LIFE HACK 101: UNLOCKING THE IMPOSSIBLE THINGS
Have you ever imagined how your life would be in the next few months or even some years from now? Why is it important to know what you want to do in life? Do you have a plan? Or do you just go with the flow and accept whatever that is in front of you?
Wake up! Today might be a good day to pass. You do good in class, have a lot of friends to hang out with, watch your favorite movies in your free me, or just scrolling down your social media account. But, let ' s think again. Do you want to be an average person in your life me doing average people do?
Hopefully your answer is NO. I always believe that when we do more, we get something be er than we expect. Even if it is hard and seems impossible, but always remember that going extra miles will lead you to a be er result. Then, you may probably ask, how to do it? Well, I am not saying that my life is perfect or I am the best person you may know. But, here are some of my experiences that bring me to be who I am today.
Started by being someone who was spontaneous and not into crea ng a plan, I found myself somehow unsa sfied with life. Although I did well in school and was always in the top 5 of the class, I felt something was missing. I had not found the things that made me happy; something that made me alive. In my third year of high school, I was a bit confused about what I wanted to do in life. I did not know where I was going to or what major I should take in the university.
This feeling got stronger day by day un l there was a me I went to a friend and she told me,“ Dreams without ac on is hallucina on”. I dreamed about studying overseas, working in a mul na onal company and making my family proud and happy. But, I was not confident and unsure if I could do that. I thought it was impossible. I thought I would just do what was safe and certain for me, even though it might not be something I really wanted.
But hey! I realized that life was not only about today. I went to my teacher to get some advice about life goals. I prepared myself for numerous tests, applica ons, and essays. I spent many nights reading books, learning new things and thinking that I should start planning for my future. I wanted something more than just being accepted to my dream university. I wanted to be an Industrial Engineering student and be a Supply Chain Expert when I work. A er all the hardship and challenges, those efforts were eventually paid off. I went to Texas Tech University and checked off one of the dreams from the list.
There are some ways to succeed and achieve your dream. Be proac ve, join many organiza ons at school, talk to people and do whatever makes you happy! You have to be confident about yourself, know your strength, explore the things you have never experienced before. Live the impossible thoughts possible. Do something in different ways; avoiding same strategy to solve everyday issue. There are many ways to solve an equa on, right? Try each of them and see which one gets you fastest to the solu on.
It never crossed my mind to graduate in Cumlaude and also sign off a job contract before gradua on day. I was super excited that I was accepted at Schneider Electric Manufacturing Batam as a Procurement Engineer last year. I do hope that my dream to be an expert in supply chain can be real in some years from now. Fingers crossed!
