Would you just watch a friend suffer even when you have no idea what to do? It like helping a friend that is depressed and yet they dont reveal anything about their condition. Being left in the dark while watching as they suffer. The hypocrisy of humans; we want to help and dont want help in return. For those that know we well know that I over-think to the max. Along with the fact that i can read the body language of most people, this becomes a serious problem. Everyone's emotions are right in view and sometimes it seems that walking right up to them and screaming at them about how you feel is the only way to make everything right. I would never have the guts to do that because i just know that i wouldnt be able to handle the humiliation after the confrontation. Imagine walking up to your ex-boyfriend and just yelling at him about everything that went wrong in the relationship - doesnt paint a pretty picture does it?

Over-thinking is somewhat a disease that is enstilled in the female population. This is evident when relationships are broken due the insecurity of the female half. I cannot conclude that women are the only people that over-think - i know a certain male that overthinks himself. {Anyone up for playschool?} It seems that i now have much more time to think as i have to travel for 20 minutes to get to work and i also have 15 minutes in the morning when i walk to school eating my apple. :) Just ask anyone and you will find that my thoughts are so complex and that when they connect, it makes no sense whatsoever. I wouldnt throw away this brain however, it makes me question everything and it makes me think outside the box. My appreciation for design and colour is brought on by this abstract way of thinking - i appreciate it.

Questions that i would like some answers to, or at least be less confused about, or that just pop into my head due to my inept of keep on track and going on 'tangents'.

• If humans are indeed the most complex and smart organisms on the earth then what would the most simple one be?
• The hypocrisy of humans - is this innate or is it built up from childhood?
• Why does the forbidden appeal to us so much?
• What exactly distinguishes hate and love and if there really is a line between the two?
• Why the hell school is so damn compulsory and why principals are such superior figures?
• What would have happened if females were the more masculine figure and men were the feminine ones {fesculine & meminine}?
• Why, even living through just 15 years, people want to commit suicide?
• Why people write things in a public place and expect that it will never be read?
• Why lying is so easy for some people and hard for others?

I'm blank for thoughts, maybe because i'm listening to a voice which is just so adorable. Risque by Cute is What We Aim For. Oooo, listen to Heels Over Heads by Boys Like Girls. :D

Bon Voyage - the goodbye that i want to be long forgotten.

Seorang negosiator yang ulung dapat mengatasi berbagai macam tekanan untuk terwujudnya kemenangan dalam negosiasi. Kadang tak perlu mengalahkan lawan tapi kemenangan bersama (win-win solution) adalah hal yang sulit diraih.

Seorang manajer perusahaan dituntut mampu bernegosiasi dengan menggunakan berbagai macam teknik. Salah satu tekniknya adalah Higher Authority untuk mengunci penawaran. Itulah yang dilakukan oleh Menkominfo ketika bertemu dengan para Blogger tempo hari.

Pak Nuh mengatakan bahwa ini instruksi Presiden, dengan demikian menutup ruang diskusi negosiasi. Tekanan dari dalam berupa kecaman atas pemblokiran YouTube dan teori teori yang dikemukakan beberapa Blogger bahwa YouTube tidak akan menyerah.

Pak Nuh tetap pada keputusannya, sebuah ketahanan dalam bernegosiasi. Bukti pada Wikipedia yang tak mau menutup halamannya tak membuatnya bergeming. Ketika ada pertanyaan sampai kapan, Pak Nuh menjawab sampai YouTube  menghapus film itu. Semua pihak pesimis YouTube akan memenuhi permintaan Menkominfo.

Hingga akhirnya Google dalam hal ini pemilik YouTube merespon dengan sebuah tawaran. Depkominfo menerima tawaran itu yang walau tidak memenuhi tuntutan teknis semula namun telah memenuhi tuntunan politis dan psikologis.

Inilah negosiasi, bahkan seorang Presiden sebenarnya bisa menggunakan gambit Higher Authority asalkan tahu caranya. Sebentar lagi saya harus menghadap ke Manajer sebuah divisi perusahaan client tempat saya bekerja sebagai konsultan. Desas desus mengatakan mereka ingin menawar harga, pilihannya tak usah buka ruang diskusi negosiasi atau temui tapi harus menghadapi tekanan. Wish me luck.
