VIP Seat Seminar as a Subtitute of My Interpreting Class

Yesterday I didn't come to my interpreting class because I have to join the final sprint 2001 prudential at Jitec, but I got some lesson of interpreting and experiences at that time. First of all, I would like to tell the meaning of interpreting itself. Interpreting means as same as translating but the different is as an interpreter (she/he) tells the meaning directly into another language, for example: there are 2 persons (Indonesian and American) who want to communicate each other but they don't understand because of the differences language, in that situation I can understand and communicate with those languages so I can help them by interpreting the meaning to another. It was fun in last seminar because not only got the motivation but I also could learn about interpreting through the motivator and the interpreter. The motivator's name is Tony Crishtiansen.

Tony Crishtiansen

Tony Crishtiansen is an inspirational and motivational speaker from New Zealand and I'm so blessed that can meet him in the second time. For me, He is an extraordinary person because he had lost his legs in train accident at 9 years old, although that terrible accident happened he has never allowed it to slow him down in any way. In fact, he has achieved more than he thought, such as: Successful businessman, Best selling author, A qualified lifeguard, Olympic gold medalist in shot put, Second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Race car champion-World's fastest amputee, Qualified pilot-creating New Zealand aviation history, Qualified scuba driver, in December 2002-against all odds-He climbed Mt.Kilimanjaro (Afirca's highest mountain).
            I'm so speechless after knowing about his history and feel so grateful because I have anything (the complete body without any defect), but I also feel shy after considered that I'm not struggle enough to achieve my dreams like him. So many things that I get from him that we shouldn't never give up in every conditions to achieve our goals and we should remember that we are more perfect than him, so it is not your problem to achieve your goal and I'm glad to have many experiences trough Prudential. That's all the lesson that I got from the inspirational speaker.
            In that seminar, I learned how to be a good interpreter trough the first interpreter (Volunteer from Agency). As I observed the interpreter's skills, actually he is not really experienced enough because as long as the seminar he changed the meaning that motivator meant and it could be the big mistaken from the audiences who cannot understand English well. Although the interpreter made some mistakes, I tried to tell the right meaning directly to my partners. So during that seminar I could learn to interpret (to make sharper my skill), also I got the motivation from the motivator. Finally, I feel that I have to get some lesson to be learned everyday because at that time I was absent from interpreting class so I don't want waste my time.

"Guys, remember that we have to be grateful in every situations, Never give up to achieve your dreams, and don't waste your time."
