Learn to be Independent

By : Hasnia

Independent? What is independent? According to oxford’s dictionary, Independent does not need money from other people, able to work alone. In that case, it is hard to be independent, isn’t it??

When I read in a magazine, I found the information that people in America and Singapore are independent, they may stay in their parent’s house until they got their real age, the real age means: when they pass in senior high school, they have to go from their parent’s house, such as go to boarding house or looking for the job. They just come to their parent’s house if there is a holiday or an event. That what really happens in some modern countries, such as America and Singapore. Can we apply that custom in our country? And have you ever thought about that?
To be independent is hard and if we just stay, never think about it, our way of life will not change. If you don’t start to be independent, your children and then your grand children, and keep going on will not be independent.
Start now!
It refers to my experience, in fact, to be independent is not that difficult but it is not easy well. It depends on the people, it is whether you want to try or just stay and wait for something to happen in the next day. Don’t be like that because what you do now will give impact the next time. It may sound strange but my father once told me it is real. That was the first time I was thinking about my life.
At midnight I woke up and pray, I closed my eyes and I wanted to change my paradigm, I tried to smile, smiled to the sun and smiled to the stars, moon in the night. And now I know to be independent is not that difficult, however, it is not easy too. Try to smile when we find something that makes us give up, think positively, be brave and believe that God will always be with you. Do your best and you will get the best, and be patient because patient is something that makes us independent, always be patient.
So, for my friend, be independent, by being independent we can find the real thing, do not make our parents confused because now we know that independent is not that difficult, keep in our mind that we can do it, without help and be yourself.

So we can start to become independent by:
1.Smiling
2.Being brave
3.Being Patient
4.Believe in your self

First, we have to smile so the future will also smile to you because the future depends on you and next is brave. Brave means all the way we want to do then just do it. Do not be afraid because it is one of the best way to be independent but do not be afraid if it is wrong it becomes your great experience and then be patient because all the things need process, and the last but not least is believe. It means that don’t forget to pray to God that everything will be good and believe in yourself, so just think positively.

Think first and try now, do not wait until tomorrow!
