The number of vehicles using fuel oil energy is increasing and increasing now. Plane, car, or ship accident often happens. These accidents are often caused by fuel oil problem or aggravated by fuel oil. The damaged machine causes fire splash and then spreads to fuel oil tank, blaaarrr……The fuel oil explosion is happened and it causes more victims.

If the accident happens in the sea, oil from ships will spill in the sea. How many sea creatures die, how wide the water area have been polluted when Deepwater Horizon accident happens in Mexico Gulf?

Besides accident, the increasing number of vehicles using fuel oil energy causes air pollution mainly in urban area. Smoke that is produced make the city is lack of fresh air. Fueled oil vehicle is one of the main causes of global warming.

Will our earth be always like that? Car factory continues to product cars, more and more people have dream to owe luxury car, but….

In the fact, our crude oil isn’t increasing.

Even day by day, oilrigs in the offshore will always decrease the capacity of our crude oil for the sake of people need.

What if our crude oil is exhausted? Let us think about the worst effect that may be happened!

War happens because each country struggles to get the remaining crude oil. Crude oil becomes so scarce and its price is extremely high. There is inflation everywhere. It’s possible that nuclear war will be happened!

Terrible, isn’t it? So, it’s necessary to think alternative energy source for our future!

Every morning when we get up, see outside….our surrounding is lightened by sunlight. When we get out, our body is warmed by sunlight. Sunlight that lightens our world since ancient time is abundant and eternal energy source. It won’t be exhausted, no matter how much we use it.

If sunlight can support live for billions of people in this earth and so that for every creature, of course we also can use this awesome energy source. Yeah, use it becomes energy source for our vehicles!



Do you know Zephyr, plane which energy source comes from solar energy? Zephyr can stay aloft for two weeks, day and night above Arizona, US! In the noon, solar panels in its wing absorb energy from the sun and some of them are stored in lithium-sulphur battery, so the battery gives energy for Zephyr in the night. Believe it or not, in theory Zephyr can stay aloft forever, no need for landing! (http://www.technewsdaily.com/solar-powered-uav-stays-aloft-for-weeks-on-end--0872/)

Let us use our imagination, imagine a city in the future which the energy source of all vehicles comes from solar. Noise from car can be greatly reduced, city air can be still fresh no matter how much car in the road, the number of victims that can be greatly reduced because we don’t need to worry about explosion that comes from fuel oil tank, and people can still have dream to owe a luxury car - with much more futuristic and cool model!



In addition, with technology advancement we can further use solar energy for vertical farming, cooking, water treatment, and enhancing many more cool gadgets using solar energy for their energy source.

Quite prospective, isn’t it?

Finally I am here, in the mid of my study time. Now there are many changes in my campus…some lecturers I know well don’t teach me anymore coz they continue their study abroad, I have some junior friends, my campus has new building with swimming pool, and some subjects I really want to learn are opened. It’s really a new atmosphere!

And I still have two more years here, two years that’s just the beginning in my life. Of course I want to be better than two years before. I remember…I often felt so unsatisfied when my mark didn’t meet my target, I often felt chased by deadline, I was afraid about my future…hmmm…now I want to throw them away. I don’t want to live in fear anymore, I want to be really free to develop my creativity and character in my last two years in my campus.

But it doesn’t mean I let myself down and don’t do anything….no!! I still want to do many things, but I don’t like to say it “target”….I don’t want to burden myself with target! I want to write more, I want to learn Eastern language more, I want to begin learning about smart machine.

And let me remind myself….if all that I do is useless if I enjoy it by myself…so I want to develop myself to make Jesus smile, to make the others happy. I want to give more with all of my talents!

Yeah…I will try my best!

At the moment,
So suffering with my childishness
When I feel so egoist,
Don’t mean to hurt others, but they feel so hurt
By my ego
When I feel so lost,
Don’t know which is right or wrong

Often, I ask God
Change me right now…
I’m so tired with this!

But I realize,
Life isn’t a teleport
I shouldn’t ask God for that
God is very patient waiting for me
Change my weakness,
Throw away my ego
Though it’s such a hard and hurt process

Struggle though it’s so hard,
Keep up hoping though it seems so impossible to hope,
Change my weakness though it hurts me very much,
That’s why I life, that’s why I born

I realize,
God wants me to be strong
He wants to see me can walk
With my own foot, with His guidance
Like a child practice how to walk

If I surrender and just cry
Then I will make Him so sad, right?
Yeah, at the moment
I know I mustn’t surrender
I must believe and hope
I can be more and more mature
I don’t want to make Him sad once more time
I don’t want to be like this along my life

Coz life isn’t a teleport
Deep in my heart, I realize it so much…

In the near future, there is a man who is very brilliant in developing military strategies. He is often requested by some countries, work for them to increase the power of those countries’ army. He is very brilliant, very rich, and very famous.

As the day passed by, the world politic condition is getting warmer. The main cause is world crude oil is almost exhausted, so some superpower countries prepare their army to face each other. As a consequence, the third world countries suffer a lot because of the competition. There are inflation, hunger, and poverty everywhere. There is no doubt that World War 3 will be happened soon.

The man also follows the world condition. Every night after a day long working, he goes to his room and watches television. One time, he sees the news about the condition in some third world countries. The babies cry while their brother and sister are dying because of hunger and cholera epidemic.

Because of that, he can’t sleep in the night. His mind accuses him, “You! You participate for their suffering! You make the world become worse!!”

He tries to ignore his mind. But as he tries to ignore it, he can’t stay calm.

Several days passed. Finally he can’t bear it. He decides to retire from his job.

“Why so sudden? My country needs people like you. We promise if our country wins the war, you’ll get everything you want from this country. But please, stay work with us. If you feel your salary isn’t enough, we’ll make deal again.”

“No, it’s not about the salary. I’m just tired with my job, I want to go to the third world countries and help them.”

His colleagues laugh at him. How can a man with his brilliant ideas, his high salary, and his position choose to leave everything and help such powerless countries??

But the man decides to follow his heart. He finally retires from his job and prepares everything to go to the third world countries. He thinks, if he can successfully contribute his ideas to help superpower countries increasing their power, why not if he contributes his brilliant ideas to make a better world?

The plane that will bring him comes. But soon after he enters the plane, he is killed by conspiracy.

Such a useless deed, isn’t it? No, it’s not useless! You know, after his death, Interpol investigate the cause of his death. After they found, they publish it. His death motivates many people in superpower countries to help third world countries. His death opens the eyes for many people in superpower countries that there are their brothers and sisters in the other side of the world suffer a lot because of their competition.

Who are you?

It’s not about your skill.
It’s not about your job.
It’s not about your condition.
It's not about the others' opinion.
It’s about YOUR CHOICE.

One day, there is a city
There held a military parade
All soldiers marching
With their tanks and vehicles
In the main road of the city

No, they are not invaders
They even don’t celebrate victory!
Look closer…
Their tanks, their guns
Without ammunition, without bullets
Without rockets, without bombs
And look closer again!
Abram Tank US, Panzer Germany, Merkava Israel, Katyusha Arab
All take part for the parade

Above them, in the clear blue sky
F-22 US, MiG China, and Sukhoi Russia
Maneuvering together, make such wonderful airshow
Then many leaflets are dropped
By unarmored helicopters
“When all wars and violence cease”
That’s the message of those leaflets

The citizens drowned in the sea of happiness, too
Children with their father, shouting happily,
“Daddy, I want to join them!!”
Soldiers welcome children very friendly
While mothers see from their house garden
Smile when seeing their children
Enjoying their perfect childhood
And look at the other side!
Many teens gather, take photo together
With army from every nation in the background

In the trotoar, some old men
Having nostalgic moment
The moment where their generation
Kill and being killed, taking fire each other
But….those memories,
They promise to forget it
For them, see their son, daughter, grandchildren
Live in peace without war, is the true happiness
That can erase their every traumatic past



“When all wars and violence cease…”

One day, there was a boy waiting in the train station. While the boy was waiting, he opened his purse and noticed the money that he had. Inside his purse, he had 10000 rupiahs, 20000 rupiahs, and 50000 rupiahs.

Suddenly a stranger came to the boy and asked, "Hey boy, how much money do you have inside your purse?"

The boy simply answered the stranger and mentioned all the money he had. Then the stranger continued his question, "May I take your 50000 rupiahs?"

"No Sir, if I give my 50000 to you I can't buy ticket for train. You can owe my 10000 and 20000, but don't take my 50000."

This illustration is very similar to us who are in the life crossroad. We are like the boy that's waiting in the station, have a big question in our mind...when the train that will bring us to the future will come. And we have many things in our life now and there is ONE thing that is the most valuable. The most valuable thing that we must keep. We can't let somebody or something take it from us...for the better future. For our true call in the world. We may lose the other things, but the most valuable thing must stay in our life forever...yeah, just like the "ticket" for our life.

The question is....what is that most valuable thing? What is our ticket that must be kept while we live?

Find it by yourself.
