Achievement is not the only measure to succeed. Another important thing is being able to try.
Success does require struggle. Moments of falling into a whip get better. The principle that success cannot be awaited but must be picked up must have a struggle for success.
That is what Yoses Hartono (19) has. After successfully rising from the rigors of life, now he often attends various events to share his inspirational life stories.
Joses is an ordinary child. His parents were only chicken noodle sellers. Graduating from elementary school, this Tangerang-born child intends to enter one of the favorite schools in Jakarta which is famous for its sports. Understandably, Yoses really wanted to be a famous soccer player.
"But at that time my SD National Examination was only 13, even though I could enter at least 25, it was very far," Yoses explained to brilio.net, Wednesday (9/23).
Not only did he fail to enter dream school, Yoses also failed to enter football school because he did not pass a medical test. His parents then decided to send Yose to school in the Central Java Purwokerto area following his brother who had lived there. At the age of 12 years, this young man who was born in Tangeran was released by Tangerang-Purwokerto bus himself.
In Purwokerto, Budi Hartono and Priyanti's children tried to live independently. Busking, washing dishes in restaurants, until sleep is not permanent, he once lived to survive. In addition to being a radio announcer in the Purwokerto area, on the sidelines of junior high school, he tried to learn various musical instruments automatically so that he could sing to earn money.
A strong intention to learn music is delivered. Yoses managed to study several musical instruments in two years. But worse, because of his fun with his activities outside, he did not even pass the National Middle School National Examination at that time. Youth who were born on November 5, 1995 became the only students who did not graduate at school. Although he is one of the event organizers at the end of the year and performers. Feeling ashamed of not passing the National Examination, Yoses decided to return to Tangerang.
Luckily, he can get a school that accepts it without repeating class IX again. From high school he got an injection of motivation while finding his passion.
"At this high school I was really taught about the purpose of life until finally I knew if my passion was music," explained the youngest of five children.
He then ventured to teach music from house to house with his own Yoses Music Center label. Shortly after he was also asked by his school foundation to teach at the School of Art. In addition, he also often filled out invitations to fill events at weddings and events.
From his musical experience, Yoses then developed himself by producing his own album. With support from the School of Art, he was able to launch a spiritual album containing 10 songs he made.
Because he had an inspirational story, he was then asked to tell his story of finding life goals in several areas. In fact, he was also sent to Thailand and Africa to play music and share his life experiences.
