Kesederhanaan Sebuah Cita-Cita

Sore yang indah, ditemani oleh bunyi ombak dan semilir angin yang kian beriringan dengan suara daun kelapa yang tak mau berhenti untuk melambai. Suasana tenang disini setidaknya dapat mengurangi rasa penatku. Kudengar decitan kursi roda yang makin lama kian mendakatiku. Kulihat sosok yang memang akhir-akhir ini sering bersamaku di tempat ini. Aku sangat bingung jika melihat ekspresi wajahnya terkadang dia terlihat sangat tenang dan terkadang dia terlihat datar.

“Apa hari ini kau baik-baik saja?” tanyaku padanya karena memang dia adalah sosok yang sangat sulit ditebak, bukannya jawaban yang kudapat tapi hanya senyum kecil yang mengembang di bibirnya. Aku semakin bingung dengan semua tingkahnya, sangat aneh bagiku karena memang dia sosok yang pendiam tak banyak kata yang dia lontarkan untukku.

“Disini sangat tenang, aku menyukainya” ucapku menceracau sendiri, inilah kebiasaanku setiap bertemu dengannya meskipun tak ada satupun respon darinya tapi aku tahu bahwa dia me

Tetesan Terakhir

Pasar malam dibuka di sebuah kota. Penduduk menyambutnya dengan gembira. Berbagai macam permainan, stand makanan dan pertunjukan diadakan. Salah satu yang paling istimewa adalah atraksi manusia kuat. Begitu banyak orang setiap malam menyaksikan unjuk kekuatan otot manusia kuat ini.

Manusia kuat ini mampu melengkungkan baja tebal hanya dengan tangan telanjang. Tinjunya dapat menghancurkan batu bata tebal hingga berkeping-keping.

Ia mengalahkan semua pria di kota itu dalam lomba panco. Namun setiap kali menutup pertunjukkannya ia hanya memeras sebuah jeruk dengan genggamannya. Ia memeras jeruk tersebut hingga ke tetes terakhir. ‘Hingga tetes terakhir’, pikirnya.

Manusia kuat lalu menantang para penonton: “Hadiah yang besar kami sediakan kepada barang siapa yang bisa memeras hingga keluar satu tetes saja air jeruk dari buah jeruk ini!”

Kemudian naiklah seorang lelaki, seorang yang atletis, ke atas panggung. Tangannya kekar. Ia memeras dan memeras… dan menekan sisa jeruk… tapi tak setetespun air jeruk keluar. Sepertinya seluruh isi jeruk itu sudah terperas habis. Ia gagal. Beberapa pria kuat lainnya turut mencoba, tapi tak ada yang berhasil. Manusia kuat itu tersenyum-senyum sambil berkata : “Aku berikan satu kesempatan terakhir, siapa yang mau mencoba?”

Sekilas Tentang Phelps, Sang Pemecah Rekor Renang di Olimpiade Beijing 2008

Potensi manusia begitu besar dan tidak terbatas. Terbukti selalu ada rekor baru dalam setiap penyelenggaraan olimpiade. Dalam sejarah Olimpiade muncul para pemecah rekor yaitu Michael Phelps (perenang), Carl Lewis (pelari), Mark spitz (perenang), Paavo Nurmi (pelari jarak jauh) dan Larysa Latynina (pesenam peraih 9 medali emas).

Michael Fred Phelps, kelahiran Baltimore-AS, berhasil merebut 8 medali emas, memecahkan rekor Mark Spitz yang pernah meraih 7 medali emas pada olimpiade Munchen tahun 1972. Puluhan medali emas selalu ia dapatkan dalam berbagai kompetisi kelas dunia, misalnya World Championships (Yokohama, Jepang 2002), Pan Pacific Championship (Kanada 2006), dan lain sebagainya. Prestasi Phelps menginspirasi kita begitu besar potensi di dalam diri manusia. Bahkan beberapa hal tentang Phelps berikut ini menjadi acuan penting untuk mengeksplorasi potensi tersebut.

Salah satu yang dapat kita teladani dari pemuda usia 23 tahun ini adalah kebiasaan Phelps yang selalu fokus pada aktifitas-aktifitas penting untuk mencapai tujuan. Contohnya Phelps tidak berusaha melakukan sesuatu yang dilakukan orang lain. Sebaliknya, ia hanya fokus untuk terus berlatih dan meningkatkan kemampuannya berenang cepat.

“Saya mengerti jika saya berlatih sekeras mungkin dan melakukan sesuatu yang berbeda, maka saya akan baik-baik saja. Saya senang bertanding sebaik mungkin. Saya dapat mengontrol apa yang saya lakukan dan mempersiapkan diri sebaik mungkin, lalu

Kembalinya Seorang Aktivis

Catatan dari 30 Maret 2012
Siang hari disaat matahari terik membakar Kota Makassar. Tampak air turun dengan derasnya dari gas air mata petugas keamanan dan asap tebal yang membubung tinggi di angkasa dari ban bekas yang dibakar para demonstran. Seperti airmata rakyat yang menangis karena penderitaan dan kabut akan masa depan mereka yang semakin tidak jelas.

Mahasiswa lalu datang atas nama pahlawan untuk menolong, tapi pada kenyataannya jutru menorehkan luka pada sebagian masyarakat. Tak tahu lagi siapa yang akan disalahkan, mahasiswa ataukah pemerintah sepertinya sama saja. Rakyat sama-sama tidak merasa damai, tidak percaya, dan tidak nyaman lagi atas kehadirannya.

Bukan saja mengejutkan burung-burung serta binatang-binatang lain yang tengah tertidur nyenyak dalam pelukan udara dingin, tetapi juga menggetarkan tanah pada tempat-tempat yang dilajuinya.

Begitu cepat manusia ini berlari hingga dalam waktu singkat dia sudah menempuh jarak ratusan tombak. Suara tawanya masih juga terus mengumandang. Di lain saat di ufuk timur merambas sinar terang tanda matahari telah terbit menyembulkan diri. Tanda malam telah berganti dengan siang.

Orang itu hentikan larinya. Dibasahinya mukanya dengan air embun yang menempel pada dedaunan di sekitarnya, Setelah merasakan kesegaran maka dia meneruskan perjalanan kembali. Seperti tadi lagi-lagi berlari sambil mengumbar tawa. Namun sekali ini suara tawanya tidak berlangsung lama.

Belasan perahu tampak berjejer di tepi pasir. Para nelayan sibuk memperbaiki dan membenahi jaring masingmasing untuk persiapan turun ke laut malam nanti.

Suatu hari tiga telur menetas bersamaan dalam rimbun jerami tua di pesawahan desa. Anak-anak ayam itu terlihat begitu cantik dengan bulu kuning halusnya. Tak lama kemudian pak tani pemilik sawah menemukan mereka dan memeliharanya hingga mereka tumbuh besar menjadi ayam-ayam betina yang sehat dan kuat.

Tibalah saat mereka untuk mulai bertelur. Pak tani mulai menyiapkan tempat khusus dan nyaman untuk ayam-ayamnya dan seperti yang diharapkan, ayam-ayampun bertelur.

Ayam pertama saat mulai bertelur, begitu gembira terutama melihat pak tani tersenyum pada telurnya. Namun disayangkan si ayam mulai merasa dimanfaatkan pak tani ketika telur diambil dari kandang. Iapun mogok bertelur.

Pak tani lalu memberikan berbagai macam vitamin dan pakan kesukaan si ayam. Ayam pun mulai bertelur kembali meski sering tersendat-sendat. Pada akhirnya pak tani memutuskan untuk memotong ayam pertama karena ongkos pakan yang lebih tinggi daripada telur yang dihasilkan.

Ayam kedua saat bertelur juga merasa bahagia melihat pak tani tersenyum. Ia merasa jika bertelur, ia menjadi begitu menarik. Maka saat bertelur, ia selalu berkotek untuk menarik perhatian pak tani.
