Stoicism vs FOMO
Have you ever woken up or relaxed for a moment and opened TikTok, hoping to find content that refreshes your mind? But instead of meaningful or uplifting content, you end up seeing people parodying a song that actually has deep lyrics — but it’s been turned into background music for silly, meaningless dances. Sadly, these moves become templates, copied by hundreds or maybe thousands of people (mostly young), just to gain recognition or land on the FYP (For You Page). Even worse, these types of content get watched by thousands, commented on, and go viral, until the creator forgets why they even made the video in the first place.

Post-Humanism, Religion, and the Closed Gates of Heaven
Religion is a system of beliefs, values, and practices that connect humans with concepts of divinity, spirituality, and the meaning of life. It typically encompasses moral teachings, worship rituals, sacred texts, and communities sharing the same faith. Beyond serving as a spiritual guide, religion also plays a significant social and cultural role in shaping human civilization.

Intrinsic Value
One day, a mother asked her child while holding up a $100 bill, “Do you want this money?” The child immediately responded that they would accept it. The mother then crumpled the money and asked the same question again. The child still responded that they would accept it. The mother then threw the money on the ground and stepped on it, and repeated the question. The child’s answer remained the same: they would still accept the money. The mother asked why the child continued to want the money even though it had been crumpled and stepped on. The child replied, “I don’t care if the money has been crumpled or stepped on; even if it’s been treated badly, it is still worth $100.”

Reflections on Anger
Anger is a powerful emotion that can affect us in many ways and manners. When anger is not managed properly, it can damage our intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, mental health, and overall quality of life. However, if we can understand and manage this anger wisely, we can transform it into a tool for growth and self-understanding.

The Journey to Self-Reliance: Understanding the Mental Strength of the Lone Wolf
Have you ever felt that you were in a situation where you had to work alone, without anyone else to help you? Have you ever felt that at this moment, there is no one who can help you except yourself? I have been in such a situation, and it happened when I had just graduated from high school, about to enroll in a university far from my hometown. I had to go to Salatiga, a city 519 km away from my parents' home in Bogor, where I have lived all my life. I had to go through the entire registration process, entrance exams, and even find my own accommodation, all without the presence of my parents. All by myself. Doubtful? Definitely. Especially since Salatiga was something new to me, although my parents had taken me there when I was in kindergarten, hahaha...

Learn to Embrace Change from Yoda's Wisdom : The Power of Unlearning in a Rapidly Evolving World
One day, I used an online motorcycle taxi service. It so happened that the driver was previously a traditional motorcycle taxi driver who used to wait near the boarding house where I lived. From our conversation, I learned that out of the seven traditional motorcycle taxi drivers, only one remained in the traditional job, while the rest had switched to online services. The reasons the six drivers switched to online services included the ease of getting customers, fixed prices, no need for price negotiations, and a broader customer reach.

The Essence of Loyalty, Solidarity, and Teamwork: Lessons from The Mandalorian, Henry Ford, and Ken Blanchard
As a fan of Star Wars, I consistently watch films related to the franchise, including the series The Mandalorian. The Mandalorian portrays the story of Mandalorians, a group associated with the planet Mandalore in the Star Wars universe created by Joe Johnston and George Lucas. This clan-based culture consists of members from various species united by a common creed, language, and code. Renowned for their effectiveness as mercenaries and bounty hunters, Mandalorians have played pivotal roles throughout galactic history as legendary warriors and conquerors.

"Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum" in the Workplace
During my time studying at the Faculty of Law, I was introduced to two Latin maxims. The first is "Nullum Delictum Nulla Poena Sine Praevia Lege Poenali", which translates to "no crime, no punishment without a previous penal law." The second is "Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum", meaning "let justice be done, though the heavens fall." Both of these maxims are foundational concepts that law students must understand.
