Unlike the previous Fasting Month, this year I'm having another mission beside getting closer to Allah.
My friends and I are making this event themed nationalism in the environment of fighters of the nation history. Yes, they are old men and women (perhaps), with many messages from the past for the future of this nation. Beside making these people happy and raising back their spirit of nationalism, we're going to spread this precious messages from them to the entire nation, targeting the youths of the nation. I hope for my country's growth and prosperity in later years.
Earlier, I was going home by taxi. During the trip, the driver talked much about how our country is misleaded and all the negatives. I was only listening, agreeing and disagreeing with what he said inside my head. It was then when he said that the youth, like me, like us, should make a revolution again in order to make things better. He said we, the intellectual fighters should use whatever we have in mind and take it into action, especially the medical students. Why medical students? Because there are many young people whom are medical students in their time revoked revolution. Such as Budi Utomo.
I agreed, about this and I started talking about the mission I and my colleagues are having. I talked about publishing our event to the whole country, and he was supporting all the way. I never thought about publishing it to television programme, he suggested us to do that. I also told him about the upcoming essay competition regarding nationalism, and he was very enthusiastic in the idea. He even wants to participate in the competition.
Glad to see some people still care about how to improve the nation.
We just have to find an unusual but applicable way to do good changes. Changes, or revolution does not have to be all about wars and hardrock stuff, it can be pursued by intellectual approach. But sometimes, things do not go so well, and we must take another way to do it.
However our way to solve it, remember. The government and public both have the same thing they really care about, it is the country. Both of them should ally to make the country reach prosperity, avoid being the foe of each other. Support each other. When the fact government has forgotten about what they are standing for, remind them. That is our jobdesk as youth of the nation.
