I once heard a speech from one of my inspirations. She said something about kindness, and it kinda slaps me in the face. "Kindness is something that we should all have. That's an innate quality that we have and we need more of that out there".
I always take one or two or even many messages from great people. I think it's because of my father. As i was a kid, while the other kids go play outside, have some memories of playing outside during nap time, well, I was different. It doesn't mean I did not have any memory like that, well I do have, but not as often as my friend's. My parent tried to distract me with books. Like not going out playing with my friends, they would buy me some new books or toys so I could stay play inside the house, and I could bring my friends too if I wanted, or if they wanted. The books that my father bought, were all about the outstanding beings. I really really hated when my father just gave me no time to play put with my friends, instead buying me books. I really really hated that. But as I look back now, i re-read again the book, in the age i am right now, I am so thankful for that. For having a chance to know the life of these outstanding beings, whether mortals or immortals. As I re-read again, I got a lot of useful information that i could apply on my daily life. And there are always messages in every story, and it is very interesting for me.
Hellen Keller, Walt Disney, Abraham Lincoln, Isadora Duncan, Mahatma Gandhi, Bach, Marie Curie, and Florance Nightingale, they shaped me. They created me. They built me. They were my childhood best friends. Now, I realize that, well this is not my resolution but i realize that it could be amazing to live a useful life, to live a meaningful life, to live as a person who can help others, who can bring happiness to other's, to be an outstanding being. So my prayer is that. May this life give me luck and a chance to be one of the good outstanding beings. Aamiin ya Allah.
And as a welcoming post, Happy New Year! :)
