The World Ain't Sunshines and Rainbows

Iseng-iseng cari motivasi di google, akhirnya saya jatuh pada pilihan kata itu. Again, youtube inspired me with its motivational video. Dan saat ini, sebetulnya banyak sekali sumber-sumber yang dapat menginspirasi kita bahkan di hari terburuk yang kita punya. Langsung saja saya kutip kata-katanya Rocky Balboa dalam film Rocky yang saya liat di youtube.

"Let me tell you something you already know.
The world ain't sunshine and rainbows. 

It's a very mean and nasty place, and i dont't care how tough you are,
It will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. 

You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't about how hard you hit.
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward".

Listened to the words above, i remember one of my friends. He had got beaten by life for many times. There were so many problems came into his life. I imagined, if i were him i might not be able to handle the problems. He is a tough guy, but again, it's not how tough you are. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

I Wrote The Same, But Different Words

Tulisan ini terinspirasi oleh penjaga penitipan sepatu di masjid RS Fatmawati, Jaksel. Tepatnya masjid yang berada di depan gedung Teratai. Sore kemarin saya, istri, anak-anak dan kedua orang tua saya mengunjungi seorang teman yang sedang sakit di sana. Kami tiba di sana jam 1647 WIB dan terlihat pengunjung sudah ramai menunggu pintu rumah sakit terbuka untuk para pengunjung. Rumah sakit ini sedang berbenah dan salah satu sisi pembenahannya adalah penertiban jam kunjungan.

It was 1700 WIB when the doors were opened finally. My wife and children waited for us in the lobby. I and my parents went upstairs to meet my neighbour who is sick. I asked my parents where the room was but they have no info about that. We were in 5th floor when i decided to ask a nurse about the room. "Sus, boleh tanya ruangan di mana pasien berada?", i asked.

Jangan Lupakan Pelanggan Anda

 Adalah bu Rogayah, pelanggan kami yang berprofesi sebagai guru TK di wilayah Depok yang merupakan pelanggan setia kami. Awalnya saya dan bu Rogayah tidak saling kenal tentunya. Suatu hari minggu beliau berkunjung ke lapak saya dan melihat produk goodiebags yang saya jual. Dia tidak membeli satupun goodiebags saat itu.

Beberapa hari setelah itu, bu Rogayah mengirimkan saya sms dan menyatakan berminat dengan goodiebagsnya namun untuk harga yang lebih murah tentunya. Saya terpaksa menjawab bahwa saya tidak bisa menurunkan harga reseller karena harga yang saya berikan sudah merupakan harga terbawah. Cukup alot hingga akhirnya saya putuskan untuk memberikan produk yang standarnya menurut saya kurang bagus, namun harganya pas dengan yang diminta si Ibu.

Just Show Them

THE AGATE

I was preparing my stuffs when bang Sandy came to me and gave me 6 pcs of rings. He said that i have to sell this and bring him some amount of money. Agate ring is something new to me. I don't even know what make it precious.

I took picture on those rings and put them in my blackberry's display picture. I was not really sure if i can sell those rings. My friends are mostly young but agate is identical with old man :P

To me it's not about sell or not to sell, it's more about try. Lets give those ring a try. They deserve it.
