KEMAMPUAN YANG TERHAMBAT
Pelatih kutu telah mengamati kebiasaan yang dilakuan oleh kutu-kutu yang dilatihnya. Ketika kutu itu pertama kali dimasukkan ke dalam sebuah buli-buli, pelatih itu mencermati kutu-kutu itu melompat keluar dari buli-buli, karena memang kutu-kutu itu mahir melompat.
Pelatih itu mulai memasang penutup yang dipasang di atas buli-buli tersebut. Kutu-kutu itu terus berlompatan, tetapi sekarang kepala mereka terus membentur penutup buli-buli itu. Pelatih itu terus mengamati mereka melompat dan menghantam penutup buli-buli itu, dan setelah beberapa lama rupanya kutu-kutu itu meneruskan lompatan mereka tetapi tidak lagi melompat setinggi penutup buli-buli.
Pelatih itu kemudian menanggalkan penutup dari buli-buli. Kutu-kutu itu terus melompat, tetapi mereka tidak akan melompat keluar dari buli-buli. Sebenarnya mereka tidak lagi melompat keluar karena mereka telah mengatur diri mereka untuk melompat hanya setinggu itu. Dan sekali mereka membiasakan diri untuk melompat hanya setinggi itu, itulah yang dapat mereka lakukan.
Seringkali manusia juga bertindak seperti kutu-kutu tersebut. Tuhan memberikan potenti yang luar biasa bagi setiap kehidupan kita, tetapi seringkali kita tidak mencapai potensi yang maksimal. Hal ini bisa dikarenakan kita menyerah akan tantangan yang kita hadapi. Atau mungkin juga oleh pikiran kita yang membatasi kemampuan kita. Biarlah kita terus menyadari akan kemampuan kita yang sepenuhnya dan juga kuasa Tuhan yang sanggup membantu kita untuk segala potensi yang Tuhan sudah limpahkan bagi kehidupan kita.
"Bagi Dialah, yang dapat melakukan jauh lebih banyak daripada yang kita doakan atau pikirkan, seperti yang ternyata dari kuasa yang bekerja di dalam kita" (Efesus 3:20)

THEY CALLED IT LUCK
He worked by day
and toiled by night
He gave up play
and much delight
Dry books he read
new things to learn
And forged ahead
success to earn
He plodded on
with faith and pluck
And when he won
They call it luck
(Author Unknown)

THE DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY
- Opportunities and motivation are connected
Motivated see opportunities, and opportunities are often what motivate people
- Great attitudes precede great opportunities
Who you are determines what you see
- Today is the best day for an opportunity
Opportunity always takes "now" for an answer
- Opportunities are the result of pluck, not luck
The people who succeed seek out opportunities, and if they can't find them, they create them
- Opportunities don't present themselves in ideal circumstances
If you wait for all the lights to turn green, you will never leave your driveway
- Opportunities without commitment will be lost
Abandoned opportunities are never lost - they are simply pursued by the competition
- Opportunities is birthed out of problems
If you are looking for a big opportunities, find a big problem
- Opportunities either multiply or disappear
The more opportunities you pursue, the more you find behind them
- Opportunities must be nourished if they are to survive
As Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, says, "Feed an opportunity; starve a problem"

SUCCESS THE DISNEY WAY
- Think "tomorrow"
Make today's efforts pay off tomorrow
- Free the imagination
You are capable of more than imagine - so imagine the ultimate
- Strive for lasting quality
"Good enough" never is
- Have "stick-to-it-ivity"
Never, never, never give up
- Have fun
you are never truly a success until you enjoy what you are doing

ALL YOU CAN
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can,
(John Wesley)

IT'S EASIER
It is easier to settle for average than to strive for achievement
It is easier to be saturated with complacency than stirred with compassion
It is easier to be skeptical than successful
It is easier to question than conquer
It is easier to rationalize your disappointments than realize your dreams
It is easier to belch the baloney than bring home the bacon

SEVEN SECRETS OF SUCCESS
- There is no secret of success
- Success is for everyone
- Your live becomes better only when you become better
- There is no success without sacrifice
- Success is achieved in inches, not miles
- The greatest enemy of tomorrow's success is today's success
- No advice on success works unless you do

ONE STEP FURTHER
Do more than exist: live
Do more than touch: feel
Do more than look: observe
Do more than read: absorb
Do more than hear: listen
Do more than listen: understand
Do more than think: reflect
Do more than just talk: say something

WANTED!
More to improve and fewer to disapprove
More doers and fewer talkers
More to say it can be done and fewer to say it is impossible
More to inspire others and fewer to throw cold water on them
More to get into the thick of things and fewer to sit on the sidelines
More to point out what is right and fewer to show what is wrong
More to light a candle and fewer to curse the darkness

TIME IS OUR MOST PRECIOUS COMMODITY
How you spend your time is much more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can often be corrected, but when you lose time, it is gone forever.
Your priorities determine how you spend your time, and time is precious:
To know the value of one year...ask the student who failed the final exam
To know the value of one month...ask the mother of a premature baby
To know the value of one week...ask the editor of a weekly newsmagazine
To know the value of one day...ask the wage earner who has six children
To know the value of one hour...ask the lovers who are waiting to meet
To know the value of one minute...ask the person who missed the plane
To know the value of one second...ask the person who survived the accident
To know the value of one millisecond...ask the Olympic silver medalist.
Your time is priceless

LETTING GO
To let go doesn't mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone else
To let go is not to cut myself off, it is the realization that I don't control another
To let to is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands
To let go is not to try to change or blame another, I can only change myself
To let go is not to care for, but to care about
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive
To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own outcomes
To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality
To let go is not to deny but to accept
To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue, but to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires but to take each day as it comes and to cherish the moment
To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone but to try to become what I dream I can be
To let go is not to regret the past but to grow and live for the future
To let go is to fear less and love more

I ASKED.....
I asked God for strength,
that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly obey...
I asked for health,
that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity,
that I might do better things,
I asked for riches,
that I might be happy.
I was given poverty,
that I might be wise...
I asked for power,
that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness,
that I might feel the need of God...
I asked for all things,
that I might enjoy life.
I was given life,
That I might enjoy all things...
I got nothing I asked for -
but everything that I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayer were answered.
I am, among all,
most richly blessed!
