trapped in this long holiday without any meaningful activity makes me do something i called bullboing. hehe. hey you all friendster user, i bet you know the section bulletin board, which sometimes contains announcement, invitation, etc. but most of those bulletins, filled with unimportant surveys. haha.
this afternoon, i filled out a bullbo. and there's a question,
'when was the last time you feel useful?'
and i answered that question like this:
'tonight. because i feel useful when i can make my beloved ones smile.'
hw. and that's my purpose of life. i want to make my beloved ones happy. i would do anything to put a smile upon their faces.
what about you? what is your purpose of life? =)

The 'Fishing' Theory of Life
I've just come home from fishing when I wrote this post. Lately, my fishing schedule became crowded and I went to fish more often with my dad. Fishing is a very relaxing acticity, and it gives you lots of time to think while waiting for the fish to bite your bait.
Well, today, when I was watching for my bait to be biten by the fish, something just poped up in my mind. And here we are, the posting that I got inspired from fishing.
When you want to fish, you just throw the bait to the pole with your fishing rod and then wait for that bait to be biten. The sign for the bait to be biten is the floating bar began to crumble or shrink. But, sometimes the crumbling or shrinking bar can be caused by the wave of water or touched by small fish or the windblow. So, we sometimes got confused whether the bait is biten or just those phenomena. That throw us into a doubt whether we should pull the rod or not.
I think, 'fishing' is one of the reflections of how we live our life, especially about 'The Chance', that only come one or several times during lifetime. Throwing the bait is the reflection of our try when we want to achieve something. Then we just wait for opportunity to come to achieve that just like when we wait for the fish to bite our bite. And when that opportunity just come, we will face a doubt whether this is a good opportunity that we've been waiting for long or just a blank opportunity or even worse a trap, just like when we face our doubt whether the fish bite our bait or not.
Taking a risk to pull the rod is just like when we are taking a risk to take an opportunity. If it's not a fish, then we will lose our bait supply. Just like when if it's just a blank opportunity, we will lose our resources that we used to take that opportunity. And just like the limited bait supply, our resources is also limited. When it ran off, then we couldn't fish anymore until we have another supply.
Even if it is a real opportunity, we could just failed in attempt to achieve our dream. In fishing, even if you got the fish on hook, if pull the fish in a wrong way, the fish can get away from our hook. Just like taking opportunity, if do it wrong, the opportunity could just slipped from your hand.
And when we failed to catch a fish, we have to do it over from the beginning, placing the bait, throw it and wait again, just like when we failed, back to the beginning.
And when we failed to catch a fish, we have to do it over from the beginning, placing the bait, throw it and wait again, just like when we failed, back to the beginning.
Also, just like in real life, we have to use the time efficiently. WHile wait for the fish, we could prepare for the next throw, or maybe socialized with other or anything, just to make sure our time is not wasted in vain.
See? Our life is just like 'Fishing'. We need to be focus when we want toget a fish just like in reaching our goal, we need to be focus. We have to trust our heart whether to pull the rod or not, just like we have to trust our heart when we face an opportunity.
The point of this post is, that in your life, you have to try to open your opportunity (throwing the bait), focus on your doing (waiting for the fish with concentration), see the chance (see the floating bar shrinking), make a choice (pull or not), trust your heart (just like when you choose to pull it or not), do it in correct ways (when you struggle to pull the fish) and try again when you failed as long as you still can do it (throw again the bait if you still have bait supply).

Philosopher that Never Was, Royben..
Being thankful is ultimate medicine for envy-ness?
Dear humanity around the world...
Do you ever feel so ambitious for something or maybe being someone for what you dont have? This term of sentence called ‘envy’. Dictionary.com said that envy in noun is a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc.
It’s human for somebody (as a human) want to have, possess, or become someone else that better-off than him/her. In Economics, we study Utility Curve, that told us rational human being will choose higher option that give him bigger utility. Everyone of us must realize it. When we have no money, we want money, so they looking for income. When we have money we want food. When our stomach is full we want house to live in. When we settled we need somone to accompany us. When we have family we want to show to the world who are we. We want more and more.
But what in my thought is, what’s make somebody want to be better of. I mean, why dont somebody just sit down and relax in his house than searching for fame by doing something? So i am thinking, and the answer is the fuel of all hierarchy is ENVY-ness.
A college lazy student that study in the high-rank university (assumed that all of his friend are genius) will try to standardize his brain to all of his friend. Because in rational, this boy will fell so discomfort if he can’t reach the same level by in example; study harder. Why he become genius for later on? Because he is study harder for the sake of ENVY. He envys his friends that already reach the genius level.
Now imagine that a very lazy student (because there’s no stupid student) enter the low-rank university (assumed that all of his friend are lazy too). I guarantee that this student will not reach the same level as if he enter the high-rank university, because is he has no one to envy of.
Ladies and gentlemen, ENVY is really a fuel to change our hierarchy. There’s a lot of facts you can find is the real life. You can see it from working environment, why somebody one to obtain higher position.
But, there’s a proverb that say ‘Being thankful is ultimate medicine for envy-ness’. ENVY is the fuel for changing hierarchy. Why it need medicine? By thankful and medicize this envy, how can somebody move to better hierarchy? I just thinking there’s something wrong with this proverb. My opinion is thankful is not the medicine. For the reason, envy doesn’t need medicine. We should have envy-ness in ourself. Without it people never developed himself. But (i’m thinking again), a very high, ambitious, envy, makes you becoming a bad guy. You even legalize all your way to get your goal. People might steal or rob when they want money. People might bribe when they want a higher position. And a student, might cheat during the test, when they want high score. So, why this thankfulness is said to be medicine, because it stop a chance for somebody to do a bad behavior. It stop a criminal to rob money. It makes people think rationally. Mm, it just my opninion and my shallow thoughts. You can suggest your idea or correction in the comment section.
So people, be thankful!

Is this our real life?
Have you ever think that the life that you've been living for is a real life? Can you guarantee that it's not a dream? I mean, can you imagine when someday you wake up in your different place, different time, different family, different name, or even different life? Then, you'll starts confuse about who you really is.
Well, that's not happened to me yet. Atleast for now. So, who am I? I'm Spiderman! That's what Peter Parker said on the first Spiderman movie. But me? I'm just an ordinary man who is trying to write my thoughts on this HAKUNA MATATA thing. My name is Aulia Rachman Santosa and same with other writers on this blog, i am a 2nd year student of Economics Department in University of Indonesia. People used to call me Ulay. I don't know why, but i can guarantee that it doesn't have any relation with Titi Kamal. You know, the 'Jablay' song.
I have tried to write as serious as possible. But this is me. Maybe too much humor in my head. It ain't good. But I just want to make people laugh. I hope it works. ENJOY!

don't worry be Happy..
Well.. Finally I’ve decided to accept philosophIErs’s invitation to be its contributor. It is a hard decision because I have to kill my own fear to write something that is “serious” topic in English. So, if you find something wrong in my grammar or spelling, please correct it.
My name is Martha Safitri but most people call me Happy. I am a student of Economics of UI. In my writing later, maybe u can’t see the inspiring writing or smart review of something, you just can see my shallow thinking; my simple perspective about life; and my little contribution for others. Because I am not the philosopher, I’m not special and I’m not as smart as my friends always think. I am just Happy, an ordinary girl who always try to do best in my life and dream to turn myself from nobody to somebody.

The Pyramid Of Life
I always think about my life. What is my life for? What is the meaning of this life? Why does life needs to be that short? What should I do in this short time? What is my goal to make this life meaningful?
It is always bothering me. There are about six billion of people in this world (I don't know for sure). I am just one between those six billion people. Do they all know me? Actually, I believe almost all of them don't know me. It feels like I am a nobody in this world. Just live for years for nothing. I don't even be called existed.
Well, that is the position of most of us. We live, we are actually live, but nobody know we live. Feels empty, doesn't it?
People in that condition is the people in the first Stage of Life. What is the stage of life? It is the current condition of your life reflecting your existency in this world, divided into three different stages. Well, literally, stage of life does not have that meaning. But the meaning my stage of life is that.
The first stage is NOBODY. They actually live in this world. But, not that many know of them. When they someday die, sooner or later, people will fully forget about their past existency. Most of people in this world start at this stage, live at this stage and die at this stage. They do not have any achievement. They failed on their attempt to reach their dreams. Or they choose to become Nobody, saying that they are incapable. They are probably unknown by the world. That's why I call them "The person that never was". They existed but nobody knows.
The second stage is EXISTENCY. People at this stage could prove his existency to the world. But only during lifetime. When they die, sooner or later, people will forget about them. They will fade away as the flow of time. BUt, at least, their existency will remain as long as those people who have seen their existency live and the number of people that have seen the existency is a lot more that those at the first stage. So, we can conclude that at least the existency of people at this stage could remain longer than those of the first stage. Only few of us could achieve this stage. Coz it's not easy to achieve this stage. We have to do something very big. Something that could be seen by others. What we need to achieve this stage is "The Proof of Existence".
The last stage in life, the final one, iss ETERNITY. People in this stage will never be forgotten by every single person in this world. They may be dead. But, their memories will never fade away. Only a very little, probably one in several years, that could achieve this. Because, achieving it might be impossible, but actually possible. They were granted the Eternity because they dare to face the inpossible. It needs hard work and dedication to achieve this stage. To achieve this stage, we have to do something very big, and significant enough to affect the life of almost all of sentient beings in present and the future.
Let us take example for the last stage. Isaac Newton, though his theorem of mechanics was critisized by Albert Einstein with the book of "Forgive Me, Newton", but his name remains existed until present with all of those development of technology that no longer use the simple theorem of Newton, but with signficant modification. His theorem is the root of all mechanics modern theorems. Moreover, we live with his simple theorem in our daily life. People will never forget about him since he has done something that change the life of all people in this world. People like Thomas Alpha Edison, Albert Einstein, Adam Smith, Franklin D. Roosevelt, etc are also people that have reach this stage.
Why would I call it eternity? Because, even when they die, people will never forget about them. They may be dead but they memories will remain in eternity. There is no absolute eternity in this world. This eternity is the only eternity that we can possibly achieve. The people at this stage are called "The Fadeless Memories".
Why do I call it 'The pyramid of Life'? Let see! Almost all of the people in this world live as the NOBODY, while few could achieve EXISTENCY and very little have step their feet on ETERNITY. The combination this stage creates a pyramid, where Nobody lies as the bottom, indicating that all people start at this stage, where Existency as the middle stage, and eternity lies on the top of the pyramid with little size indicating it is the stage where least people could achieve. That is the PYRAMID OF LIFE.
"People are grouped into three stages in their life. Most of them could only become 'Nobody', whom people could not prove that they ever existed. Few of them could achieve the 'Existency', who will eventually forgotten by time. And very little, probably only one in years, could find his 'Eternity', whose memories will never fade 'til the end of time. That is the Pyramid of Life"
-The Philosopher that Never Was-
It is our desicions whether we could achieve the eternity or stopped at the bottom stage. Do we want to become only a Nobody? I believe that everybody wants to achieve at least the Existency. Because, everybody wants to proof their existency. But, most people who could achieve the existency stopped at this stage. The do not want to continue because they think the eternity is impossible to achieve.
So, everything depends on our own judgement. The stage we are at now is the stage that we wanted to be. Whether we want to move forward is our desicions to make. Think about it, guys.. Do you want to stop being nobody? Or you want to live as it is let the life decide what you will become? It's your choice.

You Will Never Walk Alone
dear humanity around the world,
"But if the rain must fall, If i lose it all, If the world comes down and takes my soul, If the sky turns black, And theres no no way back, It won't matter much to me, If i had you, All i need is your love, That's all i need, All i need is your love"
If The Rain Must Fall - James Morrison
Yes, another inspiring song, to pump up your spirit. Like Hakuna Matata.
Allright. Because Mr. Wirapati would like me to post my welcoming post, so i'll try to create it. First of all. An introduction of course.
My name is Kautsar Primadi Nurahmad. People called me Uchal. I'm a contributors of this blogs. I'm a student of University of Indonesia.Undergraduates of economics faculty, majoring in Economics. I'm a 2006 student. Because Syaria is not yet opened for concentration in my year, so i will have Public and Enviromental Economics next year. Please pray for me everyone.
I'm kind of a fast-boring person. So i will sometimes leave this blog for few weeks.
Mostly i will talk about review of something, love, or maybe news. Sometimes i have bad punctuation (bad typo). So, i request your forgive and leave comment on my post, so i can correct it.
So people, wait for my post! See You!

Let's Conquer the Life Together!
Like the administrator said in the welcoming post (The PhilosophIErs Post), Life is A Journey. It is a path that we have to walked at. When you fear of the life itself, you let the life conquer yourself. But, I would like to said 'Never let your life conquer you, it is you that have to conwuer the life itself'.
The name is Bagus Arya Wirapati, usually called Royben Studdard, and in this blog I am called 'The Philosopher that Never Was'. I am one of the PhilosophIErs just like the other two before my post and some after my post. Just like them, I am Economics Student at University of Indonesia and at the same year with them also (2006).
I usually talked about a thing called LIFE. Because it is the only thing that cannot be recovered (since we cannot turn back time, can we?). So, you will find me post something about LIFE essence (just like destiny, reason to live, friendship, goal of life, etc) in this blog. But, it doesn't mean that I will write anything else.
I want to share everything that I have to all of you. Don't bother to criticize me cuz we are at the same position after all, searching for truth. SO, let me know when you don't agree with my thinking by post your comments.
That's what I want to talk! Enjoy the blog and be inspired! Let us conquer the life together!Be not afraid and...

Don't Worry! Our Journey Had Begun..
"Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase! Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze! It means no worries for the rest of your days. It's a problem free--philosophy! Hakuna Matata!!"
-Hakuna Matata, Lion King-
Behold!
You are in the 'Hakuna Matata' area! Hakuna Matata means 'don't worry'! So, this is the place where everybody needs to get rid of their worries, by finding the answers for their life!
In this place, we provide you with the latest philosophies from a group of people, who have already find the answers for certain problems in their life, willingly share their opinions and thus making them live with those answers as their own philosophy. So, this is the place where you can find the answers for the problems you had or you can get inspired to find your own answers.
This group of people called themself, The PhilosophIErs. They are a group of college students at University of Indonesia, Department of Economics, attended 2006, who have already overcome a lot of problems, even from the slightest problem to a very significant problems that can turn their world upside-down. They spend a lot of time to discuss those problems and find the answers, creating a philosophy that they can live within. They might be SMALL, but they can do something BIG! So, you are!
You don't have to worry about the differences in opinion between us and yourself. Even you can find some different opinions in the postings here. That's all because we both try to find the answers, and we both have different views. But, that's what this blog are for. 'To find the answers, and create our own philosophy'.
"There are so many world. But, they share the same sky. One Sky, one destiny"
-Kingdom Hearts-
We are different. But, we try share the same things, the same problems. Whether we would choose to live with different philosophy from then, that's our choice to make and that is absolutely the ANSWERS. So, you can face your own life onwards.
"Life is a journey, and journey is life. How to walk on your own journey is the most important thing in your life"
-Philosopher that never was-
Your answers might bring you to a new life, means you will face a new journey, with new happiness, new sadness, new challenges, new struggles. Some people afraid of find their answers because they are afraid of what lies beyond their journey. We ask you not to be afraid.
"And who knows, starting a new journey may not be so hard, or maybe it's already begun"
-Kingdom Hearts-
HAKUNA MATATA! It is useless to run away from you journey. Your journey have already begun and your answers await you beyond it. It's not a thing to be afraid of, it is a thing to be faced of.
So, have some philosophies inspire you to face your own journey, to find your own answers. Share your wisdom, Find your might, and beyond them, lies your freedom and delight!
Regards,
HAKUNA MATATA!
The PhilosophIErs..
