Seorang wanita yang mengenakan gaun pudar menggandeng suaminya yang berpakaian sederhana dan usang, turun dari kereta api di Boston, dan berjalan dengan malu-malu menuju kantor Pimpinan Harvard University. Mereka meminta janji.
Sang sekretaris Universitas langsung mendapat kesan bahwa mereka adalah orang kampung, udik, sehingga tidak mungkin ada urusan di Harvard dan bahkan mungkin tidak pantas berada di Cambridge.
“Kami ingin bertemu Pimpinan Harvard”, kata sang pria lembut. “Beliau hari ini sibuk,” sahut sang Sekretaris cepat. “Kami akan menunggu,” jawab sang Wanita.
Selama 4 jam sekretaris itu mengabaikan mereka, dengan harapan bahwa pasangan tersebut akhirnya akan patah semangat dan pergi. Tetapi nyatanya tidak. Sang sekretaris mulai frustrasi, dan akhirnya memutuskan untuk melaporkan kepada sang pemimpinnya.
“Mungkin jika Anda menemui mereka selama beberapa menit, mereka akan pergi,” katanya pada sang Pimpinan Harvard. Sang pimpinan menghela nafas dengan geram dan mengangguk. Orang sepenting dia pasti tidak punya waktu untuk mereka.
Dan ketika dia melihat dua orang yang mengenakan baju pudar dan pakaian usang diluar kantornya, rasa tidak senangnya sudah muncul.
Sang Pemimpin Harvard, dengan wajah galak menuju pasangan tersebut.
Sang wanita berkata padanya, “Kami memiliki seorang putra yang kuliah tahun pertama di Harvard. Dia sangat menyukai Harvard dan bahagia di sini. Tetapi setahun yang lalu, dia meninggal karena kecelakaan. Kami ingin mendirikan peringatan untuknya, di suatu tempat di kampus ini. bolehkah?” tanyanya, dengan mata yang menjeritkan harap.
Sang Pemimpin Harvard tidak tersentuh, wajahnya bahkan memerah. Dia tampak terkejut. “Nyonya,” katanya dengan kasar, “Kita tidak bisa mendirikan tugu untuk setiap orang yang masuk Harvard dan meninggal. Kalau kita lakukan itu, tempat ini sudah akan seperti kuburan.”
“Oh, bukan,” Sang wanita menjelaskan dengan cepat, “Kami tidak ingin mendirikan tugu peringatan. Kami ingin memberikan sebuah gedung untuk Harvard.”
Sang Pemimpin Harvard memutar matanya. Dia menatap sekilas pada baju pudar dan pakaian usang yang mereka kenakan dan berteriak, “Sebuah gedung?! Apakah kalian tahu berapa harga sebuah gedung?! Kalian perlu memiliki lebih dari 7,5 juta dolar hanya untuk bangunan fisik Harvard.”
Untuk beberapa saat sang wanita terdiam. Sang Pemimpin Harvard senang. Mungkin dia bisa terbebas dari mereka sekarang.
Sang wanita menoleh pada suaminya dan berkata pelan, “Kalau hanya sebesar itu biaya untuk memulai sebuah universitas, mengapa tidak kita buat sendiri saja?”
Suaminya mengangguk. Wajah sang Pemimpin Harvard menampakkan kebingungan. Mr. dan Mrs. Leland Stanford bangkit dan berjalan pergi, melakukan perjalanan ke Palo Alto, California, di sana mereka mendirikan sebuah Universitas yang menyandang nama mereka, sebuah peringatan untuk seorang anak yang tidak lagi diperdulikan oleh Harvard.
Universitas tersebut adalah Stanford University, salah satu universitas favorit kelas atas di AS.
Kita, seperti pimpinan Harvard itu, acap silau oleh baju, dan lalai. Padahal, baju hanya bungkus, apa yang disembunyikannya, kadang sangat tak ternilai. Jadi, janganlah kita selalu abai, karena baju-baju, acap menipu.

LYRIC: THE ONLY EXCEPTION - PARAMORE
When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist
But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm
Content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Ohh---
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist
But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm
Content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Ohh---
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing

LYRIC: YOU RAISE IN ME - HILLARY DUFF
Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is just you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
Took this moment to my dreams
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me
Someone's watching over me
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is just you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
Took this moment to my dreams
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me
Someone's watching over me
I Don't Love You Lyrics
I Don't Love You Lyrics: "My Chemical Romance I Don't Love You lyrics in the Black Parade Album. These I Don't Love You lyrics are performed by My Chemical Romance Well, when you go Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay And maybe when you get back I'll be off to find another"
LYRIC: I DON'T LOVE YOU- MCR
Well, when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way
And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay
And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whooa
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Well come on, come on
When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way
And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay
And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whooa
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Well come on, come on
When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
