Hello everyone, do you have friends who like to work hard? Maybe this can motivate you a little bit, especially for men aged 18 years and over.
This friend of mine is named Ferdinand Sinaga, he comes from the city of Binjai, North Sumatra. My trip to the city of binjai can take 8 hours on the way. What's unique is that I was born on March 21, 1998 at 12 am, and he was born on March 21, 1998 at 1 pm, hahaha it's only an hour apart.
I come from Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam while he is from North Sumatra. We live on the same island but in different provinces. At first I knew him because at that time I visited my grandmother and grandfather's house in Binjai. In this article I do not tell a photography tips or anything else. I just want to tell you how it should be when you are young, are you going to waste your youth just for fun? or you have to be more productive so that your life is not in vain. I hope this can be a lesson and can motivate us all.
He's Ferdinand Sinaga, he's the person I want to talk about. I have known him since 2003. That was the first time I met him. After I got to know him, every day I started playing with him for a month. I visited his house and got to know his family. They are kind, friendly and polite people. But they have a financial shortage. His father was a pedicab driver, his mother was a tailor, and his sister was also very young at the time, her mother then told me about their condition. It turns out that the people around them also really don't like them, they are shunned and exiled just because they are a poor family.
I know, they often feel sad, they cry a lot, they are tired of the life they are going through. I also feel the sadness they feel. Maybe, if I were in their position, I wouldn't be able to either. Their lives were full of struggles and they had shed many tears.
After one month I was in Binjai, I returned home to my house in Aceh. We never saw each other again at that time. Then, in 2016 I visited my grandmother and grandfather's house again and met my friend (Ferdinan Sinaga).
He told me that he didn't go to school anymore because he didn't have the money to pay his school fees.
And at that time, he was working in his uncle's sugarcane plantation, his uncle's sugarcane would be processed by the factory into sugar. I am sad to hear that he is no longer in school, but I am also proud that he is willing to work hard to make ends meet. He began to like work in gardening.
What surprised me, now that he has his own business, he collects capital from his wages working in his uncle's sugarcane plantation all this time. I am even more proud of him.
He has a fairly large hydroponic land. He maintains pakcoy plants, he likes to grow these plants because he used to work in his uncle's garden. Maybe this is a blessing from God for his hard work so far.
I asked him : How much turnover do you achieve each month?
He replied : Maybe around 50 million rupiah to 60 million rupiah.
Then I asked again : How much profit can you get from the sale of this plant?
And he replied : I can have a profit of 25 million rupiah to 30 million rupiah every month.
Wow !!!
This is so amazing, I didn't think that he could rise from all his troubles. In Indonesia, 30 million rupiah is a pretty big number, we can buy whatever food we want, we can walk, we can shop at big malls. It's amazing right ?
Maybe some of you don't know what Pakcoy is. Pakcoy is another type of mustard plant, this pakcoy is also very delicious when cooked into vegetables to be eaten with rice.
I am very motivated by his hard work so far. He said to me : If you want to be successful, work hard with what you love, don't listen to other people's words, be an independent man, don't expect anything from humans, because it can destroy your life.

Are you also interested in cultivating this plant? This plant looks very fresh right?
Note: All pictures I take already have permission. How could my friend forbid this, I'm his friend, hahahaha :V
The point is, everything will be beautiful in its time, we will be happy, we will be happy, we will be proud of ourselves if we are willing to work hard. That time will come.
Thank you for dropping by at my article. I hope to see you again at another time.
