Do you have a grudge?

In an oil mining company in Saudi Arabia, in the late 40s tahuin. A low-level employees, local juvenile native Saudi, thirst, and rushed to find water for watering the dry throat. He was so excited when he saw a look of cold water in front and hasten to fill the cold water into a glass.

Not yet had he drank, his hands stopped by a rebuke: "Hey, you should not drink this water. You're just a lowly worker. Water is special just for engineers" It came from the mouth of an American engineer who worked at the company.

The teen finally just stopped holding thirsty. He knew he only poor children of primary school graduates. Even if there are proud of education, he graduated from the Quran Tahfidz institutions, but that skill is of no value in the oil company that is currently controlled by American management.

Rebuke is always ringing in his head.

He then wonders:  
Why is this happening to me?  
Why a glass of water only forbidden to me?  
Is it because I lowly workers, while their engineers?  
Is if I were an engineer I can drink?  
Whether I could be an engineer like them?
This question has always existed within him.
 
This incident eventually become momentum for him to awaken "revenge POSITIVE"
Finally comes a commitment in itself. Adolescent poor and worked hard during the day and attend school at night. Almost every day he lack of sleep to catch up. Not infrequently the ridicule of friends were received.

Hard work to reach the results. 
He finally graduated from high school. His hard work made the company give him a chance to explore science. He was sent to America to take classes S1 and master of engineering geology. This young man graduated with distinction.

Subsequently he returned to his country and worked as an engineer. Now he has conquered his revenge, returned as an engineer and can drink water that had banned him.

Was it at that. No, his career racing continues.  
He has been trained to work hard and catch up, in the work of his career following any other. His career jumped from the head section, branch chief, the general manager until he served as deputy director, a top job that can be achieved by local people at that time. There are interesting incident when he was the vice president. American engineer who used to throw him out, now it became subordinates.

One day the American engineers came to this because they want to ask permission off and said, "I want to ask permission of the holiday. I hope you do not link the occurrence of water in the past with this official work. I hope you do not take revenge, for my rudeness and bad behavior in the past " 

What said the former deputy director of the lowly workers of this: "I want to thank you from the deepest depths of my heart because you forbid me to drink at that time. Yes I used to hate you. But, after the permission of Allah, you is because my success until I achieve this success."

Now the other positive revenge already defeated.
So whether the story here? No. Finally, it occupies a lowly ex-employees of the highest positions in the company. He became the first president who came from Arab nations.

Did you know what companies they lead? The company is Aramco (Arabian American Oil Company) the world's largest oil company. Hand the company is getting bigger and more dominant ownership of Saudi Arabia. These firms now produce 3.4 million barrels (540 million m3) and controls more than 100 oil and gas fields in Saudi Arabia, with total reserves of 264 billion barrels (4.20 × 1010 m3) of oil and 253 trillion gas reserves. For his achievements, he was appointed King of Saudi Arabia to serve as Minister of Petroleum and Minerals that have a huge influence on the world.

Did the story of who this is? This is the story of Ali bin Ibrahim Al-Naimi that since 1995 till now (2011) served as Minister of Petroleum and Minerals Saudi Arabia.

Imagine, only by developing a positive insult to revenge, a glass of water issues in the past, shaping it into one of the most influential rulers of oil worldwide.

That's the power of "revenge POSITIVE"
We can not regulate how others behave toward us. We never know how things will befall us. But we fully have control of what to do.
Would like destroyed it?  
Or get up in the spirit of "revenge Positive."

How is Your Image in the Community, Family, Friends?

Middle-aged couple came to the lobby of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Already some hotels they visited, and this seems the last hope. Especially when it rained hard, so not many more options for their shelter.

"All the big hotels in this city have been filled, can you give us a room alone ..?" the man asked the hotel staff, half hope.


"All the rooms have been full because there are 3 major event that simultaneously held in this city," replied the clerk, "but I can not possibly ask you both going to rain out there at one o'clock in the morning like this," he continued. 


Then the officer asked, "Would you both sleep in my room? Not fancy, but good enough for the rest." Eventually the couple was sleeping overnight in his sleeping room employees and the employees sleep sober. The couple are very grateful to the employees.


The next day, before parting, the old man said to the clerk, "People like you should be the leader of America's finest hotels. Because you do your work with a willing heart to serve. Maybe one day I will build a hotel for you." Employees of the hotel was just a big smile to hear the old man, and they parted.


Approximately two years later, the employee receives a letter containing a ticket to New York, a request that he be living a middle-aged couple who had to help. After arriving in New York, middle-aged man was a hotel employee took it to the corner of 5th Avenue and 34th Street. There he pointed to a remarkable new building grand and say, "That's the hotel that I wake up to you to manage." 


Know who these employees?
A hotel employee was George Charles Boldt, now known as the leading hospitality business. His career racing since he was entrusted to manage the hotel owned by a man who never permitted to stay in his room.


Did anyone middle-aged man on his help?
He was William Waldorf Astor, owner of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel chain, which is one of the best hotel chain in the world.


This story shows us, a little kindness can change the future.
There is no reason for not doing good.


Often we assume we do not have the capital to do business but is it? Capital not only money, but trust and credibility is capital that can not be underestimated. Even bigger than financial capital.


A good is an investment.
Though do not expect self-interest, because any good will be rewarded by God, but not infrequently also directly bear fruit sweet goodness in the world. George Charles Boldt already proved. Credibility is also important capital.


we can also see the story of Conrad Hilton.  

After getting fired from his employment, he could build the hotel because he had credibility. People trust him so that he could easily borrow money whose value is 4 times of its wealth. If he does not invest into people who can be trusted, how could people want to invest in the new Hilton lost sources of income.

Often we hear people complain: "Find capital hard!" "Where there are people willing to invest to me!"


The question:
Is all this time he has built image as someone who can reliably manage the capital ?
So do not just complain when there is no capital. Good investment as much as possible from now. Build credibility and trust. Because there is any goodness of seeds in return.
We never know how good will help us in the future, but we can be sure every good there is value.
Investment is in goodness.

Do not be quick to Judge Something

story below is a true story that we can learn from him. Please refer to and take the silver lining: 

This story happens in Beijing China, a girl named Yo Yi Mei have a hidden love of her closest friends in the school. But he never reveal it, he just always keep in our hearts and hopes his friend can find out yourself. But unfortunately his friend was never to know, just take it as a friend, nothing more.

He commented on the plan that best friend invitation. Her friend smiled "Oh yes, ummm, I'm replacing it, thank you for suggesting May, I had to go meet my future wife, today we have plans to see see home furnishings ... bye. Yi May smiled, waved his hand, his heart is sick.

18 July 1994 Yi Mei lying in a hospital, he fell into a coma, Yi Mei end-stage blood cancer. Small hope Yi Mei for life, all his organs are functioning just hearing, and brain, others can be said to "die" and all have the tools, only a miracle can cure. Her best friend visit her every day, waiting for him, he even postponed his wedding. For him
Yi Mei is important guest in her marriage.
Yi Mei own family agreed to give "Injection is Dead" to Yi Mei because it could not bear to see suffering Yi Mei.

December 10, 1994, all families agreed tomorrow December 11, 1994,

She whispered in his ear closer Yi Mei, "Mei what you remember when we were looking for grasshoppers, butterflies catch butterflies? ...

"," Do you remember well when I fun of, you fell in the mud when you're coming race, you're angry and pushed me until I too dirty? ... Do you remember me always to do homework at your house? ...

Yi Mei. Yi Mei fingers could move, his heart, his lungs, his body organs to work, It's a miracle! Parties medical contact Yi Mei and notify the family wonders what happened. And a miracle again ... time passed ... coma.

on the date December 11, 1994, when
Yi Mei be able to open his eyes and spoke, his friend was there, he embraced Yi Mei, crying happily, very amazed by the miracle doctor what happened. "I'm glad you could wake up, you're best friend."

"Lei, I beg do not leave me, I love you so much." Lei, Yi Mei hug, "I love you too".
February 17, 1995, May & Lei Yi married, live happily and up to this time the couple has a male child who was 14 years old. This story was appalling Beijing. What lessons from this story?


Love is a miracle.


Power of Love ... Yes it is a much-discussed discussed in internet. But, I just want to take another viewpoint. What I want to convey?


ASSUMPTION and COMMUNICATION
How many people suffer from life just because these two things, wrong and wrong RESPONSE TO COMMUNICATION.


Do not argue over before ATTEMPT RESULTS. I am afraid submit manuscripts, fear of rejection ... I was afraid to ask the publisher for a raise, later deemed not know myself ... I am afraid propose to her later rejected ... I was afraid of losing the race later ...


Do not think of another person HEART. Do not assume for other people's thoughts. Search first, not to just because alleged to sacrifice themselves. Do not be afraid to RAISE what is in the heart or mind, do COMMUNICATION.


Your work is never a pay rise, but long. Your boss expects understanding but no reaction. Your first bachelor ago, married salaries do not rise as well. You hope the boss sense but still not rising wages. Then you've got kids, cost of living increases. You hope the boss sense but still not rising wages. Finally, your salary is not increasing. On the other hand, your boss pays you feel pretty expensive for bachelor employees. When you get married, the boss feels your salary is quite big for young couples. Moreover, assume your boss is married with a spouse whose income, so your life more prosperous. When you have kids, you do not ask for a raise and keep the spirit of work, so the boss thinks you've had enough. Your boss thinks for a salary raise was not asked, why should you bother to raise the salary. Walah.


The key is COMMUNICATION. Communicate DESIRE, Feeling, and THOUGHT you well at home, at work, at school, anywhere. COMMUNICATE far better than assumed. Maybe after COMMUNICATION results can be good or not in line with expectations. But at least we do not live in the clouds. If you have optimal uses COMMUNICATIONS force, probably would give better results and make your life easier.

Are you pretty sensitive to your child, your family or friends?

The true story in America this might be a lesson for you.

A beautiful little baby just born and made his parents very happy. The husband and wife were so eager to fill the days with their little girl. But what power, even though so much love is given, the baby did not show much respect for his parents. At the age of one year has not established good communication between the child and both parents. At the age of two infants, were often ignored the ban on parents.
At the age of three years the baby was still ignoring the advice of their parents until the parents label him as a child 'naughty' hard-advised. But in this third year is also the parents finally realized their mistake.


A FATAL MISTAKE that.


Do you know what's wrong?
Apparently during the 3-year old man does not know that their child was deaf.
Yes, at the age of 3 years but only recently recognized that the baby was deaf. So far the baby is not ignoring the elderly, but did not hear anything.


Can you imagine that?
I do not know how it could happen, but if parents believe the child's little that there was something underneath the child disobedience, may issue more quickly detected.


Another story also happened in Indonesia.

There's a kid who works piss continue. When traveling, just piss on this petrol station and request urinate again at another petrol station. He was already 7 years but could not hold urine is more severe than baby boy.
His parents were sometimes annoyed to see her son who always pee so make cars stop frequently stop by just to go to the toilet. This happens quite often. 

Until finally it was too late.
Apparently the children diagnosed with diabetes, and being late is known, The child eventually died.
If only parents could believe that what is felt the child is correct, if only parents believe there is something wrong, not on his son, but on condition, likely will make no difference.


Yes, prejudice either in person / child, can make us decide something with more precise.
Sometimes we see people / children learning lazy, lazy lazy to work or school, then we say he is the person / child lazy. And maybe he was a victim of abuse of his friends at school or at work to lose the spirit of learning / working. So in this case the problem of abuse (discrimination in schools) in the workplace that must be resolved not by hitting the child if you do not learn or
discriminate people who are lazy to work.

So every time someone raises a problem, then our task is to detect an integral what had happened. Sometimes what we see as the cause, is a result rather than cause. So make sure we address the problem of source masalahanya not a result of its derivatives. 


This applies not only in parenting but in life overall. Discover the source of the problem, then we could solve the problem.


People used to say
"There is no smoke if there is no fire"
So we exhaust smoke as good as any he will continue to appear unless the flame is turned off.

What is Your opinion about My Name Is Khan?

You already know, the movie Avatar in terms of income is the most successful films of all time sales, U.S. $ 1.841 billion (Rp 18 trillion) within six weeks. Film animation CGI (Computer generated imagery), this best-selling record in history to defeat the invincible during the 13 years that the movie Titanic. Remarkably both the Titanic and Avatar both are the work of James Cameron. This means that managed to beat the record of James Cammeron during the teenage years is James Cameron himself.

The film was the American rule for several weeks.
But after long being at the top, this movie finally shifted weekly sales as well. Know what movie that managed to shift the weekly income Avatar? 

It was the movie My Name is Khan.
This film managed to dominate the top in America and Britain for some time.
Why? 

Of course, since this movie was phenomenal.

Indeed the film is not as entertaining Three Idiot but the message contained in it was very deep, and the mission that brought this film truly great and noble (There is a debate which is better between the Three Idiot or My Name is Khan).

Perhaps no other film that has this big mission for world peace and inter-religious harmony.
More and more people are watching and inspired this film, the re-created inter-religious harmony in the world.
There are words that are very interesting from this film:
The world was divided between BC (Before Christ) or BCE (BC) and AD (Anno Domini - AD), but the world is now divided into before 9 / 11 and after 9 / 11.
Since the incidence of terrorist attacks on the WTC on 9 / 11 world is not the same anymore. Suspicion, hatred and prejudice to haunt the world, and Khan is one of the victims.

Khan was the son born to Muslim families in India.
Khan grew when there were riots between Hindus and Muslims in India. At that time, thousands of Indian Muslims were slaughtered and some of course do resistance, which also took the lives of the Hindus.
To generate compassion among humans, the Khan who auitis mother thrusting two images. One picture a man hitting another person and one person who gave candy to others. Khan said that the good is that giving candy and evil is a hit with wood.

Then her mother asked. Which is where the Hindu Muslim? Khan could not see the difference between them.
The mother told me, that's human. What distinguishes good people are good and bad deeds. Since then Khan always wanted to be a good person. As we know, most people with autism have particular strengths in one area. Einstain maybe one of them, and Khan also another example.

Khan has the expertise fix anything, so that all knew him as an expert repair of all equipment.
Long story short Khan eventually migrated to America, following a successful younger brother there. Many of the problems they experienced while in America he is a person with autism especially.
But the match did not go. Khan eventually found a woman who eventually falls in love with her. A young widow of Indian descent who has a son named Shameer. They eventually married.
These ladies are Hindus so that interfaith marriage is strongly opposed his brother.
But the two lovebirds eventually get married too, and his wife with his son to use Khan's clan name, which is a family clan of Muslims in India.

Then it happened that surprising.
WTC twin building was hit by a terrorist group that killed thousands of lives.
(I agree to use the word 'terrorist' for perpetrators of 9 / 11 because whoever is the perpetrator, for whatever reason, there is absolutely no justification in religion. Action was anyone who did it has made the Islamic da'wah movements and inter-religious harmony back several years.)

Genesis 9 / 11 turned out to also affect the life of Khan.
And the worst is, these events are not directly make Shameer Khan, who now bears the name of Muslims became victims of fatal violence.

Khan's wife was devastated and eventually blame Khan.

The wife felt that if only Shameer not use the name of Islam may not be a victim.

The wife swore Khan would not meet until he can deliver messages directly to the American president that he (Khan) is not a terrorist,
Khan finally left his wife with only one mission,
meet directly with the American president and said;
"My Name is Khan. And I'm not a terrorist!"

This is where the real core of this story begins.

Travel around the American search for an autistic timetable that the president certainly is not easy. Events for preristiwa experienced. And the events that we will learn a lot about tolerance, harmony, mutual mengharagai and love are universal. Almost all sides were caught in this story.

There is a scene they experienced discrimination
There are cases of Muslim women who opened the hijab since 9 / 11.
There are examples of hard-line Muslims who pro teroisme.
There are also Christians who welcome the presence of Khan in the church.
There is a group of Muslims who work together to help the Christians who experienced the disaster.

Anyway, lots of touching scenes that made us think how important harmony and mutual respect for one another. This film will provide a very valuable lesson about the importance of tolerance and harmony. There are drawbacks?

When I saw some comments some of his fellow Muslims on facebook, I see many are disappointed with the decision mulslim Khan married a Hindu woman in the story. But I think that's where the red thread of this story? Because this is fiction, fine. Without this inter-religious marriages will not be strong this story.

I did not say what the Khan, is in conformity Islamic religion, but I want to say is as long as we can learn from someone, take a lesson as much as possible. If there is that we do not like, so do not be imitated.
One might make a mistake but that does not mean everything else go wrong did so. If there are other shortcomings, acting actor Shahrukh Khan as autism, of course, a direct comparison with Tom Hanks in Forest Gum which won the Oscar, and it is definitely hard to match the acting of Tom Hanks who has won two oscar. 

What do you think that already watch it?

Despite all the controversial film is very inspiring for anyone who witnessed it. It seems that this film is a form of protest that Khan also personally been detained at the airport in the United States during a visit to the land of Uncle Sam. Some say that the basis for detention become Muslim.

Indian public protests because it considers the incident did not appreciate America a respected figure in India.

Do not waste time movies that are not qualified, reserving 3 hours that will give the former in the next life.
