YOU NOT ALONE !!!

by Kom
32 replies
My name is Kom. I was born in 1974, Bali, Indonesia, At the age of 14 years,I have been thinking about the business. but the facts say otherwise.
My parents are very successful. Our life's journey went from good to worse in 1990. I have a younger brother who was born 15 years different with me,
I am very sorry to my brother,( Sorry brother hope you ok there) he was born with the condition that we did not expected, He can not walk, he totally just lying in the bed. We are trying as hard to help him, to hope he can be normal, like his friends.During the 19 years he just lying in the bed.
For all of you, who has problems about life, " YOU ARE NOT ALONE "

Long story make it short,
In 1995 I started helping economi of family to support life, My parents seemed have tired of all life. And time for me to take over the wheel of our family.
Having experience working in the hotel. I applied to one of the cruise ship for 9 years I worked on a cruise ship.
I fix all the family economic structure that has been destroyed and I did it.
My focus to my brother never end , and always hope he can be normal. but nothing is change.
In 2005 I built a business in Bali, my efforts a success until I have 9 employees working for me. but does not run long, in 2006 bombing in Bali again, becouse of that my business going down also because there are no tourists coming to Bali.
I fall into poverty. very poor life, I borrowed money every where. for two years, it's very-very painful.
In 2007 , I went back to the US. Work - work - work and work to pay My bank debt. I did it for 2 years working just to pay the bank debt. (2 years my friends)
Finally I managed well. The four houses that I have saved from the bank. But bad news I lost my brother forever in the midle of 2007( he pass away). Very-very sad I was not at home. I am still busy repairing the family economy. But I'm sure he understands. Now my job is to make it the economy of my family for future.
I will never despair. Whatever is blocking me. I have to deal with it. I have 2 boys home waiting for me. I fell paint every time I see kids play with his father .
Now with the hard life in past I still have problem coming, I know it problem never end. Now I have small business back home, hope can cover my economic in future.
I have been a luxurious life, I also been live in the worst life. That is the journey of my life and I do not know what will come. I always wished me happy in any condition.

No matter how old you are. how strong you are, how much money you have and so on but if the problem comes it is very hard to received, but when we look back We done it with great jobs.
Take time to complete ! always ready with a problem that will come, we will understand, This is the beauty of true life.

From that story this is I want to say
No matter what !
Dont give up and never give up !!! myfriends


Thank you

      Actually it's a huge improvement on what Kom used to write and it's a huge amount better than you could probably manage in Indonesian.

      Personally I admire Kom for have the guts to come on here and write messages. I know him from chats on Skype and he's a top chap.

      Good luck Kom, keep your chin up and keep going forward.

    I agree, a little hard to read (being from the US) but for some reason I couldn't stop reading. Just goes to show there is a whole world out there and just because you can't understand what others say or do doesn't mean their "drive to survive" doesn't exist just the same. Good Luck

    Kom - I didn't know about your brother. It's a shame to hear. Life is hard enough without watching someone we love suffer. I also didn't know you have children. I sure hope you can either get home to them or get them over here soon. It's so sad you have to be separated from them to provide for them. At least later on in life they will look back and understand how much you loved them and how diligent you were to make sure they were provided for.

    And if I get to tell anyone that I seriously think they will make it in the long run, it's you, friend. I, too, can see how much you have improved your writing skills just since we chatted and I know how hard a feat that is. You definitely have the drive to go anywhere you want.

    It's really a pleasure to know you, and it's very inspirational hearing your story and watching you grow. Prosperity to you and your family!

    Hello Kom. You are not alone.

    I am so sorry your brother died. It must be very difficult for you. And being away from your family too.

    Remember, we send messages to each other and you were going to start a business in Florida. I will help you write a few articles for your website, free. Let me know when you have your website ready.

    Life is short. Whenever I read something like this, it makes me appreciate what I have. Not what I could have.

    And it's difficult. I too had someone very close to me pass away a little over a year ago. Some days are good, other days are bad.

    Kom, your post has me thinking about time.



    Time - we all think we have lots of time but in reality we don't.

    I'll do it tomorrow, but what if tomorrow never comes?

    I'll do it later, but what if later isn't there?

    We do it to friends, to family, to our children, our spouses .... there is always "another time."

    What was so important that you didn't have time to spend with someone you love?

    What kept you from sharing a moment that creates a memory?

    We rush through our days always busy with things that need to be done, working, paying bills, cleaning, shopping, commuting, etc. - always watching the clock to see if we have "time" to finish our tasks.

    We never think "life time" when we look at the clock. No one sits and thinks "I hope I have enough life time left to spend with those I love".

    What if you had a "life time" clock that reminded you each day how much "time" you really had left in your life?

    Would you use it wisely or put it off another day?

    Would you be too busy to pick up the phone and call your kids, your spouse or a friend just to say "I was thinking of you today and I wanted you too know how grateful I am to have this time to share with you?"

    You are absolutely right, hard to read ,
    But if you pay attention,
    Just a little.
    Then you will understand,

    Attention, are indispensable in every moment.

    As I said with a deep meaning,
    Maybe you can not find in the dictionary

    criticism is a bridge to success for me,
    I do not feel that criticism is a threat to my success.

    I am happy you understand in the end, where other people who have read understood.

    Thanks again friend, from there I learned.

    I honestly say, when I read again, like mixed fried rice.

    Sorry for that Ryan

    Kom,
    You truly are not alone. Today is the third year anniversary of when I lost my brother. He was 56, much older than your brother, but still...it seemed much too soon to lose him.

    My thoughts are with you and your family. I hope you are reunited with your boys very soon.

    Sorry for your loss Kom, I find great inspiration in your dedication to supporting your family and the struggle to balance the economic structure thereof.

    There are many of us who undergo these trials and tribulations, and it's those who stand strong in the face of adversity... who prevail, to rise above and overcome those challenges.

    In doing so, it fuels encouragement and inspiration to others to NEVER give up!

    While some may never receive the true value of their efforts, by going above and beyond that which you are paid for always symbolizes the integrity of the person who is willing to make sacrifice for another, and the rewards can be greater than money!

    Take care, and be it you remain true to your values, for it is there the real treasure is buried.

    All the Best,

    Art
