Torch Today

So that what I have felt being teacher. Teacher is not a miracle device that can turn on the intelligence of students. Teacher is not a decision maker for creating bright students. Teacher is just a bridge, a portal to the knowledge. The bait (knowledge transferred) depends on the interesting of the fish (students) to take it. You can not put all the burden of education on the shoulder of teachers. Transferring doesn’t mean producing. The teacher just shapes, guides and monitors. Teaching (offering bait) is a part of process.

Considering to the low quality of our education today, we just can’t discuss it in any seminars or workshops, but, the most important of all, solve the problems. The challenge of globalization requires us to take real actions directly to the improvement of educational quality, though the condition of our economy is not conducive.

Tidak ada seorang pun yang menyangka bahwa The Bridges of Madison Country karya Rober Waller akan mudah laku keras dan menjadi karya best-seller. Ceritanya terlalu singkat; penulisnya, seorang mantan professor bidang manajemen, tidak terkenal; alur ceritanya, sangat basi. Namun novel yang mengisahkan empat hari yang romantis pada musim panas antara Robert Kincaid, fotografer yang sedang berkeliling dunia, dan Francesca Johnson, seorang ibu rumah tangga dari Midwestern, dengan cepat naik pada posisi rating teratas.

Life and death are two natural moments happening to all creatures. Each creature will have a time to enjoy life, as he will have a time to feel death.
Why there are life and death? It is fundamental question, and the answer of it decides one’s meaning of life as well of death. The uncertainly answer to that question above reflects the uncertainly life, even also the meaningless death.
Allah The Holiest makes those things as a device to test anyone of us who has the best deeds. (67:2) “That He may try which of you is best in deed”. In that verse, why doesn’t it say “those who have great deeds (aktsaru a’mala)”, but it says “those who have best deeds (ahsanul a’mala”)?

“Independent is essential for students to have so that in behaving and doing responsibility, they stand on their own foot”

The biggest mistake for us in life is that we are afraid of making mistake”, uttered John Maxwell, an education practitioner. One of the efforts to create qualified human resource is through education.
School, as formal educational institution, has a significant role in realizing the vision of education through learning process. One of the results of the process is bearing independency. 

Some say, “Everyone can be Einstein”. It means that Einstein is just ordinary person. You don’t need to have bigger brain to be him. Even you may say that his capability was a gift and he was one of million years-person-born, but in the process, what he ever created is possible for us to innovate, renew, or just learn it.
