2 BIG DREAMS (2nd Section)

As title above, i have 2 big dreams. If i wrote my career dream, now i'd like to share what kind of person that i wanna be. My hobbies are inspired me to have this dream. My hobbies are watching anime, football, and play games. It looks like unsocial person (or in Japanese said "おたく”) right? Don't worry, i'm not unsocial person. It just for entertain me. However, from this hobbies, I found my 2nd dream in my life. I don't care your reaction or opinion because it looks ridiculous or childish or naive but I would like to be a real man! A gentleman! One of my favorite Japanese anime inspire me to have this and football too. One Piece and Football are inspired me to be a real man. What is real man? I'm sure everyone has their own opinion. For me, a real man is a person who have responsibility with their action, decision, and words. A real man never runaway from challenge. A real man never wanna be loser. They always wanna be a winner. A real man never have doubt with their decision. They always have big confidence with their action. A real man never wanna give up. Once they fall, they'll get up and fight again. A real man is the man who can protect someone who is very important for them. A real man is the man who can understand girls. A real man is the man who always stand by his family and love them until the end of his life. A real man is not have big muscle, macho body, or handsome face! Remember it! I would like to be a real man! Right now, i'm nothing. I'm still young and need to learn more. However, someday i'll be a real man. Okay, let me explain to you why one piece and football inspire me to be a real man.

 One Piece is boy's anime. Even many girls like one piece too, but from the story, characters, and story message, it's boy's anime. Disagree? Well, you'd better know one piece story line from beginning until now and understand the story. In one piece, they often mention about " a real man is......." or men's dream. It's more than pirates anime because Luffy is not like pirates. It's about dream, adventure, and friendship. The reason i like one piece is not only the story and cool action, i love this anime because the story message is touch my heart. It's inspiring me to be a real man. For example, when Roronoa Zoro tried to protect Luffy from Bartholemew Kuma in thriller bark section he said "i'll let you have one head! However, in exchange, please take my life for this! My head may not be worth much at the moment, but this is the head of a man who will eventually become the world's number one swordsman! Surely that should be enough!" and then Kuma ask to Zoro "despite your great ambition, you wish to take that man's place, and approach death?" then Zoro answered "aside from that, I see no other way to save my crew. If you can't replace your captain, then your ambition is worthless! LUFFY IS THE MAN WHO'S GOING TO BECOME PIRATE KING!" This is one of my favorite moment in one piece. From Zoro's action, he showed his loyalty to his captain, his great ambition, and his responsibility to protect his friends. In real life, a real man must do this. It's cool right? It'll be very cool if we can do it. This is one of one piece's story message. There are a lot of message in one piece which enough to inspire me to be a gentlemen.

Next, for me, Football is more than sports. Football is not about dribbling ball, passing, and scoring. It's not about win or lose, or to be champion. To be winner, football players must work hard. Skill is not enough to win. Spirit is also not enough for win. Football teach me many important things in this life. Football is not only players who play football on the pitch, but coaches, official teams, general management, federation, and fans. Football is teach me about impossible is nothing. There is no impossible dream. You know, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Ricardo Kaka, David Villa, and other famous football players, they're not rich people. They start their football career with many challenge that make everyone said "It's impossible to be football players" or "don't have stupid dream. Being fooball players is impossible!" Messi, who get FIFA Ballon d'or (award for best players in the world) for 4 times, he had problem with his immunity when he was child. He had problem with his body growth, and injected for many times to cure his body growth problem. But, Messi never give up. He kept working hard even if he'd big problem and everyone said he has no good body to be football player. The result? He won FIFA Ballon d'or for four times. Ricardo Kaka, 2007 FIFA world best player, he had problem with his knee when he was child. He got accident and his knee had big injured. The doctor said it's very difficult to play football with this injury. However, Kaka keep fighting and he become one of the best football player. So many stories about football which teach me to not stop dreaming even it looks impossible because impossible is nothing. About impossible is nothing, it remind me the legendary Champions League Final. Istanbul, Turkey 2005, had shown everyone to not give up until the end. my favorite team Liverpool FC beat AC Milan in penalty games after draw 3-3. In the first half, AC Milan had scored 3 times! In this situation, it's very impossible for Liverpool to win the game. However, in 2nd half, Liverpool scored 3 times! Everyone in stadium and all commentators were speechless! Then, Liverpool won the game after Penalty section. Amazing right? Football also can bring happiness to people! when poor children in developing countries have a lot of problem, just give them ball and they'll forget their pain. They feel happy when they're playing football. So many good study from football that i can't mention all in here. It's enough for me to know that there is no impossible dream. In football, once football players come to the football pitch, they can't go back again! They have to fight until the end. They're fighter! They have to show their character to win the game. In Football, leadership, team work, and communication are very important things. The strong team is not always be winner, but the winner is the strong one! Respecting each other is very important. No matter where they come from, background life, and skin colors, every part of football must respecting each other! Toleration is absolute!

My hobbies is not only hobby. It's not only entertainment. It's life study for me! Even people around me it's ridiculous thing, but for me it's study life. I wanna be a man who have responsibility with my words, action, and decision. I wanna be a man who can keep promise until the end. I wanna be a man who can fight until the end and never give up whatever happen. I wanna be a man who can protect important people in my life. I wanna be a man who never stop dreaming and never give up to realize all my dream. I wanna be a man who never runaway from any challenge. I wanna be a winner. I hate being loser. Now, I still learn how to being a real man. I'm still young and my life still long (hopefully). I have a lot of things that i must to do. I've challenged many things in my life especially after i go out from my home study abroad in Japan. I laugh, happy, sad, and cry! It's part of life study. I wanna be strong. I know human is weak. But i don't wanna give up with that weakness. I wanna be fighter. Of course i'm not alone. I have my family who always support me even they far from me. I also have my 2nd family in Japan who always bring cheerfulness and laugh. I have best friends who always keep in touch of me. I have friends who will stand by me when i fall. I might fail someday. However, my family, my 2nd family, my best friends, and my friends will stand by me and push me to wake up and fight back. I trust them! I love them! They're very important in my life. I'll be stronger and so that i can protect them and support them when they have problem. I'll be a real man! Now i'm nothing, but someday, you will see what i'm saying now is not bullshit! I'll fight to realize my dream because IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!
