Knowledge Management in My Life (part 1)

By: Indah Dewi Novrinta

Who am I actually? Don’t have to tell in a long story, I am a management student in Paramadina University. Flash back a year ago, I really wanted to have study International Relationship but by the time I changed my mind and chose Management. I want to be entrepreneur; I have to choose business school. There are many campus recommended such as BSM, IPM, PPM, IBS and Prasetya Mulya. But those business school fees are really expensive; my parents do not have enough money so that I can not continue study at business school. Finally I chose Paramadina University. I proud to be Paramadina student and I have learnt a lot from Paramadina.

I have a high and big passion active in organizations whether in internal or external campus. I join Young on Top Campus Ambassador, Indonesian Future Leaders, Marketing Club, HIMA Management and Indonesia Youth Conference Festival. I try so hard to reach my goals. The only one big barrier is my parent my parents never like if I active in organization. They just stick on academic or GPA. I don’t really matter with my GPA as long as not under the average. In my principle, the high GPA does not worth if we don’t have the organization experience. IP brings us to the job interview, but our organization experiences bring us to the real job. I have gain a lot of benefits from joining the organization, such as:
1. Make a lot of friends
2. Meet successes people
3. Wider my networking
4. Learning leadership
5. Learn how to be responsible people.

About share and receive. My English lecture, Mam Iin Mayasari, always gives us good articles in class every week. I get lots knowledge from those articles. She shares the articles to us and receives the additional knowledge from the students. Many students do research and write. Doing research and writing are actually learning and building up our knowledge. I don’t really like research but I like writing. I like writing and sharing info on facebook note, twitter account and my blog.

I follow success people like Dino Pati Djalal, Hermawan, Billy Boen, Yoris Sebastian, Silmy Karim, Muhammad Assad, Sandiaga Uno, Guinandra Lutfhan, Iman Usman and others. I can know the newest info about them. They always share their good quotes. I love to read their inspiring quotes. Yeah, learning is never ending. I shocked when hear that Lech Walesa have 30 honorary master from many best universities which is Ivy League, like Harvard. It is unbelievable. He never stopped to study. It motivated me to continue study till post graduate, even Ph.D. Amen.

The way we learning and studying is as important as what we learning and studying. One of the ways we learning are learning from mistakes. This sentence is popular “Learn from your own mistakes”. Learn from own mistake is important, but it is as important as learn from other people’s mistakes. How to learn from other people’s mistakes? First, notice other people and the occasion around you. Second, try maximal not to do the things which have negative affect. Do not ever feel cleverer than other people, be humble please. No matter who you are now, successful people, will be successful or not successful, humble is one of keys to success. Most successful people are arrogant. That is not good, because it can make people hate you.
