Along the way and through every corner, I have met numbers of parents. Ideally, parents are able to love and accept their children as who they are.

In Between Marriage and Funeral
Last week, I heard a bad news about my old friend. Her mom suddenly passed away in the morning when she was about to feed her pet at the back of the house.

The Importance of Image (Is that really important?)
As I am writing this post, I stand at 'Doctor Lounge' in a hospital where I work as a Psychologist. I look through a big window and I see an old almost-die car at the parking lot. Interestingly, the car is parked at one of those lots for 'doctors only'. While looking down at the … Continue reading The Importance of Image (Is that really important?)
65th Wedding Anniversary? Surely A Hardwork!
On my flight to Australia, I read a book by Scott Peck - the well known 'The Road Less Traveled'. I reached the second big theme, Love. He wrote that love is an act of courage and a hardwork.

Lessons from ‘The Road Less Traveled’
This journey of reading 'The Road Less Traveled' by Scott Peck is very personal for me. I've heard about this phenomenal book since years ago - but I always find the excuse of not borrowing or buying this book. Until about a month ago when I was in faculty's library.

Silence: Part of Solution or Problem?
I believe you've heard people say: "Let's sleep on the problems". Or maybe you heard: "I wish the problems will go away by themselves". Or maybe you say it to others every now and then? Unfortunately problems can't help themselves, they need to be solved. As Scott Peck stated in his book "The Road Less … Continue reading Silence: Part of Solution or Problem?
Living in the Tunnel of Past Life
These past few days, I've got a daily text message from a-44-year-old woman who complained about what happened to her 30 or 35 years ago. She is a big fan of a used-to-be famous child singer in Indonesia, since 35 years ago. She is very proud of the fact that she is able to get … Continue reading Living in the Tunnel of Past Life
Expect The Unexpected
I believe we hear the saying of 'expect the unexpected' many times from many different occasions. This saying somehow sends a message to our mind that we need to be ready - in facing many unexpected happenings. 'Unexpected' is prone to be defined as 'something bad happen suddenly' or 'something happen out of plan'. But … Continue reading Expect The Unexpected
