Hi
Please consider the famous quotation from the novelist Hermann Hesse:
“Most people...are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters, and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel one defined path: no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path.”
Best Wishes and Many Thanks,
Simon

bagaikan sehelai daun yang gugur
"Kebanyakan orang... adalah bagaikan sehelai daun yang gugur..."
Why bagaikan and gugur?
A direct and bold translation will yield: ... seperti daun yang jatuh. But this is a novel, you need some poetic touch. That's why words that you won't find in everyday use like bagaikan and gugur are here.
Give me some samples of use.
