Folk Guitar
Friday, October 19, 2012
It's Friday morning now, and it's raining. The rains drop rhythmically onto the roof. Fresh and cool.
Yesterday, my mum bought me a folk guitar as I yearned for it for quite awhile. I'm enthusiastic and excited. Nevertheless, I have no idea about strumming or anything. Frankly speaking, I'm an idiot of music instruments. But for when it come to studies, I'm a
pro :b I have a good memory, to memorize the words, the pages and so on. In the examination, it provided you the questions, all you have to do is to answer and score. But music is not Q&A. It have no question, neither the answer. It'll be a tough thing for me, to learn something new, but I'll put my best feet forward and try to reach for the stars. I believe nothing is impossible. Here's a story I'm willing to share.
On Wednesday, there's a disabled man, which lost his right hand since he was born, came to our school, to give us a motivation speech. He has only his right arm and two little fingers on it. People will call him O.K.U a.k.a Orang Kurang Upaya, but for him, he called himself Orang Kuat Usaha. The handicapped works harder than a normal person to achieve something. He was once shy and depressed, he scared of the daylights to let people see his condition. The kids will laugh on him, "Man without hand !!!" It's something that hurts, for a teen like him at that moment. But then one book written by Neopolitan inspired him to face himself. It's the sentence : Accept yourself in order to be accepted by everyone. He accepted the condition of the absence of right hand since childhood. He faced the crowd. He changed a little by a little. And he was standing and giving a motivation speech for all Form 3 students. He is confident and brave, it's commendable ! He also plays guitar well. A disabled man could play guitar well, why couldn't I ?
Perhaps it takes time for me to overpower the chords. But I'll try.
I'll write more soon :)
