“Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected transformation. If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven't loved enough.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“The lesson here is very simple. But it is striking how often it is overlooked. We are so caught in the myths of the best and the brightest and the self-made that we think outliers spring naturally from the earth. We look at the young Bill Gates and marvel that our world allowed that thirteen-year-old to become a fabulously successful entrepreneur. But that's the wrong lesson. Our world only allowed one thirteen-year-old unlimited access to a time sharing terminal in 1968. If a million teenagers had been given the same opportunity, how many more Microsofts would we have today?”
― Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success

“Benarlah. Jika kalian sedang bersedih, jika kalian sedang terpagut masa lalu menyakitkan, penuh penyesalah seumur hidup, salah satu obatnya adalah dengan menyadari masih banyak orang lain yang lebih sedih dan mengalami kejadian lebih menyakitkan dibandingkan kalian. Masih banyak orang lain yang tidak lebih beruntung dibandingkan kita. Itu akan memberikan pengertian bahwa hidup ini belum berakhir. Itu akan membuat kita selalu meyakini : setiap makhluk berhak atas satu harapan.”
― Tere Liye, Moga Bunda Disayang Allah

“Success is not a random act. It arises out of a predictable and powerful set of circumstances and opportunities.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success
