May peace be upon you.
That was an inspiring session from Aan and Fuadi, WOW!
I donít have any capability to write just like Aan and Fuadi.
But thank you Bukalapak, for this Bookabuku sharing session.
Hopefully, we all can get something from the session.
Introducing, my name Rani Subiantoro.
Rani Siti Khadijah Subiantoro is my full name
A very Moslem name and Iím very grateful of it.
Only 22 years old, just graduated last December.
Me and my team, just start a platform call Bookabuku for the past year.
Itís an Indonesian first physical books lend/borrow online platform.
Anyway, Iím 22. I spend my high school time in Jakarta.
If before, Aan prefer writing because he feels uncomfortable to talk with people directly.
Unlike me, I am very comfortable talking with people.
I like to give my comments here and there.
I also like to refuse something that I donít see right, back in the school.
When other students prefer to sit in the middle,
I choose to sit in the front, itís the only seat available anyway.
When the teacher open the Q&A session, Iíll be the first to ask.
So, Iím a typical of a student who talk back to the teacher, thatís me.
Kind of annoying.
Since then, Iíve been bullied for 3 to 5 years. Constantly!
Back in the high school, start from 7 am to 3 pm. What a torture.
I always look forward to last bell of the day.
I was a very ambitious kid, still am, in my way.
From I was a kid until now, I was labelled with ìsnoutî.
Also, people called me ìfirst ladyî, well thank you for the good wish.
But I donít want it anyway.
Other times they call me ìboss ladyî,
Annoying me said ìwhat are you talking about?î
Called me by other abusive or insulting names.
Back in the high school, when another girl has a boyfriend, I donít.
When other have a chair mate, I didnít have to.
Itís the only chair left anyway. and I was the only one left.
So, I have 2 space all for myself and my stuffs.
You know, girls.
And I didnít have best friend because itís hard for me to make friend, particularly with the girls.
And I donít have much to talk about with the boys.
So, I end up with no friend.
No friend, so who do I convey to? I donít have anybody.
Being bullied make someone stronger, yes!
But at the time I was very weak.
No friend to talk to, canít really share with my parents.
Who should I talk to?
A bus driver, or maybe someone who sit beside me on the bus.
I am a spontaneous person, I can just talk to a random stranger.
Leave me 5 minutes, and Iíll get 3 new friends.
Well I only tell random stories to them.
But can I survive with that? I was 14 at the time,
Can I? No, I canít.
I was diagnosed with some kind of illness,
A psychosomatic I think in psychology term.
I donít know, sorry if Iím mistaken.
But itís an illness that when someone being really pressured mentally,
they show some physical illness symptoms.
The stress cause a lack of oxygen in the brain, high of gastric acid.
And I got scoliosis on my back, itís also get worsen.
On the bad time, I had to take 18 pills a day.
I also do a therapy daily at the time.
An about two years ago, I was diagnosed with chronic depression.
90% case like mine end with suicide.
So, I am the lucky 10%.
I canít share with my parents because the work most of the time.
I have no friends either.
Talk with random strangers, itís good for a certain topic
but I canít talk personal stuff with strangers.
So, what did I do? I went to a bookstore.
There are several places you can go to in Jakarta.
For an extrovert I feel really alone, at the time.
I need something to be my comfort zone.
I know I talk a lot, but I donít want to talk with no meaning.
And I like to learn. I like to get to know something.
So, I go to a bookstore around Senayan.
Itís a great bookstore at the time.
I went to a ëself-->enrichmentí section, my English was poor at the time.
There, I found a book called ì7 habits of highly effective teensî by Sean Covey,
Heís the son of Stephen Covey, itís a very good book.
The books change my life, massively.
These are the first 2 books I read by Sean Covey.
How it changes me? They change my mindset toward those who bullied me.
Donít care about the bullies.
You donít need to be in the cool gang, you can survive on your own.
Go out, find more books, find your own comfort zone.
Join organizations outside the school if you want to.
These books change my mindset so I can survive 3 years of bullying.
But then the bully doesnít stop.
When weíre being bullied, it changes us into some strong-->defensive character.
I carry along this strong character during my university time.
Then it got me bullied again.
But I keep on learning, from one book to another.
Started in 2011, now Iíve been read around 200 books.
Whereas the impact is quite significant for my life.
What kind of impact?
When I was sitting in the cafÈ, killing time,
I watched people around, I kind of curious of what theyíre talking about.
Then I search a book about it, read it all out.
The next time I come into the cafÈ, I can follow people conversation.
I finished a macro economy book for university when I was in high school.
Thatís because book in my only friend.
It gets me thinking ahead of my age.
My mom said, my mindís too old for someone born in 1996.
From reading the books, I get too met people.
People that I aspired to be, inspirational people, and Iím so thankful for it.
I can read 1 to 3 book a week.
Not because Iím a fast reader, but because I get bored easily.
I donít read word by word, I donít have that capability, I donít.
I just skimming through the pages, to come back later.
Move into an easier book to accompany me while commuting in the train.
Then read some poets before I sleep by Rumi or Kahlil Gibran.
Then I get inspired by an activity organized by my Campus,
itís a community development activity,
which we develop a business partnership in a rural area.
We also interact socially with the community in the area.
Then I met with one kid, who said was the smartest in Cibeber (name of the area)
I wonder if sheíd like me to teach her math, my expectation was high.
She agrees, so asked about her text book, and she ask me back, ìwhat is text book?î
I said, ìItís the book where you learn from with some math exercise in it.î
She said she donít have it, then I asked, ìWhat books do you have?î.
She brought me her note book, a thick one. The one she uses for the semester.
Then I asked, where does she get the book from.
ìFrom whole-->market store.î, she said.
Then I said to myself, thatís not a book store.
So, I get back to Jakarta with my friends, and we went to Cibeber monthly after that to maintain the business partnership.
I usually bring along several books of Diary of Wimpy Kid for the kids there.
Now, when I get the call from them, the kid has exceled so much in English,
She even competes in an English Olympic competition.
Thatís just me.
What if all of my fellow students also do the same thing?
How many kids can open their mind and excel in English like she did?
Thatís one story.
And here is my cousin, Kania from Bandung.
Also 22 years old, same with me.
Studying in Parahyangan University.
She studies commerce administration and I study business.
We have one subject in common that is financial accounting.
Thereís 1 rules at my campus,
We can never copy a book, youíll get warning if you do.
So I get the original text book, well itís actually my sisterís.
My sister and I get into the same major, so I never actually buy a new text book.
You know how expensive that is, right?
So, this cousin of mine, she borrows my books if she come to Jakarta.
First she looks through my text books, see if thereís something she can borrow.
Then she looks through my novels, English novels. Again, because itís expensive to buy.
I said to her to take whatever she need.
Iím just glad that in a way, itís free-->up some space in my book rack.
So, the books also open up her mind.
While maybe she thinks twice to buy a book, better use the money for gas.
But the books change her life, she also gets the knowledge that I get from my books.
A shortcoming in our country that is, us who live in big city like Jakarta
Have a relatively better access (to information) compare to other cities.
But when I share my book, my knowledge to other outside the city.
There will be an equality of education, equality of knowledge.
So, we can get smart together, then talks with each other better.
Late 2016, or early 2017, I have my AHA! moment.
I have to start a business, as my final assignment before graduation.
Then my friend, now heís our CEO, Ghiffari, got an idea.
Letís start a business from a problem.
Many ideas appear, health, education, on many other.
Then one ides stand out, why donít we make a business with a great impact.
So, we make a platform to lend/borrow books.
Donít take big profit, at least cover the shipping cost.
Just a little bit incentive to the book owner.
So, we make Bookabuku.
The first online physical book lend/borrow in Indonesia.
Instead of catching dust in the rack, you can make use of your book here.
We handle the shipping from you to the borrower, and handle the book back to you when they finish with the book.
You get incentive from the book you lend, itís about Rp. 5000,--> to Rp. 10.000,--> a book per month for local book.
We envision to enrich the life of the nation by sharing knowledge through the platforms we create.
Currently, beside Bookabuku we also create Bookasession.
Itís a session where you can have a 2 ways communication, but itís not a book review.
Itís something that initiated from a book.
For example, weíre talking about ìThe Four Tendenciesî,
We talk about the human characters, how to implement based on the book.
And if you like to know further, you can borrow the book from Bookabuku.
So far, we cover 9 provinces and 24 cities in Indonesia.
From the platforms, we connect 3000 users who embrace the culture of sharing knowledge.
Book has help me recover from my illness, no more painkiller pills.
I can get through the bullies, because they never really stop.
Now you have the business, covered by media, you get bullied by the ënetizení
So, it never stops. But you can get through with it.
Then my Kania can save some money with her education.
A kid from Cibeber can learn English from Diary of Wimpy Kid.
We make an impact through the books.
So why donít you start now with us?
Together we can enrich the life of our nation.
