“O great creator of being, grant us one more hour to perform our art and perfect our lives.” -Jim Morrison.
Out of everything that God created in this world, I wonder why God didn’t create a time machine for us as well. But then again, if we keep on sobbing for fixing things we didn’t do in the past, we never get to live for tomorrow.
The world’s perception (especially those influence by Hollywood movies) nowadays tend to think that brilliant minds are just born to this world without having to learn, and are able to master any sort of intelligence in a glimpse of an eye. It’s never, or barely ever, true in reality. Knowledge is not given, knowledge is earned - and it takes time. — Haikal Pribadi
You know where diamonds come from? Starts out as carbon, black as cold, buried miles beneath the earth. It takes pressure, temperatures hotter than hell, billions of years until a volcano blows it to the surface. That is the only way to form a diamond. And you got to understand that before wanting your life to be one.

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life! To put to rout all that was not life. And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. — Henry David Thoreau
Philosophy is written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes - I mean the Universe. But one cannot understand this book until one has learned to understand the language and to know the letters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures. Without these means it is impossible for mankind to understand a single word; without these means there is only vain stumbling in a dark labyrinth. — Galileo Galilei
For those who can have their education on the tip of their fingers, I wonder how you can easily take them for granted and not appreciate them. Some students are killing themselves struggling over school debts on their own and are still trying real hard to make the best out of every piece of knowledge.

If you never admit defeat, you’ll never know when to start improving. — Haikal Pribadi
Never stop thinking. This is important. If someone ever says to you ‘You need to stop thinking so much,’ call them ignorant in your head and keep thinking deeper. It is this mentality that breeds stupidity and sheeple. Your mind is the most important tool you have, if you stop using it, it will atrophy. Question everything.
We are all crazy. Every person you read about in the history books had some kind of ‘disorder’, they just knew how to use it.
