It’s been 8 years since I published my first book. And last Saturday, September 15th, 2012, I launched my 25th book called, ‘Yes, You Can!‘ at Universitas Indonesia’s library. Thanks @NouraBooks and @UI_Library for making it happen.
It was a mixed feelings. I still can’t believe that there are people coming to an event just for me (and my book). I still can’t believe that thousands of people already read my books. I still can’t believe many things that happened to me, the person I’ve evolved to be.
I have changed from a regular ordinary student in my teens, to someone who has build high impact tech startups like NulisBuku.com, write 25 books, have my own boutique and named one of 50 inspiring people selected by editor in chiefs in Intisari Magazine this year, before I reach 30 years old.
I got a lot of questions from “How you do it in such a young age?” “How you can finished writing that many books?” “How to start?” “How to eliminate fear of starting?” etc.
I also met a lot of inspiring and successful people. I make sure I surround myself with those positive and supporting friends or new friends. I make a habit that everytime I meet them, I will notice their qualities and even asked them about the secret of their success, what is their values in life.
My observation towards life, the answers of my successful friends about their success principal, the answers to the most asked questions for me, are all there in my new book, ‘Yes, You Can!’
For the launching event purpose, I invite my followers to share their #YesYouCan moments. Here are some of them:
