Dreams

well, it really has been a long time since i updated my blog. probably 1 yrs and 6 month. it means 18 months or possibly said 540 days..

still , i consider it as an honour that blogspot.com doesn't delete this blog since it's really lack of update. (or probably i would say there's no update =P)

this time i wanna write about a salvation that i got during this 18months.

truly , i'm a lil bit sad about what do teens do about their dream these days.

my friends (probably my close friends) surely know that I'm a type of a people who like to fantasize something which is nearly impossible , and a also a big supporter of unusual , rare dreams.
(e.g : conquering the world , become someone who is well respected and known in the WORLD, become a great pokemon trainer (just kidding. haha) , or probably another else).

probably it sounds crazy , big mouthed or irritating. but i will always think , to never give up on something which is not impossible. I'm not talking about some religion things (although i DO trust them) such as moving a mountain , walking over water and another things which is not logical in human minds , but written in the bible that it'll be done with the faith.

I'm talking about things which is able to be viewed from the logical perspective of human's mind , but has a NEARLY 0% probability. Such as being a president of Indonesia , being a member of Diplomatic Organization , become a Captain of the Indonesian national football team and another things.

Sounds impossible? sure , at the first time I also thought like that. But , let's think.

-Has Obama , in his old days in Indonesia , think that he has the biggest chance to be the first black-skinned president in US?

-Has Leo Messi , in his past with his growth-disturbance disease ever seen by the public to get the biggest chance to be the best world player in 2009?

In my opinion , i would say no. I think they start with the almost same chance as a lot of person who has the same career as them. BUT the difference is that they dream about it , they desire it , they maximize their effort for it and SURELY they believe that with the hardworks , they'll have the chance to reach their dream.

How about talent? Surely it affect the chance of reaching the dream of someone right?

I am a people who believe that the world success is composed by 5 personality , which is 'hardworking' , 'tenacity' , 'modesty' , 'honesty' , and 'inspiring'.

-hardworking : reach the dream with laziness? just hope until the sun rises from the west.

-tenacity : 1 big problem and you've given up. so how are you supposed to face another BIG problem after you've been successful?

-modesty : some people said 'people have the right to be cocky if they have something to be cocked about'. yea , sometimes i agree with the statement. But i believe that a successful person isn't a person who is only success in his works , but also has a great personality , so he can be a role model for another person.

-honesty : a SUCCESSFUL person is a person who is trusted by another person , by all means has a good reputation in his career. so , how do you get one without being honest? =)

-Last-> Inspiring : a great man is not only a man who is successful in his works. But also able to inspire another people , to be a successful man such as or even more than him.

how about TALENT? talent for me is only a bridge to reach something higher. Important? yes , necessary? not really. Imagine we're in a city , and we want to get cross a lake to another city. What should we do?
1) Cross the bridge if the lake has any.
2) Just swim across it.
if there's a question about point 2 , 'what if there's some crocodiles in the lake?'
-My answer is , just find another way to cross the lake without being eaten or bitten or slashed or etc by the crocs.
Either buy a gun to shoot the crocs , bait the crocs with some big fish and swim swiftly across the lake or another things!

What i wanna mention with that story is. yeah , talent DOES help you to reach your dream , but even without TALENT , you will still be able to reach your dream!

One of the saddest thing i consider to this 'lack motivation to catch the dream problem' is that everyone in the present seems to value 'money' more than 'dream' , 'pride' , 'satisfaction' , 'joy' and your 'pure little heart' (sorry i don't know the english of hati kecil =D ).

yea yea i know. money is one of the most important things in the world. you need money to live in this world (in the earth to be specific , i don't know what does money called by aliens).
when you're alive , even to 3-p ( puke , pee and poop) you need MONEY. even you're death , you still need MONEY to pay for your tomb.

money is really important, yes. and that's why most of people in the earth fall down to the money's trap and CHASE them for all cost. that's the main problem. why should we be the one who chase money? why don't MONEY to be the one who chase us? is it possible? in my opinion , YES!
Analogy :
-Super Dog maniac likes dog. (I hate dogs , really)
-They can't live without dog. (Just assume it as a 'yes' please =) )
-They want to buy a dog , because there's a quality in that annoying creature(cute,loyal,etc)
-So they decided to work hard to purchase the dog

in the other hand

-there's a dog maniac who is really famous because of some reason i thought ( only an example)
-all dogs are racing to be his
-they wanted to be his because of some quality belonged to the dog maniac
-so the dog maniac decided to take some dogs

dog = money
dog maniac = person.

of course , i also consider this as a bad and weird analogy, since dogs do have feeling and money doesn't ='( .

But in this analogy , i want to ensure something.
when we've became a successful people , surely we have a great quality within us. when we have a great quality within us , jobs , bonuses and another lot of things will come upon us. For me , this is the path to be a person that is chased by money.

i believe that beside having great quality , successful men also are the people who ENJOY they work , although sometimes there could be problems upon their works.

And how to get the enjoyment in our work? simply put , just do the work the we desire , we dreamed and we love =). and that is some aspects that will be really hard to get if we only work to produce money! (although i don't say it is not possible)

and for the last section..

I want to share my thoughts about the keys to reach our dream :

1) Commitment -> without this , trust me. no thing could be done =). learn to do something with all of our hearts. This word has included the words 'Hardworks , Tenacity , and sacrifices.

2)Think that ' Whatever I can DREAM & BELIEVE I can ACHIEVE' , i would call it a faith to ourselves. Just believe that if another people could do it, so are you! And if no one has ever done that , go thanks God that you could become a legend if you do it.

3)Set CLEAR GOALS & ROUTES , then TAKE ACTION until you succeed .
E.g : to be a president of Indonesia , it'll be helpful if you make some plans in the futures that will support your journey to be a president of Indonesia. Like , you'll be going to University xxx with zzz major and another things. And NEVER FORGET to take action to the plans you're going to do , and never be scared to evaluate things or possibly change the plans if you see something better.

4) Consistency : Think deeply about what do you dream to be. Don't be an inconsistent brat who changes his target or hopes for each week , since it'll be a waste of time and energy if you keep starting things over and over again. Also learn to focus to an aspect which need to be done.

5) ENJOY the things you're doing. A lot of people forget to do this , since they're too busy to hone their skill or getting their job done. Always remember that being grateful will wash all of your boredom and anger away =) .

6)Be GRATEFUL for each MISTAKES you've made , and CONVERT them into a LESSON , so you wouldn't repeat them in the future. Sometimes people are too frustrated about the mistakes they've made in the past , and they lost their vision to make something better in the future because of their guilty feeling. But remember , be grateful for each mistakes you've made , because that means you've still got a lot to learn and that makes you could be improved to be better more!

7)Be an ANALYTICAL person.

Some people said being an OPTIMISTIC person is good because we could see a great chance spot , and some said it's bad because our optimistic vision could made us unaware of a great risk of failure. While some said that being a PESSIMISTIC person is good because we could be aware of a great risk of failure and some said that it's bad because our over-awareness could made us failed to see a great chance spot in a future.

so?

just be an ANALYTICAL person who's aware for the WORST risk of failure , and could see the BEST chance spot in the future! =)


I do believe in destiny and fate. And I also believe that they are affected by our works and doings in this life. I do believe that fate and destiny were created to help people have a hopeful life and work hard to create their better future. So , let's reach our dream guys! =)

Thanks.
