Now It's Time for a Poem

I know my lifestyle is not glamorous
But at least I have done something prestigious
To find someone marvellous
Although I have to be cautious


I know I am not victorious
But at least I have been quite serious
To find someone gorgeous
Although it is somewhat ridiculous


I know I am not adventurous
But at least I have tried something dangerous
To find someone mysterious
Although I am somewhat nervous


I know I am a bit tedious
But at least I have tried something not monotonous
To find someone whose voice is sonorous
Although I have to be conscientious


I know I am not humorous
But at least I have tried something joyous
To find someone who look fabulous
Although I am a bit tendentious


I know I am not generous
But at least I have tried something enormous
To find someone who is precious
Although I am somewhat suspicious

Discourse vs Execution

It’s easy for us to come up with a brilliant idea, but most of us fail to execute the brilliant idea with which we have come up. It takes more than just a discourse to be able to succeed, as the discourse alone does not move the mountain, but our action will.

The time for disregard is over, and it is now the time for us to execute our plan in a consistent and professional manner. Don’t forget to always pray God as the owner of the whole universe as we come on board, because only in His hand will we able to materialize the blueprint we have initially set and designed. 

Punya ide-ide cemerlang adalah hal biasa, namun kebanyakan dari kita gagal pada tahap eksekusinya. Diperlukan lebih dari sekadar wacana untuk bisa menggapai sukses, karena wacana itu sendiri tidak akan mampu memindahkan gunung, tapi tindakan nyata kita akan mampu mewujudkan itu semua.

Masa ketidakacuhan sudah berakhir, kini saatnya bagi kita untuk mengeksekusi rencana-rencana yang sudah kita buat secara konsisten dan profesional. Saat mengejawantahkannya, jangan lupa untuk senantiasa berdoa kepada Tuhan sebagai pemilik alam jagad raya, karena hanya atas restuNya lah kita bisa mewujudkan cetak biru yang sudah kita tetapkan dan rancang sebelumnya.
