I want to share a story, a sweet story, from my late father about my Ramadan experience when I was a child.

I and my father usually waited Adzan Maghrib with chit chat and watching television, and there was a habit from us when we were waiting for ifthar time and Adzan Maghrib, we usually switched the channel from Metro TV, his favorite news channel, to TVRI Jabar to hear Adzan Maghrib for Bandung Region.

The uniqueness from TVRI Jabar was the channel only had several commercial advertisement from several products, one of them was “Susu Bantal”, and the commercial advertisement had the same order because as a local TV, it had just a few commercial advertisement with the same order in the same time.

So when the time to Adzan Maghrib was just in several minutes, my father or me, would switched the TV channel from Metro TV to TVRI Jabar, and we would guess what was the commercial advertisement appeared in the time we switched the channel, because what I said before the advertisement was just a few and had the same order. It was a simple game whose my father and I did together.

We would laugh together if our guessing was right. A sweet and simple memory with my late father in Ramadan Moment ☺️☺️❤️ Al-Fatihah for Him..

Last Friday, on February 28, I joined a webinar about “Developing Digital Marketing Expertise for Business Growth” organized by @karier_unpad with the speaker Mr. Rivani @rivaniadinegara , a Lecturer at UNPAD.

Mr. Rivani provoked us, the students, to develop our digital marketing skills using the internet, because for him the best teacher to develop the fast-changing and dynamic digital marketing right now are “Mbah Google” and “Mbah YouTube”, of course besides online courses from formal and informal institution, books and e-books, and university lectures. But Google and YouTube are free-resources and good starting points for following the fast-changing materials and updates of digital marketing.

I want to share a slide screenshot from Mr. Rivani @rivaniadinegara about the digitalization concept of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). It consists of the digital identity, the digital promotion, the digital market, and the digital finance. If the MSEMs could implement this concept, they have a chance to develop their digital marketing implementation smoothly.

For me, I implement this concept to develop Dzikra Yuhasyra’s eCommerce @dzikrayuhasyrasecommerce on https://dzikraecommerce.my.id I try to utilize the digitalization and digital marketing to improve the Dzikra Yuhasyra’s eCommerce services, and one of them is using Midtrans @midtransindonesia as a payment gateway on my website.

Thanks to Mr. Rivani for provoking us! I hope I could improve my digital marketing skills to boost my business growth and also implement it on other occasions and fields.

Thanks @karier_unpad for the events! It’s really insightful and eye-opening..

“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Diwajibkan atas kamu berpuasa sebagaimana diwajibkan atas orang sebelum kamu agar kamu bertakwa”

Q.S. Al-Baqarah: 183

Marhaban ya Ramadhan..

Semoga kita termasuk golongan orang yang berbahagia saat Ramadhan tiba. Aamiin..

Diingatkan oleh Penceramah Sholat Tarawih tadi bahwa goals dan tujuan bulan Ramadhan bukan Lebaran, mungkin kita memang berbahagia saat Lebaran dan itu baik, tapi bukan Lebaran tujuan dan goals dari bulan Ramadhan, tapi sebagaimana dalam ayat termasyur di atas, tujuan dan goals dari bulan Ramadhan adalah tattaquun, “Menjadi Orang yang Bertakwa”, yang bahkan akan dianggap sukses apabila goals ketakwaan itu bisa dipertahankan setelah bulan Ramadhan itu sendiri selesai yaitu di bulan Dzulqaidah, Dzulhijjah, dan bulan-bulan setelah nya sampai bulan Sya’ban lalu bertemu Ramadhan selanjutnya.

Today, on the first day of Ramadan, I also joined CVS Level-Up @cettavirtualsociety about setting goals from Ci Monic @monica_milan Remembering what I said before about goals of Ramadan, Ci Monic also encouraged us to be consistent about reaching our goals. Be disciplined and consistent, but also make the journey fun and enjoyable, as we try to achieve the goals of Ramadan which is tattaquun, become a person with Taqwa.

Let’s celebrate this Ramadan, and achieve our goals! Yes we can!
