Be young!

 Good evening everyone!

Are you feeling good today? Well, I hope you so. My mood is so good today. Because I do a little exercise and it makes me feel so fresh. It’s been a long time since I didn’t do any exercises. You know, to stay healthy is not just by controlling your meals and your time to take a rest, but you have to do some exercises too. Don’t be lazy! You can do a little exercise as I did. I played my hula-hoop then I stretched my hand and foot then I walked around my house. Actually I wasn’t walking around but I bought some meals on foot. I usually buy some meals by motorcycle, but today is different. I wanna be more active guys. Because I’m young, so I don’t wanna act like I’m old.

I actually wake up late today because I started to sleep at 4 a.m. You know, it’s a bad time to have a good quality of sleep. But ya I just couldn’t sleep early because I wasn’t sleepy and my eyes didn’t wanna close. I woke up at 11 p.m. after that I checked my phone as a Z Generation’s habit. You know guys if we are in Z generation? Before us, there was Millennial, before that was X Generation and there was Baby Boomer too. And now we are in Alpha Generation until 2025. Do you know what it’s mean? These generations are classified by our born years. Every generation has a different culture. What are the differences? Well, just find out by yourself dude.

Besides that, we live in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 where the Internet is common to us. But in our education system, not all of our teachers apply it in our daily study-life. Most of them still using the traditional way.  Nowadays, you can see if we have to learn at home because of the Covid-19. It’s not gonna be effective if teachers don’t control us. Then how could they control us when we just stay at home? For sure, we have to study by using the technology named the internet. There are so many features and applications such as Google meet, Zoom, Skype even IG’s Live. We have to use it effectively. But the problem is not all of us get the education on how to use IT or other elements of the internet itself. So many people around us are still ‘gaptek’ or lack of knowledge in IT. And those people didn’t try to find another alternative way to learn it. What they do with their gadget or their smartphone is just playing on it. Playing it for games, for social media, or just for other entertainment without learning anything or improve their skills. Like Marcuse said in his The One Dimensional Man’s book, the technology must inspire and improve human skills. But what is the reality? Technology make us fool. The irony is people don’t feel it. They don’t feel the stupid things that they did right now. They just take it for granted. So, start from now, trying to ask yourself about what are you doing right now? Is your activity useful or useless? Is your activity can lead you to reach your dream in the future?

Well, it’s okay to play games if one day you wanna be a programmer. And it’s also okay if you wanna watch youtube all day long if one day you’re gonna be part of them or you watch the educational channel (you have to make sure if it’s educated you in a positive way). If not! Then make a limit for it. Encourage yourself to do something useful then you’ll be smarter and can climb the stairs to reach your dream.

OMG! What I’ve just been saying. I’m not trying to be sarcasm or teach you or being your parents all of sudden. I do apologize if you think so while I don’t mean it. It just a story that I got from people around me and I think, that habit is not good to be continued and I hope no one will do the same things.

Just it for today and Go prepare for your Monday!

Cheer,

Nica
