Are Each Of Us Really Special?

As a personho born with Gen.X as my parents, we dont encounter something really depressing situation such as great depression or great war, even if we did encounter those events, we're still young and don't know much how's that will effect economy of our family or establishment.

we are the generation whose raise with a lot of dream in front of us, we are told by our parents to pursue our dream, because to them we are soo lucky and have everything we need, unlike our parents who need to struggle just to get education, we are so lucky even our parents can choose what education suit us, even they can complain to the teacher what they should or should not do to us.

we live in such a happy moment, we dont need to worry about war, or riot. we are focused on our education, which sounds like a good idea, but if you think much about it, it's really not that good . i used to watch kids nowadays, and especially in college students where they should turn from 'kids' to 'adult', this generation which never really have to struggle for live will expect a lot of comfort after turned into adult. what kind of adult we become?

and the question remain, are we even THAT Special? if you took any personality test you will found that you were 'special' or at least that's what your parents dictate you in the last of your lifetime, 'you are special'. and even education nowadays treat each person as 'special' there's no kids that same they have each different traits. but DO WE?

maybe you can claim yourself special, like there's no other people like me, i'm unique or so. but in reality we're not that special, we always have the same dream (to be rich and success) and we will think how to become that is to work or even sells something. i mean there's no originality in our dreams, even in this unique life of ours, we always learn to be someone from other people, thats why you often heard about 'rolemodel' or 'favourite person'. our lives, there's no originality in there.

the thing is to realize this matter will helpful to you so you dont get too much expectation in your life, as somebody special, you must've shining in your workplace or you should be the one the boss like among other people, but then again if your co workers think the same does it still make you special?.
IF EVERYONE SPECIAL THEN WHAT SO SPECIAL TO BECOME SPECIAL?

the future of adhesive sticker

we all know how the advertisement is conduct with stickers, you often see them in the street, on your friend's front door, or even in mirror inside your room. not only stop in stickers, but also everything that need adhesive materials, such as posters flyers etc.

the problem with these kind of advertisement is that this really bothers the environment, the adhesive is like staying there for a long time, and when it comes off it doesn't come off easily, there still have bits and bits a LOT of bits that just make your wall seems ugly and dirty

thus, this kind of advertisement make the advertiser seems like a bad guy, you can't just stick it anywhere without being told to piss off, because no one ever wants a stranger to make his fence look dirty

this problem takes us to a question, is there something better to do? well if we see today technology like social media really helps in advertising, but for who? if we want to advertise something which our main target is taxi driver or shopkeeper than social media is not the answer, and do you know how effective a poster or sticker is? just stick a sticker on top of urinoir, i guarantee each person using that urinoir will see your ad, or just place it in big mirror anywhere, 100% every person pass by will notice

i wonder there will be a breakthrough adhesive innovation that will be no sticky anymore when you put some heat/chemical/somethin and thus make this kind of advertisement acceptable anywhere on your neighborhood also for the more advance thing, maybe only with certain amount of chemical/heat/whatevs this adhesive material will come off so no sabotage on your ad, as long as you are reliable and nice..

have a nice weekend everyone!

The Rule of THREE

On this particular slot, i will tell you my own theory, this theory should be able to help you in regular basis, just because it is simple and help you to solve any problem you faced. as you may know, there are some approaches you can take when you are dealing with problems.

first PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Action) these cycle is one of the base from industrial engineering study, where plan is when you make assumption for your problem and plan ahead what you should do about that, then Do, is where you implement those alternatives not by 100%, but just a glimpse so you can calculate the impact of that alternatives, and then Check, its where you evaluate what you've done so far and you have to decide what alternative you should use, and after all clear you can make next step into Action where you implement all the solution you make.

beside PDCA there's more easy theory we all able to implement, such as problem solving cycle which consist of identify problem, explore the solution, set goals, make alternatives or plan B, select which one is better, implement and finally evaluate, if something goes wrong then back to identify the problem

but the main problem about problem solving mostly it's not in the theory on how you do that or else, but it comes when you try to implement all of that, first of all when you want to identify the problem, where you should start? from what perspective you should see? which one is more urgent than the others? these problem will eventually come up in every step of problem solving cycle. then what you need is not these cycle, but the frame on how you should think about everything.

my theory is super simple, the theory of three is what it's sounds like, it represent the number three, which basically means anything, any problems, any solutions can be started with three part :

PREPARATION

ACTION

FINISH

or

BACKGROUND

CONTENT

EVAUATION

or

PRE

PROCESS

POST

anything will basically consist of these three. when you started to analyze anything, just start with these basic three and your analysis will become much much more easier and faster, also its valid because it's scientific.

let's do some practice : 

problems : your girlfriend doesn't text you back

think by the theory of three :

then it must be consist of three steps in why she's angry. 

1. Before today 

i met her in the street while i talk to my ex

2. Today

she mad at me because of that, so i will apologize to her

3. Tomorrow

I will assure to make better understanding for both of us.

there, your porblem solved within minutes and also its scientifically correct!

enjoy these new knowledge, and share it to your friends!

Train for Archipelago country

Train, as we know it is one of the mass transport mode, this mode has been exist since early 1800's this breakthrough has made people move faster, economic growth move rapidly in early england, and soon in the continent. Train make it possible to transport raw material easily, transport people far distances in short time, because it's so mind blowing, people had to make time zone to standardize time when you arrive in the destination, maybe when we travel by horse or something else we don't need time zone. but train force us to standardize it.

as a fans of train, it made me thinking what goods that it brings to my country which is an archipelago country, the main idea of train is some big chunk of metal move in rapid speed on the rail, which is brilliant idea in continental country or at least like england where there are only 2 main island, for us? with 57.000 island and 6 main island i find it hard to help.

some say trains are not for us they say what this country need is an airplane, a small airplane to move freely from one island to another, well that saying can be right, but for industrial head like me, i think it's not good enough, with airways maybe we can transport people in short time, but not in a massive way, and i think thats why i don't see any progress with my island (kalimantan), south kalimantan to be exact in the last 10 years, why? because the transportation growth to these area are slow

then some question emerge, why can we make train that can reach many island in the archipelago country one like indonesia. my idea come from integrating boat with train, i called it water railways the idea is so simple, it's to give boat a railway so it can move faster, but what kind of boat you may ask, well it's not just a boat it's more like a half bullet train half boat, so it can move with the wave and all sort of thing in the ocean.

just imagine we have to make bridge that long, in what cost? in what time? is it applicable to other island? i dont think so.

well i'm not able to design it more detail because of my lack of understanding with hydrodynamics and other things related to that so if anyone want to help i think that's just wonderful.

3D Printing IS the FUTURE

do you know 3D printing? no? then you must've been truly late for what was happening in the world right now, imagine like some god that can create anything from nothing, well the main idea about these printer is like that, you can make something real from just a bunch of useless pellet, and the process also fast and easy *well it's not that easy actually but you get the point, i think this invention could lead us to another segment of industrial revolution

back then, james watt make an incredible invention with his more efficient and more practicable steam machine you see newcomen was the first who found those thing yet the industrial revolution just begun when watt introduced the one that more 'people friendly'

i can say that's what happening to this technology right now, but with information revolution today, almost everyone get their hands on this technology just right away thus make this technology grow rapidly, in just 2 years the growth had reach 50% and keep going, some says technological market grows really fast, and reduce really fast too, just like smart phone market, when you're saving for this year model the new model will come up just 6 months after.

but this technology not like smart phones in any way, this technology more manufacture-like than consumer-like, just imagine this technology replaced all lathe machine, all CNC machine or even small drilling machine all over industry, and it's just as realistic as it sound, nowadays even metal can come out from these badasses machine

what i'm thinking is that do we really ready to embrace this technology? or we just seen it as passer-by like what we do to soo many other thing like virtual reality, solar panel etc. come on i mean this is new future in front of us, let's together embrace it and put our effort, thought also soul in this technology for i'm sure whoever grab this opportunity soon will have whole world in their hands.

Are Military logic hierarchy still relevant today?

 as we know, present generation today include some generation X, a lot of generation Y and still incoming generation Z, which led us to some challenge that different than we know today, Schroer says each generation really differs from one another you see in generation X's early life this generation whose born between 1966-1976 really have low enthusiasm about their environment, mostly call skepticism, so in other word we can say this generation don't ask question a lot, at least not as many as generation Y

generation Y whose born between 1977-1994 had really intense interaction with media, with internet and all sort of stuff which make data travelling so much easier and faster, this generation can't be easily 'fooled' just because they have seen it all, so it makes them less brand royal, and thus make them really flexible about their way, we can say this generation will always develop as long as they feel they need to, meanwhile generation Z whose born between 1995-2012 we cannot conclude anything from this generation just because it's still growing rapidly but most people will agree this generation will interact with much more diversity between them thus make them really flexible and even more develop than generation Y, but whether it's going to be like that or something else we cannot tell yet.

so base on that we can conclude that mostly what consist in society right now was generation Y, which means this internet society will always be growing rapidly, ideologically and socially. meanwhile generation X still exist and become the guardian of value among society, because their nature which just don't care and just passing what have given to them by their elders, generation X still maintaining whats good in the past and apply them to today society, well in some case the failed because it's not relevant anymore (such as company culture;political campaign;marketing strategy;etc) but still there's some part where they still exist.

what i'm talking about is in military organization, not many military organization as i recognised but my own country, as we know how people get educated in military academy or such they begin with self control, discipline and ideological reason, and heres what interesting, in ideological reason about what they must do and what they not permitted to do is thought through doctrine which thought each day 24/7 which basically include command hierarchy,that include  command,control and communication inside them we  often hears "never questioned your superintend" or "senior always right", and that's what made them become what they've become today as military or police force.

but as people ever said "you cannot argue with captain in a battleship,if you do, you already sink the ship"  i cannot agree more if this saying for elder generation, but with our generation? i don't think so. our generation need reasoning, our generation need cooperativeness without that, it's just like you are killing this generation and make them 'your' generation like what doctrine is all about. but in organizational theory stated that organization exist for the people, not as reverse.

in my opinion if military keep this style of command, these military organization will never develop, furthermore if the generation Y or Z running those organization, their true self cannot be contained forever, furthermore this command chain gives you more power as you rise above and makes you more 'free' and what i'm afraid is that when they take control and they do what they want as generation Y would do normally, without any argument from subordinate will led to something bad. these symptom not occured right now, but in 10 years we might see someone from generation Y get on top of management chain and decide to make improvement in organizational behavior and his subordinate whose generation what i don't know maybe won't be welcome as generation Y right now, and nowadays no one ever questioned that in any military organization because that's inexcusable

i'm saying this right now because i see the sign that these symptom is getting higher, *at least in my country and it makes such a bad impression about them, and the subordinate whose not allowed to speak up will not stand up and build their rage inside them, if it's not handled properly than the military organization will eventually lose their name in society and led to chaos in society itself

so my message to all military person out there, please don't feed your fear about your commander, stand up and tell what's wrong because what you doing is you're not repairing the system you're make your organization worse and eventually when you on top you'll make same mistakes and society that maybe OK in past times will change eventually and your poor organization which just stagnant from time to time will pay the price. change now, don't affraid
