The Meaning of Best Friend

Do you have best friend? I hope you have best friend or best friends. I have a lot of best friends from my elementary school until now, in college. I cannot live alone in this world, I need a friend at least and I am happy that I have a lot best friends. I can share stories, hang out, and do a lot other activities together with them.

Best friends mean a lot for me. They always help me when I need help and vice versa. I think truly best friends are friends that not only in good times, but also when it is difficult. Truly best friends never left me when I have problems. I am very grateful to them because their loyalty to me. Best friends always tell the truth. I always say the truth to all my best friends and they do the same to me. It’s because I love and care all of them. I can be a better person when they told me something that I should not do. It makes me think about what I have done and try not to do it again in the future. My best friends know a lot of things about me. They know my habit (bad and good), my interest, my favorite food, etc. I usually know a lot of my friend characteristic, habit, and their favorite food. But, I am very sorry to them if I forgot some of their interest because I have lost contact to some friends.

For all my best friends, they are very precious to me. I have to understand my friends, not only them that should understand me. I want to bring positive side for them like they gave me positive side. I have to keep contact to my friends, so I am not lost my friends and keep our friendship.

Incredible Mom

Have you ever think about someone in your life that always help you, but you never notice? I just can imagine one person. That is my mom. My mom is a housewife. She always do her best for me and my brother.

There is many things that I realized after I interviewed my mom. She is the one that tidy up the house, so it always clean. I rarely help her due to my allergic and I feel bad about it, so she just let me do the minor job. My mom always cooks healthy food for me and my brother. She arranges menu that content the nutrients we need. I love my mother cooking. I always eat a lot, that’s why I have big body, but she is happy when I ate a lot. Beside her happiness being a mother, she has problem too. She has trouble with the housecleaning when she ill. I just can help her with the cook because I am not good with the housecleaning. But, at least I help her even it just a little thing.

From the interview, I had the conclusion. In the future, I have to help my mom more often when I have spare time. I have to respect and appreciate all hardwork that my mom have done for me.

“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” (Exodus 20 : 12 )(KJV)

I Can

What do you want to achieve in your life? For now, I just want to graduate as fast as I can and achieve good marks. But, to reach my goal I need to do my obligation now as a student. Lately, I got some laziness struck. I cannot do my homeworks as usual. I prefer to play games on my computer than make my homeworks. But, today I saw a commercial that made my motivation to learn comeback.

Nike commercial brake gave me some inspiration. In Nike commercial brake, there is Christiano Ronaldo, Roger Federer, Maria Sarapova, etc. They are athletes from different sport affiliates. Their hardwork to practice regularly are not dissapointed, they are the best in the sport they occupy. They inspired me to work harder to achieved what I want. All hard work need sacrifice and it will produce something. I can do it too. I can reduce my play time for make my homeworks and for study. I must have strong will to do my homework even playing games are strong temptation. I can endure my desire to play.

Some lesson that I learned from Nike commercial is hardwork. Hardwork is needed to achieve something. I need to sacrifice time to play for study and make my homeworks. I must have strong will to keep my promise to study hard because I cannot make it if I do not have strong will. Life is a choice and if I want to succeed, I have to try my best to achieved the best.

Rumpelstiltskin

Have you ever heard a story named Rumpelstiltskin? It is a story about a miller’s daughter who can spin straw into gold with help from a manikin (little man/dwarf). I like this story because I am not just reading it for fun, but I can learn something from this story.

I learn some lessons from this story. This story began with falsehood. The miller lied to the king that his daughter could spin straw into gold. I think it is not good to lie, because lies always bring another lies to cover the previous lies. In the middle of the story, it was said that the miller’s daughter were helped by the manikin because she gave something in return. When she could not gave him anything in return, the manikin asked her first child as the subtitute of his work. The miller’s daughter agreed to the manikin request. I think before we promised something, we need to think first before take the decision. Another lesson I learned is to remember what we have promised to someone else.

From Rumpelstiltskin story, I can learn that I have to be honest to other. Even sometimes honesty makes troubles, but it is better than lies. Other than honesty, I learn about promised to someone is need a responsibility to fulfill it.

Learn To Be a Better Person

Have you ever admired someone that inspired you in your life? I have one person in my mind. He is Leeteuk, the leader of Super Junior, South Korea boy band. He is inspired me in many ways to be a better person in my life.

Leeteuk has many talents that inspired me. I admired his hardworking because to become a singer, dancer, MC, radio and television host are not easy. I felt nervous when I have presentation, even it just in front of few people. Now, you can imagine how brave he is, to work in front of a lot of people. It needs a lot of time and hardworking to achieve what he got now. As the leader of Super Junior, he got the responsibility of all members. He must understand the differences and tried to unite them all. He knows the problem in his group members. I think that is one the important point that a leader should have, because it is very helpful in organizing the team and will work optimally. He inspired me that as a leader not only leadership you needed, but the understanding between the leader and the members of the group. Besides that, I like Leeteuk’s attitude. He is polite to other people. I think attitude is needed when you are working with other people.

From Leeteuk’s biography, I can learn that to achieve something it is not easy, I need to work hard to achieve that. Beside hard work, I have to have good attitude. I need to learn more to be a better person in the future.
