Don't Ever Compare Your Chapters in Life with Someone Else's Chapters


We are all born from different parents and grown up in different places, no one would experience the exact same thing. There were people who were privileged enough to be raised by rich parents but that doesn't guarantee that their lives would be great in the end. There were also people who were raised from parents who were not that rich but always teach good things to their children and always live happily.

Sometimes comparing ourselves to others can be a good thing if get motivated by it, but it would be bad if get down because we feel nothing compared to them. We are all have different start points in this life and our own privileges, there's no need to compare our lives to others. And remembering that we also have different goals in this life, all we need to compared to is our past selves.

We only live once, so we need to always be happy and not worrying about what others would say if we haven't achieved some of the things that we still can't achieve, no need to rush.

With this, I just want to remind myself especially, that everyone's life is different, no need to compare because all we need to focused on is ourselves.

Feeling insecure is like a disease because it can affect many aspects in your life. When you feel insecure, you think that you're not good enough and it holds you for doing things that you actually good at but you can't see it because you're already feel like you're not enough. I found this interesting perspective about insecurity from someone's tweet. He tweeted, "...insecurity is the worst thing you can unconsciously feed into

The Key of Fluency in Languages

  In this globalization era, communication becomes a very important thing. We’re not only talk to people near us, but sometimes we need to talk to people far away even from different countries for different purposes.

Pencakar Langit Sampah (Jabodetabek tenggelam dalam gunung sampah) Oleh : Andrea Amalia Salma, terjemahan liputan The Jakarta Post dengan judul Skyscraper of Waste oleh Vela Andapita dan Sausan Atika) Pernahkah kalian menghitung jumlah sampah yang kalian hasilkan? Jabodetabek, dengan lebih dari 30 juta penduduk, mengirim lebih dari 14.000 ton sampah ke TPA (Tempat Pembuangan Akhir) setiap harinya. Untuk lebih jelasnya, limbah yang sudah dihasilkan oleh Jabodetabek selama tiga tahun terakhir dapat mengisi gedung pencakar langit tertinggi di Jakarta, yaitu Menara Gama yang memiliki tinggi 310 meter. Aliran sampah yang sangat deras, ditambah lagi dengan pengelolaan sampah yang buruk, telah membawa area metropolitan ke dalam krisis. Beberapa TPA sudah kelebihan muatan atau menghadapi resiko kelebihan muatan. Dalam waktu dekat, penduduk Jabodetabek akan kehabisan tempat untuk membuang sampah. Krisis ini telah mempengaruhi orang-orang yang tinggal berdekatan dengan TPA. Gunungan sampah yang
