Lessons from the Boy Selling Newspapers

That morning as usual I left the morning after the dawn of the home, into storage motorcycle in Cawang, UKI, though often delayed, this time I came early to the place waiting for a bus shuttle that took me into the office, I liked the ride a bus pick up for tired driving from Depok-Cikarang. Intolerant of congestion of the capital.

As usual I sat with fellow colleagues while waiting for pickup. But because I arrived early, came a boy who as usual offers newspapers to all shelter residents.

"Newspaper, newspaper, Kompas, Media, tempo, Republika, news of the city" so cried the boy offered to our newspaper. "Newspapers sir" he offered me to buy a newspaper. "As usual compass one" I asked the usual newspaper I read every morning.

Little hands deftly choosing among a pile I ask Newspapers Newspapers wares.

"This newspaper bang compass" gives newspapers that I asked him, "This is the change?" I said, thrusting money IR
D50,000, to him. "OK sir, there must be" immediately removed the change from a dirty bag, "well early in the morning had a lot of money yes" I said to the boy.

"Allhamdulilah bang, my fortune again smoothly" he said with a pleased smile. And after that he too passed offers newspapers to the residents of other shelters.

Today at 5:20, still too long to come pick me, then I took a compass reading newspaper
which I had bought at the newspaper boy craftsman.

Without realizing it I noticed how persistent a newspaper boy handyman is looking for money, by offering merchandise to everyone who came and went after another.

At first glance seem a brave face sweat in the early years had to struggle to earn money by lawful and as a hard worker.

"Newspapers, there are tabloid nova mom, there is news of this celebrity mom, or is this tabloid star, no word artist divorced" she said like a brilliant marketing without giving up her newspaper to offer a middle-aged woman who eventually gave up and bought a tabloid called the boy.

As he noticed a sense of wonder and compassion to the boy, and noticed how persistent he is trying, just look cheery smile that made everyone who offered not angry. There is no slightest sense of despair inside him, although sometimes people who are not offered to buy his newspaper.


A moment may be tired boy offers his newspaper, and she sat beside me, "you are not in school bro," I asked him "no sir, I do not want high school" he said.

"There is no cost bro?" I asked probing, "No sir, though I have my craftsmen Newspapers ideals" he replied, "that is, not with the school you can achieve your goals more easily" I answered.

"I often read the newspaper bang, many people who have high school graduates do not work even bang, aka unemployed. Mending my high school even though I have an income bang "he tried to explain to me. "My brother bang, no school can open the newspaper agent income can be 3-4 billion a month, bang, I read in the daily salary of 700 thousand employees honorary only, so why should I bang school," he asked me I frowned, signed with the answers I might expect to see the little boy is a keen mind, and a crackling that in for me that a scholar. In my heart I justify saying these children, pay city Bekasi job just + /-900rb for high school classes.


I also smiled at the child's answer, then pick up my bus arrived and I left the boy can answer the question without, what our purpose of school, become scholars.?

Because so many scholars are now working out unemployed, had no income, and many also because it can not work that went on S2 with a justifiable reason to spend leisure time and increase the value of selling himself.

But the boy's statement made me realize The newspaper seller, on luck, and goals of the school, which currently I might lose with such a small boy, although I have an income and have an office I pay only human, I am just a worker.

Unlike the little boy, in the early years he was able to become an employer for himself. What a great idea innocent kid The newspaper seller.  Interesting lesson from a boy who every day meet. (EA)
