Booksharing in English

“Today is a first time to we to do Booksharing in English” said Miss Lisa (our English teacher) last Thursday in morning march.

Yes, last Thursday was the first Booksharing session in English. Before this, we did do booksharing in Bahasa by the students and also the teachers. This is new program in our school.
Miss Lisa told the story from the book “27 Cerita Hikmah Aa Gym”. There were some stories in this book but miss Lisa only took one story abaut time management. There was a boy. He was a student. He didn’t like math and physic. He said that he didn’t like math because he didn’t like the teacher. And he didn’t like physic because the number and the formula make him confused. So he made a decision to join the drawing class.

After the drawing class, he had a good spirit to paint. One Night, he made some painting but he ran out of crayon. He thougt he couldn’t enjoy drawing if he didn’t have a crayon so he went to supermarket and bought some crayon. He went back home but after he arrived home he thought it can be better if he colud have some snack and drink. He went back again to supermarket and bought some snack. He bought some coffee because he had a plan to paint till midnight.

He arrived at home at 10pm. It was late at night. So he didn’t continue painting. He didn’t get something that night because he spent his time to think a small thing.

I hope we can get something usefull from this story.

Pelajaran di hari Minggu

Seorang teman pernah bercerita bahwa ia pernah bertemu dengan seorang menajer perusahaan penjualan mobil yang sedang mengawasi karyawannya dalam pembagian brosur. Teman tersebut kemudian bertanya seberapa banyak pelanggan yang ingin di jaring dengan penyebaran brosur tersebut. Manajer tersebut menjawab "Tidak banyak mungkin hanya 10 orang".


Teman saya yang penasaran akhirnya mengajukan pertanyaan lagi " Berapa banyak brosur yang akan ada sebar?" . Manajer itu menjawab sambil tersenyum "Mungkin hampir puluhan ribu".


Saat mendengar cerita itu saya jadi teringat keluhan saya dan teman-teman saat mengadakan kegiatan di kampus. "Ah yang daftar baru sedikit, padahal kita sudah menyebar lebih dari 200 brosur" kata salah seorang teman saya dari bagian publikasi saat baru ada 20 pendaftar dari 80 peserta yang diharapkan.

Kalau kita belajar dari marketing perusahaan mobil tersebut, kita seharusnya malu untuk berkata seperti itu. Marketing perusahaan menyebarkan lebih dari 10 ribu brosur hanya untuk menjaring 10 pelanggan. Sementara kita .... Semoga bisa menjadi bahan perenungan.
