Challenged by Innovation


Hi!! Maybe it’s been a long time you don’t hear any update from us. Actually, there are so many things we have to do. So, I don’t have enough time to post this. I’m very sorry about the delay and I hope you enjoy our new update. Ok, now let’s start with August 30, 2012.

That was Thursday evening. We gathered on Microsoft Indonesia Office, our lovely place to meet amazing people. I was thinking that day would be our usual weekly meeting but my opinion was wrong as I heard what Mas Yustinus (he and Mbak Lisa are our mentor since Mas Resha moved) asked something to the receptionist. We were going to present in front of The Director of Genuine Software Initiative, Sudimin Mina.

Surprised and nervous. Yeah, we were going to present without any preparation. However, we were happy that finally we could meet him. He is very busy so it’s an honor for us that he gave his valuable time with us. Surely, we don’t want to disappoint him.

The meeting was begun. And based on what I see, he was challenging us (the kind of person that I never thinking before). He asked all of us to present in English. That was good idea for our preparation (it shows us his awareness). However, I found that it’s a little difficult to stay calm. What inside my head are he has a great position and I can’t speak English very fluently. I was afraid that I disappoint him.

He appreciated what we’ve been presented and he motivated us. Moreover, he gave his tips how to present in English and dared us to present creatively. After about 3 hours of meeting, we note a few points that we have to think again. And we didn’t forget also for taking pictures.


That day I got a lot of lesson. There are still a lot of amazing people out there. So, what all of us have to do are keep learning and never give up.

Ok. Deeply thanking for Pak Dimin and wishing you every success.
