Dirgahayu 72



“I think we’ve been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it’s the government’s job to cope with it. ‘I have a problem, I’ll get a grant.’ ‘I’m homeless, the government must house me.’ They’re casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It’s our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There’s no such thing as an entitlement unless someone has first met an obligation.” – Margaret Thatcher.







Side note:
On the independence day of Indonesia in 2018,
I'm writing the abstract of my thesis, editing the power point for the final presentation and revising the whole thesis
I believe it is not slavery by science,
but the freedom to shape your own future and be responsible for your own goal and choices you made in the past
