  • Brainy Quote ~ Oprah Winfrey 007
    Brainy Quote ~ Oprah Winfrey 007 “Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.” ~ Oprah Winfrey 007 ~ Ok "Di mana tidak ada pergumulan, tidak ada kekuatan." ~ Oprah Winfrey 007 ~ Ok Apakah hidup Anda saat ini seperti berkendara di jalan tol yang sepi? Melintas dengan kecepatan tinggi tanpa hambatan? Mungkinkah hidup tidak memiliki permasalahan? Adakah orang yang tidak memiliki persoalan hidup? Sepertinya, hanya orang yang sudah berada di liang kubur yang tidak memiliki persoalan lagi, karena mereka sudah tidak hidup. Bagi orang yang masih aktif dan hidup sampai saat ini, persoalan dan pergumulan hidup adalah keniscayaan. Karena dari persoalan hidup yang harus dihadapi tersebut, ada kekuatan yang mengiringinya. Seperti yang diutarakan Oprah Winfrey, seorang pilantropist, produser, aktris, dan host talk show terkenal lewat ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’, berkebangsaan Amerika, lahir pada tahun 1954 (berusia 64 tahun saat ini), melalui quote-nya, ’Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.’ Secara bebas diterjemahkan, ’Di mana tidak ada pergumulan, tidak ada kekuatan.’ Seorang anak kecil yang masih kecil… ketika pertama kali berusaha untuk berdiri, ia harus berjuang untuk menjaga keseimbangan agar tidak terjatuh. Demikian juga, seseorang yang baru pertama kali belajar mengendarai sepeda, ia pun harus berjuang agar seimbang dan tidak terjatuh. Biji pohon yang ditanam pun, harus berjuang untuk keluar dari dalam tanah, melawan tanah yang padat menekannya. Dengan kekuatan tertentu, ia mampu muncul ke permukaan dan menjulang tinggi menuju awal. Pergumulan atau perjuangan hidup adalah sesuatu yang wajib dialami setiap makhluk hidup yang masih hidup. Bila ada orang yang mengaku tidak pernah mengalami pergumulan, kemungkinan ia tidak melakukan apa-apa atau ia sudah terbiasa dengan pergumulan yang berat.

  • Brainy Quote ~ Oprah Winfrey 011
    Brainy Quote ~ Oprah Winfrey 011 “What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.” ~ Oprah Winfrey 011 ~ Ok "Apa yang Tuhan maksudkan untukmu jauh melampaui apa pun yang dapat kau bayangkan." ~ Oprah Winfrey 011 ~ Ok Engkau percaya dengan rencana Tuhan dalam hidupmu? Pernah-kah engkau merasa Tuhan salah dalam merancangkan apa yang baik bagi dirimu? Seringkali seseorang tidak mau menerima, apa yang telah ditentukan untuk hidupnya. Sehingga, ia memberontak akan hal itu. Ia lari dari takdirnya, karena ia merasa apa yang diberikan tidak seperti yang ia bayangkan. Setiap orang memang berusaha yang terbaik menurut dirinya. Setiap orang melakukan sesuatu sesuai dengan yang ia impikan. Namun, sampai batas tertentu, engkau dan saya memiliki keterbatasan untuk memahami apa yang dimaui oleh Sang Pencipta untuk hidupku dan hidupmu. Kita seringkali salah dalam menilai dan menyikapi takdir yang harus kita jalani. Namun, yang harus kita sadari adalah rencana Tuhan untukmu dan untukku jauh melampaui apa pun yang dapat kita bayangkan. Hal ini diutarakan oleh Oprah Winfrey, seorang pilantropist, produser, aktris, dan host talk show terkenal lewat ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’, berkebangsaan Amerika, lahir pada tahun 1954 (berusia 64 tahun saat ini), melalui quote-nya, ’What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.’ Secara bebas diterjemahkan, ’Apa yang Tuhan maksudkan untukmu jauh melampaui apa pun yang dapat kau bayangkan.’ Setiap orang yang beriman, memang harus berusaha semaksimal mungkin untuk keberlangsungan hidupnya. Ia harus bekerja keras dan berpeluh untuk memenuhi semua keinginannya. Namun, jangan melawan takdir. Apa yang terbaik menurut kita, belum tentu terbaik menurut-Nya. Terkadang, apa yang kita inginkan, justru menjerumuskan kita ke lembah kegelapan.

  • Oprah Winfrey
    Oprah Winfrey Oprah Gail Winfrey was born on January 29th, 1954 in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Her parents were separated, so she lived with her father Vernon Winfrey. At age six she was sent to go live with her mother. Her mother was very poor and a single mother, so a year later, she went back to live with her father. Oprah had a brother called Jeffrey and a sister called Patricia. However, in 2010 Oprah learned from her mother that she had a long-lost half sister also called Patricia. Her mother, Vernita Lee, had another daughter but put her up for adoption in 1963 soon after her birth. At this time, Oprah was eight and was living with her father so she knew nothing about this. Oprah was shocked by this but welcomed Patricia with open arms. Oprah mainly lived in Nashville, Tennessee with her father. While attending Tennessee State University, at age 19, Oprah became the anchorman of a TV news broadcast in Nashville. Oprah Winfrey was the first and youngest African American woman to anchor a newscast in Nashville. This was the beginning of the amazing actress and television host, Oprah Winfrey. Oprah had her first major success in 1984 when she became the host of “A.M. Chicago,” which was a local talk show. This was soon renamed as “The Oprah Winfrey Show” a year after she joined the show. The show was then broadcast nationally in 1986. In 2000 she cofounded O, the Oprah Magazine. This is a woman-friendly lifestyle magazine. She then started a talk radio channel called Oprah & Friends.
