling” for 0% Profit!

By Hendy Irawan on December 17, 2007

 “Selling” for 0% Profit!
Today I just found one way (though not so “good idea”) to have a 45-day loan with 0% interest……!

I got approx 800,000 rupiahs today, cash, in less than an hour, that I can return around end January.. it was very easy.

I was shopping with my friends (actually my Entreprenur University Kediri classmates), at Gramedia book store. I’m not really sure if I want to buy a book, but seeing my friends take up a few books, I decided to buy a book and ask them, “hey, why dont you help me. what if you pay to me, and I’ll pay all of our books using my BCA credit Card?” In short, he said alright. And I start “marketing” my scheme to the other friends. So they joined.

Start A Meme: Kill The Internet?

The Sad Bear 1, by Nedroid

7 Reasons the 21st Century is Making You Miserable

It turns out humans are social animals after all. And that ability to suffer fools, to tolerate annoyance, that’s literally the one single thing that allows you to function in a world populated by other people who aren’t you. Otherwise, you turn emo. Science has proven it.

 Bye Bye Dear Ex Love.

Sometimes I just need to signify that what I decided,
has been decided.

that me and my ex-girlfriend has broken up
.


Farewell. And I’ll let myself continue my journey…

 Bye Bye Dear Ex Love.

The Human Heart, So Many Things to Learn About

By Hendy Irawan on August 9, 2007

Hedonism

there are so many things I need to learn ………!!

wow, I can’t believe it.

waktu saya masih SMA, saya pikir saya cuma akan cukup dengan belajar teknologi komputer

waktu saya menjelang lulus SMA sampai kuliah, saya pikir saya sangat membutuhkan persahabatan, bidang psikologi, dan hal2 yang berhubungan dengan hubungan manusia JUGA, di samping komputer

koma……

untuk sekian lamanya, hanya itu yang ada dalam pikiran saya

entah kenapa, lama2 saya menjadi *diperlukan*… dalam artian bahwa diperlukan itu tidak 100% murni keinginan saya, untuk mempelajari hal-hal lain.

Emosional

By Hendy Irawan on August 8, 2007

Emosi merupakan sifat bawaan manusia. James Gwee, motivator bisnis ternama dari Singapura, mengatakan:

Customer yang sedang emosi tidak akan bisa menerima penyelesaian masalah.

Singkatnya, dalam keadaan emosi manusia tidak bisa berpikir dengan jernih. Hal ini terjadi baik pada laki-laki dan terutama perempuan.

Teman-teman saya sering tidak percaya bahwa saya berusaha untuk bersikap berbalik dengan mood saya saat itu. Saya sendiri dalam menilai orang, berusaha memperhatikan mood orang tersebut, dan bukan hanya sikapnya.

Ada prinsip mendasar dari “keanehan” tersebut.

James Gwee, lagi-lagi pernah mengatakan dalam sebuah seminar bisnisnya:

Dragon Fruit aka Buah Naga: The Bad Cholesterol Killer

By Hendy Irawan on August 1, 2007

394770716 ec6fd1eff6 Dragon Fruit aka Buah Naga: The Bad Cholesterol Killer

Baru tau kalo ternyata buah naga itu “selain dikenal sebagai alternatif dalam menyembuhkan berbagai macam penyakit, juga bisa diolah menjadi berbagai macam makanan yang lezat, yakni dari mulai sup sampe puding.”

Tentu saja, gw sendiri juga baru tau kalo ada buah yang namanya buah naga.

Berdasarkan informasi sang penulis, cara makan buah naga yang paling uenakk yaitu “dicampur kedalam salad buah, dicampur sama potongan melon, nanas (my fave), jagung, potongan telur, siram dengan Thousand Islands dan Mayo”. Boleh juga ya! Ada yang sudah mengkonfirmasikan ketersediaan menu ini di salad house favorit Anda? :-)

I Love Satan! ^)^

By Hendy Irawan on July 24, 2007

289598044 03920e8f3a I Love Satan! ^)^

Menonton film The Secret secara “tidak sengaja” memberikan aku inspirasi baru dalam hidup. Keesokan harinya secara “tidak sengaja juga” mendengarkan berapa lagu terutama punya Samsons, semakin membuka pemahaman liarku tentang peran kejahatan, keburukan, dan keterpurukan dalam hidup manusia di dunia ini…

Lho, apa hubungannya?

Makanya, sabar dulu atuh…

Duplikasi warning sebelumnya: Posting ini mempunyai muatan filosofis yang lebih padat daripada posting harian gw. Dan warning yang lebih lagi adalah, gw jarang banget, ato bahkan mungkin belum pernah, menemukan orang yang bisa “mengepaskan” pemikiran gw dalam kerangka berpikir orang tersebut. Either you’ll be surprised, you’ll think I’m crazy, you’ll reject me outright because of my baseless interpretation, or you’ll simply have to break your old and dusty and inflexibly restrictive frame of reference first.

Oke deh, kali ini gw harus angkat topi…..

Artikel si JiE ini, yang terinspirasi dari artikel LifeReboot, memang The Hallelujah Article for Computer Geeks !!! :-)

Hurray!

Dari semuanya, yang paling ada di semua pekerjaan –dan nggak cuma IT, sebenernya– adalah: (dikutip dari JiE’s)

~ Reason #10 – Most Of Your Accomplishments Are Invisible
User / client gak akan bilang ke gw : “Jie, program kamu bagus banget.
Produktifitas kerja meningkat drastis !” Yeah, I never hear that. Tapi
kalo ada error, client bakal mencaci maki seakan2 gw udah melanggar Ten
Commandments >_<
