Mimpi

Dulu waktu baru lulus, gue sama Bunjay sering diskusi utk urusan kantor dan karena kita-kita ini masih anak kemarin sore tidak bisa berbuat banyak melihat kebijakan yg tidak sesuai utk diterapkan di lapangan, yg kita lakukan saat itu hanya bisa menulis telaah staf. Telaah staf itu jatuhnya bisa di meja pimpinan ato masuk ke tong sampah.... tapi kita punya prinsip :

"yg penting sudah disuarakan...biar sejarah yg membuktikan...ojo sampe ngimpi wae diajarin..."

Kebetulan gue mampir ke blognya pak Budi Rahardjo , beliau menulis tentang mimpi - kutipannya sebagai berikut :

We should dream some more ...

I dream too much. That's one of the comments I heard from many people. By dream I mean imaginating new postive ideas, ventures, activities, and so on. I always believe that dreams are important. They drive and motivate you.

I was reading Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat," and strucked the following paragraph:

Analysts have always tended to measure a society by classical economic and social statistics: its deficit-to-GDP ratio, or its unemployment rate, or the rate of literacy among its adult women. Such statistics are important and revealing. But there is another statistic, much harder to measure, that I think is even more important and revealing: Does your socienty have more memories than dreams or more dreams than memories?

By dreams I mean the positive, life-affirming variety. The business organization consultant Michael Hammer once remarked, "One thing that tells me a company is in trouble is when they tell me how good they were in the past. Same with countries. You don't want to forget your identity. I am glad you were great in the fourteenth century, but that was then and this is now. When memories exceed dreams, the end is near. The hallmark of a truly successful organization is the willingness to abandon what made it successful and start fresh."

So, let's keep on dreaming ... and more importanly, make them come true.

Mimpi kalo dirumuskan akan menjadi suatu visi dan dari visi akan dijabarkan lagi menjadi misi yang pada akhirnya Mimpi kita itu akan bisa diwujudkan .... tentunya dengan usaha.... Jer Basuki Mawa Bea......
