I thing that the most difficult thing to learn is to learn about your-self, to know what do you want exactly, to understand what you need, and to describe what you want.

But as you know, it all about you and by your own perceptions.
And talking about “personal branding”, your own perceptions is not the most important, because “It’s not What You Say, It’s What They Say about You”, the most important now is their perceptions.

Soehardi, a 53-year-old Indonesian pilot living in Singapore, and his wife, Peggy, look after 47 children at the orphanage. They have a personal relationship with each one, and consider them part of their family. The couple named many of the children since they entered the orphanage as babies — some of them tiny victims and refugees from the conflict in East Timor. – CNN

Saya mendapatkan info yang membanggakan ini dari teman saya Budi Putra (Country Editor for Yahoo! Indonesia), info lengkapnya dapat anda baca di Indonesian CNN Hero Budi Soehardi

Sekilas saya cuplikan disini:

Budi Soehardi bagi saya adalah salah satu orang yang memberikan inspirasi akan kepedulian kepada sesama, rela melakukan kebaikan untuk orang lain, a noble nature, yang bisa ditularkan kepada orang lain.

Hopefully, I could do something like this in the future… (budi putra) … and honestly i do hope the same thing (catur pw)

Saya menulis artikel ini sebagai tanda kepedulian kepada sesama, berbagi informasi tentang kegiatan mulia yang dilakukan oleh Budi Soehardi, dengan harapan banyak para pembaca blog.caturpw.com akan tergerak hatinya untuk lebih peduli terhadap sesama.

Banyak channel gerakan kepedulian yang dapat anda ikuti, seperti Roslin Orphanage oleh Budi Soehardi, support Books for Hope untuk mensuply kebutuhan buku pengetahuan (english and indonesia language books), coinachance.com , blogger peduli , dan masih banyak lagi gerakan/ kegiatan sosial untuk berbagi dan peduli sesama.

Salah satu gerakan kepedulian yang saat ini sedang mengusik rasa keadilan kita. Keputusan Pengadilan Tinggi Banten untuk Prita Mulyasari diwajibkan membayar Rp 204 juta, menggugah kepedulian para blogger Indonesia dengan munculnya gerakan “Koin untuk Keadilan”

Pengumpulan koin bisa disalurkan secara langsung ke 2 tempat yakni di WETIGA, Jl Langsat I/3A Kebayoran, Jakarta Selatan dan Markas Sehat, Jl Taman Margasatwa No 60, Jatipadang, Jakarta Selatan, dengan nomor kontak (021) 7800271

Intinya disini adalah “kepedulian”, mari kita buka lebar-lebar pintu kepedulian terhadap sesama
