7 Habits of Highly Effective Adeniumania

Artikel menarik ini telah dipublish pada milis Adeniumania dan ditulis oleh moderatornya sendiri Argy. Seperti halnya Covey yang banyak mengajarkan pikiran dan ide-ide yang sangat universal, diharapkan tulisan ini dapat memberi insprisasi betapa pentingnya kegiatan eksplorasi dan terobosan-terobosan baru dalam pemuliaan adenium.

Salam Adeniumania,

Berbagai permasalahan dan pengalaman sudah begitu banyak di-share di milis ini (juga di milis tetangga tentunya). Mungkin tidak semua bisa terjawab dengan memuaskan karena begitu banyak perspektif yang harus ditinjau. Karena pengalaman harus diuji secara empiris, dikaji nggak hanya tekstual (teoritis) tapi kontekstual (praktis). Tidak ada jawaban yg 100% tepat, karena resep’ yg tepat dan ‘super-jitu’ belum tentu sesuai dengan kondisi yg ada.

Dalam minggu di awal bulan Mei ini saya akan posting beberapa topik bertajuk ’7 Kebiasaan Adeniumania yang Sangat Efektif’ (7 Habits of Highly Effective Adeniumania) poin demi poin. Saya sengaja menggunakan bahasa yg tidak terlalu ‘botanist’ atau ‘agriculturist’, karena selain karena saya tidak kompeten dibidang itu, juga saya yakin, dimilis ini lebih banyak orang awam (termasuk saya) dari pada yg sudah pakar. Harapan saya Adeniumania, terutama yg pemula bisa terinspirasi oleh tulisan ini. Kritik, saran dan tanggapan sangat dihargai.

Maju terus adeniumania!

Like Covey teaches a lot of thoughts and ideas that are very universal, it is hoped this paper can give insprisasi importance of exploration activities and new breakthroughs in breeding Adenium.

Adeniumania Regards,

Various problems and has so much experience to share on this mailing list (also on the mailing list neighbors of course). Maybe not all can be answered satisfactorily because so many perspectives that must be reviewed. Because of the experience must be tested empirically, not only textual studied (theoretically) but contextual (practical). There is no answer, 100% right, because the recipe 'nail on the head and' super-accurate 'does not necessarily correspond to existing conditions.

In a week in early May, I will post some topics titled Adeniumania '7 Habits of Highly Effective People '(7 Habits of Highly Effective Adeniumania) point by point. I deliberately use language that is not too 'botanist' or 'agriculturist', because other than because I am not competent in the field, also I believe, this dimilis more lay people (including me) of the experts who have been. My hope Adeniumania, especially beginners who can be inspired by this paper. Criticism, suggestions and comments greatly appreciated.

Adeniumania go forward!
