So SWA magazine, an indonesian magazine has just listed 50 entreprenerus currently gaining respect and recongnition for their contributions to the indonesian business and economy. Its great to see these indonesians not moving out of indonesia to gain success but looking inside and finding opportunities within.
I am indonesian and i left indonesia to come to australia when i was about 4 years old because parents saw opportunity in australia. They were right and im very happy that they took this step and considered my well being as a major factor to move out from indonesia even though they were well off and were more then comfortable where they were.
Even though i live in australia now, speak with an australian accent and was educated in australia i still speak indonesian *rather* fluently (specially after my stint working in indonesia) still hold an indonesian passport and still feel patriotic about proud to see successful indonesians (expecially our students that won gold, silver and bronze at the world academic olympiades).
I love australia because its the country where i have been educated and were i learnt everything that i know however i also love indonesia because alot of who i am culturally, including my views and preferences is because my parents brought me up in the indonesian way.
I hope that one day if i become a successful entreprener i can contribute to indonesia in whatever way i can and that i can also share alittle corner on the pages of SWA magazine with other successful indonesians who have made a name for themselves through hard work, clever ideas and with the willingness to succeed.
Congratulations to all the guys in the magazine ... you should be proud :)
