18 Jam Kerja: Meneladani Dedikasi

Setahu saya, hanya segelintir orang yang mampu menjalani kerja 18 jam sehari dengan penuh disiplin. Dua nama besar yang sering disebut dalam hal ini adalah Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad dan Basuki Tjahaja Purnama—dua sosok dengan dedikasi luar biasa kepada tanggung jawab mereka.

Kali ini, saya mencoba meneladani cara mereka. Keluar rumah pukul 6.00 pagi, kembali pada 12.00 malam.Bukan perkara mudah, namun saya percaya, keberhasilan bukanlah hasil keberuntungan semata, melainkan buah dari usaha keras, komitmen, dan doa.

Semoga Allah memberkahi langkah-langkah kecil ini, dan semoga perjalanan ini membawa manfaat, bukan hanya bagi diri sendiri, tetapi juga untuk orang lain.
Setiap tetes keringat yang jatuh, saya jadikan pengingat bahwa hidup ini adalah perjuangan yang mesti disyukuri dan diisi dengan hal bermakna.

IS THERE STILL HOPE FOR TUPPERWARE?

Recently, Tupperware filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Many are wondering if this marks the end for a brand that has long been synonymous with high-quality food storage containers. The answer: not necessarily. Filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy doesn’t mean a company is shutting down. Instead, it allows the company to restructure its operations and business model, giving it a chance to recover and compete again in the market. To better understand, let’s look at three major companies that successfully emerged from this crisis. 1. General Motors (GM) In 2009, GM was on the verge of collapse. However, after a significant restructuring, they bounced back by introducing new car models, including the Chevy Volt, which transformed the electric vehicle landscape. Today, GM has returned as one of the largest car manufacturers in the world, with an annual revenue of $48 billion. 2. Marvel Entertainment Marvel nearly went bankrupt in 1996, but they soon began releasing films like X-Men and Spider-Ma...

Rupiah Redenomination: A Step Towards Efficiency or a New Challenge?

Rupiah Redenomination: A Step Towards Efficiency or a New Challenge? Bank Indonesia has once again raised the prospect of rupiah redenomination, a process of simplifying the currency’s numerical value without altering its real worth. For instance, Rp 1,000 would be redenominated as Rp 1. This initiative aims to enhance transaction efficiency and reduce the risk of miscalculations due to excessively large nominal figures. However, Bhima Yudhistira, Director of the Center of Economic and Law Studies (CELIOS), argues that this policy may not be suitable for immediate implementation. Economic stability, public readiness, and the psychological impact on the pricing of goods and services are critical factors that require careful consideration. Historical evidence suggests that while some countries have successfully implemented redenomination, others have encountered significant challenges, including psychological inflation and market uncertainty. Is Indonesia prepared to adopt this policy in...

From Ride-Hailing to Life Lessons

Between the end of last year and May 2025, I worked part-time as a ride-hailing driver. Every day, I navigated the streets of Tamalanrea—delivering food, collecting items, and occasionally transporting passengers. That route became a part of my daily rhythm; I memorized every turn, traffic light, and even which shops were busiest at certain hours. Being a ride-hailing driver is far more than just pick-up and drop-off. Each weekend, I planned strategically: activating the app earlier, targeting high-demand areas, and ensuring my motorcycle was in top condition. Through this, I learned invaluable lessons—about time management, customer service, and reading the pulse of the city. Yet, one incident still echoes in my mind. I had briefly stopped at a university canteen near Hasanuddin University when a student—or perhaps a lecturer assistant—remarked, "Kak, how long are you going to keep doing this? You should find a permanent job." I simply smiled. I was momentarily silent—not ou...
