A Legacy

In your profession, what can you give to others?

This phrase captivated me. Despite the loud noises outside because my neighbors are quarreling and swearing at each other, it made me stop for a while and had me thinking, touches my heart and write this article.

It brings me in a world of future, where my heart will stop on beating and I am no longer here to witness the beauty of this living earth.

When I am gone, what can I do to make a difference?

Everyone longs to be different. Everyone wanted to leave some legacy to someone. Everyone wanted to inspire someone.

As I am writing this article I can feel my arms, shaking. I am not sure if it is because of hunger since it is already lunch time and I haven't had my breakfast or the enormous passion that I feel right at this very moment.

I am a designer but I graduated as an Information Technology student. My passion is driven with a will to express, not in a world of numbers or programming nor technology. But it greatly helps me to discover what I really love to do, expression.

I am a person who doesn’t want to hide what I feel. Just like everyone else, where they express their feelings in different ways; music, writing and mine would be – designing.

I used to be a selfish person (I think I still am) who just want to convey my feelings in design, that’s all. But as I have met wonderful people in my life, see the beauty of ordinary small details, get inspired and experience all of these wonderful and painful feelings, it strengthen my will to return all of these to everyone.

We may all seek to differ, to be unique or to stand out in our respective fields. But I guess, we all have one thing in common and that is not to win but to inspire others.

Let us make it more general: In your profession, what can you give to others?

I am surrounded by a team of passionate, exciting and young people. As a web designer of Joobi, I’m excited for the monthly release of Joomla template design that I crafted carefully and given life by my teammates. I believe that more than anything else, human is a sensitive living beings with emotion. In each design I wasn’t focus on the functionality alone but in the purpose of expression. In each expression there is a hope that the customers will read, see and feel my message. In every design, I hope and desire to put a smile, to touch a person’s heart and inspire. A hope that when they use my template design on their websites, their customer will be inspired and the loop will never end.

As a bartender, what can you bestow to customers? I hope you will keep this in mind as you continue with your career. –Bartender Vol. 05 Ch, 033

It brings me in a world of future, where my heart will stop on beating and I am no longer here to witness the beauty of this living earth. When I am gone, I can smile and say – I express what I felt and it made a loop of inspiration, a subtle difference that would make a major change to someone else’s life if not to everyone.

There is a great silence outside now. I hope one day, I’ll be able to inspire these people, in my own way.
