Banat Opinyon

The making of a Hero By Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono

IYO ANTOY - Antolin dela Serna - Banat

Ulohan kini sa article gikan sa akong mga clippings nga maoy atong hisgutan karo, nga niadtong panahona, si Yudhoyono mao ang presidente sa Indonesia.

Gamay'ng background. Si Yudhoyomo, a former army general, nanumpa sa katungdanan niadtong October 20, 2004 isip ika-unom nga presidente sa Indonesia, ug unang pangulo nga napili (directly elected in a popular election) ) sa kasaysayan sa Indonesia. He servedtwo terms, from 2004 to 2014.

That’s him, ang author niining essay nga atong pagahisgutan karon, diin atong ma-surmised, or ma-presumed nga siya is an authority on the subject.

Ania, matud niya, “Every society needs heroes, and every society has them. The reason why we don’t see them is because we don’t bother to look.

Heroes are selfless people (dili hakog), sa ato pa, self-sacrificing, magnanimous, ug generous.”

Niining maong mga hiyas sa usa ka hero, aduna ka bay nakit-an nga such heroes around us?Unsa may ilang mga nahimo?

Padayon: “There are two kinds of heroes. Heroes who shine in the face of great adversity, who perform an amazing feat in a difficult situation.”

Pananglitan, ang inflaion nga atong maisip nga nakamugna kanato og difficlut situation, aduna bay hero or mga heroes nga makapahaw-as kanato gikan sa maong difficult situation?

Ang laing matang sa mga heroes, “are those who live among us (sama sa atong mga silingan), who do their work unceremoniously, unnoticed by many of us, but who makes a difference in the lives of others.”

Niay tampo sa google (nindot ni):A hero is a real person or fictional character who shows great courage, selflessness, and strength to help others, often putting their own safety or well-being at risk for the common good.”

Kaayohan sa uban, mao kana ang ultimate goal ug katoyuan sa atong matawag nga unsung heroes, mga everyday heroes, ordinaryo nga mga tawo, matud sa google, “like teachers, nurses, and parents who help their local communities grow and stay safe; firefighters, doctors, and rescue workers who step into physical danger to save lives.”

Sugilanon ni Yudhonomo: “My father was a soldier in then Indonesia’s ragtag (disorganized, irregular and disorderly) army, so in my humble household, the military was our hero, symbolizing honor, duty and nationhood.

“Back then, Indonesian soldiers were combatants who also acted as public servants. They were fierce and conning warriors, but they also built roads and bridges, dug wells and canals.”

Mihingalan siya og usa ka silent heroine nga bayani, nga matud pa, “had nearly an impossible goal: eradicating illiteracy among the isolated tribes of Sumatran jungle.

She knew they would not come to her, so she went to them deep in the forests, live among them as if she were one of them.”

Gisugilon usab nga adunay mga magtutodlo nga mobaktas og tens of miles each day to reach their schools, for a meager pay of $20 a month. Ikaw, mosugot ka ini? “They are all silent heroes. Perhaps there is a hero in all of us. We just need to look,” nagkanayon si Yudhoyono. Ikaw, are you a hero?
