You don’t need to sound American

“I fought my accent for so long,” Gadot says. “Like, I gotta sound more American. I was a little bit shy about my accent. Until I let it go. My dialect coach told me, ‘As long as you’re clear and understood, own it.’ …

When We Finally Met

What do you do when you get the chance to meet IRL someone you’ve known online? — Last week, I went to Singapore (by myself, for the first time!) to attend HubSpot’s GROW 2018. I stayed in a capsule hostel for the first time. I went to the conference by myself (for the first time), met amazing people from Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

There Are No Age Restrictions In Life

I’m that person who puts people into boxes based on their age. I hate to admit it, but it’s true. I remember that as a kid, I used to think I’m not allowed to do certain things because I’m still a kid. I’m not allowed to talk about certain topics…

Your parents are not always right

I used to think that my parents know everything. — That my family is the perfect example of everything. Everything is done the right way when it’s done in my family’s way. Other than my family’s way means weird and wrong. Last week I was meeting with my high school friends, two girls who were also close friends and went…

I Write in My Second Language

(Sometimes) I don’t care if I don’t sound natural. — As you can tell from my bio, I’m an Indonesian. My mother tongue is Bahasa Indonesia or Indonesian language. I’ve been introduced to the English language at school since I was 6, which was 16 years ago. It’s one of my favorite subjects (at one point in high school I…

This is the only habit I’ve successfully shaped

I love reading, mainly personal development books. In the past two years, I’ve read some classic titles like Mindset, Start With Why, The Power of Habit, and Miracle Morning. Right now I’m reading Grit. The problem with reading (too many) personal development books is you know what you should be…

Why do I write?

This is an honest answer to that question. — I have loved reading and writing since I was a kid. I was a quiet and shy little girl, not because I didn’t have things say, but because I was thinking. I was observing, pondering, taking mental notes of everything. I was wondering, then hesitating. I was in my head…

How do you know it’s time to specialize?

Sometimes you have to generalize first — I started freelancing on Upwork as an English-Indonesian translator. My first job was to translate travel-related content from English into Indonesian. It’s pretty easy, but I found myself get bored easily doing that. I looked around, wondering what everybody else is doing. Some people with technical skills can become designers…

This is how I spent my first two days in Vietnam

I hope it can be helpful for those of you who want to travel to Southeast Asia. Last month, on May 21–31 to be exact, me and my little sister went to Vietnam on our…
