Is Wearing a Watch Still Essential Today ?

Is wearing a watch still essential today ?

For some people, the answer might be no while remaining might say yes. As we are living in modern day today, we can easily check the time through our mobile phone, computer, tablet and even a micro wave.

Let's take a few moment back in time, where the only way to check the time is only through traditional watch, then it become essential.

If we speak about wrist watch in particular, it was derived from pocket watch, started after the end of World War I and inline with the development of airplane. At that time pilots need to use the watch to calculate and navigate their bearing during the flight, it was difficult to check their pocket watch while controlling the plane, hence they modified pocket watch into wrist watch by adding nylon or leather straps on it.

Today we can consider that wrist watch is the only accessory or jewelry that normally can be used by a man (gentleman). So the answer for the tittle of this blog would depends on how do we appreciate and look into it, there is no right or wrong answer.

Perwira dan Ksatria by Gong 2000 Ost. Perwira Ksatria

Lagu yang cukup bisa membuat mood booster yang merupakan OST film Perwira Ksatria (Top Gun) versi Indonesia, dibuat pada tahun 1991 ... Sewaktu Indonesia baru membeli 1 Skadron F-16 A/B ...















Berpacu dengan matahari,
tuk meraih cita-cita..
Buktikan aku yang terbaik,
ataukah menjadi kecoak..

Semangatku menggilas halang rintang..
Otak ku pacu meraih prestasi..

Merah putih, janjiku,
kugenggam sampai mati..
Lelahku, lindungi,
negeriku Indonesia..

Skuadron ku menunggu kata ser-bu..
Melesat elang tembus musuh negeri..

Merah putih, janjiku,
kugenggam sampai mati..

Jiwaku, ragaku,
untukmu Indonesia!

Darahku, tulangku,
bagimu Indonesia..

Sumpahku, setiaku,
padamu Indonesia..!!

Indonesia!!!

Quarterly Business Review

18 July 2013 is the date when I must presenting regular business review analysis in front of customer, or usually we call it 'Quarterly Business Review'. 

Doing business presentation was the very first time for me, not only the first time after I joined Cisco, but first time for me ever. Previously I was used to presenting limited materials that related to technical stuff in particular details. But now, I must presenting the tings in a bit wider scope.

Hence the contents are focused on high level operational perspective, that cover certain period of business time in quarter basis (every 3 months). To elaborate the data, I have raw data ready in hand, provided by my colleague in the region. At first, it seems that it is too difficult, as I have to convert and translate all the numbers into data and statistics. To be honest, dealing with numbers is one of my weakness ... For your information I just got D for my calculus in my collage, what a shame !

So, one week before the date ... I was very loaded with preparations, I just got one time opportunity to do one-on-one shadowing with my senior team member and one time dry run session with internal team, corrections-update, corrections-update, and bla bla bla ... Lesson learned here are, I need to improve my skills in terms of attention to details, to have better broad and deep understanding into a thing, last but not least excellent presentation and communication skill ...
