~ PELAJARAN DARI FILM ANIMASI "RATATOUILLE" ~

Saturday, July 12, 2014 Add Comment

Ratatouille...
Baru-baru ini saya menonton lagi film animasi yang menginspirasi dan memotivasi. Walaupun sudah sering menonton film animasi ini, namun tetap tidak membosankan. Film ini diluncurkan pada tahun 2007, berjudul Ratatouille. Film animasi yang berhubungan dengan masak memasak. Ratatouille adalah sebuah makanan khas dari perancis.

Dalam ceritanya mengisahkan antara seekor tikus bernama Remy yang memiliki keahlian yang unik dari tikus-tikus lainnya yaitu mampu membedakan makanan yang layak untuk dimakan dan mana yang tidak, selain itu dia juga bisa memasak. Dia tinggal dengan koloninya di atap sebuah rumah. Saat pemilik rumah menonton acara memasak, Remy pun ikut serta menontonnya. Acara memasak yang dipandu oleh chef Gusteau, seorang masterchef kenamaan di Paris. Pada suatu ketika Remy ingin mengambil bahan makanan, sang pemilik rumah pun melihat keberadaan Remy, dan mengakibatkan dia harus kabur meninggalkan keluarganya. Remy terdampar di sebuah kota besar di Perancis tepat di sebuah restoran ternama Gustaeu yaitu restoran ternama Chef Gustaeu.
Restoran ini pada awalnya adalah restoran terkenal dan terfavorit, sampai pada suatu ketika,  seorang pengamat makanan, Anton Ego yang memuat resume tentang masakan yang disajikan Gusteau dengan memberikankritikan negatif. Tak lama setelah itu Gustae meninggal, dan reputasi restoran pun mengalami kemunduran.

Pada restoran inilah Remy mulai menerapkan keahliannya melalui Linguni seorang petugas kebersihan restoran, yang sebenarnya adalah sang pewaris restoran yang ditutupi kebenarannya oleh pemimpin restoran yang baru. Persahabatan Remy dan Linguini memberikan kesuksesan yang positif dimana Remy mampu mengembangkan keahliannya melalui Linguini. Remy mengendalikan Linguni seperti sebuah robot dengan mengerakkan rambut Linguini. Berkat kerja keras dan pembelajaran Remy maka Linguini pun menjadi chef hebat yang mampu membuat Rotatouille lezat hingga Anton Ego sang pengamat masakan pun teringat masakan ibunya saat dia kecil. Sejak saat itu, berkat masakan Remy melalui Linguini mampu menghidupkan restoran Gustaeu kembali. Banyak pelanggan yang mengorder Ratatouille. 

Dalam ceritanya sang pemimpin restoran tidak terima akan keahlian Linguini, dan pada suatu ketika saat Remy dan koloni tikus ketahuan mencuri persediaan makanan restoran, hingga remy dan Linguini pun terpisah. Pemerintah menutup restoran yang dipenuhi tikus-tikus ini karena alasan kesehatan.

Hal ini tidak berlangsung lama karena persahabatan yang sangat erat antara Remy dan Linguini yang pada akhirnya mereka bersatu kembali. Anton Ego memiliki rencana lain mendirikan restoran baru yang dikelola oleh Linguini dan Remy serta tikus sebagai ikonnya. Di sana dibangun restoran yang dibagi antara restoran untuk manusia dan restoran untuk tikus.

Sebagian kita hanya melihat film ini hanya sekedar hiburan yang tidak mungkin ada di dunia nyata. Namun dari film animasi ini banyak pelajaran positif yang bisa kita ambil terutama dari sikap dan pandangan si tikus Remy. Bukan berarti kita menempatkan diri kita sama dengan tikus namun makna dari tindakan dan pemikiran aktor animasi ini yang dapat kita jadikan contoh. Diantaranya adalah keberanian, kerjasama, dan percaya diri.

Keberanian Remy untuk mewujudkan impiannya menjadi koki hebat. Remy hanya seekor tikus namun memiliki ambisi besar untuk mengembangkan keahliannya menjadi koki ternama. Walaupun dia terpisah dari orangtuanya, walaupun kondisinya sebagai binatang yang menjijikkan namun dia tetap berani membuktikan dan mengembangkan keahliannya. Jadi apapun kondisi kita, dari manapun kita berasal, seperti apapun penampilan kita, dan apapun latar belakang kita, namun kita pasti memiliki keahlian yang tidak terduga yang dapat kita kembangkan. Dan hanya keberanianlah yang dapat merealisasikannya.

Selain itu dalam sebuah team, apapun kondisi yang kita hadapi, baik kekurangan atau pun kelebihan yang kita temui, dengan kerja sama yang baik, pemikiran yang positif, maka kekurangan kita akan ditutupi oleh kelebihan team kita dan kelebihan kita akan menutupi kekurangan team kita. Sehingga semuanya berjalan dengan lancar sesuai yang diharapkan.

Dan pelajaran berikutnya adalah jangan takut akan kondisi, keadaan, penampilan dan sikap kita yang mungkin orang lain tidak akan menyukainya. Namun kita harus berani dan tetap percaya diri serta yakin bahwa kita punya kelebihan, kita mampu melakukannya dan kita mampu melakukan apa yang mereka tidak mampu lakukan.

Satu hal yang paling penting adalah, Remy memiliki impian dengan tujuan yang pasti dan jelas yaitu menjadi koki terhebat. Apapun rintangan dan halangan yang terjadi, dihadapi oleh Remy dengan keberanian, percaya diri dan positif. Tidak ada yang berhak membatasi kemampuan kita (kecuali Tuhan berkehendak lain), hanya jiwa kitalah yang terbatas untuk mengembangkan kemampuan kita.

ALWAYS GRATEFUL

Please watch this video first. This is so amazing and give us motivation about never give up about struggling of life. Please click here for watch a movie.

Maybe we don't know about him. His name is James Zubicic who doesn't have arms and legs since he was born. This condition is out of his ability, if he can choice he will not be here, but it cannot be changed because it has been since he was born. When he was kid he thought that he wanted to have arms and legs. He just focused and worry on his disabled condition, he thought that he cannot do anything. All people laughed him and see him like a monster. He wanted playing football like other boy. He felt depression and sometime want to end his life. He thought that he never marry with a girl and he never gets job because of his condition. Finally, he realised that he shouldn't think like that, he should move on and get up. And, he can prove it. Now he has job as motivator. He lives with his beautiful wife and his cute son. His principles for this all always have feeling grateful to his God.


He never gives up to learn how to stand up again if he falls to the ground because he didn't know how to stand up without arm and leg. He tries..and try.. again and again without give up. He got 100 fails to stand after fall to the ground, then he tried again until he can do it. It is the same with our life, when we are in good condition and we are in comfort zone, we never think that we will fall to bad condition. Sometime we don't get ready to that. Then, when we fall to bad condition we don't know how to stand up again, we do not know how to stand up from adversity. But he shows that he can stand after fail for 100 times. It means if we can do like him that we can stand up from adversity after we try to not give up and make it be good.


When he wants to move to get something he should walk with his small leg, but it needs a long time because of short step moving. Then, he thought how to get long step moving. And, he did jump with right action. Although James Zubicic are disabled person, but his mind and his heart are not disabled. He knows his ability. He always feel happy and think that his life is like journey and beautiful. The most important is always say thank to God.

We can take positive about his life. Now see ourselves. We should always say thanks to God, that we have perfect limbs. We can playing football, we can write, we can take  things and we can run. We have good physic. We should can do more than him. When we fall down and we feel depression and we should know how to stand up and not give up, we shouldn’t think to regret about our life, but we should grateful to God for every condition we are. We know that Allah SWT promises, if we always grateful to Him, we will get more fortune than now. Yea, that is true. Every we say thank to God, we feel satisfied, we feel better and sometime we feel easy to face our life. When we want to solve our problem or pursuit our dream, we will focus on it and try the way to get it without give up. And, we realize that we have potential and we have ability to do it. We should focus on our ability and not care about underestimate of other about us. We can do more than them and even make them shock about what we can do. Sometime we think it is impossible, when we believe that will happen, it will be possible.


Life is not always good and happy, we will face sadness, depress, so what should we do? Does we focus and cry on it? Or will we try to escape from it with good solution. That our choice because we run it. If we want to get good in life so we will try to think how to escape from bad condition, we shouldn't quite and cry about it without doing anything. We must move on and think positively to get  good then. We are great person that God create and we should thank for that. And, we realize as a great person will think great about our life now and future.



So, the most important in our life is grateful about what we have and what we get. This can change our mind to think better, do better and get better things.

WE START THEN FINISH IT!!!!

Saturday, June 14, 2014 Add Comment



We live in this earth in the short time, we don't know how many times we can do more in life. God gives us everything that we need and God knows what is the best for us. We have more colourful life such as happiness, sadness, success, goodness, badness, etc. 
Nobody lives without having problems and get risk in their life. When we start to do something, so we should finish it, although we will get more problems and risk. It is our power and our great soul we have. All people around us are the nature teachers are teach us about life. They do bad or good we can learn from them to take positive for life. And, think that our life is a great struggle and we will get great result.

If we look back, we know that Derek Redmond was a British athlete who recorded for 400 metres sprint and won gold medals in the 4x400 metres at the World Championships, European Championship and Commonwealth Games. He was so great athlete for sprint, but one thing that we can learn from him is his spirit when he got accident.

In 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, he followed the 400 metres sprint. This Olympic was his challenge to win after he won gold medals before. In the semifinal Derek Redmond started well, but in the back straight about 250 metres from the finish, he got an accident that he tore his hamstring, he felt really pain and fell the ground. Most people in the olympic thought that he would stop it. He realises his olympic dream was over. He cried out and say “There's no way, I am getting on that stretcher. I am going to finish my stretcher.” With the pain he began to hobble along the track. People at the race tried to stop him, but he didn't care, he still continued it. Suddenly, a man comes from the top and fight back security that stopped him to enter the race. And, a man said “That's my son out there”. He was Jim Redmond.

He said to Derek Redmond, “I am here son, you don't have to do this.” Then Derek Redmond cried and said to his dad “Yes I do”. Without thinking anymore, his dad said “Well then, we will finish this together”. Jim and Derek completed the lap of the track together with Derek leaning on his dad's shoulder for support. Although he didn't get medal in this olympic, but he finished his race with his father beside him and 65.000 spectators rose to give Derek a standing ovation.

This is great motivation that we can catch from him. He didn't give up for his dream to finish his race competition in olympic. Although he got an accident and will get more risk if he continued it, he has decided to start it and do his commitment to finish it. This teach us that if we start to do something and we should finish it. Although we get more risk and challenge to finish it. Maybe more people will try to stop us, or environment doesn't support us or ourselves doesn't support to do our dream, but we still have passion, spirit and ambition that never die and never give up with bless of God.

We have strong feeling and believe that we can do our passion and our dream with bless of God. When we get problems we should think positively to not give up, we should think that is a good information and good teacher for us to do next level on the way to pursuit our dream, even God give us someone or environment that will support us to get it.

"Our beliefs become our thoughts
Our thoughts become our words
Our words become our actions
When we think that something is impossible, shift our thoughts.
So Impossible mean I’m possible."

THE LESSON FROM MOVIE "THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS"

Saturday, May 31, 2014 3 Comments

When I cleaned my room, I found my dvd movie collections there. I found my favorite movie, The Pursuit of Happyness. I have watched this movie more than 10 times and never feel boring. I can tell this movie is an extraordinary movie and more lesson that I can get from it. This movie is true story about stockbroker in America, Chris Gardner. This movie was first released in 2006. It tells the story about Chris Gardner life from people who don't have anything and become the richest as Gardner Rich LLC CEO. The movie tells how the struggles, ups and downs of his life to become the richest man in America.

Start with a man who works as salesman who sells portable bone-density scanners which he demonstrates to doctors and pitches as a handy quantum leap over standard X-rays. He doesn't have fixed salary. He lives with his wife and his son, then one day they have financial problems. His wife leaves him because she can't leave in poor condition. Gardner Rich has passion and believe that he can give happiness to his son. He is willing to queue for long hours in social apartment to get adequate housing for his son, even he is willing to sleep in toilet for his lovely son.

One day he meets a man who drives a red farrari car, he searches place for parking his car. Gardner asked two questions while offering the parking place, “What do you do and How do you do?”. And, a man answer that he is a stockbroker and his salary is $80.000 in a month. This statement makes Gardner change his mind and his motivation. He shocks and curious, then he decides to apply to be stockbroker participant. Unfortunately, he failed because that man was fired, and even Gardner has left his old job as salesman.


Gardner never gives up, he tries to apply for other company to Dean Witter Reynolds. He still needs more effort and with low salary, but he always has high motivation. Finally, he gets certificate and join with Bear, Stearns&Company.  After he is being a high stockbroker level, he is getting resign and build a company, Gardner Rich&Company, Inc. The low condition, poor condition can change his life, he is able to rise and get great life.
This movie is so touching heart and more inspiration that can give encourage to our soul. It is ashame if we pass it. There is a unique thing from this movie, the wrong spelling of the tittle “Happyness”, it should be written as “Happiness”. We don't know the reason that why they make it wrong spell. Happiness mean life with happy and wealth, and to reach it will face more risk and obstacles, and it is not easy to reach and it is not easy as expected. But we have to do efforts, prayer and believe that what we have done will be as expected.

In one of scenes from this movie, Gardner tells to his son that “You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period".

This movie learns to struggle in life and prayer to pursuit our dream, then rare we will face smooth way to get it. The patient, belief, and positive thinking is so important. The shortages and poverty is not an obstacle even something evoke the spirit and change our mindset about life. A strong desire force us to get out from uncomfortable zone to comfortable zone. The great man can be inspired us to afford to live. Assuming that he is a human and we are human as well, they can through their hard life and be great human, then we can through hard life and be great human as well in our specific field.

The education is a key to through this life, education is not only in school or formal education, also informal education that we can get from our experience or other experience and from what we have seen in this world. “Become Life-Long Learner”.


The struggle in life has more risks and we have to be brave to face and bear the risks about what we choose, do everything to be honest and thorough and patient in life. We always try to positive think and confidence what we will do and enjoy life with open heart and sincere. Passion, spirit and motivation can make we believe that we are capable through life in pursuit our dream. The success is in our mind, action and heart. If we are able to make it balance, then success will be close to us.

PELAJARAN DARI FILM "THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS"

Sunday, May 18, 2014 Add Comment

Saat saya beberes koleksi movie di rumah, tiba-tiba saya menemukan movie favorit saya yang dulu sering saya putar ulang hingga 10 kali. Movie ini sangat luar biasa dan kisah nyata dari seorang pialang saham di Amerika. Anda tentu pernah dengar movie ini sebelumnya, pertama kali di rilis pada tahun 2006, "The Pursuit of Happyness" atau mengejar impian. Movie ini menceritakan perjuangan hidup Chris Gardner seorang pialang saham terkenal di Amerika dengan jabatan resminya CEO Gardner Rich LLC. Film ini menceritakan bagaimana perjuangan dan jatuh bangun hidupnya hingga menjadi orang terkaya di Amerika.

Berawal dari seorang pria yang bekerja menjual alat kesehatan yang tidak memiliki penghasilan tetap. Dan dia memiliki seorang istri dan seorang anak laki-laki. Hingga suatu saat, kendala ekonomi menyebabkan dia hanya hidup berdua dengan sang anak karena istri yang tidak sanggup hidup dengan kemiskinan. Namun dengan keyakinan dan perjuangan keras Gardner Rich dan untuk membahagiakan sang anak, dia rela antri berjam-jam di tempat perlindungan sosial demi mendapatkan tempat tinggal yang layak untuk anaknya, bahkan dia tidur di WC demi sang anak.

Sampai pada suatu saat Gardner bertemu dengan seseorang yang mengendarai
mobil Ferrari berwarna merah yang sedang mencari tempat parkir. Dan Gardner mengajukan dua pertanyaan kepada pria tersebut seraya menawarkan tempat untuk memarkirkan mobil. Pertanyaan Gardner yang mengubah pemikiran dan semangatnya, yaitu "Apa pekerjaan mu? Dan bagaimana kamu melakukannya?" Dan pria tersebut menjawab bahwa dia adalah seorang penjual saham dan penghasilannya adalah $80.000/bulan. Hal ini tentu membuat Gardner kaget dan penasaran, sehingga mengetuk pintunya untuk mendaftarkan diri sebagai peserta pelatihan penjual saham. Namun dia mengalami kegagalan, karena pria tersebut dipecat sedangkan Gardner sudah meninggalkan pekerjaan lamanya sebagai penjual alat kesehatan. Di saat inilah sang istri meninggalkannya. 

Gardner tidak menyerah, dia mencoba mendaftarkan diri di Dean Witter Reynolds, dengan upah yang kecil, namun semangat yang tinggi. Akhirnya memperoleh sertifikat dan bergabung dengan Bear, Stearns & Company. Hingga menjadi seorang penjual saham tertinggi dan setelah keluar dari perusahaan tersebut, Gardner mendirikan perusahaan Gardner Rich & Company, Inc. Kemiskinan inilah yang membuat dia mampu bangkit.

Movie ini sangat menyentuh dan penuh inspirasi yang memberikan semangat bagi kita. Sangat sayang sekali jika melewati movie satu ini. Ada keunikan dari movie ini, yaitu judul yang salah eja "Happyness" seharusnya "Happiness". Entah kenapa ada kesalahan ejaan dalam penulisan judul movie tersebut, mungkin ada makna dibaliknya. Happiness yang berarti kesenangan, dan untuk mencapai kesenangan tersebut pasti terdapat kekurangan dan kesalahan yang terlalui, tidak semudah apa yang kita harapkan. Namun kewajiban kita adalah untuk berusaha, berdoa dan yakin akan apa yang akan kita kerjakan demi memperoleh apa yang kita butuh dan harapkan.  

Dalam salah satu cuplikan movie ini, Gardner menyampaikan pesan kepada anaknya yang berbunyi "You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can’t do it. You want something? Go get it. Period" (Kamu punya mimpi dan menjaga mimpimu. Orang lain yang tidak dapat mewujudkan mimpinya dan berusaha mengatakan kepadamu bahwa kamu pun tidak dapat melakukannya. Jika kamu memiliki mimpi maka kejarlah mimpimu itu!!"
Movie ini mengajarkan kita untuk berjuang dan berdoa meraih impian serta jarang ada jalan yang mulus untuk meraihnya. Kesabaran dan keyakinan serta pikiran positif sangat dibutuhkan. Kekurangan dan kemiskinan bukanlah suatu halangan bahkan sesuatu hal yang membangkitkan semangat dan mengubah pola pikir kita tentang hidup. Keinginan yang kuat untuk keluar dari zona tidak nyaman menuju zona nyaman. Orang hebat dapat menjadi inspirasi kita untuk mampu menjalani hidup. Dengan beranggapan bahwa mereka juga manusia dan kita juga manusia, mereka mampu melewati hidup dan menjadi orang hebat, sehingga kita pun mampu melewati hidup dan menjadi orang hebat dibidang kita masing-masing. 

Pendidikan juga kunci utama dalam melalui kehidupan ini, pendidikan bukan hanya di sekolah namun juga pendidikan informal yang dapat kita temui dari pengalaman diri dan orang lain serta pendidikan dari apa yang kita lihat. "Menjadi pelajar seumur hidup." 

Perjuangan hidup yang penuh resiko dan kita harus berani menangung resiko atas apa yang sudah kita pilih, melakukan segala sesuatu hingga tuntas dan berlaku jujur serta sabar dalam menjalani kehidupan. Selalu berpikir positif dan percaya diri akan apa yang dilakukan serta menikmati kehidupan dengan hati yang lapang dan ikhlas. Semangat dan motivasi yang memberikan keyakinan bahwa kita mampu melalui kehidupan demi mengejar apa yang kita impikan. Kesuksesan ada dalam pikiran, tindakan dan keyakinan kita. Jika kita mampu mengimbanginya, maka kesuksesan semakin dekat dengan kita.
