Be thankful for the people who have stood by you and cheered you on, but don't forget to be thankful for the ones that said it could not be done. Writing a book is no small task and even the skeptics can help you get where you want to be! ↗

Hidup itu seperti air mengalir saja. Tapi, kalau bisa mengalir yang deras. Batu pun kadang bisa menggelundung , kalah dengan air yang deras. Itu menangnya orang yang tidak punya cita-cita tinggi sejak awal. Hidupnya lebih fleksible. Karena tidak punya cita-cita, kalau dalam perjalanannya menghadapi batu besar, ia akan membelok. Tapi, kalau orang berpegang teguh pada cita-cita, bertemu batu pun akan ditabrak. Iya kalau batunya yang nggelundung, lha kalau kepalanya yang pecah gimana? ↗
