Tonight I’m writing my blog right after I watch Matt Mullenweg on Global TV Indonesia.
I’m sure that most of you, WordPress users, must have known who Matt is. For those who dunno, Matt Mullenweg is the creator of WordPress (#1 internet’s Matt according to Google).
When I saw him on screen, I was like OMG! He’s so young!
Yeah, he’s only 25! 5 years older than I am, and he’s already been world’s #16 most important person in IT (If I didn’t mishear what the interviewer said) Gosh!
During the interview, Matt said that initially he was just creating softwares for personal use, but later on it started to be something profitable, and yeah.. he is who he is now..
Not just Matt. Many other young entrepreneurs are available out there. That’s very great!
What I’m regretting is ‘why most (if not all) of those young entrepreneurs are from other countries, and not from Indonesia’. (Well, yeah I’m Indonesian and I’m proud to be one)
I don’t really know why, but I suppose it might be due to our different mindset from people in other countries. What I mean with different mindset is Indonesian youth are not well prepared to improve themselves in ways which are ‘really useful’.
Many of us are still goofing around even when we’re already in college thinking that we still have very much time before we really enter the ‘world’ and the workforce environments. Meanwhile, those youngsters in other countries have already started building their own stances for their futures.
To be frank, I’ll just say that I’m jealous of them.haha..
I wonder when we, Indonesians, can lift our head proudly, standing equally with other young people all over the world, for we can do what they do, and even beyond what they can do.
Just as my fave quote, “If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme” =)
