Long Lost Childhood Friend...

"WHO IS YOUR FATHER?"

"WHAT IS YOUR ROOT?"

"TIME CHANGE FAST IT DEPEND ON YOURSELF."

"WHAT KNOWLEDGE HAVE YOUR PARENTS BEEN GIVING YOU?"

It all started with last night dinner place at my dad friend house, as i have nearly going to forget one of my lost friend that i had meet at my childhood time. Looking back for 15 years that his family had come back from Hong Kong. Yes it have been ages, look around we had change a lot for the last time we meet. I was small, there were big and fat. Now i have look the opposite of him.

Never know that time have past so fast he had bring back knowledge to me for good use. After listen too your story i never know that your family had a hard time in Hong Kong. Yes i do get what are you saying. life is a jerk, with full of motherfucker face in the business world who would cheat and run for money.

Listening to his story, i know what he had said and the meaning at the back of the story. Study is the most important then money and pride. Even A degree from a course from a famous college is still trash, cause the knowledge of that is too little then being a person of higher education in anywhere.

"Just remember don't go independent on yourself of who you are and never ever be greed cause this two can cause you your life forever. Always learn to ask, cause it does not cost you anything in life. Don't worry about other then education, cause your parents like love so much there that there is money and place you. " the word he said before i leave.

"DON'T GO INDEPENDENT ON YOURSELF AND NEVER EVER BE GREED."
