About Me

My name is Yusuf Aria Putera. I’m a son to Muhammad Arsyad Mujahid and Doria Anwar and a big brother to Utami Aria Puteri and Rahmi Aria Putri. I’m an Indonesian citizen with Minang blood flowing in my veins. Like most of Indonesians, I’m a Muslim and proud of it. Being born in this country is one of God’s greatest gifts to me. It’s the country where I can discover the greatnesses and beauties of God’s creations, including the splendid meanings of difference and tolerance.

I was born in Jakarta about 23 years ago. I spent 14 years of my childhood life in Bangka, a little island on the east of Sumatra with a lot of beautiful beaches. I also had been living  in Bandung, a city where the beauties are everywhere, for 9 years. Since  March 2008, I live in Jakarta. It’s the city of challenges. My objective of moving to the city is to pursue better educations. Of course I’m not planning to be in this place for the rest of my life. I have an obsession of going overseas or everywhere that provide me chances to learn about every different new things that I couldn’t find in this country.

After finishing my study in Institute Technology of Bandung majoring Electrical Engineering, I’m currently in my first year of postgraduate study in Prasetiya Mulya Business School. To me, education is a very important thing. And during my ups and downs in life, I find out that education is not about what you learn, but it’s about how you learn it. It’s not about the outcomes, it’s about the process. It’s simply because happiness is not a destination, it’s a voyage.
