moral messages we can learn from najwa shihab
1. Najwa teaches us as young people to find and live in our own passions.
While we are still young, we must find what we love. The thing or field that makes us more passionate about it. Whatever our passion is, even though many people or obstacles come our way, we must still follow our heart and make ourselves happy.
2. From her short career journey, Najwa also teaches us to always persevere in whatever we do.
Najwa started her career in 2001 and still carries out her passion until now in the field of journalism. That's where she teaches us to always be diligent in whatever we do. In school, college or work, do everything diligently and wholeheartedly. There are no results that betray the effort.
3. Najwa teaches us that while you're still young, join many activities that improve your quality and expand your network.
Since school, Najwa has been very active in joining organizations. You can see that she always likes to improve herself and expand her network from these activities. As young people, we should also improve ourselves by joining various organizations or even useful communities.
From there, we can know our weaknesses and strengths so that we can get better.
4. Because Najwa has lived abroad for her education, she teaches us as young people to step out of our comfort zone.
As we all know, Najwa took her master's degree in Australia. She teaches us as young people to get out of our comfort zone. Living away from family, different seasons, being a stranger in a new place is certainly not easy. But, by getting out of our comfort zone we can become more assertive and dare to determine whatever happens in our own lives.
5. Najwa, who studied journalism even though she studied law, teaches us to be willing to learn new things.
Sometimes, not every major we take in college is our true passion. There are also many economics students who later became fashion designers. The point is, don't be stuck on what your education is or what you graduated from. But follow your heart and pursue your passion.
You'll find yourself developing far more than settling for what you don't like.
6. Najwa, who became the Indonesian Reading Ambassador for 2016-2020, teaches us as young people to increase our interest in reading.
He teaches us as young people to always increase our interest in reading wherever we are. Be willing to learn and don't feel smart. He proved that books are our only way to penetrate space and time without much cost.
