Biographies : Me and My Friend

Hi! I would like introduce myself. My name is Aprilia Zainatul Hussna, but you can call me April. I was born in Tangerang, April 1 1998, so I'm now 15 years old. I live at Ancol Tengah Street number 27 Bandung. I have one brother, Adam, one year apart from me. He can be a little annoying sometimes, but he can also be a caring person. I love Italian food, especially pasta. When I have some free time I often listen to music, sometimes read books, and watch movies. I also love learning Biology, because I find it interesting to know more about living things and, of course, no hard-thinking needed! What I want was to be materially and spiritually successful. But what I want more than those was to be a better person everyday. And I have a motivation to do that, and it's my mom. She's the coolest, toughest woman I ever knew. I could have never type this document without her blood and tears. 

I think that will do about me. Now, I'm going to introduce you with my friend, Ririn. Her full name is Ririn Fitiana. She was born at February 23 1998. She lives in Dayeuhkolot. She has one brother, Dani. She likes Sundanese food, all kinds of it. She also loves book for all range of genres. She likes learning Science, especially Astronomy. She just wants to be useful to others, make her parents proud, have a happy life, and of course, to go to heaven in the afterlife. To make those wishes come true, she learns a lot from her parents which also serves as her inspiration and motivation to do so. I think I've explained her quite enough. Thank you for reading these biographies about me and my friend.

Parable - An Office Boy

A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at a very big company. The employer interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor.
“You are hired.” – the employer said. ”Give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application to fill, as well as when you will start.”
The man replied, “I don’t have a computer, neither an email.”
“I’m sorry,” said the employer, “if you don’t have an email , you cannot have the job.”

The man left with no hope. He didn’t know what to do, with only $10 USD in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket, bought a 10 kg tomato crate, then sold the tomatoes door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded and doubled his capital. He repeated the operation 3 times and returned home with $60 USD. The man realized that he could survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and returned late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday. Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

Five years later, the man’s company was one of the biggest food retailers. He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied: “I don’t have an email.”
The broker replied curiously, “You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Do you imagine what position you could have if you had an email?”
The man paused for a while, and replied: “An office boy!”
Don’t be discouraged if something is not in your favor today. Better opportunities are always waiting ahead.
