This sentence suddenly comes to my mind. Recently, I feel so spiritful to write, learn, motivate, and seek for creative ideas. But now I ask myself for what?

I am afraid my motivation becomes wrong. All the appreciations aren’t always positive. Sometimes they weaken us, too. It’s a kinda strange, because we’ve already had the mindset, “in the supported environment, you can become better people”. Ah, maybe it’s right for people who just accept Jesus as their Savior! But more than that, Jesus wants us to become strong in EVERY condition right?

Imagine this illustration. There are two mountaineers, A and B. A suddenly sees a steeply slope after walking in the even terrain for a long time. B also sees a steeply slope, but B has already struggled to conquer many uneven terrains and another slopes. Which one is more ready to climb the steeply slope? Of course B!

No wonder if in this life there are many problems. Maybe we’ve just rested for a short time, and then another difficult problem comes again. It’s normal! Jesus wants to see our maturity to react about the problem! It’s because Jesus wants to test our heart, again and again. Jesus just wants our heart become right, humble, and strong! Life isn’t just for pleasure, pleasure, and pleasure, but life is a struggle. Struggle to keep our faith till the end. If in our life we just get appreciations, we can become arrogant!

Become arrogant is very dangerous for our life, sometimes we don’t realize it. If we become arrogant, we will stop learning because we feel that our life is enough, we feel satisfied too early. We will do something just for other’s appreciations, not for Him anymore. We will underestimate the others who don’t have same principle with us. We become sensitive against critics. We become careless. We will forget our true purpose. Finally, when problem comes to our life, we will easily fall down!

That’s why I must remind myself, again and again, what is my true purpose? Coz I’m nothing without Him. In the past, I was just an absurd boy, my life changes better because I know Him. I actually don’t have power to change my life! Even until now, I still must learn about many things in this life. I still must change my bad characters. Jesus, please correct me if I’m wrong…

Today, I'm already 20 years old. Wow, time goes like flashlight right? Now I feel I am blessed with happiness that comes from Him. I feel today, this year, is quite different from my past. He really knows the best for me! He gives me health, best friends, spirit, knowledge, so many things for my better live. And I don't need to fear about my future, because my future is in His hand!

Instead, I want to do my best today. I've already received many many things from Him, now I must prove to Him that I can do my best. I will prove to Him that I'm happy with my live, with all of blissful life that He gives! So I must learn from the past but not regret about it, I must have plan about future but not afraid about it, and do all the best that I can do today.

Yeah, now I am going to the next journey. I still must learn about many things about this life, that's why I need You in my life. Please Jesus, don't leave me alone, I lean my life in Your hand...

Are there many roaches in your home? If you are a fisherman, do you want to get more fishes? Or, your pet looks stress and bored?

Maybe robot can become good solution. With learning about chemical substance that they like, robot can attract these animals so they swarm over the robot. For the next treatment, we can choose: want to kill them, or cheer them, or play with them?

For example, we want to “play” with stupid roaches in our home. Robot will put a stuff that’s enhanced with chemical substance that they like. When the roaches have already swarmed over the stuff in a certain number, robot will launch a deadly weapon. Bang!!

Or maybe it can be used to get more fishes. Just learn chemical substance that can become fish bait. Then robot that’s enhanced with it is released in the desired location. Robot will move and guide more fishes into fishermen’s net.

Hmmm… this technology is interesting, isn’t it?

One night,
I am driving my car
Sightseeing this city
Music with speed tempo but cool
Bring my mind enjoying this night

This city, so lively
Lights with various shapes and colors
Digitalized advertisements and posters
Slideshow attached in skyscraper’s wall
The darkness of night
Combined perfectly with those artificial lights

In the intersection
Automatic traffic light
Act as police in the day
My eye sees a restaurant
Full with people
Hang out, party, gambling, shopping…
Ah, this city is never asleep!!

While driving my car
I wonder, why human is so wonderful
Create a civilization
Elegant and digital civilization
Combine the darkness of night with artificial lights
Alternate the beauty of nature
Alternate the daylight sensation
Is it recorded in God’s plan?

Wow, I am living in 21th century!
I wonder, while driving my car
Could I take part?

From: a boy who wanna take part for future technology development

Recently, there are many earthquakes happen. From Sichuan (China), Padang (Indonesia), Haiti, and the most recent was in Conception, Chile. Of course we know that those earthquakes cause many victims, maybe thousands or even hundred thousands.

Nah, ironically most of earthquake victims don't die at the time when earthquake struck, but they die because they are buried alive. Now think about their suffering for a while. Imagine that we are earthquake victim that is trapped below the ruins for three days, while our condition is very weak. We've already send SMS to our friends and family but there's no response. We also wait for rescue team but till now they still don't come. How terrible, buried alive.

Rescue team that seeks for victim surely has limitation. Moreover when several days passed after earthquake, they'll assume that buried victims have already died so they stop seeking. If actually there are still victims alive, what they can do is just waiting for their death.

What if the rescue team is equipped with robot?

Yeah, robot with heat censor and voice recognition! When the robot enters through ruins' space, heat censor and voice recognition are activated. Heat censor is to detect mammal's heat body and voice recognition is to detect whether there's noise, sound inside or not. If necessary, the robot is also embedded with lamp and camera for accurate victim detection.

About shape, the robot can be shaped like snake so they can move with great flexibility. In some countries these robots are already used. The difficulty that we meet when design this robot is, how snake robot can move above uneven terrain and climb between wall ruins. How to make every joint of snake robot become flexible also needs extra effort.

We also can make another shape. If the robot is shaped like bee (we call it drone), we don't need to think about terrain. Just like snake robot, drone also can enter through ruin space easily. Then, we must think about how to adjust drone's altitude so it can fly smartly without hit the wall or floor.

Wow, if these robots become mass-produced and we can deal with the price, we can greatly minimize earthquake victims.
