Life is a Learnt Skill


Prinsip saya dalam hidup adalah : semua hal merupakan sesuatu yang dapat dipelajari. Apapun itu, semua skill tersebut dapat dipelajari. Bahkan praktik kita sebagai dokter pun sangat-sangat bisa untuk dipelajari. Mempelajari teori di kampus dan praktik teori tersebut saat pendidikan profesi dokter di rumah sakit. Lalu dipraktikkan di tempat kerja. Hal itu sangat mungkin dan lambat laun, kita pasti bisa. Lambat laun kita bisa. Kembali ke semua hal dapat dipelajari, hal itu benar. Baik itu pelajaran sekolah, keahlian, attitude, bahkan common sense. Sedihnya, common sense merupakan hal yang semakin dan semakin langka seiring berjalannya waktu, entah kenapa, padahal hal tersebut adalah hal yang wajib tiap orang miliki. Menurut saya, common sense dan attitude sangat berhubungan, kedua hal tersebut tidak dapat dipisahkan. Common sense atau “akal sehat” yang baik dan benar akan menghasilkan attitude atau perilaku yang baik dan benar pula.

Kemampuan berpikir kritis adalah hal yang sangat-sangat penting hingga kapanpun. Dan berbicara mengenai skill, sekali kita bisa melakukannya, it will stays with us for the rest of our lives. PR kita tinggal memantapkannya saja, and again, practice makes perfect. Practice always makes perfect. Cepat atau lambat, kita akan ahli dalam melakukan apapun yang ingin kita lakukan. Kita hanya perlu berusaha.

Selama proses pengumpulan bahan tulisan ini saya mendapatkan banyak insights menarik mengenai hal tersebut. Bahwa orang-orang yang berpikir kritis adalah orang yang rasional, reflektif, berpikiran adil dan terbuka, mandiri dalam berpikir serta selalu mengamalkan prinsip konseptualisasi dalam menjalani kesehariannya. Konseptualisasi adalah keahlian membentuk “konsep” dari keseluruhan interaksi hariannya – baik interaksi dengan orang lain maupun dengan lingkungannya – sehingga memungkinkan orang tersebut melihat big picture of things serta dapat mengambil kesimpulan dari hal itu. Bila ditelaah lebih lanjut, “konseptualisasi” memungkinkan seseorang untuk dapat membaca situasi yang sedang ia hadapi – sehingga ia akan bisa bertindak dengan baik dan benar sesuai situasi yang sedang dihadapinya.

Jadi, life is a learnt skill. Lambat laun kita pasti bisa. Kita hanya perlu berhati-hati dalam memilih skill apa yang ingin kita pelajari. Pikirkan dengan seksama, mantapkan hati, lalu pergilah, jalani harimu dengan sebaik mungkin! Have a fun and blessed life!

A Letter to My Baby

I want you to see, baby. I want you to see that we’re just a human as much as anybody. That Mama sometimes cry and a little sappy, that she might even cry when she’s angry. Your Papa is generally funny but  he might be quiet when he’s worry. We love hard & play hard but of course we still fight, we talk good and do good but mistakes will still be made. I want you to know that it is okay to be mad when you’re angry; to be sad when you’re lonely, to be jelly, to feel icky and to  experience any emotions other  than feeling happy. Sometimes people still smile even when they do not feel so smiley. It’s the thing people do for many reasons, really. They are just complex with all of their story. And we human often are difficult with feelings, but it is always good to let things out than to bottled it up. Because the explosion might not be pretty. So please just be kind to everyone, baby. Because we all deserve of being loved just as much as everybody. The messiness, the cra...

The soft orange wall

There’s a nice glow from the room outside. It was warm, inviting, pretty. Ever so beautiful like we live in the golden hour, all time glow. I hope the new room will bring new adventure to baby. With its soft orange colored wall,  surrounded with toys that he likes and people that he loves. I hope he’ll grow as warm as his new wall.  Bold but not too bold; brave but not too brave, only enough. Enough to make people sit & feel comfortable with him and his presence.  The wall is cautious, warm & beautiful. An instant homely feelings will be felt when you take your first step into the room.  I hope, oh I hope that room will always remind him of home. I hope it will always remind him of us.  Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 27 Maret 2025. Hari Kamis, pukul 10 pagi.

The Family Who Read

         I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books.           So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father...
