I have always believed that books are more than just collections of words. For me, reading is a way to see the world through someone else’s eyes. A book can introduce us to places we have never visited, people we have never met, and experiences we may never have in our own lives. Sometimes, a few pages can make us question something we have always believed, and slowly change the way we see the world.

That is why I love books. They do not always give us answers, but they often give us a different perspective. They teach us that there is always more than one side to a story, and that people and life cannot always be judged from what we see on the surface.

Books that changed my whole perspective of life

Apple said its profit increased to $11. 52 billion in its most recent quarter, up nearly a third from the same period a year earlier, showing that the company’s enormous business selling iPhones and other gadgets continues to breeze along.

“Tidak semua di dunia ini dinilai menurut versimu”

Janji, Hal. 117

“Lagipula Tuhan maha pemaaf, Bahar. Kenapa kaumelangkahi Tuhan? Menghukum diri sendiri”

Janji, Hal. 337

 

Why Janji is masterpiece?

Among the books that have profoundly influenced my perspective, Janji by Tere Liye holds a special place. What affected me most was not merely the story itself, but the journey of Bahar, a character whose life challenged the way I understood human nature.

Bahar is far from perfect. He carries anger, makes mistakes, and is shaped by circumstances that are not always within his control. Yet, as his story unfolds, I began to realise that judging someone solely by their mistakes can be deeply unfair. We often see only the surface of another person’s life, while remaining unaware of the experiences, struggles, and reasons that lie beneath it.

Bahar taught me that a person should not be permanently defined by their past. What matters is the courage to acknowledge one’s mistakes, the willingness to change, and the choices one makes afterwards. His journey made me reflect on how easily I can form assumptions about others without knowing the battles they may be facing silently.

Because of Bahar, I began to look at people with greater empathy. I learned that understanding does not necessarily mean excusing someone’s mistakes; rather, it means recognising their humanity before passing judgment. Janji reminded me that everyone deserves the opportunity to grow, and that sometimes, the most meaningful transformation begins with acknowledging who we once were.

Perhaps that is what makes a book truly unforgettable. It is not simply the story you remember, but the perspective you carry with you after the final page. For me, Janji did exactly that. It left me with a quieter, more thoughtful way of looking at people, their mistakes, and their capacity to become better versions of themselves.
