Total Motivation - Part 1

I just want to adapt from a book I bought last Ramadhan 1430 H. The title of the book is ‘Total Motivation’ written by Satria Hadi Lubis.
In this book we learn about how to motivate ourselves, because it is easy to get a motivation from our friend or a motivator, and it is also easy to give a motivation to somebody else.
When we get a motivation to burn our spirit, we feel that our spirit getting raised. But it would get down easily when there are external influences involved. It is as an impact that can occur if we cannot create total motivation in ourselves.
I remembered Mr. Arief Isnaini, SH, SE, MM, a motivator gave examples from a candy and a hundred thousands rupiahs – money. He asked if audiences want the candy when it dropped on a ground. The audiences answered that they did not want the candy. But when it was asked whether they wanted the money although it has dropped and stepped, and they answered they wanted it.
It means the money value does not change about although getting bad treatment as dropped and stepped. So we must be able to be 100% of our spirit whatever there is storm hit us.
We need to create our total motivation in ourselves. The motivation theories have been said as a science in 1950’s. There are 2 motivation theories, they are: content theory and process theory.
1. Content Theory

d. Mc. Clelland Theory
e. Hygiene-Motivation Theory
2. Process Theory
It consists of 4 theories. They are:

Rachel Corrie, An American Activist Who Died Run Over by A Bulldozer in Gaza

I ever went to a book shop, Kharisma in Panbil Mall, Batam. My eyes were directed on a book with a tittle: Let Me Stand Alone written by Rachel Corrie. In the book it mentioned that the writer was died because she was run over by a bulldozer operated by Israeli in Gaza on Sunday, March 16th, 2003. I was curious and wanted to know about who she is.
So i browsed in internet to find out who she is and what she had done then the bulldozer run over her alive.
Her name is Rachel Aliene Corrie. She was born on April 10th, 1979 and raised in Olympia, Washington, US. She was an activist of ISM (International Solidarity Movement).
According to her parents, she had gone to Gaza, Palestine on January 22nd, 2003. After getting a training, she entered Gaza Strip on January 27th, 2003 with her friend, Willian Hewitt (also from Olympia).
She became a human shield and tried to stop a bulldozer from the demolition of a palestinian home. She sat in front of the bulldozer, but it didn't stop even drove over her twice.
The world remember her as a brave American girl who became a martyr for justice. She ever said when she was 10 years old,"We have got to understand that they have our dreams, and we have theirs. We have got to understand that they are us. We are them."
She realized what she wanted, and believed what she did without any fear.
In this life we believe that we're exist for a reason. We have a purpose and we have a dream. The question is: do we have a courage to bring it into reality?

TV

When i was a kid, i often watched many famous people on TV. Then i imagined that someday i would become one of them. I thought that being a famous, we'd get what we want, people would be impressed about what we have done and we'd be loved because we have a lot of fans.
It's a good thing that we can be shown on TV and millions people watching us. Whatever we have done, like killing, torturing, stealing, robbing, rape and another criminals. The important thing is showing on TV, right?
TV is a phenomenon and become one of main needs. We can get any informations on TV. I always get newest musics update from TV, my mom likes to watch soap opera, my brother and my sistter like to watch movies on TV and my dad likes to watch news. TV become a lifestyle in 3 decades.
Besides entertainment and information, TV has a function as education. The kids learn everything from TV. Just imagine, the small box called TV can form a behaviour of our kids. Because watching is easier to absorb to learn than listening. So the parents should take a part to guide the kids to watch TV. So when the kids grows up, they can filter the programs on TV by themselves.

Cooperative Development in Batam

We are facing bad economy situation in present condition. As we know that mostly people in Batam work in industrial as employee. The high cost of life in Batam make people do a thrift for their income to survive in Batam. There are many activities done by employees to increase the welfare, even demonstrations to demand the increase of minimum wages in the same level with proper life needs.
While employees also start to develop cooperative (economic enterprise) to support to increase the welfare from non-wages side.
Cooperative is a legal organization formed by many people with same purpose, to improve member’s prosperity. So the cooperative works as economy, social and educational organization. Cooperative is registered in Cooperative Department in Government.
There are many cooperatives formed by employees in many companies or government installations as primer cooperative. Some cooperatives join to form secondary cooperative for business expanding of each primer cooperative.
Unfortunately the knowledge about cooperative is not known well by some management from some companies. That’s the reason sometimes employee’s cooperative get difficulty to expand the business, even in company area.
There is an example of an employee’s cooperative which has grown so fast. It is KSM (Koperasi Sejahtera Mandiri), a cooperative formed by employees of Panasonic Companies Group in Batam. The main businesses of KSM are catering, minimarket, bakery shop and loan-saving for members with turnover Rp. 3 billions per month. The KSM had ever got an appreciation from President of Indonesia, Mr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as one of national cooperatives with good performance on year 2007. Batam also should be proud of the achievement of KSM.

Masjid Raya Batam

Batam has the biggest masjid, it called Masjid Raya Batam. Because it's big, the masjid is also to become Islamic center. The activities related with Islam are done in the masjid.
We can find library where we can find many Islamic books here. If we want to register Halal certificate, there is also the MUI office which serve on it. Usually the restaurant, catering or home industry of food register Halal certificate here.
Mini market is also available to fulfill the requirements of muslims when they visit Masjid Raya. They sell snacks, soft drinks and medicines. There also sell the needs as kopyah or songkok (muslim's hat), mukena (woman's cloth for shalat or praying), sajadah (prayer rug), jilbab and koko cloth (male muslim's cloth).
The activities related with Islam is also executed in Masjid Raya such as Al-Qur'an reading course, course to make a harmony's family in Islam corridor (sakinah family course) and so on. The building of Masjid Raya Batam has taken billion rupiahs to be fame masjid in Batam. It become the icon of Batam to show that muslims in Batam are loyal to be religious.

Kek Pisang Villa Batam

Last 3 years ago my friend, Denni Delyandri resigned from a company where we worked together. He tried to be a business man because he did not like to be a person who just received the instruction from another person. He had a dream to be a person who has own business.
First business he made an event organizer. He organized many events like seminars of entrepreneur. Usually he made cooperation with the organizations in companies or installations like government to make events.
At the same time he and his wife also started to make home industry to sell banana cake. He introduced their product with brand Villa, as the name of house complex where they lived.
More they focused in their home industry, more the business grew. The business become one of icon for guests or tourists to get a gift brought back from the trip in Batam.
They have motto: "Batam ya kek pisang Villa."
It means when people remember Batam, kek pisang (banana cake) Villa will be in their mind.
Well, kek pisang Villa also support Visit Batam 2010.

Batam and My Friends

When my friend, Anwar Annas ended his contract from a company where he worked, we hanged out together my friends because he wanted to see Barelang Bridges for last. He worried he would not see Barelang Bridges again when he stayed in Java. So we went to Barelang Bridges. The famous bridge is 1st Bridge (jembatan satu) because it’s the biggest from the others.
Barelang bridges connect small islands with Batam island.It made villages in small islands not isolated, slowly the islands build the civilization.
On Saturday, Sunday or off days many people come to 1st Bridge to spend the time with friends or family for refreshing their minds. The bridge is beautiful when sunrise and sunset times. So for sure in the morning and afternoon it would be crowded here.
Bridge 1 become the icon of Batam, you can see the bridge picture in Batam logo. It is because the design of Batam is unique.
The main incomes of people who lives across the bridges are from farming and fishing. We can see fruits gardens such as mangoes, dragon fruit and so on.
We also went to Melur Beach. Playing around the beach and eating dragon fruit with Anwar Annas and my friends will always be my unforgettable experience.
Melur Beach is a beach from one of outer islands near Batam Island. We must pass thru 5 bridges to reach the beach. We can swim and fish here. With white sands spread beauty, it becomes a nice place to spend time with family and frinds.
Dragon fruit is one of mainstay commodity of Batam. Fruit with rich of vitamin C is a famous fruit which is exported to neighbor countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia, and so on. Many people likes dragon fruit from Batam because of good quality. So after going to Melur Beach, we spend our time by eating dragon fruit. We enjoyed it on 5th Bridge.
Now Warsono and Anwar Annas, my friends who spent time together on that day has decided to leave Batam, but the moments will never be forgotten, although we live far apart.

Batam in Juan Carlos Perspective

Batam Island is one of islands in archipelago of Indonesia. This small island is near Singapore, and it takes more than an hour to go Singapore from Batam Island by ferry boat. The geographic of Batam makes it having more benefits because it’s passed by trade route.
Batam is also known as industrial city. There are many local, national and international industries developed in Batam Island. The industrial activity make many investors from other countries put the investments in Batam, and make Batam Island grows as one of big city in Indonesia.
Beside that, Batam also has potential to interest in tourism. There are many places in Batam can be tour objects, such as: Barelang Bridge, Ex Vietnam Camp, beautiful beaches and historical places.
We can also get culinary tour in Batam, because there are many restaurants which serve sea food, as one of most favorite food in Batam.
My friend, Juan Carlos Leiva Amoros, from Peru has ever visited Batam 2 years ago. I took him to Nongsa Beach and Bridge Barelang, the bridge connecting small islands with Batam Island. He is a professional photographer and has ever made an international photography exhibition in Lima, Peru.
In his hand we can figure out the exotic sides of Batam. Nongsa Beach is one of some chooses for people who live in Batam for refreshing the mind from daily activities. Juan can show to us the other side of Nongsa Beach. We use small boat which is called pompong boat by people here to smaller island, Putri Island.
When Juan Carlos got a call from his friend by cellular phone, he said:”My friend took me in a middle of nowhere. I mean it’s beautiful beach I never seen before.”
He believes Batam can be potential charm for tourism. He’s in a middle of nowhere means he is in a place where many people have not known it yet.
It needs promotion to let everybody know. And it needs more attention from government, so let us support government to reach the goal, Batam Visit 2010.

Father

Father is a leader in our house. We cannot do anything without his permission. He's like our mother, has contribution to educate us. I remember the first time i learned to ride motorcycle. He taught me very well and instructed me for not riding motorcycle over 60 km/hours. We rode our old motorcycle to a village, because there were not many vehicles passed through the road. I also still could smell pure air without pollutions contaminated.
I was happy. I will not forget the moments. The feeling seems like we played together around fallen flowers. I remember Mia Michaels made the choreographic about a father and his child played together. This dance was performed by Neil and Lacey in American reality show, So You Think You Can Dance?
Father is like a moon in the night that shines on earth. He's a friend whenever i need an advice. He's a help whenever i need it. To say thanks to our father for what he has done to us make us ready to become a father. What he has done become our example to educate and treat our children. He's a mirror of us as a parent of our children. So don't make him disappointed. He has given us a way until we are a father.
I love my father, but i never told him even once. I don't know why it's hard to say it. But i ever heard Kenny Rogers Song, Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?
I describe it as a conversation between a child to his/her father.
One day i tried to call him. And i said that i loved him and i will always love him. I said that i feel sorry for long time never telling him that i loved him. He said that without saying this, he knew it. He said that doing something making him proud is enough for him.

Father, you know how much i love you.

Friend

Do you have friends? We don't realize that our friends have contribution to form our personality. We can share information with our friends, laugh together, tell story around us and even share what we are feeling. Sometimes you need your friend's shoulder to cry on when you get a sadness. Sometimes you scream loudly with your friend as the expression of happiness.
In Islam, there's a lesson about friendship. If the friendship is based on love of God (Allah), God will love them.
I heard Ernita, a friend of mine ever said that friendship never die. I think she's right, but if the friendship is based on love. Sometimes you will feel jealous to your friend for the success or happiness of your friend. It will make your friendship will be sunk faster than when the first time you make it. Keep your friendship, so it never end.
It's different if you don't have friend. There are many people around you, but you don't want to make friends with them. Sometimes you feel you can solve your problem by yourself. It seems like you don't need to have a friend. You're wrong. You forget that you ever feel alone sometimes. Who will help when you need it? Who will bring your body to graveyard when you're gone? You may not do it by yourself, right?
Well, start to say halo to your neighbour. Ask how your work partner is. Break your routine temporary and ask to your staff whether any problems or not. It will be good beginning to start the friendship.

Mother (Ibu)

There was a conversation between me and my mom since i was a kid.
"Mother, will i be in a hell later?" i asked. "No, my dear. You will be in heaven," she said gently.
This conversation will always be recorded in my memory and i never forget this, because i feel peaceful whenever i remember it.
We are always known better by our mother. She is always with us wherever we are. She represent God in this world.
Now we live far away from her. We sink in our activities. But a mother always wait for us at home patiently. She understand that we cannot go home to see her because of our activities. Every second she think about us, we think about our jobs, carriers, our family, our friends, our business relations etc. We forget how she treated us since we were a baby till we grew up. Actually she want to call us, but she's afraid she would bother to us while we are busy and never give her a call.
Look around us, there are many people as we are. Call our mom sometimes, my friend. Break our activity to say hello to our mom. She will be happy to hear our voice. Say that you love her so much. Say thanks to her that she had given us birth and treated us very well.
Whatever she did to us, she'll always be a mother, someone who give us life. Our ticket to enter heaven will be on our mother later.
Thanks, mom. I recognized love from you for the first time. You are the best thing in my life. Your love give me a better life and save me from a hellfire.

Dream of World Peace

Since i was a kid, i heard and watched on TV. There are many wars, disasters which caused death and people starved. And people just can watch and don't give a helping hands. Then i have a dream, i hope we can stand together, holding hands each other and making world peace.

I think i'm not alone. There are many people out there who has same imagination like mine. When the song belong to John Lenon played, i heard the lyric. It's same as my dream. So i believe i'm not alone.

Declan Galbraith with his song "Tell Me Why?" also represent what i think.

Someone must speak loudly. Someone must be able to convince the leaders in the world to make it. There are no more weapons, guns, missiles and mass killer machines. We need a wise guy who think first before doing an action, who convince the worlds based on evidences not based on slander, someone who think civilians side when he want to find who he hunt and someone who has love in his/her heart.

Well, i believe i'm not the only one who has this dream. You has it too.
