Last year, I decided to develop new personality which I called it No Hesitation personality. The goal is to make myself enjoy my life more than ever, by putting more impulse into my decisions, or simply put no hesitation to every choice in my life. The first mission was to be enrolled in one exchange program provided by my university. After several attempt, several interview, and several decline, I managed myself to get my exchange period. It was the best, I learnt how to speak English as an everyday language including it slangs, learnt social sciences (originally I study engineering), discussed new things with new people from around the globe. It was amazing. The side effect is that I need to postpone my study in the original university. I wont be able to graduate in the same time as my friends will do. I was anxious at first, but one says the first time always rough. Now Im glad I took the chance. It affects my personality to become a person who accepts more challenges and chances in the life. The biggest thing is now Im able to enjoy myself and my life more than ever. I really enjoy learn something bigger than I have learnt yesterday. As well as I enjoy make new friends and maintain old connections. This might be simple words that almost everyone knows how to says, but not everyone is able to do it as they might want to do it. There are some challenges ahead if one wants to do thing like this. For example, mastering how to chat with new friends by keeping the excitement and curiosity, what to talk, etc. Besides internal cause like I mentioned, one must know or able to understand what is going on in the world today, yesterday, or might happen tomorrow. Understand the pop culture that might be shared with other youth is a plus. I will not say it put no effort. One must catch up with what is going on in the world, means that one must receive information worldwide, while maintain local connection with local friends. Im proud to say that I did that, and I am the part of global-connected generation, while I still maintain to mingle with local friends. I would love to learn about the culture in Japan. I am interested in work culture of urban Japanese, as well as traditional culture of other Japanese. I would like to learn how the people work to solve their urban and rural problem. Everyone knows that Japanese are good at it. They put a lot of effort and integrity to what they do. I also would love to learn about the culture. I want to learn about Shinto and Zen Buddhism (Mahayana) which taught among the people in old Japanese. To learn about local religion and wisdom like this would increase my wisdom to solve social problem in my community, as well as improving my life afterwards.
