QUOTES ABOUT CHANGES

-------------------------
"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better".
Perubahan memiliki efek psikologis yang sangat besar kepada pikiran manusia. Untuk mereka yang takut akannya (takut akan perubahan), perubahan tersebut terasa menjadi ancaman karena dengan perubahan ada kemungkinan segala hal menjadi lebih buruk lagi. Tetapi bagi mereka yang berani dan percaya diri, adanya suatu perubahan justru menyenangkan dan memberi inspirasi karena di situ ada kesempatan untuk membuat segala sesuatu lebih baik lagi dari yang sekarang.
~ King Whitney Jr.  ~
-------------------------
The only thing constant is change.

Satu-satunya hal yang tidak pernah berubah sampai kapanpun adalah adanya perubahan.
~ The Old Paradox  ~
-------------------------

Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you've got.
Bila kita tidak berubah, maka kehidupan kita ya akan begini-begini saja.
~ Jim Rohn  ~
-------------------------

We can have more than we've got because we can become more than we are.
Kita bisa mendapat lebih dari yang sudah kita punya sekarang, karena setiap dari kita memiliki kemampuan untuk menjadi lebih dari diri kita yang sekarang.
~ Jim Rohn  ~
-------------------------

We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are.
Kita tidak akan bisa memenuhi potensi kita yang sebenarnya, bila kita memilih diam dan tetap tinggal di dalam zona nyaman kita.
~ Oprah Winfrey  ~
-------------------------
Be the change so the change can occur.

Jadilah perubahan, sehingga perubahan bisa terjadi.
~ Mahatma Gandhi  ~
-------------------------
Why change the world when we can change ourselves?

Kenapa repot-repot mengubah dunia bila kita bisa mengubah diri kita sendiri.
~ Mahatma Gandhi  ~
-------------------------

You are the only problem you will ever have and you are the only solution. Change is inevitable, personal growth is always a personal decision.
Satu-satunya sumber masalah sekaligus penyelesaiannya adalah diri kita sendiri. Perubahan itu tidak terelakkan, sehingga apakah kita menanggapinya dengan terus mengembangkan diri, itu pilihan yang kita harus ambil sendiri.
~ Bob Proctor  ~
-------------------------

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.
Apa yang terjadi pada kita itu di luar kendali kita. Tetapi kita bisa mengatur dan memilih sikap kita terhadap kejadian tersebut. Dan dengan melakukan itu, kita menjadi tuan dari perubahan dan bukan korbannya.
~ Brian Tracy  ~

-------------------------
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Kita harus menjadi perubahan yang kita inginkan terjadi di dunia.
~ Mahatma Gandhi  ~
-------------------------

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.
Kita harus memiliki tanggung jawab pribadi. Kita tidak bisa mengubah situasi atau kondisi, tidak bisa mengubah musim atau angin. Kita bahkan tidak bisa mengubah orang lain. Satu-satunya yang bisa kita ubah adalah diri kita sendiri karena ia ada di bawah kendali kita. Dan inilah yang disebut sebagai tanggung jawab pribadi.
~ Jim Rohn  ~
-------------------------

If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.
Dalam ilmu bertanam, jika kau ingin mengubah buahnya, modifikasi harus dimulai dari akarnya. Begitu juga dalam diri seseorang. Untuk bisa mengubah apa yang tampak dari luar, yaitu perilaku dan tindakan kita, kita pertama-tama harus mengubah apa yang ada di 'dalam' diri kita, yang tidak tampak, yaitu pola pikir dan cara pandang kita.
~  T. Harv Eker  ~

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
Kemajuan tidak mungkin terjadi tanpa adanya perubahan, dan mereka yang tidak bisa merubah cara berpikir atau isi pikiran mereka, tidak akan bisa mengubah apapun.
~  George Bernard Shaw  ~
-------------------------

I've never met a person, I don't care what his condition, in whom I could not see possibilities. I don't care how much a man may consider himself a failure, I believe in him, for he can change the thing that is wrong in his life anytime he is prepared and ready to do it. Whenever he develops the desire, he can take away from his life the thing that is defeating it. The capacity for reformation and change lies within.
Saya belum pernah bertemu seorang pun, tidak peduli bagaimana keadaan dia, yang saya lihat tidak memiliki kesempatan lagi. Tidak peduli betapa orang tersebut mengangggap dirinya seorang pecundang, saya masih memiliki keyakinan atas kemampuannya. Karena dia bisa mengubah apa yang salah dalam hidupnya kapanpun dia siap dan bersedia melakukannya. Bila dia mampu membentuk dalam dirinya satu keinginan yang kuat, dia bisa ganti mengalahkan apapun yang telah mengalahkannya dalam hidup ini.Kemampuan untuk mereformasi dan mengubah hidup datang dari dalam diri.
~  Preston Bradley  ~
-------------------------

Readjusting is a painful process, but most of us need it at one time or another.
Menyesuaikan diri dengan apapun yang baru seringkali merupakan proses yang menyakitkan, tetapi sebagian besar dari kita membutuhkan pengalaman tersebut, sekali sekali.
~  Arthur Christopher Benson  ~
-------------------------

The most significant change in a person's life is a change of attitude. Right attitudes produce right actions.
Perubahan paling penting yang harus terjadi dalam diri seseorang adalah perubahan dalam sikap atau cara berpikir, karena dengan sikap atau cara berpikir yang benar dia akan mengambil tindakan yang benar pula.
~  William J. Johnston  ~
-------------------------

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Ketika satu pintu kebahagiaan dalam hidup kita tertutup, sebenarnya pintu kebahagiaan yang lain terbuka; tetapi seringkali kita terus berlama-lama menatap dan meratapi pintu yang sudah tertutup tadi sehingga kita tidak bisa melihat pintu lain yang telah dibukakan untuk kita sebagai gantinya tersebut.
~  Helen Keller  ~
-------------------------
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Tuhan, beri aku keikhlasan untuk menerima apa yang tidak bisa kita rubah, keberanian untuk mengubah hal-hal yang bisa aku rubah, serta kebijaksanaan untuk mengetahui perbedaan antara keduanya.
~  Reinhold Niebuhr  ~
-------------------------

People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy after.
Orang jarang bisa meningkatkan kualitas diri mereka bila mereka tidak memiliki model lain untuk dicontoh selain diri mereka sendiri.
~  Oliver Goldsmith  ~
-------------------------

The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better.
Orang yang baik itu adalah orang yang, tidak peduli betapa buruknya dia selama ini, terus maju ke arah perbaikan diri dari hari ke hari.
~  John Dewey  ~

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.
