Portrait of Xun Zi
Portrait of Xun Zi

Pray all you want – heaven can’t hear you. It’s not going to stop the winter because you are cold, and it’s not going to make the earth smaller because you don’t want to walk so far. You pray for rain and it rains, but your prayer has nothing to do with it. Sometimes you don’t pray and it rains anyway. What do you say then? If you act wisely, good things tend to happen. Act like fool and bad things tend to happen. Don’t thank or curse heaven – it’s just the natural result of your own actions. If you want to have a better life, educate yourself and think carefully about the consequences of your actions.

Xun Kuang also widely known as Xun Zi

To that one soul reading this. I know you are tired, you are fed up, you are so close to breaking; But, there is strength within you even when you feel weak. Keep fighting.

I Was Dying

First I was dying to finish high school and start college.
And then I was dying to finish college and start working.
And then I was dying to marry and have children.
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough for school so I could return to work.
And then I was dying to retire.
And now, I am dying… and suddenly I realize I forgot to live.

Tell my mistakes to me, not to others. Because these are to be corrected by me, not by them.

Kupu tanpa sayap tak ada di dunia ini.
Mawar tanpa duri jarang ada atau boleh dikata tak ada.
Persahabatan tanpa cacat juga jarang terjadi.
Tetapi cinta tanpa kepercayaan adalah suatu bualan terbesar di dunia ini.

There is no wingless butterfly in this world.
There can hardly be any rose without thorns.
Untainted friendship is rare.
But love without trust is the greatest lie in this world.

Marriage is the price men pay for sex; sex is the price women pay for marriage.
