SATU PERINGATAN

JUJUR KEPADA

DIRI SENDIRI

JUJUR KEPADA

PERASAAN HATI

kalau nampak ziana zain
kurus cun melecun
maka katakan si ziana ini cun
jika nampak rosmah gemopk
pendek hododh hotok
katakan rosmah ini gemok

hormati hati kamu dulu
jaga naroni diri kamu dulu
sebelum menjaga hati orang lain

jujur kepada apa yang dilihat
ingat kepada zaman kanak kanak
kita melihat dengan mata dan hati
kita bersuara dengan jujur dan ikhlas
kita cakap apa yang kita lihat

inilah keindahan hidup!

CAKAP APA DILIHAT

Why being a fake is bad for you

Authenticity – where we say and do what we truly think – is one of the keys to our wellbeing

Authenticity is about being true to yourself in each and every moment. Our lives often turn on what seem to be the most trivial of occurrences: a chance meeting, or a single sentence that was or wasn’t said. To navigate life successfully, so you make the best decisions for yourself at any given moment, you need to be authentic – to be able to counter external influences pulling you to go against the grain of your gut feelings.

In a typical day, most of us will have at least some time when we can be truly ourselves, but for many parts of the day we are putting on a performance. For good reason we do not say or show what we truly think or feel. We put on a facade that everything is going well. We feel pressure to present ourselves positively to others – as leading a happy life – whether in a passing greeting on the street, in the office or on social media.
