Berjuta Inspirasi dalam 5 Hari – Forum Indonesia Muda 12

“Pemuda Indonesia!”

“Aku, untuk, bangsaku!”

Sembari mengepalkan telapak tangan kanan di depan bahu kiri, ke bahu kanan dan ke atas menuju langit-langit!

Begitulah jargon utama dari Forum Indonesia Muda (FIM) 12 yang beberapa hari yang lalu baru saja saya ikuti. FIM 12 ini diadakan di Bumi Perkemahan dan Graha Wisata (BUPERTA), Cibubur, Jakarta Timur, mulai dari tanggal 28 April hingga 2 Mei 2012. Sungguh 5 hari yang takan pernah terlupakan dalam hidup saya, yaitu bisa tergabung dalam keluarga besar dimana setiap anggota keluarganya adalah orang-orang yang peka dan peduli terhadap permasalahan bangsa.

FIM (Forum Indonesia Muda) adalah sebuah forum independen yang beranggotakan pemuda dan mahasiswa dari berbagai perguruan tinggi maupun organisasi kepemudaan di Indonesia, dari Aceh sampai Papua, bahkan yang sedang berada di luar negeri. FIM dibentuk untuk menjadi sarana peningkatan kompetensi pemuda dan mahasiswa dalam rangka mempersiapkan pemimpin masa depan dan wahana silaturahmi antarpemuda dari berbagai latar belakang. Hingga saat ini, FIM sudah menaungi pemuda-pemudi dari seluruh nusantara hingga angkatan 12, dengan total 13 angkatan yaitu mulai dari FIM 1, FIM 2, hingga FIM 12 dan ditambah 1 angkatan FIM Rescue. (http://forumindonesiamuda.org/about-3/)

Untuk FIM 12, tema yang diangkat dalam pelatihan adalah mengenai character building yaitu dengan tagline khasnya #manakaraktermu. Materi dan pematerinya sungguh inspiratif yang bisa menggugah para peserta maupun panita untuk semakin bersemangat membentuk karakter pribadi dalam rangkaian kehidupan yang akan dijalani kedepannya. Namun, tambang inspirasi yang sesungguhnya bukan hanya bersumber dari pemateri saja, justru keberjalanan acara yang membawa kedekatan antar panita dan peserta-lah yang lebih memberikan hujan inspirasi bagi setiap individu yang tergabung didalamnya.

Saya pribadi jujur tidak merasakan gep sama sekali baik dengan panitia maupun teman 1 angkatan FIM 12. Oleh karena itu canda-gurau dan obrolan santai antar orang menjadi hal yang biasa di 5 hari pelatihan tersebut. Teman-teman yang paling dekat dan banyak memberikan inspirasi untuk saya adalah teman-teman satu asrama dan satu kelompok. Saat pelatihan, peserta laki-laki dibagi menjadi 2 asrama dan saya mendapatkan asrama Imam Bonjol.

Di asrama, hampir setiap waktu kosong kita gunakan untuk bertukar pikiran dan informasi dari asal kampus dan latar belakang masing-masing. Saya banyak sekali mengobrol dengan orang-orang hebat yang baru saya kenal kala itu. Ada yang baru turun jabatan dari presiden BEM universitas, sedang memegang amanah sebagai ketua BEM fakultas, inisiator dari suatu gerakan sosial, sedang berkuliah di luar negeri dan orang-orang dengan pikiran besar lainnya yang tercermin dari setiap kata yang terlontar dari mulutnya hingga bisa saya cerna dengan telinga dan otak saya.

Bertukar pikiran dalam nuasa kebersamaan dan kekeluargaan

Dari hasil obrolan singkat seperti itulah justru yang jika diakumulasikan mengalahkan ribuan inspirasi dari para pemateri. Diskusi masalah bangsa secara solutif, saling tukar pikiran mengenai politik kampus, membahas isu BBM sembari makan pagi, melempar gagasan untuk pilgub DKI nanti, hingga menceritakan pengalaman hidup masing-masing orang yang terkadang kocak namun mengandung nilai-nilai motivatif yang bisa diambil. Hal-hal inilah yang secara tidak langsung terkonversi menjadi bahan bakar bagi diri saya untuk terus maju kedepannya. Saya semakin yakin bahwa Indonesia bisa menjadi negara besar dan benar-benar merdeka di tangan para pemuda kelak.

Sungguh 5 hari yang luar biasa sepanjang hidup saya. Nuansa kekeluargaan kental yang tercipta, hingga Atmosfir positif yang sungguh menyelimuti seluruh rangkaian acara Forum Indonesia Muda 12 ini. Ingin rasanya terus marajut hari-hari positif dengan mereka hingga kita semua bosan satu sama lain dan bergairah untuk segera menyebarkannya ke adik-adik kita nanti.

Namun kita semua sadar bahwa 5 hari tersebut hanyalah sebagai batu loncatan untuk semakin melejit kedepannya. Diharap FIM 12 ini bisa menjadi amunisi bahan bakar untuk melaju di ranah dan wadah pengembangan diri kita masing-masing. Dengan bahan bakar jutaan inpirasi yang didapat selama 5 hari tersebut, kita semua siap menambah kecepatan di jalan masing-masing dengan satu garis finish yang akan menghubungkan kita semua. Yaitu garis keberhasilan dalam 1 keluarga yang akan membawa Indonesia menjadi negara besar yang mensejahterakan seluruh rakyatnya. Amiin!

Semangat setiap anggota keluarga FIM 12! Tunjukan karakter baik kita di setiap detik, menit, jam hingga setiap untaian rantai kehidupan!

Future Leader Summit: Great Moment to Start Having Entrepreneurship Mindset

Past April, 22th I joined one of awesome event in Semarang, Undip exactly. The name of the event is Future Leader Summit. This event is such kinda summit moment that is gathering all of future leaders from some cities in Indonesia to make some project by given some knowledge before. There are so many project topics here, yet these future leader only can choose one of them that related with their passion. And I chose  “Business and Development” which is not caused because of my passion yet because the speakers are so inspiring for me. At that time Kak Mohammad Iqbal and Kang Goris Mustaqim.

In UNDIP

Conference Room

The simple rundown of this event is, first we had such a seminar with a keynote speaker, Iman Usman that truly motivated all of participants in order to make a change. Then, after the keynote speaker all of participant go to the each rooms they chose (room here means a place that one project topic be conducted, both seminar and the workshop project) and met with some people who had the same passion.

Since I chose business development I directly went to the location in the second floor of the building at that time. First time I entered the room, the atmosphere was truly different. All people ahead of my face at there such showed the aura of the real entrepreneur, Haha. Yet, even though it hears like a little exaggerating, I really feels (not an aura of course) that what made me deserve to enter this room compared with the other competence participants. I still have a little passion in entrepreneurship, and also I still have no more corporation that can be proud of. Yet I ensure myself, that it was not too important because I still have an aching wish to know more about the entrepreneurship.

Finally, after met with some of new friends from the other cities and listened the seminar from inspiring speaker kak Iqbal and Kang Goris.. I just recently realized the main important point of the entrepreneurship. Indonesia population growing extremely fast each years and the people that need the job are also increased coincide with a few job field available, final words causes the jobless. So here, collegian like me who has a little higher degree in the eyes of civilians has to be the main actor in the movement to go to better Indonesia. We are the main role to enlarge the job field in Indonesia. We are the ones who should increase the GDP of Indonesia. And we are the ones who must change the percentage of the Indonesia entrepreneur that in dawn couldn’t reach the number 1% to be the number more than 2%. Because, the number 2% is the minimal percentage in order to make Indonesia more independent at least in job sector.

Kang Goris explain about Indonesia and Entrepreneurship.

So here, I change all of my mindset especially the vision what I am going to be for the future. Although perhaps I will choose to work first to search the experience or continue my education to higher level first than go to entrepreneurship world, or directly to be entrepreneur after the graduation… but the main goal that I want to reach is still one that want to be the entrepreneur that gives the contribution for Indonesia and the world. So from this Future Leader Summit moment, I will start to dig more about the entrepreneurship knowledge and have the entrepreneurship mindset for the next of my life. InsyaAllah.

PS: Ohya, the matters and the knowledge I got from this FLS, insyaAllah I will share in my next posting. So keep it up.

Dear WordPress :D

Dear WordPress,

I truly in vacillation situation now, it hesitates me, that I’m happy or sad, even disappointed,  I don’t know at all. But what are you for be here WordPress. I really want to give utterance of my feelings to you, just wanna convince myself that I’m not broken now.  So WordPress, permit me, myself, phrases all of my feeling now to you, to comfort my heart and my mind.

First WordPress, you know, there was a very remarkable, mournful, and inscrutable moment happened tonight between me and a girl, very witty girl . But, I’m so sorry WordPress, I can’t tell you what is that. That was a very secretly unforgettable moment in my life, and I can’t share in here. Just let be mine and hers. However, let we forget about the moment. It will be better if we just talk about what I was feeling when the moment was happening and after.

At that night, I was really confused because the damn feeling that I was feeling in to her. I was not so sure:

Is this like other people said as LOVE ? –(:#$7*0@%$P<3)–

C’mon WordPress, don’t be so shock like that. I’m a male teenager, so it’s still normal if I feel l*ve. You know WordPress, I was deadly feel disturbed because this d*mn feeling to her. If I just let it flow without any movement, it would just torture myself by my own. I couldn’t concentrate when I started to study, I couldn’t do something normal cause she always obsessed inside of my mind. Really WordPress, if now I have DEATHNOTE, I will directly write her name in that book no doubt anymore. -,-!! I really want to kill her, (if I can) in order this d*mn feeling loses away from my mind. You know WordPress what I had already done that night to her. You really wanna know. Really?

Once again I really sorry WordPress, I can’t tell you what happened between me and her. I can’t tell you, what I have already done to make this d*mn feeling loses away and be very far away for my life. Like I said before let this moment be my reminiscence and unforgettable moment between I and her. Let be mine and hers.

But then WordPress, don’t worry because you aren’t satisfied with my story. Caused the second that I very want to share with you is:

Now I don’t feel the d*mn feeling like people said as LOVE anymore at all. I don’t LOVE her anymore like I did yesterday. It’s lost from my life NOW. Although I can’t forget her full, let the time will delete the rest.

I’m now just a SINGLE boy who still wants to find the meaning of life. And even, the one that very convinces me is, in ISLAM, my religion, there is no named “steady” or “pacaran” in its. So I’ll keep my faith as could as I can, I’ll be far away from that word.

Let God leads me to find my best pathway of life to reach happiness in this provisional world and hereafter

Now WordPress, what I have to do now is, reconstruct my mindset, what I am now, and what I will be tomorrow, without turn my face back to see past . I tell this to you WordPress without any conceited or other bad meaning but just solely to make myself relieved without any remorse at all. And I hope, I and other people who in seeking the best future, can understand the meaning of life is that. We can’t throw away the word “love” from “life”. But it just, how we control it in order that not plunged into misery or falling to deviate way.

I still can live without any girlfriend. I still can reach what I dream for my future. I can still do normal even better than if I have girlfriend. I can still think freshly without any annoyance feeling. And I can still BE PEOPLE without girlfriend. Since I still don’t know my destiny future, I don’t now when my destined hour is, I don’t know what I will be tomorrow. The only one that I can do is STRUGGLE and PRAY, ask to GOD to give me the best way in the world and hereafter. Because WordPress, if you wanna know:

The only one who can changes your life, is yourself.

The only one who can chooses what do you gonna be, is yourself

The only one who can decides how will your life next, is yourself

NO OTHER.

At the end WordPress, I very relieved, I can tell to you what my feeling now. From now I can do my activities in my life more tranquilly. So I decide and carve in my deepest heart:

–NO LOVE ANYMORE, AT LEAST TILL I GOT MY DREAM UNIVERSITY– *

because:

—JUST I AM WHO CAN DECIDES HOW MY LIFE WILL BE—

*I erase this, caused I’m still confused and doubt with the word LOVE itself, huuh, God please shows me the best through my life

Happy Day with My Cousins

I and My Cousins

1st January ’10, the first day of this year, I spent my time to go to my grandma’s house. It was all because my uncle had a new child, and must be “marhaban” or cut a bit of the baby’s hair like usual done by other new child in Islam. Marhaban did in Saturday night, so I and herewith my big family were getting stuck to prepare many preparation for marhaban in friday. But in this post, I would just write my experiences when I spent my times with my cousins and not discussed about marhaban’s day. So in here I’ll show you when I and my very cute, kind, witty and great cousin spending time with chatting, watching together, and taking photos for reminiscence.

Beneath it all, I didn’t to remember the complete name of my cousins, since I was lazy to use left brain to memorize their name, but I prefer used right brain to memorize their face (ha ha criteria of lazy person). Since I have so many cousins in my big family, so in here I just tell some of them that I think they are interesting for me. So here we are, check it out:

1. Lili

This is my cutest cousins among us I thought. She is the youngest child of my aunt from 4 siblings. We usually call her “Yiyi”, I don’t know, maybe because her tongue couldn’t talked yet, so she always call herself with nickname Yiyi. It’s little awkward. But, you know, it’s really willy freaky hard to take her photo, moreover with me. She always move, or cry if I try to take photo of her. Crying is a mainstay weapon of her if someone wanna try to disturb her. But because of my talent as a professional photographer (ha ha ), I could take her photo, and even I could ask her styled, when I take my camera front of her. You want to know more, how does her face look like? or How cute she is? or how handsome I am? (:P) Well Let’s watch it out:

2. Ing-ga

His name is Lingga bla bla bla.. (as I told before I don’t know my cousin’s complete name). He is elder brother of Lili. And I think, he is really different with his sister, Because you know He is the naughtiest person among my cousins *I thought. He always disturb and arrogate whatever we’re doing and whatever we’re having. So no wonder, if many of my other cousins are crying because of his done. But sometimes I realize that he is not too as naughty as I thought, because he ever lend me his comic, share his game in computer and many again that make us like intimate. And because of that, I often take many photos with him. There we are:

3. Fadil

He has white skin and little chubby. Because of that, it makes him very farcical and amusing for me. He is still enough, and don’t like too much talking, but if we’re talking about Naruto or games relations with Naruto, he always prattle hard stopping. Yup, he is fond of Naruto and other anime like One Piece, doraemon and etc let in comic, film, animation and games. I also took some photos with him, here they are (the red cloth one):

4. Noval

He is still small, couldn’t walk and talk yet, but He is very cute moreover when he is smiling or laughing. Hm, I very want to pinch his cheek when he is smiling with all of my fingers. But the problem from him is he often crying, whenever there is no his parents beside him. So it’s really hard going alongside him without my uncle (his parent) beside us. But I don’t know why, one of solution to make him motionless, with way bring him to go on by car. So although there is no his parent beside him, if we just take him inside car he will quiet without any movement show us he want to cry. Because of that, when we go by car with Noval, it’s the only chance for me to take his photo. And finally I won out take his photos.

5. Della

Her nickname is Della, but I don’t know her complete name. She is still elementary high school and happy girl I think. She always smiling with shows her black and broken teeth inside of her mouth (ha ha). Because of that, she is always shamed whenever I take a camera front of her, and she is in smiling, along of it will show her black and holing teeth. But she is sweet and beautiful little girl, So I proud to take photo together with her (lol). There I and She:

6. Iman

The last cousin I’ll write about is Iman. He is still elementary school too. He is handsome enough I think. I like the style when he is talking, it’s cool . In my grandma’s house he always use microphone to talk and sing with my other cousin breezy. So it whoop it up. But I also accomplish get photos with him:

I think six above of my cousins enough represent among them. But in here I will give Bonus Pictures in this post. *ha ha it’s really not important. Yup but I think I have to show this. Even though the tittle of this post is happy day with my cousin. But I also want show you my private photos with no cousins at all (ha ha). Here we are. Enjoy it

My Parent’s Haj Pilgrimage 2009

7th November – 19th December 2009 was a very admirably big historical event for my parent. Because after waiting along year to years, finally my parent could go to the sacred city Mecca to do haj pilgrimage (Naik Haji). Go haj is the 5th “Pillars of Islam” (Rukun Islam) that Muslims have to do as they can since that’s one of obligatory for adequate people. Because of reason above, my parents plan to go haj in 2009, and Alhamdulillah it’s reached.

But I was actually very regret, I couldn’t accompany and take away them to pilgrim hostel (asrama haji) because I had to join a scientific paper competition at that time. But it was no problem, since I had said goodbye and prayed them one day before departure. But in 7th September my parent hadn’t gone yet to take off to Mecca but then still in Palembang in pilgrim hostel.
