Friendship

We can not live without other people. We need others to meet our needs and to attain happiness. The saying describes the importance of communication in friendship.

Communication in our lives is mainly based on our relationship with others. We interact with others to share information. To exchange  ideas, to make plans, and to solve problems.

To maintain our good communication and relationship with others on friendship, we can take the three basic steps below.

Try to Listen

When communicating with others, listening is very important. Our partner will be happy if we pay attention to him. We should notice that listening also needs the facial expressions. When others talking to us, we should look at their eyes to show that we are interested in the topic. The basic principle in listening is giving and taking. This principle means that we should not only act as storyteller who dominates the conversation. We must also behave as as good listener when others are talking to us. We will always learn something new if we are willing to give opportunities to others to state their opinions. Surely, our friends will get very bored if we dominate the conversation.

Show Respect

We should be careful when we are engaged in a conversation. We should not underestimate our friends, we should respect them. To respect others, we should let them express themselves. We should also open ourselves to others so that we can develop our lives better. We should remember that we are not supposed to force others to do what we want. Different ideas, philosophy of lives, and characters will always enrich our understanding towards lives.

Give Smiles

 People believe that smiling is like an effective medicine that cures all diseases. When we say something wrong unintentionally, others will tolerate our mistakes if we honestly admit our mistakes. Asking for apologies while smiling is a good way to build closer relationship with others on friendship.

Speaking without smiling will indeed create a monotonous communication. However, we must also consider the situation in which we are engaged. In this case, we must understand whether we have a serious or relaxed conversation. When we discuss a serious matter, we should not smile too often so that we can maintain the atmosphere. To conclude, smile only when necessary.

Quotation

Our greatest moral problem today is cowardice.
It's cowardice that prevents us from coming up with new thoughts

Airlines with the best Wi-Fi

Remember the days when flying long distance meant at least nine guaranteed hours offline?

Of course you don't, your brain is far too frazzled by constantly having to check Facebook and emails.

According to new statistics released this week by air industry data cruncher Routehappy, flying without Wi-Fi access is becoming increasingly rare as more airlines connect their customers.

This is good news for anyone who needs to Instagram their inflight meal or fabricate Twitter spats with imaginary passengers.

Bad news for those who need to unjack themselves from the Matrix for long enough to watch a weepy movie and re-balance their blood-Smirnoff levels.

According to Routehappy, there's now a 24% chance your international flight will have Wi-Fi access. On domestic U.S. flights the odds rise to 66% -- a figure nearly triple what it was 18 months ago.

Connection quality and speed are also improving, it reports.

 

"Wi-Fi is one of the most sought-after new amenities fliers want to access on their flights, and there has been significant investment by airlines since our last report," says Routehappy CEO Robert Albert.

"Coverage is starting to be meaningful on flights worldwide, along with a wide variety of speeds, coverage availability and pricing models, including free of charge."

Internationally, Nordic airlines are leading the connectivity charge, with Icelandair and Norwegian both offering Wi-Fi on more than 80% of their flights. (The number of flights this represents isn't specified.)

The next four -- Etihad Airways, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa and Iberia -- currently only supply it to between 40-60% of flights. 

Aeroflot, Emirates and Japan Airlines are in the 20-30% range, while Qatar Airways, Thai Airways and Turkish Airlines score between 15 and 20%.

For U.S. airlines, Delta leads the game, offering Wi-Fi across more than 3,500 of its daily flights.

Routehappy doesn't offer any comparative statistics between U.S. and international operators.

Pentingnya Air dalam Kehidupan Sehari - hari

Air merupakan unsur pokok yang dibutuhkan untuk kelangsungan hidup di muka bumi ini. Manusia, hewan dan tumbuhan membutuhkan air, jika tidak ada air pasti kehidupan akan sangat terganggu. Coba kita bayangkan tanaman yang nggak pernah disirami air pasti akan kekeringan dan lama kelamaan  mati. Hewan piaraan bila kekurangan air minum juga akan sakit. Tubuh kita bila kekurangan air yang terjadi adalah terganggunya sistem metabolisme pada tubuh kita sehingga akan menimbulkan berbagai macam penyakit. Sistem irigasi atau pengairan di sawah akan terganggu dan terhenti bila tidak tersedia air. Bahkan tanah yang tak tersiram air akan gersang dan kurang bagus untuk bercocok tanam.
 

Lalu bagaimana kita mendapatkan air bersih dan sehat untuk mencukupi kebutuhan hidup sehari hari?  Masyarakat perkotaan kebanyakan mendapatkan air dari PDAM, sedangkan masyarakat yang tinggal di pedesaan sebagaian besar memperoleh air dari sumur dan sungai untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari - hari seperti mandi, mencuci, memasak dan air minum. Tetapi dewasa ini untuk mendapatkkan air yang bersih dan sehat tidaklah semudah jaman dahulu. Pencemaran air kini telah terjadi. Masih kita jumpai masyarakat membuang sampah tidak pada tempatnya bahkan seenaknya membuang sampah di sungai, hal ini akan menyebabkan air sungai kotor dan berbau. Penggunaaan potas dan bahan kimia lainnya oleh pencari ikan di sungai juga akan berbahaya karena air akan mengandung racun dari potas atau bahan kimia tersebut. Pencemaran air  ini terjadi karena kurangnya  kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pentingnya menjaga kebersihan air dan kelestarian sumber mata air

Untuk menanggulangi dan mengatasi pencemaran air perlunya campur tangan berbagai pihak terutama dinas terkait yang berhubungan dengan perairan untuk memberikan penyuluhan kepada masyarakat khususnya yang tinggal di pedesaan dan pinggiran kota tentang pentingnya menjaga air bersih dan kelestarian sumber mata air karena air sangat penting dalam kehidupan sehari – hari. Penyuluhan ini bisa dilakukan melalui perkumpulan ibu - ibu atau pada waktu kegiatan PKK atau pun perkumpulan pemuda melalui kegiatan Karang Taruna di pedesaan maupun pinggiran kota terutama masyarakat yang tinggal di komplek dekat sungai. Dengan adanya penyuluhan tersebut diharapkan masyarakat sadar dan punya pengetahuan akan pentingnya menjaga kebersihan air dan menjaga kelestarian sumber mata air agar tetap murni , bersih dan sehat, selain dari itu agar masyarakat tahu akibat atau dampak dari pencemaran air yang dapat mengakibatkan timbulnya penyakit dan rusaknya keseimbangan alam.

Kita tidak perlu khawatir untuk memperoleh air bersih dan sehat yang dapat dikonsumsi ( diminum ) setiap hari karena telah hadir air mineral seperti AQUA yang siap diminum setiap saat. Mengingat pentingnya air bersih dan sehat dalam kehidupan sehari – hari kehadiran air mineral ini sangat membantu masyarakat Indonesia untuk memeperoleh air minum yang bersih dan sehat, di mana  air mineral tersebut diambil dari sumber mata air murni di pegunungan yang kemudian disuling secara higienis dan steril .Mari kita awali pada diri kita untuk hidup sehat dengan mengkonsumsi air mineral dan menjaga kelestarian lingkungan dan air.
