BeautyFest Asia 2019 ditutup dengan kembalinya Manny MUA ke atas main stage untuk mengisi talkshow di hari terakhir. Kalau sebelumnya Manny lebih membahas seputar beauty trend 2019, kali ini Manny menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang lebih mendalam, mulai dari awal ia menemukan passion di dunia beauty, bagaimana akhirnya bisa menjadi diri sendiri, dan juga seputar karirnya sebagai beauty influencer laki-laki.
Dan dari talkshow ini, Popbela rangkum 7 quotes yang paling menginspirasi, terutama untuk kamu yang masih susah untuk jadi diri sendiri dan masih malu menunjukkan sisi #IAMREAL–mu!
1. “Being who you want to be,and be comfortable with your own skin. People will see that, and it will gravitate towards them.You’ll make them happy being yourself and that’s what has always push me forward.”
Karena kalau kamu nyaman dengan dirimu sendiri, orang lain juga akan merasakan sisi positif yang ada di dirimu, Bela!
2. “To get the long term of happiness, just do what you want to do, not do what people want you to do.”
Jangan sampai apa yang kamu lakukan sekarang hanya karena peer perssure, padahal sebenarnya kamu nggak nyaman dan nggak suka untuk melakukannya.
3. “Always following your path. And if people don’t believe in you, you got to figure away to believe in yourself. Because if you can’t believe in yourself who’s gonna believe in you?”
Masih ragu untuk mengejar mimpi dan passion-mu? Quotes Manny yang ini kena banget kan?
4. “I’d rather have an amazing two friends than 10 of Queens. I want people to really care of me for who I am, not because I’m Manny MUA, that’s what I want.”
Say no to fake life and fake friends! Kalau mereka teman sejati, mereka pasti terima kita apa adanya kok!
5. “Just have a good moral, good standard, do things for a right reason and don't just it for paycheck. Just do it because you actually believe the brand, believe the product.”
Khusus buat kamu yang ingin jadi beauty influencer seperti Manny. Inget-inget hal ini ya, jangan sampai followers kamu jadi terjebak dengan review palsu! Keep honest!
6. “When I first started (the career) out, I felt like I have no one. Because my parents, they don’t support it at that time, I have friends but I wouldn’t talk about this because I was insecure and scared. And for me, it was learning how to self-soothe, and learned how to take care of myself and know that I’m worth it and I’m enough, I had to find it in myself to be able to continue and move forward. Because if I didn’t do that, I won’t be able to be who I am today.”
Sepeti perjalanan Manny, Kamu masih punya waktu untuk mencintai diri sendiri kok, Bela! Asalkan kamu berani untuk memulainya. Let's show your true colors!
7. “Social media is great. But imagine if I live in a world only in social media. When the phone turns off, do I have real life? Nothing! So it’s important to have a real life, and when I get stress, I just want to be with my family, hang out with them and forget my anxiety.”
Karena nggak selamanya kehidupan nyata seindah kehidupan di dunia maya. Kalau kamu justru merasa social media jadi pengaruh buruk untuk hidupmu, nggak salah kok untuk mematikannya sejenak.
8. “How you feel in one moment, is not gonna be how you feel forever. I knew that at the time I was in my lowest, I feel like cr*p but tomorrow is a new day and bad day only lasts for 24 hours."
Manny berpesan untuk nggak overthinking dengan apa yang udah menimpa kita. Bener juga sih, harusnya nggak selamanya kita ngerasain hal jelek terus.
9. "Knowing that there was always could be a better day and I really taking care of myself first, do things with yourself and be okay to be alone, because once I learned how to be okay with being alone, everything is a lot easier for me.”
Belajar dari Manny yang akhirnya bisa mandiri dan nggak bergantung sama orang lain, bahkan untuk mencari kebahagiaan sekalipun.
10. “You cannot change people’s perspective of you, you could only do what you wanna do and hope people will understand. People dont want to believe the truth, they want to proof that their perspective is true. I cant change people’s perspective, all I can do is do the best that i can as Manny, and love my self as who I am. And if people can get behind that, awesome. But if they can’t, who cares?”
Setiap orang pasti punya pemikiran yang beda, dan kita nggak bisa memaksakan untuk jadi sama. So, just keep doing all the positive things that you know it’s right!
