A Friend Could Teach You More Than Your Teachers Did

Let me tell you a story about a friend. A great friend actually.

He's just a simple man, not too tall, doesn't have a great body or even six packs but 1 thing that he has.. A BIG HEART.

This man is just a simple guy with his loaded brilliant brain.
I'm grateful to have an honorable privilege to call him "my friend".

If you see his appearance, you might think that he's just an ordinary guy. But when you get to know him deeper, you'll find many figures in his personality. He can be my friend, he can be a wise brother, he can be an evil sometimes BUT he definitely is a teacher for me.

I remember the day that I sat down in front of him, talking about shits that I faced at that time. He was really calm, listened to every words I said wisely and advising me with some wise thoughts.

He's the kind of man who never shows you that he's upset or stressed out by some shits. He sometimes said that "he's fucked up", but 1 thing that I admire, his face never shows it.
He keeps treat his work mate politely, he keeps telling some jokes even though sometimes it's "nyinyir", he simply keeps being him.

Every time I see this man, a great friend of mine, something within myself believes that soon this man will be a successful man. I can see that less than 6 years, he would be running his own company, being a great boss and being a great father.

I have no doubt about that. He knows what he wants. He knows what he needs to do to achieve what he wants. And the most important thing, he knows how to treat people and motivate people. I know that because apparently, he became one of the best teacher that I ever had.

I learned how to pursuit my passion as he always does. I learned how to cope with uncomfortable things in life.
I learned how to keep thinking positive in any situations.
I learned how to keep my positive attitude, cause this is what me and him always discuss and agreed (positive attitude is the most important thing in social life).

I see that many people love him and admire him, not for his looks, not for his money or car, but simply for the way he is.
He is the man that you'll be so proud to say "hey, that guy is my friend".

This man has taught me many things. He taught me things that even no teachers at school had taught me before.
A simple man who can be a teacher for many people. A simple man who has been a teacher figure for his friends.

Hey, buddy! I never say it before. But if you ever heard about Great Teacher Onizuka, that is exactly who you are in my eyes.
I know you'll be a successful man!
Thank you for everything, thank you for all the inspirations.
Thank you for all that "sharing without judging" moments.
Thank you for being a great motivator
Thank you for being you

As you always say "I'll see you soon, buddy"
