Romanization
Yareru dake yarikitta ka nante jibun shika wakaranai
Dakara jibun ni usotsuku na jibun ni wa zuru suru na

Dareka to jibun o kuraberu yori mo
Onore o hokoreru hito ni naritai
Jibun o nagedasazu ikita kyou o
Hometsuzukerareru hibi o okurou

Kimi ni shika wakaranaku tatte raku na michi wa erabu na
Saigo ni mukuwareru no wa nigezu ni ita kimijishin da kara

Baka ni sareru koto wa atte mo baka ni dake wa shinai koto
Itsu no hi mo tsutsumashiku are kidakaku inochi moyase

Kekka bakari ni me o mukeru yori mo
Ayunda michinori o mitsumetetai
Jibun o akiramezu ikita hibi o
Kuinaku owaru inochi de aritai

Omoidoori ni naranai hi mo muda ni dake wa shinaide
Daiji na no wa kimi ga kimi o saigo ni mitometeyareru ka da

Yasunda tte ii sa mata mae o mukeru nara
Tashika na ippo o fumishimeteyukou kimi ga tsukamu no sa

Kimi ni shika wakaranaku tatte raku na michi wa erabu na
Saigo ni mukuwareru no wa nigezu ni ita kimijishin da kara

...so believe in yourself!


Translations
Only you know if you’ve given it your all,
So don’t lie to yourself; don’t cheat yourself!

Rather than comparing yourself to someone else,
Become someone you can be proud of.
You’ve managed to not give up on yourself up to today,
So spend the rest of your days praising that belief.

Even if you discover a path only you know about, don’t take the easy way out,
Cause you’ll be the one rewarded in the end for not running away.

Even if you’ve made fun of, you mustn’t look down on others.
Be humble every day of your life and let your noble life burn bright.

Rather than only paying attention to results,
I’d rather look back on the steps I took.
I haven’t given up on myself, day after day,
And I want to end this life with no regrets.

Some days may not go as you want, but don’t ever let them go to waste
The important thing is whether you can accept yourself in the end.

It’s okay to take a break, as long as you can look forward when you’re done.
Take a certain, intentional step and take hold of it!

Even if you discover a path only you know about, don’t take the easy way out,
Cause you’ll be the one rewarded in the end for not running away.

…so believe in yourself!

Lagi butuh semangat nih.. huft.. saat lagi nyiapin artikel ini, tiba-tiba ada email masuk dari penyelenggara beasiswa yang lagi gw apply. Di paragraf awal, gw seneng karena gw diterima di study programme-nya, tapi di paragraf kedua, huft.. pupus lagi harapan gw. Lagi-lagi gagal. Gw cukup berharap sama beasiswa ini, tapi di awal emang udah prepare gak diterima juga. Kenapa sih selalu gagal? :’(

Sebenernya kemaren ada tawaran beasiswa semacam diskon tuition fee gitu, sisanya harus bayar sendiri, belum ditambah biaya living cost. Lagipula masih ada keluarga yang harus di-support. Makanya gw gak ambil beasiswa itu. :’’(

Kemaren-kemaren sempat kepikiran untuk nyerah aja apply beasiswa dan nabung biar bisa kuliah sendiri, at least di ITB gitu. Tapi ternyata biaya pascasarjana ITB mahal banget plus admission-nya yang lebih rumit dari pada apply admission di kampus luar negeri. :’’’(

Makanya lagi sering denger lagu ini, karena at least bisa bikin gw lebih semangat. I need to believe myself more! And don’t give up! It’s okay to take a break, cause in the end I believe that i’ll be rewarded for not running away.
... so believe in yourself!


follow your dream, believe in yourself, don't give up

Spirit: You're a Harmonizer. Loyal and honest, you're generous with your time and know how to support your friends. You value one-on-one time with your inner circle and have a few close friends who you can truly rely on. Reliable and trustworthy, you seek harmony and balance in your life. You forge strong, long-lasting friendships, and your friends value your honesty and frank opinions. You tend to value routine and security. You know how to take the good with the bad. Your balanced attitude means life feels pretty good and you're comfortable in your own skin.   When it comes to improving things in your life, why would you say no to extra cash? It would be great to treat the family whenever you feel like it. The trick is to be disciplined about budgeting. If you...

Beberapa Hambatan Menuju Kebahagiaan

 Menunda Kebanyakan orang tidak berhasil di dunia ini karena selalu menunda-nunda apa yang seharusnya diselesaikan. tampaknya ada suatu suasana "nikmat" dalam penundaan ini, semakin sering menunda sesuatu, semakin terasa kurang bertanggung jawab. Setelah bertumpuk-tumpuk, barulah terasa berat dan kemudian mencari-cari dalih yang membenarkan dirinya. Malas Kemalasan bukanlah warisan. Seorang pemalas melihat pagi hari dengan berbaring di tempat tidur seraya memperhatikan berkas cahaya pagi yang menembus jendela, memperhatikan siang hari dengan keluh kesah bahwa matahari terlalu terik sehingga melelahkan badannya, menatap senja dengan mengatakan bahwa di sumur ada hantu gentayangan. orang yang tekun bekerja menyambut subuh dengan keriangan yang menyibukkan serta merasakan keramahan senja dengan kesibukan yang bermanfaat untuk masa depan. orang malas lebih banyak berlindung di balik selimut dari pada menikmati kehidupan yang sesungguhnya dari berbagai corak, menghindarkan diri...

Choices

Everyday I'm kinda stuck in this "choice" thing. It seems just a trivial matter. The choice is about which route should I take to go home? For me, it's not a trivial matter. Why? Let me tell you the background story. In some previous posts, I think I've told you that I have a new job in a consultant. The office located in Ampera Street. This is not a very well known street, so that I just tell everyone that asks that I work in Pejaten. The first route that I took to reach this place is via commuter line to Pasar Minggu Station and then ride the public transportation car no. 36 to Ampera Street. It feels so far from home. It takes 2 hours to go to the office and 2.5 - 3 hours to go back home!! It seriously drives me crazy!! Believes it or not, this route even makes my emotion unstable in the first month of working! Like I've spend too much time on the road! Finally several months later, actually when I got back after my training in Yogyakarta, my cowor...
