A place where I can live, breathe, talk and see

I accidentally bumped into Steve Pavlina's website (http://www.stevepavlina.com) and found this article titled 'How to Make Money from Your Blog'. It's a very interesting article, and I just realised that we CAN get money from blogging. Gee.. :-D I'm enlightened!!

And this last few days I'm fully mesmerised by my 'new' findings at the blogging world: Google AdSense!! And I FINNALY knows how to put an extra features (shoutbox, google search, ads, etc2) to my blog. I've been wondering for quite a while for that.. I'm never an internet tech junkie, you know..

Now I'm reading a material on how to promote my website, which could be a little difficult. Few tips from Steve Pavlina are to create valuable, original & timeless content. Things that my blog aren't. This could be a little tricky..

Anyway, just wish me goodluck, okay? :-D As my revenue (hopefully) grows I'll keep it posted in the blog. And don't forget to keep on clicking!! *big grin*

Many more interesting thing I read from his blog is this :
"While many entrepreneurs pursue money for the purpose of becoming wealthy, I choose a different route. I sought to earn money for the purpose of increasing my freedom."
and..
"Since the income generation is largely on autopilot, I can focus my time and energy on creating content instead of on doing marketing or trying to sell something."

This is so 100% true!! THIS is the term I've been looking for each time I talked about money and ambition with my friends. My friends took me as ambitious, but I feel more like needing more money to have more freedom in doing things I love. And having an income generation on autopilot, I've always wanted that. Not because I'm lazy, but mainly for me to have more time focusing on things that I like most (that can generates a whole lot of money, of course..)

And another good one is this :
"The funny thing is that the less I rely on money, the more of it I seem to have "
The above sentence might have something to do with the Secret. And again, it's 100% true.

And so, again, wish me all the best in venturing this new world of internet blog money-digging, and hope to see you again in the next post talking about my outstanding revenues ;-)

All the glitter and glam from working for the Government (PNS) has seduced almost 6million Indonesian people with bachelor degree into applying for any position available. Not to mention the ones with no degree-- they have to find a way to somehow, managed to get the bachelor diploma, whatever it takes. Money will make sure that hard work won't have anything to do with it.

I wanted a good life, I wanted to have loads, even tonnes of money, but I want to earn it the right way. At least for me. My Dad is a PNS, and I'm grateful for his love, for everything he has done for me, and I know he's a very good father, a wonderful person, and never a corruptor. It's just when you're working for the Government, it'll be dead hard to avoid receiving such money. It's inevitable.

I'll choose to carve my own path and leaving the easy road. May God be my guide along the way.. :-)

Money, that is. The very thing that makes the world go round. I hate how we're becoming so dependant to it; and how we've given up our morals, our personal pleasure, our dreams and hope for happiness, just in pursue of money. And I hate how even I, are thinking that I'll be very happy if I can get certain amount of money. A part of me are damn well know that happiness comes from within, not outside. And money won't make me happy.

I wanted to live my life the way I want it, fulfilling my passion, doing only things that makes me happy, be with the ones I love and loves me.. But somehow money holds them back from me.. :-(

As many as it has come across my mind, which one's better :

1. To be filthy rich by just marrying a rich, handsome and loving guy; or
2. Stop day dreaming, live my life, do my best and go with the flow.

Of course, as always, a girl would always want to be saved.
But the world's sucks, and I (am forced to opt) for #2. And within that #2, came other options. That is, to live your life with :

1. Active income
2. Passive income

To me both are equal. That's the beauty of life, you have your choices. You could just opt for anything you like, depends on what are your considerations.
And as for me, my ultimate consideration is HAPPINESS.

MY happiness, is when... :

1. I am free to do what I like (which happen to be the things I can do best), and be appreciated for it. I am grateful to have it all now. And get paid for it also. Other than that, is the immeasurable satisfaction of being a creator.. *LOL*
2. Have someone to love.
3. Have the time to relax and smell the roses.
4. The inevitable capitalist world’s highest demand: M-O-N-E-Y

And with that came the heart of this story, which has brought me to write all of these nonsense.

An old friend came up to me and offer me this new business, so-called “The Business of the Future”. Hell, there’s a good probability that they’re right, but frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

But there’s one thing about me that they couldn’t seem to understand, that money, is the last thing on my list of the things that can make me happy.

And they, being a Marketer, offering only MONEY as their main goal, would never interest me. Well, at least they’re not talking abt things I can understand, nor things that I really interested at (see the above list).

So I should say that ppl would always have different priorities, passion and interest. And I was just disappointed in meeting a very incapable Marketer who doesn’t really see, understand and respects these basic differences.

Can’t they just accept that they have failed?

But I know I’m not an easy case so they should just practice more..
