Brilio.net - Success is not always measured by how big a position or title someone has. More than that, success can be seen from a person's courage to live life by working hard and holding on to principles. This inspiring story comes from a graduate of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) who managed to achieve cum laude, but preferred to trade.
Before choosing to trade, this woman had worked in a company for three years. Because it did not match her principle of liking to trade, this woman finally decided to resign and focus on running her small business.
" I've worked in a company for 3 years, but it turns out that the spirit of a hawker is very strong... the important thing is to get halal money, right? Hehe ," he explained.

Not ashamed to sell amidst the expectations of society which often assumes that graduates of well-known universities must occupy prestigious work positions, through uploads on the TikTok account @aestheticorens, this woman proves that selling drinks and a number of foods is equally good.
" UGM cum laude S1, but only selling ice ," wrote the caption in the video quoted by brilio.net from TikTok @aestheticorens, Friday (22/11).

Taking the UGM Aquatic Resources Management study program with a cum laude degree, of course there is a certain reason why the woman prefers to sell drinks, rather than working in a company. It is known in the upload on her TikTok video, the woman wants to open her own business because it is to empower the people around her.
" Open a business, so that many neighbors and relatives, especially mothers, can entrust their goods to me. This is all on consignment, the only 100% capital is ice and snacks (if I'm not too lazy to pack them), " he added.
