Now, I'm gonna make a book review :D I have never been bored while reading this book because this book is really interesting and always succeed to burn my spirit.
"Diamond in The Rough" is the title of this book and it's written by Nathania Christy, Indonesian scholar in Singapore. This book tells the readers about the author's life as a scholar in Singapore and the purpose why she writes this book is because of her desire to inspire young Indonesians.
This book has 5 parts and also has a lot of inspiring quotes and some tips how she can be like now inside. The story is half funny and touching.
The author writes, "Jangan bersinar supaya orang lain bisa melihatmu. Bersinarlah supaya melalui kamu, orang lain bisa melihat."(Don't shine so that others can see you. Shine so that because of you, others can see.). She sees her life as a diamond in the rough and I also realize that my life is the same as a diamond in the rough. My life has sharp edges and unrefined. But each time, it will be polished to shine proudly, right?
When I'm still reading the beginning of the story, my heart is really touched by her story. I almost, even, shed tears. I know this is excessive, but this is my perspective. So, you can't judge me :p HAHA
In my opinion, this book is really understanding my problems. Why? Because when I'm down and I read this book, it's always succed to cheer me up and encourage me. For instance, I think,"Am I ready to fall down when I can dreaming this high?". I remember in this book it's written that we should have a lot of dreams. So, when one dream fails, we still have another dreams that we can achieve.
This book really has a big effect for my life. After I read this book, I always try to do my best to pursue my dreams and make them alive and other things that affect my life :)
If you want your life to be inspired and shine proudly like diamond, you can buy this book at Gramedia in part "Psikologi Remaja." The price is IDR 58K. This book is really valuable !
I always hope when I go to Singapore, I will meet her, ask her to sign the book and take a selfie together. I also make her as my role model because she is really awful, AWesome and beautiFUL !!!!
The last, I wanna say big thanks to the author, ci Nia for making this book. Your writing is really inspiring me! I hope I can be like you :D Because the background why I bought this book is your experiences, how you pursue your dreams, etc. And all of the things you write are really helpful for my future :D
