"Narrative", that's the word we find in everyday's life. We express our heart with narrative style, we tell people about our experience with narrative approach, we communicate with narrative. Its like something when we make a movie. We change our mind to be a storyteller for make people understand, what's our though. There's something unique from this habit, make me remember a sentence... "Happily Ever After".

Many people describe happy as "utopia", but another people believe with this as positive's taste. In storytelling, when "Main Character" grab his/her goal, that's mean "awesome". Like we watch Cinderella's movie when the Prince declare about his commitment to that Girl. Every supported characters from that film are happy, include us as an audience (except the antagonist). Happily ever after like standard for "Three Chapter's Story" in screenwriting. Its basic.

I heard about utopia approach maybe at 1996-1997, make me remember about someone who describe this (specially for me). I know, this word sometime make us confuse, but in different point of view, we can find positive’s taste from this word. I mean, its about "hope". We need hope for making a better life into the future.

In this Davos 2017, I feel different as a "@wef Reader" in World Economic Forum. Because the keywords are "Addressing Identities through Positive Narratives". I agree, if we discuss about future things, we must communicate with positive point of view. I know if this is hard to act, but we still need this. Even we are bad person, deep in our heart, we want our kids have a better life. That’s why, we need positive narratives for create the future.

Sometime, everything is impossible. If we learn us now, or not confident with our background from unknown place, or anything else. Remember this, "We all are the same Human". We still need food, need home, need hope, need to loved, etc. Its something useful for "kick out" that taste from ours (I mean, kick out negative’s taste).

I remember about one basic theory in elementary school (before). Positive number depend on...

From this simple basic term, we know about "the same" in perception. For positive future I guess, this is useful. I mean, Future can be create with same perception (first).
