Greatness In Every Human Beings

"Be not afraid of greatness.. Some are born great.. Some achieve greatness.. And some have greatness thrust upon them.."

-Shakespeare-

Hi, guys.. This time.. I wanna talk about GREATNESS.. In Indonesian, It's also known as "keagungan"..

Whether you realized it or not.. Greatness is one of human's dream.. Every human strives and struggles to achieve it.. They wanna have have it.. They wanna live with it as their part of life..

But.. Unfortunately.. Some afraid of it.. Some people afraid of other people greatness and just give up on what they dream of.. Only because they think other people are far more superior in what they're searching for.. They fear them.. They fear their greatness.. Some other.. Think that they don't have greatness and will never achieve it no matter how hard they try.. Coz greatness will only come for some certain people who are special.. And they're just not one of them.. So they give up..

But, I believe.. Greatness is not a simple stuff that only some certain people who were born special.. It is far wider than we imagine.. It's complicated.. But, I believe that everybody has greatness written on their branches of destiny.. They just need to choose.. Being nobody.. Or being special..

There are three type of greatness..

First of all.. Some people are born great.. I imagine it as talent.. I believe everybody born with each of their own talents.. No one born without talents.. When one thinks that he has no talent at all.. He's just thinking on pesimistic ways.. Everybody has talents.. We just have to realize it.. It may sound easy.. But, it's not easy at all.. It needs a lot of confidence.. When we realize our talents and build it even more stronger.. I believe that greatness is within our reach..

Next.. Some achieve greatness.. You may not realize your true talents.. But.. You believe that when you work on something.. You can be even more better on it.. Train and train.. It needs hard work and dedication.. This may be the hardest way.. But, I believe for real.. That when you can't do nothing.. It is yourself that create the limitation.. Try to break your own wall.. Break the limitation.. Everybody can achieve greatness even without talents.. Only when they believe they can do it and put hard works on it..

The last one.. Some have greatness thrust upon them.. For me, it's like having somebody feeding you with greatness.. Well.. A simple example is the throne of kingdom.. The king is the one who have greatness thrust upon him from his late father, the late king.. But.. Not only king that can have greatness thrust upon them.. We, ordinary people can have greatness thrust upon us.. Like having a teacher that trust us.. The teacher that will give us knowledge or skills that we can use to reach greatness.. But, it's not that easy.. Coz, how we can make others thrust their greatness upon us is the challenge.. I don't have the answer.. But, I believe everybody can do it naturally..

Greatness is not something that we should fear.. We could reach our own greatness. All we have to do is try.. Th greatness is already there.. In our destiny.. Waiting for us the greet them.. Will just let them wait forever.. Or will you try to find them.. So their long wait will not be in vain.. It's your own choice.. Find your own destiny,, Live your own life..

You may have different views of GREATNESS.. Be not afraid to share with me.. I am curently seeking the truth.. So.. My writings is not officially truth for me.. I am open with your opinion.. Help me to find the truth of life..

Hands Held High..

Well.. This song inspire me a lot.. Try to read the lyrics.. It's very deep.. I have provided this blog with this song.. This song is the Background Music for this blog.. Read.. Listen.. Find the message..

Turn mymic up louder I got to say somethin.
Lightweights step it aside when we come in
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumpin
People on the street they panic and start running.
Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming.
I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme i'm dumping.
Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and
Jump when they tell us that they wanna to see jumping.
Fuck that, I wanna see some fist pumping.
risk something,
take back what's yours
say something that you know they might attack you for
cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for.
Like this war's really just a different brand of war.
Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor.
Like they understand you in the back of the jet, when you
can't put gas in your tank, and these fuckers are
laughing their way to the bank, cashing the check
asking you to have compassion, have some respect
for a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
in the living room laughing like
what did he say?

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

In my living room watching, I am not laughing, Cause
when it gets tense I know what might happen
The world is cold, the bold men take action
have to react or get blown into fractions.
Ten years old, it's something to see, another
kid my age drug under a jeep,
taken and bound, and found later under a tree,
I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me

Do you see, the soldiers, they're out today they
Brush the dust from bulletproof vests away.
It's ironic, at times like this you pray,
but a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday.
There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads,
inside your market,your shops, your clothes,
My dad, He's got a lot of fear I know
but enough pride inside not to let that show.
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine.
On the back, he hand wrote a quote inside:
"when the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
And meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
both scared and angry like
what did he say?

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

With hands held high into a sky so blue
as the ocean opens up to swallow you. (5x)

The Destiny that Every Human Face

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.."

-William Jennings Bryan-

Well.. Try to think about that.. We, humans, understand that we live with destiny.. But, unfortunately.. Some people still believe that destiny is something that they can never change.. Something that already written since they were born in this world..

Well, that may be true.. But, if explore deeper about the destiny, there will be various interpretation about what is destiny and how can we find that destiny.. There may be thousands of interpretation about destiny out there..

Now.. I'll try to share my own opinion about the destiny.. I believe that there are several destinies for me or for every human beings that had already written since we were born.. But, I believe that some destiny can be change.. Well.. It may not be right to say 'change' for this thing.. I like to say 'alter' for destiny..

You may not change who your parents are.. Who your brother and sister are.. What your origins are.. That's some kind of the destiny that you will never change.. No matter how hard you try.. It is already fixed..

Well.. The destiny that I want to talk about is the destiny that we, humans, can alter.. It's about our live in the future.. Some people said that if they become poor, it is destiny who make them poor.. So, they think it will be useless to work for a living.. Coz, it had already written that they will be poor.. Or.. Some might think that someday their chance will come to be rich..

I quite disagree with that.. It is not chances that create your destiny.. Your choices.. It will create your destiny.. Sometimes in your live.. You will find that you have soe choices ahead to be chosen.. You may do something or you may do nothing.. What you choose there will bring you to your destiny.. Even if you do nothing.. It will bring you to your destiny.. Every choices creates different destiny.. Maybe.. Only by choosing to do nothing will make you success.. While if we choose to do something, we may end in failure that brings us so much disadvantages in life.. But, who knows what will happen next.. No matter how hard the choices.. It is a must for everybody to make desicion about how and where will you bring your own destiny..

Since chances is not ver essential for creating destiny.. So, we may assume that destiny will never come for you.. You must find that.. Destiny is not an easy thing.. Not a piece of cake.. To achieve some certain destinies.. You might even have to face hundreds or even thousands choices which means that you have face thousands of your destiny which you have create by your own desicion.. So.. Destiny is not merely a thing to be waited.. You have to achieve it.. You have to find it.. And you have to fight for it..

Every destiny will bring you to other destiny for you.. So.. It is necessary to make choices and desicion in evertime in your lifetime.. You choices will bring you to another choices and it will be like that until you find your last destiny.. The end of everybody's destiny.. which is DEATH..

Well, guyz.. That is what destiny means for me.. I believe that you have different opinion about it. Everybody has.. I'd like to share with you about it.. Since The Philosophy that Was Never Taught is not a blog to teach you, but it is a blog to find the truth of our life.. So, never doubt to share your mind.. Especially about this destiny.. Coz, it is very principal..

Nothing Personal, No Hard Feelings..
