I think one of my favorite historical events that I’been very fascinating and interesting was when Indonesia gained the victory over Holland. For almost, I think, 50 years Holand colonized Indonesia. And finally in the 7th August 1945, Indonesia proclaim in state the independent. That’s the happiest moment, I believe not only for Indonesia but also for some people in the world because Indonesias finally can claim the independency, the independent day that they claim Indonesia are finally such an independent country. What is an interesting about the story? Uh, it reminds me especially myself how that we need to keep going in life. That we need to be more competitive and knowledgeable about certain things, that we can train our skills so that we don’t get colonized by other people, that we can still be competitive with other people. We, wherever we are going, orver we are. That’s really the thing that really, what was that? Uh, inspire us to do even better in life.

I think one of my favorite historical events that I find very fascinating and interesting was when Indonesia gained victory over Holland. For almost, I think, 50 years, Holland colonized Indonesia. Finally, on the 17th of August 1945, Indonesia proclaimed its independence. That's the happiest moment, I believe, not only for Indonesia but also for many people in the world because Indonesians finally claimed their independence, the Independence Day that they declared, and Indonesia became an independent country. What is interesting about the story? It reminds me, especially of how we need to keep going in life. We need to be more competitive and knowledgeable about certain things, so we can train our skills and avoid being colonized by others, allowing us to remain competitive. Wherever we are going, or wherever we are, that's really the thing that inspires us to do even better in life.
