“we are not the judges of the dreams of others. in order to have faith in our own path, it is not necessary to prove that another person’s path is wrong. pray and believe!”

[quote dari seorang teman yang tetap berkemeja rapi ketika semua orang mengenakan kaos belel andalan masing-masing]

“a gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger. be the one to break anger’s destructive cycle in your interactions with others today”

[quote dari seorang teman yang jago bahasa inggris dan selalu serius di depan komputer]

“berhenti merokok selagi muda, supaya nanti tuanya masih bisa ngerokok, sambil duduk di ayunan dan dengerin lagunya Wieteke van Dort…”

[quote dari seorang teman yang suka hujan-hujanan karena senang mendengar suara rintik air yang mengenai jas hujannya]

di tengah hujan, seorang teman berkata ia ingin kembali pada mantan kekasihnya, cinta mati begitu katanya.

kilat pun muncul dan guntur segera melengking bersahut-sahutan, “ga usah ngaku cinta mati, kalau abis itu punya pacar lagi…”

“kalau ga mau cepet tua, biasakan berpikir dewasa selagi muda”

'if' by rudyard kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

what do you do when  all your dreams come true?

you dream new dreams!
