There was once when a friend, M told me that he has a dream. A dream of earning big bucks and living a life which every person in the whole world would be dreaming about. I saluted him for a fabulous dream and vision he is owning but is he taking the steps of realizing his dreams? What makes things worse are the attitude of him bragging all the way that he's already earning thousands of US DOLLARS and his late father has left him some valuable assets? In front of us who're close to him and know every single bits of his life? Awfully horrifying statement. To be frank, I admire his will to go big but isn't it a bit of an unnecassary action to brag imaginary things, just to catch some females' attention? Another friend of mine, P said he's a loser, who likes to brag. Is he really a loser? My opinion: No, he isn't a loser. A little sympathetic to this dear friend of mine and the real story is...
M's father passed away when he's still studying in high school. As being the eldest among
the three siblings, he has to be the breadwinner of his family. From the
current conditionof his family, he vowed to continue to provide a comfortable living
for them, taking over his father's legacy. That's why he has big dreams.
His intention is clear, sincere and kind. He wants to support his two younger
brothers in their studies. Assuming that he won't excel in studies anyway, therefore,
he chose not to further his tertiary studies after high school and save the money for
his brothers' acedemic fees instead. However, it made him developed a habit,
bragging the false and untrue.
It is understood that the real reason for him doing that is because he doesn't want
anybody to see the hell that he's now going through. He wants to be known as a normal
and capable person, just like everybody else. I pity him for that but talking about the false
without knowing the limit can do damage to himself one day. Instead of building confidence
to himself, he'll lose it terribly when everyone finds out that he can't be trusted and no one
would listen to him. The trust will be gone. He'll be known as someone who can't be frank
to himself and everybody else.

I've known M for almost 8 years. I've never given up hope on him. As being a friend who's the closest to him after his brothers, I really, really admire his will to go beyond everybody's doubts. What I'm afraid of is, before he can really make it (I know he will), everybody has already turn their backs on him. Then, he'll experience the most terrible moment of his life and eventually, harmful to his self-esteem and confidence.
Till then, hope he'll really understand why do I keep on reminding him to keep his feet solely on the ground. God bless.
