PROMISE YOURSELF….

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind; 

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet; 

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them; 

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true; 

To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best; 

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own; 

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future; 

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile; 

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others;

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear; and too happy to permit the presence of trouble; 

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds;

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Kata-kata Motivasi Edisi KE2

If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.

"Jika Anda menginginkan sesuatu yang belum pernah anda miliki, Anda harus bersedia melakukan sesuatu yang belum pernah Anda lakukan."

~ Thomas Jefferson 

Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.

Ada banyak hal dalam kehidupan yang akan menarik di mata Anda, tetapi hanya sedikit yang akan menangkap hati Anda … kejarlah mereka. 

Success is a journey, not a destination. 

Jika Anda tidka berani mengambil risiko yang  kecil, maka Anda akan menghadapi risiko yang lebih besar.

Saya mulai meyakini kalau semua kegagalan dan kekecewaan saya di masa lalu sebenarnya menjadi dasar pemahaman yang telah mewujudkan taraf hidup baru yang saya nikmati sekarang ini.

I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustrations were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.

– Anthony Robbins

Saya tidak akan meceritakan tentang kekayaan saya, saya akan cuba sedaya upaya saya menceritakan tentang kejayaan saya
AZMAN HASHIM.

KURANJI: Setiap kali aku melihat seragam sekolah, hayalanku langsung melambung tinggi, mengingatkanku pada cita-cita besar yang ingin kuraih. Tapi disaat aku tersadar, aku teringat bahwa aku bukanlah siapa-siapa, aku hanyalah seorang anak nelayan yang dilahirkan dari keluarga yang miskin, ku sekolahpun aku tetap tidak akan mampu bertahan karena biaya dari tahun ke tahun semakin tinggi, belum biaya seragam, buku pakaian SPP dll.


Mengingat keadaan itu, aku hanya mampu meneteskan air mata kesedihan, bahkan sesekali berteriak "ya...Allah dimanakah engkau taruh nasib dan rizkiku....Wahai penguasa dimanakah aku menitipkan cita-citaku, apakah engkau mendengarkanku.....atau apakah engkau sengaja membuatku seperti ini. Itu suara hatiku yang tak pernah kesampaian, akhirnya aku hanya mampu menikmati hidupku sebagai seorang miskin, membantu pekerjaan orang tuaku untuk mempertahankan hidup karena banyak kebutuhan yang harus kami siapkan, seperti iuran ke masjid, bayar tunggakan aliran listrik, hutang, menyiapkan pakaian dan biaya buat adik-adikku yang sedang sekolah SD dll.

Kondisi sulit ini yang membuatku tak pernah berdaya, apalgi mengingat harga-harga semakin mahal sumber penghasilan semakin sulit, ikan semakin sulit didapat disatu sisi biaya oprasional tidak bisa tertutupi, tp aku tetap tegar dan terus bersyukur sambil tetap bersabar menunggu giliran keberuntungan.

Itulah sepenggal kisah yang dihimpun oleh rekan-rekan KIM disaat mengajak masyarakat pinggiran yang tidak mampu secara ekonomi berbincang-bincang seputar masalah keadaan mereka sehari-hari. satu hal yang sangat menarik dari mereka adalah semangat dan tekat mereka tetap membara, meraih impin dan cita-besar mereka.

the road not taken by robert frost

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;	5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,	10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.	15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.	20
