Gagal untuk Menang

Saat kemenangan datang, kita berpikir itu karena kita layak untuk menang
Saat kegagalan datang, kita bertanya kenapa Tuhan begitu tega membuat kita gagal?
Ya, Kita tahu bahwa segala sesuatunya terjadi atas seizin Tuhan, mengapa kita begitu mudah menyalahkan Tuhan saat kita gagal dan meng"Aku"kan diri saat kita berhasil? seakan-akan Tuhan hanya mampu memberi kegagalan dala hidup kita.
SOMBONG!
ya, itulah diri kita saat berpikir demikian. siapakah kita sehingga kita mampu terus berada di puncak kemenangan tanpa mau tahu rasanya gagal?
Kesuksesan yang instan hanya akan bertahan sementara, tetapi keuksesan yang dicapai setelah beberapa kali kegagalan akan membuat kita lebih menghargai dan memaknai arti sukses tersebut. Tuhan tahu apa yang terbaik bagi kita, Dia tahu apa yang kita butuhkan. dan Dia sungguh-sungguh tahu bagaimana kesuksesan itu harusnya terjadi dalam hidup kita.

keep humble, stay confident and never ever give up on your life

Job Seeker dan Masa Depan yang Cerah

Well, it's been 40 days since my graduation day

Saat kuliah ada banyak impian yang ada dalam pikiran kita, masa depan yang cerah pastilah adalah impian semua mahasiswa, tak terkecuali saya. aktif mengikuti organisasi dan antusias mengikuti berbagai kompetisi dilakukan guna mengasah soft skill dan menemukan jati diri yang sebenarnya. Kemudian, masa-masa mengenyam pendidikan itu pun berakhir 7 Januari 2016 dan dilepas oleh Universitas 1 Maret ditahun yang sama. Seakan-akan masa depan yang terang benderang sudah menyambut di depan, nyatanya adalah bahwa hidup ternyata tidak semudah membalikkan telapak tangan, tidak semudah kupu-kupu yang lantas terbang begitu ia melepaskan diri dari kepompong.

"Perjuangan" yes, itu adalah kata paling tepat untuk menggambarkan diri seorang fresh graduate. Lapangan pekerjaan memang ada banyak, tapi angkatan kerja yang siap mengisi jumlah posisi yang tersedia jauh lebih banyak, alhasil, berjuang untuk merebut posisi yang adalah satu-satunya yang bisa dilakukan.

Ada saat dimana saya mempertanyakan mengapa begitu sulit mendapatkan pekerjaan yang saya impikan? saya sudah aktif berorganisasi, memiliki sertifikat prestasi, bahkan saya lulus dengan predikat cumlaude. Secara prosedur, saya sudah melakukan apa yang seharusnya saya lakukan untuk setidaknya selangkah lebih dekat dengan karir impian saya. Tapi memang benar, bahwa hidup tak selalu mudah dan nyaman. Semua yang terjadi dalam hidup adalah sebuah proses, kesulitan mencari pekerjaan adalah hal yang nantinya akan membuat kita lebih menghargai posisi dimana kita akan ditempatkan. Jika kita mendapatkan sesuatu dengan cara yang mudah, maka kita akan melepaskannya dengan mudah, tapi ketika kita mendapatkan sesuatu dengan penuh perjuangan, maka kita akan menjaganya sepenuh hati.

Masih merasa bahwa masa depan mulai terasa hampa, tidak ada harapan jelas yang bisa saya genggam erat? Well, berserahlah pada Tuhan, Saya yakin bahwa masa depan sungguh ada dan pengharapan pada Tuhan tak akan berakhir dengan sia-sia

Surplus Creator Goes to Final DYSE 2015

Announcement picture from @Dancommunity


DYSE (Danone Young Social Entrepreneur) is a social entrepreneurship competition among Indonesia University students which is based on Danone Sustainability Development Program.
When the first time I saw about this competition I feel so interested because there is a big chance to start a business with a free funding, moreover this is a social business, so we can get two benefits in a raw, profit and help people in need.

At the beginning of May, I share about this competition to my friends to know if any of them interested to join, and then my friend Juwyta chat me to make a team, without any consideration I said OK! Then we need three more students to complete this team because one of the requirements is the team must consisted by 5 students.

And then I think that Jefri and Marconi are good enough to fill the blank space on this team, Jefri is the finalist of Marketeers Competition and Marconi is a vice president of AKSI INDONESIA MUDA, that’s a good opportunity. After I offer them to join, they said OK! Because they have the same passion in business. And we need one more students, we have a long discussion to choose one of our friends to complete this time, suddenly we remember about Tuti, she is a very cheerful and diligent students, in addition she is from Padang, so she must good at cooking. So I BBM-ed her and asked if she would join us to embrace(?) this competition. And she said that she would enthusiastically.

Now, I want to introduce the member of Surplus Creator team :
1. CEO - Samuel Putra Lumban Batu/Management/2012
2. CMO - Jefri Parulian Nainggolan/Business Administration/2012
3. CFO - Juwyta Sinaga/management/2012
4. COO - Tuti Sri Endrawati/management/2012
5. CHRO - Marconi Sitompul/Public Administration/2012

After our team was complete the next step was to think about what kind of business would we built and who would be the target.

It was a very complicated discussion, so we started with brainstorming, each members should give their ideas to be discussed together, so many idea we proposed that night and after a long argument we got one conclusion “To empower refugees of Sinabung to make Andaliman Sauce” all of us agreed with that project because andaliman is an identity of bataknese and Sinabung refugees is a community that really-really need to be empowered because they have no work anymore because of the eruption of Sinabung. Moreover there is no industry that produce andaliman sauce so far, so we are the pioneer, GREAT opportunity, huh?

The project had chosen, and then we work on the proposal, it takes less more 3 weeks to finish the proposal and sent it to the DYSE’s committees by uploaded to website. Few days after we uploaded the proposal we invited to do a Presentation+Interview session, the location was in Pizza Hut Merdeka Walk, with red coordinated costume we through the session confidently (I’m not sure about this) it takes one hour and a half. And the interviewers were two. they were so young and looks so smart, and the main judge asked us to revise our slide presentation and must be received by her in two days.

A week after the regional selection we emailed by Miss Tatya and said “congratulations” because she has choose our team as one of the team she would present to the committee but we have to revise our slide and proposal (again). But we love to do that, because we got closer to be one of the 12 national finalists. Now, Our competitor from Medan is only one, that was Toba Dream Team. The national committees will decide is any of us deserve to run into the final selection. Few days after we sent the revised slide and proposal the announcement date finally came.

@Dancommunity (The official account of Groupe Danone) upload an announcement picture, and that was one of the best picture I have ever seen, because there was Surplus Creator – USU as one of the 12 national finalists. And we were the only one team from ex.java island. So grateful J

After the announcement, now we enter Pilot Project Implementation, we have to make an introduction videos, some revisions and preparing our prototype. It’s gonna be a busy months, but we love it, we enjoy every process and steps J I believe that we can’t accomplish anything if we do nothing.

-Samuel, the CEO
