Oma berpidato - Hardiknas 2008

Inilah pidato (baca: e-mail blasting) yang Oma tulis untuk karyawan D~NET Surabaya

---

Kepada Teman-teman D~NET,

Puji Syukur kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa karena hari ini kita bisa memperingati Hardiknas 2008.

Saya, sebagai CSR coordinator ingin mengajak kita semua untuk lebih peduli dengan pendidikan. D~NET punya berbagai event yang bertajuk D~NET Peduli Pendidikan, salah satunya adalah D~NET & Partners Peduli Pendidikan yang akan segera diadakan di bulan Mei 2008 ini. Namun, sebagai keluarga besar D~NET, seberapa peduli sih kita terhadap pendidikan?

Sejumlah surat kabar hari ini mengulas berbagai fenomena di dunia pendidikan: bagaimana pemerintah masih saja memandang sebelah mata dunia pendidikan. Sebagai bangsa Indonesia, dan sebagai warga D~NET yang peduli pendidikan, dengan apa kita bisa merayakan Hari Pendidikan Nasional 2008 ini?

Kebanyakan orang memosisikan pendidikan sekedar sebagai wahana guna mendapatkan pekerjaan dan uang. Jadi, setelah lulus sekolah/kuliah, kita anggap proses belajar itu selesai. Padahal, kalau kita lihat secara holistic, hidup ini adalah proses belajar. Selama kita hidup, kita tidak akan pernah berhenti belajar.
Ada pula yang mengatakan bahwa pendidikan bertujuan mendewasakan, menghasilkan manusia sebagai agent of change, dimana kita bisa terus-menerus belajar dan membuat perubahan-perubahan yang positif. So, kita, sebagai generasi muda penerus bangsa tidak boleh segan-segan untuk menikmati pendidikan (baca: belajar) dan menularkan perubahan positif itu pada orang-orang di sekitar kita.

Marilah dengan kesadaran ini, kita merayakan hari pendidikan nasional 2008. Marilah kita tidak segan-segan untuk terus belajar dan belajar dan belajar, karena semakin modern dunia ini, semakin kita dituntut untuk mempelajari banyak hal baru. Be an agent of change!

Sudah siapkah Anda untuk menghadapi tantangan era globalisasi yang kompetitif?

Selamat hari pendidikan nasional 2008.

Merdeka!

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho

Cold Feet

One of my closest friends is getting married tomorrow another one in May another one in November. and an ex-classmate is also getting married in April/May. and, I dreamed about getting married last night. I remember some months ago I was so enthusiastic with the idea of getting married. Although I knew that our relationship was not yet ready for that stage, I was so pushy to Stefy. I had asked him when exactly we would get married. Ah well, it was all the flashy things that I longed for. Right now, what I want is to avoid it! I am just not brave enough to throw myself into this new status. Don't get me wrong, I am probably just like any other girls out there who like the beautiful wedding gown, like to be made up, like to be the queen of the night. But, have you ever considered what would happen after you wave off the guests and head to your own home, starting your new chapter of life? or what would happen after the happy chappy honeymoon? Would we then live

WSAD? (What Should Ariel Do?)

As a communication expert, we always need to be prepared for crisis communication or disaster management. If a company suffered a bad publication, or when bad things happened, like with BP’s oil spill or Toyota’s cars, the communication people need to work very hard to communicate the right message (while some other people work on to make things right) and to win the public favour again. In theory, companies need to be prepared for crisis way in advance; however not many companies did that. I believe, Ariel had also never thought that such drama would happen, but yeah, here it is, and he has to face it! So, here is my humble opinion regarding what he needs to do to clear the air: Scenario 1: Launch a single/album Celebrities, especially musicians, usually would create a drama or scandal to increase their popularity in order to promote the next movie, single, or album that would be launched. What Ariel could do is to write a song (or an album) as soon as possible and launch it! And thee
