“Yesterday is but a dream,
Tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.”
, The Complete Works of Kalidasa, Vol. 1: Poems
tags: hope

“Today well lived makes every yesterday a memory of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.”
Kalidasa

“Hadapilah hari ini!
Inilah saatnya untuk menuntut hidup yang nyata,
Dalam rentang waktu yang pendek ini, kita mendapat kesempatan untuk:

Berkembang dengan gembira, bertindak dengan mulia.
Menciptakan keindahan yang mempesona,
Karena hari kemarin cuma mimpi dan hari esok cuma bayang-bayang.
Tapi bila hari ini kita jalani dengan baik, setiap hari kemarin akan menjadi mimpi yang indah.
Dan setiap hari esok menjadi bayang-bayang harapan.
Jadi manfaatkanlah hari ini sebaik-baiknya.”
Kalidasa
