Motivational Speech by Steven Jobs

Mature minds only.

I read an interesting article similar to this by by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, this is a part of it:

"My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much."

Di sebalik tawa, tersembunyi hati yg menangis...

Assalamualaikum Hny,

Kita tak tau kalau hny ada terbaca blog kita ni. Tapi, kt ttp luahkan juga di sini, walaupun kemungkinan tuk hny baca kecil.

Terima kasih hny tuk segala2 yg hny telah lakukan tuk kt. Semoga Allah membalas budi jasa ayang. Tak pernah kita jumpa org macam ayang. Seribu dlm satu, there's something yg kt nmpk ada pada hny, yg mmg tak ada pada org lain...special,anugerah Ilahi. Ayang dah banyak ubah kita, ayg tunjuk kita benda yg selama ni tak pernah kt nampak. Semenjak bertemu di MSN Damaikita, hilang rasa sunyi hidup kita. Mula2 mmg tak berniat pun nak bersama, sbb waktu tu hny noobie baru nak kenal alam chat..kita yg ajar hny semua. Dari situ hubungan kita makin rapat, tp masing2 malu lg nak luahkan perasaan....

Sehari tak dpt msg hny, kt mesti rasa gelisah. kt tak pernah keluar dgn hny, kalau ada pun dlm bertahun2 kta kenal, cuma 2-3 kali jer. Tapi takpe, lebih bagus begitu, sbb hny kt takut terjebak ke arah kemaksiatan.Kita ngaku hny lawa, cantik, and kita gak mengaku kita bukan la baik sangat, layan gak citer blue, jgn ckap la dlm kepala ni mmg ada niat kotor.Tapi niat hanyalah niat, sayang kt pada hny hanya Allah yg tahu. Atas sebab sayangkan hny, kt kisah ttg masa dpn hny dan kita, kt tahan, kt pendam,kt buang niat jahat tu jauh2, kt jaga hny betul2. Dah lama kt luahkan nak dptkan hny dgn cara yg halal.Hny plak gelak2 jer, kata kita bergurau.....walhal i've been serious shit bout this thing....mybe sbb kt student lg, hny ingat kata2 kita cuma sekadar gurauan jer...well, we'll see later......

Itu dulu, sekarang semua nya rasa lain. Hny pergi begitu saja, without words, without nothing. Di kala diri ini baru shj berjaya menyempurnakan tugasan sebagai pelajar. Itu pun kt sendiri dpt tahu, u're going out with someone else.....and what i'm really pissed off u betrayed me. Ayang siakan2 usaha kt menjaga ayang...ayang tau tak betapa sebak hati kt bila dpt tau perkara tu? that time kt terfikirkn arwah ayah ayang, mak ayang yg tak sihat tu.....i'm really frustrated, naik gila,hnya solat yg dpt tenangkan hati kita. Smp hati ayang biarkan dia lakukan perkara tu pada ayang,don't u ever think of your family? takpun kita? Kita menangis malam tu, sakitnya hanya Allah yg tahu...

Sekarang dah hampir sebulan kita berpisah. kita pun dah boleh nak terima, tp jauh di sudut kecil hati ini, kt masih mengharap ayg dapat kembali ke pangkuan kita. Bulan puasa tahun ni lah bagi kt dugaan yg paling kuat sekali.Tahun ni mood raya kita pun dah hilang, tmbh2 lg 2,3 ari lg nak beraya, kt tak dpt fikir hal lain, i've lost my sun. my shining sun,hilang.Arini kt moody,kita sound akak ofismate kt just because dia bukak lagu raya kuat2....maafkan diri ni kak zibah, kt tak sengaja.......

Hny, i'll be here for you. There is still time, bukakan mata hati, dan bukakan minda, lihat betul2 masa depanmu, sbb kita tak mahu hny sengsara di masa akan dtg.....sbb hny bukan org lain lg dalam hidup kt,hny adalah sebahagian hidup kt, keluarga kita....apapun kita ttp akan doakan kebahagiaan hny.....

Take care hny,

For the One I Loved Most

Juga ditujukan buat bro aku Jakk,dan saper2 la yg jiwa lebih kurang cam dia.....


Gackt -Saikai Story


kasuka na hikari ni yobi samasarete
hakanai yume no kioku to kiesou na koe
A faint light calls me awake
The memory of a transient dream and a vanishing voice

toozakaru kako no zawameki wa
ima de wa mienai ano keshiki o utsushidashite yuku
Projecting that scene of the commotion
Of a receding past that's now lost

soba de warau... kimi ga iru
Nearby smiling... You are here

sou... marude kinoo no koto no you ni oboeteiru yo
dare yori mo fukaku boku ni fureta sono manazashi o
Yes... I completely remember it as if it were yesterday
That look that touched me more deeply than anyone else

wakachiau koto no yorokobi mo
kiseki no you na ano deai mo...
futari no omokage sae mo okizari ni shite kieteyuku
And the pleasure of shared things
And that encounter that was like a miracle...
And only our image is deserted and disappearing

usureteyuku kioku no naka de
mou ichido dake dakishimetakute
setsunai kurai sakebitsuzukeru kimi no na o
koe ga nakunaru made
Inside of the fading memory
I want to hold you just one more time
Nearly painfully, I continue to shout your name
Until my voice is lost

utsumuite furueru kimi o
kono ude de dakishimetakute
kono sekai no dare yori mo kimi o
mamoritai to kizuita kara
You're hanging your head and trembling
I want to hold you in my arms
Because more than anyone else in this world
I realized I wanted to protect you

mou sukoshi de boku wa kieru kedo...
soredemo kimi dake wa hanashitaku wa nai
setsunai kurai kimi ni tsutsumareta ano hibi o
boku wa wasurenai
In a little while longer I'll disappear but...
Still I never want to let you go
Nearly painfully, I won't forget the days
That I enveloped you














Aku dan September

Hari ni, dlm thn ni datang lagi......aku paling benci bila tiba hari macam ni.Setiap tahun pasti akan jadi macam ni. Aku jd tak keruan, sgala aper yg aku wat serba tak kene,aku jd emo sesangat, kadang2 sedih tanpa sebab, ketawa tnpa sebab...giler ker haper ngan aku nih kannn? aku bingungg...bingungg...kadang2 aku rasa mati lebih baik, lebih seronok, tak payah aku nak amik kisah pasal dunia ni lagi...aku bencikan dunia ni, aku benci manusia, aku benci semua benda..aku bencikan diri aku juga....hari2 aku terbayangkan mati....aku takutkan mati,entah amal aku cukup ke tidak,tapi pada masa yg sama aku terima,aku alu2kan kalau aku mati....bukan ada org peduli pun. Dia dah ada org lain, masakan dia nak layan aku lagi. Apa aku wat dah tak dpt nak ubah hati dia lagi.....

Hari yang paling aku takut,saat bila aku kembali semula ke dunia kegelapan. Dunia yg kosong,hambar,sunyi...aku tak mahu begitu!!! dah puas aku hidup di dunia yg gelap tu,dah puas aku menjadi patung, menjadi alat.Dipanggil bila diperlukan, dicampak bila tak guna....aku benci,geram,marah, sakit, dan lain2...tak ada tempat aku nak mengadu?

Sesungguhnya aku bersyukur, aku dilahirkan Islam,aku bertuhan,Tuhanku ialah Allah. Ya Allah, ampunilah dosa hambaMu yg hina ini, aku tak layak menerima kasihMu Ya Allah setelah apa yg telah kulakukan padaMu, aku degil, aku takbur, aku riak....aku tahu dosa2 ku padaMu Ya Allah,tp aku tetap buat....aku tak bersyukur....sesungguhnya aku berasa kesal atas tindakanku yg lalu...aku insaf Ya Allah!!!

Ya Allah, apakah ujian yg Kau berikan pada hambaMu ini...terasa berat sungguh utk diriku menahan ini,bala demi bala menimpa,hampir gila diriku ini.....Ya Allah, Ya Fatah, bantulah diri hambaMu yg lemah ini, wahai Zat yg Maha Membuka, Maha Mengurai....bantulah hambaMu menghadapi ujianMu ini...

Aku rasa sayu, tak ada teman mengadu....padaMu aku berharap,padaMu aku meluahkan segala2nya....sesungguhnya Kau mmg Maha Penyayangg lg Maha Pengasihani....

Ya Allah,ampunkanlah dosaku, ampunkan dosa kedua ibubapaku, dan kasihanilah mereka seperti mereka mengasihaniku sewaktu kecil...Amin.......

Dearest Love

Overflowing in your faintly colored laugh
dearest love These thoughts I was drawing came to a stop

dearest love Led by the wind in this times I hold close
I was gazing at you... is all of this an illusion?

It all came crumbling down a bit too quickly but not a thing has changed
Buried only by our disagreements the path before my eyes was blocked

ah why does my heart stop beating when it's so painful?

ah why do I keep leaving you when I believe in you?

Please don't think about the coming of the end, because we got past it
dearest love everything'll burn way up in the sky

I don't understand anything anymore... why must I keep being hurt when I'm hurt to the point of grief?
I want to see your smile, this love I wrapped up will turn to ash

ah why does my heart break so much when it loves so much?
...only that dazzling season is wavering anymore
