like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

dreams.

I was just talking about my dreams - again - with my friends a few days ago. Talking about it made me realize how many dreams I have. Yet, how much effort I need to reach those dream which can be categorized as very hard.

My first dream is: helping people. Well, it's not that hard. But, my helping-people definition is founding a non-profit NGO (Non-Governmental-Organization) and build schools, houses for poors, help a community, and help them in reaching a better quality of life. It will need a hard work, tho. It's not as easy as giving some food to a homeless guy. I need a good connection to many people including governments.

Second, I wanna discover the world. The Earth. It means I admire going around the world - Europe, especially France, Switzerland, England, and Japan, South Korea, Raja Ampat, Africa, and lot more places on Earth. Not just that, I want to go to beautiful remote places where I can be alone - or just with my friends or spouse.

Third. I can do it only when I really am rich - a millionaire. I wanna make a new city. Or at least a housing complex. I want to make a suistainable, natural, modern, beautiful, neat, discipline area. I will make a different rule than any other cities in Indonesia.




Those are my dream. My life's destinaton. My personal legend. I need to work really hard for that. And I'm optimistic that I will be able to reach that dream (tho I'm not sure with the third one :P).
