Don't Let Life Push You Around
Apabila palang yang menghadang perjalanan terlalu berat untuk diangkat. Susup melalui bawahnya atau langgarnya sahaja. Usah pedulikan mereka yang menjatuhkan. Perjalanan sudah terlalu jauh untuk berhenti ditengah-tengahnya. Keletihan akibat perjalanan sudah terlalu parah. Mengundur hanya menambah parah pada luka. Teruskan, usah mengundur. Tiada siapa tahu apa yang ada hadapan, dan tidak ada juga yang pasti seandainya berundur.. Pekakkan telinga.
Don't let the hard life pushes you around. Each push is life saying, "Wake up. There's something I want you to learn". Life pushes all of us around. Some give up. Others fight. A few learn the lesson and move on. They welcome life pushing them around. To these few people, it means they need and want to learn something. They learn and move on. Most quit, and a few like fight. Push back. Be the few.
Hidup perlu diteruskan. Life must go on.

Akhirnya Dia Pergi
"Semoga berjaya dan all the best." Ucapan itu dihentikannya dan langkahnya terus disusun memasuki pintu koc B ETS yang akan menghala ke selatan itu.
Ucapan aku untuk Zahir cuma satu, Teruskan hidup kau, jangan pernah sesekali berputus asa. Kehidupan ini terlalu banyak peluang untuk diambil, gagal sekali tidak bermakna akan gagal selamnaya, Mungkin ditempat lain kau akan lebih berjaya.
Sebelum pintu ditutup, aku sempat memetik picu kamera, untuk gambar perpisahan ini.
Pintu ditutup dan kedengaran bunyi wisel daripada petugas train menandakan train akan bergerak. Beberapa detik kemudian, train itu bergerak membawa bersama seorang sahabat seperjuangan. Dalam tersenyum aku melihat train itu pergi, dan sedetik itu juga aku bergenang dengan air mata..
Zahir, Jangan pernah lupakan kami disini, kerana kami tidak melupkan kau.

Test of Three
In ancient Greece (469-399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three."
"Test of Three?"
"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to test what you're going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
No," the man said, "actually I just heard about It."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Socrates continued. "You may still pass though, because there is a third test - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"
The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.
