Never Give Up

A failure is a reality that usually takes place in our daily life. No one like such a reality.
Having a failure makes us worry and doubt. When we fail in doing something, we seem to lose enthusiasm so that we will not try anymore. We submit ourselves to the reality without making efforts to find solution to our problems.

Wise people say that a failure is a chance for us to analyze, the only real failure is the failure which prevents us from trying further. As a result, we know that a failure is needed ; it is even part of our success. The following are suggestions or lessons that we learn from our failures.

1. A failure is an opportunity for us to examine whether we have done our best or not.
If not, that is a good moment to change our strategy.

2. A failure provides chances for us to introspect ourselves in order to find a remedy for the failure. It is quite difficult for us to assess ourselves, because we always tend to blame our failures on other people. We seldom think that we ourselves who cause the failures.

3. A failure does not mean the end of everything. But by having a failure, we will be motivated
to try and to work more seriously.

Now, we have to be brave to face and accept failures. Our failures can become our motivators.
The key point is that : Never give up when facing a failure.

There's no thrill in easy sailing when the skies are clear and blue,
there's no joy in merely doing things which any one can do.
But there's some satisfaction that is mighty sweet to take,
when you reach a destination that you thought you'd never make. ( Spirella )

A Long Journey to be Healthy

Like a trip, health is a long journey which we take as long as we live.
Anybody who chooses a healthy way of life not only prepares well for the future well, but also enjoys life much better . The following are tips to live a healthy life.

A. Good Habits
To have a good health is not difficult. The difficulty is the shaping of healthy habits.
A simple example is the smoking habit. Even those who know about the disadvantages of smoking cannot leave this bad habit easily. It is easier to change a bad habit than to leave it all together.
If we have the smoking habit, for instance, it is better for us to change the habit by chewing fresh fruit.

B. Good Nutrition
Consuming good and nutritious food every day does not only make our body healthy but also give us sufficient energy for our daily activities. Much of our health is influenced by the food we consume. Therefor, if we consider our health important, we should have a positive attitude towards the food we eat. Consequently, we should be able to manage our own menu, choose good and nutritious meals, eat a balanced diet, and control ourselves so that we do not consume too much food.

C. Relationships and Feelings
Our relationships with people who are close to us can make our life healthy or damage our health. A good relationships with others is an influential factor to make us healthy. On the other hand, a bad relationship is a factor which can damage our health. A good relationship with others, such as friends and family members, and even pets and plants, has a good influenceon our health.
Our feeling can also influence our health. Feeling sad and being isolated, for example, can make us physically tired. In such condition, our body will change a certain chemical substance which can cause a predisposition to poor health. The latest psychological research done by Pinko L. Graves and Jhon W. Shaffer at Jhon Hopkins University, School of Medicine also proves that feeling is an influential factor to make us healthy or sick. According to the research, people who constantly feel lonely and show bad temper and engaged in negative thinking might possibly suffer from cancer at some future time.

D. Rest and Relaxation
Air, water and food, are the sources of fuel for our body. While we are doing our activities, our muscles, joints and minds are busy. Relaxation and rest give them time to be free from their tasks. Rest and relaxation are important factors to gather new energy that we need to do the next activities.
Sleeping at night is an example of a perfect rest. Self - healing happens while we are sleeping. When we sleep, our bodies prepare for future activities and repair the damaged cells.

E. Activities and Sports
Both activities and sports involve the muscle of he body.
Most of our daily activities need the involvement of our muscles. We need exercises to keep our strength in balance. Those who exercise regularly will have a fit body, mental alertness, and a calmer attitude. Sports indeed have many advantages; these include a good stamina, more energy, a better body shape, a calm mind, healthy heart and lungs, and a longer life.

HOW TO BE A LEADER

Every organization needs a good leader, but not all people have qualities to become a leader.
Some people think that the leader's job is in getting work done by other people, or in getting people work for you when they are under no obligation to do so, etc. No matter what point we start from in a discussion of leadership, we inevitably reach the conclusion that the art of being a leader is the art of developing people.

Whilst it is true that those in authority can be trained and educated for their tasks, they must have certain qualities which can be developed for effective leadership.

A. Basic Qualities
1. Understanding
A leader must try to understand people and their behaviors, why they react in different ways and have diverse needs.

2. Ability to enlist cooperation
The striving, planning and working towards a common goal must be a united effort based on mutual respect.

3. Ability to delegate
Those who cannot delegate will never be successful leaders. Not only do they become overwhelmed and incapable of performing their true functions, they also deprive others of opportunity and of finding satisfaction in their work.

4. Wisdom
Wise judgement and the ability to make decisions are vital and justice can never be separated from judgement. The leader needs courage, knowledge, facts and must have the wisdom to make wise decisions.

B. Personal Qualities
1. Self control and self respect.
The leader who understands himself is in a position to exercise self control.
This understanding does not mean introspection, but the ability to recognize his own weakness and be sufficiently humble to conduct himself with poise and serenity which in turn produces self-respect.

2. Beliefs and values.
The personality of the individual will influence the quality of leadership.
Beliefs, values and attitudes are part of the make up of people and can influence the whole of their conducts.

3. Moral courage and determination.
One of the most important function of a leader is to give support in times of stress, giving the encouragement and sympathy that is needed in order to progress through a period of trial or strain.

4. Sense of humor.
This is a great asset. There are few occasions which can not be lightened by cheerful counenance and frequently there is room for optimism. Leadership should be enjoyed and it should contact with people with the possibility of happiness depending on how the person looks at the situation.

If all these qualities are considered together, they will be found in a person whose character is harmony, someone who posses through self-knowledge and appreciation of the needs of others, a balanced objective outlook which can control and direct a situation and bring out the best in them.

Temukan Cinta Anda

Bila anda tak mencintai pekerjaan anda,
maka cintailah orang - orang yang bekerja dengan anda.
Rasakan kegembiraan dari pertemanan itu.
Dan, pekerjaanpun jadi menggembirakan.

Bila anda tak bisa mencintai rekan - rekan kerja anda,
maka cintailah suasana dan gedung kantor anda.
Ini mendorong anda untuk bergairah berangkat kerja dan melakukan
tugas - tugas dengan lebih baik lagi.

Bila toh anda juga tidak bisa melakukannya,
cintai setiap pengalaman pulang pergi dari dan ke tempat kerja anda.
Perjalanan yang menyenangkan akan menjadikan tujuan tampak
menyenangkan juga.

Namun, bila anda tak menemukan kesenangan di sana,
maka cintai apa pun yang bisa anda cintai dari kerja anda :
tanaman, penghias meja, cicak di atas dinding, atau
gumpalan awan dari balik jendela.
Apa saja.

Bila anda tak menemukan yang bisa anda cintai dari pekerjaan anda,
maka mengapa anda ada di situ?
Tak ada alasan bagi anda untuk tetap bertahan.
Cepat pergi dan carilah apa yang anda cintai, lalu bekerjalah di sana.
Hidup hanya sekali
Tak ada yang lebih indah selain melakukan dengan rasa cinta yang tulus.

How To Be A Loyal Friend

Anyone of us, everyone, can be loyal to our friends
A loyal person is the one who knows and upholds his dignity. Loyal people put themselves in a place that they should be. Loyalty is the "game" for honorable people as Latin proverb says : " Loyalty is the holiest good in the human heart."

The problem is you may think that you are a loyal person to your closes friends, but you do things that indicate you are not. It means that you don't know how to be loyal, although you want to be so. In fact, to be a loyal friend is not easy. Anyway, if you can be one and have one, you are most likely going to have a qualified life and be happy. A French proverb puts it this way: "A faithful friend is an image of God."

Here are some inspirations of becoming a loyal friend :
1. A loyal friend doesn't reveal his friend's secret. Whatever secret your friend has, you should keep it for yourself. You can reveal it to others if your friend tells you so. The more significant his secret is, the more careful you have to keep it. You are even required to tell a lie, if you are force to tell it. Once you reveal your friend's secret, especially if it spawns hostility to your friend, you are no longer loyal to him.

2. A loyal friend only tells his secret to his friend. It means that he believes and trusts his friend. Good friendship is when you can be yourself as sincerely as possible. You are not in the good relationship, if you have to be pretending to be someone else. Healthy friendship is two direction relationship. He keeps your secrets, and you keep his secrets. If you don't trust your friend, you are no longer loyal to her.

3. A loyal friend doesn't let his friend make mistakes. A loyal friend always care about his friend. Once you let your friend make a mistake while you know and have time to straighten it, but you don't do it, you are not a loyal friend. Loyal friends share experiences, good or bad. The bigger mistake your friend is going to make, the more obliged you are to tell him how bad it will likely give impact on him

4. A loyal friend lets his friend grow and develop. A loyal friend doesn't want to be a nuisance in his friend's education and life. A good friendship takes place if those who are in the friendship can grow and develop together. Good friends want to be good people together. They also support one another to achieve their ambition and life goals.

5. A loyal friend doesn't want to badmouth his friend. there is no time for gossip to grow in the good relationship. Once you hear something strange about your friend, you feel free to clarify it. It is not that you want to take a control of your friend, you only want to know the truth for the sake of friendship. In good friendship you can to talk to your friend, man to man. Badmouthing and friendship can not go together. Over and above, there is only two choices you have, and you have to take only one of the two. You want to be his friend or you want to be her friend or you want to badmouth him.

Kesenangan dan Kesedihan

Kesenanganmu adalah kesedihan yang tersembunyi.
Dan dalam diri yang sama dari mana tawamu bangkit adalah diri yang sering kali kau penuhi dengan air mata.
Bagaimana tidak?
Semakin dalam kesedihan menggali lubang dalam wujudmu, semakin banyak kesenangan yang akan kau tampung.

Bukankah gelas yang menyimpan anggurmu adalah gelas yang dibakar bersama tembikar?
Dan tidakkah seruling yang melambungkan jiwamu adalah bambu yang dikerat dengan pisau?
Ketika engkau gembira, lihatlah di kedalaman hatimu, dan engkau akan melihat bahwa sebenarnya engkau sedang meratatapi sesuatu yang pernah menjadi kebahagianmu

Di antaramu ada yang berkata, "Kesenangan lebih besar dari kesedihan," dan yang lain berkata, bukan kesedihan "Bukan, kesedihanlah yang lebih besar."
Tapi ku katakan kepadamu, keduanya tak terpisahkan.
Bersama mereka datang, dan ketika salah satu dudukberceng kerama di beranda, maka yang lain sedang berbaring menunggumu di tempat tidur.
Sesungguhnyalah engkau bergerak sepeerti skala yang berayun antara kesedihan dan kesenanganmu.

Hanya jika engkau kosong, maka engkau dapat berada pada keadaan tetap dan seimbang.
Ketika sang Penjaga Harta mengangkatmu untuk mengukur emas dan peraknya, maka ia memerlukan kesenangan atau kesedihanmu dan menjadikannyabergerak naik dan turun

Minyak Tanah di Daerahku Sudah Langka

Penggunaan bahan bakar minyak tanah yang telah akrab dengan masyarakat kalangan menengah ke bawah di daerah ku kini telah bergeser dari peredarannya. Hal ini terasa sejak adanya konversi gas pertengahan tahun yang lalu, di mana penggunaan minyak tanah sebagai bahan bakar untuk rumah tangga ( untuk memasak ) diganti dengan bahan bakar gas

Sebenarnya sebagian masyarakat, ada yang ingin bertahan menggunakan bahan bakar minyak tanah dengan beberapa alasan ada yang belum siap, takut meledak dan sebagainya.

Kini setelah konversi gas berlangsung perlahan -lahan minyak tanah mulai langka. Para penjual baik sebagai distributor maupun pengecer jarang ada yang menjual minyak tanah, meskipun ada hanya kecil sekali dan itupun dengan harga yang mahal melebihi harga bensin, 1 liter bensin Rp 5.000,- sedangkan minyak tanah 1 liter Rp 6.000,-. Kelangkaan dan kenaikan harga minyak tanah yang begitu mencolok membuat gundah sebagian masyarakat yang belum siap menggunakan gas. Bagi mereka yang tinggal di desa penggunaan bahan bakar kayu menjadi alternatif. Di desa masih banyak pepohonan, mereka menggunakan dahan dan ranting yang kering sebagai bahan bakar alternatif untuk memasak.

Di lingkungan saya terutama keluarga saya yang masih mendominasi penggunaan obat - obatan tradisional air kelapa muda hijau digunakan untuk mengatasi keracunan. Pernah suatu ketika keponakan saya mengkonsumsi makanan yang telah kedalu warsa, karena ketidak telitian ataupun lalai tiba - tiba muntah dan pusing, sebagai penolongan pertama dikasihlah minum air kelapa muda hijau yang masih murni. Lambat laun muntah dan rasa pusing hilang.

Mengapa Ongkos Reparasi Handphone Mahal

Mengapa ongkos reparasi hanpdhone mahal? pertanyaan seperti itu tak asing saya dengar dari para pengguna ponsel, yang kebetulan ponselnya mengalami problem ataupun rusak. Barangkali pembaca juga ada yang sependapat dengan pertanyaan seperti di atas.

Sebagai contoh Si A suatu hari datang ke counter reparasi HP ingin memperbaiki HPnya yang bermasalah yaitu mati karena tercelup air. Setelah selesai direparasi HP Si A yang bermerk Nokia N70 dikenakan biaya 75 ribu rupiah tanpa ada sperpart yang diganti. Juga Si B ingin memperbaiki HPnya yang bermerk Nokia 6600 karena pecah LCDnya. Setelah HPnya jadi dikenakan biaya Rp 325 ribu rupiah, bahkan sebelumnya pernah ditanyakan di counter reparasi lain ganti LCD HPnya tesebut dikenakan biaya 400 ribu rupiah. Juga lagi Si X memperbaiki HPnya yang bermerk Sony Ericso K510i yang error softwarenya dikenakan biaya 45 ribu rupiah.

Memang ongkos reparasi ponsel tak ada pathokan / batas ongkos yang standar seperti harga beras atau harga BBM. Para tehnisi atau usahawan reparasi reparasi handphone mengenakan ongkos reparasi ponsel karena beberapa faktor, diantaranya;

• Komponen / sperpart ataupun jalur - jalur komponen handphone sangat relatif kecil sekali ukurannya, sehingga untuk memperbaiki dibutuhkan keahlian dan pengetahuan yang cukup, juga kehati - hatian dan ketelitian serta penglihatan yang bagus bahkan ada yang menggunakan kaca pembesar untuk memeperbaiki handphone. Faktor ini yang menyebabkan ongkos reparasi handphone mahal karena seorang tehnisi handphone juga memperhitungkan faktor kegagalan seperti pd waktu memanaskan komponen - komponen handphone dengan alat pemanas yang biasa disebut blower dengan suhu daripada blower tsb mencapai 400 derajat Celcius dan memecahkan salah satu komponen. Tentunya tehnisi juga tak mau terlalu rugi bila terjadi hal hal yang tidak diinginkan.

• Belum banyak tempat reparasi handphone, karena counter handphone ataupun outlet isi ulang pulsa belum tentu melayani perbaikan handphone.

Postingan ini smoga menjadi wawasan bagi pembaca.

Function of Community Network

Before computer took center stage, the term community network was a sociological concept that described the rich web of communications and relationships in a community.

Recently, community member and activists all over the world are developing these community networks, often in conjunction with other local institutions including colleges and universities, libraries, local governmental agencies, and nonprofit organizations.

These community network some with user populations in the tens of thousands are intended to advance social goals, such as building economic opportunities in disadvantaged community. A community network accomplishes these goals by supporting smaller communities within the larger community and by facilitating the exchange of information between individuals and these smaller communities. Another community network objective is to provide electronic one stop stop shopping for community information and communication, by using discussing forums, question and answer forums ; electronic access for government employees, information and access to social services, electronic mail, internet services including access to the World Wide Web.

Community members interact with community network in various ways. Community network terminals can be set up at public places like libraries, school, community and senior centers, social service agencies, shopping mall. Community networks can also be accessible from home via computers and increasingly from the internet.

In recent years, activist have also been establishing community computing-centers where people, often in low-income neighborhoods, can become comfortable and adept with computer application and network services.

The actual services on a community network vary from system to system but there are some typical ones, such as providing information about nonprofit organization and government agencies. Community networks also offer on-line discussion capabilities on a limitless number of topics. Possible topics include pets, homelessness, region, gay activism, ask the mayor, alternatives educations, cultural events, and classes, public hearings, artist and craft person's forum, dental clinic, public safety updates, international news, and neighborhood news.

Common Errors in Writing ( part 4 )

Slash :

A slash ( / ) can be used as "either or " when the choice is between "and" and "or." Say : "She is bringing chocolates and / or wine." Do not use the slash, however to make the same statement about nouns ( do not say chocolates / wine ) or in other places where the two concepts are interchangeable.

Substantive and Substantial :

Do not say substantive when you mean substantial. Substantial refers to a large amount. Enough or more than enough for the purpose. Substantive refers to content, in contrast to form or superficial characteristics.

Upholding and Holding Up :

When you uphold something, you support and help to maintain it. When you hold something up, you hinder it or prohibit it from continuing or developing.

Unique :

The word "unique" means "one of a kind." There can only be one of that kind. This is an either / or situation; either something is unique or it is not. It can not be more or less.

That means something can not be "more" unique than something else. It is like being pregnant ; either you are or you are not ; you can not be just a little bit pregnant, or less pregnant than Isobel.

Their, There and They're

"Their" is an adjective. It describes something that belongs to them. "There" is a place; further away from here. "They're" is a contraction for "they are."

Should of :

The phrase "should of " is wrong. It must be "should have."

Common Errors in writing ( part 3 )

Isn't it :

When you make a statement, then immediately ask if it is not true, you can use "isn't it" only if the question used the verb "to be" ( ie "is" or one of its forms ), the original question was positive, and if the subject of the sentence is third person singular ( it ). It is correct to say, for example, "It is coming, isn't it?"

Kindly :

Be careful when you use the word "kindly." It is used to begin a request that the listener or reader do something or refrain from doing something. It is polite and appropriate to use it on public notices, posters or broadcasts.

It is rude to use it when talking to single person. It implies that the listener is in an inferior class or is your servant and you are annoyed with him or her. When asking an individual to do something, it is best tu use the word, "Please."

Loose and Lose :

The two words, "loose" and "lose," look similar, especially to those who speak English as a scond language. It is easy to mix them up.

The word, "loose," means something is not tight or securely fastened down. It might easily fall apart or fall off. The word "lose," in contrast, means to have something go away and become lost.

Number of :

Do not use the phrase "a number of" to indicate an unknown number of something. Instead, use the word. Instead use the word "several."

Remember that zero is a number, so it is true that I had a number of sexual adventures with beautiful Hollywood starlets

Opposed to :

Do not use "opposed to" when you mean "contrasted with." Opposed mean there is a conflict between the two difference.

Revert :

To revert means to degenerate to an earlier condition. Say, " They reverted to barbarisme. :It does not mean to replay, as in "reply to a message, "Say Please reply to this email message

Common Errors in Writing ( part 2 )

Complement and Compliment :
The change from an "e" to an "i" makes a big difference in these two words. The word "complement" is related to the word "complete". If one thing complements another, then the two together make a whole.

In contrast, the word "compliment" is an observation of some good quality in a person. It is considered more sincere than flattery.

Datum and Data :

The word "data" is a plural noun, like "facts". Do not use it as a singular noun ( like fact ) or as a collective ( like water ). Right : "There are many data in that report."

If you want the singular of data ( one bit of information ) then use the word, "datum."
Right : "I need only one datum from that report." This is very seldom used nowadays.

etc :

End of thinking creatively ( E.T.C ). Avoid using "etc."

Fewer and Less :

"Fewer is used for counting while "less" is used for measuring. You can say Kwaku has fewer litres of fuel than Kwame, if litres are discrete things, or you can say Kwaku has less fuel than Kwame, because you measure fuel, not count it.

You can say that Akua has fewer shillings than Efua, or you can say that Akua has less money than Efua. ( You can not say that Efua has shillings or that Kwaku has less litres ). Money is measured while coins and bills are counted.

Glocery store managers display their illiteracy when they put up signs in the express lanes saying ten items or less instead of ten items or fewer.

Forum and Fora :

A forum is a place being used for communication within a group or collection of persons. Historically it was a physical gathering place, but metaphorically it could be in a newspaper or on internet.

More than one "forum" is not "forums." They are "fora." The word has a Latin origin so we do not make the plural by adding the letter "s." The word "fora" refers to several places for discussion. Few people use the word "fora" any more.

In general, "s" is not used to indicate plural for words that are borrowed from Latin. The singular ( one ) should and in "um" while the plural ( more than one ) should end in "a." Examples include : stadium, stadia; medium, media; datum;data. ( The word "media" means more than one medium of communication, ie newspaper, radio and TV ).

Hippopotomonstrousquipedalianism :

Do not use long words.

Hopefully :

Do not use "hopefully" unless you state exactly who is doing the hoping. Say : "They stood hopefully in the rain waiting for the rock star to appear."

Do not say: "Hopefully the bear will stay out of the village, or "Hopefully I will come in time." Say "We hope that the bear will stay out of the village," and "I hope that i will come in time."

Avoid all "....fully" words if you do not specify who is doing the action.

In Spite :

There is no such word as "inspite." Make sure you use the two words separately, "in" and "spite."

Input and Put in :

An "input" is a noun, a thing, It is what you put into a project or process.

"Input" is not verb. You can not say you input something into a project or a process.
You put something in, where "put" is the verb.

Common Errors in Writing ( part 1 )

Writing is a pleasant work for a writer or everybody's writing hobby. Sometimes we on writing lack pay attention a little matter like common errors in writing.

This below a few of the common errors in writing that hinder good communication

Ain't :

Some people believe that we should never use the word "ain't" in the English language. It is, however , a legitimate and valid word - if it is used in the right place. It is a contraction for "am not"

The sentence, "I ain't going to school today," is therefore correct. It means, "Iam not going to school to day." It can be used only for the first person singular ( 1 ). It can not be used with "we,", "they" "you" "thou". "he", "she," or any proper noun.

Advice versus Advise.

Advuce is a noun, something that you give. It this a thing. Say, "please give me some advice"
Advise is a verb, something that you do. It is some action. Say, "Please advise me"

Affect and Effect :

As verbs, they differ. To affect something is to have some influence upon it. To effect some action is to cause it to happen.

As nouns, they also differ. Affect is like affection, related to emotion. Effect is a result.

Apart and Part :

One is a single word; the other includes two word. "Apart" mean two things are seperate or away from each other. A "part" means one thing is. a portion or an element of another.

A wall is usually seen as a "part" of a house, for example, while a fence is seen as "apart" from the house.

How Important to Manage Time in Our Daily Life

Western people say that time is money. They use time well, have full discipline and responsibility in running a job. So, for career persons, "time is money". Everybody needs money. It shows that money takes an important role in everybody's life. Without having money, anybody can't buy anything. they consider that the importance of money is the same as the importance of time in their daily life.

Persons who neglect their time will cause unlucky things to them. For example : An architect who does not attend the meeting for planning a building for a hotel will have big loss though he has signed the contract. So, a student who can't manage her time because she does not schedule the activities will not pass her examination.

Therefore, managing time is important. All of us know that time can't be reviewed. So, when we face unlucky things because of our own fault, we shall regret later.

How do we manage our time in daily life? Make a schedule, after making a schedule, we must obey the schedule we make. It will help us. What time will we start a certain activity. The below are the right steps to manage time well.

1. Consider what kind of activities that we will do on the day.
2. Select those activities that we give priority.
3. Make a schedule, put the important activities in the list of the schedule.
4. Do our activities according to our schedule.
5. Avoid the activities that only waste our time. For example going some places without planning.
6. Avoid the habit of canceling an activity. Use our time effectively.
   

How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty

Are you chronically over - committed? Rushing from one task to another, with no time for your self? The key is to have a strong vision of what you want to say yes to. Then you'll feel far more confident saying no. Here practical steps to say no without feeling guilty.

1. Decide which activities you truly love. If you say focused on those things, then the next time you are asked to volunteer or get involved in a time- consuming activity, just check in. If the request takes you too far from what you are already dedicating yourself to, it's easier to say no.

2. Get over the need to be nice. Stop being afraid to disappoint people, and let go of the sense of importance you get from being indispensable.

3. Be clear when you say no. No means no. Ambiguities like "Maybe after the first of the year "or" Let me get back to you" leave the other person thinking you're actually interested, when you' re not.

4. Practice saying no in non-threatening situations, when you have little at stake and success is almost assured. Then you'll work up to resigning from the board of directors and stop signing up for committe work. Learn that carving out time for yourself and your family requires no reason and no apology.

5. Say no to requests for money in simple language and give no explanation. Contribute to the causes that excite you and complement your values. Then you'll feel confident saying, "My contributions have already been allocated this year."

6. Keep it simple. The most effective nos are the least complicated. The more details you supply, the more likely the other person will challenge you or try to change your mind.

7. Make a compromise while you're learning to say no. If you're asked to bring cookies to an event, opt for store-bought sweets instead of slaving away in the kitchen.

8. Re-evaluate your current commitments. You may have agreed to a long-term commitments months ago but now see that it's not working for you. Talk with the people involved and come up with an arrangement that works for everyone.

Please don't sue me!

A local charity had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The director called to get a contribution.
" Our records show you make $500,000 a year, yet you haven't given a penny to charity," the director began. "Wouldn't you like to help the community?"
The lawyer replied, "Did your research show that my mother is ill, with medical bills several times her annual income?"
"Um, no,"said the director.
"Or that my brother is blind and unemployed?" The stricken director began to stammer and an apology.
" Or that my sister's husband died in accident," said the lawyer, his voice rising in indignation "leaving her penniless with three kids?"
The humiliated director said simply, "I had no idea."
"So, if I don't give any money to them, why would I give money to them, why would I give money to you?'

The Laws of Arguing

Not everyone can make a good argument, and not everyone can argue well. A good communication skill is required. What is the essence of argument and how to argue well? Below are some laws of arguing according to Gerry Spence:

1. Everyone is capable of making the winning argument.
2. Winning is getting what we want, which also means helping "others" get what they want.
3. Learn that words are a weapon and can be used hostilely in combat.
4. Know that there is always a "biological advantage" of delivering the truth.
5. Assault is not argument.
6. Use fear as an ally in public speaking or in argument. Learn to convert its energy.
7. Let emotions show and don't discourage passion.
8. Don't be blinded by brilliance.
9. Learn to speak with the body. The body sometimes speaks more powerfully than words.
10. Know that the enemy is not the person with whom we are engaged in a failing argument, but the vision within ourselves.

Dalam Kesendirian

Di malam hari......
Ku terbangun dari tidur
Ku buka jendela, hanya gelap gulita menghiasi malam
Kutatap langit dengan tebaran bintang - bintang
Kuhirup udara malam dalam - dalam, kehampaan makin terasa

Dalam kesendirianku....
Ku duduk termenung, ntah apa yang sedang kurenungkan
Dinginnya udara malam
Membalut sekujur tubuhku
Seakan tak peduli diriku

Gonggongan anjing memecah keheningan malam
Diiringi suara deritan dedaunan akibat terpaan angin kencang
Menghapus renungan dan lamunanku
Ku masih terpaku dalam kebisuan
Dan tak terasa begitu panjang kulewati malam ini.
