Assalamualaikum,
On Last 2 weeks ago Abi bought me a good book to read, "Mimpi Sejuta Dolar "( one million dollar dreaming) by Merry Riana and write by Alberthiene Endah. Firstly i know Merry Riana from twitter. and also i have visit her website, it's so awesome for her dream,he carrier,her lifestyle.
This book about her long journey about her story to earning one million dollar 26 years old, can you believe it?.At her young age, she become one of best women motivator at Southeast Asia not only for Indonesia.
She's Indonesian, but she has collage in Singapore, NTU ( Nanyang Technological University) , she went there not because she's rich but because she forced by Indonesia situation at 1998, that we know , we have a horrible tragedy on that period,best known with May Tragedy 1998 demonstrate between collage student and police,pillage everywhere, mostly for Chinese store, and she's come from Chinese family. That's why her parents sent her to Singapore for her safety. In despite of she's very scared to have live on another country which have different culture,language,behaviour,lifestyle etc by her own.
She's live on boarding university.Per week she just have SGD 10 to survive. she do anything for survive, when lunch time calling she just eat for a slice for bread at toilet and drink water from the university faucet, when nobody one see it, cause there's no one who will drink on that water except her.
To make her goal, which she has a free financial at 30 years old, she start her first job with flayer distributing, medicine MLM ( K-line as i remember :D),also work at florist, work with also some multilevel marketing online but all she has failed, she cheated by other people and last work with stock broker. For the long Journey she has a lot of denial and failed, but she always struggle and stick with her big dream, and not forgot also she always pray while she keep trying to make up her dream.
This book is really good for the beginner who want to start business,like me instead. she teach how we should fight with ourself cause that's the most difficult war, to fight with our ego,our silliness,our laziness,and to keep spirit on our blood, to keep straight on our goal.Found some interesting words that always running on my head " success is failed at first before you're arrive at the end of your dream ". So don't be afraid of your big dream, all is just start with your dream,all can make it happen as long as you keep always on your heart,mind,and body.
PS : i'm not recommended this book for you, who doesn't have a dream!
Good comment and a good start to practice your English. Keep it up and improve it especially on your grammar. A fatal error to be avoided in English: Never use "to be" (am, is & are) with verb1.
