Days after days, the chance to have a solitude moment has become more and more precious. Especially in the very hectic past week, and next week which is expected to become another hectic week, the solitude moment I have this evening is sure welcome.

My solitude time doesn’t need to be in quiet calm place. My favorites are always a place with good music, coffee and good book. I went to Bakoel Koffee, a modern coffee shop in an old building in Cikini.

I wasn’t accompanied by a good book this evening, due tomorrow. Well… no problem, the good coffee is there, good music is there, and I need some inspiration for the presentation.

Presentation done, I went home with a smile. Definitely the best 2 hours in the middle of hectic weeks

Being a person with extra high self confidence, I seldom call for help. My weak point probably, trying to do too much things, and accept lower quality of work. But this is not acceptable in corporate world, where you need to cooperate to get bigger things done.

My boss somehow can smell it when I’m overloaded, and forgot to call for help. Having reminded by him made me think… what is the bad things that can happen when you call for help?

First, nobody can or willing to help you. Nothing happens, things didn’t get better nor get worse. Some said that at least you try.

Second, people will perceive you as weak. You still get the help needed, won’t die because of that, and maybe can still learn something from those who helped me.

Third, you might get some help from wrong person, who done the job below your quality that you’d better do the work yourself.  Things are also didn’t getting worse – at least you have someone to do one task while you do other. In the end you will ahve 1 superb work, done by yourself, and 1 below standard work, done by your friend, still better than 1 superb work when you have nobody to help.

Two outcome is better, while 1 has no impact. Next time remind me to call for help.
