There Is Something More Important than "Cigarette" ...

( Bus driver, isn't always talking about their styles and their cigarettes... I found another value yesterday. read it out :D )

On my way home that afternoon, I sat on the very first row in the bus, behind the bus driver.
I saw the bus driver was so tired driving the bus from Jakarta to Tangerang over and over again, otherwise, he does it everyday as his job. (I really appreciate it).

It was near Grogol, Jakarta. He stopped the bus because of the traffic light turned to red.
I found that he was waiting for the light to turn to green light again, and he just stared at an English-Indonesian dictionary which he’s just bought. 
He tried to read what is written on its cover, slowly but seriously...

I don't know, but I found that it's too hard for him to read all the sentences. Eventhough it all is written in Bahasa..
and I just thought that he didn't buy it for himself. I thought he would give that dictionary for his child, of course, to be learned by his child...

and you know, it was so touching for me...

A bus driver... still has consciousness about something important in life...
It's neither about money, nor about cigarettes..
more important, it's about EDUCATION.

And for his child, you know, how lucky you are...
Although your father is just a bus driver, but he tries to "drive" your life to reach a better future...
with all his hopes and efforts...

Be grateful, kid(s)...
