Is there anything you can do, Git?

Remember the things that people say you can't do, that you did anyway?

These words reminds me to something that happened to me long ago. These words always here, while I lived a life. The worst thing is, these words was said by my parents.

I always hear these words every single time. When I wanted to help them, they said, "No, don't do it. you can't do this things", then I just stepped back slowly. When I wanted to learn something new, they said, "Can you do this thing? It's too difficult". They always said, "Can you do this thing?", repeatedly. 

That words stuck in my head. When I wanted to learn something new, I didn't know why that words just ringing in my head. I remember, one day, my friend from junior high school said something about me, she said, "Gita always afraid to do something before she try it, when there is a test she will feeling afraid before the test begin, even though she always pass the test". But it didn't affect me at all. I always felt uncomfortable, insecure, and gave up on everything, only because those words always ringing in my head. My feeling is good when I didn't try and quit on everything. Years by years. I always did it.

Until I did something different. I decided to go to college with all subject and university I choosed. I ignored that words, even it came from my parents. This because my tutor supported me to do so. I took every test that I wanted to. And whalaa I did it, I went to university that I wanted. They were very happy for me. And those kind of words never hit me like before from them. I just feel like, I'm free. And days ago, surprisingly, they said something that shocked me a little, on whats app, she said "Maybe you are given this trouble, because you capable on it 😄". From "Can you do this thing?" to "..., you capable on it". It surprising me a lot.

But in another way, they must had some reasons for those kind of words. Maybe they worried about me, or another. As a parents, you know, they just did not know how to tell something to their children in a better way. Because they are human. Human makes mistakes. 

If you have the same trouble, just be happy for that. Don't regret it. You deserve to live your dreams. Give yourself chance to shut their mouth with your worth

Being underestimated is one of the biggest competitive advantages you can have

Note to self:

Please, just don't do the same thing to every person in your life. Or you will let them live like not as a living-organism as they wanted to be.
