Hey, several days ago I read a good article. I think it needs to be shared..read it and know yourself better!

Many people often misunderstand “introvert” as negative personality. “Introvert” is often considered as coward, close minded, shy, and antisocial. But it’s not true. Some extraordinary people like Barrack Obama, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Steven Spielberg are introvert person. But they have wide knowledge about the world. We should know that “introvert personality” and “close minded personality” are quite different.

• Introvert feels inconvenient when they are in the crowd of people. They work best when alone. But close-minded feels afraid when they are in the crowd of people.



• If an introvert knows new idea, he/she will think and consider it. But a close-minded person will immediately refuse it and say, “It’s not important!”



• Introvert rarely begins the conversation because introvert thinks his/her word before speaking. Instead, close-minded doesn’t begin the conversation because he/she is afraid to do so.

When I see, through the window morning
A newspaper laid down over the ground
Just like I saw
Mornings before

When I walk,
Through same road I’ve passed before
Small markets open and some people there
Buy and sell, just like days before
Small stalls prepare themselves, for whole day
Yeah, just like I saw mornings before

This road, I’ve passed many times
And I’m sure, not just me
A man with his dog, walk here almost every morning
Cars and motorcycles
Go to work every morning,
Back to home in the evening
Through the same road, just like days before

Day and night, day by day,
Sheet by sheet of calendar
Season by season, year by year
This road is still the same

For me, a twenty years old boy
It’s difficult to be understood, sometimes
My childish mind said,
“Don’t they have bigger dream?
Don’t they feel bored?”

But I realize
Such fool questions
Coz I also take part of this routine, eh?
More than that,
Without them, I can’t alive
Without them, this city can’t alive
Without them, this country can’t alive
Without them, this system won’t be called
A system anymore

No matter how big or small your work
in others’ eye
Just put a heart on it
Don’t you know, your small work
bring such life for me, for this city, for this country?

Not a long time ago, in the beginning I studied in my campus I ever felt so empty. I was so enthusiastic to learn new things. I thought if I get more and more knowledge I will become great person. I didn’t need to give to others because it will waste my time. Yeah, at the time I was so arrogant.

But do you know, I still felt my life isn’t better. I still felt so empty, sometimes I thought: what’s the difference between me and knowledge repository machine? I still felt the others have happier life than me because they consider their life so simple; don’t need to know everything to be a happy person.

And now I realize: knowledge never satisfies me. Even more than that, I realize that just think for my own happiness also doesn’t satisfy me. What is my life for? Get so much knowledge as I can, then die without brings anything of them?? Just think for my own happiness and then later in my life I realize I waste my life, doesn’t do anything??

God gives me; God gives us knowledge, talent, money, time, health, and spirit to give meaning for people around us. To give something for others who need: they who never feel happiness in their life, they who live in poverty and war, they who feel empty life, and they who hurt. To give meaning for the world. To make the world smile. That’s why we life. That’s why we are created.

At the moment, I still have two more years study here in my campus. I want to give more with all that I have; I will learn how to give more with heart. I believe after I graduate, God has another special plan for me. Jesus, please use my life as You planned! I want to give all my life for You!
