Be Self-Reliant
Strength and pride through self-reliance
"Learn to rely on yourself"
Learn to rely on yourself
Even if no one encourages you
When you are young, rely on your parents, it is called "being raised"
When you grow up, you still rely on your parents, it is called "an islander."
Being self-reliant is called "being an adult."
Being self-reliant is why you can smile with pride
Not much wealth, know how to find it
No house, no car, know how to build it
Tired, discouraged, know how to forget
Suffering, crying, and knowing how to comfort yourself
Others can only give you... seedlings
Plant it yourself, then you will receive shade
When in need, don't blame others for not supporting you
In times of crisis, don't be resentful that others don't support you
If you are strong, the problems you encounter are your "motivation."
If you are brave, the crises you encounter are your "opportunities"
Holding on to the ego may lead you astray
Holding on to others may cause you to lose your sense of self
Keep persevering...
Be self-reliant .. Everything is yours
Be strong...
Be self-reliant
Even.. without the applause of the people
But.. you are proud
Being self-reliant is.. ''Real person''..

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
