Even a 10 years-old boy can inspire us. Robby Novak the Kid President

Oh my God, I love this kid. Robby Novak is so awesome and cute (I think, he even more adorable than Kai or Dustin). This 10 years-old boy is well known as Kid President. The fact is he is so inspiring.

First time I know this boy is from this video. It's his video about "Ten Things Every Mom Needs to Know". 

Being enchanted by his bundle of cuteness in that video, I browsed for more about his awesomeness. 

In video of A Pep Talk from Kid President to You, Novak came with quoting the wisdom of Robert Frost's "The Road not Taken."

"Two roads diverged in the woods, and I took the road less traveled."

It hurt, man! Really bad! Rocks! Thorns! And glass!

... Not cool Robert Frost!  

But what if there really were two paths? 

I want to be on the one that leads to awesome

And what makes me more admire him is because he teaches everyone to be awesome and not giving up on dreams. It's really heart touching when I know that Robby Novak was born with Osteogenesis imperfecta disorder (a brittle bone condition). You can see in those videos he even ran, danced a lot, and kept smiling. He totally inspires us to less complaining and keep enjoying live. What a boy :)

Oh, the Places You'll Go

Do you love tales? I do. I adore tales so much since I was a kid. Though I don't know many of tales, I believe that they are not only about happy endings and fun stories, there's always a valuable lesson in every story we read.

By the way, I have one thing to be shared to you now. Oh, the Places You'll Go by Dr Seuss is one of my favorite tale, and I just knew it when I already 18. So, I watched movie "The Lorax by Dr. Seuss." I loved the story of it, then I came up search about the film and I got that Dr. Seuss is a beloved children's book author. (Before The Lorax, there were also Dr. Seuss' books have been made into movies, How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 2000,  The Cat in the Hat in 2003, and Horton Hears a Who in 2008). Then, I went to youtube and found this story, Oh, the Places You'll Go.

I also found this video by Burning Man, covered this story beautifully.

This is a children's story, but I think it also can be for teenagers, adult, everyone. It inspires me a lot. The story teach us about a thing or two about life, that we can go wherever we want and be whoever we want. Further, we gonna face a lot things that may not always go on our way. Sometimes, we gonna go to the worthless condition where we're just waiting...

This is my favorite line of the story: 

Be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O’Shea, you’re of to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So…get on your way!

I'm just smiling right after watched this story, wondering every precious words in it.

I hope you'll gonna be inspired too :)

Childhood, then and now

As a teenager who live in this kind of era, I feel so lucky because I had have such a wonderful childhood. I remember how I loved to play with other kids of my neighborhood, built a camp at my garden with my sisters, fell down when I was learning how to ride a bike, played so many kind of traditional games such as Tabak, Kelereng (marbles), Galah Hadang, Petak Umpet (hide and seek), Congklak, Gasing, Ular Naga, Lompat Tali, watched boys played kite and guessed whose will be the highest. I also remember the time when my grandfather told a story about Kancil dan Buaya, Timun Mas, Kancil Mencuri Timun, and many more. How fun it was...

Here it comes my most favorite thing when I was a little girl, I loved listening to kid songs. I have a stack of children song cassettes, from Agnes Monica, Trio Kwek Kwek, Maissy, Tasya, Enno Lerian, Joshua, and many others. Indeed, I still remember most of the songs, you can test me to sing it. These songs are really meaningful and appropriate for kids age, the lyrics filled with persuasion to be a good children, persuade us to study to become a smart kid who can make our parents proud, also the lyrics suggest us to love our country. Aaah I just really love it!

But now, it's really hard to find traditional games which need kind of direct interaction to cooperate with your friends. It also hard to find those children songs that suit to the age. What we can find now is junior boy bands sing kind of  love songs even they're not old enough to think about it.

These things make me feel really sorry with kids who live in this time until I found out these. 

There are people who still care and want to bring back the happiness of childhood in Indonesia :)

Quotes about Journey

Do they not travel through the land, so that their hearts (and minds) may thus learn wisdom and their ears may thus learn to hear? Truly it is not their eyes that are blind, but their hearts which are in their breasts.
