I know some people who are considered successful in their career. People who are good at playing their cards in finding opportunities to succeed and be famous. People are very egocentric and self-centered. Always working hard to achieve something and is always looking ways to promote themselves, anywhere and anytime. Sometimes promote excessively their work. Although all these achievements are not ‘great’, but they know how to update and sell their achievements.
Unfair as it may seem. However, this is reality of life. If you know the trick, play your cards right! However, history has proven that people who opportunistic will not be remembered and will be quickly forgotten by society, because they do not provide benefits to the community.
Buku ini dihadiahkan kepada saya oleh Prof. Raldi Antono Koestoer, profesor di jurusan Teknik Mesin, Universitas Indonesia, ketika beliau berkunjung ke Universiti Teknologi Malaysia pada 21 April 2010. Beliau mengatakan bahwa beliau ingin “meracuni” saya dengan virus “Technopreneur”.
“Sejuta kawan kurang, satu lawan jangan” merupakan salah satu kunci dari keberhasilan Dr. Arifin Panigoro yang mendapatkan Doktor Honaris Causa dari Institut Teknologi Bandung pada bulan Januari 2010. Prinsip yang menurut saya bukan saja diperlukan pada dunia bisnis, tetapi juga pada dunia sehari-hari. “Janganlah sekali-kali menyakitkan hati orang lain”, mungkin adalah prinsip yang boleh dipegang dalam pertemanan. Apa salahnya menahan diri untuk tidak menyampaikan sesuatu yang nantinya akan menyakitkan hati orang lain.
Ternyata prinsip berbisnis itu adalah cultural matters, seperti yang disampaikan oleh Jacob Oetama dalam kata pengantar buku Dr. Arifin Panigoro. Budaya, tata nilai, sikap, kerja keras, penghargaan, hemat dan jujur adalah beberapa pokok-pokok yang digunakan dalam keberhasilan.
Saya jarang sekali melihat orang yang “sukses” dalam arti kata sebenarnya, yaitu sukses dalam pandangan “moral”. Banyak di antara yang dianggap sukses, namun jarang yang sukses dalam mencapai integritas “moral” yang baik. Banyak orang-orang yang masih bermental “menerabas”, yaitu mental ingin mencapai sesuatu dengan mengabaikan nilai-nilai “moral”.
That’s life, are the words that came out from our mouth when we are facing with the problem. Depending on how we deal with the problem, we can assume that the problem of life is actually a ‘game of life’. The game of life can be considered seriously or just as a game. So, the key is, if we see everything is a heavy burden, it would be difficult to handle. But if you look at them as a light burden, then, they become easy to handle – like the above funny cartoon which I found in the internet.
Yesterday, I’ve taken around by Dr. Handojo Djati Utomo, a lecturer at Singapore Polytechnic (SP), to look around the campus of SP, the oldest polytechnic in Singapore. He explained the involvement of SP in supporting Singapore to became a developed country. The above photos described the vision of SP: “A leading institution that prepares our students to be work ready, life ready and world ready“. In my opinion, this is a good example of the vision of an institution of higher education. A vision that is grounded to earth.
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with making whatever vision. But, by creating a grandiose vision – sometimes makes people feel ‘embarrassed’ to read it.
