Lihat, Saya dari Cirebon

Text of the speech given by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates at Harvard University on June 7, 2007.

President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates:

I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: “Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.”

I want to thank Harvard for this timely honour. I’ll be changing my job next year … and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.

Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you get what you’re hoping for?
When you look behind you there’s no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?
Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds
You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me

Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?

Now looking back at all we’ve had
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be?

Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you get what you’re hoping for?
When you look behind you there’s no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

That’s life, that’s what all the people say.
You’re riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I’m gonna change that tune,
When I’m back on top, back on top in June.

I said that’s life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin’ on a dream
But I don’t let it, let it get me down,
‘Cause this fine ol’ world it keeps spinning around

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I’ve been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That’s life
I tell ya, I can’t deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart just ain’t gonna buy it.
And if I didn’t think it was worth one single try,
I’d jump right on a big bird and then I’d fly

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I’ve been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That’s life
That’s life and I can’t deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won’t buy it
But if there’s nothing shakin’ come this here july
I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, My

Wah kalo ngomong soal ini, semua orang pasti punya versinya masing-masing…(heh heh heh). Entah betul entah tidak, kalo menurutku. Cinta itu mahal…, cinta pada manusia ada saja tarif yang harus dibayar. Apalagi cinta pada Allah yang menciptakan kita plus alam dengan segala isinya. Cinta itu membutakan mata orang yang mencintai hingga tidak peduli akan halangan apa yang akan diterjang dan apa yang harus dikorbankan demi memperoleh cinta itu. Cinta memang aneh dan punya tabiatnya sendiri. Cinta itu membuat orang menjadi asing. Asing bagi dirinya sendiri maupun bagi orang lain.

Kalo jadi polisi itu harus though alias kuat menjalani kehidupan. Itu berlaku buat polantas, reserse atau apalah semua jenis polisi.

Contoh kasus polisi lalu lintas

Pernah ada gak seh penelitian pada polisi, tentang kesehatan mereka utamanya yang sering jaga dijalan raya yang nota bene pastinya kena polusi tiap harinya…(apa anak mereka ada yang autis, atau banyak polisi yang impotent gara-gara kebanyakan ngehirup logam berat dari asap kendaraan). Kalo belum ada dan banyak dari mereka yang sehat berarti mereka kuat banget, belum lagi mereka yang jaga di pos polisi yang harus begadang. Dan ada lagi kalo misal mereka jaga pas ada demo mahasiswa atau komponen rakyat yang lain atu kejadian luar biasa lainnya yang gak Cuma itu doang.
