The Art of Incompleteness

“Wabi-sabi” adalah sebuah ungkapan Jepang mengenai keindahan sebuah objek terlepas dari ketidaksempurnaan dan ketidakselesaian bentuk dari objek tersebut.

Apa yang terlihat adalah sebuah kejujuran dari objek yang polos, tidak ada rasa menghakimi mengenai kegunaan dan maksud dari pembuatannya.

Rasa tersebut muncul karena penerimaan emosional akan kelangsungan diantara awal dan akhir. Penerimaan mengenai apa yang harus terjadi dan apa yang telah terjadi. Penerimaan dari hasil sebuah pembentukan yang berusaha hadir diatas bumi. Tumpahan karya yang berasal dari seleksi alam dan waktu.

Kesadaran akan, kadang, kita tidak perlu segalanya untuk meraih kebahagiaan (keindahan). Sederhana dan iklhas.

Picking team members.

When it comes to team-hiring moment, I often suggest to my fellow colleague that they should pick person with a great willingness to learn instead of the smart one. Not everyone in classroom or college is smart, smart people is rare. Although there’s one, they’d prefer to join to another group of smart people too.

This case is occasionally affects the confidence of not—too—smart people because they didn’t feel could won any competition or finish any project without super member inside their team.

Having one super member in the team is good, really good. But smart is relative. Because smart is not a guarantee that the person will work well or work with same determination and balance with other team member.

So, pick a person with a great willingness to learn, high determination to challenge every problem and have the same level of excitement as you are. Don’t get blind just because you’re seeking a super member to ‘secure’ your team.
