I remember being isolated by my classmates. It felt really bad to be ignored. But then one friend stood up for me and make things right. And I thought... “Wow...friends do that?”. Then life is wonderful again.
When the world turn their backs on me, these people stood by my side.
When I was 16 I left them for another school. I learnt to adapt again with new people, new environment, new mentality. There were a lot of challenges. Like, A LOT. Crisis rise again. I was given a task to lead a group of people. Worst, the crowd was already in a crisis before I came. I wasn’t a good leader. I did really bad. I made a lot of mistakes, so I was hated by the people I led. I could say, my 17’s was the worst moment of my life. I given out more than 1 liter of tears. If only I had found John MAxwell’s book that moment! HAha...
Through that period, some people become significant in my life. They were the people who stays and brings me comfort.
When there’s a crisis, there is victory
I would say my victory is uncovering the treasure of friendship and leadership.
About my weaknesses as a leader, when I finished school I started to do the Herbalife business. We were trained to become a wellness coach and a leader of our organization. Then I started reading the books written by John MAxwell. I analyzed mistakes I did when I was in school. I couldn’t regret for history, but I could do my best for today and tomorrow. Every moment I still feel the pain of the past, but I am grateful for the gift to learn from my lesson.
Now I am 20. New friends came into my life. We went through conflicts, and solve, and we became closer. We understand each other better. Some people, they escape when there’s conflicts. They only find a comfortable roof to give shade. Find another friends. Some people, they face it, solve it, and they value it.
You must have heard the of the phrase, “Fair weathered friend” or in Malay, “Kawan ketawa senang dicari, kawan menangis susah dicari.”
