SELF LOVE AFFIRMATION

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, gue sempet liat postingan orang lain di instagram tentang buku - buku yang dia baca. Buku putih dengan warna font hitam merah dan cover yang simple menarik perhatian gue. Tanpa mikir panjang, gue mencari buku tersebut dan mencoba untuk membacanya. Hal yang pertama kali menarik perhatian gue adalah judul dari bukunya itu sendiri. Buku The Courage To Be Disliked merupakan salah satu buku favorit gue tentang psikologi dan kehidupan.

You don't even realize when you sit down on the train, listening to people's conversation. or when you watch a movie or youtube, or when you debated with your parents or partner. You absord those knowledge. Eventhough if it's just a little. "But what is knowledge? It is something that is everywhere.
