I am rock, I am diamond

For the past days I busied myself doing my felt craft and while doing that I am watching korean series again and again. I know some of you are getting tired that most of my content is related to my addiction which is watching kdramas. Ottoke! I can't help it as my mind, body and soul is so into it. Just recently I had finished rewatching Itaewon Class. It is a series in early 2020 and I remember I watched this series while it is ongoing. And for me this is one of the best series because the female protagonist is quite different from other female leads in tv series. The story didn't focus much on romance but on the character development of each and everyone. So while rewatching it for two days, I got to list three important lessons in life from the story.

The bigger you dream, the bigger you'll grow

Basically the plot of this story has something to do with business. It is the usual getting your revenge from the people who did something bad to you in the past. In the story this line was mentioned by the female lead.

This is actually one of the most used motivation if you want to be successful in life, most specially if you are trying your luck in putting up a business. Getting a business of your own is a risk. You got to have a lot of confidence in order to start it. You needed to have a back up plan if in case your initial plan didn't work. It will take a lot of efforts, determination and perseverance in order to put up one. But then lastly your vision will matters in the end. Dream bigger and you'll grow bigger. I worked in one of the famous mall in the country and before I was deployed, we attended a lot of orientations and seminars. In one of the seminars I attended to, they've discussed the history of the company and of course it was really impressive that they have started from nothing until they become on top. From having one mall in a small city, now they expanded to a lot of cities within the country.

I am rock, I am diamond

At the middle of the series, one of the characters faced trouble with regards with her identity. She played the role of a transgender, and as we know there were some people that cannot fully understand and welcome them in our community. So then some transgenders received bad and harsh comments from these people. The character from the series received the same feedback that she almost gave up, but then because of the support she received from her colleagues, she decided to continue and win her fight. This is the excerpt from the poem entitled "I am Diamond"

I'm a rock.
Go ahead and sear me.
I won't budge an inch because I'm a rock.
Go ahead and beat me up.
I'm a solid rock.
Go ahead and leave me in the darkness.
I'm a rock that will shine all alone.
I don't break, ash, nor decay as I go against nature's way.
I survive.
I'm the diamond."

If you are having a tough times, go read this poem. If you are tired of the people who always makes fun of you, this poem is definitely for you. You are rock, in the end you'll survive and shine like a diamond.

You can overcome everything as long as you live

Our life is like a wheel, sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down. We will definitely goes through different hardships and challenges but never ever surrender for as long as you are alive you can overcome everything.

In the story the main lead actor went through a lot of pain, hardships and even went to jail at his young age. It didn't stopped him to be successful despite going through another series of trouble before he can finally fulfilled his dream. In this lifetime, we might never experienced the same faith the main actor went through but remember that no matter how big or small your problem is, you can surely overcome it. I remember someone told me that, God intentionally give us problems because He knows, we'll get through it. He believes in our capability to endure the pain and eventually get over it.

Thanks for taking your time to read. In the meantime I am watching another series. I'll catch up with you as long as I can. Kamsahamnida!
