First Day to Success

Today is the first day of my resolution.
I just continue to read a marketing book and do some TOEFL practice.
Beside that, I found some information of studying abroad.
I wish to have a master degree of Business Administration abroad.
So, I searched for Top 100 World University.
After that, I tried to have a look at UC Berkeley and Ohio State University website.
I chose the two of them because I have a relative studying there, so that I can ask them for further information.
I wish that I can be admitted at one of those university, but I also have to be realistic.
However, We were told to set a goal as high as the star at the sky.
After wasted around an hour time for surfing the internet, I got the information that to take a MBA program, I have to have min. 600 of TOEFL score and I have to take GMAT test.
So, my first step to fulfill my dream, I have to improve my English so that I can gain the 600 TOEFL score.
(FYI, My prediction TOEFL score are 537)
I think that's all for today.

Today's Lesson:
Recheck before you are going to do something.
Yeah...
So, yesterday I sent my thesis report to the object company.
I sent the email with 2 attachment which are my friend's report and mine.
Before that, I just converted the file from .docx to .pdf.
After converted the file, I just sent it to the PIC.
This morning, I just got an email said that The contents of the two files are the same.
And, you know what.
After I checked it by myself, I found that I made a mistake when converting the file.
I sent the same file with different name.
So, next time, I have to recheck what I am going to do.
It's simple failure but It is crucial.

My First Blog


You are no more than a loser, Nit.
Yeah, You are a LOSER!
Why??


Yeah, That's me, I Think.
I am Nita.
I am a 'fresh graduate' of one of the best institute of my Country, Indonesia.
I don't know, but maybe Jobless is the correct word to describe myself now.
I have been graduated for almost 4 months, but I haven't got a job offer for that time.
As an alumna of the best institute in Indonesia, I should have a job now.
Or even at one of the multinational company in Indonesia.
Yeah, people always say that the alumna or alumnus of this university will get a good job. (*I wish)
But, It is not true.
I don't whether it only happens to me or it happens to my other friends.
But, I feel that I am the only person.
Maybe, you will say that I am not grateful.
Yeah, I am selfish.
I want more that other people have.
I want to be more successful than my friends.
I want everything so that people can admire me.
Yeah, I have a million dreams.
But, what happen to me??
I am no more than a loser.

I wish to get a master degree abroad.
I wish to go around the world.
I wish to be freedom financially at 25. (I am 22 now)
And many more.
But, what I was doing on my leisure time as a jobless person??
I just sat in front of my laptop, facebooking, tweeting, watching K-drama, listening to the music, and the other non value added activities.
But, as an Industrial Engineer, I was taught to eliminate non value added activities to improve the productivity.
Does it mean that I am not successful as an Industrial Engineer.
I don't know.
Can that be the criteria to assess how successful are you as an Industrial Engineer??

This is my first day of blogging.
Why do I start blogging??
Because I want you to be one of the witness of what I am gonna do the next day, the next month, the next year, and...
I want you to be the witness of whether my success or my failure. (I wish it will be my success)
Through my first blog, I want to make a promise.
I promise that starting from tomorrow, October 10th 2012, I will start to improve myself.
Start to organize what I do so that the non value added activities can be reduced.
I know it's hard.
I have tried this before, but my laziness won at that time.
I don't who will be the winner for now.
My passion or my laziness.
Just see what I do tomorrow.
To the person who read this blog or maybe the person who will be my subscriber.
Please remind me or even scold me if I have give a sign of being lazy anymore or a sign of breaking my promises.
I will try my best to update my blog everyday.
Maybe someday, My blog can be booked with title "The Diary of a Loser being a Winner" or "The Diary of an Eternal Loser"
I don't know.
I know the criteria of loser and winner are subjective, but I believe that a winner is a person that can make people think that he/she is a winner.
whether only a person, 10, 100, 1000, ..., or even the world.
