Overrated

Terkadang.. sesekali.. oke, sejujurnya, seringkali, saya merasa bahwa saya sudah cukup menjadi master akan kehidupan saya sendiri dan mungkin menjadi ‘guru’ bagi beberapa teman saya yang membutuhkan sedikit saran kehidupan.

Is that what we called as narcissism? No, it’s just some sort of MY self-awareness. XP
Yet, I might, now, consider myself overrated, or at least just too fast to consider myself as good as that.

Terbukti dari satu kejadian yang menyadarkan saya bahwa asam garam memang tidak ada shortcut-nya dan… diatas langit masih ada langit.

So, the story began, I was attending a social network event, in which Reza Gunawan (find out more about him at RezaGunawan.com) was one of the guest stars in the event. People asked him about their life problems, i.e. what’s the difference between self-fulfillment and being selfish, how can someone face the problem with ease at heart while he still have some unsolved problems in his heart, how to forgive and forget, and several other fundamental questions on their (might be) complicated life. While hearing people asking, he’s answering, explaining, and helping them.

He was answering those questions in very simple, understandable and solving way. Although for some people, it might be hard, even to understand it.
Yet, I believe that if I were faced in those people’s life problem, I will have the answer, need no asking nor consulting it. Ha-ha, the narcissi phase began.

Seriously, I will have the answer for most of those life issues.

But, since I fancy him, simply fancy him; I have this urge to get his autograph – deh… abege banget yak

So then, I had my time asking him about anything, like others do. But, I don’t think I have anything to be asked to a Reza Gunawan. So, I was just saying, “Hi Reza. My name is Dita. I do not have anything to ask for you, but I want you to sign it (the book) for me and just wish me luck” :D
And you know what’s happening next?

He’d smile to me, grab the book, write something and sign on it and then return it to me, saying, “Hi Dita, I Hope you’re doing great with your life” with a simple sincere smile on his face.

Gladly grab back the book then read the words he gave me on his page, he wrote “MAKE your own LUCK”

That, my friend, is when I realized that I might consider myself a bit overrated... xD
