Hi there, I have idea to discuss about it. My friend who love to do so many thing for society, told me about how she enjoy her life now. She is sixty five years old. She right to called foster mother for me than friend. I keep on my mind what she told. She told when She work in a institution before, she did not enjoy because many things that not proper with her heart. She really care about others especially poor people who could not have chance to school because money. So, she like to facilitating people who would like to learn. Now, because of her effort and enthusiasm of education for poor people, some of people who care and support from the goverment, people and community in her living place has build a school and presenting education for kids and community. She spent of her time to serve at the school and she really enjoy. She told that she feel satisfied and this is really enjoy her life now. What do you think guys, do you agree that dedication for society can be one of how to enjoy the life? thanks for response.

Yes, I agree with the attitude of your friends who dedicated his life for the people, especially people who can not afford in any case. In my opinion, our lives would be useful if we be useful to others. I am an energy therapist. With my expertise, I traveled from city to city, village to village, to treat people who can not afford economically. I'm not supported by the sponsor or the government, so I need to provide training or consulting or other employment, to earn money for my travel expenses.

Yes adhyz. as young people, we should be have mindset like that. we no need to wait untill we get old. but usually, why old people often to do that because they have many time and their children has live in other place, not with them anymore.

hello, you are absolutely right. Dedication to the society for its betterment is one way to serve the nation. Everyone should think about the society and always put up some efforts for its betterment. People in our society need us. We should always be there for them. We should always help them. This is a good deed. And also we should encourage others to do it. It's our fundamental futy to think for the society. Its good to have a healthy society for our family.

Hi friend, good to hear about your friend's activity. Really she is a person to be admire. Some people are not interested in doing social service and taking rest in their old age, but your friend is really different and doing social work even in her 65 years. Hats up to her. Education is a great thing which have the ability to make a great thing in our society, as your friend is doing her service in school, surely she is doing the right thing

thanks for your appriciate vidyaprakash. I will tell her about some response here. I would like to share her spirit to all people. She told often that she feel not yet do anything because others can do bigger thing than what she did. It show how humble she is. And I know there s a program here in Indonesia. It called "Indonesia Teaching", an institution has choose a number of young people who want to be tacher and sent them to small village inland. I have read their story and I really proud of those younge people.
