It looks scary, but in fact, it works…

It looks scary, but in fact, it works…

Disclaimer: I am still at the stage of building and applying discipline and have not yet been as successful as students out there.

Hi, I’m Reva Artha.

The first daughter of two siblings. Have you ever felt afraid to start? Triggered by fear of failure and sadness, or even feeling depressed? Yup, that was me yesterday, but not with the personal branding I have been building from yesterday into the future that follows the flow of time. I believe everyone has a fear of starting, but they fight their ego and the fear they have for the sake of the future, right?! I say yes…

The first woman of two siblings was a challenge for me. Why? My challenge was to become a good and successful public figure for my sibling, and in the future, to have a partner with good character and intelligence that is balanced with what I possess. Because, in essence, the most valuable inheritance for a child is the knowledge and intelligence of the parents. A child without knowledge will lose direction and cannot achieve a goal. From this, I realize that knowledge plays an important role in future life. Not only that, in my religion, God has entrusted a mandate in the Quran, which says that:

Islam places knowledge in a very important position. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: ‘Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim’ (Hadith Ibn Majah) and ‘Seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim, and whoever teaches knowledge to someone unworthy is like placing a necklace of jewels, pearls, and gold around the neck of an animal’ (Hadith Ibn Majah). And my main goal in seeking knowledge and dreaming is to repay the kindness of my parents, who have raised me to this point, as well as to make my parents’ names better than yesterday, especially for my mother, who risked her life so that I could be born, for me…

Have you ever started with empty hands? I definitely have… Why?

Entering the world of college with a major that I hadn’t studied deeply in high school, and had only tried for a few days. However, who would have thought? I started college with empty hands, but in reality, I ended up liking my major and my career journey now and in the future. All of that can be achieved through effort and hard work, as well as my discipline toward my dreams. In the past, I was afraid to start, but gradually, time gave me opportunities, and the story of the great struggles of students in Indonesia. I tried to take steps and walk toward reaching my dreams. I realized my goal here is to learn and strive. If I were afraid and just stayed still, how could I possibly succeed like other students? Now, the time has come for me to practice myself in the world by opening an online private chemistry tutoring and educational materials through social media.

I like chemistry, and chemistry is an abstract science that makes me always grow and enjoy every process of the journey given by God to me. If I have started, then what about you? Remaining idle and being afraid is not a solution for you to advance and develop. Make progress to become better and enjoy every journey given by God.

If I can, you must be able to do even more…
