Bonne Anniversaire!

Happy birthday to you. :)

Yesterday was August 7th 2012 and that means the 23rd birthday of my boy. Yeaaayy!

May all the best things come to you.

Be wiser, be a man.

I just wanna share some pics and say huge thanks to Aryo, Deary, Noval, Abi, Dinda, Nanda, Vani, Oki, Oki kecil, the contributors in the video of Wahyu Agus Kurniawan 23rd bithday. Bunch of thanks, guys. :))))

Yesterday was one of my happiest moment. Seriously this is not a lips service, haha.. That was some kind of feeling when you can do something to make other people happy with what you do.

The birthday is not only about the video we made, (yes, WE, because you guys are the contributors), but also it was about sharing the moment we have no matter how far we are. Far in terms of distance.

We got technology. :D Yay! Sooo happy we can enjoy the benefit.

Although I did major mistake regarding the video (I should converted the video format first before combine them all, later I knew it from Farah and Ikhsan. --" OMG thanks guys), but the birthday boy already got your message.

Your birthday messages, your birthday wishes.

That was the MOMENT. And that was priceless.

I also want to say thanks to Mamonk, Ajeng, Aya, Dito, Kotek. I'll text ya later. :p

Soo, really hope you like it hey you birthday boy. :D

Happy birthday.

Bonne anniversaire said people in Paris.

Why Write?

My last writing on "A Bit Reactivation" means a bit. Really a bit. Because after that, I didn't even memorize that I have a blog to maintain. --" So from now on, I'll try to write my experience, and forgive me if there are any grammar mistakes. :D

So, my supervisor for my thesis deeply encourage all of his students to keep writing. Because as he told me, the man who can change the world is the man who writes. When he said that, automatically I dig my memory and found two names, Plato and Socrates. The Philosophers. Plato was a student of Socrates, and two of them, in my opinion were the symbol of intelligentsia. Along with Aristotle, who surprisingly was the student of Plato, they helped to lay a Western philosophy and science (en.wikipedia/wiki/Plato). And I agreed my supervisor that the man who writes are one kind of a man who can change the world. Despite the fact that this world also need, what I call "actioners", the man who put their belief in action more than just on a piece of paper.

What I'm trying to say is: it is really good if we can do action, it's a must! And it will be better when we can mix actions and words so the impact will be greater than if we just do one of them. One is good, but two is better.

We learn from books. We should thank the authors because they are smart and have willingness to share their knowledge.

That is one thing I learn. We have the knowledge so we have responsibility to share it. Through writing.

Catch ya soon!

A Bit Reactivation

It's been so long I didn't touch this blog. Well, yeah now here I am back to you.

Mmm.....honestly I got nothing to write here. Not yet. Still shy because I had nothing left in my head.
No important things to share with you guys.

So yaa, later I will. :)

See ya soon.

Sedikit Tentang Integritas

INTEGRITAS. Apa sih artinya kata aneh itu? "kalau kamu punya integritas, artinya kamu akan melakukan segala sesuatunya secara positif dan konsisten" itu kutipan dari buku Young on Top karya Billy Boen. -a very recommended book for you who wants to be on top-
Saya hanya bermaksud berbagi atas kejadian-kejadian yang pernah saya alami. Orang-orang hebat yang pernah saya temui hampir semuanya bilang tentang "ketekunan". Mereka cerminan dari kata itu. Di dalam literatur manapun, konsistensilah yang jadi dewanya orang-orang sukses.dan lihat apa yang pantas mereka dapatkan atas jerih payah itu.

Mas Billy juga menyinggung tentang "...hal positif yang kamu lakukan...", karena di bukunya dia menulis bahwa banyak orang yang bisa sukses tanpa menerapkan integritas. Tapi pertanyaan selanjutnya adalah, seberapa lama itu akan bertahan?
Masuk akal. Mengingat sejauh peradaban manusia (lebay dikit ah), hal-hal positiflah yang selalu bertahan.

Tanya : "Tapi kan ini Indonesia, di mana semua hal yang putih bisa jadi abu-abu bahkan hitam."
Jawab : "Justru karena ini Indonesia! Emangnya kamu seneng kalau Indonesia begini2 aja? Nggak kan.makanya diubah. :)"
Sounds cliche uh? Saya yang menulis catatan ini dengan sok-sok nasionalis dan sok suci pun mungkin belum tentu menjalankan prinsip ini sepenuhnya. Tapi at least, kita harus coba. Kita harus percaya dan lakuin itu. Ingat kata tokoh Arai dalam novel Sang Pemimpi? "bermimpilah, maka Tuhan akan memeluk mimpi-mimpi itu" Mimpi aja dipeluk sama Tuhan, gimana kalau bener2 dilakukan? :)

Ngga ada salahnya buat jadi pioneer, orang yang inisiatif untuk jalan duluan, jadi leader. Siapa bilang gampang? Ngga ada. Tapi justru karena itu, pemimpin adalah orang yang kuat. Orang yang berani duluan, bilang ya atau engga dengan tegas, dan tetep harus memimpin pake hati. :)
Mudah2an catatan random malam ini berguna buat yang baca dan ngga jadi sekedar catatan omong kosong buat saya. (tolong Ya Tuhan) :D

*I really suggest you to read his book, Young on Top : 30 Rahasia Sukses di Usia Muda. Dengan cover buku warna kuning terang, pasti gampang dicari di toko buku. And follow him on twitter @BillyBoen. ;)

Note : I also posted this one on my facebook account.

Braveness

I'm 19 years old and I wanna do something.
Something important for people, something significant in my life.
I met many people, so that I knew much thoughts of them.
Their amazing mind, their great moves.
I wanna be great in a young age.
As great as a human could be.
Beneficial to others.
To my country.
To my nation.
To the world.

I wanna be brave. I need that.
