Ketoprak

weather nowadays is rather hot, and the time show that it's lunch time. i was willing to eat "ketoprak" one of the traditional food in indonesia. the main ingredients of that food is "Lontong" or compressed rice cake. but when i ordered to the waiter to made a "Ketoprak", he said :

WAITER = pardon me sir, but the "Lontong" has been sold out. if you insist to eat "ketoprak" i could make it by using the original cooked rice.

i was shocked at that time, how could you presents "ketoprak" without a "lontong". i couldn't belive it, but something inside me said : tried it. and the waiter said :

WAITER = i won't disappoint you sir, then i agreed to tried it out.

and by the time i ate, i felt something different, this "Ketoprak" was excelent. this short story of mine, tell us something good. don't give up easily. reminds me of a good wise word : IF THERE WAS NO CANE, USE THE ROOTS.

You've got to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and fail and learn and stand up again. The question is not whether you will or will not make mistakes - you will. The question is do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to shrink back and be stuck? Take that step you've been avoiding. You can succeed, or you can get feedback that it didn't work, but in either case you are sure to feel alive.
