Hello, Problem!

Berawal dari mencari quotes bagus, saya jadi teringat ada satu buku yang benar-benar membuat saya tersentuh. Lucunya, si penulis adalah orang masih menolak dibilang penulis, tapi bukunya sangat menginspirasi banyak orang, termasuk saya.

Si penulis itu mengawali tulisannya dengan sesuatu yang berbau fashion alias fashion blogger. Bisa tebak? Yak, betul! Diana Rikasari.

Berhubung buku “#88 Love Life” saya masih menginap di tempat lain… Jadi, saya putuskan untuk mengutip langsung dari blog-nya :D

Semua quotes-nya bagus. Sulit hanya bisa memilih satu. Makanya, akhirnya saya susun ulang kata-kata yang menurut saya berhubungan :)

Begitu selesai menyusun quotes dari Diana, saya juga terdorong untuk menulis. YEY! :D

Nah, ini tulisan saya: "Bahagia itu Pelan-pelan".

Hello, Problem!

Problem

 “Yes. Us humans get tired. We feel upset because things aren't as smooth as we've expected.” –

[Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Have To | May 18, 2014]

See with these perspectives:

1. Slow down

 “In life, there comes a time when you need to slow down. You may have been running so fast, or too far, and you run out of track, and you exceed the limits your legs seem running without the control of your brain.” –  [Chasing Pavements | March 25, 2010]

“Because we all need to stop once in a while. To think. To evaluate. To accept life. So that we move on with a better perspective.” – [Break Time | September 25, 2014]

2. You are your problem.

“…Our problem is our own. And other people do not always have to understand. Try to be responsible for our own selves.” –

[Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Have To | May 18, 2014]

“…So rather than having bad assumptions about people and question why they treat you unpleasantly, question yourself first.” – [Quote of The Day | March 3, 2012]

3. Put off your ‘glasses’

 “…People make mistakes, and there are reasons for them. So listen to them first, then judge and evaluate.” – [Being Sensible | March 7, 2012]

 “…Have the sense to put ourselves in other people’s shoes. Life’s not always about me, me and me.” – [Being Sensible | March 7, 2012]

4. Less Expectation

 “The key to stay sane, positive and calm, is to set your expectations just right. Many times we feel disappointed, angry or sad because things didn't turn out the way we wish it would. And that happens because we expect too much.” –   [Stay Calm & Eat Cookies | December 26, 2012]

“In life, you can't expect everyone to be nice to you, as maybe, you haven't been that nice to everyone anyway.” – [Quote of The Day | March 3, 2012]

“…But, that does not give us the right to treat other people bad.” – [Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Have To | May 18, 2014]

5. Life goes on, Things change, and so do People

“In life, things happen beyond what our brain can imagine. It is uncontrollable and can seem unbearable. But things will feel alright if we've prepared ourselves for anything that could happen. Because life isn't perfect, neither are we. So why expect things to run perfectly too?”  

–  [StayCalm & Eat Cookies | December 26, 2012]

“…People change so don't expect them to stay the same forever. Let us grow and become a better version of ourselves, with or without the support from people we wished we would always have. We lose and we gain people in our lives. Because maybe, there isn't enough space for too many people in our hearts. Expect life to be exciting, because it really is.” –   [Stay Calm & Eat Cookies | December 26, 2012]

“…Life is short, but quality beats quantity. You should have no fear. You should only have hopes, and dreams. And as you walk, you’ll accomplish them all.” – 

[Chasing Pavements | March 25, 2010]

6. Find Win-Win Solutions

“In order to have a simple, happy life...I think we just gotta know our rights and responsibilities and live accordingly.” –  [Proportions | June 24, 2013]

“…Sometimes, we think about our rights too much, and speak up too loud when someone else violates our rights. We often forget, that other people also have the right to be heard, to be forgiven and to be given a second chance too. Because we also have rights to make mistakes. Because without any, we would never learn.” –  [Proportions | June 24, 2013]

“When you are able to let out all your thoughts and emotions and managed to be the last to speak in an argument—it doesn't mean you win. You win by being able to control your thoughts and emotions, and allow the other to speak, and allow both sides to understand where and why things went wrong and put the case to rest—and move on. Sometimes, it's not always about proving a point. Most of the times, it's about two heads with different assumptions and expectations, and all it needs is a big heart and an open mind to accept such differences and find a solution to accommodate them.” –  [Friday Night | November 29, 2013]
