Job Offer: Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone


Today, I received a job offer that significantly differs from what I am accustomed to—one based on a daily wage model, much like employment in the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sector. Admittedly, this is not a type of work I am familiar with, especially as it lies beyond the scope of my formal training and existing skill set.

Nevertheless, I firmly believe that every opportunity is not solely about earning a livelihood, but also a valuable avenue for acquiring knowledge and expanding one's experience. God willing, I intend to embrace this challenge with an open mind and a willingness to learn.

To me, the true value of a job does not rest merely in its financial compensation, but in the lessons and insights that one gains along the way.

QRIS vs Visa/MasterCard: Asserting Indonesia’s Sovereignty in the National Payment System

Image
Recently, Indonesia's national payment systems—QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) and GPN (Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional)—have come under renewed international scrutiny. The United States government openly criticized their existence in the 2025 National Trade Estimate (NTE) Report on Foreign Trade Barriers . The primary concern? These systems are perceived to be undermining the global dominance of international payment networks such as Visa and MasterCard. QRIS was officially implemented nationwide on January 1, 2020, as part of the broader vision outlined in Indonesia’s 2025 Payment System Blueprint. The objectives were clear: to build a digital transaction ecosystem that is inclusive, efficient, and secure—while simultaneously reinforcing the sovereignty of the national payment infrastructure. Recent data underscores QRIS’s effectiveness. As of the second quarter of 2024, QRIS transactions surged by 226.54% year-on-year. The system now boasts over 50 million...

Review of the Movie "Upstream" (Chinese): The Journey of a Fighter

The story follows a man who is forced to become an online motorcycle taxi (ojol) driver after losing his job due to a layoff and struggling to find new employment because of his age. This film provides a profound depiction of the daily struggles faced by ojol drivers, especially in delivering food and packages. With a blend of touching, humorous, and empowering moments, Upstream invites us to understand the immense challenges these individuals endure. Although I have lived in Malaysia and Indonesia and am not entirely sure how the lives of food delivery drivers here are, this film opened my eyes to the universal hardships of their work. The ojol drivers portrayed in this story are not people chasing wealth. They work tirelessly to meet basic needs, such as paying monthly house installments to avoid losing their homes. Come rain or shine, dealing with rude customers, or facing the risk of accidents—these ar...
