Beberapa Inspirasi dari TEDx Talks
I really like
listen to other people’s positive stories. I believe, story has power to
inspire others. And also, the power to change. I love to be inspired. Maybe that’s
why, I enjoy to watch TEDx Talks recently. I know not everyone in this world
likes to listen videos like TEDx Talks, maybe they don’t really like (what they
call) “those kind-of-motivational-videos”. But, I think, TEDx Talks has its own
strength that makes it different. Because, it's not just common motivation words, it's an unique idea, born from tested experiences and personal stories. On this post, I really want to document some
inspirational stories I watched. Hope you will get inspired too.
"The greatest thing is love. When we
feel like we don't have enough love, and we don't have enough hope, we start
losing strength to live."
"The world is a hurting place, and
the world needs hope, and the world needs love. Without hope, we feel like, ‘why
are we here?’"
"Every single human being has value. And
my value is not determined on how i look, or what job i have, or where i'm
from, where i was born, how much money, all that stuff is nothing."
"You've got to come to the truth of
knowing who you are and why you're here."
"Trust me, i'm just like you. But i
hope you are inspired to know, that if i can dream big, so can you. There are
no walls. Find your peace and you'll make your walls doors."

"I used their negativity to light my
fire to keep going. Use that. Use that. Use that negativity that you have in
your life to make yourself better, because i guarantee you, guarantee you, you
will win. Brave starts here."

"You know, a lot of us are forced to
make very important decisions very early in life, and we're not even sure what
we want to do; i wasn't. And that is OK. The answer lies in experimenting and
doing so fearlessly. Everyone does not have a chalked-out path. If you decide
to be an actor, your journey and my journey is not necessarily going to be the
same. Learn to embrace the randomness."

"We need to spend just as much time
discovering what our passions are as we do understanding the needs in which the
communities that we live in and that's where the true potential lies."
"I like to think of it as simple
economics where your passion is the supply and the world's greatest needs is
the demand and we need to find that sweet spot that intersection between the
two. It's not about choosing our passions or choosing to not follow our
passions. It's about marrying our passion to a greater purpose in the
communities that we live."

"Unhealthy beliefs about others come
about because we compare ourselves to other people. We think that they're
either above us or below us. Or we think that they can control how we feel. Or
that we can control how they behave. Or we blame them for holding us back. But
really, it's our own choices that do that.”
“You have to accept that you're your own
person, and other people are separate from you. The only person you should
compare yourself to, is the person that you were yesterday."
"And unhealthy beliefs about the
world come about because deep down, we want the world to be fair. We want to
think that if we put in enough good deeds, enough good things will happen to
us. Or if we tough it out through enough bad times, we'll get some sort of
reward. But ultimately, you have to accept that life isn't fair. And that can
be liberating. Yeah, it means you won't necessarily be rewarded for your
goodness, but it also means no matter how much you've suffered, you're not
doomed to keep suffering. The world is what you make it. But of course before
you can change your world, you have to believe that you can change it."

“The ‘I Complex’ is a model to help you
figure out which ‘I’ you mean when you say ‘I’. You're very familiar with the
superiority complex. If you have a superiority complex, you pretty much think
you're the most important person in the room. If you've got an inferiority
complex, you suffer from an over-modest self-regard. These are both signs of a
fragile ego. One of them is about delusions of grandeur, and the other one
delusions of insignificance. There's a third way of being in the world, and I
call it 'interiority', this is one of my made-up words.
So the word ‘interiority’ describes a
particular disposition, and there are two reasons it might be useful to you.
Number one, it's completely uncomparative. If you have a superiority complex or
an inferiority complex, you need other people around. For superiority complex,
you need other people to be smaller. For an inferiority complex, you need to
suffer from the i'm-gonna-be-found-out syndrome, so somebody needs to find you
out.
Interiority is entirely unrelative, so to
operate from this position of interiority, it's like a perceptual vantage
point. It's sensibility. It's an orientation. And it's the only place in your
life, the only place in your life, you have no competition. Try and find a
comparison to yourself, and you'll draw blank.
I want to introduce you to a woman called
Jill Scott. You might have her on you iTunes playlist, but Jill's a singer, and
she's just about to go on stage and perform, and in case you missed the
question, there's a French filmmaker who's filming her. She's going on stage
after Erykah Badu, and he says to her, "are you nervous, you know, going
on after Erykah?" And I want you to listen what she says.
Interviewer : Are you nervous you're going
to perform after her?
JS : (Laughter) Have you ever seen me
perform? I am the lady Jill Scott. I am a poet, a singer, and a lot of other
things. We all have our own thing, that's the magic, and everybody comes with
their own sense of strength, and their own queendom. Mine could never compare
to hers, and hers could never compare to mine.
See, you didn't even know you had a
queendom. That's what it looks like. When you figure out how to be yourself,
it's an incredibly liberating, untragic way to go through life. You don't
develop an identity, that's a predicated on being a patchwork personality. You're not a composite, an amalgam, of all
your experiences and influences. You're not just somebody's boss, or somebody's
mom, or anybody's anything. You're yourself.”

"Today, we've talked about 3 themes
in getting stuff done when you're depressed. They're proactiveness, urgency,
and difficulty. Almost always when I use these strategies they work. But there
are days when the bipolar disorder or the ovarian disease, or the Myasthenia
Gravis, or all of the above win. And when that happens, I remind myself of
something that I want to share with all of you. I want to share this with
anyone listening, who fights depression, or who loves someone that does. Yes,
depression is real. But hope is real. Courage is real. Resilience is
real."

"Don't judge somebody else's process
because you're in a process as well."
"I don't subscribe to fear because
what is fear? F.E.A.R. is False Evidence Appearing Real. That's what that is;
it's not real. I believe in faith, faith is the assurance of things hoped for
and evidence of things not seen. One deals in the negative, another one deals
in the positive. I choose to look for the positive."
"I don't have to beg anybody to like
me, because i like me."
