About 2 days ago we got a party at my house, it's my grandma b'day. I was in a conversation with my cousin and we're talking about what he going to do after he graduated. He told me that he don't want to work, he said working won't get you anywhere. The starting salary here in Indonesia is indeed very low. It's only $85 /month. Well for him, maybe he could get $200-$250/month.
He told me that, with the $200 salary he couldn't even get a motorcycle, car and got get a house it would be impossible. He keep saying bad things about working bla bla bla, they don't get this, they don't get that, etc2. And I stop him there. I said, working is not that bad. So I tell him how some of my friends manage to get $2500-3500 a month working.
I didn't know if my story change his mind of not, but I do believe that a dog can never be a bird and a bird could never bark. You get "the idea" right? If you have a talent in medical, be a doctor, nurse, heart specialist. Don't try to be a dancer or a singer.
But hey, some of you might say that. I know some doctors who can dance and sing. Well yes, if you know the 80-20 principal then you must know that we must focus our 80 percent effort on that 20 percent skill we good at. Don't diversify your time and life just to be an average person. Be excellent in one small particular area, you'll be amazed how high you can go. Look at michael jackson, elvis presley, donald trump, bill gates all of these people have a specific skill that they developed and make them successful.
So never underestimate what you can do, do what you can, at your best, anywhere, with what you have, no matter the situation. I get the quote from Theodore R.
God Bless,
