Circle Of Life

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

--from the original soundtrack of LION KING

Write what you like there's no other rule.

A good quote from O Henry.

something I found in the net

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken, probably more than once and it hurts more every time. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it feels. You’ll blame a new love for what old one’s did. You’ll cry because time is passing by too fast. You’ll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh way too much and love like you have never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is one minute of happiness that you will never get back...

And once you lose yourself, you have two choices. Find the person you used to be or lose that person completely. ‘Cause sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been and remember the person you were meant to be.
The person you wanted to be.
The person you are.

People change, even the person you thought you knew the most, changes. And even though it hurts to see them go; you have to move on, for the memories are all you have, and things might never be the same.

Another Good Quote

Vanity is excessive self-regard and overblown pride.
lu·rid (lrd) adj.:Causing shock or horror; gruesome.

Reason and Passion

And the priestess spoke again and said: "Speak to us of Reason and Passion."

And he answered saying:

Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against passion and your appetite.

Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.

But how shall I, unless you yourselves be also the peacemakers, nay, the lovers of all your elements?

Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.

If either your sails or our rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.

For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.

Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion; that it may sing;

And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.

I would have you consider your judgment and your appetite even as you would two loved guests in your house.

Surely you would not honour one guest above the other; for he who is more mindful of one loses the love and the faith of both.

Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows - then let your heart say in silence, "God rests in reason."

And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the sky, - then let your heart say in awe, "God moves in passion."

And since you are a breath In God's sphere, and a leaf in God's forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.

-The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran-

Sepatah Kata Yang Indah...

All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

India Arie -The Heart Of The Matter

Ini sejalan banget ma kata pendeta pas khotbah kemaren ini.. khotbahnya ada di beberapa post sebelum ini. Kemarahan mang ga pernah menyelesaikan masalah yang ada malah nambah masalah. It's about your attitude. Apalagi buat yang ada darting wiw bisa stroke booow kalo marah2. Memaafkan.. That's better but harder to do

Quotes of The Day

Quotes of The Day

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt quotes (American 26th US President (1901-09), 1858-1919)

“What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now.”

Quote - Effort

Nothing requires a greater effort of thought than arguments to justify the rule of non-thought.
[Milan Kundera]
-dibahas... kalo dipikir mang iya ya kalo dalam di-Indonesiakan yang berarti gada yang lebih usaha untuk berpikir dalam membenarkan sesuatu yang datang dari TANPA MIKIR.. kurang lebih gituuuu eik bejelibet.. Pas ada sebuah argumen yang keluar dari istilah teu boga pikiran mang jadi susah untuk dijustifikasi dan dicari rasionalitasnya karena basicnya mang dari ketidak-adaan pikiran.. from 1% it could be 100%.. But from 0, it's really difficult.. -

The greater the effort, the greater the glory.

Being charming takes time and effort, and I am busy.
