Semua orang sudah tahu kalau bunga mawar
adalah bunga cinta.
Katakan saja dengan bunga, bila anda menyatakannya
dengan serius.
(pasti banyak yg protes baca kalimat terakhir d atas.. :D )
Berikut makna dari warna - warnanya,
Warna Merah : Sedang tergila - gila pada cinta Mawar Merah adalah simbol paripurna cinta romantis dan gairah yang tak
lekang. Mawar merah juga mencerminkan respek dan spirit kreatif cinta.
Mewakili cinta sejati, Mawar Merah dikenal secara universal sebagai
Mawar Cinta. Warna bunga merah juga bisa diartikan sebagai cinta dengan rasa ‘respect’ yang tinggi
Warna Kuning : Cemburu, Perhatian dan |Persahabatan
Dulu mawar kuning melambangkan kecemburuan, kini Mawar
Kuning mencerminkan persahabatan, kegembiraan dan perhatian.
Warna Putih : Berdamai , Hormat atau Kagum
Mewakili kemanusiaan, kesucian dan tanpa dosa, Mawar Putih --sering
disebut sebagai bridal rose-- dikaitkan dengan cinta belia. Di
Skotlandia, ketika mawar putih mekar di musim semi, orang melihatnya
sebagai tanda pernikahan awal. Juga melambangkan kebenaran dan
pengabdian, Mawar Putih menyampaikan pesan penghambaan dan ucapan "Aku
milikmu". (Makanya banyak dipake di acara perkawinan kan.. ?? )
Warna Pink : Feminim, lembut
Melambangkan feminitas, kelembutan dan kehalusan, Mawar Pink juga
memiliki makna lain bergantung pada kekentalan warnanya. Pink tua
mengungkapkan rasa terima kasih dan penghargaan, pink muda mengungkapkan
kehalusan dan kelembutan, kekaguman dan kegembiraan. Warna pink juga bisa diartikan terima kasih dan rasa syukur yang mendalam.
Warna Orange : Kehangatan dan ketertarikan

dan antusiasme. Jika Anda mencari cara untuk mengungkapkan kekaguman dan
ketertarikan dengan pesan di baliknya, gairah dan ketertarikan, kirim
saja buket berisi mawar orange mekar.
Warna Ungu : Menggoda Dianggap memiliki sifat mistis, dengan simbolisme kecantikan yang
menggoda dan gairah, tidak mengherankan mawar Ungu dapat menyiratkan
pesan cinta pada pandangan pertama. Mawar yang sangat bagus untuk
Valentine.
Warna Hitam : kebencian Rasa benci itu manusiawi…
Cara ngungkapinnya pun berbeda-beda, ada yang diungkapkan langsung, ada
juga yang hanya dipendem sendiri. Nah, daripada capek hati, rasa benci
itu juga bisa diungkapkan dengan mengirim bunga warna hitam. Biasanya
mawar hitam dihubung-hubungkan dengan fitur cerita fiksi seperti
"black magic", "barkarole", "black beauty" dan "baccara.
Warna hijau: kehidupan baru
Makna yang paling umum dari mawar hijau adalah kesuburan dan kehidupan
baru. Sering diberikan setelah promosi atau memperoleh pekerjaan baru.
Hijau ada hubungannya dengan alam dan kesehatan. Hijau adalah optimis; hijau adalah hidup; hijau menyegarkan.
Sedangkan jumlah kuntumnya, tidak boleh sembarangan.

1. Satu - satunya
2. Dunia untuk berdua

5. Tanpa sesal
6. Sesuai kemauan

It's only myth.. boleh percaya boleh ga.. :p ======================================================================= Sekarang jenis mawarnya.. Setau gw, gw baru tau ada 2 jenis bunga mawar (walaupun jenisnya banyakk banget..) Yang gw tau cuma mawar holland dan ecuador.. (2 2 nya import) Kali ini gw bahas yg ecuador aja, soalnya lebih unik.. Ecuador itu ada gradasi warnanya lohh..
Mawar Ecuador, Pilihan Dekorasi Romantis
Bunga Mawar Ecuador datang dalam berbagai macam warna-warna alami
yang mengagumkan. Ecuador adalah Negara di Amerika Selatan yang
merupakan salah satu lokasi terbaik di dunia untuk tumbuhnya bunga yang
indah dan cantik. Ecuador terletak di daerah katulistiwa sehingga sinar
matahari selalu ada sepanjang tahun. Ditambah dengan daerah lereng
pegunungan andes menyimpan dataran tinggi dan dingin sangat cocok untuk
membangun perkebunan bunga-bunga cantik. Angin
dingin dari salju menutupi Pegunungan Cayambe, cuaca relatif kering,
dan sinar matahari langsung, membuat mawar dari Tabacundo mencapai mekar
yang sangat besar, warna kuat, panjang batang dan daun sehat mengkilap.
Pernikahan
Anda seharusnya menjadi salah satu yang terbaik dan saat-saat paling
bahagia dalam hidup Anda. Oleh karena itu, semua harus berjalan sempurna
ke setiap detail terakhir, tidak terkecuali bunga-bunga cantik yang
mempesona. Mawar Ekuador adalah bunga berkualitas tertinggi yang
tersedia, hanya datang dari Ekuador, dan membuat suasana yang bagus
penuh romantika untuk buket pernikahan Anda.
Keanggunan setiap
momen yang anda lewati dalam pesta pernikahan yang mewah dan agung akan
tercipta dengan jelas ketika bunga-bunga mawar indah dari ekuador ini
mendampingi anda dan pasangan serta keluarga besar. Jadikan bunga ini
dekorasi yang tak ternilai harganya dalam pernikahan anda.
Dikarenakan
mawar Ekuador terhitung "lumayan" harganya, maka anda bisa
mensiasatinya dengan menambahkan mawar lokal yang didesain sedemikian
rupa sehingga si mawar Ekuador tetap terlihat anggun. Carilah kualitas
mawar lokal yang sedikit setara dengan mawar ekuador. Jika ingin
seluruhnya mawar Ekuador, pasang pada pelaminan, buket dan artistik di
gedung-gedung dengan tambahan hiasan yang berbeda seperti ranting atau
daun-daun kecil. =======================================================================
So..
Have u given someone a rose?
hmm.. not yet.. but i will.. :)
What kind of rose do u wanna give?
At first time i think that i wanna give her blue rose.. but after think twice.. maybe red.. dunno..
Blue rose? What is that?
Untuk Bunga Mawar Biru ini, gw belum tahu apakah benar ada atau hanya permainan lampu saja. Namun yang pasti warna biru melambangkan perasaan yang tenang bila kita berada di dekatnya. Biru juga melambangkan kedewasaan.
Last but not least..
What about the price?
Ahahaha.. Masih terjangkau lah klo belinya ga 1 bucket. Google saja, harganya emang bervarian sih.. But.. remember one thing..
Niat dan ketulusan makna yang terkandung di dalamnya serta timingnya jauh lebih penting daripada hal lainnya
Suami: "Terima kasih kepada semua kerabat dan handai taulan yang
sudah meyempatkan waktunya untuk hadir di rumah kami, dalam acara ulang
tahun istri kami... (hening) eh, istri saya..."

switchfoot - awakening
Face down with the L.A. curbside endings In ones and zeros Downtown was the perfect place to hide
The first star that I saw last night Was a headlight of a man-made sky But man-made never made our dreams collide, collide
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain We're awakening Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition You've been talking in your sleep about a dream We're awakening
Last week saw me living for nothing but deadlines With my dead beat sky But this town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere And all my life I don't know That I've ever felt so alive, alive
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition You've been talking in your sleep about a dream We're awakening
I wanna wake up kicking and screaming I wanna wake up kicking and screaming I wanna know that my heart's still beating It's beating, I'm bleeding
I wanna wake up kicking and screaming I wanna live like I know what I'm leaving I wanna know that my heart's still beating It's beating, it's beating, it's beating, I'm bleeding
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain We're awakening Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition But you've been talk, talking in your sleep about a dream We're awakening Dream, we're awakening
switchfoot - 24
Twenty four oceans
Twenty four skies
Twenty four failures
Twenty four tries
Twenty four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
Twenty four drop outs
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And I'm not who I thought I was twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
Twenty four reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses still twenty four strong
See I'm not copping out not copping out not copping out
When You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising these twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts
But I want to be one today
Centered and true
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising the dead in me
I want to see miracles, see the world change
Wrestled the angel, for more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And You're raising the dead in me
Twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts.
I'm not copping out. Not copping out. Not copping out.
My 3rd best song from mylo xyloto..
charlie brown..
official video:
and here's the best live performance charlie brown..
nice perfomance btw..
here's the lyrics:
I stole a key,
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet,
I took a car downtown and took what they offered me.
To set me free,
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene,
I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me.
My scarecrow dreams,
When they smashed my heart into smithereens,
I be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete.
Be the cartoon heart,
Light a fire, light a spark,
Light a fire, a flame in my heart.
We'll run wild,
We'll be glowing in the dark.
All the boys, all the girls,
All the mess in the world
All the boys, all the girls,
All the mess that occurs.
All the high's, all the low's,
All the mess that goes
We'll run wild,
We'll start glowing-in-the-dark.
So we'll run wild,
We'll be glowing in the dark.

lyrics:
It's like you're screaming, and no one can hear
You almost feel ashamed
That someone could be that important
That without them, you feel like nothing
No one will ever understand how much it hurts
You feel hopeless; like nothing can save you
And when it's over, and it's gone
You almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back
So that you could have the good
Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Shine a light through an open door
Love a life I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

lyrics:
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember,
The people we used to be...
It's even harder to picture,
That you're not here next to me.
You say it's too late to make it,
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
I would still be holding you like this [Video:] All those fairy tales are full of shit [Album:] All those fairy tales are full of it. [Video:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick. [Album:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Oh, you turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday.
I gave you my love to borrow,
But you just gave it away.
You can't expect me to be fine,
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before,
But all of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
I would still be holding you like this [Video:] All those fairy tales are full of shit [Album:] All those fairy tales are full of it. [Video:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick. [Album:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone
[Clean radio version verse:]
Yeah, Yeah, Now baby don't hang up,
So I can tell you what you need to know,
Baby I'm begging you just please don't go,
So I can tell you what you need to know
[Explicit version verse (Wiz Khalifa):]
Man, fuck that shit
I'll be out spending all this money
While you're sitting round wondering
Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing,
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I'm stunning,
And all of my cars start with a push of a button
Telling me the chances I blew up
Or whatever you call it,
Switch the number to my phone
So you never could call it,
Don't need my name on my shirt,
You can tell it I'm ballin.
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could have saw but sad to say it's over for.
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now it's me who they want, so you can go and take
That little piece of shit with you.
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
I would still be holding you like this [Video:] All those fairy tales are full of shit [Album:] All those fairy tales are full of it. [Video:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick. [Album:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone...
the real video's scenario seems a little bit complicated..
do u know the meaning?
She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart,
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mad situation,
Only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard,
She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time,
I've got a new job now on the unemployment line,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mess
Is it god's test?
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best,
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
[x3]
Oooooo
She's in line at the DOLE*
With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job but
Didn't lose my pride
But we both know how,
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts,
When you pick yourself up,
You get kicked to the dirt,
Trying to make it work but,
Man these times are hard,
But we're gonna start by,
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't for a while,
A while yeah,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.
Ooooo [x3]
Yeah.....
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting, for the first time
ooooo...., yeah for the first time
(ooooo....), oh for the first time,
Yeah for the first time,
(just now got the feeling that we're meeting...
For the first time)
[x4]
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
I've been kicked right down
I've been spat in the face
I've been pulled, weighed down
To the lowest place
I've been lied to, shamed
I have been disgraced
Been ex-communicated from every holy place
I've been beat up and robbed
I've been left for dead
For the way I look
For the things I said
When trouble thinks it's found us
The world falls down around us
I promise baby you won't ever
You won't ever feel a thing
[Chorus:]
Cause I will take it on the chin
Eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing
Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow for you.
For you.
I've been cleared on the street
I've been left in the cold
Had my dreams held up
Had them shot full of holes
I've been laughed at, burnt, beat and butt of the joke
I've been lit up in flames
I have gone down in smoke
I've been stabbed in the back
While they promised the earth
Tried to keep my head high
For all I am worth
Aside I'm double blazing
I know when war is raging
I promise baby you won't ever
You won't ever feel a thing[Chorus]
Yeah.
And if I fall here
At least you know my dear that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing
And if I fall here
At least you know my dear that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing [Chorus]
Yeah everything the world could throw
I'll take the sticks, I'll take the stones for you
For you
two thumbs up..
i wish i could play guitar like that.. o_O
Dragonball..
It's my favourite film when i was a child..
My favourite character is Gohan (Songoku's son)
Well, anyway.. Yesterday, i randomly searching dragonball on youtube and found some videos about it.. Dragonball Z - Saiyan Saga , Dragonball Z battle of saiyans, Dragonball reborn and Dragonball 2013
1. Dragonball Z Saiyan Saga
===========================================================================

We are two brothers who run a small video
production company in the UK. We've been Producing, Directing, Shooting

about doing a Dragonball Z Fan Film. We grew up watching DBZ and it
provided many years of entertainment and enjoyment for us as we're sure
it did for many of you. We, like every other DBZ fan, were sorely
disappointed with Hollywood's attempt and producing a live action DBZ
film. So this May we are set to shoot an extended Live action Fan
trailer for the Saiyan Saga!
The trailer will be 4-5 minutes long
packed full of the greatest moments and favourite characters from the
Saiyan Saga. We have an absolutely amazing cast on board who you can see
on the website:
www.kandkproductions.co.uk/dbz
This will
be a professionally produced fan trailer made for the fans by the fans.
We have professional make-up artistes and costume designers who will
provide feature film quality costumes and prosthetics for all the
characters that will really bring DBZ's iconic characters to life in a
real and gritty way.

Dragonball z - the battle of the saiyans teaser trailer 2012: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=KHgI6UIPWLU&NR=1
(but what a pity because i can't saw it with someone who had already made a promise to see the film together.. ;( )
Anyway...
Got something interesting when i opened kaskus..
Here's the article
======================================================================== “Kau tidak takut mati. Kau pikir itu membuatmu kuat. Justru itu
membuatmu lemah. Karena dorongan kekuatan sebenarnya adalah ketakutan
akan kematian.”
Hal itu disampaikan Bane kepada Bruce Wayne di sebuah penjara bawah
tanah dengan hanya satu pintu keluar, lubang besar di atap penjara.
Dalam sejarahnya hanya ada satu yang berhasil keluar dari penjara
tersebut dengan memanjat dan meloncati sebuah undakan untuk sampai ke
puncak tanpa tali pengaman, seorang gadis kecil.
Resepnya hanya satu, kata seorang tahanan, sang gadis tidak takut mati.
Maka Wayne berhasil keluar lubang tanpa sebuah tali pengaman, dan
memanjat tanpa rasa takut. Pelajaran yang bisa diambil, jangan takut
akan sesuatu bernama risiko. Mungkin ketika memulai sebuah usaha baru,
wajar jika pengusaha memasang banyak pengaman agar usahanya survive.
Memang usaha akan mencapai target yang diinginkan, namun itu didapat
dengan memakan waktu. Coba lepaskan kendali Anda, dan coba sekali-sekali
sesuatu yang berisiko besar, namun akan mempercepat Anda meraih target.
“Dan kenapa kita jatuh, Bruce? Agar kita bisa belajar untuk bangkit.”
Kata-kata ayah Bruce Wayne, Thomas Wayne, kepada Bruce kecil menjadi
salah satu dialog terbaik dari trilogi Batman versi Christopher Nolan.
Kata-kata itu pula yang menjadi inspirasi Bruce wayne sebagai Batman
untuk melawan kriminal macam Joker dan Bane di dua film lanjutannya.
Kalimat itu juga amat berlaku di dunia nyata.
Seseorang yang sukses di dunia tidak terlepas dari kata gagal. Bagi
mereka, gagal adalah hal biasa. Gagal adalah sesuatu yang harus dimakan
bulat-bulat. Dari sebuah kegagalan, kita akan belajar bagaimana untuk
tidak mengulangi kesalahan dan berbuat sesuatu yang lebih serta meraih
sukses di kemudian hari.
Bruce Wayne: What have I done, Alfred? Everything my family... my father built... Alfred Pennyworth: The Wayne legacy is more than bricks and mortar, sir. Bruce Wayne: I wanted to save Gotham, I failed Alfred Pennyworth: Why do we fall sir? So we might learn to pick ourselves up Bruce Wayne: You still haven't given up on me? Alfred Pennyworth: Never

(it's damn true..)
(it's so damn true..)
(it's so sooooo damn true..)
PS: I don't know if it's real or not.. (the facebook, twitter, etc) but it's funny enough to make me laugh.. :))
There's something that i want to share to all my blog readers.. About poor - born and die - mistake.. I have known this quote long ago (honestly, i don't know if this is originally his quote or not..)
- if you born poor it's not your mistake, but if you die poor it's your mistake-
Lemme give you another inspiration about the story... (#indonesian language on)
Dalam suatu penelitian yang dilakukan oleh para profesor di USA, ada 2
ekor monyet yang dimasukkan ke dalam satu ruangan kosong secara
bersama-sama. Kita sebut saja monyet tersebut Monyet A dan B. Di dalam ruangan
tersebut terdapat sebuah tiang, dan diatas tiang tersebut nampak
beberapa pisang yang sudah matang. Apa yang akan dilakukan oleh 2 monyet
tersebut menurut anda?
Setelah membiasakan diri dengan keadaan lingkungan di dalam ruangan
tersebut, mereka mulai mencoba meraih pisang-pisang tersebut. Monyet A yang mula-mula mencoba mendaki tiang. Begitu monyet A berada
di tengah tiang, sang profesor menyemprotkan air kepadanya, sehingga
terpleset dan jatuh. Monyet A mencoba lagi, dan disemprot, jatuh lagi,
demikian berkali-kali sampai akhirnya monyet A menyerah.
Giliran berikutnya monyet B yang mencoba, mengalami kejadian serupa,
dan akhirnya menyerah pula. Berikutnya ke dalam ruangan dimasukkan
monyet C. Yang menarik adalah,para profesor tidak akan lagi menyemprot
para monyet jika mereka naik.Begitu si monyet C mulai menyentuh tiang,
dia langsung ditarik oleh monyet A dan B. Mereka berusaha mencegah,
agar monyet C tidak mengalami`kesialan’ seperti mereka. Karena dicegah
terus dan diberi nasehat tentang bahayanya bila mencoba memanjat
keatas, monyet C akhirnya takut juga dan tidak pernah memanjat lagi.
Langkah selanjutnya yang dilakukan oleh para profesor
adalahmengeluarkan monyet A dan B, serta memasukkan monyet D dan E.
Sama seperti monyet-monyet sebelumnya, monyet D dan E juga tertarik
dengan pisang diatas tiang dan mencoba memanjatnya. Monyet C secara
spontan langsung mencegah keduanya agar tidak naik.
“Hai, mengapa kami tidak boleh naik ?” protes keduanya”.
Ada teman-teman yang memberitahu saya,bahwa naik ke atas itu berbahaya.
Saya juga tidak tahu, ada apa di atas,tapi lebih baik cari aman saja,
jangan keatas deh” jelas monyet C.
Monyet D percaya dan tidak berani naik, tapi tidak demikian dengan monyet E yang memang bandel.
“Saya ingin tahu, bahaya seperti apa sih,yang ada di atas ….. Dan kalau
ada bahaya, masak iya saya tidak bisa menghindarinya ?” tegas monyet E.
Walaupun sudah dicegah oleh monyet Cdan D, monyet E nekad naik …….
Dan karena memang sudah tidak disemprot lagi, monyet E bisa meraih pisang yang dinginkannya… ..
Manakah diantara karakter diatas yang menggambarkan tingkah laku anda
saat ini? Dari ilustrasi tersebut diatas dapat dikatakan bahwa Karakter A
dan B adalah orang yang pernah melakukan sesuatu, dan gagal. Karena
itu mereka kapok, tidak akan mengulanginya lagi, dan berusaha
mengajarkan ke oranglain tentang kegagalan tersebut. Mereka tidak ingin
orang lain juga gagal seperti mereka.
Karakter C dan D, adalah orang yang menerima petunjuk dari orang
lain, hal-hal apa yang tidak boleh dilakukan, dan mereka mematuhinya
tanpa berani mencobanya sendiri.
Karakter E adalah type orang yang tidak mudah percaya dengan sesuatu,
sebelum mereka mencobanya sendiri. Mereka juga berani menentang arus
dan menanggung resiko asalkan bisa mencapai keinginan mereka. Pisang dalam cerita diatas menggambarkan impian kita. Setiap orang
dalam hidup ini mempunyai impian yang tinggi tentang masa depannya.
Namun sayangnya, banyak sekalihal-hal yang terjadi di sekitar kita,
yang menyebabkan impian kita terkubur.
Orang-orang dengan karakter A,B,C,D akan mengatakan kepada kita hal-hal
seperti ini”,Sudahlah, jangan melakukan pekerjaan yangsia-sia seperti
itu. Percuma. Saya dulu sudah pernah melakukannya berkali-kali dan
gagal. Sebagai seorang teman yang baik, saya tidak mau kamu gagal
seperti saya” atau mungkin kalimat “Kamu mau gagal kayak si X… lebih
baik lakukan sesuatu yang pasti-pasti saja deh”. Bukankah hal-hal
seperti itu yang sering kita dengar sehari-hari?
Nah, ada satu ilustrasi lagi. Apa yang akan anda lakukan, bila suatu
hari (misalnya) ada seorang mahasiswa bercelana jeans, kacamata
tebal,bertampang culun, bajunya lusuh, datang menemui anda dan berkata
“Saya punya suatu produk yang bagus, tapi saya tidak punya modal. Mau
gak pinjamin saya modal 100 dollar? Kalau produk ini sukses, kita berdua
bakal jadi orang paling kaya di dunia lho”. Hampir semua akan menghina dan mentertawakan mahasiswa tsb, bahkan
mungkin menganggapnya gila. Berapa orang yang akan menjawab “Wow, bagus
