Membaca banyak komentar di posting2 terdahulu saia yang nyaris serupa, muncul sedikit rasa iba sekaligus miris. Banyak teman2 pembaca yang menanggapi posting2 di sini dengan ‘permintaan beasiswa’ dsb, mengiba-iba dan memohon untuk memberi informasi. ya, memang itulah salah satu tujuan saia membuat blog pendidikan yang didedikasikan kepada para pelajar dan mahasiswa ini. menjadi agen informasi bagi teman2 akademisi baik dalam hal beasiswa, lomba, dan ajang prestasi lainnya.
namun, kadang2 agak sedih juga membaca komentar teman2 yang inginnn sekali melanjutkan sekolah/kuliah, tapi terhalang keterbatasan dana. memang sakit rasanya jika kita gagal mencapai mimpi, apalagi karena sebab yang tidak adil. melalui blog ini saia berusaha membantu teman2 semua, meskipun mungkin tidak bisa maksimal. sebelumnya saia mohon maaf pula jika tidak bisa membalas pertanyaan2 yang teman2 ajukan dalam komentar. karena sekali lagi, saia hanya berperan sebagai agen informasi yang tidak terlibat langsung dalam kegiatan/info tsb. mengenai detail-nya, teman2 bisa bertanya langsung kepada lembaga pemberi informasi yang bersangkutan.
dan saia juga ingin memberi semangat kepada teman2 yang berusaha mencari beasiswa. berdasarkan nasihat master2 beasiswa di situs2 scholarship yang pernah saia baca, JANGAN PERNAH MENGGANTUNGKAN DIRI KEPADA ORANG LAIN dalam mencari beasiswa. maksudna adalah, jika ingin mendapat info beasiswa sebanyak mungkin, secara pribadi kita arus berusaha mandiri untuk searching info itu ke mana-mana. bisa dengan googling di internet, ikut pameran beasiswa, dsb, dll. karena info itu sangat dinamis. jika kita tidak berusaha meng-update nya terus, maka kita akan ketinggalan.
berikut saia berikan sedikit dari sekian banyak situs di internet yang menawarkan informasi beasiswa.

dan masih banyak lagi Teman2!! Teman juga bisa join di milis beasiswa teraktif di Indonesia, beasiswa@yahoogroups.com. Di sini teman2 bisa mendapat info aktual sekaligus diskusi dengan pakar2 beasiswa.
Tetap semangat, Teman. Raihlah bintang dengan caramu sendiri!!! ^^

Indonesia as a development country frequently facing the food problems, such as starvation and the lack of nutrition. Recently, the death caused by starvation and lack of nutrition especially for children is often informed in the news programs. Ironically, it happens mostly in the area which has a numerous natural sources. Unfortunately, the problems are caused by the low level of welfare, less of knowledge of nutrition in our society, and careless about healthy life style, not because of the incapability to provide food from Indonesia’s nature. Since Indonesia has a various kind of food that can fulfill the need of its citizen.
The government plays an important role to solve those problems. There are a lot of effort that have been done, such as provide inexpensive rice called raskin for the poor society and the nutrient education. However, the government still has not found the right solution yet. Support and cooperation from the entire field that related with citizen’s welfare are needed to fix this condition.

kata2 itu benar2 membuat saia termotivasi!!! pertama kali mendengar dari senior saia, eh ternyata kmaren saia menemukan bahwa buanyaaaakkkkk banged orang2 laen yang mendengungkan jargon itu. kalo ‘dikepung’ dengan kata2 bersemangat gitu mau gak mau jadi ikud smangad juga. aihhh senangna hidup dikelilingi orang2 yang selalu bersemangat!!! ^^
emang bener loh. jangan pernah takut mencoba. urusan sukses/gagal, menang/kalah, dipuji/dicela, itu mah BELAKANGAN!!! gak perlu lah hal2 kaiak gitu dipikirin. karena klo terus dipikir malah jadi hambatan, akirna kita ragu2 terus mau maju apa gag. klo tertarik, ya udah coba aja. ngapain dipikir berat2? belum tentu kesempatan yang sama bisa dateng lagi!!!
gagal pun ya, pastinya kita uda dapet pengalaman. kita udah melakukan hal yang orang lain belum pernah lakukan. kita uda SELANGKAH LEBIH MAJU daripada orang lain. gak ada ruginya mencoba. gak pernah rugi kita melakukan sesuatu yang kita inginkan. yang paling rugi itu yah orang yang NGGAK MELAKUKAN APA-APA.
waaa dunia ini luas banged!!! I’m in the beginning of my youth!!! kesempatan, peluang, cita2, semua ada di depan mata!!! I’m full of courage, I wanna try something new!!!
-DO EVERYTHING U CAN BEFORE U CAN’T DO ANYTHING-
I’m still in 1st semester, exactly in 1st week of my College days. I am not a great university student anyway…^^ But like U, I also wanna be like that. Many people here, in my campus, inspired me. many books also talk about this. maybe we can share some opinion…and this is what I can say after some reading, observation, and a little thinking. U also can give ur idea…we can learn together!
1. TAKE EVERY CHANCE
So many things we can do in our campus. IT’S UNLIMITED. Not only study. The plus value of university that we can’t get in high school is a chance to join much more organization and activity. We can join many UKM’s, be a member of BEM or BPM, have an own club or community, it’s just more freedom, Guyz! coz we know that we have more flexible schedule in College than in hi-school, so it’s getting free for us to do many activities. be an active student! and be sure, TAKE EVERY CHANCE. u never know how precious some chance will be until u lost it. i experienced it just some weeks ago. a little disappointed of course. i remembered what my senior said after that… “Just try every chance, even if u failed, u have gone a step forward.” So, keep tryin’ friends!!! Don’t be shy or afraid to try something…BE DARE AND FACE EVERY CHALLENGE IN FRONT OF U! GET UP AND MOVE UR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. BE CONSISTENT
Keep fightin’ with ur goal. Once u set ur goal, then don’t stop working until u reach it. Maybe u’ll face some ‘interruption’ in d’middle that decrease ur motivation…but whatever happens, u have to keep movin’! if u wanna reach IPK 4.0 for example, then keep diligent in ur study. sometimes we only have strong motivation in d’beginning, less in d’middle, and lost in d’end…hehehe. if it happened, we must remind ourselves about the goal, about d’things we dream. then go back and achieve it!!!
3. WIDE UR NETWORK
after college we’re going to work. maybe build a business. we need social network, of course. we can find it here, exactly in our campus. look for as many friends as u can. in ur class, ur study program, ur faculty, other faculties, all d’students in ur university. ur senior, ur junior, ur lecturers, ur university staffs, make friend with everybody coz they’ll be ur social network in d’future. u can ask for their help if u need some job, or partner for business, or just information about anything. maybe not everybody can become friendly, but at least keep ur smile and be good with everybody, it’s d’first step to get closer.
4. BE RESPONSIBLE WITH UR SELF
Being an university student means that we have been a mature person. we must have our own personality, be ourselves. we can’t do like what we usually do in hi-school; following friends, being influenced negatively, can’t make our own decisions…it’s a kind of ‘childish’ things. we have to be independent. we take our own way and be responsible of it. this is the way to be mature… u know in d’future we’ll be a leader. start to make our own decision!
5. GIVE ATTENTION TO D’WORLD
We are no more live inside of d’building, bordered by some high fences of d’campus. we have to see what happen around us, pay more attention to our environment. start being sensitive to any social issues, start to care about what newspapers say today, start build relation with d’world where u exactly live now.
coz just a few years later, d’power is in our hand. d’world’s fate is completely depend to us!
woaaa…kind of motivate my own self, hahaha. I hope we all can be a great university students… coz d’more great students we have, d’brighter Indonesian future will be. KEEP FIGHTIN’!!!
Bagi teman2 mahasiswa yang sudah berusia minimal 18 tahun dan ingin sekali pergi ke luar negeri mengikuti semacam kongres kepemudaan dan berkontribusi rerhadap perdamaian internasional (^^) silahkan kunjungi situs berikut:
www.isfit.org
ISFiT adalah International Student Festival yang sudah dilaksanakan secara reguler sejak 1990. Festival selanjutnya akan diikuti oleh 450 students dari seluruh dunia pada 20 Februari-1 Maret 2009, bertempat di Trondheim, Norwegia. Tahun depan temanya PEACEBUILDING.
untuk teman2 yang tertarik bisa apply langsung ke situsnya…soal biaya sebenarnya tidak ditanggung, alias pake duit sendiri. tapi kita bisa mengajukan ‘travel support’ yang udah disediakan di form-nya. ini meliputi biaya transportasi dari home city kita ke Trondheim (pulang-pergi). kalo gak gitu, bisa juga minta dana ke Universitas. kayakna acara ini bakal asik deh…ikutan yuk!!!
Jawabannya pasti YA. Keluar dari ruang seminar Anda pasti akan berpikir tentang sesuatu yang baru dan mendapat tambahan semangat. siapapun motivatornya. entah itu sekelas Andrie Wongso atau Tung Desem Waringin maupun hanya dosen atau guru Anda. Anda akan lebih percaya diri. punya tujuan dan segera ingin melakukannya. pertanyaannya, BERAPA LAMA efek yang ditimbulkan oleh seminar motivasi itu akan BERTAHAN??????????????
saia pribadi pertama kenal seminar motivasi waktu SMA. efeknya memang dahsyat, Sodara2. saia jadi smangad blajar dan lebih ‘nafsu’ mengejar nilai. TAPI……………….
it’s just a few weeks. abis itu saia kembali malas dan tidak bergairah dan butuh motivasi lagi. haaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
emang sih, pada dasarnya SATU-SATUNYA orang yang bisa memotivasi kita hanyalah DIRI KITA SENDIRI. gak bisa selamanya kita mengandalkan orang lain. lagian berapa duit bakal abiz buat ngadain seminar motivasi terus2an???
di kampus saia ini seminar motivasi memang diadakan reguler. seminggu sekali bisa. kebetulan dosen2 banyak yang berjiwa motivator. jadi termotivasi sih…tapi apa efek jangka panjangnya? lama2 bosen juga. hehehe. tapi tanpa sadar, smangat dalam diri ntu muncul2 sendiri. waahhhh anehhh.
ada yang bisa menjelaskan lebih dalam soal ini?
Waktu semua manusia di dunia ini sama, 24 jam telah diberikan oleh Tuhan. Tapi mengapa ada orang yang sukses dan yang gagal? Mengapa ada yang bisa melakukan banyak hal dan yang cuma menganggur? Rahasianya ada pada bagaimana kita bisa mengatur waktu.
Enam hal yang sering dialami pelajar yang suka mengeluh ‘gak punya waktu’:
Jangan Suka Menunda-nunda! Agar tak menunda-nunda tugas:
Kita harus disiplin! Just like Bobby Knight says…Discipline is:
