Mahasiswa Anti-Beasiswa

Mahasiswa Anti-Beasiswa

Mental masyarakat terpelajar di Indonesia harus segera berubah kuadran. Dari kuadran beasiswa menuju kuadran anti-beasiswa.

Gatal rasanya tangan ini ingin mengajak para anda wahai calon mahasiswa, baik yang sedang berumur muda maupun tua. Mental anda kuliah dengan mencari beasiswa dan mencari apa-apa yang serba gratis haruslah diubah. Mulailah sejak saat ini, agar mental itu tidak tertular ke generasi anda selanjutnya

Mengapa ?, karena kondisi saat ini dimana kebanyakan dari pemuda-pemudi yang ingin kuliah diluar negeri justru hanya ingin gratisan saja (bisa itu beasiswa, biaya kantor, dsb.) Tanpa pernah terpikir bagaimana memberikan sekolah gratis bagi masyarakat Indonesia yang belum pernah mengenyam bangku sekolah. Tanpa terpikir menggunakan uang sendiri untuk kuliah didalam negeri atapun luar negeri. Hilangkan lah keluhan-keluhan mu mengenai kapasitas kampus di Indonesia, hentikan keluhan mengenai pemerintahan… stop itu lalu hargai setiap jerih payah dosen-dosen berbudi yang ingin memberikan ilmunya untuk indonesia. Saya pun tahu prosesnya pasti sulit mendapatkan beasiswa di luar negeri tersebut, mulai dari proses TOEFL, IELTS hingga GMAT. Tapi bukan berarti setelah anda berhasil mendapat kuliah diluar negeri lalu anda bisa membangga-banggakan status anda, hingga lupa diri. Kecuali anda membiayai kuliah anda sendiri diluar negeri, wajar toh bisa sombong. Namun sebaliknya, kalau kuliah anda dibiayai orang lain atau institusi, apa yang mau anda sombongkan?

Kebanyakan para mahasiswa ini mungkin tertular kebiasaan mereka sejak kecil. Apa-apa serba ingin gratis. Makanan hingga buku kalau perlu di gratiskan.

“Hallo anda yang masih dalam keadaan sehat wal’afiat”. Pernahkah terbayang membayar sendiri biaya kuliah anda?, Pernahkah anda bekerja habis-habisan siang dan malam (tentunya pekerjaan yang halal) untuk membiayai kuliah anda?. Berilah kesempatan beasiswa itu untuk orang-orang yang benar-benar tidak mampu, baik secara fisik maupun finansial

Gerakan tangan di atas dan perasaaan malu apabila posisi tangan dibawah (meminta-minta) itulah yang dibutuhkan dinegeri ini. Saya tahu anda tidak ingin membebankan orang tua, saya tahu anda memang menginginkan terbebas dari biaya pendidikan, tapi saya ingin bertanya. Apakah kondisi anda sehat?, sudahkah anda bekerja keras untuk mempunyai penghasilan sendiri?. Jika anda memang bermental gratisan, tolong jangan ajak generasi selanjutnya berbuat yang serupa. Ajaklah generasi dibawah anda untuk berusaha keras mendapatkan rejeki, lalu menggunakannya untuk membiayai kuliah sendiri.

Day 30 : Make every second count

Day 30: “If you only have 9 days to live, what will you do each day? Write it”

Today is my last day. I will make every second count

I will pray for 24 hours, keep my eyes awake, and before I die I want to say kalimat syahadat

Thanks for #G30HM to remembering me that someday I will die. I’m gratitude is not happen today, I still have so many sin, and I need to do a lot of good things to pay back all my mistake. Maassalam.. :)

Day 29: Write a Will

Day 29: “If you only have 9 days to live, what will you do each day? Write it”

2 days left, I will “write a will”

Simple things to do before you vanish from the world but you often forget is “write a will”. You will never know when you will die, so I’m encouraging you to do it as soon as possible.

If I only have 2 days to live, for today I will write down my will. Probably I will get a lawyer or government administration to make my will letter registered under the law and regulation in my country. These words below probably will be one of the sentence

“Dear mom and dad, I only have 2 days to live now, I wish I could live longer to take care both of you.

~...I have some money in the bank. I will give it all to you by the time my life will be end. Use it to take care of yourselves, paid the maid, paid for healthy food and for sure, use it for your own happiness :).. ~”.

Note: A will is the best thing one must do before death strikes

Day 28: “Gift” to family

Day 28: “If you only have 9 days to live, what will you do each day? Write it”

3 days to live, “Gift” to my family

I just received my salary yesterday. It’s feels great after you working so hard in one month and then your company pay you back in certain amount of money.

When you live alone and all you want is make yourself happy, your entire mind and feeling was stuck only for yourself, you’re too easy to get emotional, bored, and angry and always hoping the entire world will help you. Monthly salary for this lonely person will affect them only at first week of every month, because they will use it for themselves only.

But, if you live for you and your family, believe me, you will be focus with what you do for living and how you manage your life. You have the basic “why” needs that burnt your mind and body to achieve fundamental meaning and happiness in life.

Even though my parents can generate their own cash flow, it doesn’t mean I can lose my responsibility as their son. I’ve been in the position where I just take my monthly salary for granted. I only used for myself and share low percentage to my family.

You know what I feel? Happy is a matter of days only, I spend most of my money for “fun” stuff. I still remember the laugh and smile for a moment and realize that I spend my money without meaning. I know I could do better than that, but I just keep the same life style for another year.

Then, next time, I tried to do different things. I keep low percentage of my salary for myself, and use high percentage of it to my family. First, I gave my monthly salary to my mom. At first she said “what for?”, because is not her birthday, and there is no event at that time. Then I just say, “is a gift for you, mom”. I didn’t say anything about what is the purpose, all I did just give it to my mom as a gift. Then I also start to give it to my father, sister, brother and grandmother. Do you want to know what I feel next?, happy is not for a moment anymore this time, it is everlastingJ. I will always remember the looks of how my mother smile, I still remember the cheer of happiness in my sister face when I gave her first bank account, and expression of my father face, when I gave him money, and he just confuse with the purpose. Since that I realize happiness is meaningful if I involve family in the same part of happiness.

This last month salary I dedicated to my beloved sister who will be in college soon. Enjoy, hoho…

Day 27 : High intensity interval training

Day 27: “If you only have 9 days to live, what will you do each day? Write it”

4 days to live, high intensity interval training

HIIT stand for High Intensity Interval Training. It’s a fitness training program; you can do HIIT for running, swimming, jumping or even for your daily activity. How you will do it? You just need to set work and rest in interval-of-time-combination during your exercise.

Now my weight is 78 kg, the highest record of my life, hohoho. I don’t know how much percentage of my body fat. But for sure I’m living in unhealthy condition. Since I’m working in here, my life was turn into some kind of coach potatoes; watch TV, sit and typing in front of laptop for couple of hours without any willingness to move my body.

Inspire by #G30HM challenge, I just wonder what if my life is really short. I still have dreams, resolution and all of those stuffs that I didn’t achieve this 2011. So, I’m start to think about it again and I found my dream of getting-my-body-on-shape-again still in my waiting list to-be-done.

I will be doing a HIIT exercise in the next 4 days to live, and with the target of minimum 4 week continuity, especially for cardio exercise. Here is my HIIT training

Day 26 : Work on time

Day 26: “If you only have 9 days to live, what will you do? Write it”

Work on time

Wuhuu..., it’s 5 days to live now. Since the first day of 4th week challenge, I get used to with "wake up early", make me possible to go to the office early. My working time start at 8:00 a.m., but I’m already in the office since 07:30 a.m. I don’t want to be on timer person, I could do better than that. I will go further; I want to be remembered as a extraordinary punctual personJ. Even though I’m 30 minutes earlier, it’s a sign that I will give all my time to the company that I work for now.

It sound idealistic about “working for company”, but you only have 5 days to live now, right? *i hope is not real, because i also want to live longer:)* . You can just leave your office without notice, but me?, I will say “big no way”.

Ok then, let’s pack our back, and start to work, hohoo…

Day 25 : wake up early every day

Day 25: “If you only have 9 days to live, what will you do each day? Write it”

Tick tock tick tock… 6 days to live now, I will wake up early every day

Seems simple, but it’s hard to do, especially if you sleep late before it. If I only have 9 days left, of course I want to taste every bite of my life. One of the sweet stuff was wake up early in the morning. I want to enjoy the smell of morning fresh air, black grayed cloud visual of the sky, combine with the cold temperature outside.

My alarm clock wasn’t active lately. I have natural clock inside my body; tell me when I should wake up. 5 o’clock is the latest time of my eyes to be open, and then I will start searching for the light to be turn on.

In the last of 3 days, I’ve been trying to this stuff, adding all good lists to do within these 9 days. Since 3 days ago I also add new habit everyday which is workout at the gym at night. My entire body utilized to the max; my mind was full of action plan.

Let see what next tomorrow, cihuyy…

Day 24 : Eat fruit every day

Day 24: “if you only have 9 days to live, what will you do each day? Write it”

Now getting down in 7 days to live only, what I will do? I will eat fruit every day, hoho..

Of course workout in gym is not enough to keep my body fit. I need healthy food also. It will be fruit, yup, a lot of fruit. Biar kaya tarzan kali ye makan buah tiap hari, hohoho.

Jika kita keseringan makan daging dan ayam beserta kulitnya yang berlemak, itu dapat diimbangi dengan makan buah tiap hari loh. It will be like your counter balance. Tentunya makan buah beneran ya, bukan buah-buahan alias buah plastik, wkwkwkw.

I will eat minimum 1 type of fruits every day within last week challenge of #G30HM. I already start this habit since two days ago. I bought banana, apple and combination of fruits. Taste of sour and sweet make my tongue dancing. It feels very good once you digest it to your stomach.

Keep yourself healthy, start with eating fruit every day, cihuyyy..

Day 23 : keep my body healthy

Day 24:”If you only have 9 days to live, what will u do each day? Write it”

Ups, my day decreasing by 1, now only 8 days to live

What will I do? : For sure, I will keep my body healthy

I will go to the gym every day. That’s the things that I did since yesterday. Minimum I have to go the gym 1 time. I will spend 30-60 minutes. I will do scheduled workout. I will lift up those barbells, gallon of water *ups, ketahuan tukang angkut-angkut galon aqua yah?, hihihi

This “9 days to live” challenge very good to keep me focus on important stuff for myself, even though is not the real things, but I admit I start to getting much more fun with it.

Wish me luck with my healthy 9 days in fitness center, cihuy….
