Pidato Larry Ellison, CEO dari ORACLE, di sebuah acara wisuda sarjana di Universitas Yale.

7 dari 10 orang terkaya di dunia drop out dari Universitas....

Bagi anda yang tidak bisa mengecap pendidikan tinggi, jangan berkecil hati....
Jalan kesuksesan masih terbentang luas di depan mata.....

Bagi anda yang sudah lulus perguruan tinggi, jangan berbangga dulu, karena sekarang makin banyak sarjana yang menganggur....

Bagi anda yang prestasi akademisnya mandek, kuliah tidak lulus2, jangan frustasi dulu... dan yang terutama jangan bunuh diri.. karena kesuksesan hidup anda tidak di tentukan oleh prestasi akademis anda, baca deh buku2 Robert T Kiyosaki, dan anda akan memahami apa yang saya maksudkan....

Bagi orang tua / calon mertua yang mendewakan gelar sarjana, ini suatu perenungan penting...
Mana lebih penting, sederet gelar yang mentereng, namun cuma jadi karyawan, atau tidak punya gelar sarjana sama sekali, tapi bisa punya anak buah yang gelarnya sederet.....

Silahkan di baca dan di renungkan pidato Larry Ellison dibawah ini

"Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please,take a go, look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on the right. Now, consider this: Five years from now, ten years, even thirty years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right,meanwhile, will also be a loser. And you, in the middle?

What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude.

In fact, as I look out before me today, I don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers. You're upset. That's understandable.
After all, how can I, Lawrence'Larry' Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation's most pretigious institutions?

I'll tell you why .. Because I, Lawrence 'Larry' Ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.Because Bill gates, the richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college dropout, and you are not.Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not. And for good measure, because Michael
Dell, No.9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.

Hmmm. you're very upset. That's understandable. So let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. Most of you, I imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you have learned and endured will serve you
well in the years ahead. You've established good work habits. You've established a network of people that will help you down the road. And you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word 'therapy'.

All that of is good. For truth, you will need that network. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy. You will need them because you didn't dropout, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to No.10
or No.11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I don't have to tell you who he really works for, do I?

And for the record, he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late bloomer.

Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, "Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all?"
Actually, no. It's too late. You've absorbed too much, think you know too much. You're not 19 anymore. You have a built-in cap, and I'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads. Hmm. you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this would be a good time to bring up
the silver lining. Not for you, Class of '00. You are a write-off, so I'll let you slink
off to your pathetic $ 200,000-a-year jobs, where your check will be signed by former classmate who dropped out two years ago.

Instead, I want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I can't stress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and don't comeback. Drop out. Start up. For I can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me
off."

Note :
The statistic of Harvard Business School apprentice said that the 10% of the
lowest grade students (including the HBS drop out) become bosses and the 10%
of the highest grade graduates become lecturers and the rest.......become
the employees of the bosses....
It depends on ourselves to see this.......

We have chances along of our life...which one we want to take....
the biggest chance or the smallest one....
High risk is surely high gain.....you know that

Hare Gene bunuh diri gara-gara ngak lulus kuliah ?

Duh, lagi lagi bunuh diri gara-gara ngak lulus kuliah...

Harusnya di sosialisasikan kepada seluruh Mahasiswa & Calon mahasiswa,
bahwa orang-orang terkaya dunia justru tidak pernah lulus kuliah....

Bahkan menurut Larry Ellison (CEO Oracle yg juga tidak lulus kuliah, tapi masuk dalam jajaran 10 orang terkaya di dunia) mereka yang lulus kuliah adalah pecundang dan tidak akan pernah bisa jadi orang kaya.....

Baca tulisan saya di sini

Simpati saya buat keluarga yang di tinggalkan, semoga menjadi pelajaran bagi para orang tua yang lain, bahwa lulus kuliah bukan segala-galanya.


Kasus Mahasiswa Bunuh Diri
Peran Keluarga Sangat Penting
Andi Saputra - detikNews

Jakarta - Bunuh diri mahasiswa YAI Hendrawan Winata, 25, di Kampus Atmajaya, mengundang keprihatinan masyarakat. Keluarga mengakui jika Hendrawan selama ini sangat stres karena kuliah tidak kunjung selesai. Diduga kuat, Hendrawan sangat stres akibat masa kuliah tak kunjung lulus.

"Keberanian Hendrawan untuk mengakhiri hidupnya dengan bunuh diri dengan cara menjatuhkan diri dari gedung menunjukan dia mengalami tingkat stres yang sangat berat. Apalagi bunuh diri bukan budaya Indonesia," kata psikolog keluarga, Kasandra Putranto kepada detikcom, Selasa (16/12/2008).

Guna mencegah bunuh diri akibat masalah perkuliahan, dia berharap keluarga harus tetap menjalin komunikasi meski cuma makan malam bersama sepekan sekali. Dalam pertemuan keluarga itu, perlu pengungkapan permasalahan sehingga bisa saling memahami sesama anggota keluarga.

"Tapi jangan bertanya dengan nada menghakimi. Seperti, kamu ko kuliah tidak selesai-selesai. Tapi dengan pertanyaan yang terbuka seperti, kamu ada masalah apa, apa ada yang bisa ibu bantu dengan skripsimu," ujarnya.

Pendapat ini dibenarkan oleh alumni FE Universitas Jenderal Soedirman Purwokerto angkatan 2000, Pamudji Widodo, yang menyelesaikan kuliah selama 8 tahun 2 bulan. Menurutnya, hal yang terpenting mendorong dia akhirnya lulus adalah peran keluarga.

"Orang tua saya selalu bilang, yang penting lulus, gak masalah lama atau cepat. Padahal saya merasa sangat stres waktu itu karena berbagai hal terkait kelulusan saya," kisahnya kepada detikcom.(asp/gah)
