Sudah beberapa bulan pandemi COVID-19 di Indonesia berjalan, saya selalu berpikir kira-kira apa yang bisa saya lakukan untuk membantu. Memang saya ikut mematuhi himbauan #dirumahaja sesuai arahan pemerintah dan perusahaan tempat saya bekerja. Namun, saya merasa mungkin ada hal lain yang juga bisa saya kerjakan. Kegelisahan ini akhirnya terjawab saat saya menerima telepon dari CEO …
Kadang Bukan Soal Cepat-Lambat, Waktu Kadang Memang Belum Tepat
“A bit late for you to start this” - “Kamu agak terlambat, tapi ga apa-apa” adalah 2 kalimat yang saya terima dari 2 orang yang cukup saya hormati.
