after i read "Sepatu Dahlan" it's a novel by khrisna pabhicara. it's about dahlan iskan, the inspirator. at page 30-31, i found some words that really touch me. conversation between dahlan and his father. it's so make me understand about life and money. it's make me down. so down to earth. in that book said, (in javanese):
"Iku kan tulisan Arab, Pak." kilahku.
"Tulisane pancen Arab-Melayu, tapi bahasane Jowo. Mau tahu?"
Aku mengangguk.
"Ojo kepingin sugih, lan ojo wedi mlarat."
"Jangan berharap jadi orang kaya dan jangan takut hidup melarat."
"Bagus," kata Bapak sambil menepuk-nepuk pundakku. "Yang kedua, sumber bening ora bakal nggolek timbo. Apa coba?"
"Sumur jernih ndak akan nyari timba."
"Betul, tapi itu arti umunya. Nanti kamu akan pelajari makna khususnya setelah mulai belajar di sekolah ini."
"Yang ketiga apa, Pak?"
"Pilih ngendi, sugih tanpa iman opo mlarat ananging iman?"
Dengan tegas aku menjawab, "Sugih ananging iman, Pak."it's really a conversation between father and son that inspires and stir my heart. that money isn't always envelop life. we can't live without money. but money isn't the only medium in life. because money doesn't always present in our lives, then remember that we still have faith. that's what i get from the conversation above.
