What do you care about? (Pseuwisdom 15:1-8)
21 February 2008
1 Since Tuesday, I wear this pin with a flower and a sentence "We always care." It supposed to show our solidarity and that we keep our professionalism above anything else.
2 Also, since Tuesday, I have a training in Microsoft about SQL Server 2005 Performance Tuning and Optimization. The trainer is a Chinese and on lunch, he saw my pin (I forgot to take my ID off) and asked, "What do you care about?"
3 Of course, his English is not perfect, so what I heard is, "Whatsee dossee youssee caresee aboutsee?"
4 Anyway, like a obedient employee, I explain to him about the news, of course within my own perception, and I could be wrong and also about the meaning of the flower and so on. What I said seems lost in translation, so he just nod with understanding (or pretending that he understand).
5 Then I come to the office in the evening and read an email about the concern of not using indonesian language on the pin.
6 Maybe that's the reason. Yes, indonesian language is great, but to go international, we use English. Remember we want to show our professionalism and solidarity not only to Indonesian people, but to everybody in the whole world.
7 Yes, I wanted to show to the whole world that I always care.
8 What do I care about?
Scripture pseuwisdom
Mr Koko...I'm agree with u...
English language more universal...
Like i said before, there are circumstances which is can't be explained when youre using Indonesia Language.
So, We Should Care isn't it?
