Plan Your Life Well

Last Thursday is one of my great days. I went to Magelang this morning by bus. At first, I din't want to tell my mom and dad but my sister made me to do. Then I texted them. My mom replied it first. Me, who already ready to go, went as soon as possible to catch the bus. In the bus, I met Mrs. Inung, my lecture at Unnes. I was shocked and happy as I would not be lonely along this journey. She told me that she is going to have presentation of her disertation tomorrow. Along the road, we talked about anything especially her disertation which is about servics cancer. It was shocked me that I already knew it can be modelized in mathematics way by using differential equation. WOOOWWWW.

I came to Magelang at 10.30. hemm, I miss the atmosphere, the weather, the people, and many more. Simbah gave me lots of wejangan. One of the most interesting was I should prepare my OLD days well because I'm not gonna work forever. He said "plan your future now, so that you won't regret it. The start line is now, now is nul, zero. You should know well what you're going to achieve until your unproductive age. So that, when that day comes, you won't get nerveous of being retired and you'll legowo to accept the situation. For instance, if you're going to be a civil servant, then what level you want to achieve? are you able to reach that level? how long you need to achieve it? what education background to comprehense that level?"

"You're now, 22 y/o. The ideal of a woman to get married is 25. Then you should have your first kid at 26 and the second is at 28. So, when you're turning to 50, when you have not retired yet and your 1st children is 25, get married. That's a well plan right? Some people say take these plan as a piece of cake but the truth is not. Everything should be planned in case that Allah will grant those wishes. Aamiin."

"Educate your self and your future children with independence. do not ask people to do what you should do. do it yourself. do not depend with anyone especially with your parents. Be independent, be strong. Admit when you were wrong then make it better. Do not regret what you have choosen. At the end of this road, you'll be alone. So prepare about it."

 That was a good talk, Sir. Great to talk to you. I hope someday, Allah will permit us to meet again. aamiin.
