Let's Talk About Indonesia!

I am a girl living in a small town, small country. 

Well, actually. My country's one of the biggest country if you see it from the population aspect (Indonesia, number 4th after China, India and United States).

But if you try to see it from every other angle and aspect, you'll get the impression that our country's really struggling with basically everything. Every aspect of our life.

Well, let me just be honest with you now. 

I love my country very very much. We've got so many brilliant people here. (read this story from our Canada friend)

The problem is, there are so many bad people too, and these bad peoples are the one that we need to get rid of, if we want to make it to one of the greatest country in the world. 

If we really wants to compete with such mighty and powerful country like United States. 

It is not impossible, of course. Considering that we've got more than enough resources. (gold, silver, gas, oil, forest, you name it. We got it all.)

The only problem that we've got now is the mentality of the people living here. 

Laziness and lack of caring is basically the characteristic of our people. We tend to not caring about our environment, other people's misery, etc. Well, basically, we are no longer care about things that has relevance to our own country, except if that thing could influence ourself.

Other than that?

We don't care.

And this - this mentality thing - is the basic thing that we have to build from now on, if we really wants to make Indonesia to be a country that is not falling behind. 

Disciplines, dedicated, strong, always think positive thinking, are the traits of successful people. 

Unfortunately, not everyone understand the very important purpose of adopting these positive characteristics. 

I have a big, big dreams toward Indonesia. 

I wanna make people in Indonesia to be more active, brave, open-minded and of course, diligent. 

If the people in Indonesia are realizing that each one of them has the power to make changes, that if every single one of them is very essential to our transformation to the better future, I am a hundred percent sure that Indonesia will be a very successful country, compared to every other country in the world. 

Because we've got plenty of resources.

We've got nice people with nice religion.

And we've got so many nice, basic, rules that will make such harmony in our life.

The characteristic that we need to get rid of in order to build up Indonesia to be one of the best country in the worlds are :

- Laziness

- Careless

- Passive

- Coward

Yes, basically all of that negative traits. 

That makes Indonesia's broke in every kind of aspects. 

Corruption. Hell corruption is everywhere here in Indonesia.

Criminality. There are so much unemployed person and homeless guy that are not willing to work harder, making them having such bad attitudes and then stealing, robbing, and so on.

backwardness. Somehow, we don't really care about education here in Indonesia. Sure, sure. we've got that 9 years study obligation rules. But the education system's not working good.

The student here tend to chasing around the grades, and not the knowledge. 

This makes them willing to anything in order to get good grade, including cheating. 

And yes, that leads to corruption when the student's a little bigger and be a grown up. 

This is such a wrong personality and we need to fixed it as soon as possible, if we really want to make Indonesia better.

I have a fantasy that if somehow, Indonesia could adopt the education system in South Korea, Japan, Finland, etc, and taking the very positive side of each system, and then bundle it as one new system.

I am a hundred percent sure that our education system will be far more better and will cause the new generation to be one of the best generations in the world.
