My Business

"One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community." -- Albert Einstein "Productivity is determined not by work... but by EFFECTIVE actions disguised as work." -- Doug Firebaugh "You can always find reasons to work. There will always be one more thing to do. But when people don't take time out, they stop being productive. They stop being happy, and that affects the morale of everyone around them." -- Carisa Bianchi "Companies think they ‘save money’ by cutting back on employees who serve (help) customers. Big mistake. The only people happy about that are companies who have plenty of people (and make plenty of money) like Home Depot." -- Jeffrey Gitomer

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you . -Maori proverb Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action . -Benjamin Disraeli It may be possible to incorporate laugher into daily activities, just as is done with other heart-healthy activities, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. The recommendation for a healthy heart may one day be exercise, eat right and laugh a few times a day . -- Michael Miller , MD

Berdiri gagah di puncak bukit pucuk pohonnya menusuk awan berleher langit biru nan cerah megah ranting dengan rimbun daunnya Kupu kupu berkejaran riang timbulkan cemburu pada cemara yang sendirian sendiri dalam kesunyian yang dalam hanya berteman rumput2 liar serta angin yg selalu diam Seekor merpati terbang melintas hinggap sesat lalu kepakkan sayap membawa berita pada dunia pohon itu cemara satu satunya Cemara terakhir di puncak bukit teruslah engkau bertahan di sana jangan sampai kau gugur layu sebelum tumbuh generasi penggantimu. .. with soleh sugianto

You are not perfect. Nobody is. You make mistakes. Everybody does. You have flaws and shortcomings. Everybody does. When you make mistakes, when your shortcomings are revealed, don't think that you are condemned, don't think that you are useless. Your true value lies not in what you have achieved, not in how much money you have in the bank, not in the size of your salary, not in how much knowledge you have in your brains, but in the fact that you are you. Everybody is different. But in a way, everybody is the same - every single person has his strengths and weaknesses. Despite your imperfections, you are a complete person - don't think otherwise. Accepting yourself for what you are does not mean giving up efforts to better or improve yourself. It means recognizing your value as a person. Always recognizing it. Even when you fail, you are still valuable. Self acceptance is a key factor in an individual's outlook on life. By accepting yourself first,...

A negative attitude can be contagious. Fortunately, so can a positive attitude. One of the biggest challenges of staying positively focused can come from the negative people who cross your path. Yet instead of letting them get you down, you can choose to lift them up. When someone is rude to you, the most powerful response is not to reply with your own rudeness. After all, what would that accomplish? Your best choice in such a situation is to respond with courtesy, kindness, consideration and understanding. Though it may seem strange and unnatural at first, it can have a profoundly positive impact on the situation. Most people, when given the chance, will be glad for you to rescue them from their own negative momentum. When you come across someone who is clearly in a bad mood, you have the opportunity to be the best part of that person's day. Seize that opportunity and make the most of it. When you give a little kindness, it can make a big, big difference.   ...

1.CONFIDENCE : One Day all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered & Only one boy comes with umbrella. THAT'S CONFIDENCE. * 2.TRUST : Trust should be like feeling of a 1 year old baby, When you throw him in the air, he laughs.... Because he knows you will catch him... * 3.HOPE: Every night we go to bed, Have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning But still we have many plans for coming day... KEEP CONFIDENCE, TRUST IN GOD AND NEVER LOSE HOPE...*

"Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally." - David Frost - *~*~*~*~*~* Success Is Waiting For You Nature is at work around you. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence. You have the power to choose which impulses you will follow. Your character is formed by your circumstances, but your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances. What's really ennobling in the doctrine of free will is the conviction that you have the power over the formation of your own character. You can at any time decideto alter the course of your life. No one can ever take that away from you. You're the master or your joys and sorrows. The greatest power you possess is the power to choose. You're the captain of your soul. 

"How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us, and keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and to do what really matters most." -- Stephen Covey "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." -- Martin Luther King, Jr. "Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." -- Mark Twain "When we carve out a niche for ourselves in our imagined future, and decide that we won’t be happy until we achieve it, we can only feel threatened and anxious over anything that stands in our way." -- Nido Qubein "Ultimately the people who win, who achieve victory in Life are the people who are committed to it. They outlast everybody else. Because quite frankly all success in business, all success in relationships, all success in life comes at the end of the road of commitment!" -- Chris Widener (excerpted from Winning with I...

Di rumah kami memiliki kebiasaan memberikan makan pada burung-burung gereja yang liar berterbangan kesana kemari. Kadang kami memberikan remah-remah roti. Namun yang paling sering adalah memberikan nasi. Sering saya mengamati perilaku burung-burung tersebut. Yang sangat menarik, jarang sekali saya melihat mereka berebut. Bahkan sebaliknya. Ketika seekor burung melihat nasi yang disiapkan, sering mereka datang, mengambil sedikit, kemudian mulai berkicau memanggil teman-temannya. Mulanya hanya satu. Kemudian dua, tiga, empat dan kadang sampai belasan. Melihat mereka berdatangan, makan bersama, berkicau dengan riang adalah suatu pemandangan yang indah dan menggembirakan. Sungguh kita manusia harus belajar dari mahluk mungil ini. Seandainya kita lebih sering mau berbagi tentu hidup ini akan lebih indah. Berbagi jalan agar orang bisa lewat lebih dahulu. Berbagi ruang di lift walau berarti kita harus menunggu. Berbagi senyum walau hati kita sedang pilu. Berbagi peluang. Berbagi ilmu. Da...

When subjective feelings arrange your effort, and activity is obsessed with objects, the matter of your self is neglected; not believing in true universal knowledge in oneself, you'll never attain true awakening.

It is hard to be born as a human being and hard to live the life of one. It is even harder to hear of the path and harder still to awake, to rise, and to follow. Yet the teaching is simple: "Cease to do evil, learn to do good. And purify your mind."

You've failed many times, although you may not remember. You fell down the first time you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim, didn't you? Did you hit the ball the first time you swung a bat? Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home runs, also strike out a lot. R.H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York caught on. English novelist John Creasey got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books. Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times, but he also hit 714 home runs. Don't worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try. Have a positive day!

Kegemaran tampil dan pamer kemewahan adalah ciri - ciri orang yang kurang percaya diri terhadap kekuatan dan kematangan pribadinya.

"I want to demonstrate by my life and my results, not my talk, not my wishes, but by my results." -- Gerry Robert "It is not what you say or hope or wish or intend but only what you do that counts. Your choices tell you unerringly who you really are." -- Brian Tracy "Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That’s why they make those fourth grade chairs so small – so you won’t fit in them at age twenty-five!" -- Jim Rohn "We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service." -- Earl Nightingale

"Think ‘impossible’ and dreams get discarded, projects get abandoned, and hope for wellness is torpedoed. But let someone yell the words ‘It's possible,’ and resources we hadn't been aware of come rushing in to assist us in our quest. I believe we are all potentially brilliant and creative -- but only if we believe it, only if we have an attitude of positive expectancy toward our ideas, and only if we act on them." -- Greg Anderson

Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. -- Robert Heinlein Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt of, not swallowed . –- Josh Billings, 1818-1885, American Humorist and Lecturer First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win . - - Mahatma Gandhi The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate . –- Oprah Winfrey, American Talk Show Host/Actress/ Entrepreneur Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open . –- Rose Wilder Lane , 1886-1968, American Writer and Journalist You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he be willing to climb himself. -- Andrew Carnegie How much should a person give to help the world out? -- bangzippow Life is not separate from death.

Shaykh Muhammad Maulud Translated into English by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf We gratefully acknowledge and thank the Zaytuna Institute for giving us the permission to reproduce this. This is an edited transcription of excerpts from the audio tapes of the course Shaykh Hamza gave based on his translation of Shaykh Muhammad Maulud's Matharatul Qulub: The Alchemy of the Heart. Shaykh Hamza's Preview to the Course The Heart Allah subhanahu wa t'ala says, "On that day nothing will benefit the human being, neither wealth nor children, only the one who brings Allah a sound heart." A sound heart is one that is free of defects and spiritual blemishes. Though the spiritual heart is centred in the physical heart, the heart being referred to here is the spiritual heart, not the physical heart. In ancient Chinese medicine, the heart houses what is known as "chen" which is "a spirit." The Chinese character for "thinking," "thought,...

“Kami perintahkan kepada manusia supaya berbuat baik kepada dua orang ibu bapaknya, ibunya mengandungnya dengan susah payah, dan melahirkannya dengan susah payah (pula).Mengandungnya sampai menyapihnya adalah tiga puluh bulan, sehingga apabila ia telah dewasa dan umurnya sampai empat puluh tahun ia berdo'a: "Ya Tuhanku, tunjukilah aku untuk mensyukuri nikmat Engkau yang telah Engkau berikan kepadaku daN kepada ibu bapakku dan supaya aku dapat berbuat amal yang saleh yang Engkau ridhai; berilah kebaikan kepadaku dengan (memberi kebaikan) kepada anak cucuku.Sesungguhnya aku bertaubat kepada Engkau dan sesungguhnya aku termasuk orang-orang yang berserah diri".
