a women

For all women, don’t you know that?

A woman has strengths that amaze men
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens
She holds happiness, love and opinions
She smiles when She feels like screaming
She sings when She feels like crying,
Cries when She’s happy
And laughs when She’s afraid

Her love is unconditional!
there is only one thing wrong with her
SHE SOMETIMES FORGETS
WHAT SHE IS WORTH!

i got this from my buddy a few time ago..
love this quote and just want to share it here

the reason not to quit

One day I decided to quit…I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality…
I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

“God”, I said. “Can you give me one good reason not to quit?”

His answer surprised me…
“Look around”, He said.
“Do you see the fern and the bamboo?”
“Yes”, I replied.

“When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.” He said.

“In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit.” He said.

“Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant…But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.” He said to me.

“Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots?”

“I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you.”
“Don’t compare yourself to others.” He said.

“The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern.
Yet they both make the forest beautiful.” 
“Your time will come”, God said to me. “You will rise high”

 “How high should I rise?” I asked.
 “How high will the bamboo rise?” He asked in return.
 “As high as it can?” I questioned
“Yes.” He said, “Give me glory by rising as high as you can.”

I left the forest and bring back this story. I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you. Yes…..He will never give up on you.

Moga2 kita sama2 bisa lulus taon ini dengan nilai yang bisa bikin kita senyum2 sendiri 🙂

Here is for you guys (diambil dari tulisan glenn, tokoh oke di dunia iklan)

Suatu siang, saya berkesempatan untuk ngobrol dengan penari  balet terkenal dari Rusia. Beliau mengunjungi kampus  saya. Rasanya seperti bertemu dengan dewi. Keriput di  wajahnya tak mampu menutupi keanggunan balerina sejati. Setiap geraknya adalah keindahan. Dan yang masih melekat di  hati saya adalah sorotan matanya. Berisi. Berbinar.
Seolah hendak berkata “aku lah bintang!”

Ada beberapa petuah yang sampai saat ini saya simpan dalam hati.
Tadinya mau saya simpan sendiri. Tapi kata pepatah cina, semakin banyak ilmu yang kita bagikan, semakin banyak ilmu didapat.

“Penari yang hebat, akan tetap mencuri perhatian walau Ia dibalik panggung sekalipun.” Kita sering ngamuk kalau ngerasa orang lain mendapat kredit atas keberhasilan yang kita kerjakan. “Kok Creative Director naik panggung padahal gue yang bikin tuh iklan…”
Tenang aja lah… yang bagus akan kelihatan juga pada waktunya.

“Akan sangat menggelikan kalau penari mengikuti gerak lampu sorot. Biarkan lampu sorotlah yang mengikuti penari yang menari dengan sepenuh hati.” Sering kita, orang iklan, ngebet pengen cepet-cepet menang award dan menjadi sorotan. Semua cara dilakukan. Sampe terkadang lupa untuk bekerja dengan sepenuh hati.

“Semua penari bisa melakukan gerakan yang sama. Tapi alasan di balik gerakan lah yang membedakan. Menari untuk diri sendiri atau untuk orang lain.” Kita sering bikin kerjaan yang masturbatif. Lupa kalau kita bikin iklan buat orang lain. Padahal orang lain lah yang menilai kerjaan kita.

“Di atas setiap panggung hanya boleh ada satu primadona. Yang lain cuma embel-embel.” Di tengah persaingan orang iklan seperti sekarang…
jadi primadona iklan saya gak tau caranya. Tapi kerja keras dan belajar sampe mampus sepertinya bisa memuluskan jalan.

Semoga berguna. Selamat liburan semuaaaaa… jangan lupa proposal TA:)
