Quote :

“In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can”

                         By : Nikos Kazantzakis

Response :

Everyone wants to be success in doing or reaching something that they want, include me. Certainly I want to be success and we must have a ripe mind to reach it. Firstly we have to believe to ourself, on everything we must be sure that we can do what we want to do and we have to be positive thinking. For an example, when you are studying math you think that you can't do it or answer the sheet because if we think like that “what's all in our mind, will response by our action”. So we think that we can't do the question and finally we throw the sheet, being angry to ourself and we think we can't. Actually we can do it if we believe to ourself.

“Sometimes later, become never”

By : Gori {at university from Bandung}

http://www.brainyquote.com

Response :

Most of people just say what they want to do and they postpone it. They put in other time, other time and they don't do it. For an example, today we want to pray Dhuha at 08 o'clock then when the time that we have to pray we postpone it again and finally become never. Because everything what we can do today don't put until tomorrow. Inside of human's heart, certainly want to do a kindness but devil always disturb us to do it. Maybe so that's why, the one who created this quote say that “Sometimes later, become never is equals devil's trick power and manu people has cheated by devil. For another example, when we want to charitable even at night we have said to our heart that we'll give a charity but when the time has come; there the place that devil starts to forbid us. Sometimes we feel lazy to do it and possion feeling as well come to attack our heart. If we can't control it, possion will make us suffer (more lazy). Agree with Surah Yusuf; ayat 53 :

Ayat; 53: “And I don't (declare) that myself is free (from mistakes), because in truth, passion always motivates to crime, except (passion) that has given by my god. In truth, my god is a great pardon and a great loving”

But we can prevent it all, provided when we want to do an advantage must be synchronize with a strong intention, keep away from indolent nature and don't care about possion and devil, just be of the opinion by the rush wind.

Quote :

“Go for it now. The future is promised to no one”

                       By: Wayne Dyer

Response :

As long as we delay our job or duty that we have to do, as long as we will not get the result and it will be hard to get success. For an example, Mr.Aang informs us “on tuesday we'll have guesses, we have to make an event. So who wants to be the coordinator for the event?” actually that is the right time to take chances, chance won't come twice as well, even there's someone gets that chance but it's not really good like the first chance. To be a person, we have to be active, brave and do an act because if we're just silent we won't change anything, our position and our studying will not increase. If we have a desire, we have to struggle to make it comes true as long as we can do and believe to ourself about what we have desire/dream, don't forget to keep praying to god. Certainly it will become true if we don't delay what we have to do.

Quote :

“A promise made is a debt unpaid”

Response :

Promise is easy to say but it's hard to pay because promise is a debt that we have to pay. But sometimes will always there's an obstacle to disturb us when we want to pay the debt like we are getting sick, our neighbor passes away, and others. Human's life of course will there's a commitment and interaction with others. Except, if the human decorates theirself with a good attitude and the important attitude is to deliver/keep promises. So, pay your promise and promise will ask the responsibility in the beyond by god (Allah).

Quote :

    “The starting of all achievement is desire”

                      By : Napoleon Hill

Response :

If we want to do something, certainly we start from our heart and if we don't do anything from heart, be better we don't do anything. Because that all will be wasted and all your struggle will not be useful because you don't start it from heart. Each of human of course has a desire, like I want to be a doctor or I want to be a midwife and most of people will be angry if they don't achieve their desire. This quote describes anything that we got start from our desire and I agree to this quote because however that something we got certainly start from desire, it means we won't get anything if we don't have desire from ourself to act. Like our president says (Pak Dodo) “Let's work” means “Come on, shows your desire!”

Quote :

“The roots of education is bitter, but the fruit is sweet”

                               By : Aristotle

Response :

Sometimes we always feel that every our effort in reaching our dream is a fact. Will we reach our dream or not? Or it's just an empty hope in order to survive in a true life we trust. For an example, we are under a big mango's tree, high and luxuriant then we want to get the fruit, first we have to climb. To climb its, we have to be patient, struggle and believe we can get it. The same thing like dream we want to reach, when we are being struggle of course we will fail and it's natural because it's a part of struggle process and a lesson. From a failure we can take the philosopy and it will be our new motivation. If we plant a plant, it will grow up and come fruits, like we struggle for reaching our dream now, it's not problem if we face a lot of challenges even it will be a good part from your struggle. When you get success, you will feel the result from all your struggle to achieve your aim.

Quote :

“The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend”

By : Abraham Lincoln

http://www.brainyquote.com

Response :

To apologize an enemy is not easy like we invert our palm hand, we need a well strategy, because sometimes our enemy is often to see our weakness. How cruel is our enemy but we must be able to respect him/her and when she/he shows us his/her real character, maybe it'll make him/her think clearly about us. If wee see a nature law, certainly will be there's a (positive+positive=positive), otherwise if law applies to (negative+negative=negative). It's not about mathematic or physic but clearly when a human created as a perfect creatures in the world. In each human's life has own majority and a fault, but we can fix that all to be perfect. So what happen to our enemy?...yaa...one more time I just want to say that (negative+negative) of course (negative), instead (min negative). Oh god...thank you, you have acquanted me with your love (prophet Muhammad), because a thousand of negative thing that he got and a thousand of positive thing as well that he'll give or he has. So, I think it's enough and my duty to give responses to this quote. I am sure, you all know what does this writing means.

Quote :

“Attitude is a little thing that makes us a big defference”

By : Winston Churchill

http://www.brainyquote.com

Response :

Attitude is not a little thing but attitude is a huge thing because each religion was born by one mission to guide and change human's attitude. So I disagree if attitude is a little thing. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W was born to fix human's attitude and he is number one if attitude is one of his duty that he holds. Whatever that he holds and teach is a beautiful thing for us. So I suggest “Attitude is not a little thing but attitude is a huge thing that can change us a huge difference on many people.”

  “Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom”

                          By : George S. Patton

http://www.brainyquote.com

Response :

Reaching our dream is like a ball bounces because as hard we reflect the ball, so high it will bounce. For an example if we want to be successful, we must have a big struggle to reach it. A struggle that starts from zero until we increase to be successful person. We need a hardwork, consistent, patient and submite (tawakal), with that all we'll know how far we struggle and there will seem our success. But if we are struggling to achieve our success, certainly we'll fall down and in this condition we have to back our spirit for our future.

“Fall down doesn't mean we are fail, but fall is the best experience that make us more go forward and consistent to achieve our success in the future.”

    “It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not”

                                                        By : Andre Gide

http://www.brainyquote.com

Response :

Most of people hate by others is a smart people because there's another smart people comparables them. In truth, it's better we become ordinary person but has an excellent soul, honest, not arrogant and not show off than an excellent person, arrogant because of the fashion and the smartness, apparently the soul is just so-so and a coward soul. There's a person has a bad fashion and not good to become our friend as well, but the heart and the attitude make all people pay attention to that person. That's all depend on us, how we walk on our friend relationship because each person has a different characteristic. For an example; this person is similiar to be hated, mock and bully by the friends. Even they will be ashamed of that person in public but because of that person has an excellent soul to oppose and finally they feel shy as well. From this moment, all people can evaluate and compare which person is just so-so but ahs an excellent soul and not arrogant. More over if we want to have a friend, we want that person has a good morals, polite and has a good fashion looking, but when they get them, we feel regret and angry because we choose a wrong person to be our friend and they disappoint us. A person who has an attitude like that one is really easy to fell because of the arrogance and like to show off.

Quote:

“You're never too old to set another goal to dream a new dream”

                                    By : C.S. Lewis

Response :

To reach our dream is not depends on our age, everyone can have a dream, a goal or everything and for someone who has dream, the time won't limited. If we want to achieve our another goal set to dream a new dream. But it's all depends on us, can we manage our time for the next life, how will our life go in the future?

The second, we have to hardwork

The third, we have to consistent on it. Certainly, when we are being consistent, all disaster will come to test our patient, how strong we are to face it all the challenge. The last one is always pray to god, because only him know the way about our dream. Can we achieve it or not? We have to ask him what we want? If we always hardwork and big think, we won't achieve our dream without our pray.

“Forget the past that made you cry and focus on the present that completes your smile

because Allah (god) always know the best for you

By : Mutia

http://www.brainyquote.com

Response :

Because if you're not focus on the present, you'll stuck in your past life. You won't be able to see how is your life in the future and your life has controled by all things that make you cry. For now you just have to think and focus on your present life. Your life now is your life in the future, so it's really important to be cheerful, spirit and struggle in our studying. God is always beside someone who is excating a knowledge, just him know the best for you and what will you be in your next life. Make sure that you always believe in god, who helps you and accompany you when you're being lonely. Forget something that made us cry it doesn't mean we don't take any lesson from that moment. For example when you have problems with your parents about your attitude to them and you just have to realize yourself what mistake have you made to them. Another example like you say a rude words or “ah” when they ask you to do something they want. It's really hurt their heart, but from that all, you can make a new life from your mistake and forget it. The other one is, you must to be like a driver and you must focus on the way you go. And also you must understand what is behind you, maybe there's a cat or hole on the back. You can take the lesson and don't forget about your past moment because all people are just human being. We'll not forget everything that happended to us.

“I don't trust words, I trust action”

• Response:

Too many people just talk and talk, they put words by words to be a sentence and share their talking to others. Because if we just talk to everyone then we never do anything from our talking, it's better we become a silent person than many talk.

We have to do an action to make all people believe on what are we talking about and they will trust us because we do the action.

“Only the broken hearted know the truth about love”

~Cooley~

• Response:

Because the broken hearted has more experience about love, it's like we want to try some foods and if we haven't tried we won't know what is the taste. Same thing like love, if we haven't felt how the broken hearted is we won't know the true love is.

From the broken hearted, we can know how to get a loyal couple and ready to be with us forever. Also, love your parents, children and you. Because if our couple just love to us, so he/she doesn't love and care to our parents. We have to be smart and careful to choose the best one and who will be our couple.

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead”

• Response:

Because ir there's no love in this world, all people will not understand and won't know how to love each other. For an example, what has god created in this world, love our family, friends and include your health. If there's no love, I won't life, won't feel how beautiful, challenge life is and know you.

Will we find our life without love?

This life will not be harmony and fantastic without love, it will be an empty room and fake hope if nothing love in our heart to reach all what we want. And also, it's like we plant a plant and we never water it, so it will not grow up and will not give a cheer color but it will die. The same thing like love, if we don't start to do something from our heart, the result will not be good and satisfied.

The main point,love all things in this world so the someone who is in heaven will love you. That's all come from your heart, if no, you will not know how life and love is.

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself”

• Response:

Some people think changing the world can only by the smartest person, being famous and being cool. Just one thing that can change the world is you, because the first thing like change yourself is the most important. Sometimes some people think that you have to have a large amount of money to change it. The main point, no one can change the world before you think to change yourself.
