The Long Way to Be a CEO

Realistic!

Building a company is not easy, because everything must be thoroughly considered carefully, especially if it will involve a large team who participate in raising the company.

This is indeed I am a layman and fairly reckless. Just capitalizing on the knowledge in business management books, I became too confident to be able to set up a company that would later involve some of my friends.

Finna's words have a point, if what I am building is not realistic and there is nothing to be used as a field of profit that will support the life of the company. I'm too fixated on an innovation without thinking about the feedback that will be obtained from building something, whether it will be profitable or not, I think less deeply, and too fixated on the things I like. Not more.

I don't know, right now I'm really upset and want to think about it more deeply.

“You've slept?” incoming messages on my phone from Indira.

“You're okay sha?”

“Pardon Finna's attitude yes, she didn't mean to offend and upset you”

I just stared at the sentences of Indira's message not to reply, I don't know what I'm going to talk about.

It's good to rest early, today is quite tiring to have to wara-wiri here and there doing various things.

It feels like to sleep well tonight, although it is still too early to sleep, but it is better to rest as much as possible. Today I put out too much energy. I'm tired!.

Finna was sitting in the living room of Indira's apartment, she stared at the ceiling blankly and ignored her surroundings.

“You still think of Andre?” Ask Indira who is now sitting next to her best friend.

“Have it, don't get too thought out, you better move on and find a better replacement, I'm sure you'll find a better man than Andre, Trusti”. He shifted his sitting position to embrace his best friend's body to just calm down.

Finna who was daydreaming was realized by the attitude of Indira who was gentle as before when they were still students. For him now Indira is not only a friend but a very valuable person whom he will always accompany to share his joys and sorrows. Finna has become aware of her own mistakes that have resulted in a rift between the two.

“I've not thought too much about that, I'm thinking about something else”. He let go of Indira's embrace and started telling her about the incident in the cafe when he criticized Sharon.

“My words were so outrageous, I always like that when it comes to work”.

“I don't mean to offend him, not Indira. I just want him to be more thorough in building the company he will develop. I have seen many ambitious people in pursuing their careers to build companies but failed because of very simple problems. Must be realistic in building a business, He must think about how to benefit from what he does, not just to pursue his passions to realize what he wants”.

Indira looked carefully at Finna's explanation, and was amazed by this woman's figure, her gaze far ahead and there was no intention to bring down Sharon, only, just, Finna is rigid and not compassionate if giving criticism.

“I understand, and you don't have to worry, Sharon won't hate you for this, I guarantee” said Indira reassured him that his best friend does not have to worry.

“Alright, maybe later I will apologize directly to your lover it” he leaned himself onto Indira's shoulder.

“I know” Indira hugged her best friend's body again.

Outside of work affairs, Finna is a very fragile woman, difficult to socialize because of her attitude that looks arrogant. Only Indira really understands her way of mind and it makes her think to always take care of her best friend. Not wanting any more destruction between his relationships, it was enough for him to have to be hostile because of the past issues about Andre.

"Maybe I can help her later, do you mind?" ask Finna.

"Of course, that's a great idea!". Tymphal Indira.

"I'm still afraid that you.." Finna had not finished speaking directly silenced his mouth by the hand of Indira.

"I know what you're going to say, take it easy, I trust you". Followed by the sweet laughter on her thin lips.
