Inspiring people

I found this link from a mailing list:
http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cnn.heroes/archive09/index.html

It's about CNN heroes - ordinary people with extraordinary impact *loves the punchline*. All of them have many inspiring stories. And there is one Indonesia among the list too! Check his story here.

The people there are divided into several categories. Among them one made me thinking, deep: YOUNG WONDER - Outstanding achievement by a person 25 or under.
You see, in less than two months i will be 23. That's two years before 25. So, what can I do in that period? Will I ever have my "outstanding achievement"? It also reminded me that a friend once told me that my name means "inspiration" in English.



Well, I guess I have to try harder.

Ironi Perubahan

Saya baru beli sebuah buku, judulnya Hot, Flat, and Crowded (aahh,, senangnya punya uang sendiri :D). Baru baca bab satu sih, namanya juga baru beli kemarin. Tapi di bab satu ini saya menemukan sesuatu yang cukup membuat saya tersentak.

Bab satu ini menceritakan tentang pandangan penulis terhadap negaranya, Amerika, saat ini. Intinya sih, Amerika masih nomer satu, tapi saat ini berada di jalur yang salah. Lalu dia menulis:

Kalau kita ingin semuanya tetap seperti ini, banyak sekali yang harus kita ubah.

Well well, lalu bagaimana dengan kita, yang jelas-jelas tidak ingin begini terus?
