Hidup bagaikan Roda

Hidup bagaikan roda.

Kadang berada di atas, kadang di bawah.

I’m at the bottom of the wheel right now.. So far away from the surface that i can’t see anything from here.

10 Tip's Sukses Dalam Hidup

• Bersyukurlah atas hari ini. “Just to be alive is a grand thing,” kata Agatha Christie, salah satu novelis detektif terkemuka. Jauhkanlah perasaan depresi dan sedih tanpa juntrungan. Jalani setiap hari dengan hati penuh syukur. Ingatlah akan Bill Porter. Kalau dia bisa jadi seorangsalesman berhasil, apapun yang Anda inginkan sebenarnya pasti bisa tercapai.
• Belajarlah seakan-akan Anda akan hidup selamanya, hiduplah seakan-akan Anda akan mati besok. Mohandas Gandhi pernah berkata demikian, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever.” Belajar terus, upgrade diri terus dengan berbagai cara baik yang memerlukan effort maupun effortlessly.
• Setiap ketrampilan pasti ada penggunanya. Ini saya dapat dari salah satu sahabat saya seorang wanita blonda dari San Diego.
  Sahabat saya Crystal ini pernah membesarkah hati saya, “There are all kinds of writers, there are all kinds of readers.” Ketika saya down karena merasa incompetent bertarung dengan penulis-penulis lokal di sini, Crystal mengingatkan bahwa setiap jenis penulis pasti ada pembacanya
  (niche). Find your niche, so you find your place in the world.
• Bukalah jalan sendiri, orisinil. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
• Belajar mencintai apa yang Anda punyai, bukan berangan-angan akan apa yang Anda tidak miliki. Use whatever you have at hand, impian hanya akan menjadi nyata kalau Anda menggunakan instrumen yang kasat mata saat ini juga.
• Lihat apa yang kelihatan dan lihat apa yang belum kelihatan. Gunakan visi dan misi untuk mengenal apa yang Anda tuju. Seringkali, apa yang belum kelihatan adalah blue print untuk sukses Anda. Begitu kelihatan, ia akan menjadi semacam de ja vu.
• Telan kepahitan hidup dan bersiap-siaplah dalam menyongsong hari baru. Setiap hari adalah hari baru. Bangunlah tiap pagi dengan hati yang curious akan apa yang akan Anda alami hari itu. Be excited, be courageous to start the day.
• Semakin banyak Anda memberi, semakin banyak Anda akan menerima. The more you give, the more you get in return. Dalam marketing, ini mungkin disebut sebagai taktik public relations atau publicity. Namun, dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, ini juga berlaku tanpa diselipi dengan iming-iming tertentu. Saya sendiri sudah membuktikannya. Semakin banyak kita memberi (dalam arti luas, tidak terbatas uang dan materi), semakin besar penghargaan dan berkat yang kita terima.
• Jadilah mentor diri sendiri. What would Oprah do? Itu yang saya pakai sebagai ukuran. Saya tidak memilih Nabi atau pembesar negara, namun seorang wanita berkulit berwarna yang telah membalikkan nasibnya sendiri menjadi salah satu orang berpengaruh di dunia.
• Saya eksis dengan maupun tanpa tubuh saya. Setidak-tidaknya sekali sehari, saya mengingatkan diri sendiri bahwa hidup ini bukanlah untuk selamanya. Maka berbuatlah terbaik pada saat ini juga. Jangan tunggu-tunggu lagi. “Just do it,” kata Cher di Farewell Concertnya beberapa tahun yang lampau. I do my best every chance I have. Berbuatlah terbaik di setiapkesempatan, karena itu mungkin yang terakhir.

Ingatlah sukses bukanlah tujuan, bukan pula perjalanan. Sukses adalah mindset. Bukan hanya cogito er go sum (saya berpikir maka saya ada), namun sum ego prosperitas (sukses adalah saya).

How to Enjoy Your Life

We all complain about our lives from time to time. An unexpected expense comes up or we get laid off from our jobs. So many things can happen to us in even just one day. Unfortunately, complaining is a waste of time. It is a grown up version of whining, and yes, we too have tantrums. The key to enjoying life is in how we react to the events and mishaps in our daily lives.

INTRUCTIONS :

Step 1
Refocus your energy to enjoy your life and feel happy. Right now you might be saying that bad things simply tend to happen to you. Well, you are right, but you are not alone. Try to refocus your energy by being more positive in even the smallest things in your life.

For example, let's say you get to work on time tomorrow. It does not matter if you never get to work on time, or if you always get to work on time. Be proud of yourself for accomplishing that task. Be happy!

Step 2
Practice being in the moment to enjoy your life. Happiness is all about choice and time. A huge part of the ability to enjoy your life is being in the moment and really soaking it up. When you feel happy or excited about a moment, don't stifle those feelings in any way. Our lives happen moment by moment. Allow yourself to be happy. It is ultimately up to you.

Step 3
Be grateful to enjoy your life and be happy. Really enjoying your life begins with being grateful for everything you already have and not wishing you had more. Look around yourself and think about everything that you are grateful for.

Tips & Warnings

• Negativity can sometimes pop up, but you can remind yourself to try and stay positive.
• You can be a good role model for those around you.
• You might find that some people are annoyed by your new attitude towards life.
