MOTTO
Orang-orang hebat di bidang apapun bukan baru bekerja karena mereka
terinspirasi, namun mereka menjadi terinspirasi karena mereka lebih suka
bekerja. Mereka tidak menyia-nyiakan waktu untuk menunggu inspirasi.
-Ernest Newman
Banyak kegagalan dalam hidup ini dikarenakan orang-orang tidak menyadari
betapa dekatnya mereka dengan keberhasilan saat mereka menyerah.
-Thomas Alva Edison
Kebanggaan kita yang terbesar adalah bukan tidak pernah gagal, tetapi
bangkit kembali setiap kali kita jatuh.
