“Sejarah dibuat bukan oleh satu orang. Tapi sejarah digoreskan oleh banyak orang yang seringkali usaha mereka jarang dicatat dan tidak pernah dikenal di luar lingkungan mereka.”, begitu Julius Lesner menutup pengantar dalam buku ini. Dengan alasan inilah kita tidak akan menemukan sosok besar yang dikenal secara umum namun secara apik Julius Lesner justru lebih tertarik mengangkat “sosok hebat” sebagai pribadi-pribadi yang berbuat apa adanya dalam kehidupan ini.

Keramaian dalam sebuah earphone

Earphone saya beberapa hari ini sangat ramai. Ramai dengan bunyi-bunyian pengalih perhatian. Entah musik, atau sekedar streaming, earphone saya ramai olehnya.

Beberapa alasan yang membuat saya membiarkan earphone saya ramai, adalah alasan berikut:

  1. Saya sedang tidak ingin terlibat percakapan dengan seseorang pun.
  2. Saya sedang masyuk dengan suatu materi yang ada di depan layar komputer jinjing saya.
  3. Earphone membantu saya mengalihkan perhatian atas sesuatu yang kurang diperkenankan yang sedang terjadi di depan saya. 
  4. Dalam keadaaan tidak menyalakan bunyi-bunyian apapun, earphone tetap terpasang di telinga menunjukkan bahwa saya sedang ingin dianggap seolah-olah sedang tidak ingin terlibat percapakan dengan seseorang pun.
Entah, mungkin anda mengalami hal yang serupa. Pada beberapa hal, earphone sangat membantu anda untuk fokus namun pada hal membuat anda asri (asik sendiri) dan mengabaikan keadaan sekitar.

Kebenaran Kadang Selalu Menuntut Keringat

Kebenaran tidak selalu berbanding lurus dengan keumuman pandangan seseorang, bahkan masyarakat. Tidak semua yang dianggap benar oleh seseorang, bahkan oleh masyarakat itu benar adanya.

Pada jaman ketika kebenaran yang dianggap benar oleh kolektif menjadi keharusan untuk dianggap benar oleh seseorang. Pun ketika tidak ada ketersetujuan, dapat muncul upaya pemaksaan kelompok untuk meyakinkan kebenaran kelompoknya.

Mencari Asa Lintang

Dasyat

Menyemai Semangat di Negeri Seberang

Dahsyat

Bagaimana Engkau Dibesarkan?

Masa kecil dan kehidupan keluarga di masa lalu kerap menjadi faktor penentu pembentukan sudut pandang seseorang terhadap suatu masalah. Pembentukan sudut pandang ini akan erat kaitannya dalam melihat, mengamati, mengidentifikasi, dan menganalisis suatu masalah yang dihadapinya.

Pada kehidupan masa kecil yang dipaksa untuk memenuhi target tertentu, kerap kali ............

Kebutuhan Untuk Memberontak

Dalam kehidupan yang tiada aral melintang, momentum sulit ditemukan.

Daya pegas akan hidup juga sulit menunjukkan potensialnya.

Memberontak akan (kah) memicu pegas hidup?

Sehingga membuatmu bergerak menjadi insan yang hidup? Yang menunjukkan tanda-tanda hidup, yaitu bergerak dan tumbuh.

Apabila tiada gerak dan tumbuh, akan engkau dipandang sebagai makhluk hidup?

Apakah memberontak itu perlu?

Lampu Merah

Di lampu merah, terdapat segudang harapan tertahan dalam pergantian warna merah, kuning, dan hijau. Begitu banyak asa muncul ketika merahnya menyala, begitu pula harapan yang muncul ketika warna kuning akan muncul dalam hitungan jari.

Perjalanan Akan Mengajarimu

Ketika jengah melanda dan keterkungkungan akan suatu situasi membuat pikiranmu menyempit, berkelana lah. Perjalanan akan mengajarimu ruang terhadap kehidupan ini berputar menurut suatu aturan di luar imaginasimu. Kreasi dan inspirasi kadang muncul pada simpul-simpul momen tak terduga. Berkelana lah dan alam akan mengajarimu

A Line of Life

Everyone will face all kind of feeling in their life. Whether it is a good ones or a bad ones, it’s a phase that have to be taken. The all kind of feelings that happen into you will make you become a mature people in your next step of life. A lot of people believe it. Me too.

When we’re young, everyday was a such a cool day. No thinking of works, relationship with other kind of complex stuff and other adult problems. We just saw ourselves as a player-cause we just all day playing- in our daily activities, no others.

And we grew. Have no choice like being a eternal in childhood. Peterpan has same problem with us. He didn’t attracted with all joyful in adult period but life has to go on.

Thingking deeply into something that we called a works is daily problem we’ve to faced. Weight of works, clash in relationship with other is another kind of problem ahead.

It’s a joyful to feel all kind of feeling. You can have a lot of story that can be passed on your child or grandchild in the future. So cheer up for your life! Now and Then. :)

We’re just to try to do it now.

A Pet

````````Do you find a pet shop in your environment? Yes, a pet shop show how important to some people. There are a lot kind of animal that people like to having them in their house. A cat, dog, bird, rabbit are common ones. The others choose an extremely kind of animal like a turtle, snake, monkey, tiger or even a crocodile are in list of choice. Everybody has a reason what the story of behind choosing those animal.

````````It’s a natural behave when we have an animal in order to giving another love for them. Them means not only human but also animal are receivable for its love. In some kind of people, giving love for his/her pet is more interesting than for his/her couple. It may for a reason that animal can show true love without any masked or disguising acts to love with its owner. Human are often show a false or disguised love to other seems a common lies. Sometimes couple are betraying and hurt each other till they get separated apart or even divorce for marriage couple. But in other way, animal show it true love tor its owner. When we give a very kind treatments to our animal, they will reply that in good response too. We can see this phenomenon on a holywood film like “Free Willy” or japanese outstanding dog film “hachiko”. Thoose film show a sincere love from an animal to us as human being. What a tearful film those are.

````````There’s some advantages in caring an animal as a pet in your house. A reciprocal and balanced love sharing between the owners to their pet can reduce a stressed condition when we’re tired from work outside the house. By having a pet in our house, we might be trained indirectly to be a responsible, caring people and raising forgiveness and love for what we have to do. We can reduce a lonely feeling when we’re far away from our family. I believe that our life will be more joyful with a pet existence in our surroundings.

````````Having a pet gives us some advantages to our live. But a pet itself is just an animal with a tamed touch. We can’t neglect for their animal instinct. In order that, when we decided to having a pet in your house, you have to be ready for its consequences. We have to aware that they have to feed properly and regularly. Preparing a worth food for them everyday and taking to a doctor when they have a disease attack are also become a must to do acts. Believe me, those consequences are worth with the love we’ll get from them.
