Consciously Do — Walking with Intention, Effort, and Trust

-
Manusia tidak hidup dalam garis lurus. Dalam perjalanan hidupnya, ia bergerak, ragu, jatuh, bangun, lalu mencoba lagi. Bukan karena ia tidak mampu, tetapi karena hidup memang menuntut proses, bukan kepastian yang selalu rapi. Buku ini tidak ditulis untuk menjadikan manusia sempurna. Buku ini ditulis untuk menolong manusia hadir dengan sadar di setiap tahap hidupnya—baik saat yakin maupun saat ragu, saat kuat maupun saat merasa lelah. CDCG (Clarity, Discipline, Consistency, Grit) bukanlah panduan hidup yang menjanjikan jawaban atas semua persoalan. CDCG lebih merupakan sebuah usaha manusiawi agar seseorang memiliki arah yang cukup jelas untuk dijalani. Melalui kerangka ini, seseorang belajar menuliskan rencana hidup secara sadar, sehingga ia tahu kapan harus bergerak, kapan perlu melambat, kapan harus mempercepat usaha, dan kapan menyadari bahwa dirinya sedang tersesat. Tersesat bukanlah akhir dari perjalanan. Yang lebih berbahaya adalah terus berjalan tanpa kesadaran bahwa arah telah m...

HOMESCHOOL COLLABORATION: Discipline

-
Discipline plays a vital role in ensuring effective learning and character formation in school. For it to work well, it must be clearly understood and consistently supported by both the school and the home. When home and school send different signals, children struggle to understand which values truly matter. Effective discipline therefore requires a partnership—where the home reinforces the character, values, and habits taught in the classroom.   But what happens if parents undo it at home 1.        Children receive mixed signals At school: “This behavior is not acceptable.” At home: “It’s fine” or “The teacher is too strict.” Result: Children don’t learn values They learn context-switching: who can I get away with this with? 2.        Authority becomes negotiable When parents openly reverse school rules: Rules stop being principles They become opinions Children start ...

SIDE NOTES: Clarity vs Speed

-
Clarity is more powerful than speed. Because moving fast without clarity doesn’t always mean progress— sometimes, it just means exhaustion. Speed makes us feel productive. Clarity makes us effective. When things are unclear, slowing down is not a weakness. It’s a way of respecting direction. Once clarity is found, speed will follow—naturally. Slow is still progress Mr. Sai

Everyone Has Diffrent Clock

-
Starting earlier doesn’t always mean arriving wiser. Moving first doesn’t guarantee moving right. And not every race is meant for you to join. Everyone has a different clock. Some people are meant to explore early. Some are meant to arrive prepared. When it’s not your time yet, forcing speed only creates noise. When it is your time, even slow steps feel aligned—and doors open strangely fast. So if today you’re choosing patience over panic, clarity over comparison, that’s not delay—that’s discernment. Your time won’t need chasing. It will feel… inevitable. Slow is still progress Mr. Sai

Growing Well Is A Choice

-
How we live in old age depends on what we do today. Cardio or strength training—both are fine. Just do something to maintain what you have. What we eat today shapes our physical condition tomorrow. We never “have time” unless we choose to make it. It doesn’t have to be done all at once. Do it step by step. One move at a time. Slow is still progress. Mr. Sai

Home-School Collaboration: Day of Listening, Learning, and Partnership

-
Today was a full and productive day with the Upper Secondary Parent–Teacher Association (PTA). We began with a parenting seminar focused on the importance of two-way communication between parents and their children. The session highlighted how open dialogue can strengthen understanding and trust, and it also revealed some of the real challenges parents face when trying to communicate effectively with teenagers. Ibu Arie K. Dewi, the Parenting Training, delivered this attractively. At 13:30, we continued with a formal PTA meeting to socialize the upcoming Upper Secondary Symposium (SIMPONYCS). During this session, we shared the objectives, concept, and expected outcomes of the symposium, and emphasized the importance of PTA support to ensure its success. After concluding that meeting, we held another discussion with Grade 12 parents. This session focused on the Grade 12 Field Trip, covering key aspects such as planning, responsibilities, and coordination. The meeting was attended by...

Side Notes: Do it slowly. Enjoy the process.

-
Do it slowly. Enjoy the process. Most of what I gain from books doesn’t immediately turn into words. It stays in my mind first— settling, processed quietly, tested by time and experience. Only later does it come out: when I speak, when I share, or when it finally feels like the right time. This post is not meant to teach. It is simply sharing. For those who love reading, those who are just beginning to enjoy it, or those who prefer learning in smaller, quieter portions. Pelan saja. Knowledge also has its own timing. Mr. Sai
