An Appreciation Everyone deserves to be appreciated for his or her achievement. At work, the most common gifts for people who have done their excellent work are Salary increase and promotions. Those ways are believed as the most effective ways in encouraging them for doing the same things in the future. It would motivate them; hopefully they will have a better achievement again. Nevertheless, those aren’t the only ways to appreciate people for their merits. There are other ways that probably more effective in encouraging for both people who have achievement itself and for people who have not. For company that have not sufficient fund for any salary increasing should find the other ways to appreciate an employee’s achievement. It should be the ways that don’t spend much money but take the same effect in encouraging employees. For example, the company may give the employees a special gift that has a functionally benefit to do better work. It could be anything. Suitcase, blazer, pen, belt, or shoot pointer for instance. Those may be simple gifts that don’t take a lot of money, but those can be used by employees in their daily activity of work. They will always remember it, when they were being appreciated for the previous merits. It is possible, an Increasing salary may give workers a motivation, but they probably won’t remember what the achievement they ever had. Simple gifts help the employees to remember when the time and what its reason.

My motivation letter 2 Pertamina, as National Company owned by Government, has exactly same vision and policies of future energy consumption by Renewable energy. Regarding this, Pertamina established new directorate named “New and Renewable Energy Directorate” in end 2014. This policy had aroused my determination to contribute in this directorate. Since February 2013, I have been placed in “Marketing & Trading Directorate” which focuses on downstream channel of distribution; and in here, I handle LPG distribution management in order to analyze the most efficient and effective route. It gives me a comprehensive insight about energy management in Indonesia not only LPG but also other energy resources such as fuel oil, natural gas, kerosene, and renewable energy plants. Besides, during the bachelor degree, my final project was about Digital Control Systems. It was concerning on how to implement a functional logic into an Integrated Circuit (IC). Using Verilog/VHDL code to construct the idea of function, my skill of logical analyzing was excelling. By working on this project which supervised under cooperation between ITB and Panasonic Singapore, certainly I got strong experiences in digital control design. To achieve my dream in renewable energy, I have to study hard from any resources. Unfortunately, I don’t get learning materials I expected in the office; So, I have to search what I need by myself; academic paper from web of university, animation video from YouTube, or webinars from IEEE forums. There are many things I want to learn about. First of all, I want to learn about how to implement a logical control into a renewable power plant device such as wind power or photovoltaic in order to deal with an intermittent generation problem from the sources. The other things I want to learn is how to analyze energy harnessing in a remote area to achieve demand-availability energy balance; one of examples is implementing a smart grid system in electrical system. In addition, I want to learn how to manage a project of power plant construction including market analyzing and energy economics.

My motivation letter Hi all, I am writing this to apply for master program. Hopefully, you have time to check my writing. I really appreciate it. Thanks. I continued on seeking my meaning. Graduating from ITB, I applied to PT Pertamina (Persero). Pertamina is an energy company that has a largest asset in Indonesia. In addition to this, Pertamina is the only one Indonesian Company that enlisted an achievement on Fortune Global 500 in 2013 (122th place) [4]. Fortunately, I passed the entry requirement and received the 1st Best Trainee award [5] in January 2013. From a reliable data, I have seen a fact that Indonesia is heavily depend on fossil fuel. It has reached more than 60% of total energy consumption. Whereas, in some remote areas, you can find a lot of countryside still doesn’t get an electricity plant as their source of life. Furthermore, It is projected that energy consumption from fossil fuel steadily increase year by year with 11% increasing per year. By seeing this, I can assume that in the next 10 years more than 90% of total energy consumption in Indonesia comes from fossil fuel. Indonesia is targeted to harness renewable energy 25% of total energy demand by 2025 [6]. This challenge never been achieved unless Indonesia can manage all of its potential resources. Indonesia has a great potential especially in geothermal energy, wind power, and solar cell. In fact, 30% potential geothermal resources of the world lie in Indonesia; Indonesia has the fourth-longest coastline in the world approximately 95,000 km that can be used for a large scale wind farm; and solar cell system can be applied in many cities in Indonesia. Therefore, I do believe that Indonesia is able to be an independent nation on energy resources. Actually, this is my vision of Indonesia’s future; this is my real purpose and meaning; and I have found it finally. It encourages me for being a driving force of renewable energy harnessing in Indonesia.

Interview Test Tomorrow, I have a schedule for scholarship interview test. It will take 2 days, but we don't need to be there all the time. The time is defined, and everyone has his a range time of schedule. Actually, the interview just takes 1 hour maximum. So the rest of hour should be spent for waiting and waiting. The interview test is about exploring your plan. What do you plan to study, what are contributions you should give to your country, what is your plan after study, and the most important things what the reasons why you choose that program and university. When you have your interview test, just relax and get confidence. Examiner will know who has a strong character and who just feel under pressure. Just say as honest as you can. If you dislike just say you don't like, or if you don't know the answer just say you can't. Just be yourself and let people know who you are. *please correct my writing :)
