□ Give Up
□ Give In
□ Give It All You Got
The choice is yours.

Happiness and Butterfly
“Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you; but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.”
Henry Thoreau
Kutipan Biola Tak Berdawai
Terinspirasi dari buku Biola Tak Berdawai yang ditulis oleh Seno Gumira Ajidarma, berikut ini rangkuman kutipan hasil karya beliau. Semoga mencerahkan.
“Adalah jiwa yang menggerakkan tubuh kita, namun adalah hati yang membuat kita memiliki rasa di luar keindraan kita, karena tanpa hati kita bukanlah manusia sedangkan hati adalah semesta nada-nada”
~~~¤~~~
“Dalam semesta jiwa, nada-nada bagaikan kupu-kupu yang beterbangan mencari bunga-bunga cinta – mereka tidak akan hinggap di hati yang membatu, mereka tidak akan hinggap pada jiwa yang membeku, karena bunga-bunga cinta berkembang dan semerbak, mendenyarkan cahaya cinta yang semburat di alam semesta, namun hanya kupu-kupu yang mencari bunga cinta seperti mencari madu kemurnian dunia akan melihat dan mendengarnya”
~~~¤~~~
“Hati memang teka-teki abadi. Terkadang kuat, terkadang lemah”
~~~¤~~~
“Setiap orang hidup dengan masa lalunya, karena masa lalu tidak akan pernah betul-betul berlalu. Setiap kali seseorang berniat melupakan sesuatu dari masa lalu itu sebetulnya ia telah mengguratkannya dalam hati”
~~~¤~~~
Biola Tak Berdawai
Tanpa dawai, bagaimanakah biola bisa bersuara? Biola bagaikan tubuh, dan suara itulah jiwanya – tetapi di sebelah manakah dawai dalam tubuh manusia yang membuatnya bicara? Jiwa hanya bisa disuarakan lewat tubuh manusia, tetapi ketika tubuh manusia itu tidak mampu menjadi perantara yang mampu menjelmakan jiwa, tubuh itu bagaikan biola tak berdawai…
Take The Chance
“When we see an opportunity in life, we have to take it. Whether it’s the hope of winning back the love of our life, a shot at proving our worth, or the chance to show a child the right path, but sometimes when we answer the call we have no idea what opportunity awaits us.”
-Desperate Housewives-
In Competition With No One
“I am in competition with no one. I have no desire to play the game of being better than anyone. I am simply trying to be better than the person I was yesterday.”
