I Can't Express it in Words [PRIDE]

Pride is an achievement that we get from our hard work which is based on our ideals and desires. a pride we will get from the hard work we do against the targets we have planned. Usually, we will get pride from a very heavy experience, whether it is a sweet experience (such as goals and achievement targets) as well as bitter experiences (such as insults and forms of revenge for the achievements we strive for). besides that, an achievement will definitely be very meaningful and become a pride in our lives because we have passed a challenge to reach a success. I personally, have gone through bitter and difficult times to reach an achiever to lead to a success and very proud in my life. how is my story? so, I will write about this in this edition. I hope my writing in this edition will be interesting for all readers.

I have an incredible story of accomplishment for me, which has led to my pride in what I strive for. and this story, is deeply embedded in my memory and will always be remembered until I am old. I may have touched on this story a little in my post in the previous edition, and this time I will tell it in detail to all readers.

My story began when I was still a rice farmer in my hometown. Most of the people in my hometown work as rice farmers. I have been a farmer since I was in high school because I also come from a farming family. Previously I only followed my parents who went down to the fields to plant rice. until finally, after I was smart and able to manage my own land, I was given a piece of land by my parents for me to manage myself. I did not think long at that time and immediately took the offer given by my parents.

After I started managing that patch of rice fields, that's where the problems came to me. My knowledge of rice farming at that time was minimal until I was hit by various kinds of pests and diseases on the rice plants that I planted. until in the end, I experienced crop failure on the rice that I planted. not only that, insults and bad words kept coming to me. some are just being sarcastic and some are chiding me to the point of hurting my heart. it's not that they support me because I've failed. instead, they berated me with insults and hurtful talk. so from there, I was determined to get up and repay their insults to be a valuable compliment to me.

After the crop failure incident that I experienced, I immediately looked for the main problem I was facing and studied agricultural science from engineers and experts as well as experienced citizens. Gradually, as time went on, I kept learning until I started trying again to plant rice. and in the end, my hard work from studying really paid off. I gain harvests abundantly and unreasonably. even the results I get exceed the capacity of the land I have. People who used to berate and bully me because I failed are now starting to praise me for the achievements that I got so that some of them wanted to learn directly from me how I could succeed in turning my failure into a meaningful success. My anger towards them is still there because I was already hurt. but I don't want to reply to them because I remember a message from my teacher (The hardest thing in life is, when we have the opportunity to reply, but we don't reply and we are sincere about the situation. Then you will get a very big favor from Allah) then After remembering this, I immediately gave up my intention to repay them for what they did to me and I still sincerely taught them even though they used to insult me ​​when I failed.

So after what I went through, starting with insults, insults and even bullying, until I was able to prove to them that I could rise up and change to a better path, from there arose a pride in me that I can and I am able to become better.

therefore, an achievement to become proud does not come instantly. but there must be a sad and bitter experience. so therefore, make a life experience a lesson for us so that success will come by itself.
