Minta doanya semua, minggu depan Sarah di dunia nyata mau ikut seleksi Olimpiade Bahasa Inggris Nasional untuk Politeknik, rencanya mau nampilin speech... minta doanya semoga lolos dan bisa mewakili kampus Sarah... Ini kira2 text speechnya : (masih akan ada beberapa revisi) Knowing Less Means Knowing More I want to explain this topic from how we offer our mindset, about our perspective or how we see something else, and basically this problem is very close with people’s knowledge. So, I will give a little explanation about the meaning of knowledge. Knowledge means information and skill acquired through experience or education. So people who have a lot of knowlegde are included to be well-grounded or educated people who have a lot of experiences in their life and have higher education background. By having knowledge we will get a lot of benefits, for the example we can know and do something that other people can’t do becuse we have information just like how to do that, the rules, the procedures and so on, and also we have the experience that will make our information more and more comprehensive/complete. For the example people who have studied about economic and worked in that sector will know more about market, stock, price than people who never study about that. So that’s why knowledge also can makes people proud and can be apreciated by nother people. But as a human being, actually our knowlegde is still less, because the fact we live in a big place that we call earth where so many people have more knowledge than us. And in this earth we can find so many complicated things that even the smartest person dont know and can’t understand all. And if we look out side, actually we also one of the smallest part of the bigger community that’s the universe, and of course there are so many knowledges that people dont know about. Because till right now the mankind still can’t really ensure that there are no other life out side, altought we know that the universe consist of so many galaxies, planets, stars and much more. So the question is, Can we still over proud with our knowledge? Of course not. And if there are some people who think they’are great because of they don’t know about the truth, about how big and large knowledge is So, as like I have told to you we have to offer our mindset to be “knowing less” people. What the real meaning behind that statement? First, It means we have to realize that we are nothing, our knowledge is less and we still need the other people to increase it, eventhough we have a lot of experinces and higher education background but actually there’s some people who have other knowledge that we dont have. And that knowledge not only come from someone who have intelegence but also from common people. If we can offer our mindset to be “knowing less” people, we will be easier to accept and learn new knowledge. For the example when we meet with someone else who have disabilities we can learn their spirit to fight for their life. Or someone who has strong motivation to study, just like Nola Orch She’s an American collage graduate, and in 2007 she became a Guinness World Record holder as the worlds oldest college graduate when she received her diploma at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas. And in Indonesia we have Diana Patricia Pasaribu she is a 79 y.o woman and a lecturer of Academy of Theology of Ekumene, Jakarta. She was started her bachelor degree when she was 65 y.o and graduated at the age of 69 y.o, then se continue her master and doctor degree so that she got acknowlegment from MURI as a the oldest doctor degree graduate in Indonesia whe she received it at the age of 77 y.o. So, can u imagine what motivation that can makes them do that crazy thing is? Because of they put theirself as “knowing less”people and that’s make them have more ambition to study no matter how old they are. But, in the other side people who think that they’re good enough, they will close their self from the knowledge it self. Because they feel satisfied and always think “Im better than you” Second, knowing less means we dont need to know about weakness but we have to know more about our potential. Sometime we are too focuse with our weakness than realize that we have something that can makes us big. I want to share to you about the story of Helen Keller, she was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deafblind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree. She was born as normal, but in the age of 19 months she got an illness that mede her deaf and blind. But altought she has that disabilities, her spirit was so strong. She won Honorary University Degrees Womens Hall of Fame, The Presidential Medal of Freedom and The Lions Humanitarian Award, even her life story that was filmed won 2 academy awards. She was the founder of American Foundation for the Blind dan American Foundation for the Overseas Blind. And, have you heard about Paralympic Games, that’s the major international sport event for disable athletes? Yes they have weakness but their spirit can make them become inspirational people, who not only inspire the other disables but also us, as a normal people. They can do that because the focuse on their potential not their weakness. Perhaps, Helen Keler won’t be Helen Keler if she’s not deaf and blind. So, the conclution of my speech are : 1. We have to realize that we just a human being who still need the other people and study to increase our knowledge 2. We have to focuse about our potential than our weaknesses, and explore what we have than what we dont have By offerinf our mainset to be knowingless people we will know more how to care and understand each other, how to speak up our main and how to be down to earth people, that’s waht i call knowing less means knowing more. :* :* :*
