This morning, maybe you are just an ordinary person whose value is zero because you have not been able to Fulfill other people's expectations of you. But never force yourself to live up to their expectations at the expense of your feelings. Do everything as you would do it to God, not man. Because God never disappoints you, unlike humans who always demand more from you.
Tomorrow afternoon, maybe you are the one who has succeeded in achieving all your dreams and ambitions. Why tomorrow? Why not today as well? The question that pops into our head, will indeed make us greedy for time. For everything, God has a predetermined time. When you are ready to receive blessings and gifts, that's when God adds everything you need. Not a desire that just makes you feel even more greedy.
When success hits, we forget how to be grateful. The first thing we want to do is reply to the words of those who have despised our existence in the social order. However, the first thing we must remember is not to use today's success as a tool to avenge yesterday. It will only make our personality no different from them. Because only a fool can not forgive and forget the wrong against him.

"Come here. Hold Uncle Edward's hand too, okay?" Edward grabbed Ark's hand.
They walked into a room with a wall of an aquarium filled with various types of fish. And several display aquariums with various sizes.
"Uncle Ed, this is the shark palace, isn't it, uncle?" Jeno asked innocently when she saw the layout of the shark aquarium, which was decorated with buildings like pillars of the white building.
"Yeah, I think this one's the king of sharks." Edward answered, pointing to a shark which was the largest in size than the others.
"Because that's the biggest one, uncle Ed?" Ryan came up with his question beside Edward.
"Yes, that's true. Because the biggest will lead the rest." Edward rubbed his head.
"So here, Uncle Ed the King, huh?" asked Jeno innocently.
"Huh how come?" Edward turned to Jeno with furrowed brows.
"Uncle Ed is bigger than our dads. That means Uncle Ed is the King." Jeno answered Lai innocently.
Edward laughed at the answer of Jeno who appointed himself King because he was bigger than his father and uncle.
"Then which is the queen, uncle?" Ryan tugged at the hem of Edward's shirt.
"Hm.. it seems like this one. Which isn't too big but not too small either." Edward pointed to the fish that was standing still at the end of the aquarium.
"Just like Aunt Jayna. Because our mother is smaller than Aunt Jayna." Jeno innocently answered.
Edward, who had been crouching, immediately stood up straight and laughed at the answer from Jayna's two nephews.
"Yes. It means Uncle Ed is the King and Aunt Jayna is the Queen." Ryan added.
"Right. We're shark kids." Jeno pointed to two small sharks that were swimming in front of his face.
"What's this, it's so exciting." Jayna appeared behind them and saw Edward laughing.
"Oh nothing. Your nieces are cute and smart, Jay." Edward covered his mouth with his palm while praising Jeno and Ryan.
"Oh, of course. Who do you think the aunt of these cute and smart children is." Jayna boasted indirectly to Edward.
"Mh, I dunno." Edward shrugged his shoulders, teasing Jayna.
"Damn!" Jayna hit Edward's arm.
"Aunt Jayna, this is a Queen shark just like Aunt Jayna." Show Ark.
"This one, the king shark, is like Uncle Edward." Ryan pointed to one of the sharks which was large.
"Which one is Ryan and Jeno?" Jayna crouched between her two nieces.
"This, child shark. It's a mother shark. Then this is daddy's shark." Ryan pointed at three pairs of sharks in quick succession at Jayna.
By looking at the size of each shark that Ryan pointed at, Jayna understood the meaning of her two nieces.
Someone tapped Jayna's shoulder from behind. A girl with white skin, a petite body in a branded suit and a branded bag, stood in front of Jayna. A figure that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
"Jayna, right?" said someone.
"This is Edward, right?" added the person.
"Oh hi. What's up?" Jayna replied.
"You still know me, right?" She asked.
"Yes, I know. We were classmates in high school, right?" Edward replied.
"Daphne, right?" Add Jayna.
"Yes, you still remember it turns out" She smiled.
"This is your son? You're finally getting married, right?" Daphne smiled with a disdainful aura.
"No, it's Jayna's nephew." Edward replied.
"You go to your father and mother first, okay? Uncle and Aunt Jayna will go there after this." Edward directed Jeno and Ryan to visit their parents who were sitting and resting.
"Ready uncle shark King." The two replied in unison and ran towards their parents.
"Oh so you don't have kids yet. I hope you have a baby soon, OK?" Daphne was still pushing her assumptions on Jayna and Edward.
"We're also not a married couple as you assume." Cut Jayna.
"Oops, sorry. I thought so." Daphne covered her mouth.
"You see, you guys just looked like a happy little family. And you guys have been close since high school. Everyone has also predicted your future, you guys will definitely get married." Daphne one-sidedly judged Jayna and Edward.
"Edward already has a girlfriend. And his girlfriend is my college friend." Jayna answered flatly.
"Oh. Not dating either. Does that mean it's still like high school before? Just a friend." Daphne's response made Edward clench his fists.
Just as Edward was about to bump into Daphne, a crowd of people came behind Daphne.
"Daph!" One of them reprimanded Daphne.
"Hey, have you all gathered?" Daphne asked.
"Oh yeah, you guys remember right? This is Jayna and Edward, one of our high school classmates." Daphne added.
"Really? This is Jayna the geeky and Edward the frog prince?" One of the well-built men answered Daphne.
"Hey, chill bro. It's an old tale." Daphne seemed to be defending Jayna and Edward.
"You're still the same, Drey. Still being Daphne's errand boy?" Edward folded his arms across his chest.
The person he called Drey wanted to come forward with his fist raised. But one of them held him back.
"Oh everyone is here?" A man came later to say hello to Daphne's group.
"Oh yeah, Harry, have you finished the call?" Daphne answered.
"I have. Where do you want to go next?" Answered a person whose form was still covered by Drey's body.
"Mr. Harry?" Edward greeted hesitantly when he heard a familiar voice in his ear.
"Oh, Mr. Edward and Ms. Jayna are also here? Just the two of you?" Harry was shocked to see Edward and Jayna is there.
"Yes, Mr. But with the rest of Jayna's family." Edward replied. Jayna just smiled at Harry. She was in a very bad mood coupled with his unexpected encounter with Daphne. It was even worse than his recent nightmare.
"Do you know them Harry?" Daphne was shocked.
