“Hmmh…today is so bored….what must I do?”

“Hello Yose, what’s up?”

“Hey friend! I feel bored today. Just repetition and repetition I do everyday.”

“Bored? Oh come on…so your life today isn’t the life you really want?”

“Emmm…yeah, maybe…”

“So, what kind of life you want?”

“I want to break up these limitations. Now I still have some characters that I want to change. I still feel I can’t easily go outside. I do really want to be independent, can decide everything by myself. ”

“Be patient, Yose. Maybe you still can’t do some things. But remember that your study remains 1.5 years. Be patient. If you feel so, just remember several years ago, when you are still in High School. Of course you have more today than the past, right?”

“I think you’re right. I feel much happier today. I have much more good friends. I have many experiences with foreigners. I’ve already omitted some of my bad habits. I know many interesting websites. I have this blog. I am much knowledgeable. All that I’ve mentioned, I don’t have them in the past, thanks God for giving them to me. But…”

“But what? You still feel not enough?”

“To be honest, yes. You know, I still don’t know who really I am. I mean, I life for what? Just do this repetition?? Isn’t there such thing that’s more meaningful for being done? I will do with passion! I will do with my all! I will…”

“Calm down, friend, calm down. I know you are good hoper. To encourage you to pass today, I would like to hear about your dream, please.”

“I wish I can get scholarship to continue my study in Japan. Then I’ll use my knowledge to create better world. You know, there are many disasters happen and I want to help. I also want to go to Japan, China, and Korea. There are many beautiful places I want to visit. Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Shanghai, Great Wall, Jeju Island, and still so many. I also want to make friends with people from those countries. I also want to teach children, help them to find their dream.”

“Wow….you have so many beautiful dreams….if so, why are you defeated by today’s boredom?”

“Eh…?”

“Just continue your progress. Don’t waste too much time coping with boredom. Five years later I’ll ask you again with the same question: ‘of course you have more today than the past, right?’”

“Thank you so much for your advise, friend. It encourages me so much.”

“Yeah, now wake up, good boy.”

Then I wake up and take my Mandarin book.
