Let's Learn from Animals Such as a Termite

"Sir, in the middle bookcase there was termites!" At least that brief information I received from one of the staff, when we're cleaning up the office. "OK, I'll check. You see him there or just termite nest?" I am trying to trace as far as the matter further. "Look sir, there was termites!"


SOS ... SOS ... SOS  

When I heard his information there are termites, I immediately thought this would be a big problem. Yes, because my relatives who do business in the field of furniture once said, if there is termite wood furnishings him should all the parts removed or it will spread everywhere. Right then I immediately decided to look at. After I see at a glance, it appears there was a small mound of the termite nest in the middle cabinet. Then I started to pull the books that lined the middle cabinet. Apparently the rear has been eaten by termites and damaged most of the book has become a nest of termites.

Then I saw a book on it turned out the same fate. I decided bookcase middle-discarded and burned, including his books. Then I saw a cupboard on the right hand was eaten by termites also have been destroyed, but from the front there is absolutely no visible termite nest. Then I saw his left chest, was also a victim. The result of termite attack are three bookcases discarded and burned, hundreds of books also had to be removed and burned. Though the cabinet is new 3 months ago settled.


It turns out that looks small termite problem, only a few centimeters mounds that are visible, only a few symptoms of the major problems are hidden. From this incident I was learning about life.


Actually most of the problems that we face only a small part of a bigger problem. Problems at the front of the eye may be only a symptom, not disease. If we do not find the big problem (illness), then we will be stuck problem forever. The problem that we see in front of the eye may be greater than we think.


In social life for example. We met with officials of corruption. In simple it seems, corruption occurs because of small salaries, so that if the salary is increased there is no corruption. It turned out great salaried officials were also involved corruption. That is, corruption is a phenomenon that has spread everywhere. The main problem is not just a small salary, but also law enforcement, social justice, faith, morality, tolerance, sportsmanship, and many things associated with it. So to cure must be addressed comprehensively.


In parenting for example. There are children who value a bad lesson. Her parents have entered the child and private courses but did not improve. Apparently after it investigated the problem of children being disturbed his concentration because parents often heard a commotion. Or was at school he has always been a victim of bullies (senior abuse). So masalahanya not just kids who are lazy but there is a larger agenda that it faces. If we are wrong detection, the problem is not finished.


In business, too. We can lose clients just because a small problem. There is a story of big companies lose clients just because the giants have a rude phone operators. Originally the company thought the operators only need a little practice, the company was not aware that the operator is spearheading the company to end up losing big clients.


Detecting a problem with the right, saw the problem as part of a larger problem is the key to solve the problem in an integral. Let's hope we are not lulled into view when a small problem, because most small problem is the outside view of the substantial hidden problems.

How do you respond to an issue that is around you?

There is a strange incident in a hospital ICU. Every Friday morning in the same room, regardless of patient illness, regardless of sex, regardless of age, always patient died. All the drugs examined, all diagnoses studied, all equipment is checked, and looked fine.  
But why does every Friday morning there was always this incident. To the extent that the hospital staff began to believe there are supernatural forces are in action every Friday morning. Finally, the hospital established a team dedicated to researching this room. There are 2 doctors, 1 nurse, a security officer, as well as a supernatural expert on guard to see what actually happens every Friday morning. They were joined in the team is also concerned with supernatural events what might they see, their mouths do not stop reading the prayers.

Dawn has just passed, but no events nothing. At 6 am, sunrise, team members are still waiting and hiding, but nothing happened apa.Pukul 7 am the door open .... There was a step into the room ... Apparently a part-time janitor in to clean the room. A headset attached to his ear, he whistled a song to listen to rebound from the music player in his Hp. He immediately set to work. He started with breathing assistance device unplug from the wall socket and replace it with a cable outlet for vacuum cleaner. With his relaxed clean room, whistling. The case came to light, this strange occurrence indeed occurred since the partimer started working a few weeks ago.


Humor and wisdom,

this story just intermezo, certainly does not happen in the real world. So sorry for the doctors and hospitals, the setting was chosen because it's easier depiction.

Create the faithful believe in the supernatural is part of faith, but too easy to trust a strange incident occurred because the supernatural can be a form of stupidity. Believe in things unseen, especially related to the bizarre incident, should not be at the expense of logic and common sense. If there is a strange thing then easily we believe it is supernatural, then we will be stuck in a real ignorance. There are people who easily change the name because of a sickly child and hold (Though he should really check thoroughly what the child's diagnosis illness). There are simply going to work hard to search for shaman because (Though he should fix the cover letter and completeness). A longer trend, many of which mengforward SMS or email for fear of harm befall him if not mengforward (chain letters). And many other examples.


Now, time for us to better appreciate the logic and not necessarily easy to assume everything that is not obvious as a form of supernatural.


If there is no clear sound, taste is not obvious, first look for the explanation, do not immediately say, kayakya no supernatural beings. Make the parents and the adult, not too easy to say these things supernatural or afraid of ghosts, especially in front of the children, later cowards ghost culture would not be completed due to come down from generation to generation.


Real Story of the climb, There's the story of a group of nature lovers who climb on Mount Bromo (Indonesia). It was already night. Then there's the intersection. The problem is one way of saying there is often a tiger through the (at that time not yet considered extinct Javan tiger.) While the road again even more closely he says often there is a ghost. Finally, most choose to pass the course to be far away, even though there may be a tiger, than a shorter distance for fear of a ghost. Can not you imagine? This is a real incident and struck a group of macho and brave climbers. The logic is lost due to unwarranted fears.


Anyway, need not be considered again the issue of ghosts, Spending time, energy and damage the faith

How Do You Convey Your Argument?

A beggar came pleaded in a rich man "asking for money, sir" "I don't have small money!," Protested the rich. "Money is great also be sir" "I have no money," said the rich upset. "Then, I'm eating, sir" "I also have no food '" replied the angry rich. This time the voices of beggars change confidently. "Mr. join me!" "Where?" asked the rich wonder. "We are begging together, sir. I'll teach. You do not have the money and not have to eat, I am sorry for you sir. I have little money still remained. I'll buy food for you !"???

Humor and wisdom.  

Sometimes we often underestimate the listener. Because we underestimate our speaker, do not use proper logic to our words. As a result, our arguments boomerang.

Choosing a brief word to argue is one skill that will help you. At least you can save time and make your ideas accepted people.


The rich really just want to say that he did not want to love charity. Maybe because he does not like people begging or she assumes that the beggar begging for lazy work. Legitimate. Indeed, sometimes we see a beggar is a worthy but there's also helped that looks should not ask-minta. But if it does not want to give, to select words or gestures that are effective, not to reject it makes us even how to look stupid, like a rich person above . If you want to refuse, just say sorry. If you are still forced to, say sorry again a little harder. If you are still forced, then the beggar is not to beg but to force, you may call it.

The core of this paper is, do not underestimate the listener. whoever they are. Do not underestimate the logic of a child. Do not underestimate the logic of class brother. Do not dismiss a new employee. Just do not underestimate the intellect of others, whoever they are. A lot of people who appear to be low and poor, sebenarmya they are candidates for great people who are still in the process of maturation. If we underestimate others, then we will issue a sober argument. The argument pickup close to the error. And it could be a boomerang that embarrass us.

Don't let your Child's talent and intelligence to be buried

During a lecture I know an elementary school child who is very creative and intelligent.
The indication, every time I give a challenge brain challenge game, he almost always able to conquer it, even though the first time to see the game. Though not a few friends of students who failed to conquer the brain game.

Brain games are often used also to check the IQ test,and I'll bet the boy's intelligence above average.
At that time I thought, this kid has tremendous potential and its future will be bright. Imagine, students can be defeated only when the elementary school.

Fifteen years later I met again with the child. He is no longer a child. He was already stepping over twenty years. From the story, I knew he had graduated high school but not college and already working.
Did what work?
He worked as a security guard at a small company with a very small salary because there is no other place that will accept work.

Tragic is not it?
Yes, if only the child is guided well, maybe a brighter future.
Or if his family is rich, maybe a different story.
Or maybe, if the child had a bigger dream,
looking for the right association, his fate would be better.
But I do not want to think in question, it's nobody.

I am more interested to see this as self-reflection.
Realize the story of these children actually represent the majority of us. Many people around us like this, looks so great in childhood, and so does anyone in the future.
Maybe even ourselves, too.

Why can people who have so much potential in the past ended up being a nobody? Many causes.
Maybe we surrender to the circumstances that do not support.
Maybe we're quick to surrender. Maybe we do not consider ourselves to have potential. And so many possibilities.

But the only one who can explain why we live comfortably mediocre. Since we are already comfortable with the excuse that we make to live mediocre.
Excuse the same as we've legitimized our failures.

If the child does not make his poverty,ignorance as an excuse her parents she might be bigger.
If we are not fettered excuse, maybe we are bigger than now.

Therefore, stop making excuse, No Excuse!
With the spirit of No Excuse, we can achieve anything we want.
Greetings.

Gather Your Courage For a Better Life

In a private coaching session writing Thesis and Scientific Work, some friends have always said that his research could not be due to not perfect. His writing is not finished finished as incomplete. I told them, do not wait for perfect, since there is no such thing as perfect. There is always a better way of things.
Maybe you say your thesis is complete, it was perfect. Next year you will read again we find a lot of shortcomings.

So if you want to write, so write it down. Complete.

I remember, a lot of acquaintances who do not want to become entrepreneurs because it was not ready when funds exist.

Some feel his rudimentary knowledge about the business. I say, if you wait for perfect, then when you decide to become entrepreneurs, then you already feel perfect, and when it felt it was perfect just shows you guys are not perfect.

So, start it, finish it.
If you want to start a business waiting for it all ready, might not do business.
If you want to join the waiting race ready, might not join the race.

Direct ACTION.
ACTION is the road to perfection (read: repair).
Not the other way, waiting for perfection, then ACTION
If you wait for perfect, could have been will never ACTION.
Moreover PERFECTION belongs only to God.

Let's take an example a figure Oprah ..

"Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place it leads Nowhere." Erica Jong 

"You never know how a horse will from the pull Until you hook uterus to a heavy load." Paul Bryant, American football coach


Successful people and people fail, most in fact both have doubts on what's new, new job or a new field. But what distinguishes?


Successful people dare to try. They brave one, dare to fail and they want to learn from mistakes or failures, and work hard and develop the ability to correct errors. There will never be Oprah Winfrey's show when Oprah had never tried the first opportunity to hold talk show even though he had hesitated.


Never refuse an opportunity not only because he felt sure she could do it. If there is a good chance, try first, if fails try again. There are other opportunities, try also. A time will come the best opportunities that make you a great and extraordinary. Especially if all it takes is courage and sincerity to try, without the risk of cost.

Do You Already Have Evolved in this Life?

A young man stopped a taxi in the street and immediately climbed into the backseat.

After the door closed, the driver asked, "Where are you going sir?" "I do not know?" the young man replied calmly. 


"Then I have to do?" asked the driver. "It's up to you, which is important I pay, replied the youth.
What happens next?


Driver only just spinning, spinning round continues until finally the driver fatigue and do not know the direction. After hours of spinning, the driver finally returned to the youth rose, and silent for a long time. Argo is still running. Then the young man out and pay the entire cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars to be in the place of origin?


The young man spent time and money without moving anywhere.


Who is the young man?


The young man is a picture of us who do not have a purpose in life? If we do not have a purpose in life, and make the journey of life,
then it is probable that we returned to that direction only.
 
Many people who felt it had a purpose in life. But actually there in that way only.

Since our little school. Every year the goal attempt to the next grade so he could attend school. Then learn more, so the next grade and can continue their education. Then go to college and so on.


When asked to what school, then the answer "in order to find work," It's that simple huh?
Then asked what the purpose of employment. The answer so I can eat. It's that simple huh?
Then have children, children sent to school, the goal in order to work, I'll be able to eat. And so on.
Apparently they go through life, but there is no value added. That's it.


If life is only to be able to eat or survival (surviving), and all the things done in life just to be able to eat or survive, then what is the difference between humans and animals?


Hopefully we are not including people who live just to live.
Hopefully we are not including people who live just spinning so-so alone, because there is no clear objective would be brought where we live.
Hopefully we do not include people who fill his life with the vanity?

Silence is golden? Not really

someone asks, What is "Silence is golden"? Now whether you agree silence is golden?  
Of course depending on circumstances. If we make the score 0-3, the score was still only between 0 and 1 only because there is a higher value than silence is saying there are good and higher than said both the ACTION good / positive.

What is worse than silent is to say under the said bad and bad is another action that is bad.


That created the table might be like this, the highest score Level 3: Action (change things for the better by hand or deeds). Second highest level the score 2: Suggesting / warning (to change things for the better with oral). Level into a single score 1: Silent but in her heart to save the anger or resentment positively to change. Level zero score 0: Silence is absolutely no reaction, let go (sincerely not in place - willing to ugliness).


Level minus 1: Silent but be silent but agree with the ugliness of (pro ugliness). Level minus 2: Using verbal for evil (Well at this level the words "will say good or better still" can be applied. Level minus 3 (the lowest): To do bad, bad support or become agents of harm.


Quite obvious right? Well how about practice in the field? Did you ever go to the toilet a large shopping center is small, so remote jostling? If all the visitors still do not have a protest to the management of the mall is not going to fix the toilet facilities. But if every visitor after urination complaints, at least think the mall management to improve facilities. Unfortunately most of the visitors was only silence. Silence like this that his name was not sincere in place, the patient is off the mark application.


Talk without science is also dangerous. Did you hear Miss Universe event closed twitter account? He said, let's pray for the Koreans, I hope the two countries in China this could be peaceful. He abused because they do not know Korea was two different countries and not in China. Imagine the right thing could be a problem. Miss Universe was shy and closed Twitter.


The important thing now is, where you want to put yourself. When he saw evil you choose quiet, submissive? Or choose to speak or write for improvement? Or choose a positive action with the power that you have? If silence is golden, then speak well maybe pearls, and positive action is DIAMOND.

Did you make the world more special just by being there

"Some people make the world more special only by being in it"  

Have you ever seen or read it too?

Yes, a baby making the world a more beautiful, even if the baby has not done anything, they make her mother happy father. Grandfather, grandmother happy, uncle, aunt happy. We are happy to see him, hear his presence alone was cheerful big family.


Do you realize, most of us have that much power when the babies. Just imagine, we can not talk, can make people laugh. We can not make people happy at work already.


It proves that our childhood, even before it could do nothing, already has the ability to make others happy, make the world more cheerful. Logically, after the added capability it should be more capable of happy people, right?



Better able to make the world a more cheerful is not it? And what about the situation now?

Is it after we are happy we can talk to more people or just the opposite?


Do as we work we give more benefit to others?


Humans and their existence is divided into 3 main parts;
The first group (positive): When there is a good effect, when nothing in the long-awaited and his whereabouts.

The second group (Neutral): There is or no, just the same.  
Third Group (Negative): When there is a bad influence, when no make people happy.

At what point are you?


In any profession, under any circumstances, the placement of this group apply.


Although sometimes there are people who in the family into the first category but the association into the second group or vice versa, etc..


There are employees that if he had no office so chaotic. Everything goes wrong when he comes. Everything always goes wrong for him doing so wrong. People like this will be useful if consistently anywhere.


But there are employees who come always late and often do not ask permission to enter because of various reasons. What happened? The official position itself into the second group. Exist or not exist at saja.Akhirnya company employees are familiar with the non-existence, and consequently rendered useless because he was fired.


What's worse is that his employees are not clear, but always inciting other employees or create not so comfortable working atmosphere.


There are children who always make the parents happy.
When dad came home tired, met this boy so cheerful, father or mother is a fight if there are children to be peaceful. But there are also children who when at home always make a riot and make dizzy elderly people. Against children have parents who are frustrated and choose to send children to boarding school.


There are people who if he existed, the environment around so uncomfortable, threatened and intimidated. Obviously this is a kind of third person. Examples of the most vulgar is the prison. Prison is where the most extreme for the third group.


Just ask yourself, get into the group where you are.


In the family?  

At the office?  
In the neighborhood?

If you are there, whether people feel more comfortable? Are people more happy if you do not exist? Or do you have and no, just the same?

Do not Cry, Keep going !!!

Everyone must have failed.
So what differentiates successful people who do not?
Successful people are those who can take as much as possible the positive side of a failure.
Successful people see obstacles as challenges, which can strengthen their identity.
Thomas Alva Edison considers thousands of trials they experienced only as a process, not a failure. Likewise, Abraham Lincoln, Michael Jordan, etc..


"Failure does not mean God has abandoned you. He has a better plan."
Dr. Robert Schuller

"If one thing fails despite carefully planned, carefully organized, and implemented with full awareness, a failure that often shows something that is not visible, namely the opportunity."
Peter Drucker

 
"I never failed a test, I just found 100 ways that one."
Benjamin Franklin


Sometimes fail to provide something better In some cases, even failure to actually provide better results.
See the story of Christopher Columbus, Spanish explorers who sailed the oceans to India turned out to stray into the United States. From Europe's failure to recognize this fact and created a new continent a new history whose influence we feel today.


Perhaps the story of Frank Slazak This will give you inspiration:


Frank Slazak have a dream to fly into space. But he did not have what it takes. He has no degree, and not a pilot. However, nothing happened. White House announced the search for ordinary citizens to participate in space shuttle flight and the citizens it is a teacher. Frank is an ordinary citizen and a teacher. That day he also sent a cover letter to Washington.


Every day she looked in the mailbox, until finally an official envelope bearing the NASA came. Fulfilled his prayer! He escaped the first allowance. Over the next few weeks, the realization of his dream is getting closer. Frank received a call to attend a special astronaut training program at the Kennedy Space Center.
Of the 43,000 applicants, then 10,000 people, and now he became part of the 100 people who gathered for the final assessment. Who among us could pass this final exam? Lord, let me be me!


Then came the news that destroyed it. NASA chose a female teacher to fly with the shuttle. His life's dream destroyed. He was depressed. His self-confidence disappears, and anger replaces happiness.


Tuesday, January 28, 1986, Frank went to see the launch Challanger. As the aircraft passed the tower of the runway, he challenged his dream one last time. "God, I'm willing to do anything to be in the plane. Why not me?" Salazak prayer.
Seventy-three seconds later, God answered all questions and remove all doubts as Challanger exploded, killing all passengers.

Do you believe in fate spinning wheel?

Surely this sort of thing you've ever heard:  
There are bad people hurt good people and good people do not resist even a victim.  
In my heart he said: "Let the spinning wheel, one day he will be under our above!"

There are poor people work but remain poor, and not rich-rich. Then he saw the rich and dreaming to be rich. In her heart she said, "Let the spinning wheel, one day we will be on top"

You believe that?  

For those of you who believe that the wheel will spin I had to remind that it's one of the most dangerous impossibility.

Fact: The wheel is NOT always spinning.  

There are times when wheels STILL. Lots of poor people who died poor. A fool remains a fool to death. People become victims and a victim all his life. Ummah remain humbled and humiliated. Instead there are people born to die rich and stay rich.  

Why?  
Because the wheel is NOT ROTATING.  

Why not spin?  
Because it has not been moved. Wheels are in rem could not move. so WE have to move WHEELS fate. Do not wait for the fate of his own spinning lift us up, but we do not do anything.

Indonesia, my country never colonized for hundreds of years. Means that there are generations from birth to death did not know it was free. Wheels on the bottom continue. Let's straighten?  
The truth rather than spinning wheels but the wheels can rotate and be silent, and we who decide to move or remain stationary at the bottom.  
Well, still believe in destiny spinning wheel? (Without driven)
