PRABOWO!
Oleh Said Muniruddin | RECTOR | The Suficademic
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
“Prabowo!”, terdengar teriakan barista di sebuah cafee. Teriakan itu tidak hanya sekali. Tapi berkali-kali.
“Prabowo!”. Mungkin itu teriakan ke lima kali.
Pengunjung yang sedang antri terkejut. Kok bisa Prabowo pesan kopi disini. Lebih aneh lagi, Prabowonya tidak muncul-muncul.
Tiba-tiba. Seorang perempuan muda yang sedang duduk di depan saya, memberi isyarat. Ia melambaikan tangannya ke saya. Dari gerak mulutnya terdengar ia berkata: “Pak, nama bapak dipanggil”.
Saya ingat, gadis ini ikut antri bareng saya saat tadi memesan kopi. Makanya ia mengingatkan. Ia tau, si barista sedang memanggil saya.
Rupanya pesanan sudah siap. Saya tidak mendengar. Karena kedua telinga saya tersumpal headset. Saya sedang mendengar audio book. Sebuah hobi saat saya sedang sendirian.
Dengan langkah tegap dan penuh percaya diri saya bangun menuju kasir. Lalu berkata, “Iya, benar. Saya Prabowo!”.
Kasir berkata, “Pak Prabowo, ini pesanan bapak sudah siap”. Dia menyerahkan satu paket kopi dan kue, yang tertera nama pemesannya: Prabowo.
“Baik, terima kasih”, saya sebagai Prabowo tegas menjawab.
Sekitar 10 pengunjung yang sedang antri tertegun. Mungkin dari tadi penasaran. Sekaligus heran. Kok wajah Prabowo sudah berubah. Tidak lagi gemoy. Kok sudah berubah menjadi langsing. Lebih ganteng. Lebih mancung. Lebih Aceh. Lebih Arab.

Saudara-saudara sekalian. Prabowo itu banyak. Bukan hanya Prabowo Subianto, presiden Anda.
Saya juga Prabowo. Sebuah nama yang sering saya gunakan saat memesan makanan.
“Maaf, atas nama siapa?”. Begitu biasanya di resto dan cafe, Anda ditanya saat memesan sesuatu. Tentu saya menjawab: “atas nama Prabowo”.
Anda tak harus menyebut nama asli. Itu hanya syarat informal administratif saja. Yang penting Anda ingat nama tersebut. Jangan sampai lupa saat dipanggil.
***
Begitulah. Anda tidak harus menjadi Presiden. Tapi bisa menjadi Presiden. Hanya dengan memilih sama nama dengan Presiden. Khusus saat memesan minuman atau makanan.
Sesekali Anda perlu merasakan, bagaimana kalau seseorang memanggil Anda dalam nama Presiden. Lalu Anda berdiri dan berjalan sebagai Prabowo. Disitulah rasa percaya diri, sekaligus vibrasi sebagai Presiden bisa Anda rasa. Pura-pura aja jadi Presiden.
***
Sebenarnya, misalnya, ketika orang tua memberi Anda nama “Muhammad”, tujuannya agar Anda merasa diri seperti Nabi Muhammad.
Bayangkan, nama “suci” Muhammad disebut di era moderen. Lalu Anda bangkit sebagai ‘pengganti’, ‘pewaris’, ‘penerus’, atau representasinya. Anda harus bangga dengan nama itu. Anda harus merasa bahwa Anda -pada kadar tertentu- adalah sosok “Muhammad” yang agung itu.
Nama itu doa, agar Anda menjadi seperti orang yang dinamai. Anda harusnya punya koneksi dengan si pemilik nama. Karena itulah, dalam tradisi lokal keislaman, orang tua kita memberi nama anaknya dengan nama para nabi. Mereka berharap, anaknya punya rasa confidence untuk berlagak dan berkarakter menjadi ‘nabi’.
Kenyataannya, kita sering lupa dengan nama kita. Lupa dengan nama yang kita bawa. Sehingga hilang rasa percaya diri. Hilang karakter baiknya.
Nama itu doa. Kalau kita bisa merasakan makna, spirit dari wujud, atau ruh orang yang kita bawa bersama kita. Makanya beri nama yang baik kepada anak Anda.

“Prabowo”, begitu panggilan barista. Lalu saya bangun dengan percaya diri. Seolah-olah mereka sedang memanggil presiden mereka. Dan itu adalah saya.
Dan siapapun presiden setelah ini, itu juga nama saya, setiap memesan sesuatu. Ingat ya, itu nama “kunyah” (panggilan) saya, hanya saat memesan sesuatu di cafe atau resto. Tujuannya satu, biar sesekali saya terkoneksi dengan setiap presiden di negara ini. Biar saya juga tau, bagaimana rasanya kalau saya jadi seorang presiden.
Leadership is confidence. Leadership is connection. Leadership is visualization. Leadership is sometimes all about imitation.
Nama adalah doa. Nama adalah cinta. Nama adalah asosiasi. Nama adalah imajinasi. Hanya lewat nama, kita menjadi berbeda.
Kami di The Suficademic Supertraining mengajari anak-anak Anda bagaimana cara percaya diri lewat nama. Lewat asosiasi. Lewat imajinasi. Lewat visualisasi. Lewat keyakinan dan hubungan. Lihat video-video training kami disini: https://www.tiktok.com/@saidmuniruddin?_r=1&_t=ZS-96qbomNxA5B
Allahumma shalli ‘ala Muhammad wa Aali Muhammad.*****
A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at brightdebate suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.
Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at directionisleverage did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.
A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at buildmomentumwithclarity carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.
If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at moveideaswithclarity reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.
Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at thinklessmovebetter only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.
A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at claritycreatestraction kept the same patient pace, the difference between unhurried and slow is a fine editorial distinction and this site has clearly found the unhurried side without slipping into the slow side which would have lost me as a reader quickly otherwise.
Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at growthfindsclarity continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.
Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at clarityfirstgrowth produced the same second read benefit, content with hidden depths that emerge only on careful rereading is rare in the modern blog space and this site has clearly invested in that level of compositional density throughout.
During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at focustrajectory maintained the same evening appropriate weight, content with depth that does not exhaust the reader is content with editorial calibration and this site has clearly figured out how to be substantial without being demanding all the time.
Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context, and a stop at directionguidesgrowth continued the comfortable mobile experience, content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at buildmomentumwisely extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at growthneedsmomentum extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.
Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at growthpipeline continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.
Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at ideasrequiredirection kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.
Useful read, especially because the writer did not assume too much background from the reader, and a quick look at buildtractioncleanly continued in the same way, a thoughtful site that meets people where they are which is something the modern web could use a lot more of for both casual and serious readers.
If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at moveforwardintentionally extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at ideaswithoutnoise continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.
Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at focusshapesresults showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.
Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at clarityfirstmove continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.
Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at buildmomentumintelligently added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.
Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after focusdrivenresults I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.
However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at strategyandclarity continued clearing that bar, the metrics I use for site quality are admittedly informal but they are consistent and this site has cleared them on multiple measurements across multiple visits which is meaningful for my evaluation.
Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at focusdrivesexecution confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.
Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at forwardenergyflow only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at momentumdesign continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.
Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at forwardtractioncreated kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at ideasgaintraction did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at claritybridge kept that polish going nicely, it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.
Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at buildforwardtraction did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at growthwithintent reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at ideasneedvelocity suggested several more pages I will be marking too, building a personal library of trustworthy resources is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is earning a place on my permanent shortlist for the topic.
Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at forwardthinkingcore confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.
Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at clarityactivatorhub earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at clarityoveractivity extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.
Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at progresswithforwardintent confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.
Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at focusacceleration added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.
Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to actionpoweredgrowth kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.
A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at directionsharpensfocus continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.
Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at momentumovernoise similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.
A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at clarityguidesmotion confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.
Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at actionintoprogress extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.
Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at buildwithmotion extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at growthwithoutnoise produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at focuspowersmovement maintained the same scoped discipline, posts that try to cover too much end up covering nothing well and this site has clearly chosen scope discipline as a core editorial principle which shows up clearly in what I read.
Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at ideasintoresultsnow added a few more I will be testing alongside, content with practical hooks that connect to my actual life is the kind that earns my repeat attention rather than the merely interesting that I forget within a day.
Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at idearoute the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.
Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at ideasbecomemovement kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.
Reading this gave me confidence to make a decision I had been putting off, and a stop at actionplanner reinforced that confidence, content that translates into action in my own life rather than just informing it is content with the highest practical value and this site is generating that action level utility for me lately.
I came here looking for a quick answer and ended up reading the whole post because it was actually interesting, and after directionanchorsmotion I had a much fuller picture, no stress and no confusion just a clear walk through the topic that made everything fall into place without much effort.
Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at focuscreatesleverage extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.
