I wanted to wear that black suit...
Sit at the back seat of a Mercedes-Benz, saying where to go to the uniformed driver..
I dreamed a fight with my pen which worth billions of dollar..
I watched Donald Trump saying 'you're fired', and I wanted to be a CEO, Full stop.
Few years later, the first time I read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons.
One day my aunt asked me about my future and I said, "I want to be a physicist!"
She looked at me and said, "there's no future for physicist, in Indonesia. Where do you want to work? LIPI?!"
She left me, and I said to myself, "sure! I AM going to CERN..."
I don't really know what am I going to do there. But, just CERN, Full stop.
In my early years of high school,
i turned my head, adoring such a technology so much. Aeroplane. I like it's beautiful curve. It's uniformly-white colour.
I'm not like other people sharing same interest with me that wonders how could such a big thing fly. It's not the major point for me. Well, it flies, that's why we call it an aeroplane. And about how it flies, that's matter fact what we call technology. You adore it because you can't understand it. If you really master it, there will be no more adoration on it.
The thing is, I really love planes.
I can't decide whether I love to design it, own some of it, or even just seeing it. But I said to myself "I'm going to take aero-astro."
This time my dad confront me: "where do you wanna work? Indonesia only have one plane manufacturer. And they've collapsed long time ago, if I'm not mistaken."
Why do people always worry of the future?Are you doing something just to secure a place in such a company?
I was a good debater a the time. I ask lots of senior studying aero-astro, and receiving A to Z about working with aero-astro background. I answered my dad. And I'm sure about my choice. AERO-ASTRO, Full stop.
In my last days of high school,
I wanted to be a doctor. I love life science at the time. Adoring the creation of God, that His thought was even deeper than cells, deeper than DNA. I saw a doctor as the most powerful person in this world. With a signature of a doctor, a court-session could be called off. With a signature of a doctor, you could legally skip classes. What a power.
It was not all about the power. I found that it was a noble profession. Helping people, treating them that's more than just writing list of medicine on a sheet of paper called prescription. It's more than hearing. It's a profession that listen. And I like that. Therefore, I decided to be a doctor, Full stop.
How many full stops are there?
