Profesionalisme Secepat Kilat

Tidak ada masa singkat yang bisa ditempuh oleh seseorang untuk menjadi seorang Profesional.


Ibu Nug, menceritakan kisah ini kepada saya--lebih tepatnya kami. Saat penyeleksian guru untuk ditempatkan di SMK Alat Berat, terpilihlah sekitar 8 orang yang dirasa layak untuk mendapat amanah ini, dari total kuota 9 orang. Kenapa begitu sulit? Kenapa begitu sedikit? Jawabannya adalah karena mahasiswa saat ini--yang diseleksi tersebut--begitu menjunjung profesionalitas sehingga tak mau kalau ke'profesional'an mereka hanya dihargari tiga setengah juta rupiah.

Saya rasa itu cerita yang tak lagi baru, mengingat kisah-kisah seperti itu mungkin akan sering ditemui di berbagai tempat. Mahasiswa baru lulus, sudah merasa diri mereka profesional dan kurang jika hanya mendapat gaji sekitar 3-4 juta per bulan.

#NegeriSaya How Are You, Indonesian Maritim?

I was wondering, how my country's maritim is now? No, I was thinking that I can't imagine at all this idiom, "Our ancestral was a sailor."

Nenek moyangku seorang pelaut
Gemar mengarung luas samudra
Menerjang ombak tiada takut
Menempuh badai sudah biasa...

FYI, I search that lyric on google..! Gosh, my grandfather always sang that song when I was a child, but now I forgot all. WHY?

Maybe because I can't even imagine what does it mean, "Our ancestral was a sailor."
I live in land--nor the rice field, and went to the beach twice in one year, when I got vacation. And because I was still child, I can't know how sailorman's life is. 

It's ironic when remembered that my--our--country is 1/4 land and 3/4 sea. But when Soeharto lead this country 15 years ago, it is said that he was focused just on agrarian potency, forgetting 75% Indonesia's maritim potency. Green Revolution, something which always come in school books. 

I didn't realize that I have forgotten this idiom, "Nenek moyangku seorang pelaut." but now I realized.
