Hello my name is Fairuuz Ryanhilmi Hibatullah. My friends usually call me Fairuuz or sometimes fai. I am in the second grade of 3 senior high school. Now I want to tell about my strength, my weakness, and my dreams.

First I want to tell you about my weakness. To be honest actually I am an emotional person. It is very hard to live our life when we can be angry in every situation. But when I finally accepted in senior high school I tried to reduce this. And now I the second grade of senior high school, finally I can reduce my emotion. My other weakness is I am hard to stay focus on something.

Now I want to tell about my strength. In my opinion I am good at sport. After 16 years live in this world I realize that I can do almost all the sport that I’ve tried. Football, golf, swimming, softball and many other sport are my strengths. My other strength is I am an easy going person.

The last I want to tell about my dreams. As a teenager I have million dreams. From become a businessman until living in Milan, I’ve got so many dreams to tell. for now I want to tell about my dreams for 10 years ahead from today. First I want to graduated from my school and accepted in Binus University or maybe Cambridge university if I can. After graduated from university I want to start my business plan. Well I want to open a company that made sport apparel or something that connect with sport.

Maybe that’s a little thing about my strength, weakness, and dream. Thank you.

short story

The Ship of Friendship

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.

The two survivors who have been a good friends, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man’s parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island.

He considered the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”

“My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything.”

“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”

“Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “What did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”

“He prayed that all your prayers be answered “

Moral: For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us (Congregational Prayer). Value your friends, don’t leave your loved ones behind.
