Yesterday, I spent almost 2 hours in the traffic from my house to office which is only 14 km away.
It won’t surprise you –I believe – for you who have come down to Jakarta.
To kill the time, I often fill my heads with music using my Nokia N70 phone.

N70 did really come up with good headset so we could enjoy the music. I really like it. The sound is clear, and I could enjoy the base play of my favorite songs.

Quite embarrassing truth is that I just found it out 3 months ago while I have been using the phone almost for a year. What a shame actually J. I got fancy thing in my hand and I didn’t use for quite some time just because I didn’t try it earlier. It was like a “hidden” treasure on my backyard which is just unearthed.

It actually teaches me lesson: We can NOT capitalize what we don’t have… or what we are unaware of. In my case, it’s only easy music listening that I lost for the past several months. But what if, you have something big inside yourself which you are unaware of. The consequence might be bigger then. What if you have voice as good as Melinda Doolittle but you don’t sing? What if you have such a plant in your old man’s house but don’t know that it is the expensive Anturium?

Well, then in order to get the maximum value we need to explore ourselves, identifying our potentials & growing them. Explore yourself…

  • What do you think are your potentials?

    • What are you good at?

    • What do you love to do?

  • What other says about you . . . ?

    • What do they think your potentials are

    • What suggestions they have for you to develop your potentials

  • Unearth it: Try, and Try and Try

    • Try various new activities: E.g. singing, dancing, cooking, teaching, speaking, diving, surfing, rock-climbing, writing

    • When was the last time you learned/started doing new things?

    •  Expose yourself to various opportunities e.g. involved in various social activities.

  • Check it in the context of your respective market:

    • What are the hot items (of high value) there? 

    • Do you have it?

    • How could you then increase your value?

You might then be surprised of your hidden treasure just uncovered.  Share us your thoughts.  
Happy Exploring!!!
