One of the pockets of poverty
in Jakarta at the time. The house is home Chairul grandmother, from his mother,
Halimah.His mother is a person who rarely complained about the conditions, any
difficult family circumstances. But then, Chairul see the look on her face
wistfully, not cheerful and looked tired. After being asked, rather urged
Chairul, a new mother say: "You have a little money, Rul? Exhausted mom
money for shopping later in the morning is not there anymore. There is
absolutely no ".(Do not tell clearer finally got a solution from which,
however we know that in junior high school age, Chairul've realized how hard
their parents, even for daily meals., And her mother is a figure that is very
resilient to undergo the rigors of life).Waiting for Mr Round Zakat FitrahOne
day when I was a night takbiran eighth grade. Anxious waiting for the father
who had not yet returned. I was alone waiting for him at the end of the alley
while praying that this time he took the money to tithe our family.Glazed look
takbiran night euphoria. Peers are happy, some of them even hired a rickshaw
around town.Several times it was dripping tears, it felt very claustrophobic.
There was a neighbor who noticed and was going to give zakat, I refused.
"Oh God, we're still standing strong.
Although it does not have the money,
we were still able to find, "I thought.Alhamdulillah, the last minute
before the prayer, the father finally came home and gave some money to pay
zakat our family.At 3:30 am I wake mosque officials who were asleep in her bed
and handed the money. After that relief. Immediately rushed to the mosque for
Id prayers even without new clothes like other friends. Allahu Akbar! Completed
our duty, O God! "Not participate Study Tour to YogyakartaGrade 3 Junior

coordinator carefully and farewell his friends in the school yard, the pain is
hidden tightly as possible.Ms. Fine Fabrics mortgaged as TuitionEnroll in
community college is the only option to go to college at that time, because
there are many options for continuing in the private universities. If anything,
the cost is very high. So if it is not accepted in the country, street address

smiled and gave the money needed. Then in 1981 Chairul registered as a student
of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Indonesia.Sunday early entrance to
college, Chairul Force was asked to become Chairman of the Student-FKG UI, or
the nickname General Force ". It could be due to the tall stature, and of

claims often eat in the cafeteria CM "cepek Cheap" Toyib point with a
half portion of rice, vegetables, tempeh / tofu, all feels good and make him
happy.Until one afternoon, his mother, Mrs. Halima among close neighbors who
used to be called Mpok Limah, original Cilandak, Sukabumi, West Java, said
frankly to him. That for her tuition fees have been scrambling to get the
money. With tears, she looked at her son, saying "Chairul, a mother your
first tuition given a few days ago my mother got from pawning a soft cloth
mother. Learn seriously, son. "At that, as if the earth stopped rotating stand
where he limp like without blood. It is conceivable, just enjoy fun meeting new
friends, suddenly heard the sad news.

price of Rp 150. Done once, paid upon completion.So, start seeing business

Long story short, there were 100 people who signed up his scoring in Chairul,
and automatically he made a profit of Rp. 15.000, -An advantage obtained by a
very mdah, with only the network and trust.Cash profits for the first time it
was received by 15,000 Chairul perceived as generating momentum confidence
further.Tens of thousands followed, hundreds of thousands and millions of the
next is not difficult if the spirit and confidence can be maintained. Since
then his life easier.Of the 15,000 that then he is well known throughout the
campus as a multiplier to the dictates of the bargain. Initially he got a cheap
copy in the Grogol (U.S. $ 15, and for giving orders -/lembar many didiscount
be Rp.12, 5/lembar). Lecturer and friends across majors often entrust copy him.
Practically almost every day he paced Grogol-wheeler hauling Salemba with the
dictates of a photocopied textbook-assisted some friends.Next because it was

his efforts to work hard and work smart. A proud achievement every parent
