Revenge To Failures

Words of Wisdom by Dahlan Iskan

How do leaders deal with their failures? I heard that I'm always considered to be a cold handed man, always being successful person, or everything I've done were always worked well, if I was the person who handled.

Those assumptions actually are not entirely correct, I often also failed. In fact, I often lead a business, or a business unit, in which it lead to a total failure business. That's because no one had never been asked my failure sides. Generally people just asked for my success stories.

Actually I do much errors too. I also do lots of failures. But instead of giving up, I always learnt from my failure. I analyzed why it was failed. I felt very strongly that I should be able to bury all of my failures. I also should be able to get revenge to all of my failures. And then it will be covered with lots of success stories in the future.

Do not be afraid of making failure! As long as we want to learn from it. Do not despair! As long as we are determined to get revenge to all of our failures.

Dahlan Iskan for PoRI 2014

Dahlan Iskan was born on August 17, 1951 in Magetan, East Java, former Jawa Pos CEO. His son, Asrul Ananda was succeeded him to become CEO of the biggest newspaper based in Surabaya.

Former Managing Director of PLN (State Electric Company) since October 19, 2011, due to ask by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) to become the State Minister of BUMN (State-Owned Enterprises), is the right figure to succeed SBY to become PoRI (President of Republic Indonesia) for 2014.

One of the most famous book written by Dahlan Iskan titled Ganti Hati (Replacing Liver) in 2008, which was based on his personal experience, living with a transplant liver, became Indonesian best seller book. He wrote the book after he was performing liver transplant operations in China, which has managed to inspire many of Indonesian people, that there's always a sunlight after the rain.

The one that I love from him was from lots of his innovations since he became Managing Director of PLN. Also he was not based from any political party in Indonesia, just like Budiono, the vice PoRI. The non political party based figure is sometimes more concern to what actually happen in their own neighbourhood.

If Dahlan Iskan doesn't become the candidate for PoRI in the next Indonesian national election on 2014, I guess must free myself to not giving my vote. Because my best figure for PoRI 2014, who is SBY, can't be voted again for the 3rd times.
