I am a passionate author and writer. Writing is not just a hobby but a way of life for me. I strive to share my unique perspective with the world with every piece I create. My writing process is deeply personal, often beginning with a single idea or image that I develop and expand upon.

My commitment to writing is deeply rooted in the belief that it has the power to inspire, entertain, and transform lives. I choose to focus on the positive and the good in life, believing that this mindset leads to a more fulfilling and joyful existence. Negativity has no place in my life, as I am dedicated to cultivating an attitude of optimism and abundance.

Of the 30 books I wrote, twenty-two were in the biographical genre. These books are not just about the lives of others, but they also reflect my journey and the lessons I’ve learned from these individuals.

As the saying goes, the contents of a book can change someone. But it’s not just books that have this power; it’s the potential of paragraphs, and sometimes even sentences, to transform lives. This transformative power of writing is what drives me to create, and I hope it inspires you, too.

My writing has the power to inspire, uplift, and bring hope to the world. I hope that through my work, you can feel uplifted and hopeful.

When I write, I make a conscious choice to inspire rather than destroy. I take this responsibility seriously. I understand that words are not just powerful; they carry a responsibility. They have the power to create or destroy. So, I urge us all to choose our words with care and thoughtfulness, fully understanding the profound impact they can have. I value and respect my readers, and this guides my writing.

Because I understand the immense power of words, I choose to write words that inspire and uplift. As Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud once said, ‘Words are not just magical; they are emotional architects.’ They have the power to shape our emotional landscapes and connect us profoundly. It is the power of writing, and I choose to use it to bring hope and optimism to the world.

As the Latin proverb, Volant Verb, Scripta Manent (spoken will be lost, which is written eternally), a book is a historical record that will remain eternal at any time.

Without Words, Without Writing, Without Books, there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity,” Oliver Goldsmith said.

Books are not just stories on paper; they are the carriers of civilization. They hold the collective knowledge, wisdom, and experiences of humanity. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science chips” (Henry David Thoreau).

In addition to the books above, I wrote with several other writers in the books “Kami Jokowi” (Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 2017) and “Kemanusiaan Pada Wabah Corona” (Balai Pustaka, 2020).
