Life is measured by...

Di kantor lama, aku pernah di fw sebuah puisi yang baguusssss ajib ajib ama seorang teman. Gak tau deh tuh puisi di invent ama siapa (halah bahasa nya :d).. Nih puisi daleemmm banget ampe kelelep, bikin hidup ku lebih berwarna (halah lagi :p).. Yang jelas, aku sering banget fw tuh puisi ke teman yang lain..

Aselinya, aku bukan pecinta sejati puisi.. tapi yang pasti aku teramat sangat memuja kumpulan kata-kata yang bagus.. mm .. yah puisi emang kumpulan kata-kata yang bagus, tapi gak semua puisi sesuai dengan jiwa loe, gak semua sesuai dengan karakter loe, gak semua feel nya loe dapat kan?? .. Kalo membingungkan maksud dari kalimat diatas, pass aja dehh.. karna aku juga agak bingung dengan maksud jiwa dan karakter puisi :p

Ok, langsung aja baca puisi nya dan renungkan kedalaman bahasa nya.. Ini puisi terbagus yang pernah aku baca.. dan baca puisi ini kadang bikin aku menghargai semua yang aku punya..

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch

And swing with, never say a word

And then walk away feeling

Like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had

It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it

But it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they’ll love you back

Don’t expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their heart

But if it doesn’t, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone

An hour to like someone

And a day to love someone

But it takes a lifetime to forget someone….

Don’t go for looks, they can deceive

Don’t go for wealth, even that fades away

Go for someone who makes you smile

Because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright

Find the one that makes your heart smile

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet

Enough trials to make you strong

Enough sorrow to keep you human

Enough hope to make you happy…

Always put yourself in others shoes

If you feel that it hurts you

It probably hurts the other person too

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything

They just make the most of everything that comes along their way

Happiness lies for those who cry

Those who hurt, those who have searched

And those who have tried

For only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives

When you were born,

You were crying and everyone around you was smiling

Live your life so that when you die

You’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying…

Life is not measured by the breaths that you take…

But by the moments that take your breath away…
