Kadek Dista; Karena Anak panah  Selalu Tau Kemana Arahnya

“Don’t Judge a book by its cover”

Bagi orang yang belum pernah berinteraksi dan hanya melihat Dista sekali, sering kali salah paham memaknai ekspresi wajahnya. Wajahnya yang cukup tegas, jika diam terlihat sangat serius bahkan cenderung galak dan cukup irit saat menjawab pertanyaan saat pertama bertemu. Namun seperti quote awal artikel ini bahwa terkadang apa yang kita lihat tidak sepenuhnya seperti apa yang kita lihat. Kalau kata Sherina Munaf mari kita lihat lebih dekat. 

Cewek pintar dan penuh perhatian ini benar-benar murid, sahabat yang baik. Selalu bisa diandalkan dan memiliki fokus yang mengagumkan dalam mencapai tujuannya. Dista panggilan akrabnya telah memiliki tujuan yang jelas sejak kelas X SMA. Dista bahkan merasa bahwa materi-materi Matematika dan Fisika merupakan hal yang menjadi passion dia dan nantinya akan menjadi sesuatu yang ia tekuni di masa depan. 

Konsisten dan berprinsip

Beberapa orang mungkin akan menilai cara ini kaku dan kurang fleksibel. Namun, sepanjang yang saya amati, Dista adalah orang yang memiliki prinsip sangat kuat. Bahkan ketika ia sudah berambisi terhadap sesuatu, ia tidak akan “tergoda” untuk melakukan hal lain atau sesuatu yang akan merusak fokusnya. Shout Out kepada orang tua Dista yang berhasil menanamkan nilai-nilai perjuangan, terutama fokus pada masalah utama dan paham apa yang perlu diprioritaskan. 

Journey

Perjalanan Dista mungkin cukup unik dibanding anak-anak kelas 1951 yang lain. Ia pernah mendapat peringkat 1 di cabang, tapi secara konsisten selalu berada di 10 besar peringkat terbaik hasil TO. Melihat hal ini membuat kami cukup optimis dengan kelulusan UTBK. Namun sayangnya, Tuhan berkehendak lain, ia belum cukup beruntung untuk mendapatkan kursi di PTN impiannya ITB/ITS. Cukup menyesakkan dada jika diingat, karena butuh waktu lama pula untuk memulihkan hal tersebut. Namun, uniknya meskipun dia belum beruntung untuk diterima di jalur UTBK. Nilai UTBK dia adalah yang paling tinggi di kelas 1951 dan nyaris lolos di pilihan kedua Teknik Industri ITS. 

Melihat kenyataan tersebut, sempat beberapa waktu ia mengalami demotivasi. Namun karena ia tekun dan benar-benar fight, ia lolos di empat Universitas ternama diantaranya Teknik Industri Universitas Brawijaya, Teknik Industri Universitas Diponegoro, Teknik Mesin UI melalui jalur tes dan Teknik Industri ITS. Bukan kaleng-kaleng sih emang anak ini!

Satu hal yang saya selalu kagum dengan Dista adalah ia benar-benar mau belajar dan ketika ia memiliki ambisi, ia benar-benar totalitas dalam mengejarnya. Good luck Ya Dis! I adore you.

Terlihat keras di luar tapi….

Hal lain yang saya kagumi dari Dista adalah cara dia menunjukan sisi kemanusiaannya. Siapa sangka anak yang cukup dingin diluar ini benar-benar perhatian dengan semua teman sekelasnya, bahkan saya pribadi sebagai wali kelas. Tidak hanya itu, Dista juga dijuluki sebagai ketua kelas di kelas 1951 karena tidak hanya punya jiwa leader yang natural namun juga sosok yang penuh perhatian dengan teman-teman terdekatnya. Ia juga selalu merayakan hal-hal yang dicapai oleh temannya dan bahkan sering membantu temannya jika belum mengerti akan satu materi. Meskipun beberapa sering komplain karena cara dia cepet banget. Tapi FYI, dia gapapa ngajarin dari konsep hingga orang itu ngerti. Salut!

—--------------

Menjelma sebagai sosok yang penuh karisma, tapi tetap memiliki cara untuk bercanda bahkan berbuat hal-hal konyol bersama temannya adalah bukan hal yang tidak mungkin dimiliki seorang manusia. Sosok ini juga yang menginspirasi saya untuk selalu percaya dengan mimpi dan tujuan kita. Dista adalah salah satu orang yang sering saya ceritkan di kelas konsultasi sebagai role model yang baik.  Fokus dan ambisi Dista di bidang Matematika dan Fisika jadi modal dia untuk terus berkarya dan berprestasi di jurusan Teknik Industri  saat ini.

Happy ur Uni Life ya Dista! Semoga kita bisa ketemu dan nongkrong2 lagi bareng anak 51. Kakak bangga banget ma kamu!

gif and quote from PTN Discord's dynamic wallpaper (x)

[queenoftheboard]

I am once more thinking about Eirene and the significance of her name and how I've always found it a little bit strange that the first thing that will pop up in any searches is the association to the Greek goddess of Peace, Eirene - mostly because PtN Eirene doesn't come across as a pacifist. There is also a nice thread on the PtN reddit from some time ago where some guesses for the names of several characters were ventured and although some appear more obvious (NOX, Langley, Kelvin), the only mention there for Eirene is a former empress of the Byzantine empire.

And while I am 100% in favor of queenly aesthetics for Eirene (given the chessboard motifs, Quinn, etc), I never really liked this rather obscure association (I doubt 'empress Eirene' is the first empress or female monarch that comes to anyone's mind these days). As a result, I went back to the Greek mythology and thought it interesting that one of the few surviving statues of Eirene is a Roman copy, which depicts Eirene holding an infant Plutus - the Greek good for wealth. Now - this is more interesting; Eirene is the dominating figure of the Greed libram, and it's what drives her.

That statue is considered to be an allegory for 'Plenty' - in other words, 'Plutus' prospering under 'Peace'; frankly, this makes a lot more sense: while it's true that during wartime there is a financial gain for some enterprises, usually this leads to significant strife for the economy of a country and increased debt to finance war efforts. From a purely business, broader economic perspective - peace is actually more profitable.

And while Eirene (as a character) seems to not be afraid to 'get her hands dirty' (her own beginning battle quote) to achieve what she must for Quinn, she didn't resort to war to get to where she is; in fact, Eirene's wealth accumulates from sensible business choices, trade channels, political connections... Eirene's empire is built on peace (or the illusion of it) rather than all-out war. And then, one last element for consideration made me realize this is actually a pretty damn good name.

Eirene's equivalent in Roman mythology is Pax - and the Roman Empire reached its golden age during the so-called Pax Romana, going as far as inspiring other similar periods in human history where one had domination over the world in terms of geographical reach, cultural matters, trade and so on. The Roman Empire prospered as it had never done so because peace (or what was deemed 'peace' at the time) allowed them to be the strongest they ever were.

In a way - this seems to be what Eirene is doing; she is not seeking to go to war against any government agencies (at least not on the outside). Eirene is effectively establishing her own empire, going from DisCity to Outlands, controlling trade routes, having fingers in all sort of pies in DisCity in several different business segments and benefitting from 'civility' and 'order'.

Honestly - I have no idea if Eirene's name is supposed to be that deep and if Aisno went for all these connections when naming her; but now my mind has done these links, I feel much more at ease with her being named after the Greek goddess of peace.
