If I Am a Scientist

            Being a scientist may sound as something less required in Indonesia. With salary not as much as entrepreneur, it is not easy to survive only with a capital of just being a scientist. However, for me it is not a significant obstacle. My mindset has stated that being a scientist must be based on the heart, not from the material.

            Moving by the heart is the principle that I use when being a scientist. Maybe I would be more likely to gravitate to physical scientists. For me physics is fun because there are a lots of phenomenon that tend to be created as a fun game. Making things move, making things float, fly, go into space, are the things that impressed me of physics science. Furthermore, at the end of this century there is a new science,  quantum physics. These things increased my faith to the almighty God, and that is what attracted me to become involved in one of those addicted to physics.

            With the heart and knowledge plus imagination to become a scientist, I will create programs that hone the research spirit in the young generation. An example is the Research Camp program where concept will be held a competition for young people to test themselves in terms of research. The benefits derived from this program is not only getting better science research quality, but also the social sciences and the link which there will be many prospective scientists who met and barter their links with other scientists in Indonesia and International. What are the benefits to me? It is that satisfaction because by that program, I will fell to have some clone of myself so I can feel young again. 

            Besides these programs, maybe it is better if I try to make some works of innovation and invention to solve the problems that occur around my residence. Perhaps an example is to create a healthy sewer system that can serve as a source of fertilizer. Thus, what I got is utilized sewer plus a good relationship with the neighbors. It also inspired me to create these works and become scientist.

            The last thing I underlies as the primary motivator to become a scientist is to realize my dream project. A project that will brings me into the atmosphere which is like what I dreamed of as a child. Dream big, even with limited financial, I am sure can be realized since we move with heart. This is the thing that gives me life spirit and getting closer to Allah, the almighty power.
