Thanks to Almighty God for giving this great 26 years life. Since 28 hours ago I've been a quarter century + 1 years old. Damn...I'm old. Feel like yesterday I still learn Quantum Physics in my undergraduate study and still not knowing what I wanna do in my life. Life is so fast, it passes and will end before you know it.
They say, 25 years is a determination age. Whether someone is success or not quite success, can be determined in his/her 25 years old. Well, my 25 years has passed, then what have I done or achieved? Hmmm...that's a big question. Lets rewind my life for the last one year.
The biggest thing I've done during my 25 years old is DyCode. It took a huge courage for me to resign from my (own) previous company along with my division team. Leaving a company that has been also raised by myself for 2.5 years is a big decision. Then at May 9, 2007, I founded DyCode - that I've conceived for almost one year before - along with 5 other founders, that later became 3 founders left of the original 6. Next things DyCode and me have achieved are the subsequent consequences of that big action. Sometime in life, we are faced to a hard and big decision, that actually can determine the good things we'll have ahead in the future.
Lets recaps what I've got so far in my 26 years life.
- I've become a CEO at 25 years old. Faster and younger than I expected.
- Become quite famous lately that I've never imagined before in my life. Refer to this posting.
- I can take DyCode to a level that can't be done during 2.5 years in my previous company. I can do it within less than one year.
- Lead DyCode to win some awards.
- I'm not married yet, which is a good and bad thing. The good thing is I can be focus & dedicated to what I do. The bad thing is...kagak nahan... :)
So, whether I'm success or not, I don't know, you tell me :)
Ok, enough rewinding my life, lets focus to the future. What things I wish for next one year? Here are some of them:
Related to business:
- Launch new product/service on the net. Just wait...it's a top secret project :) and I research for it by my self and it took my time frustratingly lately.
- Add some new developers & business analyst. We're also recruiting for Public Relationship (PR). Anybody interested? Send your CV to my email: andri at dycode dot com
- Move to bigger office
- Expand to overseas
- More focused business
- More research and have a dedicated research team
- More exist & dynamic
For myself:
- Have more holidays since I haven't had long holidays since 2004. Everyday is a workday since 4 years ago...huh...so tired
- Make me more useful for others, more contribution to community
- Have new hobby, maybe AirSoft Gun.
- Quit smoking...hmmm...is that even possible?
- Go abroad few times, maybe Europe or US :P~
- Wait for iPhone 2.0 :)
- What about a newer beamer..that's a good idea :)
What I've learned so far in my life?
- Life is uncertain, like Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle:
that states: locating a particle in a small region of space makes the momentum of the particle uncertain; and conversely. Given a certain momentum, we can be end up anywhere. And at any given point in life, we can't be certain about specific momentum. So, from my point of view, we are always faced to crossroad in life. A choice can lead to unexpected result. By the guidance from the Almighty and the intuition those can show us the better way. - Knowing that someday we're gonna die makes us not afraid of losing anything. So, don't be afraid to take risks and make some big decision in life. Someday we're gonna die and we have nothing to lose. Life is too short to be lived with some things those we don't wanna do or we don't want to be. Quit living others' life and start our own life.
- Easy doesn't enter grownup life.
- Nothing, literally, nothing comes for free. If something comes too easy, we have to be suspicious that will lead to something we don't expect. Nothing comes too easy.
- In Physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in any isolated system remains constant. The energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. Go figure out by yourself what's its relation to life :) From my point of view, energy involved in an isolated system called life is also conserved. Energy from your food can be transformed into kinetic energy to pump the blood that at the end will power up your brain to solve Algorithm and move your hand and finger to do coding. Some of that energy will be released as heat energy of your head and your puff :P So, the total energy will be conserved. No energy we can create, all we can do is to increase the efficiency to make useful energy bigger than not useful energy, so the efficiency will close to 100%. Kayak gak nyambung ya ;)
OK, enough for life philosophic lesson :) and it's now the time to continue my life. Please wish me luck for my 26 years birthday and hopefully I spend the rest of my life wisely. Thanks God and you all.
As the closing, this is the photo of birthday cake that's presented by someone special..Hmm...yummmy...
