Biography Dahlan Iskan (Leader Newspapers Jawa Pos and Director PLN in Indonesia)

Dahlan Iskan (born August 17, 1951 in Magetan, East Java), in his book Heart of Change is an interesting story about the date, Dahlan said that the date is written solely by Mr. Dahlan because at that time there was no record of when his parents were born and also do not remember the date of his birth. And why Mr. Dahlan vote on August 17, due to coincide with the date of independence of Indonesia and so easy to remember.

Small Dahlan raised the rural environment of scarcity view, but very strong religious atmosphere. There is an interesting story I read in his book Heart of Change that describes how all his shortcomings as a child. Small Dahlan told there have only one pair of shorts and a shirt, but still has one glove!.
And the joke-joke pack fresh Dahlan told the greatness of his holster owned. Here he was told that the glove could be anything. Starting an instrument of worship, seeking sustenance, entertainment, fashion, health until it becomes a tool to frighten.

If small Dahlan again washing clothes, gloves can placed the upper body. Then again wash the pants, gloves can be made subordinate. Then again looking for the remains of harvest of soybean fields of the rich, it can be used as glove bags. If stomach again hungry and no food at home, a sarong can be fastened tightly dipinggang he became a reliable booster stomach. If you want to pray he became an important object unutk the Lord. If more cold, he became a blanket. If the gloves were still able to rip stitches. If the place was torn stitches again, still could be patched. If any torn tambalanya, gloves were not necessarily going to retire. Could still torn up again, large parts can be used as a pillow and a small part can be used as baby diapers. There are lessons we can learn from his story, that whatever our condition, good enough, enough or more we must remain grateful, patient, and should enjoy it all with what it is.
