My Words

“Sepintar, sehebat, dan sebaik apapun anda, pasti ada yang senang ketika anda jatuh, begitu juga sebaliknya sebodoh, sehina dan sejahat apapun anda, pasti ada yang menaruh simpati pada anda”

Begitulah hidup menurut pandangan saya. Kita tidak akan pernah bisa membuat senang semua orang. Kita juga tidak akan pernah membuat semua orang bersimpati kepada kita. Kita tidak akan pernah didukung oleh semua orang. Jika anda adalah seorang yang sangat berpengaruh, seorang Presiden, Gubernur, Direktur, Ulama’, seorang tokoh masyarakat atau apapun, janganlah anda takabur dan terlalu PD bahwa semua orang ada dalam genggaman anda. Tidak!. Sama sekali tidak. Pasti ada seseorang yang menjadi ‘rival/musuh’ anda. Bahkan boleh jadi itu adalah teman, tetangga, atau sahabat anda sendiri. Lalu apakah saya menyarankan anda menjadi seseorang yang penuh curiga? Tidak. Saya hanya ingin kita tidak takabur ketika seolah-olah semua orang mendukung kita, padahal tidak begitu adanya, sehingga kita sewaktu-waktu siap menjadi bahan tertawaan ketika jatuh, dan kemudian siap untuk bangkit lagi.

Begitu juga sebaliknya. Jika anda merasa hidup anda sama sekali tidak berguna, anda merasa anda adalah orang yang paling malang sedunia, atau anda adalah orang yang paling hina sedunia, percayalah pasti ada orang yang menaruh simpati pada anda. Karena itu bangkitlah dan perbaiki diri! masih ada orang yang mendukung anda, masih ada orang yang menaruh simpati pada anda, masih ada orang yang memperhatikan anda, meskipun semua itu tidak berwujud ucapan ataupun perbuatan yang nyata. Tidak ada yang perlu dikhawatirkan, Allah ‘azza wa jalla masih bersama kita dan memberi kita seseorang yang menaruh simpati pada kita.

It’s just my humble opinion. You could have different opinion with me, how about you?
