Menteri ESDM, Ir. Jero Wacik, S.E. Seminar dipandu oleh ketua BEM UNDIKSHA, Ari Anggara, dengan terlebih dahulu memnyampaikan curriculum vitae Menteri ESDM, Ir. Jero Wacik, S.E. Jero Wacik kelahiran Singaraja tanggal 24 April 1949 setelah lulus dari SMA Negeri 1 Singaraja melanjutkan studi ke ITB dan meraih gelar Insinyur dari Jurusan Teknik Mesin ITB dan gelar Sarjana Ekonomi dari Universitas Indonesia. Beliau pernah menjadi Direktur United Tractors, Anggota DPR, Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata (2004-2011) dan sekarang menjadi Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu II. Mengawali presentasinya, Menteri ESDM, Ir. Jero Wacik, S.E. menyatakan bahwa dirinya dengan UNDIKSHA ada hubungan erat secara psikologis, pernah diajar oleh dosen-dosen dari lembaga ini ketika menjadi siswa SMA, pernah membantu mahasiswa IKIP Singaraja ketika studi tour ke Jakarta, pernah menjadi pembicara dalam seminar oleh Jurusan Fisika, dan membantu lembaga ini ketika berubah status dari IKIP Singaraja menjadi Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha. Karena itu, ketika saya diundang dan diminta menjadi pembicara oleh Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa UNDIKSHA, maka saya setujui dan dengan senang hati saya iyakan, kata beliau dengan logat khas Buleleng. Menurut Menteri, kualitas bangsa sangat ditentukan oleh kualitas sumber daya manusianya, dan kualitas SDM sangat ditentukan oleh pendidikan. Terkait dengan pendidikan untuk meningkatkan kualitas SDM dan kualitas bangsa, dalam perentasinya Bapak Menteri Jero Wacik menganjurkan dua konsep yang harus ditiru oleh mahasiswa untuk menjadi orang yang sukses, yaitu Konsep Trologi dan Catur Dharma. Konsep Trilogi yaitu pertama keinginan, kedua kecerdasan, dan terakhir finansial. Untuk menjadi orang sukses maka yang bersangkutan harus memiliki keinginan (will), kemudian harus pintar, dengan keinginan dan kepintaran uang bisa dicari. Sangat salah bila uang menjadi urutan pertama untuk orang bisa kuliah atau untuk menjadi sukses. Karena uang masih bisa dicari dengan keinginan yang kuat dan otak yang encer. Untuk itu mahasiswa harus memiliki keinginan yang kuat dan rajin belajar, dengan keinginan yang kuat dan rajin belajar maka uang akan mudah didapat. Bapak Menteri Jero Wacik memberikan contoh apa yang dialaminya ketika kuliah di ITB. Ketika kecil sangat melarat karena dari keluarga tidak mampu, tetapi keinginan sekolah tinggi. Untuk itu beliau belajar dengan rajin dan ketika tamat SMA sebagai lulusa terbaik, ingin melanjutkan ke ITB dan ketika di ITB rajin belajar, sambil kuliah memberikan bimbingan belajar, dari bimbingan belajar dapat uang untuk kuliah. Materi untuk bimbingan belajar dikumpulkan dan menjadi buku penuntun belajar Matematika dan Fisika karangan Jero Wacik, dan buku tersebut di gunakan banyak SMA di Indonesia. Jadi modal utama untuk suskses adalah keinginan yang kuat dan rajin belajar. Karena itu mahasiswa harus rajin belajar, rajin ke perpustakaan, diskusi dengan teman, dan jangan demo apalagi tawuran antara teman sesama mahasiswa. Demo dan tawuran akan menghambat kuliah dan menghambat masa depan, disamping banyak ruginya. Karena itu mahasiswa UNDIKSHA jangan ikut demo dan tawuran, pikirkan masa depan dengan baik, raih prestasi setingitingginya melalui pendidikan, dan jadi manusia berkualitas, sehingga bangsa ini berkualitas. Sedangkan Konsep Catur Dharma meliputi studi, organisasi, cinta, dan wirausaha. Menurut Menteri Jero Wacik, Catur Dharma ini merupakan empat tugas mahasiswa untuk menjadi sukses. Sebagai mahasiswa harus belajar dan belajar jangan pernah berhenti belajar, karena ilmu itu tidak ada habisnya, selalu berkembang. Disamping itu, mahasiswa juga harus berorganisasi, kerena lewat organisasi kita bisa bergaul dan memiliki pengalaman yang luas. Melalui organisasi kita banyak belajar tentang pemimpin dan kepemimpinan. Selama kuliah mahasiswa tidak dilarang untuk memiliki teman dekat untuk berbagi suka dan duka, mahasiswa mengekspresikan cintanya denga lawan jenis suatu hal yang lumrah dan harus dimanfaatkan untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar. Selama kuliah, mahasiswa juga harus 2
belajar berwirausaha agar kelak setelah tamat mampu berwirausaha, tidak menjadi penganguran. Pada akhir presentasinya, Menteri Jero Wacik menyatakan akan tetap membantu UNDIKSHA untuk menjadi perguruan tinggi yang berkualitas. Bapak Rektor telah menyampaikan pada saya bahwa UNDIKSHA akan membentuk Fakultas Kedokteran. Dalam kesempatan ini saya nyatakan sangat mendukung dan akan saya bantu untuk mewujudkan keinginan UNDIKSHA. Pernyataan Bapak Menteri mendapat tepuk tangan meriah dari peserta seminar. Pada kesempatan ini juga Bapak Menteri Jero Wacik melakukan kolaborasi dengan UKM Kesenian Daerah UNDIKSHA dalam pementasan tari Jauk dengan memainkan kendang. Pada penutupan, Rektor UNDIKSHA memberikan kenang-kenangan kepada Bapak Menteri ESDM, Ir. Jero Wacik, S.E. (IWM)

The seminar was conducted by Students Executive Board (BEM) Ganesha University of Education with the single speaker Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ir. Wacik, S.E., in the Auditorium UNDIKSHA. This event was started by the report from Chairman of the Committee followed by welcoming speech that was officially marked by the beating of the gong three times by UNDIKSHA Rector, Prof. Dr. I Nyoman Sudiana, M.Pd. In his report, the committee chairman said that the seminar was attended by 900 students, lecturers, and UNDIKSHA leadership. The seminar was also attended by Vice Regent of Buleleng regency, Buleleng Muspida, Buleleng Staff Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Dean of the UNUD Medicine Faculty, businessmen, and some society figures. Rector, in his speech, thanked to the Minister of Energy, as the daily activity as a minister he still managed to be present at the invitation of UNDIKSHA students as a single speaker in the seminar. UNDIKSHA Rector stated that UNDIKSHA have a good relationship with Ir. Wacik, S.E. because when the institution changed from a College of Teachers' Training Singaraja became University, at that time he was the Minister of Culture and Tourism who helped the completion of Kepres about the status changes that can be released soon, which was dated May 11st, 2006. Seminar was hosted by the chairman of the BEM UNDIKSHA, Ari Anggara, by 3
delivering curriculum vitae of Energy and Mineral Resources Minister, Ir. Wacik, S.E. Wacik, who was born in Singaraja April 24th, 1949. After graduating from SMA Negeri 1 Singaraja, he continued his study in ITB and obtained his degree as an Engineer of the Mechanical Engineering Department ITB and a degree in Economics from the University of Indonesia. He had been a Director of United Tractors, Member of Parliament, Minister of Culture and Tourism (2004-2011) and now he is being the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources of the United Indonesia Cabinet II. Beginning his presentation, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ir. Wacik, S.E. stated that he has a close relationship with UNDIKSHA psychologically. It happens because he had been taught by lecturers of this institute when he was a high school student, had helped students IKIP Singaraja when this institute held the study tour to Jakarta, had been as a speaker at the seminar that was held by the Department of Physics, and helped this institution when changing the status from IKIP Singaraja became Ganesha University of Education. “Therefore, when I was invited and asked to be a speaker by the Student Executive Board UNDIKSHA, I agreed, and I responded it gladly.” said him with a typical Buleleng accent. According to the Minister, the quality of the nation is determined by the quality of its human resources, and quality of human resources is determined by education. Related to education in improving the quality of human resources and quality of the nation, in the Minister Jero Wacik’s presentation, he recommended two concepts that should be imitated by the students to be successful that is the concept of Trilogy and Four Main Dharma. The concept of trilogy are desire, intelligence, and financial. To be a successful person, he should have the desire (will), then he should be smart, by using the desire and intelligence money can be found. It is totally wrong if we think money becomes the first rank for people if they want to go to college or to be successful, because money can still be sought with a strong desire and brilliant brains. That is why, students must have a strong desire and study diligently, with a strong desire and diligent study, money will be easy to come by. Minister Jero Wacik gave examples of what he had experienced while studying at ITB. When he was young, he was very impoverished because he came from the poor families, but he had high motivation to continue his study. Therefore, he studied hard so when he finished his high school, he was graduated as the best graduation. He wanted to continue his study in ITB and studied more. While he was studying in college, he also taught as a tutor in a course. Money that he got from giving tutoring, he used it to pay the college fee. He collected the material 4
and compiled them as the Mathematics and Physics guided book written by him, and surprisingly that book had been used in many high schools in Indonesia. Therefore, main key to be successful person is a strong desire and study diligently. Students should study hard, visit the library, do discussions with friends, and avoid doing negative demos especially brawl among students. Demonstration and fighting will hamper their lecture and future. Therefore, UNDIKSHA students do not allow to participate in demo and brawl, students should think about their future well, achieve the highest achievement through education, and be a qualified human, so this nation also becomes qualified nation. While, the concept of Four Main Dharma includes studies, organization, love, and self-employment. According to Minister Wacik, Four Main Dharma is four tasks that should be done to be a successful student. As the students, they have to learn every time, and never stop learning, because science is never-ending, always evolving. In addition, students should also participate in organization, because they can get along through the organization and have extensive experience. Through participating in organization, people are able to learn about leaders and leadership. During the lecture, students are not forbidden to have close friends to share the joys and sorrows, they are able to express their love, and that is normal and should be used to enhance their learning motivation. During the lecture, students should also learn entrepreneurship. It is important to be learned because after graduation, they can open their mind, try to become an entrepreneur, and do not become unemployed. At the end of his presentation, the Minister Jero Wacik said he would still help UNDIKSHA to be a high grade university. “Rector has told me that UNDIKSHA will form the Faculty of Medicine. On this occasion, I stated very supportive and I will help the realization of UNDIKSHA desire.” Statement of the Minister received a standing ovation from the audience. On this occasion, the Minister Jero Wacik did collaboration with the Arts extracurricular students’ organization UNDIKSHA by playing the drums in Jauk dance performances. In closing, Rector UNDIKSHA gave memento to Mr. Minister, Ir. Wacik, S.E. (IWM)
