A Heart Of Team

Terinspirasi dari pertandingan Liverpool FC v Man Utd sabtu kemarin sebenernya udah cukup lama mau menulis tentang artikel ini.. tapi setelah liat pertandingan kemarin baru teringat lagi.. So here we go..


A heart of a team merupakan sebuah kiasan yang bermaksud menunjukkan sebuah kepemimpinan seseorang dalam sebuah team, disini saya akan mengkhususkan kepada our beloved captain in LFC Steven George Gerrard untuk artikel ini.. Saya salah satu LFC fans yang melihat pertumbuhan Stevie G dari semenjak dia baru masuk team utama setelah naik dari youth team LFC..





Dari sudut pandang saya waktu itu yang mana saya pun waktu itu masih berumur 13 Tahun hanya melihat seorang Stevie G sebagai pemaen youth yang diberi kesempatan oleh Gerard Houllier dan perhatian saya masih sangat tertuju pada Robbie Fowler, Steve Mcmanaman, atau Michael Owen waktu itu, dan ternyata Stevie G yang malah membuat saya kagum pada akhirnya.

Okay cukup buat intermezzo nya.. Titel diatas dimaksudkan seorang pemaen yang menjadi pemain penting yang bisa mengangkat moral dari suatu team.. Disini saya mau mengangkat salah satu momen heroic Steven Gerrard pada saat Final Liga Champion 2005 dimana keadaan LFC waktu Half Time tertinggal 3-0 dari AC Milan.. 1st half merupakan perasaan terburuk saya selama saya menonton LFC menonton dengan harapan akan kemenangan malah tertinggal 3-0 pada akhir babak pertama..

Stevie yang waktu itu merupakan captain di LFC menunjukkan pada semua saat itu bahwa menyerah bukanlah sebuah pilihan mungkin yang terlintas waktu itu "Win the match or die trying" tanpa henti dia men-support team nya agar tidak menyerah pada keadaan padahal Saya sebagai fans waktu itu sudah hampir hilang asa melihat skor yang jauh tertinggal..

Pada akhirnya kerja keras mereka terbayar.. dengan sebuah crossing dari Riise dan disambut header dari Stevie membuat LFC back to the game.. Setelah mencetak goal Stevie langsung berlari ke garis tengah dan meminta yang lain untuk segera kembali ke lapangan karena pertandingan masih panjang dan masih ada poin yang harus dikejar..




Dan benar kerja keras team terbukti lagi satu tendangan jarak jauh dari Vladimir Smicer membuat skor 3-2 masih ada satu angka lagi untuk menyamakan keadaan.. Pada saat keadaan mulai berbalik penetrasi dari stevie dihentikan oleh salah satu pemain AC Milan dan pada saat itu juga penalty untuk LFC.. Xabi Alonso sebagai algojo waktu itu dia sempat gagal pada tendangan penalty tetapi kembali menendang bola ke gawang untuk menyamakan kedudukan..




Gambaran diatas menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan seorang pemimpin dari sebuah tim merupakan hal yang penting.. kharisma yang dia punya bisa membangkitkan semangat..

Beberapa hal yang bisa kita ambil dari gambaran diatas.. Semua orang harus bisa jadi pemimpin bagi dirinya sendiri untuk jadi lebih baik.. mungkin memang banyak hal yang mungkin menurut kita merupakan hal yang impossible untuk dilakukan.. tapi apa salahnya jika kita mencoba jika memang hal itu baik?..

Setidaknya jika gagal kita tidak akan pernah bilang "coba gw dulu ngelakuin itu ya" tapi jika berhasil kita akan bilang "untung gw nyoba ya".. We never know what life can be until you try..

Jadi maksud saya menulis diatas adalah untuk kita sama-sama belajar untuk bisa jadi pemimpin untuk diri kita sendiri lebih bagus lagi jika bisa memimpin orang lain untuk berubah jadi lebih baik.. :)

YNWA (You'll Never Walk Alone)


You'll Never Walk Alone, Simple but meaningful words (even i know this words because i am fans of LFC and this words are a song you must know as a Liverpool fans).. Firstly i don't even know anything about this song.. what it's all about, the meaning of it or what for we sing this song..

After a while my curiosity push me to find out what it's all about, i start to download the song and find the lyrics then i read it.. I thought this song was made only for LFC but after i read the lyrics it tells me that this song is more than that, the song told us about how to live your life optimistic, keep your positive thinking.. maybe you have a big problem right now in your life, this song told you there is something bright ahead after your problem but before that you must survive to pass your problem..



Maybe some of you said "You never feel what i feel if you never on my position".. that's the point of this song will you carry your problem by yourself alone or will you share it? you can share to your friends or even you can share to God who will never judge you.. you have a lot of option but give up to your problem is not an option.. like i quote the song "at the end of a storm there's a golden sky" and me personally believe it will..

You'll Never Walk Alone
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm

There's a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

note:
I always amaze when i sing or chant this song before and after the LFC match and this feeling can only defeat by sing a national anthem when you sing with one hundred thousand Indonesian people in Senayan..

Wisata Hati.. :)

Pulang kerja iseng-iseng cari bacaan di internet, ga sengaja baca artikel lama tapi sangat patut dibaca sebagai bahan perenungan.. Cerita lama yang bahkan saya sendiri tidak tahu siapa penulis asli dari cerita ini.. :D

Paku 

"Suatu ketika seorang anak laki2 yg bersifat pemarah, ayahnya berusaha keras utk membuang sifat buruk anaknya. Suatu hari ayah memanggil anaknya & memberinya sekantong paku.
Paku ? ya paku….sang anak heran. Tapi bibir sang ayah membentuk senyum bijak. Dengan suaranya yg lembut, ia berkata kpd anaknya agar memakukan sebuah paku di pagar belakang rumah setiap kali marah.

Dihari pertama, sang anak menancapkan 48 paku, begitu juga hari kedua, ketiga dan bbrpa hari berikutnya. Tapi tak berlangsung lama, setelah itu jumlah paku yg tertancap mulai berkurang secara bertahap. Ia menemukan fakta lebih mudah menahan amarahnya dari pada menancapkan paku dip pagar belakang.

Akhirnya, kesadaran itu membuahkan hasil, si anak sudah dapat mengendalikan amarahnya. Ia bergegas memberitahukan hal itu kepada ayahnya. Sang ayah tersenyum, kemudian meminta sang anak agar mencabut paku setiap hari diamana sang anak tidak marah.
Hari berlalu dan akhirnya sang anak berhasil mencabut paku yg pernah ditancapnya. Ia segera melaporkan kabar gembira kepada sang ayah. Sang ayah pun bangkit dari duduknya dan menuntun sang anak ke pagar di belakang rumah.

”Hmmm….kamu telah berhasil anakku.” Tapi lihat lubang2 di pagar ini….
Pagar ini tak akan pernah bisa sama seperti sebelumnya, kata sang ayah bijak.
”Ketika kamu melontarkan sesuatu dgn amarah, kata2mu dan tindakanmu akan meninggalkan bekas seperti lubang ini di hati orang lain. Kamu dpt menusukkan pisau kpd seseorang, lalu mencabut pisau itu, tapi tidak peduli berapa kali kamu meminta maaf ? luka itu akan tetap ada, ucap sang ayah lebut namun sarat makna.

Sang anak membalas dgn tatapan lembut ayahnya dgn mata berkaca2. Pelajaran yg diberikan ayahnya begitu tajam menghujam direlung hatinya". 

 

Ada nilai yang baik dalam cerita ini tentang bagaimana kita menjaga mulut dan perbuatan kita.. Mungkin dalam kehidupan kita sehari-hari kita melakukan banyak perbuatan atau perkataan yang menyakiti.. Jadi menurut saya pribadi pelajaran yang bisa diambil itu Think before you act or speak.

My Hobbies, My Guilty Pleasures.. :D

Hi mate.. Long time no write in here, Hmm let me think what should i write right now. Okay i decided to write about my guilty pleasure hobbies. Firstly I do love Liverpool FC, i really enjoyed to watch and support LFC. But there's side effect about supporting LFC something i called my hobby until now.

I started this hobby about 3 years ago.. in the first place i just want to have a LFC jersey for watch LFC with my friend on Bigreds (Official Indonesian Liverpool FC Supporter), that time i said to myself  "okay, i think this one is enough to be used for watch LFC" but there was something push me to bought another one and that time "okay two jersey is enough i think".


But after not so long i started collecting LFC jersey, I am really addicted to this hobby.. After all this three years i realize that collecting jersey is not just ordinary hobby, it's same with you invest your money with valuable thing but in condition you're take care your jersey..


I want to tell you why I said it's a guilty pleasure to have this hobby, when you love about the hobby you will try to get something you really want right? yeah that's what i do about this hobby , even I have to cut my gasoline and eating budget to saving the money to buy a jersey. It is torture me of course but it pleasing me at the same time..

Another great thing i have found something on this hobby i meet lot of new friend who like same passion about jersey, there is lot of lesson i could learn from them about this hobby, how to take care a jersey, how to invest a jersey and more importantly i could share same story and passion about LFC and jersey at the same time..

this is the picture of some of my friend:




there's still a lot of my friend have same passion about jersey but have different team to support and still we respect each other.. Enemy on the football field but Friend on real world.. But for me personally LFC still the best club in the World.. We Love You Liverpool We Do! #YNWA

Never Ending Happiness



Title up there quite impossible in this life right? maybe yes maybe not.. why i say maybe yes, give me an one example about someone in this life which in their life always get a sunshine.. even God send a rain for the world to give enlightenment in this world and so it is with human.


Basically humans are an arrogant creatures.. Humans wouldn't remember who's their maker if they always get an happiness.. So God always give'em a test to make they remember a reason for what they live in this world..


Okay enough with maybe yes.. then we should go why i said maybe no.. yes up there we talk about no one will happy ever after there will be rain sometimes.. But if we continuing your happiness to someone else it will be never ending or will be continuing if we pass it to someone else for example "one day you ran out of money in middle your trip to somewhere in that time you feel so hungry..


but suddenly there's someone buy you a food because of he/she looks you so confused in front of convenience store and holding your stomach.. he/she maybe thinks what if they in your position hoping someone give'em a food to eat or maybe they already have been in your position and someone give them a help to buy the a food"..


what happen up there is only a simple example on this life.. maybe there will be a lot of bigger case in this life but the point is.. if we have something to share why we wouldn't give to someone who need it more than us and at the same time we hope that someone you help will do same thing to someone who more need help than they by doing that you already at least become a part to build a never ending happiness.

Hillsborough Tragedy



 Hillsborough tragedy was one of black page of  Liverpool Football Club history.. where 96 liverpool fans died on 15 April 1989. It was FA-Cup semi-final between LFC v Nottingham Forest and the game played at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium.

The main cause of this tragedy was overcrowding, the main reason for the disaster was the failure of police control.

The victims of hillsborough tragedy: 89 were male 7 were female. In respect of age, the majority were under 30 years of age, and more than a third were under 20 years. The youngest to die was a boy of 10 years and one of the victims are steven gerrard cousin.

There was some controversial news about this tragedy, one of newspaper the sun reporting some news that wouldn't forgive by LFC fans all over the world, this was news:

 "On the Tuesday following the disaster, Kelvin MacKenzie, then editor of The Sun, a British tabloid newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch, used the front page headline 'THE TRUTH', with three sub-headlines: 'Some fans picked pockets of victims'; 'Some fans urinated on the brave cops'; 'Some fans beat up PC giving kiss of life'."

this news hurts LFC fans and family of the victims.. The Sun blame Liverpool fans for this tragedy.. and on 1993 they release the news about an apologize statement for all LFC fans and family victims.. they said ""I regret Hillsborough. It was a fundamental mistake. The mistake was I believed what an MP said. It was a Tory MP. If he had not said it and the chief superintendent had not agreed with it, we would not have gone with it."

But this explanation was not accepted by families of Hillsborough victims until now that's why LFC fans still boycott The Sun Newspaper..

22 years and still on we'll seeks for justice.. 96 souls taken on that day.. They'll Never Walks alone.. #JusticeFor96..

Life will be Life

It's quite funny to see how our life going.. i'ts just like roller coaster ups and downs, when you're on top enjoy it when you can and prepare for the worst after you're on top.. happy and sad, Our God really know about every moment we had (at least i think it like that).. but what seems so funny for me, some people said "it's god way" when s/he do something wrong it's totally crap, why?..

Okay this is some example.. in every religion our God thought us about how to make a good life in this world right? and if you're good one through this life you're gone to heaven but if you failed you're straight to hell.. but that some people said "I go to jail because god wrote my destiny like this" so in other words s/he said that god send me straight to hell..

But in my thought God not give you "the only way" but God give a lot of way for you to choose.. your life choose by yourself.. you want to be a good guy your call.. you want to be a bad guy also your call.. god give us a choose and that's why God give us brain to think and decided what good for us..

Me personally believe about life after death, i admitted i am not a saint i am still a sinner.. but back to things up there.. this the life i choose and i will paid what i have done in this life..

Hope this piece of scratch at least open your other view of this life.. in the end life will be life nothing more,,
