I like to read people's success story. It motivates me a lot. I enjoy reading books about success story. Whether it's from actors, entrepreneurs, writers, and the other jobs. And one of my favorite is Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. He started his business from garage in his house, at very young age. And now, he is very successful. Who doesn't know Amazon.com? And I ♥ to see how people from nothing become something. I respect that people. Most of success people have one thing in common, they never give up. Sometimes they fail, but they don't give up. That's what I like about them. Jeff Bezos is smart. I read his story and actually he's not really a serious person. He seems like a person with a lot of fun. But, one thing I learn from Jeff Bezos is, the moment he started build Amazon.com, he prepared everything brilliantly. I think preparation and planning are the most important part of building a business. If you don't prepare it well, you'll mess everything up. It's like a foundation, need to be strong.

I'm starting to try my own business since a year ago. I know it's weird, in Indonesia, teenagers usually don't work at all. Unlike in western style, most of teenagers there work part time job, to buy their own car, skateboard, and stuff. Starting to work at school age is quite amazing. Sometimes I have to choose between school or work. And of course I choose working. That's a lot better than school. Yeah, I hate school.

My business is still small, it's in the growing up process I guess. I started selling stuff online in 2009 and now I'm going to make it bigger, considering I have full holiday in the next 2 months. Why I do this? I don't have to work if I want. I can stop anytime. But, working is fun. In fact, I enjoy working a lot. The best part isn't when I get the money, but when I feel success to sell stuff. That makes me feel satisfied. Besides, I can't count of my parents everytime. Sometimes I need to make my own money. I don't like asking them money. When I have my own money, I can use it for anything I want. So, it's better to have my own money. I mean, even the dumb Jackson in Hannah Montana does part time job to buy his own car, then why I just sit around and do nothing? I can do it too I guess.
