Return on Equity
Patience has its limit, is something that I always believe exist in our daily life when facing a hurdle. The limit is varied each individual of course, but then again, sometimes the limit can has its own extension like module, through the support of others.
That, happened tonight when Vanka tweeted a very depressing statement that while it doesn’t always mean that she tweeted that related to her job as a JKT48 trainees, we can still assume that it was inexplicably telling people about how she currently feels.
Amidst her tweets, a barrage of support and advices from her seniors, namely Beby and Shania, also from another trainee, Rachel, came in.
Oh, I wanna ask something. If you have tried your best but still haven’t got the rewards/ignored, what will you do?
Just keep on trying and be patient. Put your trust on God’s time since He will always see our effort
God never sleep. It took process, effort, and time. Chin up gurl!
Well, Effort will never betray you. It will betray you if your effort is not suitable with your goal or perhaps the goal itself is not the paved road for us..
Even before there’s an effort, know your goal first..once you know your goal and that is the exact one you aim for, then it is time for effort and focus..THAT is actually the effort that will never betray you 
If what you believe is not your path and you started to feel that your effort betrays you, it is a sign to start to know more of yourself and to know what is your goal
What happened is not as easy as what one said.. But then again, it all came back to your intention,goal, and effort While the result, is just a bonus~
My Personal Take
Well, I kind of understand very well what Vanka is now thinking. But to be honest, let me just break a flash news to our readers here. Me and my late dad spent more than 6 years trying to get my band a recording contract. Alas, it never came true. If it wasn’t for my dad passing away, I believe that my dad and my band mates will still together trying to get a recording contract even now. Heck, even my dad last words before he breathe his last breath was “What should I do with the recording contract?”
We are still struggling right now after 12 years trying to get a contract. Band members one by one decided to resigned due to no leadership anymore after my dad passed away. But still, the dream never fades away. We, those who stay, are still actively and desperately trying to make a new song for our band even we have to divide our time between music, family, hobby, and work. And yes, we rarely have enough sleep. We have to sacrifice a lot of thing for time management, one of it is a job as a stage performer.
So personally, I feel a little bit disappointed if a year is what it takes to feel so frustrated like that. But perhaps that was just me, I still need to understand where Vanka came from first before spewing my opinion further on a baseless statement.
But anyway, I hope Vanka can cast aside her needs for a result/reward for now and wait for another year. If she still doesn’t get the “Return on Equity” she needs, she will be the one with the ball. What kind of path she should take when that time comes, she will have to decide it on her own without any interference from any third party involved except for a consulting platform.

well,
to think that vanka tweeted kind of thing. I think she need encouragement from the people around her and the fans, to continue or stop…
(((lets encourage vanka…rrrghhh)))
and beby’s tweet, I like it… hope vanka got the enlightenment.
*eh, for a teens its natural. not yet adult enough. that she thinks or feels like that. maybe she’s in galau mode = on (masih mencari jati diri)
Ganbatte vanka
IMHO
she’s in the same age as nabilah.. an area where her mental still un-stable..
she had a nice look (and maybe some skills too, dunno abawt this..), maybe she just think; “with all this potential, why the hell i’m still a trainee?” or “the hell is wrong with management? i’m a Goddamn asset!”
if she want to reflect to gen 1, gen 1 need almost 1 year before they became a team..
and all her senior reply (me actually thinks) were merely an action to calming her down.. especially Shania, considering they were in the same school..
whiners should just quit.
Give her a break shes just frustrated. It’s not like shes throwing a temper tantrum over not being center like Watanabe Miyuki did.
No Tachil, don’t fall to the dark side (yet)!
I just hope that JOT put a little bit more attention to so called trainees and “undergirls”. For example, on the latest CD they gave “Kimi to Boku no Kankei” to Melody and Nabilllah. I know right, those 2 were haven’t got enough popularity. It’s just like they already got place on EVERY JKT48’s singles. Don’t get me wrong, I love both of them, it’s just that I feel that they already have all the exposure they deserve. (Although I’m really happy and suprised they give Hanna and Noella a spot on Managu, TBH I did’t even know Noella’s “existence” before this single
)
I don’t know if it will solve the problem (or even make it worse), but for the next single, we have to given a chance to vote which members we REALLY want to see. The result might surprise us (remember how Pajadora Revival Show votes, and the latest calendar votes?) And don’t forget the undergirls please…
Just my 25 perak
Well… Life isn’t really fair. You’ll get that unfairness a lot when you’re getting older. You just have to deal with it.
The system is there, adapted from the AKB48 concept. Yes, the system has flaws. Why do you think Haruka move to Jakarta than stay still to become AKB48’s under? However, she took a risk, and finally have her place here in Jakarta. It would take her many years to achieve her accomplishment.
So what could trainees do when they’re receiving so much pressure inside the system? Well, first of all, if you are still young, don’t give up. You’ve got your friends and fans to support you up. Yes I know, you don’t have lots of fans, compared to Melody or Nabilah (the face of JKT48). Just take one step at a time.
My suggestion is, create something out of the box, create something creative to make you stand out.
Look at Sisil, who creates short move of her daily life. Look at how she can find her unique talents inside the group. She’s the comedian of the group. Fans laugh with her jokes. Fans began to notice her.
Or check out Nobi who create a video of her singing an anime song.
Another great idea is by Nadila (I know she’s not one of the trainee, though she’s still part of JKT48’s unders). She creates challange for herself. She requests fans to give her challangable task, and she tries to accomplish it on weekly basis.
So Via, Rachel, Vanka, Dena, Shafa, Nobi, Sisil, please don’t give up.
You have fans to support you up.
And wait for the end of the week. You should see the proof of support coming at you in the theater.
Wow, I didn’t know that Sisil, Nobi and Nadila went to that extent. Good for them I guess, I hope their efforts makes them more popular.
There are a lot of comedian in the group, Alicia Chanzia performed a stand up comedy, and the natural troll Jeje… (did you watch her video on hitsrecord’s youtube, she told stories about Sonya’s bad habit…and the video suddenly got deleted
)
I remembered watching AKB48’s documentary, and a fans said that watching 48 group is like watching a bird that learn to fly, it’s not their talent that make him love them, but their efforts and spirits to soar higher than the rest that make him love them. Now, I feel that same vibe too.
You are right Mr. Pitra. I don’t know how she feels cause I never been in entertainment industry and never be but one thing I know that everything ends if you stop trying and believe in yourself. For Vanka, If you are reading this message, life is not about one answer only unlike exam paper. You have to chose the right answer to score but life have many possibility. Just keep believing in yourself and keep moving forward and your fans will always support you. I’m sure you will have your reward.
Haruka should tell her stories to Vanka.
Anyway, why did Angga decide to use “Return on Equity” instead of “Return on Investment”?
Good question!
Well, since Vanka currently measures the efficiency of her investment (effort) rate of return (time) towards to the profits (reward), I think RoE is more acceptable in this case rather than RoI
And also, there’s another side of the card of why I decided to use RoE. Something that got to do with uh… “Shareholder Equity”
She has tried and fail. But the true failure is when she decides to stop trying.
Frustration is good, by complaining is even better to relieve stress at work. (wait, only do that
)
Well, firstly I’d like to go easy on her, as she’s just a teen and feeling frustration like this hopefully leads to growth…
Of course I would tell her not to give up. She feels she worked very hard but not much came out of it? She should just try some other way then.
It’s not who works the hardest, but who works the smartest that comes out on top in the end.
As Mr. Pitra says, inventing new ways to stand out, even a little, is how members make a place for themselves, in Japan, Indonesia, China, everywhere I think.
That said, grit your teeth and bear it Vanka, just keep your eyes open because I’m sure there are lots of chances rolling around you now…!
To be successful in any 48 group under Aki-P, you don’t need good voice, good face, good hardwork. All do you need is
LUCK.
Haha…you’re right Mr. RedRanger48. I remember in episode of AKBINGO that revealed why Takamina was selected in audition. It because of her birthday and height had 48 number in it. Its was pretty ridiculous to choose her cause of that but she has a good voice after all
Really, I think some people should stop saying “they’re still young, their mental is still unstable”. Unstable mental means illness, not teenagers behaviour. Besides, if we set aside her age and everything that proves her status as a teen, there’re many who can’t do what they do now. You made a decision to be in JKT48, sacrifize and do many things for JKT48, A responsibility that I’m sure many teenagers like them can’t cope for a long time. Please don’t say “Oh, they’re young, they still need to learn” because no matter what age you are something like this needs a big gut to do. So, if Vanka said that on Twitter, means she’s adult enough to question her problem and not just ignore it. It takes a lot of effort to even think about what you really want and do for your life, and for me Vanka has done a good thing to ask that on Twitter, she asked for advices.
She is mentally un-stable..
And for kids on her age, that is normal..
Unless you are emotionally well trained from young age, an action like Vanka just did is very normal (even adult sometimes do such thing, they even get drunk, literally)
Everybody has their own perception of maturity, not to disrespect, but yours truly differs from mine
Umm, isn’t mentally unstable is actually a term to describe someone who has a mental illness? I suppose?
Share problem in social media is big mistake, it would be better if Vanka share her problem to her parent, brother, sister, management or best friend. Now JOT and fans will think that is a right decision to put her in JKT48 trainee because she only want a reward but didn’t train hard enough like others member.
Don’t worry Vanka i will give you a hug and lend you a shoulder to cry.
