story about motivation
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that that lit up her entire being.
She said, "Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.
"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.
She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and share a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began: "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. "You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!"
"There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change."
"Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."
She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the years end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.
One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
Lessons:
1. You are never too old to learn.
2. Laugh and find humor everyday .
3. Don't let change overwhelm you, let change help you find opportunities you may have never seen!
Advice
Do you have a dream, a wish, then turn it into a goal today - break it down, take one step, then another and accomplish your dream.

Info untuk SMAIT Assyifa
Seputar jurusan di Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMA)
Knp ya banyak orang yg ingin masuk jurusan IPA????
yups. bener
masuk jurusan IPA bs lebih mudah untuk mencari pekerjaan.
seperti dokter,bidan,arsitek,insinyur,Profesor, bahkan anak IPA bs memilih pekerjaan di bidang IPS,seperti ekonomi dan hukum
Tapi slh kah jika memilih IPS????
mengapa tidak???
aku sempet pusing 7 keliling ketika disuruh milih antara IPA dgn IPS
setelah aku pikir dgn mantap...
aku memilih jurusan IPS
ya walaupun aku bs memilih IPA. (hehe PD banget yaaa, tp boong)
tapi aku lbh mantap dgn pilihan aku
yaitu IPS
toh, yang akan menjalani hidup kita sndri
jd jgn smpai tertekan karena Ortu yg ingin memasukkan anaknya ke jurusan IPA,
Masuk IPS bkn pilihan yg terburuk
IPS lbh kreatif
apabila kita sndri yg menekuninya dgn sungguh2
InsyaAllah
anda2 semua menjadi orang yg sukses
toh... buat apa kita mengejar kekayaan
kelak kitak juga akan meninggalkan semua harta benda yg ada di bumi Ini.......
Coba kita liat sejenak
tidak semua orang IPA bs bekerja...
banyak khan kita liat sndri
ibu rumah tangga pun ada yg masuk jurusan IPA
buktikan bahwa kamu bisaaaa
buktikan klo kamu sanggup
Hidup ini ada di tanganmu
jangan membebani orang tua
Orang tua sdh membiayai km
dr sekolah dasar smpai perguruan tinggi
banggakanlah orang tuamu
siiiiipppp dech
pesan aku untuk siswi-siswi SMAIT Assyifa ikuti kata hatimu yaa!!
