Success is not from Harvard


The sky was so bright yesterday. Birds sang songs. Cats slept all day long. Dosen-dosen pada males ngajar. Kemarin adalah hari pertama gw jadi tutor. Asik. Ketemu sama anak-anak baru yang pada manggil gw ‘kak’, berasa dihormati abis. Mulai sekarang gw harus membiasain diri gw dipanggil ‘kak’, soalnya sebelumnya gw harus kayang di atas signboard sevel dlu baru gw dihormatin. Tapi, kebanyakan dari mereka malah lemparin kacang.

Kemarin gw ngeh satu hal. Tentang Bill Gates. Waktu tutor kemarin gw kasih liat ke anak didik gw video Keong Racunnya Shinta dan Jojo. Oh bukan, video pidatonya Bill Gates yang bener. Ternyata dia itu drop out dari Harvard, dan dia adalah pemilik perusahaan microsoft tanpa memiliki gelar sarjana apapun. Dari situ gw sadar, kalau Binus jauh lebih baik dari Harvard. Terima kasih Bapak Rektor karena telah menerima saya yang suka ngupil ini di Binus University.

Bill Gates at his unyu time. Aaron Carter?
Jadi, sukses itu bukannya diraih dari gelar-gelar kita. Tapi bagaimana kita menyelaraskan ambisi dan pengambilan keputusan yang tepat. Ceilah. Walaupun pendidikan kita memang gak setinggi pohon yang ada di lapangan keraton Jogja, oh iya gw jadi inget satu hal. Bener gak sih kita gak bisa jalan lurus ke arah pohon itu kalau mata kita ditutup?

Back to topic, sorry tadi gw ngaco sebentar. Jadi walaupun kita gak sepintar professor-professor yang suka bikin pesawat, klo gw bikin pesawat kertas aja udah pasti jatoh langsung pesawatnya. Tapi, kalau lo punya keinginan, apapun bisa terjadi saudara-saudara.

Really?

Happy Writing

Have you ever being asked, "Why do you write blog?"
If the person was me, I will spend hours to answer that question. Well, that question was bothering me until now.

Usually, people write to express what's inside them. Inside their heart, their mind, their feelings, even their anger. Yes, sometimes people write to cool their anger, and we can't deny that.
But me? What's my purpose for writing? Well, the answer isn't as simple as I thought.
People write poem to express their feelings.
People write stories because they have imaginations waiting to be realized.
People write love letters because they want to express their love for someone they loved.
People write their assignment to get a high mark.
People write a job report because their boss tell them to do so.
But, do you know the similarity between those people?
They become happy after it.

Many things made me upset recently. I don't want to discuss about that right now but I'll tell you one. The one that made me really upset is the part-time job that changed into intern-job. Screw that. They don't know how I really excited for this job. Make my own money, and buy a lot of things with that. Once again, screw them.

Finally, I get the answer why I write. You know the answer, don't you?
