Spirit of "Sumpah Pemuda 1928"

On October 1928, the Indonesian youth were gathered and declared the willpower as a part of Indonesian citizens. On that moment, Indonesian youth declared: had a one motherland, Indonesia motherland; had a one nation, Indonesian nation; and had a one language, Indonesian language. The formulation of this statement then was well known as Sumpah Pemuda, which became the symbol in struggling for Indonesian independence.

                It was 83 years since the declaration of Sumpah Pemuda and it was 66 years since the independence of Indonesian nation. But, the spirit of Sumpah Pemuda that has been becoming a spirit to struggle for Indonesian independence slowly is losing its power in effort to defending Indonesia. The new form of colonization is happening in Indonesia right now. Corruptions, injustice, foreign domination in Indonesian economic and politic have created many problems such as poverty, unemployment, stupidity, social conflict, disintegration issues, and social apathy. This situations describe that the independence of Indonesia just the apparent independence where most of Indonesian people difficulty to reach the access to the source of prosperity.

                The Indonesian youth pessimist and be pragmatic to the nation development because of various problems in Indonesia. Most of the Indonesian youth focused on their private interest to reach their own pleasure and succeed. There are just a little bit of the youth that give their attention to the nation development with doing various efforts to develop and defend the nation independence. Now, there is no more the spirit of the youth when overthrew the new order dictator regime. The crisis is happening in this nation, and the spirits of the youth are needed to save the Indonesia nation.

                Hopefully, the spirit of Sumpah Pemuda 1928 always becomes the guidance for the Indonesian youth in defending the Indonesian Independence. The Indonesian youth have to be realize from their dream soon and start to criticize the situation in Indonesia. The optimism and togetherness of the youth are needed so that the battle against various problems in Indonesia could be succeed, especially in the battle against the corrupt regime. I believe, with the spirit of Sumpah Pemuda 1928, the Indonesian youth could save Indonesia.

Ministry Reshuffle

Indonesian President’s, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, had just made his political slap with changed some ministers from his governmental range. For the President, this political action perceived to be done because the situation showed that some ministers had a dissatisfactory performance in the ministry range named Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu Jilid II. In the last few days, mass media (prints and electronics) always come out some news about ministry reshuffle.

Ministry reshuffle had some responds from the citizens; there are pro and contra to this decision. The contra statements mostly come up from political party coalition, which their ministers had been removed from the governmental range and automatically, will decrease their quota in the government. Then the President hostage in the interest game of attraction between the political parties.

This is an ironically situation. The ministry reshuffle aimed to increase the performance of the ministers to serve the citizens (not the political parties). The situation that happened right now indicates that political parties’ manner absolutely not to serve the citizens’ interest. The political parties just concerned to their own interest. Then the citizens just boil down as their political “vehicle” to get up to their interests, which is political power.

Now, emerge the big questions: what is the intention of the ministry reshuffle, for the citizens’ welfare or the political parties’ welfare? The political parties chase to undertake political lobby with an aim to reassure their interest. Besides that, Indonesian citizens just pessimistically stare to this transformation, the transformation which aims just to entertain the citizens.

Langkah Pertama

selalu ada langkah pertama yang harus diambil


Untuk memulai suatu hal, mengambil dan mengejar kesempatan merupakan hal yang harus ditempuh. kita tidak bisa hanya duduk terdiam, dan menunggu kesempatan itu datang dan menyapa kita. mengejar dan meraih kesempatan merupakan hal yang indah dan penuh seni, di mana kita dipacu untuk aktif, terutama dalam menghadapi berbagai tantangan yang ada.


Menjalani segala sesuatu dengan penuh kebebasan (dan pertimbangan tentunya) akan menuntun kita untuk 
bergerak dalam ruang-ruang kreatifitas untuk mempertahankan dan membangun apa yang telah kita raih.
Langkah pertama mungkin tidak selalu sesuai dengan apa yang kita impikan atau bayangkan. Namun, di sini yang dibutuhkan kemampuan adaptasi diri (dan kemauan belajar tentunya) untuk dapat menyesuaikan langkah kita dengan jalan yang ditempuh.


Orang bilang "where there is a will, there is a way". Jadi, jangan pernah takut. Keberanian, kedisiplinan, dan ketekunan akan menjadi bekal utama sepanjang kita menapaki setiap langkah hidup kita untuk meraih sukses.
Semangat!!
