my mom told me, "later, when you are successful in foreign, don't go back to indonesia! you've had a good living there, unlike here." then i replied, "no! i want to go home. i want, at least, to help poor indonesians to get a better living." she suddenly angry and said, "don't be such a fool. it's good to have a good living. don't be such an idealist. you don't know how hard working here." i was just quiet and thinking.
well, what's wrong for being an idealist? i'm an idealist yet a dreamer. i want such a thing which is so hard to be done: helping indonesia. so what's wrong with it? am i wrong for dreaming it?
they said they are mad to the goverments because of the corruption they do. this country has been sick already. so, is that mean giving up? if i give up, then it's just like: you are sick so badly that you're always complaining, but you do nothing to cure it.
i'm not like that. so, i want to cure indonesia to be a better country in the future. no matter that people say i'm an idiot idealist or elses. world needs an idealist and dreamer. who invents useful things we use today? they were idealist. people teased them for being sick trying to invent such a weird things, the Wright brothers, for instance. but, see! how it turns into an irreplacable thing in our life. who struggled so hard to give an independence day if it's not the idealist heroes who dreamed peace for their nation?
well, that's how i am.
