Business

Anyone ever thought about having or establishing a business? It's not that you continue your parents' business, but merely you create your own. To be honest, this is exactly what I've been thinking about.

There are two kinds of business that I desire to establish:
1. COFFEE HOUSE
2. MAGAZINE CORPORATION
Well, apparently I suddenly feel like to have these kinds of business because of being inspired by some evidences in my life. I end up choosing them just simply because in my opinion, they are very interesting for me to do.

Let's discuss about this start from THE COFFEE HOUSE.

I've started to come to coffee shop since I was in 12th grade, in High School. I was just hanging out with my friends as we were enjoying the coffee there. To be honest, it's not that I'm such a coffee lover, but as for me, the coffee tasted good.

Actually, the best part that a coffee shop has it offers to us is that the cozy and relaxing atmosphere. We can enjoy spending time there together with friends as we are having chit-chat with, laughing and also: gossiping ^^. It's true that my friends and I love gossiping a lot. LoL.

This is what exatcly has inspired me so that I have a dream to also have a coffee shop (coffee house) like that. I know it's not easy to create one, but I will surely collect money until one day I can establish one.

I've discussed this with 2 of my friends, and I've inferred that there are obstacles I have to face if I really want to establish a coffee house:
1. Concept and Idea
2. Tools / Instruments
3. Employee and EXPERT STAFFS
4. Menu
5. Strategic Location

and the most urgent & crucial one is

6. FUND

Those six points are problems that I have to deal with if I really want to have a coffee house. Moreover, I don't know how to create a business proposal (I don't even know whether or not it's needed). I also have no idea how I have to start this business.

My next issue is about establishing a MAGAZINE CORPORATION. I don't know when the first time I exactly felt that I wanted to have this kind of business, but surely there are things inspired me.

You know I love reading a lot. It can be Novel, Comic / Manga, Literature, Encyclopedia, Poetry, Drama, Science, Magazine, Newspaper, or even just Simple Articles. It can be anything as long as I can read them and they are interesting for me to read. Nevertheless, since 3 years ago I've realized that I like to write. I don't know why but I always end up enjoying time when I'm writing about something. I just feel that Writing is so much interesting and exciting, just like reading.

Honestly, some magazines such as HIGHENDteen and ANIMONSTER, and also some movies such as CONFESSION OF A SHOPAHOLIC are ones that somehow managed to inspire me to have a MAGAZINE COMPANY. However, I suppose that the obstacles I will have to face here are the same as my COFFEE HOUSE dream's obstacles. So pathetic, isn't it?

I, however, if someday I can collect enough money and colleagues, I will surely establish my these 2 dreams. I will surely do.

Anyway, I found two good articles. One is about coffe shop, and one is about magazine corporation.

Resolutions for 2011

Sorry for being late to post the resolutions I wish I will be able to achieve in this new year, 2011. There've been lots of things messed up my mind 'till now that I can't focus on what to do.

Anyway, Merry Christmas 2010 and Happy New Year 2011. Sorry if I've got nothing special in my greetings.

Okay, let's just get to the point, I've been thinking on what resolutions I really desire in this year. I will simply put it then:
  • I want to stop having pessimistic expectation. I always end up to be so pessimistic in many things I do. I know I can't keep going this way otherwise I will be lacking of motivation in trying to strive. TRY TO BE OPTIMISTIC.

  • I want to be much much much more diligent than what I am now. I've realized that I'm still in lazy state, after all. I need to improve myself if I really want to achieve many things that I always desire for. I don't know how to be but I just want to be.

  • I want to stop having bad and negative perception about people around me. It's me the one who is too sensitive that I end up thinking negative upon others. I want to try to have more positive thinking about anything happen involving me and others.

  • I want to stop having habit to blame on something, someone, and myself. This is terribly my very bad habit and I really want to stop it. I really have to learn to forgive, anyway.

  • I want myself to stand up against temptation to waste money. First of all I will want to make an arrangement about my financial income and outcome, then I also want to try to be economical. I just think that my family's financial condition doesn't suit for me to be so consumptive. Well, being consumptive is never good, after all.

  • I want to be more patient to face problems. I have to deal with things in more peaceful mood so that I won't make mistake in choosing my steps.

  • I want to be able to manage my time much better. If I can't, I will simply fall down and fail in many ways and aspects. That's why this is so crucial. I know that so far I can't do it properly. That's why I will have to try to repair myself. Especially since there are lots of things I really would like to do, including my hobbies and things I wanna do.

Probably that's all my resolution for 2011 for now. If there is any important thing I have to add, then I'll do so. Anyway, to be honest, I've failed to reach all of my resolutions for the first 10 days in 2011. I really wish I can totally reach them all. Those are my current goals for present, and I know they will support myself from inside in order to reach my goals for future. So that's why I have to be able to be all as in my resolutions.

Anyway, I also have eagerness I want to be able to reach in this year. Some of will contradict my resolutions, anyway. Such as having Blackberry so that I can keep in touch with Stevano easily, purchasing some clothes and accessories, and also to make my body a little bit thick (as I'm way too thin). This is probably pretty confusing but that's exactly what come to mind so far about what I wish I can repair myself on and what I eager. However, I never prioritize this selfish part of me. If I can get 'em, it will be considered as bonus for me. ^^

One more thing: I hope I can have a very long holiday that I can spend time with my either Middle School friends or High School friends. and as the start, I wish I can come to the Jazz Nite at CC on February, 12th. That surely will be so glad for me if I can.
