MOTTO
Anda harus menerima kenyataan yang tak dapat dielakkan. Bila anda
menerimanya dengan hati cemas sesungguhnya kecemasan itu tiada gunanya
bagi anda.
(Dr. “Aidh bin “Abdullah Al – Qarni).
We are free to choose our action, but we are not free to choose the
consequence of our choice.
(Stephen R Covey)
Jauhkan dirimu dari ketawa terbahak-bahak. Jika kami bodoh maka akan
bertambah kebodohanmu, karena dengan tertawa terbahak-bahak berarti kamu
telah memuntahkan ilmumu.
