Happy birthday dear. You don't feel like you're 11 years now. It seems just yesterday that I waited for Bunda all night to endure pain before your birth. It feels like just yesterday, my father heard your first cry loudly splitting early in the morning in Bogor which was quiet and cold. It was just yesterday, Dad saw for the first time your face was glowing reddish. At that time, Dad knew right away, you were special.

And then, my father passed 11 years which was extraordinary. Watching how your presence always brings joy. You must remember your childhood photos. Or your video when singing in that funny grandfather's house. You notice, everyone around you sees you in amazement, and laughs. You are a miracle for all of us.

You are also a great visionary. In the past, when we were still living in our first little house. You often patted the floor of our house, saying: "big fast home ...". Ah, apparently you wanted to have a bigger house at that time. And you think home can grow like a plant. But you are right. Princess as beautiful as you are, how can you stay in a narrow room. Because you want a bigger house, how can you refuse? You are so special. Meanwhile, my father's salary at that time, even though it was OK, if you saved it, maybe you could only buy a bigger house for 20 years. At that time my father immediately thought, how?

As if the instructions from God, Father then saw the advertisement of a book in the newspaper, the title was "Rich Dad - Poor Dad". The contents are provocative. Daddy went directly to the bookstore, bought the book, besides of course Princess magazine for you. Daddy was really surprised by the contents of the book. What had always been my father's aspirations as if he was turned upside down with Mr. Robert who made up the book. Originally, Dad wanted to be the CEO of a multinational company. It seems very likely, seeing Father's work performance at that time. However, it turns out that if you live, it's the same as a rat trapped in a wheel. Later my father will be more busy and not have time to play with you. Not to mention your big house? Daddy was even more curious. How to?

Be my father at that time more often to the bookstore. Apparently many books discuss how to achieve success. Daddy bought one by one. Of course, besides Princess magazine for you. Father is convinced, that we are responsible for our own future. Father is very confident that he can realize a better future. Dad feels he must do something immediately. Dad doesn't want to hesitate. At that time, I immediately decided to get out of work and make my own business. At that time your words that you remember were: "Daddy is boss?" Thank you son. You have appreciated your step.

Son, it turns out that God gave valuable lessons for Dad. That even though we feel strong or great. Not always what we plan will happen. Except for the permission of Allah. Many of my father's plans were not going well. While Mother, You and Ade must have returned to Bogor, because Mother returned to work there. We must be separate. The nights that Father passed were very heavy nights. Without your presence, with the pressure of work that turned out to be heavier than what you thought. Not infrequently my father became doubtful and afraid. But every time Dad returns to Bogor and sees you and Ade going through life, Dad gets a lot of lessons. You are always cheerful, always laughing, and as if there is no place for sadness and fear in your heart. Daddy wants to be like you. You are the one who made Father never decide to give up.

Alhamdulillah, father's efforts slowly went according to plan. And, like your wishes, Father and Mother can make a house bigger than our home. Exactly six times wider than our home. And you have your own spacious room. Our house is for you dear. You can watch your favorite Disney Channel, you can browse your idol website to your heart's content. And only 20 minutes to your school.

Ah boy, you've been 11 years old. And more and more surprises for Dad. I don't know what's in your mind now. You are even interested in watching the Secret movie, whether you understand it or not. What is clear is that you are very fascinated by the scene of a child who wants the bike right? You also secretly take and try to read the Secret book. You have also read the extraordinary children's empowerment book, "the Power of One" from James Lee Valentine. Wow son, you can't imagine, life is what you will live later. It must be amazing. Times have changed greatly. My father noticed that your close friends and parents were mostly entrepreneurs like Father. Some have a computer shop, a clothing store. Ah, you and your friends are in an extraordinary environment.

So, kid. Continue to have the cheerfulness and courage that you always see in your clear eyes. You will soon be in elementary school. But you don't have to think too much about your value. Just do the best, with honesty and confidence. Regardless of the results, Dad will always be proud. You also don't need to be too afraid not to be accepted in your favorite junior high school. God willing, you will not apply for a job anyway. Instead you will create jobs.

Daddy has read scribbles in your dream book. Amazing kid. Beyond my dreams. I'm sure you are heading there. Amen.

Send warm regards,

Your father
