Whom do I want to meet to?

Whom do I want to meet to?

I do idol Mr. Soekarno whom was the first president of Indonesia. I never met him before because he had passed away long ago before I was born in 1988. I was born in the Mr. Soeharto era. He was the second president of Republic of Indonesia after Mr. Soekarno government.

Even though I didn’t live in the Mr. Soekarno era, I know about Mr. Soekarno from his history. He was a great president and a great leader. He was so nationalism. He believed to Indonesian people power. He believed that the Indonesia citizens could be a great nation in the world if each people could be nationalist and struggle the sovereignty of Indonesia through our works and our love to this country. Everyone should fight out of love for their country, Indonesia.

That’s why I do idol Mr. Soekarno, even I have ever read that Mr. Mahatma Gandhi told,” In a thousand years forward, Indonesia will not have a great leader such as Soekarno.” Mr. Soekarno was so respected by many people from many nations.

If I am able to turn the time back, I am going to meet Mr. Soekarno and ask him to have discussion with me. I want to ask a lot of questions about Pancasila (or Five Principles) and his perspective about Indonesian people. Then I’m going to tell him what is happening in the Indonesian future, in this era.

I would like to listen to his opinions about Indonesia. I want to prevent Indonesia from destruction through our believing to our own potencies and power. I think Mr. Soekarno had many good ways to make Indonesian people believe in their potencies. Together, we are going to be strong. We should not make a problem of differences among us. Each person was born different to others, but it is not a problem. We are able to declare our way of thinking and act freely; nevertheless we should respect each other. We have to remember the most important thing. That is we are born as Indonesian. We should thank and proud to be Indonesian. We have the same purpose, it is serving to Indonesia.

"You can't judge the book by its cover."

“You can’t judge the book by its cover.”  I agree with this quotation. Why do I agree with it? I was thinking if no one would know obviously what inside the gift box is until we had torn the wrapper and opened the box. Before we opened the box, all we might do were guessing at. If we want to be objective while we judge somebody or something, we have to understand them then ensure our own understanding to be true not only by looking at somebody or something from their or its outward appearance. I think perceiving is better than judging.

I have experienced the pain and difficult part in my life. I met a man in the factory where I used to work a few years ago. He was a manager in the paper packaging department. His outward appearance was clean and tidy. He always wore well-ironed clothe and trouser even he also comb his hairs and polishing it in order to blacken his grey hairs. The way he walked in the factory was distinct. His outward appearance ensured me that he was a good leader, gentle, and smart. In fact, not all of my thoughts about him were truly right.

After I had conversation with him in many meetings and opportunities outside the office, finally I understood who he really was. He was stubborn person and rarely listened his employees’ difficulties in their work. He was easy to be angry and often spoke rude words to people especially to them who did wrong depended upon his opinion. He was abusive even in the middle of meeting. I was thinking that being angry or blaming somebody in front of many people would embarrass the person whom was being blamed. It was not gentle and smart way to communicate with people.

I'm falling in love
Singer: Tompi

Gaun merah di tubuhmu
Membuatmu tak biasa
Keindahan senyummu
Membuat aku tak kuasa

Menahan gejolak
Yg ada di dalam dada
Jantung ku berdetak kencang
Hei cantik kau sungguh menggoda

Reff:
Somebody please stop the moon from falling down
Because I’m falling in love tonight
Somebody please stop the moon from falling down
Because I’m falling in love with you
[2x]

Bolehkah aku bertanya
Siapa namamu hai dara
Jangan takut padaku
Aku hanya jatuh cinta
Inikah yg orang bilang
Cinta pandangan pertama
Tadinya ku tak percaya
Tapi kurasakan juga

Repeat reff

Just to be with you

 

 Just to be with you

 Singer: Tompi

If I could paint this world
It will be so colorful
Everyday I spend my whole lifetime
Loving you

After all that I have
No where else could be
Other than with you babe
Just to be with you

In my heart, I'm so sure
You're the only one
I found it very hard
To stay away

I wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you
Just to be with you
