I was far too lazy to update this blog. I failed to fulfil my promise. But, I

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I learned many things since the last time I updated this
blog. I planned to update everything but I did nothing. And when I was near to
the deadline, I got an unexpected incident (collarbone fractured) preventing me
to do my responsibilities including fulfil my words to update this blog. I had
all the consequences of my delay in a hard way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><i>I got this advise as I read the status of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Alinne.rosida?fref=ts">a friend of mine</a> on Facebook. I think it would be nice to share it. There are some alterations, but I hope those would not change the message of the status.</i></span></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
***</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
If you give an advise to someone to leave his or her wrongdoings, what response do you get? It could be a statement, "everybody's doing it, why can't I?" Or it could be, "many of the people are doing that, I am not alone."<br />
<br />
But honestly, such statements that maybe tend to be produced when the advise like that come to you as well.<br />
<br />
But, if you pay more attention to the words 'many of the people' in the Qur'an, they are coupled with the words "do not know", "are not grateful", "do not believe".</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know. <b>(Surat Rum: 30)</b><br /><br />Indeed, Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people are not grateful. <b>(Surat Ghafir: 61)</b><br /><br />"Indeed, it is the truth from your Lord, but most of the people do not believe." <b>(Surat Hud: 17)</b></i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Again, if you pay more attention to the words "many of them" in the Qur'an, you will found that the words after them are "are defiantly disobedient", "do not use reason", "turned away", "do not understand", "do not hear".</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"And if they had believed in Allah and the Prophet and in what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them as allies; but many of them are defiantly disobedient." <b>(Surat Al Ma'idah: 81)</b><br /><br />"Indeed, those who call you, [O Muhammad], from behind the chambers - most of them do not use reason." <b>(Surat Al Hujurat: 4)</b>"As a giver of good tidings and a warner; but most of them turn away, so they do not hear." <b>(Surat Fussilat: 4)</b></i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"And if you asked them, 'Who created the heavens and earth?' they would surely say, ' Allah.' Say, '[All] praise is [due] to Allah '; but most of them do not know." <b>(Surat Luqman: 25)</b> </i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear." <b>(Surat Al A'raf: 179)</b></i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So be the minorities, that God says in His verses:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"And few of My servants are grateful." <b>(Surat Saba': 13)</b><br /><br />"But none had believed with him, except a few." <b>(Surat Hud: 40)</b><br /><br />"And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." <b>(Surad Sad: 24)</b></i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Imam Ash-Shaatibi rahimahullah said in Al-I'tisaam:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“Follow the path of guidance, and do not worry about how few are the people who follow it. Beware of the paths of misguidance, and do not be deceived by the large numbers of those who doomed.”</i></div>
</blockquote>

Yesterday afternoon, just when I was in the Discover Islam Exhibition I got a news that an aunt of mine passed away that day (which the day had turned Friday in Indonesia). I hope it was husnul khotimah --the good end-- for her.<br />
<br />
As I heard that news, I felt that death lurked me time to time. During these several years I experienced the lost of my father, cousins, uncles, aunts, teachers, neighbors I used to visit, and even friends I played with.<br />
<br />
And when I was preparing the event this morning, there were booklets about the judgement day in Islamic perspective. I did not pay much attention to the booklets as I thought the topic might be to heavy for the visitors who came to the exhibition, so I put them aside. Those remained at the box until today's exhibition was over.<br />
<br />
Now, I am dwelling about the death itself. Am I prepared for that? And for an unimaginable length of time to the judgement day, what will happen?<br />
<br />
I once experienced an accident that (could) put me to the edge of death two years ago. I had my jaw bone fractured in several locations. The doctor said I was lucky but she was afraid I would have difficulty on speaking later on. Thank God, I was okay. Anatomically, it is indeed that I am not the person I was. I lost several of my teeth and one of the fracture remains. However, I think everything works well. The thing that the doctor pronounced does not occur.<br />
<br />
But, a human is a forgetful creature. The experience should be a milestone to return to God. It was! However, as time passes by, I forget. Sometimes I feel lazy to do worships. Sometimes I commit wrongdoings. Sometimes I put insincerity into my actions. And many things that I feel ashamed even to think about.<br />
<br />
But, again, the God always has His own ways to remind me. And, I think today's news was one of them. In my condolence to hear the news, I think I should show my gratefulness that God keeps showing me His signs, and yesterday it was by taking away one of the person I close to.</div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">إن لله ما أعطى وله ما أخذ وكل شيء عنده بأجل مسمى فلتصبر ولتحتسب</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br />Surely what Allah gives is His, and what He takes is His, and everything has the predetermined doom in the sight of Allah; so be patient and hope for the reward from Allah.</b></div>

These two days (26-27/02), Cranfield Islamic Society run an an event at Vincent Building titled Discover Islam Exhibition. The exhibition was enlivened by the enthusiasm of the visitors. They asked many things related to the religion.<br />
<br />
As the volunteer to the event, I had a great experience. Since long, I was afraid to communicate about Islam. The reason for this was I was afraid. I thought that as long as I lived I had never become a good believer for my faith. I was afraid if I delivered a wrong massage or even if I delivered something right I was afraid it would be misunderstood. However, in that event I was challenged to talk about Islam and it was not by my mother tongue. I worried even more.<br />
<br />
Once there were two Chinese girls ask about jilbab. It was daunting because at that time there were no girl volunteers that I believed would give information better. Having no choices, I described that jilbab was worn as the way of a Muslim woman being recognized as a Muslim. I also told them that the jilbab was also as her way to protect herself.<br />
<br />
Another time I was asked about how children could bring their parents to the paradise. I answered that question that the obedience of children is the key. As children, being pious was one of the key to help their parents got the rewards.<br />
<br />
The enthusiasm did not come only from the non Muslims but also the Muslims. There was a girl requested for an Arabic class to be held because she longed for it.<br />
<br />
Noticing the event, there was a lady whom I guessed was a staff of the university asked about how we, as Muslims, experienced the life at Cranfield University. I told her that we were more than welcomed here and she looked happy to hear that. she was delighted even more when we handed her a gift bag containing a translation of the Qur'an and a book.<br />
<br />
I am grateful for the experience I had these two days. Not only because I beat my worries and anxieties but also because I could delivered something about the faith I hold all this time. The enthusiasm of the visitors somehow touched me and encouraged me to learn again about Islam. I remember one of them said that the religions and faiths were dead in her country for a long time and the event was gave her a different perspective. I believe she said that because she was in her journey to find the meaning of her life. Remembering her statement, I realize how lucky I am.</div>

I am grateful for<span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;"> the existence of</span><span lang="IN"> </span><span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;">letters</span>.<span style="mso-ansi-language: IN;"> <span lang="IN">I think one of the most important of cultural products is languages.
While they can be expressed verbally, the writing system is an outstanding
achievement to express languages. It is just wonderful that everything can be
depicted by stringing the letters into words so that the ideas and thoughts can
be transferred widely without the need to have verbal conversation. Now, when I
read Al-Qur’an, or papers, or massage on my mobile or anything, I am grateful
for the series of those letters that produce meaningful expressions.</span></span>

A week ago, there ware International days in my campus. Indonesian
students took participation in that event. We presented Indonesia: the culture,
several expressions of the language, the cuisines. I think everybody loved it.
And just last night in the campus sports hall, a guy in the reception greeted
me with “selamat malam” when I was walking through the gate. He also gave a
credit for my presentation. He said it was memorable. Wow! I could not be
grateful more for being born in Indonesia and respected as an Indonesian.</div>

I am grateful for having problems. Problems? Yes, problems!
I realized it from some experiences I had these days. One of the problems was a
misunderstanding between university’s financial office and my financial sponsor
about my tuition fee. It took days to <span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;">be </span>settle<span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;">d,</span><span lang="IN"> </span>while other problems <span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;">were awaiting</span> to be resolved as well.</div>

However, I then have a new insight. As problems come my systems
work. My body, my thought, my emotion. I am aware that my tendency is being

Pertanyaan tentang kontribusi selalu jadi primadona dalam berorganisasi di kampus, ta terkecuali di KMPN. Pertanyaan tentang kontribusi sudah dimulai sejak OSKM, dilanjutkan saat kaderisasi, lalu dalam proses berorganisasi. Masalah kontribusi ini bahkan buat KMPN yang mengusung kata <b>keluarga mahasiswa</b> dalam namanya, dan bukannya himpunan mahasiswa atau ikatan mahasiswa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mengapa kontribusi menjadi sedemikian penting?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saya teringat saat saya menjalani masa kaderisasi. Saat itu karena sesuatu saya harus keluar dari barisan angkatan saya. Seorang senior dari angkatan 2000, Emir namanya, bertanya kepada saya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Ham, kamu mau jadi ketua KMPN nanti?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Kenapa, Master?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Ya sebagai bentuk kontribusi kamu buat KMPN."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Tapi, bentuk kontribusi 'kan tidak harus sebagai pemimpin, Master."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pembicaraan itu terhenti di situ. Namun dua tahun kemudian, tantangan serupa datang lagi. Kali ini dari senior angkatan 1999. Kak Lia, begitu saya memanggilnya. Beliau bertanya mengapa saya tidak mengambil kesempatan mendaftar sebagai calon ketua KMPN.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Kamu 'kan bisa melakukan sesuatu yang lebih buat KMPN ketika menjadi ketua," begitu argumen beliau ketika itu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Tapi enjadi ketua bukan satu-satunya cara untuk memperbaiki keadaan, Kak."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Ya, itu pilihanmu. Tapi coba dipikir baik-baik lagi."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Akhirnya saya memang mengambil form pendaftaran, terlambat sekali dibanding kandidat lain. Alasan saya semata-mata saat itu karena desakan beberapa orang dari kawan angkatan. Saya sebenarnya enggan karena masa kampanye mengambil waktu bulan romadhon juga saat itu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saya berangkat ke medan kampanye dengan biaya minim. Saya tidak bisa membuat kaos atau spanduk seperti kandidat lain. Yang saya punya saat itu adalah spirit untuk melakukan yang terbaik karena diamanahi kawan-kawan untuk maju. Media kampanye saya hanyalah beberapa lembar kertas buram yang ditulisi spidol.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sudah jalannya, saya menang saat itu. Terus terang ini bukan karena saya lebih baik daari kandidat lain. Bahkan jika dibandingkan dengan teman-teman lain yang bahkan tidak mencalonkan diri, saya sangat kurang. Saya punya ketua angkatan dengan kualitas kepemimpinan prima. Saya punya teman yang punya kedewasaan dan retorika lebih bagus daripada saya. Saya punya teman yang selalu bisa memberi ide-idenya yang kreatif. Saya bukan apa-apa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tetapi mengapa saya yang digadang-gadang untuk maju?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saya tidak pernah tahu jawabannya, tetapi saya menduga bahwa Allah ingin memberikan ruang buat saya untuk belajar. Saya dahulu merasa saya cuma bisa belajar dari bangku kelas. Saya berkomitmen untuk mendedikasikan waktu saya buat belajar. Ya, belajar!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keinginan saya untuk belajar sangat kuat, dan malah tantangan kepemimpinan yang datang. Dan nyata ini adalah jawaban dari harapan saya. Saya belajar jauh lebih banyak dari proses berorganisasi di KMPN. Saya mengambil pelajaran jauh lebih banyak daripada apa yang bisa saya kontribusikan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saya belajar bagaimana paradigma baru bahwa ketua KMPN lebih bersifat kepelayanan daripada kepemimpinan itu seniri. Saya belajar untuk menjadi 'orang tua' yang telinganya harus siap mendengar, yang lidahnya siap mengayomi, yang hatinya lapang ketika dikritik, yang badannya ada di depan ketika pihak luar memojokkan. Saya belajar menempatkan diri kapan harus bersikap lunak atau bersikap keras.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ada terlalu banyak yang saya peroleh dari KMPN, yang bahkan dengan
menjadi ketua KMPN sepuluh kali pun tak akan terbayar. Di KMPN saya
merasa mendapat dukungan dari orang-orang terbaik. Di KMPN saya
memperoleh sahabat, saudara, keluarga. Di KMPN saya memperoleh
pengalaman, setetes kebijaksanaan, setitik kedewasaaan yang bahkan
sampai saat ini saya manfaatkan dalam perjalanan hidup saya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dalam perjalanan bersama KMPN itu pula, kemudian saya melihat perspektif baru, bahwa teman-teman saya cukup sadar melihat bahwa kontribusi mereka akan lebih nyata ketika mereka melakukan sesuatu sesuai dengan apa yang menjadi kekuatan mereka. Mereka yang lebih kreatif menjadi punya ruang lebih dengan kreativitasnya ketika berada di tempat yang tepat. Mereka yang senang bekerja dalam tekanan, menjadi antusias dengan terlibat di kepanitiaan daripada disibukkan membicarakan hal-hal konseptual di BPP dan DPA. Ini yang saya lihat sebagai self awareness. Di sini saya menyadari bahwa ketika seseorang kenal dirinya maka dirinya akan punya kecenderungan melakukan sesuatu yang bisa membuat dirinya dan lingkungannya berkembang pada saat yang sama.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saya pun percaya bahwa spirit tentang kontribusi ini juga dirasakan oleh angkatan-angkatan berikutnya. Saya ingat keika angkatan 2002 kuorum memilih Azhar sebagai ketua KMPN. Azhar saat itu dipilih bukan karena superior dalam berbagai hal, namun bagaimana dia bisa membumi dengan teman-temannya saat itu, dan dengan menjadi ketua dia bisa mengoptimalkan kontribusinya daripada harus memegang posisi lain.<br />
<br />
Dalam proses pemilihan ketua KMPN dari angkatan 2003, kemudian 2004 dan seterusnya, pada dasarnya sama saja. Mereka yang maju sebagai kandidat karena ingin memberi lebih. Mereka yang menjadi kandidat kenal baik dengan kualitas kompatriotnya. Bagaimana tidak, mereka itulah yang kerap bergadang dan tidur bersama di ruangan sempit demi mengerjakan program-program KMPN di masa itu. Mereka maju karena punya visi buat diteruskan buat ke anggota keluarga yang lain. Apakah mereka menganggap visi pesaingnya tidak lebih baik? Bukan, bukan itu! Persaingan antarteman itu muncul karena KMPN layak diperjuangkan. Mereka tetap siap mendukung siapapun yang maju. Tetapi jalan bukan berarti lapang untuk itu. Hal yang lebih menakjubkan, bahkan sengitnya pertanyaan pada masa kampanye datang dari angkatan mereka sendiri. Sekali lagi bukan mereka karena tidak percaya pada temannya yang menjadi calon, tapi mereka merasa KMPN perlu memperoleh yang terbaik.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dari tadi saya bicara soal ketua, maka sekarang saya memberi contoh soal kontribusi dari seorang anggota biasa. Saya masih ingat sekali dengan tangisan Nurul, KMPN 2002, saat konsep acara wisudaannya berjalan tidak sempurna menurut dia (sebuah kesalahan kecil yang bahkan kami tidak sadar akan hal itu). Buat Nurul itu tidak pernah jadi acara wisudaan yang sempurna, padahal selama bertahun-tahun acara itu dikenang sebagai salah satu acara wisuda terbaik yang KMPN pernah laksanakan. Ini bentuk kontribusi yang sejati. Tidak setengah-setengah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Di lain waktu, saya masih ingat pembicaraan Reza, Reo, Jeki, dan teman-teman yang lain soal membangun keprofesian KMPN. Mereka bisa menghabiskan waktu berjam-jam untuk membahas ini. Bukan sekedar membagun keprofesian dalam skala lokal namun nasional. Pengalaman organisasi minim tidak membuat mereka khawatir, dan justru semakin bersemangat. Soal berhasil atau gagal itu bukan tujuan, namun kepuasan batin karena bisa melakukan sesuatu yang nyata. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Menjadi ketua, anggota BPP atau DPA, anggota biasa yang mungkin selama ini dianggap sebagai penggembira, atau siapapun dia yang termasuk anggota biasa KMPN, kalian semua punya peran penting. Tanpa salah satu dari kalian yang mengambil peran dan tanggung jawab itu, KMPN menjadi tidak sempurna baik sebagai organisasi maupun 'keluarga'. Kesadaran diri (self awareness) kalian dituntut di sini, karena dengan itu kalian tahu bentuk kontribusi apa yang paling baik, baik buat diri pribadi maupun KMPN.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jadi ketika pertanyaan mengapa seorang anggota KMPN perlu berkontribusi, saya bisa memberi sedikit perspektif. Ada banyak yang sudah diambil dari KMPN oleh yang bersangkutan, baik itu sadar atau tidak, sedikit kontribusi adalah sebuah tanda rasa sukur yang bersangkutan atas "fasilitas" yang disediakan KMPN. Di lain pihak, kontribusi sebuah bentuk kepercayaan diri bahwa dirinya cukup berharga dan pantas berbuat sesuatu buat dirinya, orang lain, dan lingkungannya. Orang yang enggan berkontribusi, mungkin ada keraguan atau rasa malu dalam hatinya yang merasa bahwa dirinya tidak cukup baik. Atau bahkan yang lebih parah dia tidak mengenal dirinya sehingga tidak tahu apa yang sebenarnya bisa dia berikan dari dirinya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jadi, pilihan untuk berkontribusi itu ada di kalian, kawan! Bagaimana caranya? Kalian pasti tahulah bagaimana caranya.</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I am grateful for time. Contemplating all that have been
spent through these years, I am grateful while the same time ashamed. I am
grateful that all the best chances have come, but I am also ashamed as I often waste
them. I am grateful that during these periods I have been given a space to do
small deeds that I hope would be beneficial, but I am also ashamed as I
realized more wrongdoings I commit instead. Then, what should I keep? Gratefulness
or shame? I think to choose gratefulness first then do better.</span></div>

Ada banyak masa-masa sulit yang saya hadapi ketika berkegiatan di KMPN. Salah satunya adalah krisis kepercayaan yang terjadi pada tahun 2002-2003.<br />
<br />
Tahun 2002-2003 adalah tahun dimana semua serba sulit buat KMPN. Tahun itu secara resmi sekretariat KMPN disegel. Kemudian ketua kaderisasi KMPN untuk angkatan 2001 beserta sejumlah panitia diancam dengan nol SKS selama dua tahun jika melanjutkan acara kaderisasi hingga pelantikan (dan itu artinya sama saja dengan drop out). Akan tetapi, semua itu terasa tidak berarti dengan krisis kepercayaan yang tumbuh di angkatan 2002 terhadap KMPN saat itu.<br />
<br />
Pasca disegelnya sekretariat, aktivitas KMPN nyaris lumpuh. Satu hal yang patut disukuri saat itu adalah darah muda KMPN (angkatan saya) yang menggebu-gebu yang merasa tidak sepatutnya KMPN menjadi lumpuh karena kehilangan 'ruang berkumpul'. KMPN tidak boleh dibatasi oleh sekat ruang. Spirit itu jugalah yang membuat angkatan 2001 bersemangat melakukan interaksi awal dengan angkatan 2002, bahkan tanpa adanya persetujuan BPP saat itu.<br />
<br />
Akan tetapi niat baik tidaklah cukup. Niat baik harus disertai cara yang tepat. Inilah blunder yang kami lakukan saat itu. Miskin pengalaman, kami mengadaptasi metode kaderisasi yang kami lihat dan rasakan setahun sebelumnya tanpa tahu konsep dan alasan mengapa semua metode itu perlu dilakukan. Sedikit demi sedikit angkatan 2002 meninggalkan interaksi dan pernah suatu ketika yang datang kurang dari lima orang. Kami kehilangan rasa percaya dari orang-orang yang seharusnya adalah bagian dari keluarga. Mungkin mereka kehilangan kepercayaan karena kami tidak mengerti apa yang sedang kami lakukan dan menjadikan mereka hanya sebagai objek kaderisasi. Mungkin mereka juga tidak percaya kami karena berasal dari organisasi yang tidak diakui keberadaannya di kampus. Mungkin mereka enggan karena tidak ada daya tawar yang tinggi dari KMPN sebagai sebuah organisasi. Semua alasan untuk meninggalkan KMPN lengkap sudah buat angkatan 2002 saat itu.<br />
<br />
Hal itu menjadi perhatian khusus dalam kepengurusan baru yang terbentuk saat itu. Taufick sebagai ketua umum KMPN menunjuk saya sebagai Kadiv PSDM, seseorang yang justru berasal dari angkatan yang membuat siklus kaderisasi KMPN terancam. Satu hal yang saya pikirkan saat ditunjuk memegang posisi itu adalah membangun kembali kepercayaan, dan saya cukup sadar bahwa adalah hal yang sulit untuk mengembalikan sebuah rasa kepercayaan yang 'hilang'. Satu hal yang saya lakukan saat itu adalah meminta bantuan mahasiswa psikologi Unpad untuk membantu sebagian dari proses kaderisasi.<br />
<br />
Hal ini bukan perkara gampang karena pro dan kontra datang terhadap pendekatan ini. Saya sendiri juga sebenarnya tidak terlalu yakin dengan hal tersebut. Meskipun mereka orang dari psikologi, mereka tidak tahu kultur yang ada di KMPN. Argumen ini yang tidak bisa saya jawab saat itu ketika itu ditanyakan oleh teman-teman KMPN yang lain, karena di dalam hati saya setuju. Metode yang dilakukan oleh tim psikologi tersebut hanya menyentuh bagian permukaan dari kaderisasi yang sesungguhnya. Jiwa dari KMPN sama sekali belum tersentuh dengan keterlibatan tim psikologi tersebut.<br />
<br />
Apa yang membuat saya bertahan untuk melibatkan mereka? Itu semata-mata untuk membangun rasa percaya teman-teman 2002 kembali bahwa KMPN adalah keluarga mereka. Saya terpaksa bertindak sebagai pedagang dengan menawarkan sesuatu yang tampak baru walaupun pada dasarnya sama. Adanya tim psikologi itu adalah yang saya tawarkan untuk menarik minat angkatan 2002 untuk menyatakan bahwa kaderisasi ini dipersiapkan secara <i>scientific</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Masalah lain muncul, beberapa anggota biasa yang lain menjadi enggan untuk hadir dalam acara interaksi. Hal tersebut adalah risiko yang datang. Namun pada akhirnya semua berjalan sebagaimana mestinya. Setelah sekian pertemuan, saya mencukupkan keterlibatan tim psikologi tersebut dan lebih melibatkan teman-teman KMPN dalam kegiatan selanjutnya.<br />
<br />
Satu hal yang saya pelajari adalah rasa percaya adalah sesuatu yang sangat mahal. Ini yang sebenarnya membuat sesuatu menjadi hidup dan memiliki nilai. Hal ini bukan sesuatu yang bisa dijelaskan oleh kata-kata atau ditangkap panca indera. Ketika rasa percaya hilang, itu adalah jalan buat kehancuran, apapun bentuk kehancuran itu. Dalam kasus KMPN saat itu, ada kemungkinanan KMPN kehilangan satu generasi, atau sejarah KMPN berhenti saat situ jika masalah kepercayaan itu tidak diselesaikan.<br />
<br />
Hal yang saya ingin tekankan adalah, adalah pentingnya untuk membangun kepercayaan. Saat itu saya merasa bahwa rasa percaya yang saya bangun bukan semata-mata bagaimana pandangan angkatan 2002 tarhadap para senior atau KMPN sebagai organisasi. Lebih dari itu, segala upaya saat itu ditujukan bagaimana membuat semua orang merasa percaya terhadap dirinya sendiri. Bahwa setiap mereka adalah penting. Ketika setiap orang merasa dirinya penting (baca: berharga) maka mereka akan melakukan apapun untuk menjaga perasaan berharga itu. Karena mereka penting maka mereka dibutuhkan oleh KMPN. Kemudian berikutnya diharapkan adalah sebuah kesadaran bahwa KMPN adalah penting buat mereka. KMPN ada untuk menjaga dan memelihara perasaan berharga itu, sebagaimana layaknya sebuah rumah buat sebuah keluarga.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soal berhasil atau tidak dengan semua usaha saat itu, itu adalah cerita yang lain lagi.</div>

Hari ini nama saya disebut dalam sebuah diskusi di Facebook. Diskusi tentang isu-isu kekinian di KMPN (Keluarga Mahasiswa Teknik Penerbangan).<br /><br />Nostalgia masa lalu dengan KMPN, selalu membuat saya tersenyum. Ada terlalu banyak pelajaran yang saya peroleh dari perjalanan bersama KMPN. Dan mungkin saatnya saya berbagi kenangan itu dalam beberapa tulisan mendatang dengan diawali tulisan ini.<br /><br />Kali ini saya akan bercerita soal rasa kepemilikan (<i>ownership</i>).<br /><br />Saat pertama saya tiba di kampus ITB, saya masih ingat sekali ketika saya disapa oleh seorang senior usai melakukan registrasi. Digit namanya. Digit adalah orang yang sangat ramah dan bersahabat. Dia bercerita soal KMPN, bertanya apakah saya sudah mendapat tempat tinggal, dan sebagainya. Untuk kali pertama saya merasa tidak perlu ada kekhawatiran ketika saya pertama kali merantau jauh dari kampung halaman.<br /><br />Belakangan saya tahu bahwa itu adalah sebuah fasilitas yang disediakan oleh KMPN buat mahasiswa baru. Sebuah fasilitas yang hendak menekankan bahwa kami, para mahasiswa baru, memang akan jauh dari keluarga yang selama ini mendukung. Akan tetapi, akan ada keluarga baru yang akan menyambut di tempat baru, yang akan siap mendukung walaupun mungkin tidak sempurna seperti dukungan ayah, ibu, atau saudara yang ditinggalkan saat itu.<br /><br />Satu hal yang membuat saya bertanya selama bertahun-tahun, mengapa para senior kami melakukan itu? Dan saya percaya mereka ikhlas. Mereka tidak dibayar, bahkan kadang harus berkorban waktu, tenaga, dan uang untuk menyambut kami orang-orang tak dikenal, miskin pengalaman, dan naif. Yang lebih aneh adalah bahwa perasaan serupa tumbuh dalam hati kami beberapa waktu kemudian. Ketika masuk tahun ajaran baru. Orang-orang baru akan datang, dan kami berharap bisa memberikan penyambutan yang terbaik buat mereka. Tetapi buat apa itu semua?<br /><br />Saya awalnya memandang hal itu hanya smacam ritual tahunan yang sudah ada. Tetapi semakin lama saya berkutat dalam KMPN, semakin sadar saya bahwa itu bukan sekedar ritual.<br /><br />Itu adalah bentuk dari rasa kepemilikan. Rasa kepemilikan adalah hal dasar yang perlu dimiliki sebuah keluarga. Saya akan mengambil ilustrasi sederhana dari seorang anak dalam sebuah keluarga. Perhatian orang tua akan seorang anak jauh sebelum kelahirannya tiba. Mereka mempersiapkan sebaik-baiknya apa yang dirasa perlu buat tumbuh kembang si anak, walaupun mereka juga tahu ada risiko bahwa si anak suatu saat nanti mungkin tidak selalu jadi anak yang berbakti, kadang membangkang, mengkin sesekali membuat kecewa. Tetapi hal-hal seperti itu tidak menyurutkan orang tua untuk melakukan hal-hal terbaik buat anaknya.<br /><br />Hal itu juga yang saya rasakan dari para senior saya waktu itu. Saya yakin rasa kepemilikan itu yang membuat mereka dengan senang hati mengadakan kegiatan penyambutan itu, kemudian kaderisasi. Terkadang risiko yang harus dihadapi dengan mengerjakan itu semua sangat tidak sepadan (ancaman drop out misalnya atau tidak semua orang dalam satu angkatan menjadi anggota biasa KMPN). Mereka tahu semua risiko itu, namun tetap melakukan semua hal itu.<br /><br />Mereka, dan dan kemudian menurun kepada saya dan teman-teman yang lain, melihat bahwa KMPN bukan semata-mata organisasi, tetapi memang sebagai keluarga adanya. Rasa kepemilikan terhadap keluarga dan anggota keluarga itulah yang menjadi landasan untuk peduli dan bekontribusi, yang saya percaya bahwa semua orang punya caranya sendiri untuk melakukan itu.<br /><br />Nyaris tiga belas tahun sejak pertama saya mengenal KMPN. Saya tidak lagi bisa seperti dulu melihat dinamika yang terjadi di KMPN, tetapi saya berharap rasa kepemilikan itu yang tetap ada dalam dada anggota KMPN muda. Saya percaya, dengan satu nilai ini saja, spirit kekeluargaan KMPN akan tetap ada. Satu hal yang saya yakini bahwa dengan memiliki rasa kepemilikan, hal itu cukup membuat seseorang bersedia memberikan potensi terbaiknya dengan menanggung risikonya.</div>

Today, it was rain again here. Different from other people who ‘hate’ it, I love it. Some frowned as they thought it was strange to love rain. But I have my own reason. I started loving it when I was a child. It was the joy time when I could spend time for hours to play in the field or swimming in the river under the pouring rain even when I got a fever or cough. Now, every time it pours, I always recall the experience. <br /><br />Rain completed my childhood.Muhammad Ilham Adhynugrahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12102760698162476205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34751637.post-33290388066422910012014-02-06T17:01:00.000+00:002014-02-06T17:47:01.857+00:00#003 | Gratefulness Project: Opportunities in education<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;">I am grateful for
opportunities I have received in education. I consider myself as a lucky person
as I have been well educated since my childhood. Honestly, I have no idea how
can I study abroad. But, here I am. Once, little did I know about anything, but
I have been learning and now in hunger to know many things. Perhaps, the opportunities
also come to other people, but many are too afraid to embrace them. I was
afraid. I am still afraid. However, embracing them means I am grateful for their
coming, isn’t it?</span>

#30tulisan, here another challenge that I set for myself. The challenge is
simple but I think it would be uneasy to be done. Here the rules for the
challenge:</span></span></div>

hundred things that I am grateful for;</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">It is not a list but a
description;</span></span></li>

precisely a hundred words;</span></span></li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;">The first two sentences is: <b>What I am grateful

was shaking, afraid! </span><span lang="IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: IN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">A hundred words is a massive challenge. I thought
it was more than enough, but then I realized it was far too little to show a
proper gratefulness. About the things I would write and the amount of days, I
thought I would be able to handle them. However, I realized they have been the challenges
for not making cliché writings. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">However, I thought challenge</span><span lang="IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: IN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">s</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> should be good to keep the

I smiled as I remembered when I read a facebook status of a friend of mine when she eventually had the chance to eat rice after several times. She was very excited and happy. At that time she was in her study abroad. I smiled, it is not because it was funny, but these days I realize that I have different response to that kind of situation. I am not that craze when I got the chance to eat rice, instead I have been losing my appetite to it as what happens to some other food.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the course of my life (<strike>there was an awkward feeling when I wrote this</strike>), I have been loosing my appetite to some variety of crackers, instant noodles, durians, jackfruits, bakso (meatball soup), chocolate bar, fried, and now rice. In some extent, I feel similar situation starts happening for meat/poultry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Facing this situation does not mean I stop eating them. I will give an example with durians. I used to like them very much (while now I consider it is just like other food). To show how I loved them, I will share a story.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once, when I was in the second year of primary school, I asked my mother to buy durians. She refused it. Protesting her decision, I skipped my school that day. Predictably, instead of getting what I wanted, my mother got mad and punished me. She put me in a sack. Experiencing that punishment made me never skip my class ever since. However, it did not heal my desire to eat durians. Instead of asking my mother, I asked my father and it worked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For years, when it came to the season, I could eat durians as many as they were served. But at one point, I decided to stop. Now, I just take reasonable portion --maybe one or two piece instead to have all pieces in one whole fruit--. There is a feeling within telling me that it is not good to eat more. The same situation also happened with other food I said before.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I think about it, I feel it should be considered as a part freedom. I do not have any attachment to a particular type of food except the halaal status of the food. I also feel the best taste of food lies on the first bite. The delicacy will fade out by the next bites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Contrary what I said before, there is one particular situation when I will 'break the rules', eating more than portion I think I should have, and it because there is another rule with higher level: not to wasting food. But, it would be another story.</div>

Several days ago, I had a chat with a colleague of mine about grass. Yes, grass!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This vegetation has contributions in several aspects for people here in the UK. It is not just a paltry contribution as it run economics in the UK. Why is that so?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To answer that question, it is started from the fact there are studies and research about grass. It is clear then if one particular object is being researched it means that object has significance for life. But what the significance of grass?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay, we can list the significance of grass. We can start from a serious one; the study is important for animal husbandry. So it is reasonable to perform a research in this field. However, the massive study on this particular area is not related to husbandry but sport. Sport? Yes, sport!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Who does not know about Premier League? Actually, for the sake of this sport, research on grass or turf is really significant. We are not only entertained by the skill of players but also the atmosphere of the game. The atmosphere is influenced including by the sophisticated system of the soccer field and the condition of turf. It is hardly to see tarnish or muddy field even when a game is held during rain or even winter. The situation more or less also influence the performance of the players.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, horse racing gain most benefit from the studies on turf. It cannot be deny that, to some extent, economics in the UK is run by sports betting and horse racing is including the most important of all. To support this interest, it would be needed a variety of turf that can grow well. The turf should be fast growing as well as have strength as it would be trampled by horses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Listen his description about turf, I was amazed. Something that in my eyes is invaluable, actually may give contribution more than I can imagine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also thinking, so many things in Indonesia that is consider insignificant may have values that still need to be discover. Means what? So many opportunities for research, business, and life.</div>

Today I went to British National Gallery in London. Actually, at first I was about to see the Chinese New Year Festival at Trafalgar Square. However, since it was too crowded, I decided to go to the gallery. As I went there, I also experienced to hear a curator explaining paintings for the first time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have never understood the work of a curator. However, my perception about this profession changed as I listened to the description of some paintings there. It opened my eyes how a painting could be categorized as a masterpiece or not. Today I had the description of three paintings of three different artists: Titian's "Bacchus and Ariadne", Peter Paul Rubens' "Samson and Delilah", and Joseph Mallord William Turner's "Rain, Steam, and Speed - The Great Western Railway".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this writing I want to share several things I got from the curator, especially about "Bacchus and Ariadne".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The painting was produced in 1520-1523 from classical poets Catullus and Philostratus. The painting depict the story of Bacchus, the god of wine (in Greek mythology), and Princess Ariadne. Princess Ariadne fell in love with a hero Theseus. However, Theseus abandoned her leaving her in desperation. She wandering around the shore searching for sight of her lover. And she was surprised when Bacchus who had fell in love with got off his chariot and her asked her to marry him. He offered the sky as wedding gift, in which one day she would be a constellation as a sign of immortality (as she would keep remembered when people look at the constellation).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Titian (or Tiziano Vecellio in Italian, born ca. 1490 and died in 1576) interpreted the whole story in one painting. The painting acts as a time machine. There, Ariadne stands in the front of sea looking for her lover over the horizon. However, her body language also show a response to Bacchus. In real life, it must be difficult to have such position of Ariadne --the position may make someone fall down if he/she trying it--. Her body language shows confusion between broken heart feeling, shocked, fear and (perhaps) interest to experience romance again. Meanwhile, her future as constellation is depicted in the top left of the painting. Depiction of Bacchus and his group is also very detailed. Anatomically, the creature seems very real. The painting really tell a story.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another extraordinary about the painting is color composition. The painting is recognized with the use of the color blue prominently. It can be seen several layer of blue for the sky, as well as the sea. Different measure of blue is put on flowers, Ariadne's dress and another woman's skirt. The curator said that to produce variance of blue like TiTian did, it needs time and skill. The blue pigment used in the painting was extraction product from a particular stone and was produced for months. So it is reasonable that he spent years completing his work. It was said that he spent such time to read the poets before he started painting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The painting "Samson and Delilah" also brings multilayer interpretation. Listening to the curator as well as looking at the painting, some weight of sadness appeared in my heart. Somehow, I can felt the tragic history of the couple. Meanwhile the painting of Turner, I cannot tell much as I did not make it to finish it. I left earlier to catch the train home. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The curator, she said that complexity and details of the painting made it was very valuable. She compared the painting to a Lamborghini. She added that the painting was owned by England and Scotland, so time to time it was moved from England to Scotland and vice versa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The explanation on those paintings made me realize how smart the painters were. I also managed to understand the profession of a curator, how he or she is able to translate the language of painters to common language we understand. It must need some extent of knowledge about many things (as I said aforementioned -- which is including history, anatomy, psychology, chemistry, etc.). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am really grateful for today's experience at the gallery. It was a good, good experience and I liked it very much as it expand my knowledge to weigh an art.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I want to show my gratitude to friends of mine who created this <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/%2330tulisan">challenge of #30tulisan</a>. Everyday, step by step through the process of completing the task I realize how small I am. I live in abundance of blessing. This challenge has open my eyes that I won't make it to list blessings that I have been receiving. So many things I wanted to spill into words and fulfill the challenge, but I could not. Most of them were indescribable event though in the same time very simple and I have been receiving them every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once I heard the challenge, I prepared myself a week before it started. I produced <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2013_12_01_archive.html">eight writings</a> on the last eight days of December last year. And eventually I managed to completing the challenge by this <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/emotional-resilience.html">writing</a> by today. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was difficult at the beginning to start writing. But, by time, I liked it. I would felt there was something missing in my day without writing. This was a kind of feeling on 19 January, when I could not make it to seize the day. I went to London and came back when the day is over. Actually, what happened that day was a reprimand of what I wrote a day before about <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/skip-day.html">skipping a day</a>. In that writing I said that I wanted to skip a day for fatigue I felt, and I also said that the writing was mere information and my attempt to save my promise about the challenge. I was reminded at once, when I could not make it the day after whereas I was highly eager. The day of 19 January was the day I underestimated opportunity I had, and used my exhaustion as an excuse. I learned a good thing that day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was praised very much for <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/repost-short-story-pengadilan.html">this writing</a> and then <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/repost-short-story-sebuah-ikatan-cinta.html">this writing</a>, which were re-posting of my writing a couple years ago. Statistically, up now the pages with the writings has been read for 121 and 116 times. The writings made me realized that I was not confidence enough with myself as they waited too long to be shared. The praises on those actually helped me to extent my spirit to keep writing and fulfil this challenge of #30tulisan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I wrote about <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/cranfield-university-its-paradoxes.html">situation in my campus</a> and also about <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/cranfield-university-on-keeping-faith.html">keeping faith</a> there, they was my way to show my grateful to have the opportunity to enjoy education abroad in very supporting environment. I realized how rare the opportunity like this could be received in the same time. And when I was writing this part in this epilogue, again my feeling of abundance occurred in my heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes I put emotion in my writing, like <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/unimportant-afternoon-blabbing-of-mine.html">this writing</a>. I kept that writing to be a reminder that however the turbulence in my heart it is an action that make differences. After wrote it down, I spent several days to settled the matter that upsetting me. I also realized, that several part of the writing was weighed with my judgement. I was embarrassed to read it again, but I again I kept it to remind me that being impulsive is not what I need when I am facing a problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this paragraph, I wanted to talk about my favorite writing I produce in this challenge. The one I liked most was <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/place-of-peacefulness.html">a poem</a> I published on 24 January. I had to think deeply to produce eight rows. This was my reflection that I was very small and it was a good thing. Being small means I feel content with all I have. Nothingness I said in that writing showed my reflecting thought that I was a mere human being that very lucky live in abundance. Abundance of love. Abundance of opportunity. Abundance of choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The tense of the game was even higher when the upcoming challenge came: Writing by Request. I managed the challenge in <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/a-small-note-about-chocolate.html">this writing</a> and also <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/opinion-indonesia-what-have-to-be.html">this writing</a>. It was even more difficult, because I did not know what the expectation from that challenge. I felt that my writings did not meet the expectation. I realized that questioning what the essentials of the challenge, which I did not do it, would help me to measure to what extent I should expand my idea into my writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every single writing was weighed by my thought, my feeling, and my hope. Regarding to hope, this challenge of #30tulisan has opened my eyes that I could inspire people with words. Maybe writing is my way to contribute to other people as contributing is always the dream of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once again, I thank you, my friends, for creating this opportunity. I grow and develop here.</div>

<i>"Success represents the 1% of your work which results from the 99% that is called failure."</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b>Soichiro Honda</b></i><b> </b></blockquote>
<br />
Yesterday, I attended a lecture held by School of Engineering on Selling and Negotiating for Technical Types. The presenter was Prof. Lynette Ryals, a professor of strategic sales in School of Management, Cranfield University. She was one of the only two professor on sales in the UK.<br />
<br />
She started her presentation by stating that selling was a skill that everybody should have. She added that researchers needed the skill to sell themselves and research ideas. She also stated that recent tendency showed more sales people were coming from technical position. So, it was important to have salable character.<br />
<br />
She said that one of the most important character we should have was emotional resilience. The sign of the character was a gut of "I can do it! I will do it!". Someone with emotional resilience would bound very quickly from state of failure. From statistic, she tried to convey that people in top positions in many organizations reached the positions not because they were cleverer than others but simply because they had that character of resilience.<br />
<br />
Listening to the presentation, I measured myself, "do I have this kind of character?"<br />
<br />
Well, I am still pondering about it.Muhammad Ilham Adhynugrahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12102760698162476205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34751637.post-2558380564448703542014-01-30T23:03:00.002+00:002014-01-30T23:14:25.913+00:00Wisdom from Al-Hasan al-Basri: Do good with your wealth<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Reading this wisdom, I just feel free. No need to feel some attachments to possessions. <i>Alhamdulillah....</i>Muhammad Ilham Adhynugrahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12102760698162476205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34751637.post-16360886903464728802014-01-29T22:46:00.001+00:002014-01-29T22:53:16.009+00:00Fortune cookies' wisdom<div style="text-align: justify;">
The remoteness of Cranfield University (as I described in a previous writing) is sometimes very daunting. In the beginning, excitement that pervades the activity, but through time the feeling of homesick emerges. Fortunately, at least once in a week, scholars from Indonesia gathers to have dinner together. We share stories, jokes, experiences, plans, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The place we usually use for dinner is a Chinese restaurant at the campus. The owner is a flamboyant old man came from Penang, Malaysia. We call him Uncle Lim, that also become the name of the restaurant. Even though the taste of the foods do not resemble completely Indonesian's flavors, it is enough to cure homesickness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the uniqueness of having dinner there, when we finish our meal, Uncle Lim always presents us fortune cookies. Fortune cookies is a crackers in a form of shell that is wrapped in red metallic packing. Inside the shell there is a piece of paper with wisdom words on it. While sometimes my friends got silly wisdom, I in contrary keep getting words that spot on the situation I face. that is the reason I am collecting those piece of paper. Here I share several wisdom I got from the cookies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Keep your feet on the ground, even though your friends flatter you."</i></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got that just several days after I was praised for <a href="http://adhynugraha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/repost-short-story-pengadilan.html">this writing</a>. I was lucky to be reminded that the acknowledgements I got was the challenge to keep learning. I knew that one good appreciation in the beginning was not the evidence of my quality on this. I still have a long journey to the stage where my writing come into maturity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."</i></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These words of wisdom came when I felt very bored. I decided to spent Christmas holiday at my campus to work on my tasks. However, instead of completing the task, boredom brought me to inexcusable laziness. When I got the piece of paper with those words, I realized that the laziness was my downfall. Then I decided to quit from it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Snowflakes one of nature's most fragile things, but just look at what they can do when they stick together."</i></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this one, it came when I read so many discouraging news about Indonesia. I felt very weak as I barely could do nothing. But the words reminded me that I could not bring changes if I was alone. But how to make changes together? Perhaps, what I could do was to keep writing and sharing my thougt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Knowing other is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment."</i></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I like this very much. This is a wisdom that I think can perfectly depict my opinion about myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Kindness and honesty can only be expected from the strong."</i></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again, this is just exactly I need. These series of words remind me to keep strong. Because when I am strong the best quality of mine will occurs. Kindness and honesty, they are two things that I believe if I keep preserving it, God will preserve me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Victory belongs to the most persevering."</i></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was reminded to keep my rhythm on completing my PhD program. Small continuing progress is better than trying to catch up everything in the end. I understand, there are consequences for this choice as in most cases I am a sprinter. However, I realize that a three-year program is not suitable for this method. In the case of my PhD, it seem I need to be a marathon runner instead. To be persevering in small pace, I am really not into it, but as I have decided to pursue the degree I will do it. <i>In-sha Allah</i>, I am ready to face any consequences accompanying this decision.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the latter part of this writing, I want to express my gratefulness to Allah The Almighty for keep communicating with me by the words on those small pieces of paper. Every time, He remembers me even though often I do not notice or even sometime show my indifference. <i>Astaghfirullah walhamdulillah....</i></div>

We talked about my research progress. I presented an initial draft for a conference paper that he asked me to prepare several times ago. The discussion was liquid and I was happy for that situation.<br />
<br />
Then, before completing the session, I asked him, "may I ask you one more question?"<br />
<br />
"That's fine."<br />
<br />
"As you may notice, I keep addressing you with Dr. *****, especially in my emails. Is that okay with you? I mean, this is a common habit from my country to address with certain salutations to other people. Or it would be convenience I call you just by your first name?"<br />
<br />
"That's okay. I understand (that) students from several countries, they are more convenience to use salutations."<br />
<br />
"Hmm... actually, that is indeed what common in my country. However, I came from different culture. We address people just by saying the names. So...?"<br />
<br />

I have been challenged to write about how Indonesia can go international. The topic is not easy. Instead of talking about go international, Indonesia still has many issues to be solved. Complexity of problems that are faced by the country is beyond imagination. The problems are like tangled yarn. Many of solutions have been proposed, covering many aspects and approaches starting from education, culture, law, politics, economics, and so on and so fort.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I think about all those approaches? All of them are necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, why they do not work?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe the answer is about goodwill. Every attempt is nothing without this. This is what mostly missing from all those approaches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But how to measure an intention? That is a question that is very difficult to answer. The same actions could have different values and objectives. I think the only clue to show a goodwill is consistency. The phenomenon happens these days is how easily people change when he or she manages different states. This is not only about the leaders, but also the people of the country. There are many examples for this situation. Among the leaders of this country, how many are slipped because their position. Meanwhile, in the grass root, how many demonstrations and boycotting occur to show their distastes but in the same time leave behind their responsibilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Consistency as reflection of goodwill is one the first challenges to be recognized globally, aside the awareness as a nation. The combination of two is what Indonesia need to pour in any approaches. That approaches should move in parallel (<strike>not in serial</strike>) because all of them are important.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Concerning the awareness, this is related to the character of the country, the nation, and the people. What is our best character? What is our value? What makes Indonesia different with other countries and will stand out with it? Redefining value of a country with more than 200 million people is surely uneasy task. Can we imagine to unite many ideas, uncounted interests, and various culture involved into one common value? Maybe, it is beyond our imagination, but that price should be paid to change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my humble opinion, Indonesia will be recognized internationally when they (read: the country, the nation and the people) show the uniqueness. Because we are different, so we are special. Trying to mimic other countries is eventually make Indonesia is in the middle of nowhere in global competition, although we have unlimited potency from natural resources to human resources.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, the questions are:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do we have a goodwill for better Indonesia?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do we have willingness to change the face of Indonesia? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Will that goodwill and willingness be proved with our actions?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Will that actions be done continuously whatever they take?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do we have courage to spread the spirit of change?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do we have intention to spread out the questions aforementioned? </div>
