My Ambition mapping

Every human must be have life purpose. Many people said it's dream. However, in this blog i will call it ambition. Why ambition? What's different with dream? The answer is same. It's a very strong hope that decided by our awareness. Dream=obsession=ambition. However, 'obsession' and 'dream' words has negative perception among society nowadays. Many people say "don't live in your dream" or "don't dreaming! Wake up". Obsession also has been abuse word. So, I choose 'ambition' because 'ambition' means energy or high motivation for us to reach a highest level in our life. It's my own opinion. If you have different opinion about that well, i don't mind. For me, ambition is like our track life. Once we decide our ambition, we will go straight to achieve that ambition. Ambition can be anything, it's up to you. Some people might said "you're too ambitious" or "don't life in your dream!" or "look yourself! It's so impossible" or "are you joke?don't be ridiculous man!". Well, you don't need to listen those people because ambition is yours! Ambition is your life purpose! It's your life and you're free to have ambition and decide it by yourself. I see a lot of success people like Thomas Alfa Edison (electricity founder), Alexander Graham Bell (telephone founder), Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs who doubted and dumped by people around him but they achieve their ambition. People like them, use people's doubt for their motivation and power to achieve their ambition. So, why we have to afraid to having ambition? In this opportunity, I would like to share my ambition mapping. It's what i want to achieve before dead come to me. This is my life goal:

This is the person that i want to be. Inspired by Prophet Muhammad SAW, my father and brother, football players, and anime one piece. For me, being gentleman means being coolest man in the world. It doesn't mean that i don't have dream for my job. I mentioned in "How" map that is "Work for public welfare" means that I will looking for a job that work for society especially Muslims and Indonesia society since i come from Indonesia Muslim society. I can't decide now because world is changing every day and I have to adapt with globalization.

To achieve my ambition, I have make plan for next 10 years, 5 years, and one year which is my 4th year plan. Let's start from next 10 years plan:

This is still plan. Plan can be change because i have to adapt with world change but why not to make plan for next year? Like what i mention in "Challenge" point "Globalization and economy change" is one of the big challenge that i have face. So, adaptation is very important. For "Financial" point, It looks big, but many young managers and businessman in Indonesia have income more than that. Again, this is only plan and target. It can be change but if it's possible to have high income in young age, why not? I can use that money for help poor society in Indonesia, pay Zakat (one of the five pillars of Islam, which is obligatory for all Muslim who meet a minimum requirement), or maybe open new business.

Okay let's go to shorter plan which is next 5 year plan:

Maybe it's kind a funny for you to know that i wish i have salary at least 300,000 yen. However, if i achieve something amazing in my company, getting award, or executive people in my company think that my work performance deserve to high decision, why not to give me higher position? That's why i mention in "Process" point "High work performance" because if we give many positive contribution to our work or have a high performance in our work, we deserve for better position right? That's why i mention in "Challenge" point "work motivation", "Japanese company system", and "motivation to stay in Japan" because to be young manager in Japanese global company or even foreign company in Japan, is very hard to achieve but if there's chance, why not?

Now, let's go to my current position which is 4th year University student and this my next 1 year plan:

Now, in my 4th year, I want to be more discipline for my time. I won't waste a single of time in my last year in APU because to fix my mistakes and learn to be better adult, APU offer me many opportunity. For "baito" point i got in hotel, according to the plan. For "study" point since 2014 fall semester APU doesn't provide Spanish I, so maybe next spring semester. I want to study Spanish, but if i couldn't get class in APU, I will study by myself and search language partner in internet. Since i want to work in HRM field, so i wonder my seminar professor teach in global HRM because another teacher is taking a lot of my time to do that and it's hard to adapt it in my schedule. For job hunting, APU provide students job hunting "on campus" but if i have opportunity to get better job from social media "linkedin" or google, why don't i take it? I won't stuck only in one point because there are many opportunity to get better job so let's see what happen.

So, this is my ambition plan. I will go straight according to this plan to keep my life on track, but things can be change so I'll adapt, learn, and see what happen in the future.

There's survey that show university students if they asked about their ambition and most of their answer is "i have make plan in my brain". They don't write it down. My questions are: How can you write it down in your brain? Is there any special pencil to write something in your brain? It's right that memory can be so strong but also can be so weak. Why? Because memory is not friendly with rush and emotion. If you're busy, feel happy or sad, your memory will open. However, in our young age, our emotion is still unstable. When our emotion is in unstable condition, we'll forget everything including our own ambition. So, it's better for us to write it down. And i suggest to make mind-mapping like this to easy to remember. If you make mind mapping like this, first, you can think and realize your interest, and second, you can see it anywhere and anytime in your computer, ipad, tablet, and smartphone. You can save it in dropbox or google drive, and you can download dropbox and google drive in app store or google store. If necessary you can print out, and put in your room so that you can read it everyday. When you forget it, you can see again and bring you back to your life track.

So, How about you? Are you decide your ambition in your life? Did you make plan in your life? Why don't you make mind mapping for your ambition? I hope you can find your ambition and achieve it. When we meet again in next maybe 15 or 20 years, i hope we meet as success people!
