Kepemimpinan juga berarti keindahan. Uniknya, ketika keindahan itu terlihat, manusia bukan mau memilikinya. Ia mau memberi. Kata-kata yang sering dikutip oleh manusia di jalan-jalan keindahan: 'semuanya sudah, sedang, dan akan berjalan sempurna!'

An inspiring collection of thoughts to take with us on the paths we travel in life.


For all the roads we choose to travel, and even those we don't, Fred Rogers has an observation, a story, some insight to share. Whether you're facing graduation, a new job, a new baby, marriage, any change in your life -- expected or not -- the wisdom that Mister Rogers offers can contribute mightily to the grace with which you handle the change.

With sections titled Who You Are Right Now, Loving and Being Loved, and Guided Drift, Fred addressed the scope of human transitions. It all comes down to knowing we're valuable, and that we're worthy of that value. As Fred would say, "You don't have to be anything more than who you are right now."

In her Foreword, Joanne Rogers shares the Fred she knew. With stories from their life together, the joys as well as the struggles, Joanne shows how Fred looked at life as a journey -- with the ups and downs and in-betweens.

Bagi kita mungkin ia sosok orang tua, guru, atau teman sejawat. Seseorang yang lebih berumur, sabar dan arif, yang memahami kita sebagai orang muda yang penuh gelora, yang membantu kita memandang dunia sebagai tempat yang lebih indah, dan memberitahu kita cara terbaik untuk mengarunginya. Bagi Mitch Albom, orang tua itu adalah Morrie Schwartz, seorang mahaguru yang pernah jadi dosennya hampir dua puluh tahun yang lampau.

Barangkali, seperti Mitch, kita kehilangan kontak dengan sang guru sejalan dengan berlalunya waktu, banyak kesibukan dan semakin dinginnya hubungan sesama manusia. Tidakkah kita ingin bertemu dengannya lagi untuk mencari jawab atas pertanyaan-pertanyaan besar yang masih menghantui kita, dan menimba kearifan guna menghadapi hari-hari sibuk kita dengan cara seperti ketika kita masih muda?

Bagi Mitch Albom, kesempatan kedua itu karena ada suatu keajaiban telah mempertemukannya kembali dengan Morrie pada bulan-bulan terakhir hidupnya. Keakraban yang segera hidup kembali di antara guru dan murid itu sekaligus menjadi sebuah "kuliah" akhir: kuliah tentang cara menjalani hidup. Selasa bersama Morrie menghadirkan sebuah laporan rinci luar biasa seputar kebersamaan mereka.
