The Wisdom of Audrey Hepburn

Aktris cantik yang menjadi iconic sejak penampilannya membintangi film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" selalu punya opini maupun pemikiran, yang menurut saya, sejalan dengan pendapat dan paham yang saya yakini tentang hidup dan manusia. Dua di antaranya yang saya suka, bisa disimak, di bawah ini:

How shall I sum up my life? I think I've been particularly lucky. Does that have something to do with faith also? I know my mother always used to say, 'Good things aren't supposed to just fall in your lap. God is very generous, but he expects you to do your part first.' So you have to make that effort. But at the end of a bad time or a huge effort, I've always had - how shall I say it? - the prize at the end. My whole life shows that. -- Audrey Hepburn

I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it. -- Audrey Hepburn

Don't you just love her? :)
