Judul blog ini ukan berarti aku menghina manchester united dan beralih menjadi pendukung the gunners. Judul tersebut hanya mewakili hasil liga inggris yang menjadi "sesuatu banget ya" dalam seminggu ini. Kekalahan Red Devil dari tetangganya yang berisik memang diluar dugaan semua orang, terlebih skor yang tercipta cukup telak 1 - 6 dan terjadi di theatre of dream, sebuah tempat yang sudah lama tidak bersahabat dari para tamu. 

Tidak perlu bermuram durja terlalu lama, menciptakan hari yang suram dan mematikan sosial media karena tidak tahan dengan hujatan para M.U. Haters (karena di dunia ini hanya ada dua penggemar bola, M.U. Lovers dan M.U. haters, hahaha #abaikan). Namun peristiwa inilah yang perlu dikonversi menjadi momentum, momentum dimana bangkit dari keterpurukan.Inilah yang menarik dari Manchester United, mereka seringkali mengubah keterpurukan menjadi momentum kebangkitan. Tragedi munich 1958 menjadi sebuah cerita klasik sebuah kebangkitan. Partai perdana pasca tragedi berhasil dilalui dengan menekuk Sheffield Wednesday 3 - 0 di putaran ke 5 piala FA. Sangat luar biasa karena bukan hanya masih dalam suasana duka, tetapi juga bermain dengan tim yang baru terbentuk setelah 8 pemain inti mereka tewas dalam tragedi itu. Kekalahan 1 - 6 juga bisa menjadi sebuah momentum, momuntem bahwa setan merah tetaplah setan merah, yang selalu tegak menghadapi tragedi dan menatap ke depan. kemenangan 3 - 0 atas aldershot dan 1- 0 atas everton memang belum bisa dikatakan sebagi kebangkitan tetapi mereka berada di jalan yang benar.  

Beralih ke salah satu rival abadi Manchester united, Arsenal menjadi topik minggu ini. Dengan rekan jejak pertandingan musim ini, wajar saja banyak yang lebih mengunggulkan the blues untuk meraih point penuh. Terlebih arsenal kehilangan pemain pemain kunci seperti Fabregas dan nasi. Namun laga derby kemarin mereka menjungkalkan semua prediksi. Pasukan muda Wenger berhasil membuktikan bahwa mereka bukanlah tim anak kecil yang belum matang. Setidaknya pertandingan ini bisa sedikit menjadi pembuktian bahwa kebijakan sang profesor yang memberli pemain muda, bukan pemain berpengalaman bukan sebuah kesalahan fatal. Di sisi lain, kekalahan ini juga tidak serta membuktikan bahwa villas-boas tidak kompeten karena mudanya usia. Momentum ini mungkin pas dengan perayaan sumpah pemuda di negeri ini, ternyata yang muda belum tentu tidak matang dan tak mampu menghadapi tantangan dan tekanan. 

Sepak bola adalah suatu pertandingan, sebuah permainan, setelah skor tercipta, maka berakhirlah sudah. Walau tidak di Indonesia ini, karena setelah pertandingan selesai, maka akan muncul pertandingan komen saling menghujat yang tak kalah seru dibanding dengan perang antar suku.

Bukankan lebih menarik menggali apa yang bisa diambil dari sebuah peristiwa..daripada hanya sekedar mempermasalahkan sebuah angka   

 

did you realize no one can see inside your view?

NKRI adalah omongkosong belaka tanpa keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat indonesia -killthedj-

bencana bukan dosa dan kalian bukan Tuhan!

kota metropolitan ini seperti banci taman lawang. Malam hari terlihat indah, tapi kalo siang hari.. gimana gitu..

kita memandang jauh,seperti ada yang yang tertinggal, seperti diam diam mengharapkan ada #np: kabar dari tepi atap pencakar langit - melancholic bitch

siapa yang salah

Penonton menyalahkan pemain, karena tidak bisa memenangkan pertandingan

pemain tidak salah, karena mereka sudah mengeluarkan segala kemampuannya, walaupun memang kemampuan mereka hanya segitu segitu saja.

Kalau gitu salahkan pelatih saja, karena sudah tahu pemainnya memiliki kemampuan segitu segitu saja, tetap dipasang dalam starting line up.

Pelatih tidak sepenuhnya salah, karena dengan kompetisi yang tidak kunjung dimulai, sangat sulit mencari pemain pemain baru yang berpotensi.

Kalau gitu salahkan PSSI yang tidak segera menggulirkan kompetisi..

Tapi tentunya PSSI punya berbagai macam alasan yang logis maupun tak logis...

Alasan tak logisnya, menyalahkan penonton a.k.a suporter indonesia karena telah melengserkan Nurdin Halid sehingga pengurus yang ada adalah orang orang yang nda pernah mengelola sepakbola....

Mari saling menyalahkan

"kita ditelan alasan, seperti didera badai, seperti sesaat yang cepat dan lesat di matanya" #np: kabar dari atap pencakar langit - melancholic bitch

You've got to find what you love, says Jobs

sebuah pidato dari seorang rekacipta jenius

You've got to find what you love, says Jobs
(Stanford Report, June 14, 2005)

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." 

My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. 

It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down -- that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand, not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: It was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

peyorasi galau

Sejenak melepaskan penatnya mata dari radiasi 14" dengan memandang pepohonan di seberang ditemani lantunan nada dari The Milo.

The Milo..sebuah band yang dahulu didaulat sebagai band galau segalau galaunya. selain the milo, adajuga zeke and the popo yang setia bermusik galau. Dan secara otomaris otak ini selalu mengasosiasikan kata galau dengan band band ini serta lirik lirik mereka yang dalam dan bermakna.

Namun, kini kata galau semakin populer. melihat timeline sosmed, kata galau makin sering muncul. Mencoba menilik salah satu grup yang mengukuhkan dirinya sebagai kumpulan orang galau, ternyata menurutku isinya seperti kumpulan orang sejenis alay. Semakin lama galau semakin populer dan murah. Dan otak mulai bingung mengasosiasikan kata galau karena sering kali tersesat pada belantara alay dan cenderung mendayu dayu. 

Akhirnya, otak memutuskan bahwa kata galau telah mengalami peyorasi, suatu penurunan makna.

hahah tentu ini sangat subyektif..

Tapi itulah...

bagiku standar galau adalah the milo, ZATPP, dan kawan kawannya

dan akan kubiarkan dia menjadi sesuatu yang mewah

*kembali memandang daun daun tertiup angin melalui sebuah kotak kaca sambil melepas penat*

(mungkin) yang sebenarnya dibutuhkan di jalanan negeri ini: 30%ketangkasan mengemudi, 70%etika mengemudi

mereka bukan superman juga bukan batman

Jatuhnya pesawat Cassa 212 di pegunungan Leuser, bohorok menjadi topik utama dalam beberapa hari ini. Dan seperti biasa, semua sibuk mencari siapa yang salah. Ok. aku setuju jika pemerintah menjadi salah satu yang bisa disalahkan dalam lambatnya operasi penyelamatan. Bukankah tugas pemerintah untuk menyusun anggaran terkait BASARNAS serta menyusun suatu manajemen yang baik terutama dalam hal kewenangan serta birokrasi BASARNAS. Namun apabila ada yang menyalahkan tim penyelamat (SAR) karena terlalu lambat atau tidak kompeten saya tidak setuju!!.

TIM SAR bukanlah Superman yang bisa terbang kemana saja menembus badai atau Batman yang dilengkapi peralatan canggih nan hebat. Bukan rahasia umum, BASARNAS negeri ini masih belum ditunjang dengan peralatan yang memadai. entah karena negara ini terlalu miskin, atau Badan ini dianggap tidak penting, atau mungkin terlalu banyak mafia yang memotong anggarannya.

Aku sendiri merasa cukup familiar dengan SAR. Ketika masih menjadi calon anggota di sispala SMA, materi diberikan oleh petugas SAR langsung. Ketika menjadi pengurus pun aku sering ke kantor Basarnas untuk mengundang mereka, bahkan main ke rumah mereka. Dengan penghasilan yang tidak seberapa mereka harus mau mempertaruhkan nyawa mereka untuk melakukan penyelamatan.

Banyak orang yang mengkritisi mengapa cuaca menjadi alasan penundaan. Hm...mungkin mereka mengira penyelamatan yang terjadi sama seperti kecelakan di jalan tol kali ya. Padahal, Cuaca sangat berpengaruh dalam misi penyelamatan. Helikopter canggih pun seringkali terhambat oleh cuaca buruk, apalagi helikopter yang digunakan BASARNAS. Melakukan reppeling pada tebing statis dengan angin kencang saja sangat susah, apalagi hanya bergelantungan di helikopter. Jangan disamakan dengan wahana flyingfox

Banyak orang yang teriak..kalo nda bisa lewat jalur udara ya jalur darat saja. Wah medan disana bukan seperti hutan kelapa sawit yang datar....Kontur dengan kemiringan hingga 70 derajat, sungai besar dan dalam ditambah hutan tropis yang lebat sangat sulit untuk ditembus. Kalangan pendaki pun menganggap pendakian Gunung Leuser sangat berat karena medan yang berbukit dan cuaca yang tak menentu bahkan bisa hujan setiap hari. 

Bahkan ada yang berkomentar lebih sadis, basarnas mengirim tim pramuka karena nda brani menembus badai. Hahaha, saya berani jamin ngirim pasukan sekelas navi seal atau delta force pun dengan peralatan yang dimiliki BASARNAS juga akan memerlukan waktu yang lama untuk mencapai lokasi kejadian.

Keselamatan tim SAR merupakan yang utama dalam misi pencarian. Nda lucu kalo tim SAR tanpa perhitungan matang langsung menuju lokasi kejadian hanya karena diuber uber waktu/ditekan pihak lain tapi akhirnya malah harus di-ESAR karena kecelakaan. Mungkin dengan melihat film The Guardians-nya Kevin Costner bisa memberi sedikit gambaran bagaimana kehidupan tim penyelamat itu.

Saya yakin petugas SAR bukanlah orang yang cari nama atau minta dihargai..tapi setidaknya bukan untuk diremehkan dan disalahkan....
