Masa Kritis dalam Hidup

Let me tell you something you already know.

The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.

Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth.

But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!”

(a memorable scene in “Rocky Balboa”)

Ada masa-masa dalam hidup dimana kita hanya perlu bertahan dari segenap ombak menerjang-nerjang. Cukup terus bangkit ketika terjatuh berulang kali. Sekedar terus tersenyum ketika hati begitu perih. Just hold on, badai pasti berlalu. Seperti yang terasa setahun lalu, saat semua terasa begitu berat.

Kini, ada tantangan baru yang membutuhkan keahlian dan pengalaman yang belum pernah didapatkan. Skenario hidup yang jawabannya seakan tersembunyi di tumpukan jerami. I never face this situation before. Risky, but it will be worthed. Setiap aral melintang adalah anak tangga menuju peningkatan kualitas diri.
