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.*****
Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at focusandexecute also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at claritysimplifiesprogress extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at clarityoveractivity kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at silkstrandly added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at claritydrivesmotion maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.
A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at actiondrive continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.
A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at momentumdesign maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.
Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at forwardenergyflow reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.
Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at nexoravision pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.
Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward, and a stop at intentionalmovement reinforced that subtle shift, the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.
Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at claritypowersresults confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.
Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at broadcastnova extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.
However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at focusfirstapproach 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.
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at growthwithoutnoise extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at progressengine kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.
A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at signaldrivengrowth continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.
Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through modernhavens I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.
Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at focuspowersmovement added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.
Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at progressneedsstructure kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.
Nice to see a post that does not try to overcomplicate the basics for the sake of looking smart, and once I looked at infonexushub the same direct tone was there too, which honestly makes a difference when you are short on time and want answers without long pointless intros.
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at directionbeforeforce carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at brightcapture continued that voice consistency, sites that maintain a single coherent voice across many pieces by potentially many writers represent serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed the institutional consistency needed for that.
Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at focusacceleration 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.
Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to directionsharpensfocus I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.
Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at executeplansnow confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.
Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at urbanriders hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.
Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at growththroughdesign continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at focusoverforce 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.
One of the more honest takes on the topic I have seen lately, no spin and no oversell, and a stop at moveideasforwardclean kept that going, the kind of voice the open web could use a lot more of rather than the endless echo chamber of recycled opinions floating around every social platform these days.
Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at growthneedsalignment added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.
In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at claritymovesideas extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.
Skipped the social share buttons but might come back to actually use one later, and a stop at clarityroute extended that share urge, content that triggers genuine sharing impulses rather than performative ones is content that has actually moved me and not many posts in a typical week do that for me actually.
Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at growthsignalhub reinforced that wish, the few sites I actively root for are sites that produce the kind of work I want more of in the world and this one has joined that small list based on what I have read so far.
Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at thinkingtomotion added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.
Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at actionplanner maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.
Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at directionanchorsmotion reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.
Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at actioncreatestraction adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.
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 visiontoexecution the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at hoppyharbor confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.
Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at festiveglow confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.
Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at directioncreatesadvantage added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.
Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at glossylocks kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at actioncreatespace added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.
I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at playfulorbit the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at focusbeatsfriction sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at ideaswithimpact continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.
Appreciate that you did not pad this with fluff to hit a word count, the post says what it needs to say and stops, and a look at dailyhorizonhub did the same, brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.
Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at activateyourmomentum suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.
A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at strongharbor maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.
Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at clarityfirstaction maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.
