One hundred four years ago, a national movement leaders such as Dr. Soetomo, dr Tjipto Mangunkusumo, Ki Hajar Dewantara never know exactly when Indonesia will be free. But they knew that the gates of freedom will come about. Which should continue to be made is how to continue to foster a spirit of independence. That's what makes them then established Boedi Oetomo.
Only with a strong sense of the rise of Indonesia, the major goals that will be achieved. "We are what we think we are," said the English maxim. What we think, then that is what will eventually happen.
Thirty-seven years after digulirkannya movement "Boedi Oetomo", achieved an independent Indonesia. What are the ideals of the nation's leaders, occurs when Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta proclaimed Indonesia's independence.
Now the ideals we want to accomplish is certainly no longer independent. Expectation that we must continue to surge is the rise of Indonesia to bring no less than other nations and provide a better life for all people of Indonesia.
We have the ability to improve the life of all people. What is needed is a concern that we must go forward together. Should not be any of us are greedy and want an abundant life alone.
National concern that is what is lacking today. Erosion of the spirit of nationalism makes us no longer feel as a nation. Selfishness is so strong makes us always want to win themselves.
In the warning "National Awakening Day" on May 20, we have to surge back our sense of togetherness as a nation. Simultaneously we surge resurrection of all people to achieve a future with a better one.
The whole nation in the world always use momentum to evoke a sense of national unity. On occasion, we reaffirm as a nation that landed one water, one nation and one language.
So far, we always made light of national commemoration. We never use that momentum to evoke a sense of nationalism and build a national concern. As if these activities are considered a waste of time and is out of date.
Yet because the busyness of everyday life, we often become complacent. We forget that we live as a nation. We forget that some of our relatives left behind. When we forget them, then they will be falling further behind and eventually became a burden to the nation.
Moreover, we are living in an increasingly open world. Competition among the nations of the world can no longer be avoided. Only those who are most ready, to be able to survive and achieve progress.
In comparison, last May 19 commemorated Youth Day in Turkey. That day is considered the beginning of the rise of the Turks to gain their national independence.
Yesterday afternoon in the city of Antalya, in southern Turkey, the rain fell. But people in Antalya budge. In the midst of rain they still gathered in the center of town. While waving the Turkish flag, they commemorated Youth Day with enthusiasm.
Youth Day should not be done with an official ceremony. Simply by setting up a stage for the orchestra team. They listen to national songs. When the Turkish national anthem is played, everyone was standing wisdom and come sing it out loud.
Not only do the ceremonial, Turkish society is also building a national concern. Such as furniture made businessman, Saylim Yuva, he set aside money each month to help residents who can not afford education.
Saylim say that there is no obligation of the state to its citizens to do that. But he and some fellow businessmen do it, because it recognizes the importance of education for the citizens of Turkey. Responsibility to lift those left not just the responsibility of the state, but also the responsibility of citizens who are living.
Istiqbal furniture company owner can not be forgotten that he had been living in need and can taste college for aided entrepreneurs who cares. Now when he was living well off, if he is also rightly concerned about the education of those in need.
According Saylim, every day must face different challenges. One form of nationalism that can be done is to continue to bring people a sense of concern for fellow children of the nation.
The simple lesson is delivered Saylim deserve to make us reflect on anniversary of National Awakening Day, today. We need the presence of national concern, because there are many citizens of our nation who live in need. We should not allow people that do not taste education.
With opportunity for all people to be able to continue his education, then we open up opportunities for many people to escape poverty. Education has been proven to lift people from poverty. We have many residents who can provide education to others. All it takes is a concern to do it as part of our contribution to the nation and state.
