Young brothers and sisters, if you still aspire to be a civil servant, so that tomorrow you have a secure life until old age, then that generation's ideals are very long, our parents first, 70-80 high school may still be so.
If you aspire to become a BUMN employee, so that a good salary, retirement exists, is also great, then that is also the old generation, uncles, our aunts, high school class of the 90s, that's your dream.
If you aspire to become employees of a multi-national company, a large private company, so you can do your job abroad, dollar allowances, that is also the dream of our older siblings, the high school class of the 2000s.
You are a different generation ... You are middle school, high school, or college in 2010 and above. You should not aspire like that again. You are citizens of the world, connected to all corners of the world.
What are your dreams?
Be a creative worker, entrepreneur, free job profession, and other amazing jobs. You watch movies like Iron Man, Avengers, Minions, then tomorrow it is your turn to watch a movie for people.
You are a consumer of Burger King, KFC, etc., then tomorrow it is someone else's turn to become your franchise consumer. Today you wear clothes, someone else's clothes, tomorrow it is someone else's turn to wear your clothes.
Today you go to the hospital, tomorrow it is the turn of the person who goes to the clinic with your different system and method.
That's your world ... In the future ...
Don't want to just be followers, followers, but stand in front, turn to other people who follow and listen to the trends that we make. So if that time arrives, we can really say: Freedom !!
Come on, forget for a moment working as civil servants, BUMN employees, or private employees, entering in the morning, going home late at night. 30-40 years of work, retirement. It's been too many people who have done it, the time 'we will follow the same path, it's time for you to start a different path.
Don't be afraid of failure, don't be afraid of not having a job, being unemployed, etc., etc. As long as we really are, resilient, we can be the best in our field.
No matter how high your position is, if you are still a civil servant, an employee of a BUMN, a private employee, then you are actually still asking someone else. Have a boss, and our life is like a cycle from month to month, payday to payday.
Fun sitting behind a desk, staring at social media, this comment, the comment, etc., and so on. But still so is our life.
No, brothers and sisters, your life can be more colorful. You can be anything.
Don't make narrow ideals, your dreams. Your generation should not be time bound, not time corruption, on the contrary, you are free and flexible in determining your own hours.
Rest assured, the day after tomorrow, your work will conquer far cities, even distant countries. Tomorrow the day after, your profession will have a reputation for the opposite islands, outer continents.
You are no longer a generation who even boarded an expensive and difficult flight. Or want to send news, you have to use a telegram and pager. Welcome your bright future.
Become a creative worker, entrepreneur, a profession full of passion and joy. That is the call of your generation. And when you can reach it, you can shout as loudly as possible: Freedom! Because your life is truly free.
Start now, teenager. Look for hobbies and useful activities. Tekuni. Tomorrow-tomorrow you will become masters in that field.
