Relieving Pain: Terms of Treatment

When you are sick, how frequent do you see the doctor? Do you usually go to the hospital when you catch cold? Or do you wait until quite some time, let us say a week, yet you have not healed, that is when you go to doctor? How confident are you in taking over-the-counter medicine?

It is ideal condition that we know ourself best, more than anyone else, including doctor. We know whether we are allergic to some chemical compound in the drug. We know whether we rather like to take oral medication in form of tablet and or pill than liquid. Besides, not all medication could be applied to everyone.

It is the same with relieving ‘Pain’. ‘Doctor’, which I believe knows ourself less than us, prescribes us with ‘Pain’ relieve when we complaint to ‘him’ that we have one. ‘Doctor’ gives us medication that ‘he’ thinks the best for us and would cure us fast. ‘He’ gives us the dosage that he believes suits us best. But, could we believe that someone else knows us better than ourself?

That is why I think it is best for us to have our own medication in relieving ‘Pain’, before asking help from someone else who claims himself an expert, in this case, the ‘Doctor’. ‘Pain’ that we feel could be relieved by ignoring it until it is fade away or curing it until it is removed. I suggest we do the latter because there’s a big possibility the ‘Pain’ to be recurring if we do the first way.

Before relieving ‘Pain’, first we need to make sure what is the main ‘Pain’ that we are feeling. Treating the side ‘Pain’ would not much helpful because the real ‘Pain’ has not been cured yet. After we know which ‘Pain’ should be relieved, then we need to know how to relieve it and the dosage to do so.

Doing something that we love only to forget the hurting feeling of the ‘Pain’ that we feel is classified as ignoring the ‘Pain’. When the ‘Pain’ the we feel is only a mild one, then he only thing to do in relieving ‘Pain’ is to consume the needed drug in short time treatment, no matter how bitter does it feel. Once we consume this bitter medication, the ‘Pain’ is relieved in no time, and we will be cured and healthy again.

But if the ‘Pain’ that we feel is already a severe one, then we have no choice other than taking long term treatment. This kind of treatment could be consist of consuming medication and joining therapy. Only by highly discipline in consuming the medication and attending the therapy we could be cured and get back to our normal condition.

Only those who brave who deserve to live, and I believe those brave people are also brave enough only to face bitter treatment for curing ‘Pain’ that was caused by living life bravely. Don’t you think so?

Delta, Echo, Freedom

This is a make-up story about two guys in a far away land. The two of them are strangers by birth, best friends by situation, brothers by life. Let’s call them Delta and Echo *Do you think their name is weird? Blame the parents :p*.

Life is hard for them as they live in poor condition. But they aren’t poor by heart because they have each other. Whenever one of them needs help, the other will support. Together, they also help other people who need assistance, if they could. They’re true each other, humble, honest, all good qualities that we can find in persons.

One day, Delta and Echo happen to help a billionaire in their neighborhood from danger attacks him. Because of very grateful to be saved, this billionaire gives each of them a billion USD. The two best friends, could do nothing but accept it.

Delta accepts the money gift and uses it wisely. He initiates a business that he’s been longing to run, he shares the money he got to his parent, family, and the society he usually helps. He also marries the girl that he falls in love with. Let’s not talk whether the girl wants to be married by him because of he’s wealthy now or not. :p

Echo in the other hand also accepts the money gift. But instead of spending it wisely or invests it, he spends the money hard for no use at all, like there’s no tomorrow. Instead of marrying his sweetheart-from-senior-high-school-girlfriend, he leaves her, and have fun with any girl who wants to ride the joy with.

With more or less case with Delta-Echo-case, which type of person are you? What will you do when you’re free and given freedom? Will you still do the things you used to do? What about your partner?

*
In my opinion, people are showing their true character when they’re given freedom. Because when underpressure, people tend to do things they’re expected to do. They’re not liberty to do the things they want to do.

They’re free then be evil, that’s what they’re truly are. They’re free and still be good, that’s they’re true color. And hold on closely to your own Delta.

Alpha, Beta, Cupid

I first acknowledged the term of Alpha Male when I read Twilight Saga *Yes, I read it. So what?*. The term strucked me when I had divine conversation with friends. A friend said this other friend of us is an Alpha Female, which is the reason why it’s hard for him not to be not attracted to her *Let’s confirm the truth of the quote to himself *.

As far as Wikipedia told me, Alpha Male *originally refers to animals* is term to describe a very dominant male, usually over-confident, and very assured of himself. Every Alpha Male has his female, the Alpha Male’s female.

But according to this Alpha Female friend of mine, let’s assume she’s a true one, her partner (read: husband) is the true Alpha Male. Could Alpha Male mate with Alpha Female? Still based on Wikipedia, yes it could. Though it’s rarely happen in the nature.

As for me, I think it’s less likely to be happened. Let’s borrow Twilight Saga definition, that Alpha Male means leader (of the wolves pack). Can two leaders lead the same boat? Go figure.

*
Two or more dominant persons could not be in the same group, unless each one of them knows their role, and clearly understand when is the time they need to be dominant, when is the time they need to selfless, if only they still want to be together. When one of them already tried being selfless and the other(s) still can’t/don’t want to do the same, no wonder the ego of this one person becomes interrupted.

Only time can answer what will happen next. Or, could you?

What Your First Job Is?

Mine is a researcher. Correction, my current job. Whether there would be a second job for me or not, let’s not decide it at the moment. Because I still need to learn alot from it, as I just have 8 months experience by the end of this month.

I hope not white coat, experiment tube, and or grey hair that came in your mind when I said “my first job is a researcher”, because not all researcher works in a lab. Let’s not figure me as female Albert Einstein, shall we?

I never wished nor figured myself as a reseacher back then. Not only because I’m more an outdoor person, but also because I didn’t know that indoor job could be interesting. As a researcher to be specific. As a market researcher to be precise.

Don’t blame any of you if you don’t know what a market researcher is, moreover if you don’t know what we do. Because based on the Market Researcher Community in Indonesia, the demand of people to be working in this industry is high. While there are only a few people who are currently working in this side of industry, as a client servicing, not as the client itself.

Oops, probably I’ve lost you along the way. I can’t give you clear explanation what a market researcher is. All I can say that:

Market researcher works to know what the market’s desire, opinion, feedback about producer’s product (upcoming and or existing) and its advertising, if any. Market researcher also works to know market’s behaviour when using any product.

Scary? Not really. We couldn’t say we like something or not when we haven’t tried it by ourself, better go figure. I didn’t know what a market researcher before, and I didn’t say “No” when someone offered me the job. Turns out, I like it, it interests me, and I want to learn something from it.

What is your first job anyway?
