We certainly understand the meaning of the word 'achievement'. Even if we don't know the exact meaning, we may be able to guess or feel what is implied and arises from the word 'achievement'. What is achievement really? Achievement is the result that has been achieved from everything that is done, done, or done (Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, 2002: 895).

Are all "achievements" or "results achieved" worthy of being called an achievement? In terms of language, achievement can indeed be interpreted as the results achieved, regardless of whether the results are good or bad, high or low. However, in everyday terms, achievement is generally considered a good or high achievement. Low or mediocre achievement is often not considered an achievement or an achievement. It is often said that people who excel are people who are able to achieve high or even highest results, while people who are unable to achieve high results are considered not achieving.

As a high achievement, achievement is generally achieved by effort that is not easy and simple. Achievements are usually achieved with hard work and effort, sometimes even very hard. Individuals who excel are usually resilient, diligent, diligent, disciplined, tough, have strong determination, are not easily satisfied, and do not easily give up. People who are spoiled, lazy, undisciplined, and give up easily are very difficult or impossible to achieve.

Achievements are often achieved through a long period of time. After learning, practicing, disciplining, developing themselves, racking the brain, spending money, and spending a lot of energy, people often only achieve achievements in adulthood. This, for example, happens to many sportsmen, scientists and writers.

Achievement is also often achieved through a series of failures. After experiencing failure after failure, the number of which can reach a dozen or even tens of times, new people can achieve achievements a fewteen years later. Failure after failure does not discourage people, but instead spurs the desire and enthusiasm to achieve high results so that later achievements can be achieved. This, for example, is experienced by scientists, entrepreneurs and industrialists.

People who excel are usually judged as successful people. High achievers are considered to have privileges. Privileges are not strictly and necessarily related to intelligence, talent, money, materials, or luck. These features often take the form of determination and enthusiasm and a willingness to try, work, practice, pray, and make sacrifices. That is, the specialty of people who are accomplished and successful generally lies in their willingness to do heavy, sacrificial things (time, energy, thoughts, etc.) and not solely because of intelligence, talent, money, material, or luck.

In this way, achievement is made through a difficult and long process. However, everyone can achieve achievements. Everyone has the opportunity and opportunity for achievement. Achievement is not the monopoly of genius, smart, beautiful, handsome, strong, or rich people. People who in terms of intelligence are mediocre and economically weak (poor) have a lot of high achievements and great successes in their lives, on the other hand there are not a few intelligent people who are rich in the last days of their lives falling into failures, poor, abandoned, and suffer.

Relationship between Individual Achievement and National Excellence

 By  A. Zamroni Sw.

Do one's accomplishments have anything to do with the name or reputation of a nation? Are one's achievements also related to the excellence of a nation? Is it possible that the achievements of citizens are able to elevate the nation's status and at the same time bring national excellence in the international arena?

A person's achievements are clearly related to the degree and excellence of a nation. International achievements achieved by a citizen will encourage the elevation of the nation's dignity and excellence. Through the mass media we know the names of world-class high achievers. Their names stick out with the names of their respective nations because they cannot be separated from their nationalities. The greatness of their achievements also shows that their nation has an edge.

We certainly recognize legendary names, such as Ronaldo da Lima, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, James Watt, Alfred Nobel, Thomas Alva Edison, Albert Einstein, Rafael Nadal, Justine Henin , Valentino Rossi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Beethoven, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Tiger Wood, Muhammad Ali, or Chris John. They are the owners of world achievements who are always synonymous with the name and image of their nation. Every time we see their figures on television or magazines, our memories will automatically be drawn to their respective nationalities. Every time we remember their nationality, we will also understand the superiority of their nation, at least that advantage lies in their respective fields.

1.  Individual Achievement Determines National Excellence

In general, individual achievement determines the national superiority of the individual concerned. We can consider this example: if a school has many students who excel, automatically the school has an advantage over other schools. This is because the combined achievements of the students will form a unity of achievement that represents school achievement. Likewise with the nation; If a nation has many high-achieving citizens, the nation concerned will have the advantage because the combined achievements of the citizens will eventually unite to form and represent the nation's achievements.

The achievements of citizens show a picture of the nation's capabilities. One citizen with an achievement does not represent the superior ability of a nation, but if that achievement is achieved by many citizens, it clearly shows the capability of the nation in question. The number of high-achieving citizens shows that the nation of those citizens has no low ability. In other words, a nation that has many high-achieving citizens will have high abilities. The high ability will affect the level of excellence of a nation in its competition with other nations.

Therefore, the achievements of citizens are important for a nation in achieving capabilities and excellence. The achievements of citizens are very much needed to achieve the ability and excellence of the nation as a whole. A nation needs to have as many high achieving citizens as possible so that the nation has the ability and superiority. Likewise, our nation desperately needs the presence of as many high-achieving citizens as possible so that our nation has an advantage over other nations in the world.

2.  Achieving Achievements for National Excellence

So, efforts to realize the excellence of the Indonesian nation are the responsibility of all citizens of our nation. More specifically, the responsibility to achieve the excellence of our nation in the future rests on the shoulders of the younger generation. In the future, when the competition between nations will be very tight and tough due to the increasingly rapid globalization, our nation needs an advantage. This excellence will be realized if from now on the younger generation starts pioneering efforts to achieve the highest achievement.

If in the future, after adulthood, many teenagers achieve high achievements, our nation will make a lot of progress so that it will also have advantages. Achievements can be made in any field. However, one thing is clear, achievement cannot be attained with half-hearted effort. Basically, everyone has potential. And the potential that we have will result in high achievement if we develop it with full effort and hard work.

Definition of Potential and Types of Potential

 By A. Zamroni Sw.

What is the potential? In English, potential is called potency which means 'power' or potent which means 'hard' or 'strong'. In the Big Indonesian Dictionary (2002: 890) it is explained that potential is strength, ability, ability, power, or power that contains the possibility to be developed.

A.  Definition of Potential

In the same dictionary, potential is also given another meaning, namely the abilities and qualities that a person possesses or exists, which has not been used to its full potential. Thus, potential is a person's strength, ability, ability, or power. However, that power, ability, ability, or power is still something that is stored, hidden, or hidden. The strength, ability, ability, or power has not been developed into an active skill or skill that produces work or performance.

Potential is often equated or identified with talent or traits. So it is not uncommon to say that a talented person is a potential person, or a potential person is a talented person. Potential is similar to talent. However, potential is somewhat different from talent because talent in a person usually tends to have visible signs since childhood.

As a latent ability or power, the potential needs to be developed. Potential development must be carried out appropriately and optimally in order to become a skill or skill. These skills or abilities will be the main means for achievement. If the skills or abilities have been formed, efforts to achieve new achievements can be made.

B.  Types of Potential in Humans

Basically, every human being has potential. And the potential that each person has is different. There are people who have the potential in the form of a strong and agile physique, some have hands that are skilled at painting, some have good voices in singing, some have smart brains, some have hands that are skilled at playing musical instruments, some have a pair of legs. skilled at playing the ball, some have a strong imagination so they are good at writing fiction, and so on. All that exists in humans, but no perfect human being has all these potentials or abilities at once.

The many and varied potentials in humans enable humans to achieve achievements in various fields and different sectors. That is a gift that God gives to humans. The potential is given to humans not only to maintain a minimum life, but also to achieve high achievements that can lead humans to the maximum advances in life for the sake of their dignity.

The potential possessed by humans can be grouped into five types. The five respectively are physical potential (psychomotoric), intellectual mental potential (intellectual quotient), mental spiritual potential (spiritual quotient), social emotional potential (emotional quotient), and mental resilience potential (adversity quotient). The explanation of the five types of potential is as follows.

v   Physical potential (psychomotoric) is the potential possessed by humans in the form of physical organs that can be used and empowered by humans to meet various needs of life (in a broad sense). Physical potential can be developed into various skills or mobility skills, such as sports, making crafts, painting, playing music, and dancing.

v    Intellectual quotient is the potential that humans have in the form of brain intelligence (especially in the left hemisphere). Intellectual mental potential can be developed into skills to calculate, analyze, plan, and so on.

v     Spiritual quotient is the potential that humans have in the form of intelligence to do wisdom. Through mental-spiritual potential, humans can become intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually intact individuals. This potential can be developed into religious skills that make people believe, pious, and do good to others and the environment.

v    Social emotional potential (emotional quotient) is the potential that exists in humans in the form of brain intelligence (especially in the right brain). This potential can be developed into skills to control emotions, motivation, anger, responsibility, self-awareness, and so on.

v    The potential for mental endurance (adversity quotient) is the potential that exists in humans in the form of intelligence to do or face situations in a resilient, resilient, and highly fighting manner. This potential is one of the determining factors for achievement and success because it enables humans to face various obstacles and difficulties well. With this potential, a person will be able to turn various challenges and obstacles into opportunities.
