You Don't Have to be


Saya teringat zaman SMA pernah mendapat motivasi dari seseorang dengan cara yang tidak biasa. waktu itu saya merasa sangat takut ketika mengemban amanah baru yang benar-benar tidak saya sangka. Di tengah kebingungan dan ketidakpahaman, saya mencoba memantapkan langkah dan mengambil resikl dari sebuah keputusan untuk maju. Motivasi berupa surat dari kakak kelas saya berisi kata-kata yang simpel saja, mengenai keputusan dan kemuan untuk belajar. Kemudian ia mengutip salah satu lirik lagu Green Day di bawah ini.

 Menurut saya liriknya meaningful banget. Setelah itu saya simpan rapat-rapat kertasnya (meski kertas bekas tapi punya nilai momentum yang berdampak luar biasa). Kalau penasaran, coba hayati sendiri liriknya.

GREEN DAY LYRICS

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.
