Sang Pemimpi by Andrea Hirata

4.0

A hopeful and inspiring book, really wish I'd read this earlier.

This book will teach you to dream and work your butt of until you're living those dreams, no matter how out of reach they may seem, or however bleak the situation is.

"Biar kau tahu, Ikal, orang seperti kita tak punya apa-apa kecuali semangat dan mimpi-mimpi, dan kita akan bertempur habis-habisan demi mimpi-mimpi itu!"

My attempt at translating that, for any non-Indonesian speaker out there:

"Just so you know, Ikal, people like us don't have anything other than our passion and dreams, and we shall fight until the end for those dreams!"
