Savor the Coffee, not the cup…. C’est la vie!

October 6th, 2011 by Fubu

Life is like a cup of Coffee. Here is the story….

“A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups!

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

This story is describe of what most people live their life. They get mesmerized by the package of the life while they forgot to enjoy what life is. People tend to reach the best package and then start to eyeing other’s package and compare to theirs.

From now on, start to enjoy life instead of worrying about how to get the best tools of life. because “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.” C’est la Vie!!!!

The Time Has Come…

When the sun goes down, it means the day is end and night has come
When the moon shines, it means the stars will be its company to light the night
When a mother feels the contraction, it means a newborn is on the way

And when the time is come, it means the time to reveal all the truth
Nothing but the hurt truth…

Reach your own star

June 24th, 2010 by Fubu

pick your star and reach for it

Pick your star and reach for it (painting credit to Vina Puspita)

Akhirnya baru berani lg nulis di blog ini. Setelah sekian lama tak berani melirik karena foto Brownies yg selalu mengingatkan saya pada anjing pertama saya itu.

Well, kali ini yang ingin saya tulis adalah bertemakan ‘Reach your own star’. Istilah ini saya gunakan karena berkaitan dengan keadaan di sekitar saya. Sejak kecil kita terbiasa dengan pepatah ‘Gantungkan cita-citamu setinggi langit’, istilah itu saya kaitkan kata ‘langit’ dengan ‘bintang’ (bukankah di langit ada bintang?). Banyak lagi pepatah lain yang bertujuan untuk memompa semangat kita untuk meraih cita-cita (aka impian).

Don’t STOP!!!

March 24th, 2009 by Fubu

When everyone around you is messing you up,

But you have to keep on good

 

When People around you is breaking down,

But you have to stand tall

 

When you have nobody to hold on,

But you still have yourself to rely on

 

When people tell you to pull back,

But you’ve got to move on

 

When there’s seems no way out,

But you still have a hope

 

When the one you love leaving you alone,

But you gotta be strong

 

Don’t stop! Just take a rest.

You may cry but not beg.

Find the answer deep down in your heart.

Three Magic Words

January 7th, 2009 by Fubu

  • Sorry (Maaf)

Dengan maaf bukan berarti kalah.

Dengan maaf akan terlihat kalau kita hanya manusia biasa yang pasti membuat kesalahan.

Dengan maaf menunjukkan kedudukan manusia yang setara.

Dengan maaf kita diingatkan untuk mengakui kesalahan kita.

  • Please (Tolong)

Dengan tolong orang lain dapat melihat ketulusan kita.

Dengan tolong orang lain dapat melihat kesungguhan kita.

Dengan tolong akan memperlihatkan bahwa manusia tak semua dapat dilakukan sendiri.

Dengan tolong kita mengajarkan orang lain untuk bersikap sopan.

    • Thank You (Terima Kasih)

    Dengan terima kasih akan memperlihatkan bahwa manusia adalah mahluk ciptaan Tuhan yang memiliki akal budi.

    Dengan terima kasih kita membuat orang lain gembira karena dapat membantu.

    Dengan terima kasih kita membuat diri kita sendiri tersenyum.

    Dengan terima kasih kita akan merasa cukup dengan yang sudah diberikan.

    Dengan terima kasih kita diingatkan mengenai keberadaan orang lain yang lebih penting.

    Demikianlah tiga kata penting di dunia ini. Dengan ketiga kata tersebut diharapkan dunia dapat menjadi tempat yang lebih nyaman bagi sesama. Tak perlu rasa malu atau segan, tak perlu menilai tua atau muda maupun status sosial, dengan ketiga kata itu semua batasan akan lenyap.

    Dan kata favorit saya adalah Terima Kasih, karena terima kasih adalah kata yang diwajibkan dalam setiap agama. Dan saya mengganti kata terima kasih dengan kata bersyukur (Give Thanks). Jangan pernah lupa untuk bersyukur atas apa yang sudah didapat dan apa yang sudah terjadi. So, which one your fave?

    Since When Life Become Fair?

    December 16th, 2008 by Fubu

     

    Since when life become fair?

    when you want a pen but they give you pencil

    complimentary become subtitution

     

    Since when life become fair?

    when you already give your best but no one admit it

    the best become the worst

     

    Since when life become fair?

    when  you always there for them but they don’t 

    someone become nobody

     

    Since when life become fair?

    when you give your life to something you love most but someone crash it

    sweetness become bitterness

     

    Does anyone told you that life is not fair?
