Buat temen-temen,
Selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa ya..

Kita ini adalah sama..
Sama-sama dilahirkan oleh ibu dan mengalami fase demi fase pertumbuhan..

Ya, kita sama..
Sampai kita dihadapkan pada masalah dan kesulitan..
Kita akan ditantang, bagaimanakah kita menyikapinya?
Dan bagaimana cara kita menyikapinya, itulah yang menunjukkan diri kita.

Tetap semangatt!! :)

Bolak-balik Solo-Jogja emang bikin capek, apalagi mau ke Jakarta. Makanya aku memutuskan untuk di Jogja selama beberapa hari, baru kemudian langsung berangkat ke Jakarta. Banyak kerjaan di Jogja yang nggak bisa ditinggal.

Btw, kemarin aku beli novel Ayat-Ayat Cinta, udah ada 2 orang yang merekomendasikan aku baca novel ini.. bikin aku penasaran aja!! Nyari di Gramedia Solo nggak ada :D, trus pas di Jogja dapet deh di Terban.. :)

Menurut Tanteku yang kemarin kehilangan anaknya, Asmaul Husna itu kurang 3:

  1. Maha Pencemburu
  2. Maha Humoris
  3. Maha Menangan Dhewe Sakpole!! (Maha Paling Berkuasa.. ini kan sudah masuk Asmaul Husna, Tanteku sayang..).

Aku setuju yang Maha Pencemburu dan Maha Humoris, bukan buat usul kalo Asmaul Husna ditambah 2 *ampuuun* :D, tapi lebih pada mencermati aja pada sifat-sifat khususnya:

  • Maha Pencemburu => kalau kita terlalu memuja sesuatu selain Allah dengan kecintaan yang berlebihan, sampai kayak menyembah berhala aja.. maka kita akan mendapat musibah atas hal tersebut. Hal ini berlaku untuk semua hal. Mempertuhan dirinya, seseorang bahkan anak sendiri, harta, jabatan, dll. Allah tu nggak mau diduain. Lihat aja kalimat “Tiada Tuhan Selain Allah”. Cemburuan banget kan!! :D
  • Maha Humoris => kalau kita sungguh-sungguh banget terhadap suatu hal, misalnya A. Bukan nggak mungkin DIA akan mengubah ke B yang berbeda 180 derajat, itu gampang banget bagi DIA. Usaha kita sampe jengkang-jengking kadang nggak ngaruh. Wah.. KAMU sedang becanda ya, Allah? :D Dan kalo udah gitu nggak ada yang bisa kita lakukan selain menerimanya sebagai aturan hidup, nggak boleh putus asa!! Banyak sisi humorisNYA yang lain. Kata Mas QZoners, termasuk dalam penciptaan manusia. Manusia terlalu sering ingkar, tapi tetep Allah ciptakan.. Pengen masuk surga, tapi dikasih tau jalannya malah nggak mau, malah milih jalan tol ke neraka.

Hahaha..kalau aku sih..malu sendiri, udah kebanyakan dosa soalnya!! Masak mau aku tambahin lagi?? Jadi sudah, diminimalisir aja.. walaupun tentu saja masih jauh dari sempurna.

Seorang sahabat mengirimkan sebuah tulisan dalam format ppt ke emailku. Sangat inspiring.

Jerry is the manager of a restaurant. He is always in a good mood.
When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would always reply,
“If I were any better, I would be twins!”
Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs when he changed jobs,
so they could follow him around from restaurant to restaurant
Why?
Because Jerry was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him
“I don’t get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?”
Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood.
I always choose to be in a good mood.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I always choose the positive side of life.”
“But it’s not always that easy,“ I protested.
“Yes it is,” Jerry said.
Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk every situation is a choice.
You choose how you react to situations.
You choose how people will affect your mood.
You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.
It’s your choice how you live your life.”

Several years later,
I heard that Jerry accidentally did something you are never supposed to do in the restaurant business.
He left the back door of his restaurant open.
And then ???
In the morning, he was robbed by three armed men.
While Jerry trying to open the safe box, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination.
The robbers panicked and shot him.

Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the hospital.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, “If I were any better, I’d be twins. Want to see my scars?”
I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.
“The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied.
“Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or could choose to die. I chose to live.”
“Weren’t you scared,” I asked.
Jerry continued, “The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine.

But when they wheeled me into the Emergency Room and I saw the expression on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.
In their eyes, I read ‘He’s a dead man.’
I knew I needed to take action.”
“What did you do?” I asked.
“Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic to anything.”
“Yes,” I replied.
The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.
I took a deep breath
and yelled, “Bullets!”
Over their laughter, I told them,
“I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.”
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
I learned from him that every day you have the choice to either enjoy your life or to hate it.

The only thing that is truly yours — that no one can control or take from you — is your attitude, so if you can take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier.

Makasih ya Mas Herison.. :)

Hmmm..
Kalau ada sesuatu yang paling harus dibenahi dari bangsa Indonesia, jawabannya adalah: JIWAnya!! Sepertinya kita sudah lupa dengan lagu kebangsaan sendiri.. “Bangunlah jiwanya, bangunlah badannya.. untuk Indonesia Raya”
Merdeka!!! Huehuehuehuehue..
