The journey: journey to Penang (day three) opening ceremony

I was so sleepy this morning, but I was so happy after watching my favorite football team won the European Champion League. They deserve that tittle because they are really good not only on the final match but also on every matches this year.

Well, the third day was quite busy. on the third day the activity was officially opened by Minister in the Prime Minister's Office & Chief Executive Officer of PEMANDU.

On his speech he reveal 6 secrets of success, but for a specific reason he didn't mention the fifth secret. The reminding five secrets are:
1. Pursue the game of impossible
    This is quite unique to me. Why we have to pursue the game of impossible? He explained that so many people were refuse to do their best, especially when everyone in the community had agreed that it was impossible to do this and that.
If you want to gain the success, it's better for you to give the best shot you have to make the impossibility possible. If you succeeded then you are the only person could do it. But if you failed then it was as predicted and no need to worry about it. The result of being persistent in doing something impossible might have changed your life and you become more positive thinker.

2. Focus on result
    What is your goal in life? if you know it then please focused on it.
    For example if your goal was to defeat the number one student in the class, then you have to know how he/she studied. After knowing them well, it is better for you to double the portion or if it is possible please make more than double. if you don't do more then what he/she does, then you will never stand above him/her.

3. Discipline of action
    Not to much different with key number 2, but in here you must do above way consistently and routine.
    For example if you want to beat Lee Chong Wei in playing badminton, so you have to do practice a lot more than Chong Wei. After 2 years, would id be possible for you to defeat Chong wei? if you could than you have reached your goal, but if you failed you have become a very healthy and fit person in your province. So, be discipline and consistent.

4. Winning the coalition.
If we are in a group, we must do our best to be the winner since our goal is to win the championship as one group. but we have to do more practices in order to make our self better then our team and as the result we are going to be the best among the best.

5. (as I said above, he didn't want to give us key number 5.

6. Be ready for all conditions.
    Sometimes, what we were hoping is not like we are facing. so what should we do overcome the situation?
    we must set a new goal with the condition we are facing. Meaning, we are not allowed to regret thing that God don't set for us.

After the speech, the committee gave some performances that really entertaining and irritating.
It was really entertaining because they prepare everything beautifully and creatively. While the irritating part was when they did performance by using Gamelan (our traditional instrument from Jawa). Not only playing the Gamelan they also singing "rasa sayange" (our traditional song)
I was here not to make the situation worse, but I want to emphasize that they were really proud playing the Gamelan and they were excellent in playing that instruments. (proud of our tradition is the thing that we don't have as Indonesian)
