''Galau Jurusan??''

hai hai hai....

kamu kamu yang pada galau jurusan, terutama yang masih ragu sama institut pertanian. Aku hadir di postingan kali ini untuk cerita pengalaman dan uneg uneg aku sama kalian, semoga bisa membantu kalian yang galau jurusan dan mikir sempit pertanian ya...

Aku... Fathimah Sholihah , mahasiswa Agribisnis Institut Pertanian Bogor. Masuk ke kampus ini lewat jalur SNMPTN. Jalur yang penuh misteri dan penuh panjatan doa haha. Meski udah banyak pihak yang prediksi aku masuk kampus ini lewat jalur undangan bahkan ampe yakin banget aku bakal masuk karena mungkin nilai rapot, sertifikat dan kaka kelasku yang ada di IPB sangat mendukung untuk aku lolos. Bagi aku semua prediksi mereka adalah doa, bukan kepastian. Semuanya tetep maybe yes, maybe no. Nambah optimis sih iya, tapi aku selalu mikir kemunginan terburuk biar kalo seandainya jatoh ya gak kaget kaget amat. Aku tetep tuh yang namanya daftar SBMPTN , karena yaa kata kaka GO mah, SNMPTN itu prinsipnya daftar dan lupakan hehe. Jadi anggap aja ga pernah daftar.

Bersyukur banget dapet lewat jalur ini, jadi ga perlu ngedepin gerbang mautnya PTN yakniii soal SBMPTN . Dan... liat rival rival ku .... pertama rival kelas berat di kelas , Lulu Wilda Nurani masuk Kedokteran lewat SBM wuaww, ada lagi Syenne Extecsela beasiswa kuliah di Korea, ada lagi sahabat dekeeeettttt banget ama aku Madyanissa Yuniar Beasiswa kuliah di Jepang, beuh beuh beuh, Bukan cuma mereka , temen gila gilaan aku di kelas, temen yang suka ngajak ngakak bareng di kelas, temen yang kalo diluar kelas jaim banget tapi pas didalem kelas gila gtu, dia sekarnag udha bisa bawa pesawat alias PILOT ..... parah kan mereka semua. Mereka semua tuh yang sempet bikin aku minder banget banget deh, tapiiii mereka juga yang udah nampar aku buat GILA BELAJAR. Kalian ga tau kan gaya belajar aku sekarang??? beuh, jangan dibayangin deh pokoknya hahahaha. Thanks guys, buat tamparannya haha

Awalnya aku mikir , apa kau juga harus buktiin kalau aku bisa selevel sama mereka dengan cara ikut SBM 2015 dan pilih kedokteran di UI kalo perlu, atau aku mulai cari cari beasiswa ke luar negeri??? hmmm kalian pernah denger gini ga ''kalo kita sungguh sungguh, kita PASTI bisa dapetin apa yang kita mau'' dan aku yakin bisa dapet kedokteran atau beasiswa keluar kalau aku sungguh sungguh. Tapi emang meski gitu buat ngebuktiiin bisa selevel sama mereka?? ya gak mesti gitu juga atuh.... Aku udah disini, kampus yang ngajarin aku buanyak hal tentang kta sederhana, solidaritas dan mengerti lebih jauh tentang Islam. Kampus yang punya keunggulan luar biasa, kampus yang sangat berperan dalam pertanian di negara ini, dan kampus yang melahirkan tokoh tokoh berpengaruh di negara ini. Satu lagi, Kampus yang bikin sepasang orang tua tersenyum karena impian mereka agar ada anaknya yang masuk IPB tercapai. Apa aku masih harus keluar demi kata Pembuktian??? Bukan kata Pembuktiannya yang salah tapi caranya yang salah. Bukannya lebih baik aku tetep stay disini dan bikin mereka terkejut sama apa yang bisa aku lakuin disini, bikin mereka kaget sama keberhasilan aku dari kampus ini nanti??? 

Now... itu yang aku fokus lakuin, ....kalian yang udah bikin aku sesemangat ini... thanks banget banget ya... kalian sekarang seolah olah lari didepan aku bukan buat ninggalin aku yang masih disini, tapi buat aku kejar. Nantikan ya, sampai ketemu di reunian kita pas kita semua udah sukses ya.... aminnnn

nah, ini cerita aku. semoga terhibur, dan syukur syukur bisa jadi inspirasi buat kamu, ''jangan takut buat wujudkan apa yang kamu yakini, apalagi kalau kamu berada ditengah tengah orang sukses yang bisa selalu menginspirasi kamu''

Dear Allah

Dear Allah...
sungguh tidak ada satupun taqdir yang hadir tanpa alasan yang kuat. Aku percaya , adanya aku disini pun karna taqdirMu. Duhai Allah, sungguh ini beraaattt sekali. mandiri, sendiri, dan belajar untuk memahami dan mengerti setiap orang yang baru aku temui disini. menyesuaikan diri dengan mereka.
Allah... mungkin saat ini aku belum bisa memahami apa maksudMu atas semua taqdir ini. aku belum mengerti apa arti dibalik semua ini, tapi aku akan mencoba menajalaninya. bantu aku ya Robb, iringi aku.

aku yakin ya Robb, suatu hari nanti aku akan mengerti apa sebenarnya maksudmu dibalik semua ini. dibalik kuasaMu yang menaqdirkanku ada di tempat ini, dibalik taqdrimu yang membuatku ada di jurusan ini, disini...

berkali kali aku menghindari ini Ya Robb, berkali kali pula aku menyesali ini semua. ampuni aku Ya Robb, sunggu itu semua karna aku belum mengerti. Ya Allah, aku lelah untuk menghindar, aku lelah untuk menjauh dari taqdirmu. mulai saat ini aku akan mencoba tersenyum menjalani nya, sepahit dan sesedih apapun rasa yang sedang aku rasakan nanti.

belajar, belajar, belajar dan mengerti semua yang Engkau hadirkan untukku apapun rasanya. Duhai Allah, teruslah ada bersamaKu terutama disetiap sujudku . Aku mohon, karena tiada yang lebih indah dari itu. Hadirkanlah orang orang yang mampu memberiku semangat dalam kebaikan.

sunggu 1 tahun adalah waktu yang sangat lama bagi orang orang yang terus menghindar dari taqdirmu, tapi sungguh satu tahun adalah waktu yang begitu cepat, begitu indah bagi orang yang mensyukuri nikmatmu dan melihatnya dari sudut yang berbeda....

Someone and Inspiration

Hai kawan, kangen banget sama blog ini... haha . maklum, sibuk dengan ulangan dan tugas sekolah sampai gak sempet ngeblog beberapa hari kemarin. 

kali ini, aku mau cerita sama kalian dan mudah mudahan cerita ini bisa menginspirasi kalian ya kawan... 

kurang lebih selama 4 bulan kemarin, aku kena syndrom yang aneh banget. syndrom yang bikin siapapun yang kena, jadi bukan dirinya . mendadak lebih males dari biasanya. penyebabnya "gak banget", dan aku juga gak bisa bahas lebih lanjut apa penyebabnya.  pokoknya ngapain aja kerasa males banget deh. awalnya aku gak terlalu mentingin syndrom ini, tapi lama kelamaan parasit juga nih syndrom. berdoa sambil berusaha cari sesuatu yang bikin semangat lagi tapi blum ada yang tepat. sampai akhirnya...........

aku berpapasan dengan temen satu angkatan di sekolah, kita cuma saling kenal tapi gak deket. gak tau kenapa, malemnya aku tiba tiba pengen buka blog dia, dan ternyata.....

ini jawaban dari semuanya, ini obat yang aku cari selama 4 bulan. kalian tau apa?? blog dia isinya full tentang bisnis nya di dunia maya. "pengusaha muda" itu julukan buat dia dari beberapa orang yang komentar tentang dia dan blognya. berulang kali aku baca dan itu semua bikin aku mikir, dia aja yang umurnya sama kayak aku udah bisa sejauh itu. subhanallah, bertindak dan berjuang atas apa yang dia suka sampai sesukses itu. kebanyakan orang kalau ditanya mau jadi apa? pasti jawabannya gak jauh dari dokter, pilot, polisi atau sejenisnya. tapi dia tetep dengan apa yang dia suka , "bisnis".

kawan , apapun yang kalian suka dan kalian minati , lakuin lah selama itu positif. jangan peduliin kebanyakan orang kayak begini atau begitu, kalau kalian harus beda dari mereka yaaa..... why not kan??

Blog dan semua profil tentang nya yang aku tau sejauh ini bener bener menginspirasi. syndrom gak jelas itu mendadak hilang . Alhamdulillah , Allah kenalkan aku dengan orang yang bisa memotivasi bukan hanya sesaat tapi juga dalam jangka waktu yang lama (aminnn).

suatu saat nanti, aku mau berterima kasih sama dia buat profil inspratifnya.. hmm.. kalau boleh aku berandai andai, aku pengen banget dia baca postingan aku ini. mungkin gak ya??? tujuan dia liat pos ini biar dia tau kalau dirinya sangat menginspirasi dan dengan begitu semoga dia bisa meningkatkan kualitas dirinya nanti.. semoga aja ya, mimpi aku ini tercapai, meskipun entah kapan....

kawan, pengen banget aku kasih tau kalian siapa dia. orang yang bikin profinya begitu menginspirasi itu. tapii maaf ya, untuk saat ini aku belum bisa kasih tau siapa dia karena suatu hal. tapi suatu saat nanti pasti aku kasih tau, bahkan aku kasih tau blog nya deh hehehe

intinya, siapapun, bagaimana pun atau apapun yang bikin kalian semangat belajar, semua itu balik lagi ke diri kalian . seberapa jauh kalian berani ngendaliin diri kalian. inget ya kawan, jangan mau dikendaliin sama rasa males. sibukin diri kalian buat hal yang berguna. tinggalin yang gak prioritas. 

semoga bermanfaat ya sedikit kisah tentang aku ini,

"Untuknya, Penyemangat dalam Diam"

Siapa dia Allah....
dalam diamnya tersimpan kecerdasan
dalam senyumnya terdapat kerendahan hati
sederhana namun menawan
segala profil tentangnya yang aku tau..
semuanya sangat inspiratif
bak penyemangat, sosoknya ada disaat jenuh belajar melanda
merubah kejenuhan menjadi semangat  yang begitu membara
dan hari ini...
tak pernah diduga
kembali ia menunjukkan kerendahan hatinya
segala kata yang ia lantunkan
gerak tubuh yang ia tunjukkan
semuanya, dan segalanya.....
caranya bersujud dihadapanmu
terima kasih Allah
engkau hadirkan sosok penyemangat belajar sepertinya
meski tak begitu dekat
meski jarang sekali kami berkomunikasi
meski terkadang kesal melanda dengan sikapnya yang diam
ya Robb ku...
andai nanti aku bisa berkomunikasi lebih lama
aku ingin berterima kasih padanya
atas segala tentangnya yang menginspiratif
duhai kamu, si penyemangat belajar rahasia
"makasih ya, andai kita bisa berteman, mungkin aku akan memintamu menceritakan bagaimana kenikmatan belajar yang sesungguhnya..., dan aku akan memintamu menjadi penyemangat setiap waktu. sudikah kamu...???"

taukah ia, ya robb

rasanya ga bisa tapi harus bisa....

ga mau tapi harus mau....

kalaupun hari ini ga pernah ada

meski ga ada apapun di hari ini

meski ga keluar dari mulut

tapi doa untuknya akan tetep ada

bahkan selalu dan pasti..

taukah ia, ya robb....

doa seorang gadis yang merasakan hal aneh didalam hatinya.  

ia begitu takut untuk mengungkapkan, begitu ragu untuk bertindak, 

dan begitu malu pada robb nya.

Last Friday, a friend of mine asked me to accompany him to buy a new shirt at a department store. We left home at 03.00 p.m. by motorcycle. As soon as we arrived there, we went to the clothes section. I let him choose one. An hour later, I got bored watching him confused in choosing a shirt. So I left him and went to the cassette counter. Thirty minutes later, I went back to the clothes section but I couldn't find him there. My cell phone was broken so I couldn't call him. I went to the parking area. I saw his motorcycle was there but I couldn't find him. I waited for him for a few moments then finally I gave up and decided to go home.

When I arrived home, my mother told me that my friend called. She said that he was in the department store looking for me. My mother asked me to come back to the department store. Reluctantly, I walked to the department store and you know what? When I arrived there his motorcycle was not in the parking area. He just went home. I was very tired. There was no other choice, I had to walk home again. When I arrived home, I was so tired. I was very angry but when I saw my friend's broad smile greet me in front of the door, I just could not help laughing.

Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on February 12, 1809. He came from a wealthy family and never had to work. He studied medicine and theology. In 1831 he graduated from University of Cambridge with a degree of theology.

He began a career as a scientist quite by chance. On December 27,1831, 22 years old Charles Darwin joined the crew of the HMS Beagle as a naturalist.The five years expedition collected hydrographic, geologic, and meteorologic data from South America and many other regions around the world. Darwin's own observation on this voyage led to his theory of natural selection.

Darwin's theory holds that environmental effects lead to varying degrees of reproductive success in individuals and groups of organisms.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, and ornament manufacturer. He was the inventor of dynamite. He also owned Bofors, which he had redirected from its previous role as primarily an iron and steel producer to a major manufacturer of cannons and other ornaments. He held 355 different patents, dynamite being the most famous. In his last will, he used his enormous fortune to institute the Nobel Prizes. The synthetic element nobelium was named after him. He was the third son of Immanuel Nobel and Andriette Ahlsell Nobel. Born in Stckholm on 21 October 1833, he went with my family to Saint Petersburg in 1842, where his father invented modern plywood. He studied chemistry with Professor Nikolay Nickolaevich Zinin. When he was 18, he went to the United States to study chemistry for four years and worked for a short period under John Ericsson, who designed the American Civil War ironclad USS Monitor.

Returning to Sweden, with his father after bankruptcy of his family business, he then devoted himself to the study of explosives, and especially to the save manufacture and use of nitroglycerine (discovered in 1847 by Acanio Sobrero, one of his fellow students under Theophile-Jules Pelouze at the University of Turin). A big explosion occurred on 2 September 1864 at his factory in Heleneborg in Stockholm, killing five people. Among them was his younger brother, Emil.

The foundations of the Nobel Prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth for its establishment. Since 1901, the prize has honoured men and women for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and for work in peace.

My wonderful experience at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha

In December 2006, I went to Doha to participate in the 2006 Asian Games taking part in the Bach Volley Ball Championship. We prepared for a long time, training hard and fighting for approval of our participation. Nothing was easy. My partner, clear, my coach, King, and I were aiming to get into the top 8 at the Asian Games.

Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle one week before departure, which frustrated me beyond belief. I had physiotherapy every day following the injury, and tried to recover as quickly as possible. Of course, the ankle could not heal completely in a few days, so I had no choice but to just try my best and have my ankle taped when I played in matches.

We played against a team from Thailand, Mongolia, and Malaysia. The most difficult and important match was that against the Malaysian Team. We played well for the match and tried our very best. But finally we lost to them and ranked 9. It was so close. We nearly reached our goal - to be among the first 8 teams.

I, Milton Friedman was born on July 31, 1921, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the fourth and last child and first son of Sarah Ethel (Landau) and Jeno Saul Friedman. My parents were born in Carpatho-Ruthenia of the Soviet Union. They emigrated to the U.S. in their teens, meeting in New York. When I was a year old, my parents moved to Rahway, N.J., a small town about 20 miles from New York City.

I was awarded a competitive scholarship to Rutgers University. I graduated from Rutgers in 1932. I financed the rest of my college expenses by the usual mixture of waiting at tables, clerking in a retail store, occasional entrepreneurial ventures, and summer earnings. Shortly, however, I became interested in economics.

In economics, I had the good fortune to be exposed to two remarkable men: Arthur F. Burns and Homer Jones. Arthur Burns shaped my understanding of economic research, introduced me to the highest scientific standards, and became a guiding influence on my subsequent career. Homer Jones introduced me to rigorous economic theory, made economics exciting and relevant, and encouraged me to go on to graduate work. On his recommendation, the Chicago Economics Department offered me a tuition scholarship. As it happened, I was also offered a scholarship by Brown University in Applied Mathematics, but, by that time, I had definitely transferred my primary allegiance to economics. In 1976 I won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for my achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy. In 1977, at age 65,1 retired from the University of Chicago after teaching there for 30 years.
