New Year's Reflection

"Kalau kamu ngerasa mama kamu bodoh, jangan kesel, karena berarti mama kamu berhasil besarin kamu jadi pintar. Terima kasih gih."

"If you think your mother is stupid, don't be mad, be grateful. It means she has successfully raised you as a smart kid."

A tweet by a renown Indonesian movie producer.

A great reflection to start the year. Quite often we see ourselves better and smarter than our parents. We tend to think they are old school and lame, we have nothing in common when it comes to decision making or way of thinking. It is because our ego, we failed to see the big picture here. My parents (I'm fortunate enough to still have a complete parents to guide me) work so hard for me and my brother to received the best education, so that we can be a better, smarter, wiser person than them. Yet, sometimes we still disrespect them.

I'm sorry and thank you Mom & Dad, without you guys I wouldn't be the person I am today.
