Life and Business Lessons

#2 Good friends.
Friendships is one of the greatest support system in the world. Nourish it, protect it, look after it, develop it, to the best of your ability. Friends are those wonderful people who knows all about you and still like you, right? Gotta have those.

#3 Heritage.
Keep your heritage alive, that’s make Indonesia great (really??!) It’s the combination of the variety of heritage, the most have here in Indonesia. Gift of languages, business ethics, government, music, poetry, the work ethic maybe. Here is one of the greatest gift you have to bring, your heritage : customs, costumes and styles, poetry, language, ways, recipes, musics. Keep that alive. Don’t pass on the ceremony that come from your heritages. Keep those alive. That’s makes us great. Be thankful to all of that.

#4 Spirituality.
I’ve already mentioned that before. Study - Practice - Teach.

#5 Don’t miss anything.
This the major part of life style. Shut off the television, go look, go see, go do, taste the wine (sometimes), eat the food, enjoy the people, go to the movies. The best values you can pay for to see a movie cost what? A few thousand (IDR) or US $10? Hundred million to make it but only few thousand (IDR) or US $10 to see it??! Wow..! Don’t miss the performance, the songs, the lyrics, don’t miss what happening.

Go look, go see, go do. Average people watch the television six to eight hours a day. That’s too much time. Don’t miss anything, no matter how small the occasion. Go look, go see, go do. Experience Life ! Have you ever drink wine? If you’ve ever taste good taste wine, you will know that the wine is something different from other wine, just know, something inside you. “The Genius is within all of us, it is just need to be exposed and developed, and used.” Something would have told you : “This is fine.” (even though you’re not wine connoisseur).

When you hear poetry, you say, wow, “this is fine.” The music, you say, “this is fine music.” Even if you’re not a musician. Something tells you inside. Now, if you miss all of that, if you don’t go, hear, listen, see, then you’re not tapping into this genius that can recognize something fine, whether it’s the poetry, the bible, or the lyrics of the music.

Just don’t miss it. Elton John sings “She lives her life like a candle in the wind, never knowing who to cling to.” See, that’s fine. And now you go hear it again, again, and again. Let it nourish your soul and spirit, that’s part of life style. Living Well. That’s the key.
