Abstract
My experience taught me that if it can not be the first, it can be the first in a category. STMIK AMIKOM Yogyakarta by start of the Academy of Computer since 1994, who rented a small house on the street Monginsisi No. 8 Yogyakarta and has not paid the rent, for the good of the owner Mr. Budi Sutrisno, SE, rather than a high school's first computer in Yogyakarta. Besides the candidates who entered the prospective student is not accepted everywhere, or prospective students who have failed. Only one way to arouse a new applicant to fall, which revived his spirits, or provide education in different categories, namely emphasis on the mental attitude (SOFTSKILL) than hardskill. Each candidate was given the education called Achievement Motivation Training (AMT) which is then refined into Super Training Excellence (PSU). Education is expected that students become more confident, knowing his true identity, motivated to achieve his goals, has a high sense of empathy and have good social skills. One of the applicants comments that have been given this training "I nearly killed myself, because I was destined by God to be color-blind child, but after I attended PSU, I'm excited about returning to live and achieve my goals as a graphic designer. I'll prove it ". To have a mental attitude that is embedded tejaga well, so for students who are required men to wear a tie and finally to the slogan "The People College tie" as a strategy Positioningnya. Thus the High School Computer with the first category of students wearing a tie.
