Integrity Lesson

Ah finally, I’ve watched End of Watch. It’s the movie told about two cops spend their days recording the missions. The movie started with the dubbing sound told that this car chasing scene is like a daily activity, their great mission to stand for the law enforcement. It was a glimpse reminded me to a song All Cops Are Gods sang by Bars of Death, a hiphop squad from Bandung. The song ironically tell the bitter thruth about cops betrayal. How some cops are cruel, evilous and act as they are the law it self. Oops, they are gods, not only law. That what the song tells us. But then I’ve found that the cops in this movie, is not like that. The cops in End of Watch, are heroes.


Let me introduce you to Brian Talyor, a member of Los Angeles Police Department. He has a hobby, record everything he had on his activity as police. Revealed a murder, chased a drug syndicate, or saved a baby from burnt house, he passed it clearly and record it as well. The footage from this guy, is what we saw along film. But not only a picture from his camera, video from his colleague is shown too. Michael Zavala, is his mate. Those police, has to fight with a lawbreaker with their revenge. But then one thing I impress from their action is, integrity. Although it was out of my expectation, I was satisfied enough.



It was in the end of 2014. There was a new movie titled Fury. Came along with Interstellar, I have found Fury is an important war movie to watch. I saw that one in Makassar, when I was on a reporting duty. This movie was nice. It was told about a tank squad whom tried to survive among the war against Nazi. The team leader shown a strong character. It was Brad Pitt. He insist his team member to be brave to fight against the more modern tank. He was trained his new team member that hasn’t been at war before, how to survive. And once again, I was impressed by integrity they shown on the movie.

So what’s another same thing from those two? It was the director, David Ayer. One of my favourite movie reviewer told that there are one important movie that we have to watch if we like Fury. It was End of Watch. But although End of Watch is not as good as Fury, spent time on those two movie is remained a unique impression. Strong characteristics. That’s another red line that I saw on those David Ayer’s work. Well, maybe I lost one or two another things that make us learn from those movies. So, why don’t you help to find another one? Go watch it!

Time As Nonrenewable Resource

TIME AS NONRENEWABLE RESOURCE

Written by: Rheza Ardiansyah

When we were kids, we were teached that there are two kinds of natural resources: resources that can be renewed and resources that cannot be renewed. The example of renewable resources are trees, air, water, etc. The example of nonrenewable resources are gold, coal, oils, etc. We only know that the resource is exist in a physical form. In fact, there is one more example of unrenewable that we have. The resource is called TIME.

The definition of resource is things that potential to increase human’s quality of life. Time has it. If we use our time effectively, we will increase of our life quality. Time is a vital resource that we have, because it cannot be reversed. People who can manage time effectvely will get a huge advantages. Japan for example. It become famous and be a good nation because they have a good management style in using time.

Time is one kind of resource. If we have so many resources, we will become rich. For example, if we have a mine, surely we will be rich. So do if we have a water company. The probability to become generous will be greater. Yet we have a simple question. Will we become “rich” if we have so many times?

Egypt is known as the oldest nation in the world. The civilization has exist even thousand times ago. According to that fact, we can conclude that Egypt has so many times, so it must be the best country in the world. The truth is so many younger nation is more prosper than Egypt. Why it happens?

About 1960’s, Nigeria has the same condition as South Korea. But now, South Korea is better than Nigeria. The secret lies in the way they use their time. The secret is also become an answer for the question about Egypt above. The point is not in how many times that we have, but how effective we manage our time.

One way to manage time is make an activity plan. But it will become useless if we don’t apply it in a real life and always late. We have to be dicipline. We have to committ to the plans that we made because it shows how good the quality of ur time management. If we pretend that being late is a normal situation, we will face the abnormal usage of time that will affect the quality of our goal.

From now on, we have to be serious in managing time, because the result of our goals is depend on the proccess, and the proccess is about how we use our time effectively that can be applied in dicipline, like not to apply our plan lately. Yes, being late is wasting our nonrenewable resource.
