GLOBAL CHANGE ICONS BAND TOGETHER FOR SOUTHEAST ASIA’S YOUTH

~ First Youth Engagement Summit (Yes 2009) Launched to Inspire SEA’s New Leaders ~

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 10 September 2009 – Malaysia will host the inaugural Youth Engagement Summit (YES 2009) on the 16th & 17th of November 2009 at the world-class Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), Kuala Lumpur. Themed “South East Asia Youth for CHANGE”, YES 2009 will be the first Summit of its kind in Asia, uniting an anticipated 6,000 youth representatives from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos and Brunei. The event will bring together some of the most motivational global change icons from around the world, who have generously pledged their commitment to help this new generation of young leaders to cope with, overcome, and rise above the many challenges of the 21st century.

A press conference was held at the Sime Darby Convention Centre today, to launch YES 2009, set to galvanize Southeast Asia’s young men and women by empowering them with an enhanced potential to responsibly steer the Region further along the fundamental paths of Peace, Progress, and Productivity. Members of the local, regional and international media gathered for this exciting preview of the upcoming event, which was moderated by former CNN news presenter and respected TV personality Lorraine Hahn.

It was announced that the landmark two-day event, expected to kick off with an Opening Address by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, features a superb line-up of speakers from various fields. These include Sir Bob Geldorf, the Founder of Live Aid; world chess legend Garry Kasparov; Biz Stone, co-founder of real-time, one-to-many online network Twitter; Nando Parado, whose survival of a tragic plane crash in the Andes became the basis for the critically acclaimed movie Alive; and Malaysia’s own Tony Fernandez, who pioneered the domestic and international low-cost carrier phenomenon in Asia by spearheading Air Asia and Air Asia X.

In order to further encourage and sustain the instilment of strategic creativity, critical thinking and other vital skills amongst the Region’s best and brightest. Additionally, ten of America’s most promising youth leaders have been invited to attend the event to gain new insights and take their impressions back to America.

According to organizing Chairman Harmandar Singh, advertising veteran and CEO of Regional publishing house Sledgehammer Communications (M) Sdn Bhd., it was President Obama’s inspirational “Yes, We Can” outlook which sparked the inception of YES 2009. “Everybody needs a hero, and President Obama’s charismatic approach has undeniably influenced a dynamic shift in long-held perceptions, particularly where Southeast Asia’s multi-ethnic youths are concerned,” commented Mr. Singh. “We must give our youth—bonded through their idealism and increasingly dedicated to sharing and eliciting opinions amongst their peers regardless of appearance, location or vocation—the right tools to define a direction for Change only fresh eyes can instigate,” he continued.

As part of the YES 2009 initiative, the organizer is attempting to rally the involvement of over 1,000,000 youths between the ages of 15 – 35 years, to share their thoughts by taking part in an online Youth Survey to produce the Sea For Change Youth Report. Participants can now take a proactive role in sharing their needs, motivations, expectations and ideas to the world at large, while guiding political and thought leaders in policy-making decisions plus inspire businesses to engage more effectively with the youth market. It is also an opportunity for participants to win over 500 trips to the Youth Engagement Summit 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, inclusive of return air flights, accommodation and delegate passes worth in excess of USD $2,500 each.

Become Real “Studpreneur” To Change The World


Related to country: Indonesia Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

By Kristanto Bagus Afandi*

As citizens and future stewards of our planet, today’s students are in a unique position to become active agents of world change. The good news is that many of them are very interested in learning about and taking responsibility for their environment and their future.

Today’s young people will inherit a world that’s very different from the one their parents inherited.

Climate change; polluted air, water and soil; endangered species; outright conflict, terrorism, and weapons of mass destruction; poverty and hunger; the threat of global pandemics; shrinking coastlines; a rapidly increasing population; and perhaps the biggest issue of all, financial crisis are among the many issues that threaten our global environment. It is clear that the world faces epochal challenges from many kind of big misery. But, tackled in the right way, today’s crises will lead to tomorrow’s solutions. One of many solution is entrepreneurship and we must believe that the youth smart generation (student) is the right answer to solve all of these problem.

We have knowing that schools and universities around the world are teaching entrepreneurship. For example, in China and India, thousands of people are attending graduate schools of business where entrepreneurship is taught. Exactly, what is the Entrepreneurship? The word entrepreneurship is a mixed blessing. On the positive side, it connotes a special, innate ability to sense and act on opportunity, combining out of the box thinking with a unique brand of determination to create or bring about something new to the world. On the negative side, entrepreneurship is an ex post term, because entrepreneurial activities require a passage of time before their true impact is evident.

Interestingly, we don’t call someone who exhibits all of the personal characteristics of an entrepreneur – opportunity sensing, out of the box thinking, and determination – yet who failed miserably in his or her venture an entrepreneur; we call him or her a business failure. Even someone like Bob Young, of Red Hat Software fame, is called a “serial entrepreneur” only after his first success; i.e., all of his prior failures are dubbed the work of a serial entrepreneur only after the occurrence of his first success. The problem with ex post definitions is that they tend to be ill defined. It’s simply harder to get your arms around what’s unproven. An entrepreneur can certainly claim to be one, but without at least one notch on the belt, the self-proclaimed will have a tough time persuading investors to place bets. Those investors, in turn, must be willing to assume greater risk as they assess the credibility of would-be entrepreneurs and the potential impact of formative ventures.

Who is Studpreneur? And what are the characteristics, habits, and behaviors of the species studpreneur? Is there a learnable and teachable “core” to entrepreneurship? In other words, what can today’s entrepreneurs such as Rob Glaser and Jeff Bezos learn from old stalwarts such as Josiah Wedgwood and Leonard Shoen? Or even within the same period in history, what are the common elements that entrepreneurs across a wide variety of industries share with each other? In sum, is there such a thing as “entrepreneurial thinking” that can be applied across space, time and technology? No,the studpreneurs are students who interest to entrepreneurship but still make their base study to create something new. The studpreneur have indigenous characteristics, such as innovative, pure thinker and creative.

Yes, I can Change the World


Related to country: Indonesia Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

By Dwi Yulianto Nugroho*

Nowadays, we can see a lot of disasters and disturbances happened in Indonesia. We all suffer because the world has changed and get worse. People in the world become emotional. They are easy to get angry. Therefore, there are so many wars and turmoils that make the world get worse. I am sad knowing the condition of the world nowadays. I have once thought that I could not do anything to change the world to be better. I only could say “how pity they are” when I saw the victims of the earthquake in China. I also say “what a poor little girl” when I was watching news program about a mother who killed his little girl because of poverty. I was sad but did not do anything. One night, I was disappointed with myself. I began to think everything I can do for this world. Finally, I realize that I can do many things to change the world to be better. I can change the world in many fields. As a student, I can do it through my behaviours, my interests, health, art and culture, education, politics, and economics. It is possible to change the world to be better.

To change the world, I have to change myself. I realize that I need learn how to be better. I will start it by changing my behaviours. I usually oversleep in the morning. It is a bad habbit. I have to wake up earlier so that I can help my parents and then they will be happy. I believe that happiness can create love and nice atmosphere in my family. It can support my family to do our activities happily. If there is happiness, there will be love. Love can avoid dispute. That is very simple to change the world of my family. I also have to change the other bad behaviour. I am usually easy to get angry. I am a bad tempered person. I am angry when others critize me. I realize that it is can cause dispute and the world will get worse. I have to change my personality. I have to be able to control my emotion and solve my problem wisely. I have to give my nice smile to others because smile can influence somebody’s mood. It is because smile brings hapiness. It also can avoid dispute. You can see that I can do many things only by changing my bad behaviours. Nonetheless, that is not enough to make a better world. The most important thing that must I do is increase my belief towards God. I have to believe in God. I believe that something which can make people have good personality is because they do everyting for the shake of God. They believe that God always gives the best one to them. I also want to increase my belief towards God. I also believe that the most important one is God. Our deeds will be good if we do everything because of God.

Rebuild the Nation with Competence, Professionalism, and Contribution


Related to country: Indonesia Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

By Yenni Saputri*

Introduction

Being a student in Indonesia is being the selected ones. There are only 2% students among 200 millions of Indonesian. Students in Indonesia are called as “the selected ones” not only because of their amount, but also excellences they had that are intellectuality and idealism. Intellectuality is got since they live among the centre of excellence, the university where the intellectuality is developed. Idealism is another excellence had by the student, since with the idealism the student struggle to make their dreams come true. Their intellectuality leads them to the dream which become the ideal they struggle for. Intellectuality and idealism will make student has more spirit to fight for their dream. These excellence is also makes them different with any other citizen, which means they have obligation as the future leader of this nation, and even the world. Students are also one of the main forces of change, and even give solution to the nation’s problems.

Yet, student’s intellectuality and idealism are not enough to realize the dream of the nation. It is because those two excellences will not work without the excellent capacity of the students themselves. Without a good capacity idealism and intellectuality will only become dream without realization. The capacity of the student is called the competence. Competence development will lead the student to achieve their idealism. Professionalism is another thing needed by the student to achieve their idealism, while contribution is the way to develop their competence. Competence is needed to realize idealism, then professionalism, and contribution is needed to develop the competence of student. Developing these three aspect will enable student to have their idealism to change the condition of the nation, comes true. Furthermore competence will help student in the future to overcome the future challenge.

WHAT I DO AS A STUDENT TO CHANGE THE WORLD


Related to country: Indonesia Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

By Ramdhani Wikusumah*

ABSTRACT

Start in Indonesian economic crisis, when stuff must be paid expensively. Included in institution study

fee, which it makes study become luxurious. This problem should resolve in couple years, to reach

brainy Indonesian. How can we measure the brainy level of Indonesian to another country, especially

for the developing country? This is the way of my dream to change the world, at least to change

Indonesian first.

As a university student which will be the next leader, we should have a critical thinking. Where it can be practiced by enforce some dilemmas with discussion solving. This is useful to open our mind and will useful for our future. So the question is “what can I do as a student to change the world?”

Key: brainy Indonesian, what can I do as a student to change the world?

INTRODUCTION

Knowledge is the most important thing for our life. Why? Because to start doing something especially for an item, we should knew about the function, and know how to operate it. Not only that, life can be through with no experiences, but the result will not as good as what we expects. But, if there already experiences based on knowledge, the percentage of the success will much bigger than without.

BRAINY INDONESIAN

Why do I take this topic? It is caused by how brainy people depend on what standard or meter that takes. At this time, I will try to represent the cleverness with popular meter in this age, they are IQ and EQ, two parts that able to explain generally.

There are some famous brainy mean:
1. C. P. Chaplin (1975) said The ability to enforce and adaptive for new situation fast,
2. Anita E. Woolfolk (1975) said brainy included three mentions: ability to learn, whole knowledge that reach and ability to adaptation with new situation or generally environment.

First I would like to talk about what IQ and EQ. IQ (Intelligent Quotient) as an intellectual intelligent
build by Charles Spearman (1904) with him “Two Factor” theory, or Thurstone (1938) with “Primary Mental Abilities” theory. There, they categorize the intelligent and call as Intelligent Quotient (IQ). It was counted by the equivalent of mental age with chronological age, and then categorized it into idiot to genius (Weacheler in Nana Syaodih, 2005).

Emotional Quotient (EQ), the meter by the emotional intelligent ability was invented by Daniel Goleman (1999). He said that the emotional intelligent means the ability to understand our feeling and other, ability to motivate our self and ability to control emotional for our self and other.

From there we can see that actually to be brainy, we should have both. How to reach both? What its forms like? It could be seen, couldn’t it? The reason that I suggest to you to learn. There is no reason if you have not study formally, because we still able to learn from our world and environment. That I had, the environment teaches me more than I got in school applicably. The study to know what is
average human characteristics and the way to enforce it. May it would be better if there is a guide book that already simulated by the expert to minimize the misleading the reader, but the book is too small inside, and all person have different ability to enforce the same condition. So the best teacher

actually is nature. Where from the professor build the intelligent? I think they read it from nature.

Where from the astronauts get the knowledge about the condition in space’s atmosphere??? The reason is the nature. Some of experiences that we already have can be concluded as a knowledge that given by nature. So nature can be one of the reasons where we will create a new work field. Not only became a farmer, but we can build the experiments how to grew up our agriculture in fast.

There is much agricultural university that builds in Indonesia, but how poor if our people just became
a consumerism where just able to walk as the other say it is good or better. We need a spirit to build our ability to believe if we can, because to much Indonesian that after graduated, they work in different subject as them skill.

May be some people will say if they have a weakness in their capacity to reach something. But there is one of alternate that they can have experience from other experience. This is one of cheapest study that people can do. There will be useful for your daily, but this kind of knowledge will be hard or would not be used for scientist life, because nowadays people will believe if there is an experiment from the expert.

The intelligent and emotional quotient actually will grow in the same time or influenced by both. We can meter the brainy not only from how large your IQ test score, but how you can use your intelligent capacity to rebuild your environment to be better. For these two parts we should have it balance, because if there was not stable, it will produce something that a harmful person. As we know like
corruptors that actually we will obtain them have a good IQ, but without EQ they will most possibility corrupt. The corrupt has same meaning with took something that not suppose his stuff, and it will not happen if we have a spirit of believe that already organize in rules.

So, we will reach brainy Indonesian if there is already balance score between Emotional and Intelligent. As our county’s aim that build in Undang-undang Dasar 1945
