Who is the biggest influences in your life?

One of the biggest influences in life for me was the word ” poverty ” . When growing up, I was in a poor financial situation. I observed at my early age, people around my age have far better off than me. In terms of having financial, material, and good guidance from their parents. Is not a good thing to compared yourself from other but, that was what I have been seen and felt back then … So I wished and dreamed of ” someday “. ,,, that I would be living far better off among the people around me.

At the age 10, I already making my own money and helping out my family. I realized that there’s is no impossible if you dream and work hard on it. You have to work hard to make a dream come true … And the only weapon is to study hard. At least that was I thought, back when I was younger .. But in the third world country, that wasn’t enough! That wasn’t the case.

The reality in life is you have to have connection, money and fame to be in so called in a ” better life “, even though a person was smart, capable in the field. That is not a qualification and a priority. Am sure, this is not the first time everyone heard this story.

So I really worked very hard to get out of poverty. I tried so many kinds of worked in my country in a different fields, and from other country as well! I worked very hard from dawn to late at night back then. But now, at the moment I could safely say I am living far better off than I used to…

Now is your turn to ask yourself? Who is the biggest influences in your life? What is the situation that influences you? How did you manage to get through? Did it change you in many ways?

May this contents will helps and guides you improve your life in the future.
