Traffic Jam in Jakarta
They say
the old living in Jakarta on the road. The trip normally be taken within 10 to
15 minutes, it takes two hours, and even more. Normal size was changed. And we
also must have the size of each in terms of the estimated time in order to get
to the office on time, not late at meetings, or even that the pair do not get
angry because we are late picking. Everything has become our daily diet.
Jakarta is like a breath of people jammed. Tired? It is certain. Every day.
Angry? Often. But if everything can reduce congestion and instantly make
Jakarta into town with regular traffic? The answer, of course not. And we can
do is be grateful and enjoy reality in ways that we have. Because as the saying
goes, life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to
dance in the rain.
This
paper was devoted to it. We will try to see the congestion of different
glasses. If we've always seen jamming with minus glasses, this time we will try
to see it with sunglasses. Glasses are more positive, relaxed, and happy. The
next question is, how can a positive, relaxed, or happy if reality always makes
us go up congestion of blood every day? The key is how we are grateful and
believe that there is always wisdom behind every event, including behind the
jam.
First
Lessons: Enjoy the music.
Let's
calculate how much money we have to spend to buy our CD collections (original
CD certainly yes, not pirated). Or maybe how much debt we have to pay the bank
for the credit card swipe to purchase the songs that eventually rotated in our
iPods. With the congestion, it means we have more time to enjoy your music
collection that we have. Even until memorized the lyrics!
Lessons
second: Chat.
Stuck in
the car for hours so there will certainly be felt if there is another person
who was with us in the same car. Because we will spend the time to talk here.
And for that again upset, this moment can be utilized as much as possible to
vent.
Third
Wisdom: Self-examination.
If the
case is that we are stuck in traffic alone, then we have no other choice but to
silence or singing (not playing phone!). But besides those two things, in fact
we can also use this moment to reflect, introspection, or think of a way out of
the problem at hand. But be careful, do not daydream, later collided with the
car ahead or still stop when other cars are already street.
Fourth
Wisdom: Sleep.
Instead
of cursing busy, in fact we can use our time who wasted many hours on the road
to something more useful, namely sleep. Paying bedtime we were cut off due to
late or too many agendas along.
This can
be done if we use public transport, with the remain vigilant against our
luggage of course. Or if you use a private car, meaning the condition is that
there must be someone else driving us. If the drive is a spouse or friend us,
then make sure we already told them that we would sleep. Because if not, it has
the potential to offend. Driver suspected of times!
Lessons
fifth: Dandan.
For
people with daily activities dense and high mobility, traffic jam will be very
useful for grooming or change clothes. for the latter, make sure we are not in
the public transport, or in a car with a glass brightly lit, as it could
potentially disrupt public order.
Besides
those already mentioned, there is always a lot of wisdom or other ways that we
can take or use to enjoy our routines. Whatever it is, it all returned to our
respective choices. Because life is about choosing, right? Every day we are
faced with a variety of options for us to take, ranging from choosing the lunch
menu, choose clothes for ngedate, to choose to be exposed to jam itself. Where
we actually can choose to not hit that jammed with home office over night,
passing street rat, or maybe ride motorcycles.
However,
we are the one who chose to live with congestion. We who choose to live in
Jakarta at the time we actually have a choice to go. So what made us decide to
stay? The answer is love. Love towards our house. Love the livelihood of our
fields. Love towards our playground.
We love
to Jakarta, with all its advantages and disadvantages.
Say it
out loud: I HEART JAKARTA!
