Unlimited Creandivity

yaaa ak liat belakangan ini jumlah reality show yang dramatis (dan dibuat2 yah kayak e) di tivi kok tambah uaakkeehh ae ya.. yg baru yg tak liat tu ntah di global tv, trans 7 tah tv one yah.. lupa ak.. selain itu, ada jg yang di TPI yang dibawain Anjasmara itu..

kalo yg di TPI itu, kebacut kayak e deh.. acara e lek g salah judul e minta maaf ya ? tp kok apa yang ditampilkan di tivi itu, seolah2, semua pion2 pertikaian dikumpulkan, dan diadu di depan 200 juta penonton indonesia..sangat2 g mendidik la wes pokok e.. apa perlu semua pertengkaran itu didokumentasikan gt ya ? seng tak liat kemarin ae sampe pukul2an.. banyak kata2 sensor e kok.. tp seolah2 penonton di studio itu nikmati.. senyum2.. kasi ‘huuu’ kalo ada yg marah.. yak ampun..

trus, kalo misal e orang e dikejar2 dan ditanya2i (seperti di termehek2 gt), trus orang e itu g mau jawab, malah cenderung ngusir.. mnrut ku itu ya ws bener ya .. kan privasi e orang.. eee, biasa e mbe MC e justru dipanas2i.. blg e g nyelesaikan masalah.. mau tanya.. ini itu. bah.. itu mah nama e mempermalukan orang.. bener2 keterlaluan la.. entah motif acara kayak gn apa.. dan manfaat apa yang didapat..

ironisnya, sesuai prinsip ada gula ada semut, tentu menjamurnya acara gn pun karena akeh yang nonton.. kok isa suka nonton gini an ya ? kalo ak yang jadi yang di tivi itu, malunya setengah mati.. jadi, apa perlu masalah astep-ashor-praktikan dimasukin ke tivi juga ya ? hehe..

yaahh.. hari ini bawaan e pengen ngeluh tok ae.. wew..babah lah ya.. kalo g dikeluarin unek2 e ya g sehat toh..

- forum di intranet kampus : semakin lama semakin nyebelin mbaca e.. sejak ada kasus posting salah satu ashor, tmbh gencar ae menyerang asisten2.. dan yg ak g ngerti, semua e selalu sak suka udel e posting2 yang menurut ku kdang berlebihan.. apalgi yang trakhir2 ini.. sampe bwat thread judulnya gn ‘Untuk Para Astep’ kalo ak g salah sih yah.. juambul.. ak kudu emosi ae.. orang2 yg g ngerti susah e hidup astep itu ya gt2 itu la.. kalo g suka, ya langsung ae posting.. trus nyeret2 laen2 ws, ada yg blg seleksi astep e lebih ketat (yg scr g langsung berarti mempertanyakan kualitas KaLab dan astep lama).. nih lo ya.. sekedar sharing hidup saya aja semster ini.. ws kuliah 22 SKS, ngastepi 2-3 prak itu nambah 10 sks an lah.. kalo 1 prak diitung 3 SKS.. belum praktikum dw yang sem ini rata2 3 prak.. tmbh lagi 10 sks.. berarti 1 minggu di skul itu kr2 40 SKS.. yah g usah tau pisan lah yo bwat para praktikan e.. rasa e g penting jg kalian tau gmn hidup e astep.. nti dikira astep e sok susah.. ga perlu kayak gt.. punya tanggung jawab lebih, yah sudah seharus e pny skill dan ketahanan mental + fisik yg lebih tinggi lah.. tp yang ak sesalkan sih ya, kalian iki lo cek gampang e ngeluh.. soal susah ngeluh.. ditegesin dikit, dikira e mbentak.. apa2 blg e sewenang2..

nah, pdhl kalian iki lho, liaten ya.. disuruh log off kalo waktu ws habis, pasti jek nyolong2 kerja.. trus, masio disuruh jok tolah toleh pas materi, apalagi tes tengah/akhir, jek ae nolah noleh.. dikira astep e g tau.. ws banyak yg kalian perbuat untuk mencobai astep2 itu.. dilunaki, tmbh ngelunjak.. ditegesin dikit, seolah2 innocent.. ws gitu, waktu tes praktikum, bolak balik sampe bosen dibilang i tolong ashor e, hapus o kriteria yang g kalian buat.. gt ae susah ta ???

entah ya, tp apa kalian pikir astep itu suka ta nilai kalian elek2 ???? kita2 ini ya melas lho mikiri nilai kalian.. soal2 e itu ya kadang bwat gampang ya kegampngen, bwat yang medium, dosen ae ws rodo cemas kira2 isa g.. belum bwat soal level hard..

tolong laen kali mikir baik2 ya.. praktikum itu bukan mainan.. nilai kalian adalah apa yang kalian buat dari tangan kalian.. sama sekali g ada campur tangan astep nya.. astep dan ashor itu dah bersedia luangin waktu ngajari kalian.. dan susah2 bikin soal.. susah2 mikirin 1 kelas, apalagi kalo nilai e elek2.. itu baru masalah praktikum, belum masalah skul dan masalah pribadi lain e.. astep itu juga manusia biasa.. jadi yah tolong lah berbaik hati o dikit.. ngerti o astep mu yang 1 praktikum cuma ada 1 kan di tiap kelas.. drpd astep e yang ws 1, ws capek, masi harus ngertiin 30 an praktikan..

- praktikan2 yang cenderung alergi terhadap temannya yang dapat nilai bagus : td sih ada kasus di kelas.. mboh ya kelas mana.. nda usa tau jg.. ada yg blg kalo dia nilai e g usah tinggi (pdhl nilai e tinggi, tp atas kerelaan diri dw dia ngapus kriteria yang menjadi hak nya.. salut ak mbe areke).. gr2 sungkan mbe konco2 e. tkut e ngrusak grade.. emg e kalian yakin ta ada GRADE itu ??? jok terlalu berharap.. prinsip nya cuma 1, do the best.. g usah ngurus nilai orang laen.. kalo ws dewasa, apa2 itu ada di tangan mu.. kalo tangan mu dw ae ws g isa, lapo berharap orang lain jg sama2 gagal e.. kalo mmg dee bisa lebih baek, tny rahasia ne apa.. jgn malah nuduh2 ‘ngrusak grade’.. gn2 ini yang membuat kualitas kita tmbh turun, karena yang mau maju malah dihambat.. yg g mau maju yah minggir aja :p

- sistem praktikum yang sebenernya kurang efektif, apalagi ditinjau dari sisi Software Engineering (mnrt Tovan).. hmm kita kan diajarin di Software Engineering cara bikin software yang baik.. yang pelan2 *tp g lambat*, yang rapi, terstruktur, alurnya ketok jelas.. tp di praktikum yang selama ini terjadi, tutornya ‘cuma’ spy praktikan bisa mengerjakan soal materi, bukan mengerti materi e apa.. *nah lho.. kurang baik apa toh astep2 e ini*.. trus praktikan dikasi waktu 30 menit untuk ngerjain praktikum.. yang membawa ke race condition, dan cenderung menghalalkan segala cara * mboh algoritma model opo, cara e piye, yng penting output e*.. g pake komen pasti e.. yah inti ne, g ada dari prinsip bikin software yang diterapkan di praktikum.. maka saudara tovan menanyakan, apakah sebenarnya esensi praktikum itu ? hehe.. yah ini saya juga masih belum tau apa solusi terbaiknya deh.. nanti bisa dikonsultasikan ma atasan..

- komputer2 yang mokong..mau dipake tes akhir malah nggeblek2 dw.. tp nama e barang elektronik.. isa senteng2 dw sak karep e dw.. ya piye maneh.. suka mu la wes.. mari ngene tak format.. babah.. kapok kon.. mampus..

sementara itu sek.. tapi hati ku ya masi g dingin.. panas ae.. grrr..

kayak e aku g perna sampe semarah ini ya (kecuali pas pemilu2 it haha).. ws kesel.. kecewa.. g isa turu maneh.. o ya, kalo mgkn ada praktikan yang baca, jgn langsung tersnggung kalo mmg g melakukan hal yang di atas.. kalo mmg tersinggung, y sori ae.. kalian punya hak kritik orang laen, ak jg punya.. aplagi ini BLOG KU, bukan forum..

well, i’ve been thinking all the way about one thing, which we call TALENT.. some said it is a natural ability that god-given to somebody, while others said that it is a advantage that somebody has that make them easier to achieve something.. whatever it is, it has been considered as one of the greatest factor of success.. many have said that Kaka, Lionel Messi, Mozart, Beethoven, Michael Jordan, and so on are the talented and the gifted ones.. so, do the others are not the talented ? or are they haven’t found their gift yet ?

for me, talent and the talented is very interesting.. and i’ve bought 2 books from Amazon which related to success and talent.. one titled Outliers (by Malcolm Gladwell).. i finished reading this book yesterday.. and today, i started reading ‘Talent is Overrated : What really separates world class performers to others’.. these two books have an intimidative title for me.. I will definitely review these two books in my blog after this.. maybe i will write about the Outliers tonight or tomorrow morning.

In my opinion, talent is only a small part of success, especially after reading Outliers.. Outliers said that many factors decide the success of someone.. e.g : environment, social and economy condition, family, time, and etc.. Mr Gladwell gave an example about Bill Gates. He is not only great at programming, but one of the most important factor of his life to become a software mogul is that he has a privilege to do some programming jobs about 10 thousand hours freely while in that time, computers were hardly found. but lucky for Bill, he can access the computer as much as he can, and this gave him advantages that he was more ready to anticipate the software booming in that time.. another example, do we know how much time did Mozart, Beethoven, Jordan spend to achieve their peak level ? i believe that they had a ‘nightmarous’ training, intensive practice, rather than just believe on their talent and boom, they are great performers.. nothing great can be instantly achieved..

For me, talent is only taking 10-15% part of our success.. while the others, i believe, is the kind of hardwork, motivation, environment, and the other factors.. of course, still talent must be considered as a decisive factor.. but it will only differs some people to others if they has done same things (same practice time, same social condition, same teacher, and many other similarities).. Talent will be the last decider.. but we shouldn’t have only think about that talent, besides, we should think whether we has maximized other factors which we can handle, if we considered talent as a God-gift and it can’t be gotten easily.. sometimes, we haven’t practiced as hard as we can, so we couldn’t performed well, and of course we will say ‘okay, i’m not good. i don’t have any talent in this subject’..and of course after we said that, we will leave and judge that we are not talented..

so, i think, if you want to success, just choose what you want to be a world class performers at.. why we should be a world-class ? because it shows that you have to reach your maximum point *with or without your talent* to really do the best.. and first of all, knowing your environment condition will be a good idea.. after that, you can really focus on those things.. 10.000 hours of learning – tips from Outliers, and deliberate practice – tips from Talent is Overrated.. those two ‘training’ and ‘exercise’ should be done rather than just regret why others have talent while you think you don’t.. if you can maximize your 85-90% ability (minus the talent), you should be on ‘world-class’ level and it’s above the average people.. of course, if you have reached that stage, you will see so many people with skills like you, and in that stage, i can believe that there is ‘talent’ that differs us.. but as long as we haven’t reach our own maximum point, than we should consider about our effort, not just our talent.. yes it’s true that talent is believed can ease the attempt to reach the world-class performance.. but it’s not the only one factor..

well, me myself know that i haven’t / or haven’t found my real talent *if there is any*.. but i don’t like to just surrender to those who i believe has talent and more talented than me.. i will try as much as i can to pursue them *in positive ways* and reach my maximum performance.. if i am still in laziness, at least i know that i can’t do what the others can do because of myself, not just because they are more talented than me..
