Life
is struggle, life is challenge and many more uncounted assumption to transform
in our mind, difficult to say an imagery of this life, sometimes large number
of people have argue that life is beautiful and either some people said that
life is scared, danger and it can be boomerang that kill us creeping slowly,
and there are many philosophy of life are untold. There many risk should be
face by everyone who have a chance to born to this universe that full of
trouble and unexpected things and who
can defeat it, they will got the meaning of the proverb : “ Life is champions,
just for them who always try and pray to reach it”.
When
I was born my parents give the meaningful of name, Sarifudin is mine. In my thinking that life is joyful as when I
was kid, It distinguish when I growth to teens and adult age, then I want to
imagery my physically, I have sun-tanned skin and spread some dots makes it be more
attractive skin, I get medium body 160 height and 55 kilos weight among my
brothers in my family. An oval face with semi-pointed nose, sharp eyes with two
thick eyebrow on them and it is decorated by medium, shiny and thick hair. In
other way I’m a good boy like in one of poetry by Robert Lois Stevenson and it
describes my personality.
I
woke before the morning, I was very happy all the day.
I
never said an ugly word, but smile and stuck to play.
And
now at last the sun is going down behind the wood.
And
I’m very happy, for I know that I’ve been good.
My
bed is waiting cool and fresh, with linen smooth and fair.
And
I must be off to sleepsin-by, and not forget my prayer.
I
know that, till to-morrow I shall see the sun arise.
No
ugly dream shall fright my mind, no ugly sight my eyes.
But
slumber hold me tightly till I waken in the dawn.
And hear the thrushes singing in lilacs
round the lawn.
I live in the Village, never smelt and heard
of the deliciously and the crowded of city town. I growth in simple family and
stayed in ordinary house. There’s no
prawn cocktail, Chicken Kiev, grilled trout, Burger ‘n’ beans, Pizza Hut and
desert in our family’s menu food but served Nasi Liwet with eggplant steak,
fried Tempe Mondol and the other kind of
its from the swamp that to be my menu every breakfast-dinner time came. There’s
no extravagant motorcycle or luxurious car that carried me on to the infant
school till to comprehension school every early morning. There’s no asphalt
road or toll road but the path around the bush with muddy and slippery surface
in rain season and almost every two week attack by flood, they’re all be my Old
Phoenix’s bicycle route for ten years.
Time
passed away with thousand obstacles block my legs and blind my eyes but they
aren’t my problems to move on, although it sometimes made me weary and almost
gave up. The ambition and a determined that reinforce me to go on and stand up
how to faced the challenge of life. I am still remind my parents’ advice and
will always remember it “ My son, Please study hard to get the successful in
your life, Don’t be like us, fool and didn’t have much education, work in muddy
land and dirty place, and I want one of my children to be success person”. And
now one of my great ambition reached, It’s I can continued my Education in
University although there are many aspect not support me more, but I believe I
can step to success word by it although I’m villager boy and I’m so proud with
my parent whom life in the village.
In
brief a hard living in a family, in environment and in the world it must be
faced by everyone who was born in this universe. It’s like my life as a
villager boy, there’s spread many obstacles and the dangerous thunder on life
that attack us any time. There’s no regretful and shyness in my heart to be a
villager boy with simple living, a lack of many thing, but I always make its to
be a special one gift and be my weapon to fight this live.
