Kak Gia adalah teman baikku yang berasal dari Tanggerang Banten. Terhitung lebih dari 2 tahun kami tidak berjumpa. Terakhir Kak Gia dan aku bertemu, mengobrol banyak, dan bercerita tentang kehidupan yang semakin terasa complicated saat kami sama-sama mengikuti Forum Indonesia Muda. Sedang, aku kenal dengan Kak Gia pertama kali di kegiatan kerelawanan saat aku masih menjadi mahasiswa, VTIC (Volunteerism Teaching Indonesian Children).

Sangat senang rasanya dalam hati ini sempat degdegan, Kenapa?
Kak Gia memakai cadar. Bukan, hal ini sama sekali tidak menggangguku apalagi takut bergaul dengan beliau. Kak Gia adalah salah satu panutanku dalam tegas menentukan pilihan. Keputusan Kak Gia menjadi lebih Sholeha dalam berpenampilan tentunya mendamaikan hati dan tentunya membuktikan bahwa memang beliau tegas dengan keputusannya, perubahan itu kearah yang lebih baik.
Kak Gia makin memotivasi dan mengispirasi untuk menjadi lebih baik serta membuat perubahan dalam diri. Tentunya lebih tegas dalam menentukan tujuan dan perubahan itu.
Bersama dengan lima anak didiknya di Ibad Ar Rahman Islamic Boarding School yang kebetulan mengikuti lomba di 5th International Young Inventors Award September 2018 lalu di Sanur, Bali. Hal yang membanggakan adalah anak didiknya memenangkan Gold Award dibidang Inovasi Pembelajaan Kreatif bidang Fisika.
Dari pengamatanku, Kak Gia memang Guru Panutan #zamannow, bagaimana tidak?
Cara beliau mengapresiasi siswa, bahan ajar yang menarik sehingga Fisika tidak terlihat seram, Feedback yang membangun untuk anak didiknya, dan lainnya dibidang yang sedang beliau tekuni menjadi seorang Guru sekaligus wakil kepala sekolah. Tentunya, menjadi seorang guru tidaklah mudah karena mereka berusaha semaksimal mungkin untuk memahami murid-muridnya disamping menyigapkan diri menyiapkan materi pembelajaran. Ini keren banget, disamping bimbingan dan support Kak Gia sebagai guru pembimbing, semangat yang anak-anak tunjukan saat bertemu denganku, semakin meyakinkan bahwa energi yang disebarkan Kak Gia kepada mereka sungguh positif.
Berkesempatan untuk #NongkrongBerfaedah dengan
Kak Gia karena sudah lama tidak berjumpa, tetapi kali ini juga bukan
hanya anak didik beliau yang belajar dari pengalamanku tetapi juga aku
yang sangat terkesan dengan betapa kritisnya dibandingkan dengan aku
saat seumuran mereka. Zaman memang berbeda dan aku pun senang bisa belajar dan menebar manfaat lebih luas lagi kepada orang lain walaupun banyak yang mengelukan kami "berbeda".
Sharing bukanlah hal yang mudah bagiku apalagi dalam konteks kami menyakini ajaran agama yang berbeda sehingga mesti sangat hati-hati dalam memilih pesan yang ingin disampaikan, memilah kata, memahami nilai toleransi values masing-masing, dan gaya penyampaian, tetapi akan terus kulatih sehingga bisa memberikan manfaat bagi orang lain disekitar. Karena aku sangat yakin, bahwa ilmu akan menjadi berharga jika bermanfaat bagi lingkungan kita.
Senang rasanya tetap menjaga hubungan baik ini, mudah-mudahan kita bisa berjumpa lagi dilain kesempatan. Teruslah berprestasi dan meraih impian!
Kesukaan terhadap buku membawaku menjadi bagian dari tim BiBiT Project, karena mengisi waktu luang sungguh menyenangkan jika bisa berbagi, bersenang-senang, dan juga menebarkan energi positif kepada anak-anak.
BiBiT Project adalah pilot project untuk menumbuhkan minat baca anak-anak di sekitar wilayah Karangasem. Project perpustakaan keliling khususnya ditunjukkan untuk beberapa sekolah yang memiliki keterbatasan akses terhadap buku dan juga fasilitas sekolah.
Minggu lalu kami mengunjungi dua sekolah. Kegiatan kami secara umum adalah menyediakan buku bacaan untuk anak-anak. Selain memberikan kesempatan anak-anak untuk membaca buku-buku yang kami sediakan, kami juga mencoba menumbuhkan suasana membaca yang menyenangkan, bercerita bersama, bermain dan memotivasi anak-anak untuk bersemangat menempuh pendidikan untuk masa depan yang lebih baik walaupun dengan fasilitas yang terbatas.

He said consistency is a change and just accept. The biggest thing who completely attracted me and hit my head is he used to be a Monk then decided to do something to share invaluable meaning of life. Yeahh a journey to be a Monk, experienced a Monk Life. What a cool experiences to be shared afterwards.
Jay aims to share knowledge something he likes to call “making wisdom go viral”.
From the story of Jay Shetty, he was born and raised in London, Jay was a shy, introverted young boy who always strived to make a positive difference. As a child he was bullied for being overweight and a little nerdy but he never let these experiences affect him. Like any teenager, Jay spent most of those years experimenting with what the world had to offer. Tired of being simply “good,”.
You can’t be what you can’t see
After meeting a monk when he was 18, Jay started redefining success for himself. He now wanted a life of service, impact and passion as opposed to money, fame and power. After graduating with a 1st class BSc (Hons) Degree in Behavioral Science from Cass Business School, inspired to make a difference in the world, at 22 he went to live as a monk across India and Europe. He traded his suits for robes, shaved his head and lived out of a gym locker for 3 years.
Waking up at 4am, taking cold showers and eating simply was a daily routine
Jay meditated for 4-8 hours a day and experimented with various no water and food fasts to train the mind. Often practicing meditation in extreme environments (hot and cold), he learnt ancient practices of breath and mind control. He studied the timeless philosophies and sciences of the east in great depth, focusing on seeing connections and messages for the modern world. Half the day was spent on personal growth and the other on help others. This included everything from personal and collective meditation, study and reflection to teaching and philanthropy. For 3 years, Jay helped build sustainable villages, food programs distributing over 1 million meals per day and coached millennials across the world about consciousness, wellbeing and success.
Moving on from monk life
Jay moved back in with his parents in London with no money to his name. Having committed career suicide he spent 9 months just updating himself on the world. Jay’s friends from business school began inviting him to speak at their companies as they were undergoing high amounts of pressure and stress.
Jay began sharing
Insights on productivity and how what he had learnt as a monk could be applied to the workplace. Noticing the world was going Digital, Jay simultaneously went on to become Accenture's Social Media coach for executives online branding and digital strategy.

Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.
What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful? Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.
And bingooo!!!! Here are 12 Rules for Life
Stand up straight with your shoulders straight
Most lobsters are complete bastards left to their own devices. Most humans are complete bastards left to their own devices. This proves there is a God who wants us to have Order. Order is Masculine and Chaos is Feminine. Therefore to move towards Order, we all need to man up. Happiness is pointless. We are all on this Earth to suffer. So learn to suffer like a man. Not everyone can be as rich and successful as me, but try to be less of a failure than you already are.
Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping
The story of the Garden of Eden shows that we are all touched with Original Sin But you have a choice. You can either seek Heaven or be dragged down into Hell. Yes, you have a shameful, sinful nature but for God’s sake just make a bit of an effort. Stop waiting for other people to dig you out of your pitiful hole.
Befriend people who want the best for you
We are all Being. Just some of us are better Beings. Learn to tell the difference. Some people are beyond help. They are merely exploiting the willingness of good people to help them and, as Dostoyevsky rightly observes, will drag you down to their level. So stick with the winners. If people are determined to screw up, let them. They are nothing to do with the Divine Purpose.
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not the useless person you are today
Face it, you’re never going to be that smart, so don’t compare yourself to someone who is. Start by getting on your knees to pray. Even if you don’t Believe in God. Atheists are merely people who are blinded to the true way of Being. There, you feel marginally less useless already.
Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them
Remember that children are born with Original Sin and have a huge capacity for Evil. They are not Innocent Beings. They need Discipline if they are going to grow up to be even vaguely worthwhile humans. And slap them if necessary – don’t listen to what the lefties say.
Set your house in order before you criticise the world
Remember the story of Cain and Abel? Well, read it then. Yes, Abel was a schmuck who deserved to die and Cain wasn’t quite as goddamn perfect as he thought he was. He deserved to die, too. We all deserve to die. So stop moaning if someone is richer and better looking than you.
Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient
Life is suffering. The Book of Genesis tells us that. There is no easy way round this. So quit looking for short cuts and start reading Nietzsche.
Tell the truth. Or at least don’t lie
To be honest, I’m scrabbling around for thingsbut my publishers tell me I need 12. By telling you the Truth about this, I am an Improved Being. Certainly better than you.
Assume the person you are listening to knows something you don’t
Just shut up, quit moaning and listen to me. I know things you don’t. So don’t expect me to listen to you. That’s not the way things work. I’m here to make you feel Better about Yourself by telling you things you already know in a way that makes you feel clever.
Be precise in your speech
Confront the chaos of Being. Don’t try to beat about the bush. Things are going to be terrible. Oedipus killed his Dad. You may well kill yours. Get over it. Face up to the real horrors of the world.
Do not bother children while they are skateboarding
This is the rule that’s the real catnip for right-wingers everywhere. Want to know why the world is falling apart? It’s because liberals are turning boys into girlies with their namby-pamby ways. Let boys do boy things and girls do girl things. Nowhere in the Bible does God say anything about this trans nonsense. There’s nothing wrong with men having all the best jobs and women staying home to look after the kids. So back off, ladies, and give us men a break.
Pet a cat when you encounter one in the street
OK. So I really am scraping the barrel now. We’re all going to die. Probably painfully. So just make the best of what you’ve got. If you see a cat, stroke it. You might feel better. Though probably not. And if there are no cats, pet something else. Like a dog.
