The Wempy Dyocta Koto Award

Beberapa minggu yang lalu, aku sempat menuliskan tentang Mr Wempy Dyocta Koto dan bagaimana aku salut dengan usaha dan bisnis beliau.

Puji Tuhan pada 11 Juli kemarin, berkesempatan untuk bertemu beliau secara personal melalui acara Buka Puasa Bersana setelah aku memenangkan salah satu kuis dari beliau. Dan... itu adalah pengalaman yang sangat sarat ilmu.

Sebelumnya, aku sempat maju mundur untuk ikut #WempydyoctakotoAward karena pertimbangan para krucils yang mana butuh arrangement khusus jika semua proses mentoring diakukan offline di jakarta. Namun, setelah mendapat konfirmasi dari beliau tentang pelaksanaan mentoring yang fleksibel, aku jadi bersemangat dan yakin untuk ikut (Semoga bisa menang, Amien). Berikut adalah beberapa alasan dan harapanku setelah mengikuti award ini.

WHY DO I WANT TO JOIN THIS AWARD SELECTION?
1. Because #wempydyoctakotoaward  is not just one closed ending event but an open process mentor-ship, I believe it will caused life changing experience, people who win it will have opportunity to grow through out the process.

2. I am an engineering background who become a teacherpreneur (teacher and also entrepreneur) right now. From education background business is not my major, therefore I want to learn more from many successful business people to scale up my business, and #wempydyoctakotoaward is giving me a good channel to meet with more than 12 extraordinary and successful people on their field.

3. For me, treasure in life are family and friends while the priceless asset (in business) is networking. And #wempydyoctakotoaward is a great event to build up and open new networking. It is not only to scale-up networking with the mentors (those who become my role model and my idol and seems untouchable from my point of view right now :) and also those successful people that became the creator behind many worldwide successful event). This event also open a new networking possibility with the other winners, which can lead to a new collaboration partnership.

WHAT IS MY GOAL WITH THIS AWARD SELECTION?
1. Learn from the mentors to make my personal business become worldwide business. My first business is www.phitagoras.co.id www.phitagoras.com, Praise God, it can be a blessing for our employees but the man behind the success is actually my partner. While for my personal business www.ladonaku.com and www.arilexshop.com are still struggling for success. My biggest goal from #WempyDyoctaKotoAward is making Arilex and Ladona a successful worldwide business in order to give better life for my employees.

2. Become the tunnel of blessing, the tunnel of knowledge to others. I build Teenpreneur Club in my school, where students can learn to establish their first business, a place where they can make mistakes and also successes. Hopefully with the guidance of all mentor in #WempyDyoctaKotaAward I can assist my students better and also continuing to spread out the knowledge and the blessing that I receive from the mentors. My personal goal, Teenpreneur Club is not specific for one school only but it can be a movement in my city (Surabaya) by 2016.

3. Making collaboration with other winners and also mentors.

WHAT CAN I GIVE IN THROUGH THIS AWARD SELECTION?
1. I commit to give my best, emptying my cup, fulfilling my spirit to learn, and improving myself so the mentor-ship will not useless.

2. I commit (with the guidance of other mentors) to assist 1 youth to become a successful entrepreneur per year. I have a plan to assist 1 youth/year (because Indonesia's future are in the hands of the young generations) and then this person will have the obligation to help and assist another person to establish their business. And then this other person will have the obligation to do the same to others and so on. Hopefully through this simple action can start a movement of better Indonesia.

I know probably hundreds, or million application applied, hopefully I can win it :)
Please support me in prayers guys :D Thank you.

Proud as Indonesian

Beberapa hari yang lalu mendengarkan founder GOOD NEWS FROM INDONESIA di radio..

Tanpa sadar menitikkan air mata..terharu... dikala orang lain dengan gampang menyebut negeri ini Negara Rusak, Negara Koruptor,dll...

Ternyata masih ada generasi bangsa yang peduli untuk melihat kebesaran2 dari Indonesia...

Aku tipe yang paling benci ama orang yang cuman bisa ngroweng..ngedumel dan menyalahkan semua orang karena "kegelapan" yang ada TAPIII... Ga pernah sekalipun berpikir untuk menyalakan senter kek atau lilin kek utk menerangi kegelapan itu..

Cuman bisa ngritik tanpa solusi...
Cuman bisa ngedumel..no matter in worst or good condition, selalu aja ada yang salah..
Cuman ngajak "diskusi" yg benernya cuman ajang debat tanpa ujung..tanpa ada tindakan riil untuk mengatasi masalah yang diperdebatkan..
Such a waste of time..

Lets always try to see the bright side on everything (hahaha..jd ingat Mr Isaac :p) then our life will be easier (hopefully) smile emotikon

2 POINT OF VIEW

There are always 2 side in everything...

Berbulan bulan yang lalu, lihat foto ini di salah satu wall, yang akhirnya kami "berteman" di dunia maya. Dari status2 beliau memperkaya sudut pandangku terhadap banyak hal. Beliau adalah orang yang terbuka dengan diskusi dan memiliki toleransi yang tinggi grin emotikon

Postingan beliau saat itu untuk membuka mata bahwa Kaligrafi bukan hanya milik saudara saudara muslim. Bahasa Arab tidak berarti pasti Islam dan juga sebaliknya Islam tidak berarti harus seperti Arab. Yang kata beliau kalau mau diluaskan lagi.... Yahudi tidak berarti pasti Zionist.. Dunia barat pun tidak berarti Kristen.
(Yang kalo saya simpulkan jadi...stop generalisasikan sesuatu). Ajakan untuk open minded smile emotikon For me, I completely agree with it.

Lalu hari ini, baca di salah satu wall yang lain...
Foto yang sama captionnya berlawanan 180 derajat. Caption yang akhirnya terkesan merasa paling benar dan paling berhak atas suatu budaya, dan menyiratkan prasangka dan paranoid yang berlebihan terhadap yang lain.

Moral of the day....
Segala sesuatu pasti ada paling tidak 2 sudut pandang...
No matter how good we are... there's always Haters and Lovers..

Dari satu hal yang sama, bisa jadi 2 pemikiran yang sangat berbeda.. smile emotikon

Just live our life fully and faithfully... haters and lovers will always be there whether we like it or not wink emotikon
