One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Once time I was a social project leader in rural area of Java Island. I and my team were building a library in the village. I learned a lot about life there. Their idea of happiness were so humble and simple. I stumbled upon education paradox when I saw them. Do they really need to learn modern knowledge to achieve happiness? I found that sometimes we don't need to brag about our 'civilized lifestyle' instead sometimes we are the one who need to silent and learn about their idea of ideal live. One amazing thing I've done was to learn together with them about life and true meaning of happiness.
