Busy Living for Meaningful Life

How can we Make our Life be more meaningful?

Make Dreams!!!
As many as you want to, no one can forbid you to dream, it's your own mind... Who will be able to Rip your brain and force you to stop your Dreams?!
NO ONE!
But... Dreams alone are not enough!!!
You Need to Make it HAPPEN! YEAH! MAKE IT HAPPEN!
But How?!
Maybe you are trapped with many things that you can't realize yourself or maybe actually you've already noticed that you are stuck on something.

The Excuses that usually we use are:
1. "I got no time to make it happen! I'm too busy to do my activities!"
     Taste Hell!
     You must manage your time to step further even it just a little step forward, at least you will be more confident that you probably can reach that dream someday and think "I can step further than today although my 1st step is a big failure". Manage your time to do something that can lead you to reach your dream, practice, practice, hold it and bear with it. But still don't forget to get rest, because if you fall ill, your dream will fly away.
Commitment is the best word for managing your time.

2. " I got no money! I'm poor!" and others that said Money is everything...
    Like I said before, "Taste Hell!"
    I know all of us need money to survive! I know money has always been an issue everywhere in the world and our limitation to develop ourselves!
but... I mean, BUT!!! There's another way to reach your dreams! Open yourself to learn from others! Ask help from others but still don't depend on them and don't ask money from them. Ask their support because it will make you eager more to grab your dream immediately.
Do something that can lead you to get closer to your dream, show your ability to realize your dream, let everyone know that you're more willing to reach your dream above everything and pray, I believe GOD will help you to open your path. Money is not everything but Money helps you in many things. So don't be so desperate about being poor.

3. "My Family againts me! I'm not allowed!" and things about "Permission"
    Trash! it's all Trash mind that you must throw away! As long as your Dreams are at least unharm others, Fight it! you got your own Life! "It's My Life", like what Jon Bon Jovi said in his Song.

You get your own reason to Life but still you get responsibility to make your family proud of you and happy because afterall they are your dearest family. Please don't ruin their dreams also about you. Give them understanding bit by bit about your dreams. I believe they will gradually understand that you're willing to realize your dreams and they will accept your way of thinking. Find the best time to share it with your family.

4. "I'm Useless! I don't even know if I can do it" and others of your thought about being not talented.
    TRASH LOSER!

yeah! the simplest thing is: "Don't even bother to think about that dream anymore! Chase another dream!" as simple as like that. But I would like better if you are still eager to do it with your all your heart content. Even if you can't reach your dream but you can share your dreams with others who have the same dream like yo do and invite them to reach that dream together. Do the part that you can do to realize that dream. You can even join "The same dream community" and it's easy to find them now in internet. So what are you waiting for? Go for it!

5. "My dream is different, many people can't accept it" and elses that is named rejection
     once again, I will said "LOSER!"
     Hufff... It's your own Life, Dude! Don't even bother with others' opinion!
     "I am weird! But so what if I am?! Everybody is weird in their own way!" - Stephen King
     So just be confident! Raise your arms and Fight with it! Put your Face on and Make Grinning Face to others and said that you will be succeed.
Maybe the best word is "MOTIVATION" to face this kind of situaton.

Whatever your reason is But trust me, If you do nothing to reach your dream, then throw your dream off and just taste your Hell like as before!


The Key Masters for Being Able to Step Forward To Reach Your Dreams are:
1. MOTIVATION
    Reason that arises conciously or not to perform action in particular purpose.

    So you must find your real deepest reason that make you are eager so well to reach your dream. It's allright to be different as long as "unharm others"!

2. COMMITMENT
    Agreement to do something.

    So you must agree with yourself that you will reach your dream whatever the situation is.

3. CONSISTENCY
    Obidience and Fidelity 

    to something that you have commited before.

4. HEART
    Do all things with all your heart content. Trust it if it's your calling and Love to do it.

5. COMMUNITY

    Don't forget that you got people around you. Manage your time to socialize with others but tell them not to disturb you when you need to do something without any undesirable interferences.

6. REFRESHMENT
   You Have to Maintain your Health! Physically and Psychologically.

   Have a Good Rest, Take Full Nourishment Meals, Get Socialize sometimes, Meet your physician monthly, Clean your body (taking a bath, brushing your teeth, cutting your hair), Do Exercise everyday, Travel to Good Place that can pull out your tension, Listen to Music that can relieve your stresses, and Read Good information that can inspire you more and more!

7. PRAYER

Don't forget to Pray and Beg for HIS guidance to strengthen your motivation and commitment so you will able to still consistent in your path and do it with all your heart content, also avoid all distraction that disturbing your path.

Hope you find Enlightenment here...

Kejujuran Membawa Berkat

Kisah yang menarik dimana tetap mempertahankan prinsip
menjadi orang baik dan harapan. David kuliah di fakultas
perdagangan Arlington USA. Kehidupan kampusnya,
terutama mengandalkan kiriman dana bulanan secukupnya
dari orang tuanya. Entah bagaimana, sudah 2 bulan ini
rumah tidak mengirimi uang ke David lagi.
Di kantong David hanya tersisa 1 keping dollar saja.
David dengan perut keroncongan berjalan ke bilik telepon
umum, memasukkan seluruh dananya, yaitu satu keping
uang logam itu, ke dalam telepon.

"Halo, apa kabar?" telpon telah tersambung, ibu David
yang berada ribuan km jauhnya berbicara.
David dengan nada agak terisak berkata:
"Mama, saya tidak punya uang lagi, sekarang lagi bingung
karena kelaparan."
Ibu David berkata: "Anakku tersayang, mama tahu."
"Sudah tahu, kenapa masih tidak mengirim uang?"
David baru saja hendak melontarkan dengan penuh
kekesalan pertanyaan tersebut kepada sang ibu,
mendadak merasakan perkataan ibunya mengandung
sebuah kesedihan yang mendalam. Firasat David
mengatakan ada yang tidak beres, ia cepat-cepat bertanya,
"Mama, apa yang telah terjadi di rumah?"

Ibu David berkata,
"Anakku, papamu terkena penyakit berat, sudah lima
bulan ini, tidak saja telah meludeskan seluruh tabungan,
bahkan karena sakit telah kehilangan tempat kerjanya,
sumber penghasilan satu-satunya di rumah telah terputus.
Oleh karena itu, sudah 2 bulan ini tidak mengirimimu uang
lagi, Mama sebenarnya tidak ingin mengatakannya
kepadamu, tetapi kamu sudah dewasa, sudah saatnya
mencari nafkah sendiri."

Ibu David berbicara sampai disitu, tiba-tiba menangis
tersedu sedan. Di ujung telepon lainnya, air mata David
juga "tes", "tes" tak hentinya menetes, dan ia berpikir
Kelihatannya saya harus drop out dan pulang kampung.
David berkata kepada ibunya,
"Mama, jangan bersedih, saya sekarang juga akan mencari
pekerjaan, pasti akan menghidupi kalian."

Kenyataan yang pahit telah membuat David terpukul
hingga pusing tujuh keliling. Masih 1 bulan lagi,
semester kali ini akan selesai, jikalau memiliki uang,
barang 8 atau 10 dollar saja, maka David mampu bertahan
hingga liburan tiba, kemudian menggunakan 2 bulan masa
liburan untuk bekerja menghasilkan uang. Akan tetapi
sekarang 1 sen pun tak punya, mau tak mau harus drop out.

Pada detik ketika David mengatakan "Sampai jumpa"
kepada ibunya dan meletakkan gagang telpon itu,
sungguh luar biasa menyakitkan, karena prestasi kuliahnya
sangat bagus, selain itu ia juga menyukai kehidupan di
kampus fakultas perdagangan Arlington tersebut.
Sesudah meletakkan gagang telpon, pesawat telpon umum
tersebut mengeluarkan bunyi gaduh, David dengan
terkejut dan terbelalak menyaksikan banyak keping dollar
menggerojok keluar dari alat itu.

David berjingkrak kegirangan, segera menjulurkan
tangannya menerima uang-uang tersebut.
Sekarang, terhadap uang-uang itu, bagaimana
menyikapinya? Hati David masih merasa sangsi,
diambil untuk diri sendiri, 100% boleh,
pertama: karena tidak ada yang tahu,
ke dua: dirinya sendiri betul-betul sedang membutuhkan.
Namun setelah bolak-balik dipertimbangkan, David merasa
tidak patut memilikinya. Setelah melalui sebuah
pertarungan konflik batin yang hebat, David memasukkan
salah satu keping dolar itu ke dalam telepon dan menghubungi bagian pelayanan umum perusahaan telepon.

Mendengar penuturan David, nona petugas pelayanan
umum berkata, "Uang itu milik perusahaan telepon,
maka itu harus segera dikembalikan (ke dalam mesin
telepon)."

Setelah menutup telepon, David hendak memasukkan
kembali keping logam uang itu, tetapi sekali demi sekali
uang dimasukkan, pesawat otomat itu terus menerus
memuntahkannya kembali. Sekali lagi David menelepon,
dan petugas pelayanan umum yang berkata,
"Saya juga tak tahu harus bagaimana, sebaiknya saya
sekarang minta petunjuk atasan."
Nada bicara David yang sendirian dan tiada yang menolong
memancarkan getaran kesepian dan kuyu, nona petugas
pelayanan umum sangat dapat merasakannya,
menilik perkataan dari ujung telepon dia merasakan
seorang asing yang bermoral baik sedang perlu dibantu.

Tak lama kemudian, nona petugas pelayanan umum
menelepon ulang pesawat otomat yang sedang bermasalah
itu. Dia berkata kepada David,
"Saya telah memperoleh ijin dari atasan yang berkata
uang tersebut untuk anda, karena perusahaan kami saat
ini tidak mempunyai cukup tenaga, tak ingin demi
beberapa dollar khusus mengirim petugas ke sana."

"Hore!", David meloncat saking gembiranya.
Sekarang, uang logam itu secara sah menjadi miliknya.
David membungkukkan badannya dan dengan seksama
nenghitungnya, total berjumlah 9 dollar 50 sen.
Uang sejumlah ini cukup buat David bertahan hingga
bekerja memperoleh upah pertamanya pada saat liburan
nanti. Dalam perjalanan ke kampus, David tersenyum
terus sepanjang jalan. Iamemutuskan membeli makanan
dengan menggunakan uang itu lantas mencari pekerjaan.

Dalam sekejap liburan telah tiba, David telah memperoleh
pekerjaan sebagai pengelola gudang supermarket.
Pada hari tersebut, David menjumpai boss perusahaan
supermarket, menceritakan kepadanya tentang kejadian di
telepon umum dan keinginannya untuk mencari pekerjaan.
Si boss supermarket memberitahu David boleh datang
bekerja setiap saat, tidak hanya pada liburan saja,
sewaktu kuliah dan tidak terlalu sibuk juga boleh
bergabung, karena boss supermarket merasa David adalah
orang yang tulus dan jujur, terutama adalah orang yang
seksama, membenahi gudang mutlak bisa dipercaya.
David bekerja dengan sangat giat, boss sangat
mengapresiasinya dan juga merasa kasihan.
Si boss memberinya upah dobel.

Sesudah menerima gaji, David mengirimkan keseluruhan
gajinya kepada sang ibu, karena pada saat itu David sudah
mendapatkan info bahwa ia berhasil memperoleh bea
siswa untuk satu semester berikutnya. Sesudah 1 bulan,
uang dikirim balik ke David. Sang ibu menulis di dalam suratnya:
"Penyakit ayahmu sudah agak sembuh, saya juga telah
mendapatkan pekerjaan, bisa mempertahankan hidup.
Kamu harus belajar dengan baik, jangan sampai kelaparan."
Sesudah membaca surat itu, David menangis lagi.
David tahu, meski orang tuanya menahan lapar, juga tidak
bakal meminta uang kepada David yang sedang perlu
dibantu. Setiap kali memikirkan hal ini, David berlinang
bersimbah air mata, sulit menenangkan gejolak hatinya.

Setahun kemudian, David dengan lancar menyelesaikan kuliahnya.
Setelah lulus, David membuka sebuah
perusahaan, tahun pertama, David sudah mengantongi
laba US $ 100.000. Ia senantiasa tak bisa melupakan
kejadian di telepon umum. Ia menulis surat kepada
perusahaan telepon tersebut:
"Hal yang tak bisa saya lupakan untuk selamanya ialah,
perusahaan anda secara tak terduga telah membantu dana
US $ 9,50 kepada saya. Perbuatan amal ini,
telah membuat saya batal menjadi pemuda drop out dan
menuju kondisi miskin, bersamaan itu juga telah memberi
saya energi tak terhingga, mendorong saya setiap saat
tidak melupakan untuk berjuang. Kini saya mempunyai
uang, saya ingin menyumbang balik sebanyak US $ 10.000
kepada perusahaan anda, sebagai rasa terima kasih saya."

Boss perusahaan telpon bernama Bill membalasnya dengan
surat yang dipenuhi antusiasme:
"Selamat atas kesuksesan kuliah anda dan usaha yang
telah berkembang. Kami kira, uang tersebut adalah uang
yang paling patut kami keluarkan. Ini bukannya merujuk
pada $9,50 yang dikembalikan dengan $10.000,
melainkan uang itu telah membuat seseorang memahami
sebuah petuah tentang prinsip tertinggi kehidupan."

So, di saat-saat paling sulit,
Pertama : Jangan melupakan harapan sudah ada di depan mata.
Kedua: Jangan lupa menjaga moralitas.

Setelah 20 tahun telah berlalu, bagaimana dengan David?
Di kota Chicago, Amerika, terdapat sebuah gedung
mewah, yang tampak luarnya menyerupai sebuah bilik
telepon umum, itu adalah gedung perusahaan ADDC.
Pendiri perusahaan ADDC, Presiden Direkturnya ialah
David, selain itu juga David adalah salah satu penyumbang
terbesar untuk badan amal.

A Father’s Gift

A Father’s Gift

A young man will soon be graduating; soon he will achieve his bachelor’s degree, the commencement of his hard work, years spent on his education. A few months ago, he passed through a showroom, and there he falls in love with a sports car - the latest release from Ford. For several months, he had always imagined driving it, thinking that when he graduates his father would buy him the car. He was sure, because he's an only child and his father is very dear to him, so he really believes he'll definitely be getting that car for him.  In fact he even told this dream to his friends. The time arrived, that afternoon after graduation; he immediately came to his father.

The father smiled, and with tears in his eyes he expressed how touched, how proud, and how much he loves his son. Then he took out a parcel instead of a key! With a broken heart, the young man received the gift, and was very disappointed while opening it. And behind the wrapping paper, he found a Bible that is covered by genuine leather; the leather was beautifully etched with the son’s name in gold ink.

The young man became angry, raised his voice and shouted, "Daaaad!!! ... Dad I thought you love me, with all that money of yours, you just bought me this Bible?"

Then he slammed the Bible and left his father. His father could not say anything, he was crushed, and he stood still and was watched by thousands of pairs of eyes present at that time.

Year after year passed, the young man became successful. Capitalizing on his brilliant brain, he managed to become rich. He has large and luxurious houses, and surrounded by a beautiful wife and smart kids.

Meanwhile, his father is getting old and was living alone. Ever since that graduation day, his son left him and never contacted him. He hopes one day to meet his son, to convince him how much he loves him. The young man sometimes misses his father and wanted to meet him, but considering what happened on the day of his graduation, he became bitter and very vengeful.

Until one day, a telegram arrived from the prosecutor's office informing the son that his father had passed away, bequeathing all his property to his only child. The district attorney asked the son to meet him in the father’s house and to turn over the assets. As he stepped into the house, his heart suddenly became very sad, remembering all the memories he had when he lived there. He felt very sorry for being bad towards his father. With the shadows of the past inside his mind, he opened his father’s safe. There he found the Bible, still wrapped in the same paper, untouched.

With tears welling in his eyes, he picked up the Bible, opened it and began flipping through the pages. In it, his father has scribbled a note.

Matthew 7:11.
" So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask Him."

He finished reading it then something fell from the back of the Bible. He picked it up, a car key! On the key chain was the car dealer's name printed! He turn on the Bible's last page, and found a vehicle registration with his name printed on it. And a car purchase receipt, the date just a day before his graduation.

He ran toward the garage, and there he found a car that was covered with dust for years, even though the car was very dirty because it was not touched for years, he still knows clearly that car, the sports car which he had longed for years ago. With a rush he removed the dust on the car windows and peered inside. The inside was new, still wrapped in plastic, car and above the dashboard is a photograph, a picture of his father, smiling proudly. Suddenly he became limp, managed to sit down beside the car with unstoppable tears flowing… A sense of remorse overcame him, remorse that can not be repaired

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE MISS GOD'S BLESSINGS BECAUSE WE CAN'T SEE PAST THROUGH OUR OWN DESIRES?

A Touching Donation . . .

Ini adalah Kisah Nyata yang terjadi pada tahun 2008 . . .

hal yang sudah dilupakan bangsa kita…

tangan yg di atas lebih baik dari pada tangan yg di bawah…

hasil keringat sendiri lebih bermakna…

…

Kasih adalah tindakan, bukan cuma diucapkan

Ia berjalan di depan meja ‘donation’, kami berpikir: ‘dia akan lewat…'

“Saya ingin menyumbang!”

Ia menuang koin dari mangkuknya.

Para petugas mengulurkan tangan ingin membantu,

tapi dia ingin melakukannya dengan tangannya sendiri.

Kami semua tak bisa berkata-kata,

ia memberikan semua yang diperolehnya

kepada Lembaga Amal dengan usahanya sendiri.

“Saya masih punya uang.”

Ia berkata dengan antusias sambil merogoh saku celananya.

Ia mengambil beberapa lembar uang 10 dollar

dan … menyumbang!

Orang Bijak Mengatakan, “ Sesungguhnya jika kita berbuat kebaikan,

Kita BUKAN hanya sedang membantu orang atau mahkluk lain,

Namun sesungguhnya kita sedang membantu diri kita sendiri agar menjadi lebih bahagia.

Temukan kebahagiaan dengan memberi “
