that was a question asked by my dad when i was young
we were driving to a small town to check on one of my father's business
in a car.. while having a small talk.. he suddenly asked..
"son, what is ur biggest dream that u want to achieve in this life?"
(thinking for a while) "ermm i once wanted to have my own academy.. that.. that i'm in charge of everything"
my father smiled and said "it is a good dream.. but.. can u achieve it?"
"i dunno dad.. to make an academy.. i have to be well known of what i am doing i guess"
"that's true.. so what are u going to be well know as?"
"ermmm i really want to be a professional footballer.. but it's only a dream.. there's no future in being a footballer in Indonesia.."
"maybe.. but u see.. there's no limit of dream.. by dreaming u can be whatever u wanna be.. the next step is to work hard and try your best to achieve your dream.. "
i was thinking that my dad was talking like it is very easy..
so i asked again
"what was ur dream dad? and.. have u achieved it?"
he smiled "i was so poor that i couldnt even bother to have a dream.. i worked all the time and managed to be successful.. i guess my only dream was to achieved everything that i can achieved.."
i wow-ed like hell.. it was the coolest thing i ever heard from my dad
"so that means u achieved ur dreams already.."
"no son.. we are human.. when a dream achieved.. u cant stop there.. another dream will come to ur mind.. that's why.. be the best that u can ever be is the best way to achieve everything in this world"
"and the best thing that i have now is.. i got all the children that will continue my dreams.. ur sister, you, and ur brothers" he added..
that time.. i felt so lucky that my father talked bout it.. it is something that makes me me now
"err dad" i replied "i know what dream that i need to acquire before i achieve all my dreams"
"what is it son?"
"to be like u DAD!" i replied firmly
