What to do to face the global globalisation by Shinta XII MIA 6 / 36

What would you do in 10 or 20 more years

to deal with the global “GLOBALISATION”?

by Shinta Sarisita Wirayang (XII MIA 6 / 36)

What will I do in the next 10 or 20 more years to face the globalisation? In the process of globalisation, the world changes. The world that we will live soon will not be the same as the world that we are living now. Many things will change, the social life, the education, the economy, the political system, and the most changing one, the technology. These changes, sadly or luckily, force us to do something that hopefully can help us to survive from the “world changing”. And what I will choose to do to face the globalisation is to do an “Adaptation”.

We, as human that is created to be the first owner of the earth, can not just stay there and watch our world changes. When our world changes, then we should make a change too. Like the organism, plants and animals that are doing adaptation to survive its environment, which is always changing too, and so we are. Actually, we have done the adaptation in our life, and then the adaptation continues, and without us realizing, we are doing the adaptation, big or little, now.

But what I wanna do in the next 10 or 20 more years to face the globalisation is not just doing those “little” and “usual” adaptations. No way. The world is changing faster and faster. Everyone in this world can do such a little adaptation. What I mean here is to prepare myself to make a big change too, because the world is not waiting for us anymore. The world is changing from a little to giant, from the normal to insane, from the simple to the any complicated thing we have never known before.  So, I tell myself not to be afraid of the changes, but to tell the world “Dare me, world!”. But, before telling the world to dare me, of course I should make a great preparation.

The first thing to be well prepared is my own mentality, mentality to do an adaptation. Mentality is needed to do the adaptation. When the world changes, is my mentality strong enough to face the changes? Or my mentality is just too broke and I will ended up choosing to end my life before my time? Do I already have a unbreakable mentality to adapt in my own environment? The trouble is, we think we have time. It is super great to have some fun in our young age, because this teenage age will never happen twice. But sometimes, we need ourselves to walk through blazing fire, so we can come forth as gold. So in this young age, if I meet the blazing fire,  I won’t run away thinking that all of my happy time will diseappear. I want to adapt and strenghten my mentality, so I can come forth as gold, or maybe the stronger one, titanium. I won’t spoil myself with “always having fun”, I will accept those ordeals of life, those blazing fire. I will challenge myself to be a better me, a better mentality. So one day, when the crazy developed world hits me down, I will be strong enough to rise up and try again.

The second thing to be well prepared is my skill in language. I called this as “Adaptation in language”.  The world becomes global, communication should be developed well, and language will be needed everywhere. So, get hungry about languages. Get educated, take some language courses, take seriously every language class in school.

And the third thing that I want to prepare well is my skill in technology. Globalisation turns the world into the “Technology World”. In the world full of technology, I can not just be a basic one. I will do the adaptation in technology. Learn  more and more about the technology, not being afraid of the changes. Maybe it will be hard, but I will always remember to stop doubting myself, work hard and make it happen. “Work hard on everything that you do.” – said me to myself.

And now to make my words come true, I choose to take Animation and Visual Effect in Germany. Hopefully, my choice can realize those three things I have written before. Going abroad and studying technology in film, which is my hobby instead, challenge me a lot. I am sure that there will be so much “blazing fire” that I should get through there. There will be so many ups and downs in my life and it does not scare me, it dares me a lot. Can I get through everything well? How far can I walk?  I hope that going abroad can build my mentality, and when the difficulties in life come to me, I won’t run away.

And then, going abroad will challenge me to use languages. I’ve already learned Indonesian my whole life, and English and Chinese for about 12 years. And going to Germany will make me learning new languages. It will be pretty good since Germany is one of the top spoken language in the world too.

Being an animator and editor in visual effect forces me to study the technology. Not many people will study this and what I want to do is to develope the film technology in Indonesia someday. I want to master the technology, so Indonesian movie will use technology well for their movies.

I hope that my thoughts about adaptation can help me to survive the global globalisation, and not just survive, but can bring me as a successful person!
