Just cherish what we have !!!

I always complain that why we have to work until late and sometimes we have to take our works home and do it at home. But then i realize that we have to cherish everything we have, including our job.

I met my friend two days ago, he went to Medical Faculty and now is on his practical to become a doctor. He came to Jakarta to have some fun since it was long weekend. He arrived at Jakarta on 170512, and went back to Palembang on 190512. We had some fun with other friends while he was at Jakarta. Yesterday 180512 we went out till midnight around 2 AM, and his flight would depart on 6.30 AM. And he had to directly go to Hospital after his arrival at Palembang.

I bbm him around 10 AM today and asked him if he had arrived at Palembang. He told me, he had arrived and he was so sleepy, but he still had to work. Then I told him, “you can sleep till drop tomorrow since tomorrow is Sunday”. He replied me, “I have my night work (“jaga malam”) tomorrow”

Just then I feel that I really have to cherish my job. I work until late, but I don’t have to work at Sunday, and I don’t have any night work job.

I felt tired because of waking up earlier these three days. And felt like i haven’t sleep well. But then what about him, he didn’t sleep well also and had to go to work as soon as his arrival at Palembang.

CHERISH WHAT WE HAVE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

We had some conversation while he was here. He told me, “Everyone said that becoming a Doctor is great, because they make a lot of money. Do you think it’s profitable?”. Because TIME VALUE OF MONEY was in my mind that time, so I told him, “Not profitable. Because you invest a lot of money now but you earn it later, after a long time. Money that you invest now has the higher value than money that you earn later”. He said he was agree.

But then, I thought a lot. I changed my mind.
It’s a profitable proffesion, I think. Okay, you invest a lot of money that has higher value than money that you earn later. But THINK, (Let’s say...) I have a shop and You have a clinic.  There was a lot of factors that will affect my shop’s income : consumers’ habit, inflation, economy, consumers’ needs, etc. But for a DOCTOR, income is always there, because sickness is a part of human life. And, in TIME VALUE OF MONEY, i forgot that it also has TERMINAL VALUE.

What we have invest for our knowledge : INITIAL OUTLAY
What we earn (after deducting expenses) : CASH FLOW
But if we can earn it forever, it certainly has TERMINAL VALUE
This TERMINAL VALUE will give you positive CASH FLOW forever as long as you can control your expenses.
From FINANCE perspective, it’s PROFITABLE.
And From SOCIAL perspective, it’s also PROFITABLE. With your knowledge, you HELP a lot of people. You HELP them to stay alive.

ECONOM help government to increase their economic growth.
ARCHITECTURE makes this country has a great infrastructure, and of course best infrastructure will help everyone and everything in this country to transport well.
TECHNIC will help company to produce product, help this country to build its infrastructure and make communication in this world become more easier.

EVERYONE in this world is IMPORTANT. WE ARE PART OF THIS WORLD.
