Bersyukurlah untuk masa-masa sulit. Di masa itulah kamu tumbuh.
Bersyukurlah untuk setiap tantangan baru. Karena itu akan membangun kekuatan dan karaktermu.
Bersyukurlah untuk kesalahan yang kamu buat. Itu akan mengajarkan pelajaran yang berharga.
Bersyukurlah bila kamu lelah dan letih. Karena itu kamu telah membuat suatu perbedaan.

Quotable Quotes pt. 1

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go.
~Dr. Seuss

to front only the essential facts of life
and see if I could not learn what it had to teach
and not, when I came to die
discover that I had not lived
~Tennyson, Walden

but in the end it's fear

~Paulo Coelho

We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are we are, --
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield
~Tennyson, Ulysses

We we dreamers, dreaming greatly, in the man-stifled town;
We yearned beyond the sky-line where the strange roads go down.
Came the Whisper, came the Vision, came the Power with the Need,
Till the Soul that is not man's soul was lent us to lead.
~R. Kipling, The Song Of The Dead
