Cerpen Mundur Untuk Meloncat Lebih Tinggi

Suatu hari seorang murid dan guru berjalan menuruni gunung menuju ke kota, di dalam perjalanan mereka bertemu anak sungai yang aliran airnya tidak terlalu deras, saat itu sang guru melangkahi sungai tersebut dengan sangat mudah, walaupun sungai tersebut cukup lebar.

Sang murid yang melihat gurunya dengan sangat kagum, dan sang guru memintanya untuk mengikuti langkahnya. Sang murid merasa ia tidak mampu melangkahi sungai tersebut hanya dengan satu langkah lebar, maka murid tersebut berjalan mundur dua langkah dan berlari kecil melompati sungai tersebut, hap, sungai itu berhasil dilalui.

Semakin jauh perjalanan mereka, rintangan yang dihadapi pun semakin berat, sang murid mengikuti gurunya di belakang dengan sangat hati-hati.

Tibalah mereka di sebuah jurang yang cukup terjal, namun tidak terlalu lebar. Di ujung jurang tersebut sang guru melangahkan kaki dengan yakin dan langkah pasti yang lebar, sang guru berhasil melangkahkan kakinya di sebrang jurang. Sang murid yang melihatnya sangat terkejut, sang guru pun berkata.

“Ayo melangkahlah menuju sisi jurang ini, lebar jurang ini sama seperti sungai yang kita lalui sebelumnya !”

Sang murid, yang melihat gurunya di sebrang jurang menunjukkan sebuah raut keraguan di wajahnya. Dengan seksama ia perhatikan lebar jurang tersebut, kedalamannya dan melihat ke belakang.

Dengan penuh kepastian ia mengambil lima langkah mundur dan bersiap menyebrangi jurang tersebut dengan berlari dan meloncat sepenuh tenaga, dan sekali lagi perhitungannya tepat. Sang murid berhasil menyebrangi jurang tersebut berkat kecerdikannya.

Sesampainya di sebrang jurang sang guru mengelus lembut kepala muridnya sambil berkata

“Wahai muridku, tahukah engaku apa yang membedakan loncatanmu saat di sungai dan di tepi jurang ? Walaupun dengan lebar yang sama, namun kau dapat melihat rintangan yang berbeda dari kedua hal tersebut, karena itu kau mengambil langkah mundur yang lebih banyak saat loncat di tepi jurang untuk memastikan keselamatanmu.

Begitu juga dengan kehidupan, saat tantangan hidup di depanmu lebih besar, kau harus melangkah mundur sedikit lebih banyak agar kita mampu mengatasi segala kemungkinan yang ada dan meloncat lebih tinggi.

Saat kau mengalami suatu kemunduran dalam hidupmu, entah itu kegagalan, jatuh, dikhianati, mungkin itulah langkah mundurmu agar dapat melompat lebih tinggi dan meraih setiap kesuksesanmu.

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
