Tunduk saat naik, tegak saat turun!
Nothing worth having comes easy.

How come you never rest your tongue?
How do you ever expect to learn?
I know you want to chase it
But don’t want to break your stride
I know you want to taste it
But don’t want to waste your mind
I know you want to try it so go and dive in
Taste it, like it
They’ve got you so excited
You want to climb in
Taste the violence…
There’s just one problem with this solution: We naturally fear the unknown.
So much so that studies of basic human nature show that we fear an unknown outcome more than a known bad one. We’re actually willing to hurt ourselves just to avoid facing the unknown.
It’s why bad habits are so hard to break: We prefer the devil we know.
I’m sorry to tell you, but you’re in a bubble.
It’s a bubble made up not only of the work you do, but your friends, the books you read, and your day-to-day routine.
It’s a bubble built from the meals you make each week.
It’s your Monday/Wednesday/Friday gym schedule.
It’s the route you take to work or the favorite coffee shop you write in on Sundays.
Yes, all those things are your bubble.
Your bubble is the safety net you surround yourself with every single day. It’s the routines and schedules that make your life stay stable and on track.
And yes, your bubble is also the building blocks of happiness, meaning, and even creativity. But it’s also a wall — one that separates mediocrity and greatness and that gets harder and harder to cross the higher you build it.
As Japanese author Haruki Murakami puts it:
“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
A lack of conviction, doubt, I think it’s something that nature serve to us. It’s a part of human beings. A nature driven variable.
Hence, should we still ask for any exact certainty for any terms of things? Yes, the safest answer is “it depends to the circumstances”.
Example 1. About the future, nobody know for sure about what their future, no one have a certain value to represents what their future will be, what we do is keep faith, love ourself, believe to ourself and try to always be prepared. Of course estimation were allowed.
Example 2. About how do you calculate the expected age of a building (without retrofitting) at the intense earthquake areas? Exact variable is easy to calculate, but if it involved nature, it’s getting uncertain. And the calculation became qualitative. Of course, estimation also allowed here.
Yet, uneven, uncontrolled situations and conditions will still flood us with booming variables. Case sensitive right?
The response of Example 1. circumstance seems to be a reliable one to deal with more universal nature-related problem. 😌
