“I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.” — Steve Jobs, 1995

This quote made me reflect on my own journey with KNIME.

I started using KNIME Analytics Platform in 2017. What began as learning and experimenting with workflows gradually became a journey of teaching, creating learning materials, sharing knowledge, and introducing KNIME to people across industry, education, and government in Indonesia.

Almost nine years later, the technology has evolved tremendously. Data has changed. AI has changed. The way we learn and work has changed.

But one thing has remained constant:

I keep learning.

I keep sharing.

I keep experimenting.

I keep going.

For me, perseverance is not simply about never stopping. It is about being willing to learn, adapt, try again, and share what we learn along the way.

And perhaps this is one of the most meaningful parts of being part of the KNIME Community: the journey becomes more valuable when we can help others move forward too.

✈️ 2017 → 2026
Still on the journey.
