Reflection Journal 1


"Life is Like a  cup of coffee"
“Life is like a cup of coffee” that is often associated with human life. Cup is like the human being is never finished. Such as education, money, jobs, recognition and so on. While coffee is viewed as a basic human need in everyday life such as shelter, food and clothing. At this time people preferred the "cup" in their lives and not balanced with "coffee". The question is why this can happen? This is because human behavior is never satisfied with what belongs and wants to compete with one another. Through the recording of this short story, it gives me inspiration in my life to do his best and make the right decision. For me, for my life I was a teenager and a student is "cups and coffee" should be balanced because the cup is like education to me so that I can achieve my ambitions and be good to my parents. Education is important because not only can achieve my ambition but I can change my family's standard of living if I get a job soon. My parents had a great dream to see me graduate with distinction in education and soon found a job that guarantees the future. I was the eldest of three siblings so my parents' expectations are very high to me so I will make sure that I will not disappoint them. Especially my father who had worked hard to support family life and ensure her children are not neglected simply because he did not want her children to live hard up. So did my mother who raised me with love and never give up praying for my success. While the "coffee" is the love, belief in God, and the spirit in life. Love from family, friends, and those around me is important to me. This is because enough love for me will keep me from the influence of social ills. As we understand the growing social problems among teenagers is increasing, is due to the lack of attention and affection. Religious faith and belief in God is important because it teaches us to always do good and avoid evil. Besides that, the spirit of those people around, especially my family will strengthen me to put more effort into my education for my future and family. That's what I can learn in this short video. Relax the mind with a cup of coffee. Enjoy coffee with it not by type of cup. As well as with life, thanks to what belongs and not continue to compete in the real world. Appreciate life as best as possible because of the opportunity only once so do the waste.
