Pursuit of Happiness

"What is your purpose of life?"

Bagiku, tujuan hidup sangat jelas, kebahagiaan dunia dan akhirat. Aku ingin hidup seindah itu, merasa bahagia dan membahagiakan orang lain, serta menjadi manfaat bagi orang lain. Bukankah hidup terasa sangat indah jika setiap yang kita lakukan mendatangkan manfaat bagi diri sendiri dan orang lain.

Seperti malam biasanya, aku mengisi pengetahuan baru melalui internet atau televisi, setelah lelah seharian di kantor. Aku senang membiarkan pikiranku haus dengan segala ilmu, entah itu musik, teknologi, fashion, kuliner, berita, sejarah, film, bisnis, apa pun bagiku bisa dijadikan sarana belajar. 

Tak sengaja aku menonton video obrolan antara Seal dengan Harrison Craig -The Voice AUS 2013. (Actually, I just knew who Harrison Craig is. Don't ask me how I could know him, since I like to browse anything randomly.) 

Obrolan tersebut terlihat biasa saja pada awalnya. Pertanyaan tentang harapan Seal sebagai coach terhadap Harrison. Kemudian aku merasa terpukau di pertanyaan terakhir.

Harrison Craig : "What's an accurate measure of success?"
Seal : "Happiness. Without question."
....
Seal : "... If I'm not happy, I would do something else"
Seal : " all my life is to pursuit of happiness."

After that, I was amazed how fast Seal could answer that question. Definitely agree with him. For some people, success is about title or money. Others choose to have a success which brings happiness to their life.


Then, I remember a great movie, The Pursuit of Happyness. It's so REAL! That we have to work really hard to pursue happiness. There are a lot of things to be sacrificed on the way. And the most important thing when we get tired on the way, keep on our mind, semua usaha kita akan terbayar one day. Do it only for our loved ones. To give them happiness.

It's obvious that we all dream of a happy life. Good luck for us. :)
