Hari-hari terakhir di sini merungkai kembali kisah tercipta Tentang perjuangan insan biasa Mencari diri dalam kehidupannya
Hari-hari terakhir di sini Cuba lagi untuk memahami Erti keindahan dalam kesusahan Tersenyum dalam kegundahan
Hari-hari terakhir di sini Erti hidup belum kufahami Masih banyak belum kulalui Demi menjadi insan sejati
Hari-hari terakhir di sini jiwaku diliputi awan begitu mendung Berat menanggung air mata kesabaran kini aku berasa sungguh tenang
Hari-hari terakhir di sini Senyuman cuba kuukir Pilu cuba kuhakis Namun monolog ini tidak terhenti di sini Kerana langkahku masih jauh dalam perjalanan hidup insani
Buku ini baharu sahaja saya beli. Walaupun penulisnya adalah bukan Islam tetapi saya lebih melihat kepada isi dan faedah yang dapat saya perolehi selagi mana ia tidak bercanggah dengan ajaran Islam. Saya lebih seronok mendapatkan motivasi dengan cara membaca dan menganalisis situasi daripada menghadiri atau mendengar program motivasi yang saya lihat lebih kepada program air mata yang dirangsang dengan kisah-kisah sedih. Hasilnya, perubahan itu hanyalah bersikap sementara. Motivasi itu harus datang dari diri sendiri kerana tiada siapa yang dapat memotivasikan diri kita melainkan diri sendiri. Saya suka memetik perkataan yang diolah oleh penulis dalam membicarakan soal kegagalan. Ia menyebabkan saya melihat kegagalan dari perspektif yang berbeza.
Failure doesn't mean you are a failure It does mean you haven't succeeded yet
Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing It does mean you have learned something
Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool It does mean you have a lot of faith
Failure doesn't mean you've been disgraced It does mean you were willing to try
Failure doesn't mean you don't have it It does mean you have to do something in a different way
Failure doesn't mean you are an inferior It does mean you are not perfect
Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life It does mean you have a reason to start afresh
Failure doesn't mean you should give up It does mean you must try harder
Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it It does mean it will take a little longer
Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you It does mean God has a better idea
Failure doesn't mean you're finished It does mean you have a chance to try something new
Do you ever feel like breaking down? Do you ever feel out of place? Like somehow you just don’t belong And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away? Do you lock yourself in your room? With the radio on turned up so loud That no one hears you screaming
No you don’t know what it’s like When nothing feels alright You don’t know what it’s like to be like me
To be hurt To feel lost To be left out in the dark To be kicked When you’re down To feel like you’ve been pushed around To be on the edge of breaking down And no one’s there to save you No you don’t know what it’s like
Welcome to my life
Do you wanna be somebody else? Are you sick of feeling so left out? Are you desperate to find something more Before your life is over?
Are you stuck inside a world you hate? Are you sick of everyone around? With the big fake smiles and stupid lies While deep inside you’re bleeding
No you don’t know what it’s like When nothing feels alright You don’t know what it’s like to be like me
No one ever lied straight to your face And no one ever stabbed you in the back You might think I’m happy But I’m not gonna be okay!
Everybody always gave you what you wanted You never had to work it was always there You don’t know what it’s like What it’s like!
Ini adalah lagu tema bagi program realiti TV yang meletup-letup kat Amerika " The Biggest Loser", dah sampai season 9 dah pun sekarang. Seronok tengok rancangan nie, dapat lihat keazaman dan kesusahan peserta dalam mencapai matlamat mereka, mereka mahukan perubahan tetapi tidak pernah berjaya kerana tiada keyakinan diri. Dalam lagu ini ada persoalan yang boleh kita tanya pada diri kita : "What have you done today to make you feel proud? ". Sama-sama kita jawab.
"Proud" by Heather Small
I look into the window of my mind Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind I step out of the ordinary I can feel my soul ascending I am on my way Can't stop me now And you can do the same
What have you done today to make you feel proud? It's never too late to try What have you done today to make you feel proud? You could be so many people If you make that break for freedom What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Still so many answers I don't know Realise that to question is how we grow So I step out of the ordinary I can feel my soul ascending I am on my way Can't stop me now And you can do the same
What have you done today to make you feel proud? It's never too late to try What have you done today to make you feel proud? You could be so many people If you make that break for freedom What have you done today to make you feel proud?
We need a change Do it today I can feel my spirit rising We need a change So do it today 'Cause I can see a clear horizon
What have you done today to make you feel proud? So what have you done today to make you feel proud? 'Cause you could be so many people If you make that break for freedom So what have you done today to make you feel proud? What have you done today to make you feel proud? What have you done today You could be so many people? Just make that break for freedom So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
