SBM ITB held Alumni Forum 2014 with topic Future
Challenges of Indonesia Business 2015 in Energy and
Financial Services. Came as speakers were Ahmad Yuniarto
(Chairman of Schlumberger Indonesia), Rico Usthavia Frans
(Senior Executive Vice President for Transactional Banking
of PT. Bank Mandiri Tbk), and Dr. Agung Wicaksono
(Lecturer of SBM ITB) as moderator for this forum held at
Kampus Jakarta (6/12/2014).
“Energy sector is a sector where you don't have to work for
demand. Even when you are asleep, you will see the
demand is growing. But in the other hand, that was very big
challenge. Looking into 2025, we will get into the level of 8
million barrel oil per day. We should not only to maintain
the level of production, but also” to up the production. And
the biggest revolution in term of energy is that we have to
move away from the perception that Indonesia is rich of
energy resources,” said the Chairman of Schlumberger
Indonesia.
As we moved to Bank Mandiri’s as one of the leading
financial services in the region, their challenge in next year
as Rico stated, “Every 5 years, we have a long-term plan
starting from phase 1 in 2005 – 2009, phase 2 in 2010 –
2014 and phase 3 2015 – 2020. Our vision is to lead
domestic position and close remaining gaps in key areas,
tap into high value regional opportunities. Of course, we
would like to be the icon of Indonesia like Samsung in
Korea, Sony in Japan or Apple in US. And when we talk
about financial Industry, there is Mandiri in Indonesia.”
Moderated by Dr. Agung Wicaksono, both speakers received
many questions from the audience. Ahmad Yuniarto explained
to participants on the reason why we have the energy mix
strategy. “To win out our dependency on fossil fuel, there is
genuine inception to tap into: new and renewable energy
beyond traditional fossil fuel. Indonesians say that Indonesia
has the biggest potential geothermal resources in the world, but
why geothermal energy is not growing? Some of the problem
was actually a non technical problem that geothermal
associated with the magma, and magma associated with
volcano, and volcano is out there in the beautiful protected
forest. And when we are talking about new and renewable
energy, the biggest opportunity in Indonesia is not geothermal,
is not even hydro. The biggest opportunity in Indonesia is
biofuel and biomass”.
To close the session, moderator summed up the discussion
content with note. “Be it developing energy sustainability or
expanding financial inclusion, the key lies with the people. We
need to have the right man on the right place, people with no
vested interest and baggage from the past who can make the
right decision. It is why revolusi mental (mental revolution) sounds
easy but actually it’s very difficult, since it deals with simple
decisions but can be tough for the persons with wrong mentality.
This is the very basic fundament of mental revolution, instead of
obliging civil servants to eat cassava or officials flying economic
class,” highlighted Dr. Agung Wicaksono.
In this opportunity Dr. Yos Sunitiyoso as the Director of Jakarta
Campus shared an update to the alumni. “As we have been
growing, today’s number of Jakarta’s students has reached
about 428 with total alumni of 346. And starting next year, we
have a doctoral degree of science in management held in
Jakarta and we do have some MBA alumni accepted as
students,” shared Yos Sunitiyoso.
“the biggest revolution in term of
energy is that we have to move away
from the perception that Indonesia is
rich of energy resources” Ahmad Yuniarto

Gita Wirjawan was the first speaker of Leadership
Night: A Presidential Forum 2014 held by School of
Business and Management ITB at Jakarta Campus last
Wednesday (16/4/14). According to Gita, there were 5
things that the next leader should have accomplished. It
would include economic growth, education, law
enforcement, diversity, and geopolitic influences.
“The next government is about from public to public. As
long as we do the best as public policy maker and we
can make people happier. I think that is the net profit of
what we do as a policy maker,” said the candidate
president from Demokrat Party’s convention. Whoever
stepped up to be the leader for this country, said Gita,
he/she should have been able to do things below:
1. Increasing economic growth with equitable
2. Increasing the quality and quantity of education
3. Law enforcement, law reform
4. Keep the diversity of Indonesia
5. How Indonesia can be influencing in geopolitic
construction
“Leadership style in Indonesia is not like playing piano,
guitar, or violin in which can be played by a single
player. We should implement the Angklung style. It is the
leader who gives code to create a symphony. That’s
movement, that’s leadership,” said Anies Baswedan who
was inspired by learning lessons implemented at Saung
Angklung Udjo. Anies as one of candidate presidents
from the convention of Democrat Party was invited to
share about his leadership journey in Jakarta (28/4/14).

“Leadership style in Indonesia is not like playing piano, guitar,
or violin in which can be played by a single player. We should
implement the Angklung style. It is the leader who gives code to
create a symphony. That’s movement, that’s leadership,” said
Anies Baswedan who was inspired by learning lessons
implemented at Saung Angklung Udjo. Anies as one of
candidate presidents from the convention of Democrat Party
was invited to share about his leadership journey in Jakarta
(28/4/14).
“One of the biggest problems in Indonesia is corruption. It
happens in all parties and all sectors. With Turun Tangan
movement, we invite the Indonesians to get involved and create
changes to the political face of Indonesia. We want the people
who represent us, are those people who can make us proud,”
told the Rector of Paramadina University.
Moreover, Anies continued to share about how Indonesia had
not yet been focused on the human resource development and
how he initiated Indonesia Mengajar to contribute. “The key
challenge for human resource is teacher. When we talk about
teacher, three major problems appear. Those are teachers
distribution, quality, and their welfare. The main idea that we
want to develop is to focus on human resource,” as the founder
explained.
More about Indonesia Mengajar. It is a movement initiated by
Anies Baswedan that invite Indonesia’s best young generation –
the educated, high achiever and striving new generation – to
become elementary teachers for one year throughout Indonesia.
Indonesia Mengajar believes that the presence of Indonesia’s
best young generation as teachers would improve the quality of
education in Indonesia.
Yani Panigoro, a member of SBM ITB’s School Advisory Council,
who is also the Chairwoman of Medco Energy, saluted Anies for
this movement. “I have known Pak Anies since he initiated
Indonesia Mengajar. I salute him that he is able to switch the
best fresh graduates to teach in rural area” said Yani Panigoro
in her opening speech last night.
Besides Gita Wirjawan and Anies Baswedan, the forum also
sets Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto to share their
leadership journey.

It's official. Indonesia's main opposition PDI-P party has
nominated the widely popular Jakarta Governor Joko
Widodo – better and more affectionately known as Jokowi –
as its candidate for the presidential election due on 9 July.
This could be another significantly positive game-changer in
Indonesia's recent quite uplifting narrative.
Before the presidential election come national parliamentary
elections, which are due to be held on 9 April. As things stand,
Indonesia's 187 million registered voters will choose between
12 parties fielding a total of 200,000 candidates.
These elections have so far attracted little attention in the
West, underlining the fact that Indonesia is without doubt the
world's biggest country about which the littlest is known. We
would suggest two reasons for this. One is that despite
Indonesia's size, it is overshadowed by India and China. The
other is that "good news is no news".
These conditions will persist, so Indonesia is likely to remain in
relative global obscurity despite its accomplishments. The
forthcoming elections present a number of challenges, but on
balance there is good reason to believe that stable
democracy will prevail.
Indonesia's national symbol (and the name of its national
airline) is the garuda, a large bird derived from both Hindu
and Buddhist mythology. Although there will be headwinds,
the garuda should continue to soar.
Then and now
Composed (depending on the tide) of 13,000 to 17,000
islands, Indonesia has a quarter of a billion people, making it
the world's 4th largest country; it also has the world's largest
Moslem population, with significant ethnic, linguistic and
religious minorities. The country has a rich culture; throughout
history Indonesia played a vital role in the global spice trade.
A Dutch colony for several centuries and occupied by the
Japanese army during World War II, Indonesia declared
independence in August 1945 with a population at the time of
just 70 million. Between 1945 and 1998, Indonesia had two
rulers: Sukarno (1945-1965) and Suharto (1966-1998).
While Sukarno was quite politically flamboyant and featured
frequently in the global limelight, Suharto adopted a low
profile, concentrating on growing the economy.
He succeeded. Indonesia is one of what the World Bank
termed the "East Asian miracle economies"; it is also one of
only 13 economies in the world that, according to the
Commission for Growth and Development's 2008 report,
sustained an average annual growth rate of over 7% for a
minimum of 25 consecutive years between 1950-2005. In fact
in Indonesia's case it was 33 years: from 1965 to 1998.
Then came the 1997/98 East Asian financial crisis, resulting in
the collapse of both the Indonesian economy and Suharto's
rule, as student protests and social unrest spread throughout
the country. Indonesia went through a somewhat turbulent
political transition, with three different presidents from 1998
to 2004, and occasional fears that the country might implode.
In 2014, the republic's sixth president, Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono (aka SBY), democratically elected in 2004 and
2009, will step down following two terms in office.
In the meantime the economy has recovered strongly. Today
Indonesia is the world's 16th largest economy, having
witnessed significant poverty reduction, urbanisation and the
growth of a middle-income consuming class currently
estimated at 45 million. While still very much a commodity
exporter, it is increasingly present as a global hub of
manufacturing, with some 55 million skilled workers. Indonesia
is ranked 39th in IMD's 2013 World Competitiveness
Yearbook, up 3 places since the previous year. Although quite
far behind China (21st), it is ahead of other BRIC countries:
India (40th), Russia (42nd) and Brazil (51st).
Connectivity is high in Indonesia. It has 212 million mobile
phone subscribers and 135 million internet users. It is fifth
worldwide in terms of numbers of twitter accounts (after the
US, Brazil, Japan and the UK), while Jakarta is the world's
most active city by number of "tweets", followed by Tokyo,
São Paulo, London and New York, with Bandung coming in
sixth.
Indonesia has also been increasingly visible and active on
both the regional and global stages. As the biggest member
state of ASEAN it has considerable influence on the policies
and practices of this important regional institution, including in
extending its reach to other countries of the Asia Pacific; for
example, in the proposal to form RCEP (Regional
Comprehensive Economic Partnership), which includes the ten
ASEAN member states along with Australia, China, India,
11
![Page 13: SBM ITB Newsletter 2014](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012309/568ca90e1a28ab186d9be273/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand. It is active in APEC
and hosted its summit in Bali in October 2013. Bali was also
the venue for the 9th WTO ministerial conference, which,
contrary to many expectations, was the first successful WTO
ministerial meeting since the launch of the Doha Round in
2001. The Indonesian trade minister, Gita Wirjawan, is
considered to have played a key role. Indonesia is also a
member of the G20.
Still some way to go
Although the garuda has been soaring since the political
and economic crises of late last century, it has by no means
reached cruising altitude yet. Despite poverty reduction and
the emergence of a new urban middle class, 43% of the
population earns less than $2 a day. This is a high
percentage, even if significantly lower than India's 69%.
With an estimated $4,900 GDP per capita, Indonesia is
125th, after Brazil (81st) and China (93rd), though ahead
of India (133rd).
To combat poverty, the Indonesian economy needs to grow.
The BKPM (the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board) is
making significant efforts – including through a striking
advertising campaign – to attract inward foreign direct
investments. But according to the World Bank 2013 Doing
Business Index, Indonesia is a rather poor 120th, among the
BRICS ahead only of India (134th) and behind Russia
(92nd), China (96th) and Brazil (116th).
That low ranking partly reflects the fact that Indonesia has
not yet succeeded in effectively combatting corruption.
According to the 2013 Transparency International Index,
Indonesia (114th) ranks ahead of Russia (127th), but behind
other BRIC countries: Brazil (72nd), China (80th) and India
(94th). Efforts to improve governance, including through
innovations in e-government, need to be intensified.
Indonesia also faces considerable environmental challenges
and urgently needs to clean up its act. According to the Yale
Environmental Perception Index, it ranks 112th out of 177
countries. Infrastructure is also weak.
But where the garuda has really soared is in democracy.
Indonesia stands proudly as the world's third biggest
democracy. As we know from the Arab Spring and many
other sad examples, the transition from dictatorship to
democracy is rarely smooth, or indeed conclusive. That a
big, diverse and still relatively poor country such as
Indonesia should have succeeded as far as it has is a
testimony to the Indonesian people.
The ultimate test will be July's presidential election, with
Jokowi being the strongest contender. This likely shift of
leadership from a former military general to a "man on the
street" would mark a socio-political transformation
unprecedented in any Asian democracy.

project advisor to the Board of Angkasa Pura 2,
Indonesia Airport Corporation for the grand
design and development of Jakarta International
Airport. On the workshop Dr. Aries shared his
experience during his contribution in Angkasa
Pura 2 “if you come to the airport now you will
feel really bad, because the total capacity of
Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and the small Terminal 3
the total capacity is twenty-two million
passengers a year but can you imagine this day
the actual figure of Soekarno Hatta Airport is
sixty-two million passengers a year so no wonder
if we have late arrival, late departure and etc.
So the project running now is expanding the
small Terminal 3.”
“Project manager as project leader they should
manage all stakeholders, secure goal
achievement and lead the followers” said Dr.
Aries F. Firman the Project Management expert.

excel, it’s only 10% of his over time 90% of his over
time is communication to know the problem,” said
Henny on her presentation.
“Is Organization Project Management important for
my organization? Yes, to understand best practices,
organizations continue to grow in scope and goals,
to identify maturity – understand your
organization’s current project management
capabilities, plan improvement activities – use your
completed OPM3 assessment to help formulate an
improvement plan,” said Henny the alumni of
Business Leadership MBA Program.
Dr. Aries F. Firman was closed the session by
answered Cindy Simon question participants from
Aljes Consulting Services about how to deal with the
people within your organization “Basically the chief
of project management unit is somebody really the
leader of his group and this person must speak in
different languages the first is the languages of the
technicalities of project management, he/she must
be a real master of the project management, he/she
must be a good leader, you can direct your staff,
you can be the counselor, you can be a good
listener, you must be a good motivator and try to
involve and encourage all the people to be on the
right track. In many cases with this kind of different
group they try to be on their own and do not want
to see how other people trying also to achieve their
objective, so this is the role of project manager as a
project leader to make sure that cross department,
cross discipline, must have the same understanding
on how to achieve the goal at your unit, not just
within your own group. In this case the role of
project leader is absolutely extremely crucial,” said
Dr. Aries F. Firman to closed the workshop session.

“Sustainable Investment is an investment that integrates long-term
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria into
investment and ownership decision-making with the objective of
generating superior risk-adjusted financial returns,” shared
RusdianLubis at last Tuesday Luncheon Talk held by Jakarta
Campus (25/3/2014).
Attended by industry practitioners, the 33-year environmental
management expert highlighted three key points on the importance
of sustainable. “Global mega trends, the growing momentum of
legislative initiatives, and the interest of investors in ESG, “as the
Chair for Compliance Review Panel at Asian Development Bank
(ADB) said.
Then, why need to safeguard? “To ensure commitment for
sustainable development, to lower the project risk management,
and to ensure a commitment for transparency and good
governance, “told former Senior Environment Specialist for World
Bank.
“According to World Bank definition that the safeguards (are set
of policies and procedures) to ensure that environmental and social
issues are evaluated in decision making, help reduce and manage
the risks associated with a project or program, and provide a
mechanism for consultation and disclosure of information,”
explained Rusdian in his presentation.
The 3-hour discussion was enclosed by Eight Performance
Standards to Safeguarding Sustainable Investment:
1. Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social
Risks and Impacts
2. Labor and Working Conditions
3. Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention
4. Community Health, Safety, and Security

7. Indigenous People
8. Cultural Heritage
SD Darmono, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PT. Jababeka,
Tbk, said that the ultimate goal of his company is to transform
Indonesian society to be a modern industrialized nation. As he said
earlier this morning to Yudo Anggoro, faculty of SBM ITB
(30/1/2014) in Jakarta. Industrialization is the crucial key for
Indonesia to bring value added to the society, as well as to put
Indonesia in a well-respected position in the current competitive
global market.
Established in 1989, PT Jababeka, Tbk spearheaded the
development of industrial estates in Indonesia. “At that time we were
frustrated with the condition of industrial investment in Indonesia,”
Darmono recalled, “Foreign investors were afraid to invest due to
high uncertainty, we did not have any single industrial complex,
sufficient infrastructures, not electricity.” Darmono perceived this
unfavorable condition as an opportunity. “I said to government, let us
build the industrial complex, and investment will come. The demand
was there, and I was right. We built the first industrial complex, and
foreign investors were flocking to our complex. First was United
Tractor, second was Unilever. Now we have more than 2.000
industries in our industrial district in Cikarang alone. We create jobs
for people, everybody is happy,” Darmono smiled.
Darmono planned to expand his industrial estates throughout
Indonesia. “Now we have Cikarang Dry Port. We also have other
industrial districts in Cilegon, Kendal, and Morotai. Industrialization
generates values more than what agriculture society may offer,” as
he explained. He argued that one ha of land can only provide job
for one person in agriculture society. “But the same size of land can
create job for one hundred, even one thousand people in
industrialization,” he added.
Darmono also believed that human capital is a critical element for
Indonesia to be competitive. “That is why collaboration with
educational institutions such as SBM ITB is crucial to supply our best
talents to the industries. In the future, we should provide as many
qualified and skilled people as possible to be able to compete with
other industrialized nations,” he said.
When he was asked about government’s plan to create more
industrial estates as stated in the Masterplan for Accelerating and
Expansion of Indonesia Economic Development (MP3EI), he replied
smilingly, “It is a nice dream.”
this interview was performed for
the purpose of Yudo Anggoro’s
dissertation project at the
University of North Carolina,
Charlotte, US.

The Aerotropolis Model: Indonesia’s Competitive Advantage
John D Kasarda present business Aerotroplis concept in SBM ITB
Jakarta campus (25/6/14). John visiting Indonesia to support
Angkasa Pura 2 in developing Aerotropolis concept for Indonesia
airport. Represent from Angkasa Pura 2 Salahudin Rafi Director of
Airport Development and Technology presented his opening
speech. “Now we are (Angkasa Pura 2) focusing on the exploring
the concept of Aerotropolis and we are supported by John
Kasarda. The experience from Soekarno Hatta we must have a
new concept to the Kualanamu airport to become the 2nd
international airport in Indonesia, open in July 2013 located in
north Sumatera, Kualanamu airport is the first airport in Indonesia
which has direct express rail to the city,” said Salahudin Rafi the
Alumni of MBA ITB. On his presentation Salahudin Rafi showing the
airport city development concept for Kualanamu airport which near
to the business park, cargo terminal logistic, leisure entertainment
park, apartment, and hotel.
“An Aerotropolis can be defined as a multimodal freight and
passenger transportation complex which support efficient, cost-
effective, sustainable development in a defined region of
economic, significance centered around a major airport. But, it is
more than a transport complex, it is a strategy to the airport
become more functional for regional economic development. That
is, an Aerotropolis is a constellation of physical, institutional, and
policy interventions which upgrade airport infrastructure and
facilities reduce connecting ground based transport times and cost
and expand air route connectivity to improve operational
efficiencies to the airport and metropolitan region and leverage
aviation enables trade in goods and services,” said John Kasarda
the Leading developer of the Aerotropolis concept.
“The primary objective of the Aerotropolis is to enhancing airport
business and regional competitiveness to improve multimodal
airport surface transportation access and planned. Coordinated
aviation linked commercial development. Key value proposition of
Aerotropolis is offers businesses located near or with good
transport access to the airport with speedy connectivity to their
supplier, customers, and enterprise partners, nationality and
worldwide. The Aerotropolis contains the full set of cargo, logistic,
and commercial facilities that support airlines and aviation linked
businesses as well as air travelers. An airport city developed on
and immediately around the airport serves as the multimodal,
multifunctional commercial and logistic core,” explained the director
of the Center for Air Commerce at UNC's Kenan Institute of Private
Enterprise, John Kasarda.
Continued his presentation John said that the Aerotropolis has three
forms, there are:
Functional Form
• Non Spatial (non observable)
Physical Form
• Spatially Observable Development
Connection/Linkages
• Air Routes
• Highways
• Rail Networks
• Links to Ports
“Airports Today much more than aviation infrastructures. They are
multimodal, multifunctional enterprises generating considerable
commercial development within and well beyond their boundaries. All
commercial function of a modern metropolitan center are locating on
and immediately around major airport sites – transforming them from
“city airports” to “airport cities,” shared John Kasarda the author of
books titled, Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next.
John, also note the Aerotropolis Critical points for Indonesia:
1. It’s more than about commercially developing the airport area.
2. Indonesia’s global competitiveness rests with understanding and
implementing the Aerotropolis model.
3. Individual companies no longer compete their supply chains and
enterprise networks compete, physically moving products and
people quickly around the world.
4. Aviation is Indonesia’s high speed physical internet and airport
are its routers.
5. To maximize nation-wide competitiveness and development
impact, create an Indonesia Global - Link System through CGK
providing speed, agility, connectivity for all major islands to the
global marketplace. Then develop multiple hubs in the decades
ahead.
“The Aerotropolis is a process, not a project. Built on a strategic
roadmap, business logic and stakeholder alignment. Requires
leadership, organization, funding and a strong ongoing public-private
sector commitment. Facilitates economic transformation leading to
greater regional competitiveness and prosperity,” said John to
emphasize audience about Aerotropolis concept.
On the last part of presentation John shared the concluding points to
competing and winning in the 21st century, there are:
1. Economic transformation requires an economic engine.
2. Airports had become primary 21st century economic engines.
3. The Aerotropolis strategy maximizes the power of these engines.
4. This strategy may provide the most opportune pathway to
Indonesia’s business competitiveness and regional economic
development in the decades ahead.
5. It won’t be easy and other Asian competitors are implementing
the strategy with great commitment and resources.
In the end of session John open the discussion with the audience
moderated by Aries Firman one of SBM ITB lecturer. John received
more than three questions from the audience.

and then innovation is turning the creative idea into a practical”

spirit, the creative person always says I can do better than that,” said
Kirpal Singh the expert of creative thinking.
“Creativity or innovation is something that company or organization
has to have in order to survive, in order to be creative you have to be

This year, five institutions joining SEED were SBM ITB, St. Gallen University, Widyatama University, ESQ Business School, DarulAmal
Islamic School, and Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic Indonesia. This annual event invites students to
perform a business plan fora sustainable economic development in one particular village.
After one week living at Pangalengan Village in Bandung, all participants of Social Enterprise for Economic Development (SEED)
presented their final business plansat Jakarta Campus (7/4/14). The SEED participants had three focussed issues:
1. Village Familiarization and Data Gathering:The participants went to different assigned kampongs in the village to do social
mapping and to identify local business opportunities. Students experienced the village life among the community and discuss
potential opportunities for business development.
2. Focus Group Discussion with Villagers and Business Plan Development:Students worked closely with the villagers to
identify villagers’ expectation and willingness to improve their situation and to discuss how enterprise and/or community
development could have been done based on the potential and the capabilities of villagers. Students drafted their business
plans and discussed all activities in detail with the villagers in order to get the necessary feedback and to help shifting their
mindsets towards change and self improvement.
3. Presentation to Villagers.
At the last round, groups of participants presented their final business plans in front of SEED promoters: Prof. Li Choy Chong and
Dr.AgungWicaksono. Each group had different programs:
Group 1:Composting Cow Manure
Group 2: Product Development Forum to develop the existing products
Group 3: Economic Empowerment with Labu Siam and Water Pump project
Group 4: Intercultural Entrepreneurship for Village Economic Development
Group 5: New Public Transportation
Group 6: Children Community
“It was a great experience in SEED program. I gained a lot of cross cultural experiences from interacting with the villagers to
discussing issues with my Switzerland and German group members,” said Mauludi Muhammad, a student of MBA ITB program.
“I had two programs. The first one was shuttle service program from the village to the city. And the second one, we developed
chicken farm communities. Awesome, it was a great experience for me,” shared other SEED fellows from St. Gallen University,
Friedrich Baron, after presenting.
“The concept of SEED program enables students to practice their understanding on the theoretical concept on what they have
learned in the class. It is a great learning experience because it improvesstudents’capability in transforming leadership team, in a
cross cultural team, and enables students to work with people with other social economic backgrounds. It is very important if we
want to be able to convince someone else about what things should be and howthings could be better,” said Prof. Li Choy Chong as
the Founding Director, Asia Research Centre, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Milton Berle, an American comedian, once said “If evolution really works,how come mothers only have two hands?” Before becoming a mother, Ilaughed at that sentence. But now, as a mother, I think evolution shouldconsider giving mothers the ability to self-replicate. To me personally,being a mother is not an easy thing. To make the matter even morecomplicated, I’m also a working mother, with 2 little children who are intheir most active stage to explore the world. But I tend to believe that allmothers would say that it’s all worth the effort, and they wouldn’t want toreplace it for anything else.
The challenges for nowadays mothers are how to manage time and tobalance role as wife, mother, and working woman. Indra K. Nooyi, PepsiCoCEO, doesn't think that women can have them all. In an interview with TheAtlantic, Indra said “My husband and I have been married for 34 years. Andwe have two daughters. And every day you have to make a decision aboutwhether you are going to be a wife or a mother, in fact many times duringthe day you have to make those decisions. And you have to co-opt a lot ofpeople to help you. We co-opted our families to help us. We plan our livesmeticulously so we can be decent parents. But if you ask our daughters, I'mnot sure they will say that I've been a good mom. I'm not sure. And I try allkinds of coping mechanisms.”
As a wife, a mother, and a working woman, I realize as well that I can’thave it all. I have to prioritize the most important things for me which Idon’t want to sacrifice. Woman could climb up the career ladder andbecome a top notch executive of the company, or put all the effortfocused to her family. It is (almost) impossible to get the best of bothworlds.
I’m blessed to have an understanding husband who supports me ineverything I do with one condition that family should always come first. Ienjoy my role as a wife and a mother, and with the mercy of GOD I stillhave a career life that I can be proud of (even though I’m not and maybewould not become a top notch executive of the company). Sometimes Ifeel like I’m juggling too many things and a few times an “object” fallaccidentally. But I’m learning all the way to juggle things better anyway.
So ladies, whatever your choice is, you should be happy. Be happy withyour decisions and be happy with your life. Embrace your life and live it tothe fullest. Happy mother’s day to all the mothers!
