Kata-kata yg saya buat judul tulisan singkat ini
diucapkan oleh Inzimamul Haq, kapten cricket Pakistan
ketika timnya berhasil menahan imbang tim cricket
India di saat India sudah berada di ambang kemenangan.
"Criticism makes us better and stronger!" Sungguh
indah ucapan ini. Apalagi diucapkan oleh seorang
individu yg berasal dari negara berkembang (baca,
negara bekas jajahan), Pakistan.
Pakistan, India dan Indonesia tidak ada bedanya.
Secara mental mereka terbebani dg warisan anak jajahan
yg identik dg keminderan, low-self-esteem. Salah satu
ciri mental yg minder/low-esteem adalah tidak siap
hati untuk dikritik. Ketidaksiapan ini berbentuk
reaksi beraneka: bagi individu yg berstatus "rendah"
(miskin, jabatan rendah) reaksinya dapat berbentuk
rasa ketakutan untuk melakukan apapun; sedang bagi yg
berstatus "tinggi" (kaya, jabatan tinggi) reaksinya
dapat berupa kemarahan, kebencian dan tindak kekerasan
bagi si pengeritik.
Criticism makes us stronger! Let's learn to speak up,
criticise each other, open our heart and mind toward
any criticism which comes upon us. And make better
performance, individually or institutionally, based on
it. :)
Mala and Rizki, you have started to speak your mind
up. Hopefully, it'll be followed by others. Neither of
us are senior nor seniors, because everybody after the
age of 17 years of age is considered matured and
therefore senior. Hence, I feel comfort to criticise
Pak Suhadi or Pak Dalton if circumstances force me to
do so. Likewise, I feel comfort of being criticised by
anyone much younger than me (below 20 year-old) if
any.
Sekedar renungan sejenak, menjelang salat Ashar.

A WINNER works harder than a loser and has more time.
A LOSER is always "too busy" to do what is necessary.
