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.*****
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 progresswithoutpressure 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.
Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at expertvertex kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.
Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at progressrequiresfocus extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.
Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at momentumdesignlab kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.
Came back to this an hour later to reread a specific section, and a quick visit to forwardthinkingnow also drew a second look, content that pulls you back rather than letting you move on permanently is the kind I want to fill my browser bookmarks with in 2026 and beyond as the open internet evolves.
Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at buildclearprogress reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.
Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at growthmovesforward 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.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at focusunlockspotential extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at forwardtractionhub added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at focuscreatespace kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.
Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at urbanhomestead only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.
Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at directionbuildsvelocity continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at actiondrivenshift extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after brightlifestyle those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at directionbeforeforce prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at happycradle provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at ideasintomomentum added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.
A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at ideasguidedforward maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.
Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at actionfeedsmomentum produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at strategyinplay 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.
Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at clarityfuelsmotion reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.
Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at planetnexus suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.
Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at claritydrivesmotion confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment, sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at progresswithintelligence extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at moveideascleanly added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.
Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at growthpathwaynow extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.
Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at actionwithstructure extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.
Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at buildcleartraction also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
Reading this triggered a small but real correction in something I had assumed, and a stop at brightcurrent extended that corrective effect, content that updates my beliefs through evidence rather than rhetoric is content with intellectual integrity and this site has earned that label consistently across the pieces I have read so far today.
On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at intentionalmovement continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.
Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to actiondrivenoutcomes maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.
Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to momentumbeforeforce kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.
A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at brightdwelling 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.
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at oceanprestige extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to progressneedsstructure continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.
A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at ideasneedpath maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.
Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at visiontoexecution confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at focusconstructor 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.
Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at builddirectionnow reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.
Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at visualvoyage reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at futurevertex kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at focusleadsaction kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.
A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at directiondrivengrowth 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.
Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at pathwaytoaction kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.
Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at growthneedssignal earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.
Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at growthfollowsmovement kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.
A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at forwardthinkingactivated reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.
Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at directionovereffort kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.
Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at executeplansnow extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.
Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at inkedcanvas did the same, when a single reading session triggers multiple downstream actions you know the content has actually moved me beyond the page and this site is moving me at that higher level reliably.
