Of 2012

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

So that's my wish for you,and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art,or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever.

- Neil Gaiman

Serat Kalatidha, bait 7
Rangga Warsita - 1860

Amenangi jaman édan
ewuh-aya ing pambudi
mèlu édan nora tahan
yèn tan milu anglakoni
boya keduman mélik
kaliren wekasanipun
dilalah karsa Alah
begja-begjané kang lali
luwih begja kang éling lawan waspada
