《Daring Greatly》─ Brené Brown

Vulnerability means the willingness to show up and let ourselves be seen as our authentic, imperfect selves.

Some examples of vulnerability:

- Getting fired

- Starting a business

- Saying I love you first

- The list goes on.

The single line that connects those examples is fueled by the fear of being unworthy.

People are afraid of being ordinary. The cultural message in the present world is that we are not good enough. Hustle culture, productivity, perfectionism, the fear of shame has permeated every corner of our culture.

In spite of all this, this book challenges us to encourage vulnerability in our daily lives. Because it is when we take off the vulnerability armory, we’re able to live wholeheartedly and prevent cruelty, criticism, and cynicism in all of us.

This hits home for anyone striving in facing this scarcity culture we have in this world.

Until next time ~

#影響我最深的一句話 在你的生命中，也存在著那麼一句支持、陪伴著你的話嗎？（CakeResume 每週的主題討論實在是太有趣了！）

讓我感動及受到鼓勵的話實在是太多了，因此我選擇跟大家分享我個人座右銘靈感來源的一段話 (說好的一句話呢 😆)

“I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life.”

這段話是出自於美國詩人/作家 Sylvia Plath。「 我永遠不可能成為所有我想要成為的人，或過所有我想要過的生活。 我永遠無法訓練自己掌握所有我想要的技能。 我為什麼要？ 我想體驗和感受生命中所有可能的陰影、色調和變化。」也許 Sylvia Plath 在寫下這段話時的心境是憂鬱、無奈、自我懷疑的，而我在閱讀這段字句時的啟發卻有所不同。

相較於「活在當下」，我更喜歡透過「積極體驗、創造回憶」來詮釋我的生活哲理。每一個分秒都有機會成為珍重、難忘的過去 (回憶)，而這個機會全取決於當下個人做的決定和採取的行動。也許就如 Sylvia Plath 所說的，由於時間、資源的限制，選擇的繁多，我無法踏上每一趟旅程、欣賞每一道風景。儘管如此，我選擇無畏地體驗和嘗試，只為了在我的故事本上留下動人的篇章，待來日細細咀嚼、反覆品味。

My motto: Creating memories is the mission of life.

In the S2EP1 of Jane Setiady’s podcast, Taiwan Bobba, Steffie Mayrelin and I talked about our experiences working and interning in Taiwan as an Indonesian international student, more specifically about our internship at CakeResume as Content Growth Interns!

- What's Taiwanese working culture like?

- Startups vs. Corporate?

- and more!

I am very excited to contribute in introducing this great platform to the Indonesian audience, and also being able to learn so much in an international environment.

Thanks again to Jane for having us! It was a greatly interesting experience ✨
