Amidst a warm atmosphere filled with familial closeness and\nreflections on life\u2019s journey, etiquette figure and character\ndevelopment expert Mien R Uno officially launched her latest literary\nwork. The book, titled \u2018Self-Reflection: When We Can See Ourselves in\nOthers\u2019, was introduced to the public at the At-Taqwa Sriwijaya Hall in\nJakarta on Friday, 29 May 2026.<\/p>\n
The launch event was particularly special as it coincided with Mien R\nUno\u2019s 85th birthday celebration. Though modestly observed, the occasion\ncarried profound meaning regarding sincerity and courage in reflecting\non one\u2019s life path.<\/p>\n
In her speech, Mien R Uno emphasised that the book is a special\noffering to Indonesia\u2019s youth. She hopes young people can draw valuable\nlessons, both from their own experiences and by observing others\u2019 life\njourneys.<\/p>\n
\u2018Young generations must learn about what they go through or learn\nthrough others\u2019 experiences. I want them to learn to accept themselves\nfor what they have now,\u2019 Mien said with deep insight.<\/p>\n
She also shared reflections on the essence of happiness and the\npresence of close loved ones. According to her, even in the toughest\ntimes, there are always sincere individuals who remain steadfast in\nlistening and supporting.<\/p>\n
\u2018One or two people will always stay close to our hearts and listen to\nour complaints,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n
Mien R Uno\u2019s son, Sandiaga Uno, who attended the event, could not\nhide his emotional pride. To Sandiaga, his mother is a consistent source\nof inspiration, always teaching the values of sincerity in every step of\nlife.<\/p>\n
\u2018This book is not about those who think they are the smartest, but\nabout the courage to be honest about one\u2019s life journey. A mother\u2019s\nstrength isn\u2019t always visible in her words, but in her sincerity in\nliving life,\u2019 Sandiaga said.<\/p>\n
He also stressed that the event was not merely a birthday\ncelebration, but an expression of gratitude for a long life and the\nopportunity to continue contributing positively to the nation.<\/p>\n
