Community is Not About 'Community'

Nowadays, there are so many communities that we can found in a big city like Jakarta for example. Commmunities that with a same interest things such are food, blogger, toys, sports, automotives, or even games, can you easily found in here. For me, I bet that it is easy to you to find a community which is having the same interest for you. Anyway, talking about a community in Jakarta which are so many communities ih here, I have a short story about this one. In this article, I will focused on the community which I already joined. Well, its new for me in this community since I change my mind to find another community. So, what community that I joined up? Now, I join with a new motorcycle community which is based on the Central Jakarta area. In this article, I didn’t want to focus on the community itself (maybe later I will tell more about my community).  In here, I just want to focused about what is the benefit that you can get when you involving and active in a community that you like. Curious about those things? Let’s discuss it one by one.

Okay, first of all I want to tell you that I joined up in one of a automotive community which is focused on a motorcycle. And yes, the name of that community is Motorcycle Owners Community Indonesia or MOCI for short. Anyway one thing you should know that there is nothing related with a cake which is named moci (a traditional cake in Indonesia). I joined in this community when the founder itself, Sonny, contact me to joined up. Since I think it sounds interesting to join his community, well without any things to think then I joined up with this community. In short, I am a person that love to join the automotive community. I love it because automotive is an one of a things that I like since when I was a kid. You can imagine how many toys which are cars and motorcycles that I had at my home.. Ooh so many, until my parents confuse about so many toys in my home.. Because now I am already in a legal age, so I can go easily to implement my hobby  and of course in a positive activities. One of that is by joining the automotive communities. So, based on my thought, I have 2 things which are the benefit to you by joining in one community. What are the benefits?

First, about link. Of course when you join in a community, absolutely you will get a new friends. Friends that can share and discuss about the same interest with you. Getting a new friend is very important to bigger your link and connections. This link, maybe one day you will need them to share about job that you need or vice versa. When you get a new friends, of course your social link will also bigger and grow. Furthermore, you can also get more information about your hobby deeper when you discuss with your friend on your community. Is it interesting right? To share things that you love with your friends. I bet you will have a longer time to discuss one thing with them. The bigger link is more better for yourself.

Second is about your hobby. Just like told about on the second paragraph. It’s about hobby and passion bro! When you like to do somethings or collecting things that you like, it can brings you to your passion. By joining in a community, you do your hobby and passion in a single time. Do the things that you like is so fun! For me as an example, since I love motorcycle from when I was a kid and then joining a community, now I can implement my hobby deeper. Now I can know several things which are bikers do like hand signals, ethics code as a biker, and also live in an organization which is a thing that you can’t get in a formal study. I even don’t know about those things before I joined an automotive communnity. What I know before I joined it, is just automotive, brand, and speed, that’s it... But after I joining it, it can enrich the knowledge about my hobby. The more you know about your hobby, you will love it as a part of your life.

Okay, that’s all about my thoughts about a community. I bet that any other peoples will have another ideas and thought, but let me share about my ideas above. One thing you should know that when you interesting to join a community, join the positive one! In a society, there are also a negative communities which is very identical with a criminal world and you have to avoid it. Join the positive one, and you will feel that your passion become as part of your life. Joining a community is not about just join it, but it can makes your life more colourful with the thing that you like. Are you interest to start your journey with your hobby by join in a community?
