Bambang, I really appreciate your "sense of humor" or is it "sarcasm"?

I can assure you I am an optimist that is why i work daily warning people that they better change or they will be changed (inspired by Jack Welch "Control Your Destiny" ).

Hey, wrinkles look good on you, don't you know that? I have wrinkles and lots of people believe me more and love me more (specially the ladies) - probably they think I am a wiser person (how some people get fooled by appearances :P )

Nice talking to you Bambang. You certainly make my day - you changed the weather outside (sunshine in Padang), you changed my mood (now it is shining). So you see, you brought some changes into a person's life (mine). God bless you. That certainly is progress.

Thanks.

That is right Chow. We humans are created as never ending changing creatures. Do you know that every nanosecond millions of our brain cells die and are replaced with new ones? That means humans are new creatures by the second, no by the nanosecond. Chow 5 minutes ago is different than Chow now. Same with abdulrudsmit. As you read my comments here you are changing. The way we think change as we move forward in time.

Anyway, change is inevitable. If we follow the law of the universe we will change for the good of ourselves. Unfortunately, the bad is also in everyone of us. The bad can change to good but also increase in intensity and volume. So, we have a choice. To what end do we want to change?

Hopefully our choice is for the good. Progress denotes good not bad.

Seems you know a lot about "change". Why don't you join us to discuss other issues in this lovely forum. There are hundreds of topics are being discussed at the moment. And there are hundreds of crazy, ugly, poor, weird members in this forum waiting for your comments. Why don't you put forward your opinions so that you can change those crazy, ugly, poor, weird people.

For your information, just between us, I am the craziest, ugliest, poorest, weirdest of all. Yeah, I am the worst of all. Let's see whether you can change us or not. Or you might be even worse than me!

i really don't know exactly all change is progress , i' ve spend 2 years dificult time , when we say goodbye eachother, and lost my job, now i still get lost ,try finding new job , and something sometime i feel disappointed.everything 's not advantage over me
but i 've spend that time to learn other skill, anybody you tell me that is the progress?
at my age , now i'm 40 yeas old , have to begin again

For Bambang,

Do you know that to understand crazy and weird people you have to be also crazy and weird?
Yes sir, I accept your invitation to join other topics but I can not promise that I will always be active because PLN and Speedy must also change first. Sometimes I can not go on because electricity is off, meaning internet is off, and at times speedy turns slowdy (is there such a word? ) but yes, I will soon. Thanks for the compliment.

For Trinho,

Indeed change is not always good. I experienced that myself. Being out of a job is definitely no good. But how about changing your paradigm? Instead of looking for a job you create a job for yourself. I am sure that you have skills and hobbies that you can turn into a profession. Thus, earning an income. For example, I love to talk and write. When people don't give me jobs anymore (maybe because they think I am too old or because I am expensive) I decided to change and become a trainer and public speaker. True enough, now I work doing something I love to do. The income is even better than when I was working for something.

Trinho, decide to change yourself first - the rest will follow. That kind of change is welcomed change. Trust me. Try it.
It is never easy making the first step but once you begin everything else becomes easier. Good luck my friend.

By the way, I am 57 years old and I was unemployed for almost 10 years. Now I feel younger than you or even Bambang.

"Life begins at 40", some say.

And you're not the only old man in this forum. Welcome to my boat, my fellow old man.

Excuse me, is this the change of your attitude? Who are those members, anyway? I've looked around and I don't see any ugly people here.

Except Hardi

You don't have any mirror in your household isn't? Vampire Lady. Or maybe it's just that there is too dark in your side, that you can't see your self from mirror very well.

Still cuter than you. That's a change you need to acknowledge now.

Love's in the air.
So far, there's no change. Hope it lasts long.

All change is not always progress.
In my opinion, change is a chance or challenge. With change or challenge, we can use it to develope or destroy our life. Finally, we just can hope our life more better after we set our vision, planning, and hard-work to make the progress coming true.

Thankyou so much for your interesting advice, sir !
i agree that you told right , with a man who have educational certificate or university degree like you is easier than people who have not finish highschool. although,such a human being, we have to struggle to exist,and the first step is not easy for me to accept that situation. it take me a long time to forget and to find a new way. and i think in anyway i have to do to earn income , do a new job not involve my career with a cheap salary ,as long as i have a job and have a time to learn new skill and have fun

:) yes ,I agree with the upstairs
