I know that the tutoring building where I am now used to be a house. I knew
this is because the study rooms in the form of rooms are blocked. The interior design is good so that the sound between classes does not interfere with other classes,
closed equipped with AC and fan.
I studied upstairs, different from Adi. Besides that Adi gets lunch classes. While I
take afternoon classes. Today's week, today's tutoring schedule is a giving of motivation, passion and advice-advice with an approach
Islam Religion. Mentors provide motivation by telling the experiment about
the monkey.
In a research conducted
*by professors in America, there are 2 monkeys put into one*empty room together. We call them Monkeys A and B.
In the room there is a pole, and on top of the pole .apparently some ripe bananas. What do you think the two monkeys will do ?
After familiarizing themselves with the state of the environment in the room, they began to try to reach for the bananas. Monkey A first tries to climb the pole. So
monkey A was in the middle of the pole, the professor sprayed water on him, so it slipped and fell. Monkey A tried again, and sprayed, falling again, so many times until finally monkey A gave up. Next turn
monkey B who tried, experienced a similar incident, and finally gave up anyway.
Next into the room was inserted monkey C. The interesting thing is, the professors will no longer
spray the monkeys if they ride. As soon as monkey C started touching the pole, he was immediately pulled by monkeys A and B. They try to prevent, so that C monkeys do not experience `kesial’ like them. Because it is kept and
given advice about the dangers when trying to climb up, monkey C finally scared too and never climb again.
The next step the professors took was to take out monkeys A and B, as well as insert monkeys D and E. Just like the previous monkeys, monkeys D and E are also attracted to bananas on a pole and try to climb it. C monkey spontaneously
it prevents both from going up. “Hai, why can't we ride ?” protest both” in monkey language of course. There are friends who tell me that going upstairs is dangerous. I also do not know, what is above, but better find it safe, do not go above deh” explained monkey C.
Monkey D believed and did not dare to go up, but not so with monkey E who is wayward. “I want to know, what kind of danger the hell, which is above .. And if there is danger, cook yes I can not avoid it ?” firmly monkey E. Although it has been prevented by monkeys C and D, E monkey desperate to rise.
And because it is no longer sprayed, monkey E can reach the banana he wants.
“ Sisters, Where are the characters
above that describes your current behavior ? Characters A and B are people who have done something, and failed. Therefore, they will not repeat it again, and try to teach others about the failure. They don't want others to fail like them. Characters C and D, are the ones who receive pointers from others, things
what not to do, and they obey it without daring to try it
by oneself. Character E is the type of person who does not easily believe in something, before they try it themselves. They also dare to oppose the flow and bear the risk as long as they can achieve their wishes.”
The banana in the story above describes our dreams. Everyone in this life
have high dreams about his future. But unfortunately, many
once things happen around us, that causes our dreams to get buried.
People with ABCD characters will tell us things like
here,”Already, do not do such a futile work. Free. I have done it many times and failed. As a good friend, I don't want you to fail like me.” Or maybe a word, or,
“You want to fail like X, better
do something sure-just deh”.
And the failures of others can be learned and used as a stepping stone to move better, rather than being made into a fear.
“Well, I'll give you one more illustration. I'll take you to the '70s. What would you do if one day there was a student
jeans, thick glasses, geeky look, shabby clothes, come to see you and say :“I have a good product, but I have no capital. Want not to guarantee me 100 dollars capital ? If this product is successful, we will both be the richest people in the world. Almost all will insult and laugh at the student, maybe even consider him crazy.”
“How many people will answer: “Wow, great, try to explain what your plan is, so that we can be equally rich ?”. Maybe one person in a million, maybe none. What if I told you that the student was Bill Gates, you know Bill Gates?
Wasn't that what Bill Gates did at the beginning of his career . Surrounded by ABCD type people, rejected, harassed, and various other insults.
Fortunately, Bill Gates is among the people with the character E. And with sacrifice and hard work, he managed to achieve his dream.
Guys, I'm sure you're a type E. At least because you want to read this article to learn together, share together, and progress and succeed together. Don't let anyone kill your dreams. Keep moving, face it
all obstacles and achieve your dreams.”
So the motivation of the mentor at length.
“Monkey.” My whisper in my heart. I looked to the right and to the left. Friends during this study guidance came from various regions
the Central Sumatra. There was Bayu from Bengkulu, Jamil and Ikhsan from Payakumbuh, there was Imam and his entourage from a pesantren in Padang
Sidimpuan. Next to me was a sweet black boy with glasses. He followed this tutoring along with two of his High School friends. Name's Rizqi. Now it just so happens that he sits next to me. They follow the tutoring not just in one
place of. But two tutoring institutions.
There are more expensive and elite tutoring from my place. Rizqi also studied there. During the study Rizqi was more silent and spoke only with her High School friends.
“Rizqi, Later SPMB in take what?” I asked him to talk.
“Medicine ..”
“Where's Qi?” Asking back.
“See first results Try Out” Answer.
I moved to nearby Ikhsan. I became more familiar with Ikhsan after seeing the results of our study a few times. My learning results are better. Ikhsan studied with me several times. Just like Mastur, he taught me the basic concepts of Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics. In response, Ikhsan drove me home to the boarding house on his bike.
“Ikhsan take what ?”
“Health Liel” The answer is more common.
“Where ?”
“Around Sumbar only. If it is too far away, fear difficult access home village.” The answer.
“If Liel” Tanyanya.
“Dad wants medicine. But first look at the results try out”
“Where ?”
“At a public University, Anywhere ..” Answer.
