Imagine that in this time, you walk on the seashore. Feel the nice wind around you, and enjoy the sparkling of the sunshine day. Then, you see at the sea, a deep blue ocean sea. Take a look carefully at that blue ocean with the sound of the wave and with the winds that blows it into the rock. Take a look carefully that blue ocean, is it beautiful? With the sparkling of the sunshine in its surface that makes the surface more sparkling and cleaner?

It's the most suitable object that I want to share to you about 5 characteristic of the openness style. If you want to be open into the new thing and the new perspective, I think you should follow the example of the ocean. There's 5 characteristic of the openness that I want to make it short with this object and word: OCEAN

The word OCEAN was stand for as follow:
1. Openness to a new experience. Sometimes, we as a human being always learn from other wise man experience. Like example, if we have the parents that success in their career as an employee, we learn that being a worker is a successful thing to choose. But, time has changed, this time, every worker have their own problem in their working environment. When the time was still in industrial revolution, being an employee will have a guarantee of career ahead, but in this time, the era was different and sometimes we can't rely only for our work. We sometimes must seek for another opportunity and therefore, this is the skill that our parents never teach us. We must open into the new experience, like the wise man said "The only thing that certain in this world is uncertainty", therefore, we must improve our adaptation skills in this time. If we remain use the old paradigm, we will not going to survive.

2. Consciousness. This means that we must always improve our consciousness among other people. We must understand what we see, we must understand what we hear, we must understand what we say, we must understand what we feel, and we must also understand what life that we lived everyday now. Yes, that was called consciousness. You must understand and know exactly what kind of life that you lived know. There are two kind of life based on Greek word: Bios and Zoë. Bios is an ordinary life (eat, sleep, work, etc) while Zoë is the meaningful life (a life that really life). We must know our exact meaning of life, and for other people, they have their different meaning. It's better to spend most of our time to know our purpose in this world than to ignore it and live in a wasteful life until we die.

3. Extrovert. This doesn't mean in negative word, but this means that we must welcome a new people surround us. Well, although this means that we will meet all kind of the people from nice one into the evil one, from comforting people until 'pain in the ass' person. Whatever their characteristic is, we like it or not, we should know them and make a relationship with them. Human can be changed. Who knows that the one that we think evil can turn into the good one, and who knows the one that you think he/she nice can stab on your back.

4. Agreeableness. Which means not easy to make a conflict. This word doesn't mean a compromise but it show that you won't arguing with other people if it's not necessary. We must stand in our principal, but we also must have a respect if others have a different principal with us. Don't arguing but share your opinion each other. This kind of act will make you smarter because you learn from others and the others learn also from you.

5. Neuroticism. It means openness from pressure. If you fight that pressure, you will be broken, but if you follow within the pressure, you will win against that pressure. That's what I mean with openness from every pressure. In business, in family, and in our working place, we always have our own pressure. The ocean always flows where the winds blow and it never break its form. On the contrary, every one of us always amazed how beautiful the way of the ocean fit each other with others nature form.

These 5 characteristic was basically the kind of the openness characteristic that me and you should have in our daily life. If you forget about these 5 characteristic, then just go to the sea shore and take a look for the beautiful blue ocean there. I hope that this article will provide you a fresh motivation for your daily life.
