Again, the story that I still remember well. A story that inspires me (may also inspire a lot number of people who have read it), a great inspiration about finding of self-esteem and self-confidence. A story that makes me believe that no matter what weaknesses on you, but there lies a magic spark (song: The Power of The Dream by Celine Dion).
The story tells about a man who lived in a small ville. He had a bad appearance physically. We could see something horrible about his face. Yep, his face and several parts of his body were extremely damaged that affected to the rest of his life. His face was so monstrous that I wouldn't explain about that for more. We might walk away, run, or scream when he passed us by in the street. But unlike us (if we were in that story), people living in that small ville liked him so much. Youngster, men, women, the oldies, they appreciated and respected him just like they respected each other. They didn't discriminate him as 'The Ugly Man' or 'Hell Boy'. That man lived his life like people used to live: work, eat, meet people in the street then say 'hi'. He lived an ordinary life, like the others did. He didn't marry for a secret reason they didn't know what. Children weren't afraid to play or meet him. Other men in the village talked with him and had coffee time in the evening. We might ask, "Why did they do that?" or "What did that man do so people weren't afraid of him?".
When that man was a young teenager, there was a firehouse and a baby within. The mother escaped first but she left the baby inside. No one dared to get in to the house and take the baby out of the fire, even the strong men just tried to extinguish the fire from the outside. That man with his bravery got in to the house and looked for the baby. He found the baby and quickly took the baby out of the fire. The situation got worse and the fire kept burning up. He ran through the fire and successfully brought the baby to his mother. The baby was safe, but that man was almost burnt to death. He was brought to the hospital and got examined there for a serious skin-damaged. And that was why he had his skin damaged almost all over his body.
He was well-known for his patriotic action that would be remembered for a long life-time. People would remember him as a man who sacrificed himself to save a baby out of the fire. He had a good life with respectful people around him. He might feel sad of his appearance, but he wouldn't regret it. He was proud of what he had done and that was enough for him. He didn't want to change his face anymore, that was enough.
A new lesson again taken from a story above. We might have got the wisdom before. Sometimes, you don't need to be as beautiful as your favorite actress or as handsome as your favorite actor to be famous or well-known by people. Handsome, beautiful, rich, muscular, sexy, or anything, and sometimes they're nothing. You don't need to build your body so then people will know you as Mister Muscle, or you don't need to have a super diet that will only hurt yourself at the end in making people know you as Miss Slender. Physical weakness won't be an obstacle if you believe. I do believe, deep inside people's heart there's always a feeling or passion of being famous somehow. No matter how quiet person you are or how introvert you are, sometimes you want them to know you (or at least become a famous person). And sometimes your weakness crashes your dream. But, watch TV shows nowadays and you're gonna find people who make their weaknesses as their advantages. Who says, people with physical weakness are slums? Ucok Baba is a famous presenter and actor who has physical disorder which makes him look child-alike (we can call it 'dwarfish'). He doesn't mention his 'dwarfishness', and what he mentions is to entertain people and become more confident day by day. Big is beautiful and it does matter for Miss Impian contestants. 'Fatty' isn't something for them and they're well known for their 'fatty-ness'. Most girls are worried about their weight, but they don't. They enjoy being fatty and just like, "Here we are with our fatty-ness. And no matter what they say, so what?". Remember Hee Ah-Lee, a four fingered Korean pianist who has 'Lobster Claw Syndrome'? For common thoughts, what can a four-fingered girl with knee-leg do for more than staying in her bedroom and enjoying a whole life there? All the thoughts are fading when you watch her concert. Honestly, playing classical repertoire for me isn't as easy as people can think or assume. Even the seniors practice hard to play expert pieces. So how about her? You may think that she won't do that but she plays Fantaisie Improptu with her four fingers! Note that: four fingers only! And what audience should do next is just standin tall, giving her a super great applause and shout it, "Outstanding!". God is fair, He never fails.
