"voorprong van het achterlijkheid."
Orang bisa melompat maju tanpa perlu mengikuti irama pengalaman yang dialami
orang lain tapi dengan belajar meniru menggunakan kemajuan teknologi
Tahukah anda bahwa dunia sudah berubah? Tahukah anda negara lain sudah
berubah? Inginkah anda negara anda juga berubah? Sudahkah anda berubah?
Kita memang miskin sumber daya alam tapi bukan berarti miskin kreatifitas
Perubahan memerlukan upaya dan dimulai dari diri sendiri, dimulai dari hal
yang terkecil dan dimulai saat ini juga
