The Mind of Fadhli

 If there is a word I would use to describe my overall experience in 2023, it would probably be "disruption". From 2021 until this year, I had been working as a translator for the Indonesian state news agency Antara. While I have my complaints working there, it is definitely a comfortable place to work for me. As I translate news after news, I can just feel days pass by behind me without noticing.

F or today, I decided to make a post about three things that I have learned while I am working and training to become a translator. There are, perhaps, several contents available out there that already discussed what I wrote here, but I believe that framing this as a manner of sharing my own personal experiences will not only add specificity, but also made the post as more like a series of subjective tips that people can take or leave, rather than lessons that should be accepted from authority that can be completely trusted.
