Martha
Tilaar - There Isn’t Word “Impossible”
Do you know Who she is?
Yes. She
is Martha Tilaar who is a succesful businessman, not only in local area but
also in international. Now her cosmetic group is predicated as the market leader
of cosmetic industries in our country. We can find about her success story in
many books, television and also magazines. She is an inspired Indonesian woman with
all of her story and struggle.
Martha Tilaar
was born on September 4th, 1937 in Kebumen. When she was a kid, she had been
interested in all about cosmetic. Then, when she grown up, she was married with
H.A.R
Tilaar who is a rich man. Then she went to Holland to follow her husband and
continued her study there.
Starting from there, she began her business and
built a small beauty salon in America. When she came back to Indonesia, she
built a salon in her father’s garage. By collaborating with PT Kalbe Farma, she
created some creative product. And finally she could build her own business
without cooperating with PT Kalbe Farma. She made her own group namely Martha
Tilaar Group. She has worked really hard in innovating her product. Now, not
only as the big cosmetic company, but
her group also has had some acquisitions with other companies such as PT Tiara
Permata, Aromatic Oil Of Java Martha Tilaar, Dewi Sri Spa Martha Tilaar, Biokos
Martha Tilaar, Belia Martha Tilaar, Berto Martha Tilaar, and Jamu Garden Martha
Tilaar.
Being a succesful business woman with high
profit doesn’t make her greedy. Martha Tilaar always give many contributions by
helping Indonesian women to be more creative and sufficient. Moreover, 70% of
her total employers are women. That’s why I’m very respectful to her. I still
remember a message from her that we should be focus in one field which we have
choosen and don’t give up to reach it. There isn’t word “impossible” if we
believe and struggle. Someday, that’s all as the proof of journey in reaching success
for our life.

Hi Tri Suharyanti, when I read your assignment I found some error like as
BalasHapus"she grown up" I think should be "she grows up" or "she has grown up"
but if I false, you can refuse my suggest :)
Hi Tri, are you sure she is a succesful "businessman"? ;)
BalasHapusTri, please look at the third sentence in your last paragraph : "her total employers are women", I think that the sentence should be "her total employees are women".
BalasHapusBut you can refuse my correction if you don't agree with me. :)
