Looking Succes through My Eyes (wrote in 2 Sept 2008)

hm still connecting to my birthday, suddenly i have a lot of idea in writing.. i think all of us have a dream rite? so i’ve been thinking lately about my dream, a lot of people been asking me what do i want in my birthday.. i usually answered a successful life.. but what is successful life really mean for me? so i’ve been looking for the answer for quite a long time but still it got me confuse on deciding the definition for me..
When i think about this matter, i suddenly remembered the seminar that i participated a few years back than.. the tutor of the seminar explain that in order to have a success life, one of the element that necessary is a supporting life partner (aka wife or husband).. he then told a story (i didn’t really remember the details but this is the key points of the story) that he knew a guy who open a store that become quite success then the owner decided to open another 2 stores which both the stores has become profitable.. when he saw he that he’s thinking on risking his capital to make the store bigger n hopefully will bring more profit, but his wife disagree and so he called it off.. the tutor at that seminar said that this guy failed to success because he didn’t have the "supportive wife".. he chose to declined his plan because of the disagreement that coming from his wife..
when i heard the story for the first time, i’m agree with the tutor but today when i’m thinking about success, i suddenly changed my opinion.. you may found it really cliche, but i end up thinking that everybody have their own opinion or definition regarding to success rite? what somebody think of success may be different than the other’s.. i know that majority of people equivalent money with success but there are people who didn’t put money to define success.. that guy for example, he believe that his wife is more important than all the money he can possibly have.. Maybe for him, a successful life is a successful marriage and in that term he might be successful.. yup each of us have our own idea about an "ideal life" rite?
other thing, when i’m in jkt n currently staying with my father’s friend, she said something to me that really struck me.. first of all she’s said that a man (read: person) must have a purpose in his life.. people who didn’t have a goal is normally people who depressed the most.. but she also distinguish the difference between dream (angan2, dunno the english so i translate it into dream) and purpose.. she’s said everybody has a dream but only a few that have a purpose in their life.. when somebody has a dream, he didn’t makes the plan how to achieve his dream, for example when people ask what is your dream, they normally just said they want to be rich but they didn’t make a plan how to achieve that dream, they only dream it and hope that one day God may grant their wishes.. but a man with a purpose in his life, he set up "the blue print" how to achieve his purpose, and he follow it step by step.. it didn’t happened in one night but it could took years of countless hard works depending on your purpose..
so back to my life, what is success for me? how i define it? i think success is when I achieve my purposes and able to said in the end that i’ve done my best.. so it lead to another question what is my purpose in life?hm honestly its a very difficult question to answer, so i tried to simplified it by making the list on 10 thing that must happen in my life and hopefully at the end it can make mu satisfied:
1. take my master degree in France, hopefully my doctoral degree as well
2. get a job and live in Canada (dunno why but it seem a beautiful country for me)
3. backpacking throughout Europe while earning my degree (hopefully i have the chance for the world also)
4. find my soulmate and making a family, then be a good father and an good exemplar for my children
5. honeymoon in places with a beautiful beach then Make Love with my soulmate in the sea-shore ^_^
6. write a book and become a writer (it will be great if i can even make this for a living as well)
7. being a son that can makes my parents proud and makes them happy
8. Remain faithful on the value that i believe today (even if it have to changed, hopefully its still a good value) and God till the end of my life
9. being able to grow old with my soulmate and still love each other (i picturing us in our 80s and still holding hand while walking in the park n seeing sunset together)
10. In the end of my life, i can proudly say that i have a good life, no regret and God’s been good to me
