For My Inspiration, Dina Oktaviani

Good afternoon Mbak Dina Oktaviani…

How are you? I hope God always bless us. Amin.

First of all, may I call you with “mbak”? I think our ages are close enough. Well, mbak Dina, do you know that you are my inspiration now? After reading your letter that Mas Dalih showed in the class I think you are a wonder woman. You told your hard life but you also told how to face it. One thing that I get from you is you always have positive thinking in facing many problems.

        Mbak Dina, I do not suppose that you have such kind of misery in your childhood. Maybe if I were you, I could not have survived to live. You experienced something that any other people did not face. Although you’ve ever thought that you are worse than the other your sisters or brothers but I think you are not. You have the inner beauty that people do not have. Moreover, I am not interested in your misery but in your struggle to solve the problem. You believe that there is the best thing behind the problem that we get. As a result, you are able to show your strength by being creative in writing literature. Now, although you are successful you are still humble. You want to share your experience to us, as your juniors, about how life is. You are inspiring us to be a better human by being positive in facing the problem. 

In brief, I just want to thank to you mbak Dina for your sharing that is inspiring us. We hope that we could be as successful as you in creating the works. Moreover, we also hope that Mbak Dina could write the other inspiring work and publish it in many countries. 

Thank you very much Mbak Dina… We Love You..
