Another Review

Below, are the list of wonderful quotes from the three books I have finished in the past three months. Hope you'll find it useful too.

* Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom

"This is why," the Reb said, "faith is so important. It is a rope for us all to grab, up and down the mountain. I may not be remembered in so many years. But what I believe and have taught - about God, about our tradition - that can go on. It comes from my parents and their parents before them. And if it stretches to my grandchildren and to their grandchildren, then we are all, you know ... "

"Connected?"

"That's it."

* Letters to Sam by Daniel Gottlieb

Once, a man came home late one night to find he was locked out of his house. His neighbor saw him searching for his keys under the streetlight and joined him in his search. Soon, several other neighbors joined in, everyone trying to help their neighbor find his keys.

After a while, one of them asked where he'd last seen the keys.

"Near the front door."

The neighbor was puzzled. "Then why are you looking all the way down here by the streetlight?"

"Because the light is better!"

Sam, this parable comes to mind as I'm thinking about the road maps that we use to guide us in our lives. Often when we look for answers, we automatically go where the light is better. But sometimes we need to go where it's dark.

* Mimpi Sejuta Dolar by Merry Riana

Kita tidak bisa mendapatkan perubahan apapun dalam hidup jika hanya berpikir dan berpikir. Bahkan ketabahan dan kesabaran juga hanya menjadi dasar dan penjaga. Ada saat di mana kita harus bergerak. Memutar pikiran, menggerakan tubuh, bekerja konkret. Jika belum ada jalan menuju pekerjaan impian, atau kita belum menemukan gambaran seperti apa pekerjaan impian itu, lakukanlah apa saja yang kita bisa, dengan baik. Karena itu membuat sel-sel tubuh kita belajar berinteraksi dengan kerja keras dalam artian konkret.
