“Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.”

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
Charles R. Swindoll quotes (American Writer and Clergyman, b.1934)

“Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.”
-

“It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.”
-

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
Maria Robinson quotes

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”
Ashley Smith quotes

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Howard Thurman quotes (American Theologian, Clergyman and Activist. 1900-1981)

-

ketika kita mulai kita harus siap menghadapi perhentian
ketika kita merasakan kesenangan kita harus siap menghadapi kesedihan
ketika kita merasa semua lancar kita harus siap menghadapi penyesalan
semua sudah ada pasangannya
semua sudah ada pendampingnya
semua sudah ada resikonya

ku tak bisa mengeluarkan kata" lagi
ku tak bisa memikirkan rangkaian huruf lagi
ku tak tau ada apa di otakku ini
ku tak tau mengapa ini terjadi
ku harus siap menghadapi ini

keluarga..
mamah
papah
aa
teteh
terimakasih semuanya
kalian memberi ku perhatian yang sangat besar
keharmonisan yang sangat hangat
canda yang menghasilkan tawa
ketika problema datang menghampiri
aku dapat melupakannya ketika kita berkumpul bersama
dan
maaf atas segala sikap ku
khususnya teteh
kita memang seringkali bertengkar karena hal - hal sepele
kita seringkali menganggap diri sendiri adalah yang paling benar
aku sebagai ade meminta maaf dengan segala hormat
maafkan aku teh.

aku seringkali iri melihat teman - teman yang memiliki harta benda lebih
tapi kini aku berpikir bahwa kita memiliki yang lebih dari sekedar harta benda
kita memiliki kasih sayang
kita memiliki rasa saling sayang satu sama lain
sekarang aku mulai mengerti apa itu arti dari keluarga
TERIMA KASIH dan MAAF untuk segalanya
I LOVE MY FAMILY

kutahu aku memang gak peka
kau memang tak bisa ku terka
iarkan ku menusuk belati ini kepada hatiku
dibandingkan kau tak nyaman bersama ku
terimakasih untuk semua yang telah di berikan
kini ku kan berteman lagi dengan kesendirian
tapi tak apalah
karena ini kan maumu dan jangan biarkan ini menjadi masalah
ku ingin kita tak bagaikan anjing dan kucing setelah ini
saling membenci
saling mencaci maki
huft..
masa depan masih panjang
masih banyak cobaan yang harus diterjang
pada akhirnya aku hanya ingin mengucapkan "TERIMA KASIH" dan "MAAF"

banyak org menerjemahkan "apakah cinta itu?"

Cinta seperti matahari, ia tetap bercahaya. Walau malam menjelma,
cahayanya pada bulan tetap menerangi kekadang ia juga gerhana tetapi akan kembali jua kecerahannya.

Cinta adalah santapan jiwa.
Jiwa tanpa cinta bagai rumah yang kosong.
Cinta tanpa menjiwai bagai layang-layang putus tali.

Cintu adalah buta…
cinta tidak mengenal usia, paras rupa, mahupun kekayaan dan harta karun,
tetapi dari keikhlasan dari hati setiap insan antara satu sama lain.

Tidak semua orang yang engkau cintai, mencintaimu dan sikap ramahmu kadang kala dibalas dengan sikap tidak sopan.
Jika cinta suci tidak datang daripada tabiatnya, maka tidak ada gunanya cinta yang dibuat-buat.

Sayang tidak bermaksud cinta.
Suka tidak serasi dengan cinta.
Kagum tidak bererti cinta.
Bangga tidak semestinya cinta.
Cinta adalah CINTA .

Cinta itu seperti sinar matahari, memberi TANPA mengharap kembali.
Cinta itu seperti sinar matahari, TIDAK MEMILIH siapa yang ia sinari.
Cinta itu seperti sinar matahari yang MEMBERI KEHANGATAN DI HATI..

Cinta umpama ‘treasure hunt’.
Cita cita dan tujuan kita satu untuk menuju ke penamat yang paling mengembirakan.
Namun di dalam perjalanan kita akan menghadapi pelbagai rintangan dan cabaran.
Andainya tidak mampu meneruskan, kita akan tersungkur dan hadiah utamanya akan di kebas oang lain.
Tetapi tak usahlah kecewa. Walaupun hadiahnya tidak kita perolehi, tetapi keseronokannya kita sudah rasa.
Jadi bercintalah sepenuh hati.
Namun janganletakkan harapan terlalu tinggi.

Kekecewaan terlalu pahit untuk ditelan,
terlalu payah untuk dilupakan namun dalam cinta pasti akan merasai kecewa dan dikecewakan
walau bukan itu matlamat dalam setiap percintaan.

Kadangkala orang yang paling mencintaimu adalah orang yang tak pernah menyatakan cintanya padamu
kerana orang itu takut kau berpaling dan menjauhinya.
Dan bila dia suatu masa hilang dari pandanganmu….
kau akan menyedari dia adalah cinta yang tidak pernah kau sedari….

Cinta suatu yang indah,
cinta boleh buat kita gundah,
cinta buat hati berdarah
dan cinta jua boleh membawa kesalan yang tak sudah.

Jika kita mencintai seseorang, kita akan sentiasa mendoakannya walaupun dia tidak berada disisi kita.

Hal yang menyedihkan dalam hidup adalah ketika kamu bertemu seseorang yang sangat berarti bagimu.
Hanya untuk menemukan bahawa pada akhirnya menjadi tidak bererti dan kamu harus membiarkannya pergi.

Kamu tahu bahwa kamu sangat merindukan seseorang, ketika kamu memikirkannya hatimu hancur berkeping.
Dan hanya dengan mendengar kata “Hai” darinya, dapat menyatukan kembali kepingan hati tersebut.

Tuhan ciptakan 100 bahagian kasih sayang.
99 disimpan disisinya dan hanya 1 bahagian diturunkan ke dunia.
Dengan kasih sayang yang satu bahagian itulah,
makhluk saling berkasih sayang sehingga kuda mengangkat kakinya kerana takut anaknya terpijak.

Kadangkala kamu tidak menghargai orang yang mencintai kamu sepenuh hati,sehinggalah kamu kehilangannya.
Pada saat itu, tiada guna sesalan karena perginya tanpa berpatah lagi.

Jangan mencintai seseorang seperti bunga, kerana bunga mati kala musim berganti.
Cintailah mereka seperti sungai, kerana sungai mengalir selamanya.

Permulaan cinta adalah membiarkan orang yang kamu cintai menjadi dirinya sendiri,
dan tidak merubahnya menjadi gambaran yang kamu inginkan.
Jika tidak, kamu hanya mencintai pantulan diri sendiri yang kamu temukan di dalam dirinya.

Cinta itu adalah perasaan yang mesti ada pada tiap-tiap diri manusia,
ia laksana setitis embun yang turun dari langit,bersih dan suci.
Cuma tanahnyalah yang berlain-lainan menerimanya.
Jika ia jatuh ke tanah yang tandus,
tumbuhlah oleh kerana embun itu kedurjanaan, kedustaan, penipu, langkah serong dan lain-lain perkara yang tercela.
Tetapi jika ia jatuh kepada tanah yang subur,
di sana akan tumbuh kesuciaan hati, keikhlasan, setia budi pekerti yang tinggi dan lain-lain perangai yang terpuji.
~ Hamka

Kata-kata cinta yang lahir hanya sekadar di bibir dan bukannya di hati mampu melumatkan seluruh jiwa raga,
manakala kata-kata cinta yang lahir dari hati yang ikhlas mampu untuk mengubati segala luka di hati orang yang mendengarnya.

Kamu tidak pernah tahu bila kamu akan jatuh cinta.
namun apabila sampai saatnya itu, raihlah dengan kedua tanganmu,
dan jangan biarkan dia pergi dengan sejuta rasa tanda tanya dihatinya

Cinta bukanlah kata murah dan lumrah dituturkan dari mulut ke mulut
tetapi cinta adalah anugerah Tuhan yang indah dan suci jika manusia dapat menilai kesuciannya.

Bercinta memang mudah. Untuk dicintai juga memang mudah.
Tapi untuk dicintai oleh orang yang kita cintai itulah yang sukar diperoleh.
Satu-satunya cara agar kita memperolehi kasih sayang,
ialah jangan menuntut agar kita dicintai,
tetapi mulailah memberi kasih sayang kepada orang lain tanpa mengharapkan balasan.

berhubung catatan yg lama hilang jadi skrg kita buka lembaran baru
