Whispering Wind

We could never learn 
to be brave and patient, 
if there were only joy in the world.

(so, jangan cuma seneng-seneng ya ...)

No one has a right 
to consume happiness 
without producing it.

(so, jangan segan-segan 
 membahagiakan orang lain ya ...)

Optimism is the faith 
that leads to achievement. 
Nothing can be done 
without hope and confidence.

(so, jangan mudah putus asa ya ...)

Character cannot be developed 
in ease and quiet. 
Only through experience of trial 
and suffering can the soul 
be strengthened, ambition inspired, 
and success achieved.

(so, jangan takut menderita dan susah ya ...)

It is necessary to help others, 
not only in our prayers, 
but in our daily lives. 
If we find we cannot help others, 
the least we can do is 
to desist from harming them.

(so, kalau kita tidak bisa berbaik hati
 dengan orang lain, jangan pernah mencoba
 untuk menyakitinya ya ...)

Do not dwell in the past, 
do not dream of the future, 
concentrate the mind 
on the present moment.

(so, lalui saja apa yang ada di depan ya ...)

Thousands of candles 
can be lighted from a single candle, 
and the life of the candle 
will not be shortened. 
Happiness never decreases 
by being shared.

(so, jangan takut untuk berbagi ya ...)

It is better to conquer yourself 
than to win a thousand battles. 
Then the victory is yours. 
It cannot be taken from you, 
not by angels or by demons, 
heaven or hell.

(so, belajarlah menaklukkan 
 diri sendiri ya ...)

The tongue like a sharp knife. 
Kills without drawing blood.

(so, hati-hati dengan lidahmu ya ...)

If we have no peace, 
it is because we have forgotten 
that we belong to each other.

(so, lebih baik damai aja ya ...)

We think sometimes that poverty is only 
being hungry, naked and homeless. 
The poverty of being unwanted, 
unloved and uncared for 
is the greatest poverty. 
We must start in our own homes 
to remedy this kind of poverty.

(so, jadikan rumah 
 sebagai surga dunia ya ...)

Be faithful in small things 
because it is in them 
that your strength lies.

(so, jangan menyepelekan yang kecil ya ...)

If you cannot work with love 
but only with distaste, 
it is better that you should leave your work.

(so, bekerjalah dengan cinta ya ...)

You pray in your distress and in your need
would that you might also pray 
in the fullness of your joy 
and in your days of abundance.

(so, selalu berdoa dalam susah dan senang ya ...)

If you love somebody, let them go, 
for if they return, they were always yours. 
And if they don't, they never were.


(so, santai aja ya, 
  jodoh takkan lari kemana ...)

Your children are not your children. 
They are the sons and daughters 
of Life's longing for itself. 
They came through you but not from you 
and though they are with you 
yet they belong not to you.


(so, jangan terlalu posesif sama anak ya ...)

If you live to be a hundred, 
I want to live to be a hundred 
minus one day 
so I never have to live without you.


(so sweet ya ...)

Being deeply loved by someone 
gives you strength, 
while loving someone deeply,
gives you courage.

(so, dicintai dan mencintai, 
 sama-sama bermakna ya ...)

Relationship is not about finding 
the right person 
but creating the right relationship.
Its not how much we care in the beginning 
but how much we care till the very end.

(so, setia sampai akhir ya ...)
