The Itochu Culture

I come across an Instagram post about the work culture at the Japanese, 'ITOCHU'. One thing that cought my attention is its approaches to reducing excessive work culture, employees are not allow to continue working after 8:00 p.m., while those who arrive earlier receive additional pay and breakfast benefits. I then thought to myself, “Apparently, this is the kind of work culture that suits me.” In fact, without realizing it, I have been following a similar pattern in my daily life for quite some time. I prefer to start my activities early in the morning, finish my work earlier, and, whenever possible, avoid making late nights a regular time for working. I simply never know that this kind of approach is also part of the work culture of a major company like ITOCHU. And there is one more thing that made me smile. My life algorithm have always follow one simple principle, the earlier the morning, the stronger the momentum. For me, morning is not simply the time to start working. It...

When the Dry Season Teaches Us About Gratitude

This year’s hot and dry season feels unusually long. Day after day, the heat seems to intensify. Some rivers and lakes are beginning to dry up, the grass is starting to die, and the risk of wildfires is becoming increasingly high. What struck me today was seeing people gathering in large numbers, carrying jerry cans to collect water from wells that still have water available. It reminded me once again that the things we often take for granted are actually extraordinary blessings. Water flowing from the tap. Electricity running. Communication signals being available. Fuel being readily accessible. We often only realize how important something is when it becomes difficult to obtain. Imagine, Allah has only brought a small change in natural conditions—prolonged heat—and it is already enough to disrupt many aspects of human life. Water becomes scarce, electricity can go out, communication networks can be disrupted, and even fuel can become difficult to find. Perhaps this is not only about ...

Insidious: Out of the Further — 8/10

Image
This was my first time watching an American horror film. I’ve always been somewhat reluctant to watch Western horror movies. When it comes to scary films, I usually prefer movies from Southeast Asia or Korea. Perhaps it’s because, for me, Asian horror films feel more closely connected to familiar cultures, myths, and stories. Even in terms of scariness, I think Southeast Asian films often have their own unique ways of making viewers shiver. However, Insidious: Out of the Further managed to change my perspective. This was my first time watching an Insidious film, so I still had to familiarize myself with its world and story. I only recently found out that the film also has several previous installments that are connected to one another. Even so, as a way to spend my free time, this film was quite enjoyable. It doesn’t rely solely on jumpscares; it also has a storyline that made me curious to find out what was really happening. Personal rating: 8/10 For those who enjoy horror films and w...

A Lesson in Humility

Going through a day filled with blessings is, in itself, a gift worth being grateful for. For me, Friday is a day to rest. After several exhausting days, I sometimes choose not to push myself too hard. I take the time to slow down, to check my motorcycle, clean the house, or simply stay home and enjoy a quiet moment. When I start to feel boring, I may occasionally turn my driver account back on and return to the road to earn a living. We do not always have to chase everything at once. There is a time to work, and there is also a time to pause and rest. But what touch me most today is the Friday sermon at Raodatul Jannah Mosque. The sermon remind me of something we often fail to recognize, our human ego. Sometimes, we think we are better than others.We feel smarter. More successful. More experienced. More charitable. And sometimes, without realizing it, we may even feel closer to God. Yet when our hearts begin to say, “I am better than him,” perhaps that is precisely when we need to ref...
