Health sense: What to do about head injuries

2010-12-25T09:27:00.000-08:00

Head injuries are one of the most common reasons people consult a doctor. The degree of head injuries can range from mild, only resulting in minor bruises or wounds, to severe or life-threatening. Moreover, the injury process can be primary or secondary. Primary injuries result from the damage done by the actual impact.

On the other hand, secondary injuries are subsequent changes that occur as a result of the initial insult. Thus secondary head injuries add further damage.

Unfortunately, there is very little that anybody can do about serious brain injury. For example, a person who sustains massive brain injury from a steamroller will need a miracle to live a productive life after the incident. Fortunately, minor to moderate primary head injuries and secondary brain injuries can be satisfactorily treated.

Secondary injuries, as mentioned, are the secondary events that occur after the primary injury. They can cause or contribute to further brain damage. Most commonly, these include bleeding, swelling of the brain (cerebral edema), and death of brain tissue (cerebral infarction) from lack of blood flow and oxygen to the brain. A speedy and appropriate management can make a great difference in determining the outcome or prognosis.

Let’s take a look at minor head injuries. A concussion occurs when there is an accelerative force to the brain greater than 200 milliseconds. Concussions can cause loss of consciousness, memory loss or amnesia, confusion with subsequent headaches, nausea, grogginess, irritability and vomiting.

The degree of concussion varies but there should be no significant long-term after-effects or sequelae if: 1) the period of loss of consciousness is less than 10 minutes and 2) the patient is well orientated with no neurological deficit when seen at the Accident and Emergency Department of the hospital.

What about major head injuries? Management must start at the site of trauma. After a neurological examination, prompt resuscitation to provide for an adequate blood pressure and oxygenation has been shown to significantly improve the prognosis.

Medical management is focused on preventing cerebral edema and high blood pressure. Since 60 percent of head injuries involve neck injuries, oxygen may be administered through a tube until serious neck injuries have been excluded. Medicines to prevent seizures are given to prevent further damage and loss of oxygen. Dilantin, the drug of choice for seizures, can be tapered off after a week unless delayed seizures occur. Hyperventilation or the rapid artificial oxygenation of the patient should not be done. This is because blood flow to the brain has been shown to be low during the first 24 hours and hyperventilation will just worsen the case. Antibiotic therapy is a good idea especially when there are multiple injuries or open wounds.

Ideally, the patient is brought to a tertiary-level hospital with well-developed head injury services and resident neurosurgeons.

An unconscious patient should immediately undergo a CT scan of the brain as well as x-ray imaging of the spinal column and chest. Should there be difficulty in maintaining blood pressure, the medical team will look for other sources of bleeding because there cannot be that much bleeding in the brain to cause a blood pressure drop.

If internal bleeding is present, it may accumulate inside space surrounding the lungs. This is called pleural effusion. Draining the accumulated fluid treats pleural effusion. Also, by providing low-flow oxygenation, the patient’s blood pressure should remain stable.

If a large clot in the brain is detected on CT scan, surgery is needed. Damaged brain tissue is removed to minimize the likelihood of swelling. Fractures are commonly present and will be treated accordingly.
Sometimes, the fractures can cause the fluid in the spine to leak out into the cavities of the nose and ears. Initially, the head will be elevated to prevent this. Antibiotics may be prescribed and the doctor may order lumbar cerebrospinal fluid drainage.

If these conservative measures fail, surgical repair will have to be done to prevent meningitis, the inflammation of the membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord.

A significant brain swelling is treated by surgically removing a large bone flap from the skull. This will afford space for the brain to expand. Another surgery is needed to correct the deformity left by the initial procedure.

In the Intensive Care Unit, vital signs are carefully monitored to ensure the brain is receiving enough oxygen. The head of the bed is elevated to at least 30 degrees to promote good circulation.

Medicines like Mannitol can be given to reduce the pressure within the skull. A comatose patient should have full coma nursing care with regular turning, chest and limb physiotherapy. An artificial airway may be done surgically (tracheotomy) if the patient is expected to be on assisted respiration. Uncontrolled intracranial pressure rise causes a poor prognosis. Medically inducing a coma can be done to correct this. However, results have been relatively disappointing, especially in children.

In summary, quick and efficient response to head injuries promote a better outcome for the patient.

Minor to moderate head injuries are easily treated in the AED. On the other hand, severe head injuries need referral to appropriately equipped hospitals.

The goal in treating severe head injuries is to prevent further damage to the brain. This is done by adequate oxygenation, relieving the pressure inside the skull, stopping the swelling of the brain (cerebral edema) and treating other injuries like fractures. Close contact nursing care is needed throughout the recovery phase of the patient.

Yogic breathing for high altitude

2010-12-20T10:23:00.000-08:00

A couple of months ago, I was visiting a mountainous area about 4,200 meters above sea level, when yoga came my rescue. We had flown on a chopper for much of the way up there, hardly giving us any time to acclimatize, and as I sat in the car going up the mountain, I began to feel a mild sensation of discomfort.

I found it hard to breathe, and felt slightly light-headed. A person traveling in our group felt worse, she could barely stand up, felt nauseous and was eventually given oxygen.

Then I remembered the yogic breathing, I began to deepen my inhale and prolong my exhale, focusing on my breath until the discomfort disappeared as fast as it had appeared.

The few times I forgot to maintain the deep diaphragmatic breathing, I felt the discomfort creeping in again.

I was experiencing a mild case of altitude sickness, which occurs when the body runs out of oxygen in high altitude. Symptoms vary from nausea, exhaustion and hyperventilation, to cerebral edema, the accumulation of excessive fluid in the substance of the brain.

Interestingly, shortly after, I was asked to teach yoga to a group of mountaineers on an expedition to climb the world’s seven highest summits. Having climbed two of the mountains, they were intent on complementing their training with yoga to help them overcome more dangerous challenges awaiting them.

Mountaineering requires a high level of fitness and strong mental preparedness, and yoga practice is increasingly known to help climbers cope with the challenges of adapting to high altitude.

Research published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology in 2007 compares the physiological responses to high altitude hypoxic conditions in four groups of human subjects: a group of Caucasian subjects, Caucasian yoga practitioners, Nepalese native Sherpas with an active lifestyle, and Nepalese Buddhist monks who are yoga practitioners.

The results showed that at a high altitude, the Caucasian yoga trainees maintained satisfactory oxygen transport, with a minimal increase in ventilation and with reduced hematological changes. This kind of efficiency is comparable to that of the native Sherpas and the Buddhist monks.

The study concludes that respiratory adaptations induced by the practice of yoga may represent an efficient strategy to cope with altitude-induced hypoxia.

The Indian army has known this all along. In the past few years, it has incorporated yoga practice into the daily training routine of its soldiers posted in the conflict area of Kashmir.

At 11,000 to 21,000 feet above sea level and with often minus 60 degree Celsius weather, the Siachen Glacier is the world’s highest battlefield, making the soldiers vulnerable to high altitude sickness, hypoxia (deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues) and the psychological stresses of isolation, monotony and separation from their family.

According to the High Altitude Medical Research Centre (HAMRC), the highest multi-specialty hospital in the world focusing on high-altitude medicine, yoga reduces wear and tear of the heart and produces mental tranquility, greater alertness, flexibility and enhanced tolerance of the cold.

By practicing a few minutes of pranayama (breathing technique), gentle asanas (postures) and meditation, many of the soldiers have testified to the physical and mental benefits.

But even if you’re just a casual hiker or someone who, like me, happened to be on a brief visit to a high-altitude area, you could benefit from the deep breathing technique used in yoga practice to avert hypoxia.

Here’s a pranayama practice that might come in handy when preparing yourself for the challenge of high-altitude breathing, as well as to help you cope with it when you’re there

Complete breathing
This is a simple deep breathing exercise that uses all respiratory muscles to their fullest. To do this, you can lie down on your mat or bed in a comfortable savasana position but without a pillow, or sit on a chair, or cross-legged on a cushion.

If you’re sitting, find a comfortable position to sit upright without being rigid, allow your shoulders to drop and your hands to rest anywhere comfortable, then close your eyes gently.

First empty your lungs by extending your exhale. Now slowly breathe in allowing the belly to relax and enlarge, the diaphragm to lower, allowing the air to enter the lungs.

Continue breathing the second stage of your inhale by expanding the ribcage without straining.

The third stage of your inhale must allow the lungs to fill completely by raising the collar bone.

When the lungs are completely full, breathe out in the same sequence as when inhaling.

At the beginning, inhale and exhale for the same amount of counts, for example, if you breathe in five counts, breathe out also in five counts.

Later, as you gain more strength and your lungs increase in capacity, try to exhale twice as long as you inhale. So if you inhale for five counts, exhale for 10 counts.

Make sure you breathe easily without straining, and your body continues to be relaxed. Ideally, keep your respiration deep, slow, silent and easy.

You can practice this breathing technique every day as part of your daily training before you practice yoga asana or other physical exercises, or as a standalone practice in the morning or evening.

This is not meditation, but after a while, you can let go of the controlled part of your breathing and just watch yourself breathe naturally for a few minutes or more. Then you will enter a more meditative practice.

I did not include an asana practice here, but basically all yoga poses are beneficial as integrated training for climbing, trekking or mountaineering.

You can begin your practice with a few rounds of sun salutations, then proceed to do some standing poses, followed by some backbends, some core strengthening, and then wind down with some twists, forward bends, deeper hip openers, inversion and then savasana.

Being in nature induces a meditative state of mind. And what better way to cultivate this state of mind then by connecting to your breath? Namaste.

Frequently-asked questions about Yoga

2010-12-15T22:00:00.000-08:00

One of my regular students came up to me the other day after a class, and asked: “Is yoga stretching?”

There are many ways to answer this question. What it showed me, however, was that yoga remains a mystery to many, even to regular practitioners.

So in this issue, I’ll address some basic frequently asked questions about yoga and hope this will help clear some misperceptions.

1. Is yoga a religion? No, yoga is not a religion. Although yoga came out of ancient India, it is not a form of Hinduism.

For over a century it has been practiced by Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, atheist and agnostics a like (some of my students and fellow yoga teachers are devout Muslims, some are women who wear Islamic headscarves).

There is a certainly a spiritual side to yoga, but you don’t have to subscribe to any particular beliefs to benefit from it.

Yoga allows you to have a “take what you can use and ignore the rest” approach.

Meditation, which is an integral part of yoga (and often thought of as a Buddhist practice) is beneficial but you don’t have to do it either if you don’t feel a connection to it, at least in the beginning.

The same goes with chanting. So, if your yoga teacher chants “Om” at the end of the class because it is part of her discipline’s tradition, it doesn’t mean you’re worshipping someone else’s God.

And you don’t have to sing if you don’t feel like it. I usually tell my students to just enjoy the vibration.

2. I’m not flexible, can I do yoga?

Of course! Some people avoid yoga because they think they will never be able to touch their toes or do those backbends and roll up into a shoulder stand.

How silly! In fact, if you feel you can’t possibly do yoga, then more likely yoga will be helpful to you. Yoga is a process and a journey. The key is consistent practice.

3. I am not young/ I have chronic medical conditions (asthma, high blood pressure, etc). Can I do yoga?

Yes, yoga isn’t only for those healthy people you see at the gyms or studios. For many years yoga has been used to treat people with various medical conditions. People with all kinds of physical, mental and emotional problems, elderly people, people with years of chronic disease, people in pain, people who are depressed, all have come to yoga to seek help.

Yoga has been used successfully on schizophrenics and on children with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and autism. Wheelchair or bed-bound people can practice a modified type of yoga for their needs and abilities.

There are people in their 80s and 90s who are still doing yoga, and, chances are, if you keep your yoga practice consistent you might reach that age and still be doing yoga.

People with special conditions need to seek a special yoga therapist, however, so it is not recommended that they attend a general yoga class. So, talk to a dedicated yoga studio at your place to see whether they have a teacher who is qualified to teach yoga therapies to address your problems, because not all teachers are.

4. Can you lose weight with yoga?

Well, this is a question that often puts me in a dilemma. I don’t want people to start doing yoga with unrealistic expectations they will lose weight after a couple of weeks.

Having said that, of course, yoga has been known to help people lose weight, especially some more dynamic types of yoga such as asthanga or power yoga or bikram yoga.

Practicing any type of yoga will build strength, but some types may not raise your heart rate enough to make them the only form of exercise you need to include in your weight-loss regime. It depends on the type of yoga you select and how frequently you practice it.

In order to lose weight you must eat healthily and burn calories by doing exercise that raises your heart rate on a regular basis. If yoga is your primary form of exercise, take a dynamic 90-minute class at least three times a week.

In addition, the longer you practice, the more you cultivate a mindful way of living. This means you’ll start looking at how you treat your body, what you put into it as this affects your practice too.

Then you become drawn to more healthy and nutritious food without any elements of self-denial. Believe me, it’s much better than dieting.

5. Is yoga just about stretching?

Yoga does involve stretching your muscles, but it is different than just the warm-up and cool-down stretches you do at the gym. Yoga places importance on alignment. This means how you touch your toes is more important than whether you can actually touch them or not.

Most yoga poses are not stretching an isolated area but rather involving the whole body in both stretching and strengthening. Some yoga styles use the technique of vinyasa or flow where there is movement from pose to pose with an awareness of the breath.

And last, but not least, here’s one of my favorite questions:

6. How come I always seem to fart in yoga class?

Passing gas while practicing yoga is actually very common. You’re moving your body in ways that will stir up your belly, which is good for you.

Farting is perfectly natural, (I’ve had students do it in my class, and I’ve done it also as a student and — ahem — while teaching).

If you happen to do it, just pay attention whether it has caused an effect in the class. Acknowledge it casually or light heartedly — or even apologize — if it seems to bother or disrupt the flow of the class.

But chances are nobody will notice, or if they do they will choose to ignore it, as I’m sure that has happened to them too.

If you have any questions, however embarrassing, just write to me, I’ll be happy to address them. Namaste.

Keeping the heart soft with loving kindness

2010-12-13T22:20:00.000-08:00

The one thing I’m most grateful for with my yoga practice is that it helps me navigate life’s fluctuating dynamics – its ups and downs – by softening my heart.

Yes, all those bending, twisting, balancing, lifting and inverting maneuvers do something to your muscles, joints, bones and organs, but it is the contemplative aspect of yoga that touches the deeper inner muscles of a person — those of tolerance, courage, love and compassion. I’m talking about meditation.

One of my meditation teachers called this spiritual journey a “revolution”, a journey toward our inner self, the part that is unchanged. It is not always easy, in fact it can be pretty arduous, painful and confusing at times. But in the end, any form of contemplative spiritual practice will awaken the gentle part of you that celebrates happiness in others, making equanimity a more accessible state of mind.

When you have equanimity, even the most powerful anger does not seem to linger long. The Buddhists call this compassionate quality loving kindness.

This came to my attention as I watched and observed sad news of natural disasters that have been rocking the country over the past week.

As a journalist, I had been witness in the past to a host of both manmade and natural disasters, from the string of bombing attacks, the 2004 tsunami to air crashes.

Back then I kept myself detached, as I had to move around to do my job with relative ease.

But since leaving full-time journalism, it has become harder to sit through the news on disasters without being overwhelmed with sadness and the yearning to do something to help the victims.

Of course nothing is wrong with this. After all, our capacity to feel compassion for other beings may be the most redeeming quality about us, the one thing that may help the earth’s survival, just as its opposite has sped up the planet’s decline.

And so we do what we can to help ease the sufferings of others, by donating money, organizing aid, becoming a volunteer or drawing attention to the tragedies.

Being kind goes deeper than meets the eyes, however. It starts from within by regularly kindling the flame of loving kindness or metta in Pali and maitri in Sanskrit. Loving kindness is the quality of goodwill, sympathy and kindness to others. It is love without clinging.

The cultivation of loving kindness (metta bhavana) is a popular form of meditation in Buddhism. But it has been practiced by many non-Buddhists and followers of other beliefs for ages, and its benefits
have been studied in the new field of study on contemplative practices.

A Standford University study suggests that a short 7-minute practice of loving-kindness meditation can increase social connectedness.

Clinical scientists from Duke University also found that loving-kindness meditation has been shown to reduce pain and anger in people with chronic lower back pain.

A researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that loving-kindness meditation could help boost positive emotions and well-being in life.

An EEG study also from Stanford University focused on people who do metta meditation with a minimum of 10,000 hours of practice, and showed that compassion meditation could lower the participants reaction to inflammation and distress, both of which are associated with “major depression, heart disease and diabetes”, in response to stressors.

So here I share a simple guide on loving-kindness meditation. It can be practiced before or toward the end of other meditation practice such as vipassana or mindful meditation, or as a standalone practice in itself.

In the beginning, keep it simple and consistent so it becomes easy and not too much effort, but try to keep it sincere and avoid it becoming artificial and mechanical.

Loving-kindness meditation

Start by finding a comfortable place to sit upright, either cross legged on a cushion or on a chair, and allow your body to hang loosely on your spine.

Close your eyes gently and allow your body and breath to soften. Then bring your attention to the area of the heart, see if you can feel your heart and breath together, as if you could breathe into and out of your heart. Feel your breath as if it comes in and out right there at your heart center.

Start by directing loving-kindness toward yourself, because it is hard to fully love others when there are things that you hate or cannot accept in yourself.

Begin to feel compassion for your struggles and sorrows. Try to embrace the sorrow with an open heart and with compassion and loving kindness.

You can start by saying: “May I be happy and may I be filled with loving kindness”.

Next, think of someone you love, someone for whom you naturally feel compassion, your spouse or partner, your kids or your parents. Try to feel their suffering and struggle and wish also for their happiness.

“May [this person] be happy, and may [they] be filled with loving kindness.”

Then open your heart a little wider to include other loved ones and wish for them the same way. Then open your heart even further to let in all of your friends and the people you love.

“May they all be happy and may they all be filled with loving kindness.

Then try to make your heart even larger, to include everyone you know, whether or not you have special relations with them; then to include someone you are not too crazy about, your enemy.

Gradually make your heart even larger, large enough to fill the entire house, the entire housing complex, the entire city, the entire country, even the entire planet. Take the whole earth in your heart, and wish all beings happiness and loving kindness.

“May all beings be happy and may they all be filled with loving-kindness.”

This practice is beautiful because it takes us beyond ourselves and it allows us to extend loving kindness to every sentient being.

Kindness starts from within. Now go out there and manifest this in your everyday actions. Namaste.

Life Inspiration: 12 Tips for Successful Living

2010-10-28T18:10:00.000-07:00

1. Constant affirmation without accountability is a sure-fire way to cripple a child. In other words, belief in yourself without responsibility leads to a sense of entitlement.

2. Raise your hand if you've ever been rejected for anything, anytime, anywhere. We all have. How would you like to have a nice little four-letter word for the next time you're rejected? It's: NEXT. Next sale, next job, next date, next whatever.

3. Beware of people who use their own emotional pain as a tool to manipulate others instead of as a motivation to change themselves.

4. Parents of teens need to watch out for NMK Syndrome: Not My Kid, as in "my kid couldn't have done ___" (fill in the blank). Well, yes, they could have. Even if you have faithfully raised them not to do certain things, kids still have the power of choice, which means they can make bad choices.

NMK Syndrome can blind you to something that needs immediate attention. Trust in your kids and in your parenting, and always check out what you hear.

5. When you receive a notice in your credit card statement that says, "Congratulations, because of your excellent payment history, there is no minimum fee due this month," it's not a time for celebration. You're still being charged interest. These people are not your friends.

6. It's a humbling and sobering experience to have a child who wants to be like you.

7. I've noticed more and more people doing what I call "caboose living."

Picture a three-car train. The engine in front we'll call facts/reality; the car in the middle is our thoughts, beliefs, decisions, choices and behaviors based on the facts; the caboose is our feelings. The facts/reality come first, then thoughts and behaviors followed by feelings.

Many folks try to run their life train with the caboose (feelings) in the lead. Feelings are interesting and important, but they cannot drive the train. Pay attention to your feelings, but let the facts/reality drive the train.

8. A successful marriage requires selective and strategic ignoring. The right things to ignore are little habits and irritating peculiarities that we all have. The problem comes when you select the wrong things to ignore.

9. I wonder if it's a bad thing to believe that football on TV is one of the first signs of fall approaching.

10. Most folks live with the illusion that worrying about something can actually make a difference. The only possible way that worrying can make a difference is if the worrying motivates you to take action to do something about the subject of your worry.

11.People often say, "Well, I'm just going with the flow." The problem with going with the flow is that many times the flow is lost and does not know where it is going.

12. Best quote I've seen since last time, by Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts: "At some point, though, a problem ought to be defined less by our ability to explain why it happens than by our willingness to demand that it happen no more."

The Secret to Positive Thinking

2010-10-26T17:30:00.000-07:00

Positive thinking is something that eludes many because they simply don’t understand or believe that positive thinking can help them in any way. There really is no single big secret to positive thinking. The miracle of positive thinking truly lies within yourself. In this article, I’m going to give you the keys to positive thinking and show you why they work.

SECRET #1: NOBODY’S PERFECT
When you can latch onto this simple little secret, you will be amazed at the change you’ll notice within yourself. You’ll no longer feel so angry all the time. You will start to give people the benefit of the doubt. Best of all, you will learn to forgive and not hold grudges.

SECRET #2: EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES
What’s the first thing that happens when you see someone make a mistake? Are you immediately judgmental? Do you think to yourself that they had it coming to them? Negative thoughts like these are detrimental, not only to the other person, but more so to you. Allow for mistakes, and refer back to Secret #1.

SECRET #3 BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE
Just because you consider yourself to be a good person, that doesn’t exclude you from having anything bad happen to you. All too often, a negative and pessimistic attitude is brought on because of seemingly one bad thing happening after another. Life is filled with bad things and disappointments. It is up to you to choose how to react to them, though.

SECRET #4: YOUR MIND DETERMINES YOUR LIFE
You really can determine how your life will turn out, based on your way of thinking. If you constantly look for bad things to happen, guess what? Bad things will most likely happen to you. But if you turn your thoughts to a more positive nature, and find the good in everything, you’ll soon become a happier person and live a much happier life.

How to Motivate Yourself

2010-10-24T17:40:00.000-07:00

Do you make big plans for your life, only to end up disgusted and frustrated because you can never seem to follow through with them? Motivation plays a huge factor in how we live our lives. Lack of motivation leads to stagnation, which in turn creates an unproductive and unfulfilling life.

MAKE A PLAN

The groundwork for motivation is a plan. Without a solid plan of action, you’ll stay stuck doing the same things again and again, even though you get nowhere. Make a list of your goals for 1, 5, and 10 years. Envision where you want to be, what you want to accomplish.

GIVE YOURSELF INCENTIVES

Sometimes it’s necessary to trick your brain by giving yourself incentives. Set benchmarks for your life plan, along with special incentives for reaching each one. When you can see measurable accomplishments, reward yourself with an incentive.

GET EXCITED

If you can’t get excited about your goals, you’ll never become motivated enough to do something about it. Setting goals that are boring and dull will only lead to you quitting early on. When you can truly get excited about what you are doing with your life, you will find this gives you an extra boost of motivation.

BE HAPPY

Depression and lack of self-esteem and confidence plays a huge role in loss of motivation. When you feel like nothing you do is good enough, and you are miserable and unhappy, you are much less likely to become proactive towards reaching your goals. Find your happy place and your motivation level will rise.

Positive self esteem

2010-10-22T17:36:00.000-07:00

Positive self esteem means that you have healthy self esteem that is filled with positive feelings that allow you to feel vibrant and happy. Your mind is made up of trillions of positive ideas about yourself that you may have not yet unleashed into your life up until now.

Sometimes negative feelings, thoughts or behaviors can weigh our self esteem down. But If you can learn from your mistakes and make learning fun, you’ll not only increase your self esteem by conquering your negative habits, but you’ll also begin to appreciate yourself for the positive life-style your about to create. Learning from mistakes and turning doubts, insecurities and emotional problems into personal power is the first key to manifesting positive self esteem.

The second key is to recognize and appreciate yourself for every positive thought, idea or feeling you have about yourself and use these great ideas to justify your positive future success. When you do this you begin to heal the negative past issues that effected your self esteem and be in this present moment with a fountain of wealth and positive resources that contribute to your future happiness.

To become an authentic person with positive self esteem you must heal your negative past!

Positive self esteem is a must have when you want to become effective at socializing, relationships, finances and so much more… Because a positive foundation of success starts from inside of you, then expands into every area of your life.

When you build a positive foundation inside of yourself first, nothing can stop you because nothing will ever stop you from improving the quality of your life based on the positive foundation you are living with.

Nothing Is Impossible

2010-10-20T17:32:00.000-07:00

Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn’t fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn’t dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships?

Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that – dreams. And our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic. This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher. The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking I can’t do this. It’s too hard. It’s too impossible. No one can do this.

However, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment. Remember that scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee. Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly. Unfortunately for the bumblebee no one has told it so. So fly it does.

On the other hand, some people suffer from dreaming totally outrageous dreams and not acting on them. The result? Broken dreams, and tattered aspirations.

If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you deem impossible. If you reach too far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging on to the impossible dream.

Try this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down some goals in your life. Under one header, list down things ‘you know you can do’. Under another header, write the things ‘you might be able to do.’ And under one more, list the things that that are ‘impossible for you to do.’

Now look at all the headers strive every day to accomplish the goals that are under things ‘you know you can do’. Check them when you are able to accomplish them. As you slowly are able to check all of your goals under that heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other header-the one that reads ‘you might be able to do.’

As of the items you wrote under things I could do are accomplished, you can move the goals that are under things that are ‘impossible for you to do’ to the list of things ‘you might be able to do.’

As you iterate through this process, you will find out that the goals you thought were impossible become easier to accomplish. And the impossible begin to seem possible after all.

You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination. It is to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little. However, it also is unwise to set a goal that is truly unrealistic.

Those who just dream towards a goal without working hard end up disappointed and disillusioned. On the other hand, if you told someone a hundred years ago that it was possible for man to be on the moon, they would laugh at you. If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind. But, through sheer desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are now realities.

Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to accomplish his or her dreams, there has to be had work and discipline. But take note that that 1% has to be a think-big dream, and not some easily accomplished one.

Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations. Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become a little bit more possible.

Circle Time

How terrible time we set. When the bell rings working after hours, without immediately put us are. Save paper and pencil in the drawer, and leaving far. As if all problems have been terpecahkan on the same day. But problems remain awake as long as we pejamkan eyes.

But tomorrow, when the bell began to work berdentang hours, all the problems we poke stack, it seems excessive to sleep for the night. Disputes are so-so resumes. Ah, how terrible time entertaining us. How we build bergairahnya time.

When we set the time, we also set the mind, emotions, and our feelings. Because time is a circle of life where we walk, we set the time to manage life. We celebrate because we created something great day. We heningkan ourselves because we tegakkan kesyahduan. Then all of us in the braided rope time. Thus, only those who do not know akan waktulah the terjerat be no problem in

Being smart does not mean knowing all the answers. Sometimes, the most intelligent answers that you can say is "I Do not Know." It needs the confidence and extra gumption to know your ignorance. And when you do, you are in the process learn the real answers. Often because they prevent the feeling of pride and not safe, we know that, when, in fact we do not know. Through this way, we have been vain to learn more. Trust, there is no one you do not know a thing. Important part of wisdom is to know your limits. Knowing what you know and what you do not know.

Emotional Intelligence Entrepreneur

2009-04-28T03:20:00.000-07:00

The emotional intelligences in our business adaIah is the absolute. You start to summer? You think you have what it takes to be a wiraswastawan? You have read all the success stories about other people and it makes you "suffering"? True, readers, if that happens, it's time to become the boss yourself. But, whether you are ready to leave a good job and comfortable with a monthly salary, modern office, the secretary of efficient, safe and feeling that comes when you work for an organization that is established? A friend who has many years working on the largest national airline, with a staff of thousands, millions of salary, comprehensive facilities, all of a sudden just quit and decided berwirausaha. Words that are first received, "Are you mad?", .... "You destroy a career that promises to" ... .. and other obscenities. Not feeling the child-wife, parents and other relatives who can not say ... Required great courage to write a letter of resignation. Are you sure you still have everything that you will deliver wiraswastawan be a success? Then what will you do? Regulations first entrepreneurial, self latihlah you to see the emptiness or cranny in the market, and fill it. Look around you. Look people in the street, those who sit behind the sewing machine, services, what will he give? Look woman woman sate chicken seller in cheap lodgings near it, why he choose that location? How about the new hotel on the main road that, why be so successful? What about the people who work at the computer can be very successful in the business software program itself? There is one short answer to all this question: this business exist because they have that need. No matter whether you try the chicken thigh, good restaurants, or website. Or, if you talk about the daily round of Rp100.000 or Rp.100.000.000. From Tanah Abang - Jakarta Pusat, Glodok - Central Jakarta, and even the Sawangan, Privinsi Depok West Java, the same principle: ? Success in business ? Working with the principles ? Finding a vacancy ? And fill it! When the men found with digemparkan blue pill Viagra that is actually the drug pemacu heart, but then so pemacu organ male virility, a few years ago all over the world simultaneously publish it (remember, Viagra did not advertise in any media). The result, a Viagra product of the year and generate billions of dollars for penemunya. Case of Viagra in the world, it seems to provide inspiration for Jonathan Simon. After previous successful birth Extra Joss, which generate hundreds of billions, and muncullah Irex is more or less the same function with Viagra. With the tag line "Gift Birthday Mama", and is packed with ads that diperankan by male emaciated and loyo, suddenly became strong after the Irex, the result, this product in the market explode. Yes, they see opportunities jelly, and fill a vacuum. Then why are not you doing this? If you are the first to offer the public something that the public needs and not obtained from other people, or if you anticipate a need for success in the future, you have a good chance to become rich. Until there is competition, you will have the market all alone. History provides many examples of a successful wiraswastawan meet or anticipate the need for new products. Isaac Merit Singer sewing machine that produces perfect for working in limited space, even in the room though. The Henry Ford assembly line method to produce cars that ordinary people can be purchased. George Eastman akan needs to see a small camera that can take-take. Ray Mc Donald Krock of the potential business food fast food franchises. Where do ideas come like that? There are three kinds of ideas. First, your job. Work that you do can become a potential source of ideas, instinct disitulah Because your business has been developed. Second, your hobbies or interests outside of work, because it is an area where you have a natural feeling. Third source, is what is often referred to as the "pedestrian observation", or identify an opportunity through a regular meeting, or an incident in the life of your day-to-day. If your first, you will not be brilliant. Later you will have time to develop and improve everything that you do pemah. But when the others start to compete with you, then you must be the best. Working Hard Wiraswastawan a fortune is not easy. You have to work hard. However, as you work your disebagian big time, surely there is a price to be paid. The first victim is your social life. Time for dating, for the family, even for a sengang will not have your period during the early-run your business .. Can-can this be a lonely life. In circumstances like this when you are very lucky to have a sweetheart or a wife who is faithful in the love and accompany grief. Because being an entrepreneur is also the resistance problem. As the cloudy wet season. After the rain was coming down, the sky will be bright again. There is compensation. The harder you work, you will be more successful. We have partners, the name Apiko Joko Mulyono. He was, "just" a reporter in the tabloids Muslim family, Fikri name. As the employee - if the theory quadrant Robert T. Kiyosaki - our thanks to the encouragement, and expertise interpersonalnya ", to communicate, he wedged into our journalists" semi-business "in the sense, and enable journalistic skills to write a soft lobbynya advertorial. Although initially somewhat reluctantly, he memula roles such copywriter, author of the advertorial soft tabloidnya (mean: promotional rubric nuanced, with the two types of compensation: the number of direct sales in a certain minimum, or semi-ad). Bung Apiko, although still jurnalistiknya my profession, begin to run new task. The result? Unusual for a reporter who worked throughout the four-year, purely as a journalist. Apiko successfully achieve the target. He really worked hard, and sacrificing a bit time for the family. Not only that. He was "brazen" dicibiri as "journalists matre" (materialist, Pen.), Because the more selective in his article on the issues of "nutritious" can alias the "direct sale" or "semi advertorial". Due to continued, can be to guess. From "play" so seriously. Bossnya, the leader of the company Fikri tabloids, even targeting a certain amount perminggunya he must achieve. the target, is reached, even exceeded several times. What's he doing, everyone in the company know. Although any risk Dilecehkan, Apiko resistant rock. The show must go on. What dikerjakannya, other Conference business units under the umbrella holding the same. "Syukur, my wife is very understanding. To work that hard, I can save money with the value compared to the rather selevel my colleagues. I buy a motorcycle in cash, in the second year I worked. That's something that I did not imagine at all, that I can afford it. "Apiko That is, a pity because it is still in the profession jurnalistiknya, a new claim to not use half of the potential that exists in enterprenership himself. "Someone who works 16 hours a day will come to the place you want to dicapainya two times faster than people who work 8 hours a day." David Ogilvy Perseverance Jaques Cousteau, researcher, inventor and environmental experts in an interview with Eugene Grisham book author Achievement Factors in an interview on a jet carteran toward Atlanta, reveal interesting opinions. Our quotation for you. "What you can do all of that?" Cousteau halt a few moments, then replied. "I'm hard-headed - if I have a purpose in my head ... I make a list of things to play: the Amazon, Haiti, ships Angina. I try, and I do not have the money. I try again, and I can not be money, and after ten years I have. " Wisely, with full embroidery and diligence, always pursue what he wanted, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, he has experienced victory, victory. In the year 1943, oxygen tubes (AQUALUNG) that he developed with emile Gagnan, giving the opportunity of adventure under the water, open the world under the water for millions of scuba divers. Then he developed skills as an expert in photography under the water, and in 1956, he was Oscar win for The Silent World. Nine years later he again won the oscar for the World Without Sun. When this age 80-an. Cousteau and grandfather are still working, still checking the things that he recorded in the list, sort the list, and execute the target list items. Focus Logic "focusing," borrowed phenomenon sun. Mahakarya God, the source of energy is very strong, that every jamnya illuminate the earth with millions of kilowatt energy. Anyone can "sun bath" for hours with the risk that light. How about the laser? Seberkas sinarnya, energy is weak. He only needs a few kilowatt of energy but can be focused into a beam of coherent light. Seberkas of laser light, the findings of scientists can use it to cut from the steel to kill cancer cells. Switch on a business conference. You can create the same effect: a strong ability to dominate like a laser market. That is our purpose as a "focus on action." When a business does not become the focus, it will lose strength. Business is becoming like the sun, too much energy to spread the product, the market is too broad. Concentration, the ability to give full attention to the task that faced, and in the long term, concentrate on a career, is one aspect of focus. But not only that. Other terms, the intensity. Intensity involving the ability to distribute a large amount of energy on the task faced. Run it as a habit, will improve your career. In analog, the focus has a job to the same person, vessel lens held in the Council on sehelai paper on a sunny day. Hold the lens with the right angle, make-ray diffraction to concentrate on one point, was able to burn the paper. Priority, enter the idea in focus. Do not be reluctant to change and put the most important as number one if something unexpected arises. Work on the basis of priority. Did you know, what a secret number one success? Priority. Helen Gurley Brown Tentukanlah what top priority in the work with to think carefully what your company employs. Many people make the mistake of working hard for each task that they face, without or with very few consider the importance of the tasks. At the end of the day, they will be very tired, while praising themselves for all the work already completed. Unfortunately, there are already over without realizing important work (important) and urgent (urgent). Only important, it may not be in the top uturan, but urgent, something related to the deadline, which can not not, it precedence or something bad menghadangnya. Letakkanlah letters, memos and memo-warning-warning about all the other tasks that are waiting in the map-map with a priority A, B, and C. Alan Lakein, Time Management Consultant Discuss the matter of focus, we can cite in Eugene Grisham Factor in Achievement, the book is best seller world. He tells about the success factors, the results of the interviews for many years with successful figures of the world. Conclusion that only one book: "To succeed in a big field, any field, it takes time at least ten years with a fixed focus on the field." We believe the correct conclusion of the book. We have evidence, a man who we know enough, since graduating high school, living from trading and not pemah moved except on the field of business products that are household tune the mother. In fact, not until ten years old, he was successful in the field of digelutinya. That is the power of focus. Bath water menetesi a stone, setetes for setetes; day switch day, year changed its year, in time, we terkaget-akan surprised to see the fact that the stone has sunken into the water just because it drops.

"BRAVE", CAPITAL START Entrepreneur

2009-04-22T03:17:00.000-07:00

We believe that, if the entrepreneur has a vision, it will be better able to create a positive force in the pikirannya. So that will be more able to work and improve the quality of our lives. Because of this I strongly believe with the following phrase: "Be careful with the notion-anganmu, because the goal-anganmu it will become a reality" RI's first President, Ir. Soekamo, never says, "Hang sorrow citamu-sky." Vision is that people can mensugesti. And, all the steps we will be directed there. Moreover, this entrepreneur is usually a pemimpi. But the dream of the company, dream about the future, will be able to influence the entrant who dipimpinnya. Your "torch interpreter," banish dark thoughts of others who you pimpin. This principle of leadership. Entrepreneurs who have the vision, is the explanation for the subordinates, members of "team success" in its business. Entrepreneurs with great vision, awakening stimulate business atmosphere full of creativity and innovation. Even people believe, the soul of entrepreneurs, near the castle of the world. What susahnya, visions? Visions of the activity is "cheap." Bagaimaan not, because the visions do not require special facilities, let alone cost. Now also, you can see visions. Of course, an illusion entrepreneurs, not any visions. In fact, in time of trouble, with the piles of life issues that must be shouldered, can also make people dare not berhkayal. You akan tercenung, if we say, "no fancies, need courage!" Why? Delusion that trigger the success, or at least, have the courage and berkreativitas, dihambat view of the long-entrenched cuku root in our mind, that person must successfully ditopang formal education and degree. In fact, this confidence can be broken easily. For example, hadirkan course, some names of people who successfully pass the high school was not. A number of entrepreneurs, start from the illusion. And he began to develop khayalannya, from zero until finally materialized. Bill Gates dream, a personal computer will be available in the house each person. To realize the dream, he drop out of studies, selecting Microsoft menekuni it. He succeeded. Now, it is one of the world's richest people. Michael Dell, have the incredible dream: the company's computer giant IBM. He also succeeded in becoming the first to market personal computers with direct marketing strategies. Businesses that successfully dirintis 1984, Dell Computer sales in demand sweet. Dell even in the age of 34 years successfully become one of the richest people in the United States. Other example, Jeff Bezos. Dream, to become successful entrepreneurs in the world e-commerce, trade through the intemet. Although the new year 1995, ie at age 30 years, he nyemplung to the virtual world, up the Amazon. com. Site melejit into the site most often people, get information or to purchase quality books from around the world. Dreams realized. He also noted as the country's miliarder uncle Sam that. Try the If we dare to try, and we are more diligent and ulet, then surely never have a failure Modern business will stop rotating if the attitude of trying to flee. Indeed, many people fail in business, without despair, do not dare to try again. This is not only not harmful aspects of the course material or financial, but also psychological aspects. Therefore, despite the crisis, remains to be entrepreneur with a high entrepreneurial spirit. Surely not have failed in doing that is only because he tried to stop, stop trying. Dare to try, more diligent and ulet, failure will not ever have. Beranilah try. For, no one in the world, including the entrepreneur in the world that can replace the courage to try the talent business. As well as any talent someone, will not be successful without trying to start. How kejeniusan with someone? Also, do not. Kejeniusan hidden, it is the same with the hot-empty. Best education? It is also not a guarantee. This world is full of unemployed graduates licensed. And apparently, once again, the courage to try and attempt that determines the success of our business. Dare Merantau Wander courage, build confidence and independence Remember Sampit tragedy? All heavy, partly because the ethnic Madurese success, join hengkang from Sampit, Central Kalimantan. We are not menyoal tragedinya, but the aspect of entrepreneurship. Madura and Kalimantan, is not as clear among the houses in a village. These two islands are different and far apart. But, how many people are still born in Madura, Madura, and wander to Sampit. Many, even many children and then fall-born in Kalimantan. Part of their success, although originally from zero. We just want to say, they are "out of nothing", wander, and success. The other ethnic fenomenal, the Javanese origin Tegal. Only the capital, they taklukkan. If you want to calculate the number of stalls "beridentitas area" most of which, the answer: Public Tegal. People in the food sector, there are around meatball vendor. Many of them, mengusung regional identity. Malang as meatball, Wonogori noodle, Pecel Lamongan, or Padang restaurants. More fenomenal, and also more global, Chinese immigrants who are successful in the country that they go. Did you often travel across the region, heard, or Javanese transmigrants farmers bali, much success as transmigrants in Sumatra, Sulawesi or? Success in business, also supported a daring: wander. Going away, have a distinctive social meaning. He means "far from the family" that trigger the awakening of the soul self. Not depend on the family, then began to move into adulthood. In the region, especially in environments that do not know who we are before, you can be a private one. This innovation, laden challenge. Going away, what we bring to the advantages and disadvantages us because we are exposed to the new reality-a reality. Going away, make someone relatively strong, because diterjunkan in many new situations. Immigrants, generally reluctant resort. In situlah, a willingness to be more motivated. Immigrants, are reluctant to average much obliged. Thus, it is because the new immigrants tended to inculcate a service to many people. "Social investment", in time bear fruit goodness. Who is suspected, many people like our personality, bernagsur gradually, becoming one of the faithful we weave success. So? Try to wander, you find a respite jatidiri, creative, and capture opportunities perceptivity The Failed Only the brave fail yaug total, akan achieve total success. John STATEMENT. F. Kennedy is true. one of us, membuktikannya. Failed total, the business career, Purdi E. Chandra in his book "Being a Successful Entrepreneur" bertutur: "End in 1981, was not satisfied with the pattern of boring lectures that I leave the campus. I think at that time, failed to reach a degree, but not necessarily pursue ideals fail-citanya. 1982, I then began to pioneer business guidance Primagama test, which later changed to Institute Learning Assistance Primagama. I run the business with the fallen building. Initially, the peminat quiet, only two people! At this time, wow, peminatnya membludak, up-to Primagama to open branches in hundreds of cities, and guidance into learning institutions in Indonesia. " In social life, that failure is a word that is not so easy to be heard. Failure is not something the preferred, and an event that everyone does not want it. We can not ignore us, the real-real still prefer to see a successful person than the person who fails to see, even people who do not like to fail. So, if you find an entrepreneur who failed in business, do not hope that people will praise you; people around you and your client will understand why you fail, you do not disalahkan; all still remain friends around you, you will get moral support friend from the other; There are people who akan meminjami money as temporary assistance; Moreover, this bank will provide more loans! No way! Why a picture of a failed entrepreneur, we gambarkan so bad? That's our society. We tend to praise the successful and winning, and easy to menghujat losers and failed. We suggest, we start each culture change that, give both the opportunity for each person. According to our experience, when people fail, there is no use thinking about the failure and morose. But the need to explore it. Failure enerpreneur should make sincere tertantang to find new forces to achieve success again. Of course, cases of failure in business or the working world, when the economic crisis exacerbated, indeed more. Thousands of people affected Termination Relationships Work (PHK) and loss of eye pencahariannya. Ironic, indeed, just like us, like it or not, every man will experience a variety of issues, perhaps even suffering. An entrepreneur, have to risk failure, and quotes hikmahnya. Perhaps the only failure came to glorify our hearts, cleanse our minds from the snobbery and insularity, broaden our perspective and approach to better ourselves to God. To teach us to be valiant when unguarded. Being brave when we are afraid. ltu reason, we can agree on the Richard Gere, Hollywood's leading actors, "failure is important for the career to anyone." Why? Many people make the same mistake, with the failure as the enemy of success. Vice versa. we should assume that failure can bring results. Remember, we must be sure to find success in the failure. but why someone failed in business. Because there are some general. First, we often assess this ability within us is too low. Second, every act, we are often influenced by myths that appear in the society around us. Third, we are usually too "melankolis" and like the first sentence to myself, that we were born with a bad fate. Fourth, we tend to still have the attitude, would not know from where we should start a business again. With the failure to know that, of course we will make sure to address them. Make our experience nine out of ten things that we do have failures, then we should work ten times more enterprising. With attitudes and thoughts such as these, it will still make as we figure entrepreneur who is always optimistic akan future. So, we should not like to measure an entrepreneur with a count how many times he fell. But the measure, how many times he rose again. The Success How much food we want, the same with how big we dare to take risks SUKSES is the process. It was achieved with sacrifice. One of them, not with the mawkish failure. Success, think of you daily. Confidence can be successful, always built at any time. Therefore, do not let you lose your motivation for success, and continue to build confidence in the bosom. Dispose of all reason, you fail because of your weakness. Less intelligent, less fit, are too old, and a myriad of "poor taste", not the reason you failed. Success requires courage without stopping, learn the business slowdown. With each problem with the way other successful entrepreneurs in a similar business with you. In fact, you see that they failed, and find the answer to why he failed. Readiness of private entrepreneurs face a change, also dipermantap. Do not easy dikejutkan changes. Learn the success of others, himpun all "causes of success" is, find the excess-excess, and start trying to arrange what advantages you, what can ditelurkan the novelty of the process compare with the efforts of others. One entrepreneur, who is always "awake" and "open ear" to every opportunity. Successful entrepreneurs, not simply "food from heaven", but also the carefulness in work / capture opportunities. And this business requires a high stamina. Do not fear comes first, as if the entrepreneurs who never rest. No! Physical, needs to rest, but as entrepreneurs, thought "keep the road" in the sense, our daily dibiasakan continue to think, the good-good what can be built on the opportunities that we face every time. No one can get pleasure out of life that continues to make slow-rangkak, who lives half. Success means that the only things that fascinate and positive. Success means personal prosperity: a good house, in the field of financial security and opportunity ahead of the maximum, and useful for the community. Success also means that the gain honor, leadership, and the patriarch. Thus, success means that the self-respect, feel honored, continue to feel happier, and feel the satisfaction of their lives. That means, we succeeded in doing more things that are useful. In other words, success means winning. Unfortunately, globalization diera like this now, not all the entrepreneur says, that has achieved success. According to us, as entrepreneurs, do not shrink from you declare: I this day a success. Hence, the confidence that is awakened. Self-confidence is a big, raised the spirit to achieve success. Success and that, also need to be divided among businessman. Never so busy that a successful entrepreneur, in her social life when there are requested to assist other entrepreneurs who have not been as successful as himself. Believe, in the soul of a successful entrepreneur, there is confidence: God is great strength that encourages people, including the entrepreneurs, not to self. Because the time to see other people happy "only to fail," sejatinya are waves awaits menerpanya failure. So, think beranilah success! Unlike the Munculkanlah courage in a new era, notwithstanding that we are ready to pay the price that people laugh, ridicule, and criticize us. Why do people laugh we? Or more lightly than that, why people underestimate us? Because we are different. But, what if our one different? Kenyataaannya, is going to be different since we are born. Each individual in the world is different. No one has 100% the same as the other. Fingerprints we just prove this fact - that no two fingerprints are the same in the world. Every one of us is different - unique. Unique and separate us we are one with the other. If we really want to succeed in this life, this munculkanlah talent from within, let it shine so bright. Originality idea, where you reveal "something new and bright", akan keberbedaan make it, giving more value for your time. The better we differ. And, our difference from the other, is manifest diligence we become MORE GOOD. Alone, further, among the many people who hold nearly the same on a matter, then you keberbedaan, received and accepted many of the world. Extraordinary, bukan.Mari, use the energy you generate vigorous differences. The difference of value. "The private sector plays a larger role in the world economy. Employers have to seize a small multi-billions of dollars from big business. " John Naisbit

10 Recipes SUKSES BANGSA JAPANESE

2009-04-20T02:50:00.000-07:00

By Romi Satria Wahono 1. WORK HARD It is the secret that the Japanese nation is working hard. The average employee work hours in Japan is 2450 hours / year, very high compared with the United States (1957 hours / year), UK (1911 hours / year), Germany (1870 hours / year), and France (1680 hours / year). An employee in Japan can produce a car in 9 days, while officials in other countries require 47 days to make the car worth the same. A Japanese worker can be said to do the work usually done by 5-6 people. Home quickly is something that can be said "a bit shame "in Japanese, and shows that the employee including "not required" by the company. 2. Shame Malu is a cultural and ancestral heredity nation of Japan. Suicide (suicide with a knife thrust to the stomach) to the ritual since the era of samurai, that is when they lose and fight. Log In to the modern world, little changed wacananya phenomenon to "draw self "for officials (ministry, politicians, etc.) involved in the problem corruption, or failed to perform its duty feel. Negative effects may is children Elementary sometimes suicide, because the value is ugly or does not increase the class. Also because of shame, the Japanese prefer to choose a detour from the drivers behind with the cut line in the middle of the road. They are ashamed of when they violate environmental laws or norms that already a general agreement. 3. HIDUP HEMAT Japanese people have the spirit in daily life sparingly. Anti attitude excessive consumerism is visible in many areas of life. In the early start of life in Japan, I had great surprise to the many people shopping in the crowded Japanese at the supermarket around 19:30 hours. A careful critical, the has become a regular on the Japanese supermarket that will be cut up to half price at the time about a half hour before closing. As known in the Japanese supermarket that average close to the at 20:00. 4. Loyalty Loyalty system to make a career in running a company and is the neat. With a slightly different system in the United States and Europe, Japan is very rare that people moved jobs. They usually stay on one or two companies until retirement. This may be the implications of Industry in Japan that most only want to receive a fresh graduate, and that their own students and latih according to the field garapan (core business) companies. 5. Innovation Japanese inventor is not the nation, but people have a surplus in Japan meracik the findings and then memasarkannya in the form of a sought by the community. Interesting to read the story Akio Morita of the Sony Walkman that melegenda it. Cassete Tape not found by Sony, patennya company owned by Phillip Electronics. But the successful development and membundling portable model as a product during the boom tens of years is Akio Morita, founder and CEO of Sony at that time. Until 1995, there were more than 300 models walkman born and the number of total production reached 150 million products. Assembly techniques are also four-wheeled vehicles are not created the Japan, patennya owned by the United States. But apparently the Japanese inovasinya able to develop the vehicle assembly industry is more fast and cheap. 6. Abstinence surrender History proves that the Japanese nation, including the resistance and banting abstinence surrender. Tens of years under the Tokugawa empire close all access to other countries, Japan is very left behind in technology. When the Meiji restoration (Meiji ishin) come, the Japanese quickly adapt and become a fast-learner. Poverty of natural resources also does not make Japan surrender. No only importer petroleum, coal, wood and seeds of iron, even 85% of Japan's energy comes from other countries including Indonesia. Indonesia it is reported that the supply of petroleum, then 30% of Japan akan darkness disaster occurred in the sequence 1945, starting from the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, followed lose the war with Japan, and ditambahi with the earthquake big in Tokyo. In fact Japan is not exhausted. In recent years Japan is the next successful build the automotive industry and even also fast train (shinkansen). May be quite startling how Matsushita Konosuke that businesses were destroyed and almost tersingkir from electronic business equipment in 1945 are still able to crawl, start from zero to build the industry so that a business in the kingdom kekinian era. Akio Morita also initially laughable when people offer products that tiny Cassete Tapenya to various other countries. But eventually melegenda with his Sony Walkman. Which is also quite unique that knowledge and theory in which people must learn from this failure formulated in Japan began with the name shippaigaku (science failure). Kapan-kapan akan I peeled more about this 7. CULTURE READ Do not be surprised if you come to Japan and into densha (train electricity), most of the passengers both children and adults are reading books or newspapers. Do not care to sit or standing, many who have used the time to read the densha. Many publishers began to create a man-ga (image comic) to curriculum materials both elementary schools, junior high and high school. Subject History, Biology, English, etc. are presented with the interesting create interest in reading the higher the community. I have previously discussed problem of education in the comics this blog. Reading culture Japanese people also supported by the speed in the translation process foreign books (English, French, German, etc.). Perhaps say Translation legend foreign books have been started in the year 1684, as dibangunnya institute translating and hold developed until modern times. Usually Japanese translation book already available in a few weeks since the book foreign published. 8. COOPERATION GROUP Culture in Japan do not accommodate the work-work that is too are individualistik. Including claims of employment, usually is for the team or group. This phenomenon not only in the world of work, the condition of the campus with a research lab is also like that, the task subjects are also usually in the form of the group. Working in groups may be one of the biggest strength of the Japanese. There anekdot that "1 the Japanese professor akan less with one the American professor, the professor is only 10 United States will not can overcome the 10 people who collect Japanese professor. " Consensus or agreement is often called the "rin-gi" is a ritual in the group. Strategic decisions must be discussed in the "rin-gi". 9. MANDIRI Since early age children are trained to self. Irsyad, my child is gede most had felt the incoming kindergarten (Yochien) in Japan. He must 3 large carry bag containing clothes change, Bento (food packing noon), replace the shoes, books, towels and a bottle of drink hang on his neck. Yochien in every child be trained to carry equipment itself, and is responsible for own items alone. Release of high school and enter college is not nearly the majority of request a cost to parents. Friends-What I used in the contemporary Saitama University rely on part time work for school fees and daily life. Even if the money runs out, they "borrow" the money to parents that they will return in the next month. 10. Keep the tradition Technology and economic development, Japan does not make a nation loss of tradition and culture. Culture of women who married not to work there and still live to this day. Culture apologize still reflek Japanese. If a day you ride a bicycle in Japan and hit pedestrian, then do not surprised if the fact that we tabrak apologize ahead. Until now the Japanese are relatively avoid saying "no" to when people get a bid from another. So we must be careful in association with the Japanese people as "O" not necessarily "yes" for Agriculture is the Japanese tradition of ancestor and important asset in Japanese. Competition because of the entrance of Thailand and the United States the cheap, not menyurutkan steps the Japanese government to protect the farmer. It is reported that the land made the land agriculture have a significant tax reduction, including some incentives for those who still survive in the world agriculture. Japanese agriculture is one of the highest in the world. Japan Kalihatannya success of the nation as described above is because they are not directly aware of and does not have to do that by Allah SWT and Rasulullah SAW. Hopefully this can we as Muslims to follow what has been ordered for us so that success can be world and the Hereafter we achieve. Aamiiin.

10 benefit of rising early

2009-04-16T02:44:00.000-07:00

Every Thursday is Happiness Day on Zen Habits.
"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" - Ben Franklin, famously
"Put no trust in the benefits to accrue from early rising, as set forth by the infatuated Franklin ..." - Mark Twain
Recently, reader Rob asked me about my habit of waking at 4:30 a.m. each day, and asked me to write about the health benefits of rising early, which I thought was an excellent question. Unfortunately, there are none, that I know of.
However, there are a ton of other great benefits.
Now, let me first say that if you are a night owl, and that works for you, I think that's great. There's no reason to change, especially if you're happy with it. But for me, switching from being a night owl to an early riser (and yes, it is possible) has been a godsend. It has helped me in so many ways that I'd never go back. Here are just a few:
Greet the day. I love being able to get up, and greet a wonderful new day. I suggest creating a morning ritual that includes saying thanks for your blessings. I'm inspired by the Dalai Lama, who said, " Everyday, think as you wake up, 'today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.' "
Amazing start. I used to start my day by jumping out of bed, late as usual, and rushing to get myself and the kids ready, and rushing to drop them to school and come in to work late. I would walk into work, looking rumpled and barely awake, grumpy and behind everyone else. Not a great start to your day. Now, I have a renewing morning ritual, I've gotten so much done before 8 a.m., my kids are early and so am I, and by the time everyone else gets in to work, I've already gotten a head start. There is no better way to start off your day than to wake early, in my experience.
Quietude. No kids yelling, no babies crying, no soccer balls, no cars, no television noise. The early morning hours are so peaceful, so quiet. It's my favorite time of day. I truly enjoy that time of peace, that time to myself, when I can think, when I can read, when I can breathe.
Sunrise. People who wake late miss one of the greatest feats of nature, repeated in full stereovision each and every day -- the rise of the sun. I love how the day slowly gets brighter, when the midnight blue turns to lighter blue, when the brilliant colors start to seep into the sky, when nature is painted in incredible colors. I like doing my early morning run during this time, and I look up at the sky as I run and say to the world, "What a glorious day!" Really. I really do that. Corny, I know.
Breakfast. Rise early and you actually have time for breakfast. I'm told it's one of the most important meals of the day. Without breakfast, your body is running on fumes until you are so hungry at lunchtime that you eat whatever unhealthy thing you can find. The fattier and sugarier, the betterier. But eat breakfast, and you are sated until later. Plus, eating breakfast while reading my book and drinking my coffee in the quiet of the morning is eminently more enjoyable than scarfing something down on the way to work, or at your desk.
Exercise. There are other times to exercise besides the early morning, of course, but I've found that while exercising right after work is also very enjoyable, it's also liable to be canceled because of other things that come up. Morning exercise is virtually never canceled.
Productivity. Mornings, for me at least, are the most productive time of day. I like to do some writing in the morning, when there are no distractions, before I check my email or blog stats. I get so much more done by starting on my work in the morning. Then, when evening rolls around, I have no work that I need to do, and I can spend it with family.
Goal time. Got goals? Well, you should. And there's no better time to review them and plan for them and do your goal tasks than first thing. You should have one goal that you want to accomplish this week. And every morning, you should decide what one thing you can do today to move yourself further towards that goal. And then, if possible, do that first thing in the morning.
Commute. No one likes rush-hour traffic, except for Big Oil. Commute early, and the traffic is much lighter, and you get to work faster, and thus save yourself more time. Or better yet, commute by bike. (Or even better yet, work from home.)
Appointments. It's much easier to make those early appointments on time if you get up early. Showing up late for those appointments is a bad signal to the person you're meeting. Showing up early will impress them. Plus, you get time to prepare.

a lifetime, I knew Betty will be all of those for me. I would like to share her story
so that others who are facing challenges might take away from this hope and an
understanding of how they might create a meaningful life even with major
challenges.
In 1977 Betty had a stroke. Her husband had passed away several years before
and she was only 48 years old at the time. Her children were raised and she was
living on her own. I first met her when I became her therapist at the home of her
brother when she was discharged from rehab. Initially the family was told it was
unlikely she would talk or walk again. Her speech was significantly impaired and
she was paralyzed on her right side. When she was able to walk better with the
use of her quad cane and she became an outpatient at a local hospital where I
had recently started working.
There are several stories that come to mind and one I recall vividly was the
Thanksgiving she presented me with a handmade card on bright orange paper
that she created with the help of her family. I kept it for many years despite many
rounds of cleaning things out of my office. I just could not part with it. She was a
bright light and thinking of her always made me smile.
Betty was always willing to work and although she got frustrated she never gave
up. Some of the little things she did always amazed me and here is a special
memory. Betty decided to make me a birthday cake and not the box mix variety.
She made it from scratch and it was sheet cake size. In order to get it out of the
oven, she had to put towels on her lap. When she arrived at the outpatient
department of the hospital with my cake, not only was it big but it was frosted
AND had roses on it! When I asked her who did that, she proudly told me that
she did. Now I have baked many cakes but never decorated one and could never
imagine adding such an elaborate finishing touch. Here is how amazingly
persevering she could be. She took a Fisher Price radio of the 1970’s era, put
silly putty on the knob, inserted the rose pedestal, and wound up the knob. While
it was turning, she used the decorator bag in her left hand to create these
beautiful roses on top of the cake. WOW!!
It was that positive spirit that made it obvious to me that she would be one of the
3 patients I would feature on the series of videotapes I was creating for patients
to be able to proactive repeating words, phrases, and sentences. She came
dressed up and smiling as always. Later her daughter shared that she felt like a
movie star. For sure, she was a star in so many ways. Her interview included
some of these thoughts as she answered some of these questions, occasionally
hesitating for a word but now able to express herself quite well.
o I was paralyzed and they did not think I would walk or talk again.
o All I could say was four – four – four but I thought I was talking.
o In speech therapy I worked an hour a day practicing. I had trouble with
the longer words. I talked too fast and had to slow down but that was
hard for me. I was afraid I was going to forget my words.
o Occupational therapy helped me to cook – I love cooking but forgot my
recipes.
o I had physical therapy and had to wear a brace.
o Limitations – I get tired but am very independent and live by myself….
but I can usually do anything.
This was in 1985 and through the years I would try to visit her or occasionally
call. Whenever I had a patient in her apartment building, I made sure to stop by
and see what she was up to. She would share with me stories of all the afghans
she had made. Now picture this. She was right handed and cannot use that hand
so she learned to crotchet with her non-dominant hand and yes, that meant she
did it one handed. She loved to cook and told me stories of all the pumpkin
breads she would make. I know in the earlier years she would take her
wheelchair and put it in the car then drive herself to the store and do her
shopping. Her speech was not perfect but she did an excellent job of
communicating and always wanted an update on what was going on in my life.
In the summer of 2006 I had a speech evaluation in her apartment building and
was glad to see her name still listed. It had been awhile and she had been on my
mind. When I called it was not Betty but a caregiver that answered. I wondered
what was happening in her life at this point and I was eager to touch base. Betty
was sitting at the table eating a meal prepared by the caregiver and just as
bright, cheery, and talkative as ever. There was a woman visiting at the time and
I was sharing with her how much of an inspiration Betty had been to me. She
chimed in and agreed with me then shared with me just another example of how
amazing Betty was. There were quilting squares on the table and I commented
on them because I have done some quilting. She said Betty wanted to learn how
to quilt. Now remember she cannot use her right hand. I smiled and knew with
the help of this wonderful friend and her determination it would happen
somehow.
In the spring of 2007 I was saddened to read the paper and see that Betty had
passed away a few days before. I was headed out of town but I was trying to
figure out how I could stop by for a few minutes for the calling hours. I literally
had 15 minutes between appointments but I was able to make it happen.
I sought out one of her children so that I could express to the family my
tremendous admiration for a grand lady and a role model for those whose lives
have been dramatically changed at a young age. Interestingly, her daughter told
me what I had done for her mom. I never even gave that a thought through all
those years. When Betty came to mind, I thought about the gift she was to me. I
would share her story to inspire others and to stay mindful of ways to help others
create meaning in the midst of adversity. What happened next was the perfect
ending to a beautiful story.
Her daughter told me Betty took up quilting and I shared the fact that I just
"happened" to drop in the day this was being discussed. And I am a quilter as
well. I truly believe there are no coincidences! After that visit, she began working
on the quilt and when Betty started to have some new health concerns she told
her daughter she would have to finish the quilt for her if she was not able to do it
herself. Her daughter’s comment was – "Mom, you have to finish it. I have two
hands and one of them will get in the way." Displayed at the funeral home was a
finished quilt except for the backing – a tribute to a woman who was a gift to all
those people who were blessed to have known her. Betty’s spirit will be kept alive
by those who were touched by her life and I feel privileged to be one of the many
fortunate ones.
Happiness is not a matter of events;
it depends on the tides of the mind.

InspirationStories To Touch You...(RAIN)

2009-03-18T22:04:00.000-07:00

RAIN This is a wonderful incident observed by a young man who works for CenturyTel in Monroe, Louisiana, while shopping at Wal-Mart one day.She must have been six years old, this beautiful, brown-haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. Her Mom looked like someone from the Walton's or a moment captured by Norman Rockwell. Not that she was old fashioned. Her brown hair was ear length with enough curl to appear natural. She had on a pair of tan shorts and a light blue knit shirt. Her sneakers were white with a blue trim. She looked like a Mom.It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the tops of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. Drains in the nearby parking lot were filled to capacity, and some were blocked so that huge puddles laked around parked cars. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart.We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in. "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said."What?" Mom asked."Let's run through the rain!" she repeated."No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied. This young child waited about another minute and repeated her statement."Mom, let's run through the rain.""We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said."No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her mom's arm."This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?""Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, He can get us through anything'!"The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. The Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now, some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith."Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If God let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," the mother said.Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes--through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few believers who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. Perhaps inspired by their faith and trust.I want to believe that somewhere down the road in life, this Mom will find herself reflecting back on moments they spent together, captured like pictures in the scrapbook of her cherished memories. Maybe when she watches proudly as her daughter graduates. Or as her husband walks their daughter down the aisle on her wedding day. She will laugh again. Her heart will beat a little faster. Her smile will tell the world they love each other. But only two people will share that precious moment when they ran through the rain believing that God would get them through.And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.We should all make time to run through the rain.

So stop Glass

A visit to a Sufi teacher when his face has always looked glum.
"Why do you always wistful, bud? Not a lot of beautiful things in this world? Where perginya face bersyukurmu? "The teacher said.
"Teacher, this latter problem of my life. It's hard for me to smile.
The problem comes as there is no timeless, "answered the young students.
The Teacher terkekeh. "Nak, take a glass of water and two hold the salt. Bring here. Let your heart kuperbaiki the atmosphere. "
The students also go slow without enthusiasm. He conducted the teacher demand, and bring back glass and salt as required.

"Try to take handful of salt, and a glass of water to enter it," said the teacher.
"After that you try to drink a little water."
The students also do so. Now face grimace as the salt water.
"How does it taste?" Ask the teacher.
"Salt, nausea and perutku so," answered the student's face with a still grimace.
The Teacher giggle to see that his face grimace keasinan.
"Now you follow me." The teachers bring students to the lake near their place. "Take the remaining salt, and tebarkan to the lake."
The students spread the remaining handful of salt to the lake, without speaking. Salty taste in the mouth has not been lost. She wanted to spit from the mouth, bitter taste, but never do. It's not polite Mursyid spit in the face, so pikirnya.
"Now, you try to drink the lake water," said the teacher while looking for a relatively flat stone for didudukinya, right on the lake edge.
The students cover both hands, take the lake water, and bring them to mouth meneguknya ago. When the lake water is cool and fresh in the flow tenggorokannya, the Guru asked him, "How does it taste?"
"Fresh, very fresh," said the student, while dust lips with the back hand. Of course, the lake is derived from the flow of water over there.
And water flows into a small river below. And certainly, the lake water is also a bitter taste left in the mouth.
"Terasakah taste the salt that you tebarkan earlier?"
"Not at all," said the student while taking the water and meminumnya again.
The only smile memperhatikannya Teachers, students leave the lake until the water content.
"Nak," said the teacher after the students finished drinking. "All problems in life such as the handful of salt. Not less, not more. Only a handful of salt. The many problems and suffering that you have experienced throughout kehidupanmu was dikadar by God, according to yourself. The amount is fixed, segitu-segitu course, is not reduced and not increased. Every man who
born to this world is so. No one man, even though he was a prophet, who is free from suffering and problems. "
The students speechless, listening. "But Nak, think 'salt' from the suffering that is experienced depends on the size of the qalbu the menampungnya. So Nak, so do not feel suffering, so stop glass. Make qalbu in dadamu of the lake is so. "
"He (Moses)," O Lord, for lapangkanlah chest, "(25)
"And mudahkanlah for my task." (26).
[Q.S. 20: 25 - 26]
"God does not burden someone except in accordance with the bear."
[Q.S. 2: 286]

A simple word that we may rarely use in daily life, but often we praktekkan directly whether or not consciously aware. Some time ago I gathered with friends old me. As always we discuss about the work, the pair of life, past, and various other things.

After my new home tersadar, that we are one race each other to showcase our complaints each seems that most who complain that he is most powerful.

'Bos gue udah diagnosed the day I still kick 6 overtime, all ordered aja gue nginep in the office'

'Ditambahin I only work every day, but it is not' job-desc 'I'

'Son of the fruit I was stupid, what is only one'.

We all do this at any time without realize it.

Did you know the more often we complain, the more often we are also experiencing this. For example, one of my good friends always complain about her job. He has moved several times and each time the job he was working in a new place, he always complained about the boss or colleagues sekerjanya.

Before he moved to the next job he was always noisy with superiors or colleagues sekerjanya. As we can see that form a pattern that can be predicted, he will always move from one job to the next job until she learned not to complain.

Complain that it is very easy to do and for some people it becomes a habit, and again complained parahnya a pride. When you have two friends, the first level is always positive and the second always complain, you will be happy to deal with that? Being a complainer who may be able to get sympathy from our friends, but will not make us have more friends and will not solve the problem we can even make us lose our friends.

Which the question is why we complain? We complain because we are disappointed that the reality does not occur in accordance with our expectations. How do we overcome this. How easy is actually difficult-easy, we only need to be thankful.

I believe that behind all the things that we keluhkan PASTI no matter that we can syukuri.

As an illustration, you complain with your work. Did you know how much the number of unemployed in Indonesia?

Currently almost 60% of the productive working age do not work, so be grateful you still have jobs and income. Or, you complain that they are ordered to do overtime or extra work. Did you know that your boss actually believe
to your ability? If you can not afford not be your boss told you to provide overtime or additional work.

Be grateful because you have been given the trust by your employer, you may be more diligent with whom you can get a campaign faster than you expect.

Be grateful more and believe your life will be easier and fortune with you always, always, because you can see things that may escape from your eyes because you complain too busy.

Try it now:

1. Be grateful every day at least once a day.

Be grateful for your work, your health, your family or anything that you can syukuri. Ambilah time for 10-30 seconds just to give thanks and continue your activities again.

2. Do not complain when you are having difficulties but do the following. Close your eyes, pull the long breath, hold briefly and then hembuskan slowly from your mouth, open your eyes, and think that tersenyumlah a later time you will be grateful for all that's going on at this time.

3. Familiarize not-for follow-up complain when you're with friends who are complain and give a positive response or not at all. Always think positive and see the changes in your life.

'The more you give thanks to God for what you have, the more things you will have to disyukuri'.

PS: I am grateful that you have read this email and I will be grateful if you send this email to your colleagues so that you can also grateful because other people have made grateful.

I remember the words my father,
"Everything happens for a reason ..."
I am not selected in the flight,
although I really want it
because the Lord had other reasons
kehadiranku to the earth ..
I have another mission in life.
I did not lose; I am a winner.
I win because I have less.

"I, Frank Slazak, grateful to be alive in God
NOT because of all the prayer granted. "

Acts BESI AND WATER

Acts BESI AND WATER

There are 2 things that are carib namely iron and water.
Iron berbangga will often himself.
He often brag to friend:
"I See this, strong and hard. I do not like you are weak and soft"
Water still only just heard megrim friend.
One day iron challenging water race to penetrate a cave and overcome all obstacles that are there.
Aturannya: "He who can go through the cave safely without injury stated he win"
Iron and airpun race start:

They are the first hurdle they have to guard the cave through the rocks in the hard and sharp. Iron began showing strength, he menabrakkan himself to rocklike itu.Tetapi because kekerasannya rocklike menyerangnya collapse that began besipun and injured many in here because there against the stones.
Water do its work, it will little by little to the rocks, he rocks the soft scrape other rocks, so does not interfere and does not realize it, he only just as necessary to punch through, but does not damage the other.
Score iron water and 1: 0 to this hurdle.

Second hurdle is that they need them through the various narrow slit at the base came to a cave. Metal taste power, he changed himself into a brace and bit stronger and he began to revolve penetrate the midst. But the midst of difficult enough to be penetrated, the harder it is to revolve the rift that destroyed but also the more he hurt.

Water victorious telak up with iron score 3: 0

Ghana BRIEF:

Make your life such as water

He can get something with kelembutannya without damage and disrupt
because with it little by little to move but he can penetrate the hard rocks.
Remember only a heart can be opened with the tenderness and love not with coercion and violence. Violence only cause resentment and cause duress only the desire to defend oneself.

Water is always changing shape in accordance with their environment, it is flexibel and not rigid as it is accepted by the environment and there is no conflict with him.
Water does not despair, though he still flows through even the smallest crevice. He does not despair.
And though the water has an impossibility to fix the problem, still dikaruniakan the ability to change themselves into steam (This is the Miracles)

Kidney has a very fine sieve, so if you need to filter the blood so thick that kidney should be working extra hard. Kidney may not be damaged and may soon be a wash in the blood or medical language is called regular hemodialisis.

That influence is less water to the kidneys and blood work. Then how about the brain? Travel thick blood will also be hung up when passing through the brain. In fact, the brain cells most extravagant mengonsumsi food and oxygen carried by blood. So that the function of brain cells is not running optimally, and can even die quickly. This condition will trigger the occurrence of stroke. Therefore, not to lack of water!

Everyone has cancer cells in the body. Cancer cells are not visible in the standard tests until they become a breeding bermilyar billion.

Empathy

One night, after work, I stop off at a fast food restaurant in the area of Bintaro. Quiet atmosphere. Outside the rain. All have been put waitress. Restaurant would close. But may I see your face miserably because of hunger, one of them gave command to still serve. In fact, if you want, they can only refuse.

I started to eat while observing the activities of a restaurant waitress. There is the money, resemble cooking equipment, floors and swab some are clean and tidy tables are disordered.

I imagine their life routines such as that from day to day. During this time it is my escape from the attention. Honestly, if accompany children to eat at fast food restaurants such as this, I will not be too hirau their existence. As between them and have no. They were there when I need help and they serasa no fun if I eat food too.

But that night I could see something like this is not visible. I see how clean the restaurant waitress leftover food on the table. The actual normal-normal saja. But, perhaps because of that night that my eyes see, is a special scene.

See the rest of the food piles up in one of the tables are cleared, I wonder in the heart: what is actually just a dining table in it? If viewed from the leftover food into that, it seems that large entourage. But the attention is how I was leaving the group of former waste food.

Surely the menjijikan. Bone-bone chicken straggle on the table. In fact there are cardboard boxes that can be trashed. Rice here and there. Not under the gutter tables also by gross spillage-crumb crumb. May bring the group of children.

Table is like a farm slaughter. Into bones. I do not think out how they are so into tega leave garbage like that. No thought given to how the remnants of food menjijikan must be cleaned by someone, even though he was even a waitress.

Since that night I decided to discard their own food if the rest of the dining at such restaurants. I also ask that children do the same. Initially not easy. Before this, I also had to do it. But doing that would be my burlesque friends. I spelled be quasi-westerner. Sok had to show abroad. Because in many countries, especially in Europe and America, already plural subscribers to remove their own food to the rest of the trash. Servant limited because of labor costs.

Actually not too difficult to clean the remains of our food. Living ago summarize them in the trash. Just take a few minutes. A small act. But if all people do so, means will be huge for a restaurant waitress.

I once read a book about small acts that have great meaning. Including the story of a father who invites his son to clean up trash in an empty land in the complex their home. Because of the complex each day to see the father and son clean up garbage in there, take a long time for their heart's shell in the trash there.

Later all residents even moved to follow the father and the edges become housing environment clean and healthy. But no one said any of these fathers. There are no slogans, umbul-umbul, especially with a banner or baliho. He just gave pattern. Pattern of a small impact.

I also never read the story about the power of smile. If only everyone gave a little smile to most people who dijumpainya one day, then the impact will be amazing .. People will get a smile felt happier. He will then smiled at the others who dijumpainya. So on, so that smile before widespread to many people. But home is only the beginning of one person who smiled.

Inspired by a story in a book "Chiken Soup", I often pay the toll ticket for the car behind me. No matter who in the background. Because of the story in the book, the person behind me will get the feel of surprises. A fun surprise. If he was happy that day, the day that he will make a beautiful virus spread happiness to the people he met that day. I hope that the virus can spread to many people.

Imagine if you give a sincere compliment for at least one person every day. Praise that will give a chain effect that when people praised you feel happy and happiness transmit the virus to people in surrounding areas.

My child is in elementary school always remind me if I forget to say the words "thank you" when the toll road ticket and money to give change. According to him, the words "thank you" is the "magic words" that will make other people happy. So also the word "please" when we ask the assistance of others, for example, our domestic workers.

Previously I often angry if there is public transport, for example, bus, microbus, bajaj, angkot wishes or steal the car. Until one day my wife that I must remind berempati them. The public is driving the vehicle must struggle to pursue deposit. "While you do not pursue a deposit?''Advice that my wife is from a deceased Romo Mangunwijaya any posts. Since that time, if there is a common vehicle grab seenak udelnya, I immediately remember his wife's advice.

I imagine, how beautiful our lives if we can make other people happy. Would menyenangkannya if we can berempati the feelings of others. How happy when we realize the rest of the food we throw in the fast food restaurants, we have lightened restaurant waitress job.

So also does not remove the toll gate so only after paying, we have lightened the burden of cleaning staff. By not carelessly dispose of chewing gum, we have to avoid people feeling annoyed because of the shoes or the wrong celananya sticky gum.

We often claim to the nation's high berbudaya but how many of us that while in public places, when opening the door, and menahannya briefly turn to guard if there are other people behind us? I often see people who opened the door just so ago without releasing the matter behind hit by the door.

If we want, many small things we can do. This is not to burden our means but large for others. Start of the things small. Start from yourself first. Start now.

"Monkey .."

2009-03-07T10:30:00.000-08:00

"Monkey .."

I once read this interesting article about techniques for hunting monkeys in the forests of Africa. To do so unique. The technique that allows the hunter to catch monkeys living in a state of life-without injury a bit. His ordernya is the case. The primates will be used as an experimental animal or animal circus in the United States.

How to catch a simple course. The hunters use only toples neck long and narrow. Toples is charged has been given a peanut flavor. The goal, so invite primates come. Once filled with nuts, toples-toples was planted in the ground with the mouth, leaving toples left without a close.

The hunters do so in the afternoon. Next day, they tingal meringkus primates that hands were trapped in the bottle can not be issued. Kok, can? Of course we know already answered.

Primates are interested in the aroma that comes from each toples. They enter the hand to take the nut-nuts on the inside. But because the clutch nut, primates that can not hand out interesting. During the bean-bean maintain that, as long as they are also trapped. Toples is too heavy to be appointed. Thus, the primates will not be able to go everywhere!

Perhaps we will see laughing foolish whim of primates. But, without realizing sebenamya we may be in itself absurd. Yes, sometimes we behave like primates that. We mengenggam closely every problem that we have the withdrawal mengenggam monkey nuts.

We are often long, not forgiving, it is not easy to deliver sorry. Ikhlas mouth may say, but the anger is still warmth in the chest. We can never remove it.

In fact, we act so stupid, bring "toples-toples" to any of us go. With the heavy burden of that, we try to keep running. Without realizing, we are trapped sebenamya of acute liver disease.

Friends, actually primates can be happy if it would open the hand grip.

And, we will be safe from heart disease before bed if we want to release all the "malaise" to anyone who interacts with us.

That way we will meet tomorrow to face so bright and with a smile. And, we also know that heaven is for people who clean heart.

So, why do we still hold the perasan also do not feel berlama-old ..?

The secret Mr.Untung

2009-03-06T20:26:00.000-08:00

We all certainly know the figures in the comic Untung Donal Bebek. Donal opposite with the always inopportune. Si Untung this dikisahkan hit continue. It's just luck that is always about the duck leaders in the United States called this original Gladstone. How the easy way to do smth life Untung. Shiftless, never works, but always more happiness from Donal. If Untung and Donal walk together, who suddenly find sekeping money dijalan, surely it is Untung. If you also want to always prosper as the Untung, dont worry, it was lucky to have knowledge.

Professor Richard Wiseman from the University of Hertfordshire United Kingdom, trying to examine the things that distinguish orang2 luck with the underdog. Wiseman recruit a group of people who feel their life is always happiness, and a group of others whose lives are always unhappy. Indeed, its effects, such as play, how luck may be examined. But in fact the lucky people who act differently with them the underdog.

For example, in one of the research is the Luck Project, Wiseman gives a job to calculate the amount of images in a newspaper that is distributed to two groups of yesteryear. Orang2 group of underdog takes on average 2 minutes to complete this task. While the group from their Untung only need a few seconds only! Lho kok bisa?

Yes, because on the previous page to Wiseman was putting the two words that do not ring a small "stop the current! there are 43 pictures in this newspaper. " Kelompol unlucky missed this article when the fun pictures. Even more fraudulent, the newspaper in tengah2, Wiseman put messages that bunyinya: "stop now and take the researchers to find you, and win $ 250!" More and more groups unhappy missed earlier message! Indeed Benar2 underdog.

In short, from the research that diklaimnya "scientific" is, Wiseman found 4 factors that distinguish those who prosper from the underdog:

1. Attitude towards opportunity.

People are lucky that the more open to opportunities. They are more sensitive to the opportunities, creating opportunities for resourceful, and act when the opportunity comes. How is this possible?

In fact people have a lucky attitude and a more rileks open to an experience-pengalam new. They are more open to interaction with people who are new, and create a network-a new social network. People unhappy more taut so closed to new possibilities.

For example, when Barnett Helzberg jewel of a shop owner in New York would sell its jewel shop, accidentally while walking in front of the Plaza Hotel, he heard a woman call a man beside them, "Mr. Buffet! "Only events at a glance, that may be missed most of the less fortunate. But others think Helzber. He thinks if the man is apparently in the next Warren Buffet, one of the largest investors in the United States, he has a store network offers its jewel. Helzberg then immediately greet the man beside them, and he is correct that Warren Buffet. Introduction and Helzberg also occurred previously, it was not the same Warren Buffet, to offer successful business directly to the Buffet, face to face. Buffet year and the network agreed to buy the property Helzberg stores jewel. Truly successful.

2. Using intuition in making decisions.

People are lucky that rely more on intuition than logic. Important decisions made by the most fortunate was conducted on the basis of whispering "conscience" (intuition) of the brain especial powerful figures. The numbers will help, but the final decision of the general "gut feeling". That are difficult for people who are unhappy, whispering conscience before we hear will be difficult if our brain dizzy with the reasoning that interminable. So people have a lucky general method to reinforce their intuition, for example, through a regular meditation. In the cases of mental calm, and clear the mind, intuition will be more accessible. And the more often used, intuition, we also will be more sharp.

Many of my friend who said, "listen to intuition" is what? What tiba2 have heard the voice told us to do something? Wow, if my experience is not like that. Tiba2 Even if you do not hear sound out the source, bisa2 me swoon.

Because this is subjective, it is possible that there are people who beneran the vote.

But if my experience, the intuition that often appear in various forms, for example:

- Signaling from the body. You certainly often. "Why I tiba2 deg-deg an ya, want dapet Rejeki times," such. Indeed, our bodies often give isyarat2 certain that you must maknakan. Suppose you fell dizzy if I want tiba2 dapet gede deal, ya diwaspadai only if tiba2 fell dizzy again.

- Hint of feeling. Suddenly you feel something when others are viewing or doing something. This is never natural. For example, when I still a student, I feel like suddenly excited every time you cross a particular company office. Several years later I was working in the office. This still happens to some other things.

3. Always expect good to come.

People are lucky that always ge-er on life. Preconceive always good that goodness will come to him. With such a mental attitude, they are more resistant to the test on them, and will be more positive in interacting with other people. You just try to do a simple test yourself, ask a successful person you know, how the future business prospects. Surely they will hope and optimism.

4. Changing the bad to good.

People are lucky to crack and change a bad situation into good. For them every situation there is always a good side. In one of his tests Prof. Wiseman ask participants to imagine are going to the bank and suddenly the bank diserbu flock hijacker armed. And requested the participants express their reactions. Reaction from people unhappy umunya group is: "oh i have bad luck in tengah2 the robbery." While the reaction people are lucky, for example, is: "I have hit there, I can write my experience for the media and dapet duit." Whatever the situation lucky man hit the main hold.

They were quickly able to adapt to situations and change into bad luck.

The school's fortune.

For those less fortunate, even to open Professor Wiseman Luck School.
Training provided for Wiseman orang2 such is to create "Luck Diary", journal luck. Each day, participants should note the positive things that happened or fortune.

They are prohibited from hard luck they write. Initially may be difficult, but so they can write one luck, tomorrow, next day will be easier and the more luck I write them.

And when they saw a few days kebelakang Diary Lucky them, they are increasingly aware of how they beruntungnya. And according to the principle "law of attraction", the more they think about how lucky they are, the more lucky events that come in their lives.

So, the secret is simply Untung. In fact all people can prosper. Including temans all.

Ready to start into the Untung?

Ways to Take Action

Sometimes getting started can be the toughest part of the day, especially on
Mondays! What's worse, a bad start can make for a bad day and even a bad
week. Here are ten ways to ensure that you get moving quickly and
effectively on Monday or any other day!

1. Take time to get organized.

How's your work space? Is it crowded, sloppy, piled high with
yesterday's business, surrounded by memorabilia from family outings and
favorite leisure activities? Remember: every item within range or your eyes
or ears impacts upon you--if only subconsciously--and splits your focus. Get
rid of everything that is extraneous in your work place or office and have
an assigned place for EVERYTHING. It takes time to get organized but, once
accomplished, it pays off in less wasted moments.

2. Begin the night before.

Don't wait until Monday morning to decide what you're going to do for
the day or week. Set aside time on Sunday to: (a) decide what you want to do
and accomplish for the week, and (b) schedule your next day (Monday). And
here's a tip: select a time when you are relaxed, not rushed, and give
yourself a chance to muse about what you want to achieve during the week.

3. Prioritize your plan.

If your plan is actually a TO DO list, you probably have far more items
on it than you can hope to accomplish in any reasonable time. That's where
prioritizing comes in. I don't have any problems with TO DO lists as long as
they're prioritized. In fact, putting items on the list that need to be
done, but are of low priority has the effect of removing them from my
mind--I can check back now and then, but I don't worry about them. And,
guess what: when I DO check back, I often find that the need to get them
done has simply evaporated. But, back to prioritizing. A simple system is: A
equals Very important, B equals Important, C equals Not very important. If
you have a D in your system, drop it and all the items under it!

4. Honor your personal work styles.

When you are most creative? When is the best time to: do routine
chores? exercise? study? nap? (yes, nap! - see below) communicate? Each
person has an ideal work style that operates as a function of being a
certain body and personality type. Understand and honor that style and you
will be more effective; ignore it, and you will work at less than optimum
capacity. My style is to do creative work (writing, speculative thinking,
planning) in the morning (sometimes very early at 0400 or so, even while in
bed). Everyone is different and you have to determine what is right for you.

5. Cat nap.

If you're a Type A, you may have trouble with this one! The fact is,
nearly everyone encounters a low point in energy, usually about 1:00 PM
every day depending, of course, on what time they've gotten up and how much
sleep they've had the night before. You can train yourself, using a simple 1
to 10 count-down method, to sleep for 5, 10, or 15 minutes. With practice,
you'll wake up within a few seconds of the time you've chosen, AND you'll be
more refreshed by this kind of meditative sleep which is more beneficial
than normal sleep by a ratio of roughly 4:1. No, your nap won't keep you
from getting to sleep at night. If anything, you will drift off more easily
and gain greater benefits, because your nap sleeps help alleviate deep set
and subtly building stress. I've trained myself to nap almost anywhere for
period from five to thirty minutes. Even with minimum time, I wake up
refreshed and ready to go.

6. Schedule time by blocks rather than tasks.

Have you ever allotted an hour to finish a task and then found that it
took two hours thereby screwing up the rest of your day and schedule? It's a
common occurrence and, when it happens, the result is greatly increased
stress. The most common examples are tasks such as expense-keeping, writing
or research projects, and phone calls. One way to alleviate the stress of
these objective-oriented tasks is to simply allot a given amount of time to
them, say an hour, and then move on to the next task. This practice ensures
that you will make assessable progress on each task without getting bogged
down.

7. Make the first touch the deciding one.

You've heard the standard advice: handle everything only once.
Unfortunately, that's not always possible or prudent, and here's where the
organization achieved through step one above comes in. Your first task with
respect to new materials coming in to you (letters, assignments, calls,
etc.) is to DECIDE what to do about them. In each case, your organization
should support your decision. For example, in opening your mail (and
e-mail), there will be some letters that you will want to answer immediately
(probably very few), others you will want to answer within a specified
period of time, others you will want to put on hold until you get more
information, and still others that will be immediately destined for the
circular file. The important thing here is to have identified the possible
categories before hand and then be ruthless about adhering to them. In the
case of correspondence, you may want to have a separate file for each
category AND a procedure for periodically reviewing each file to ensure that
you act on it. This same principle works with tasks you are assigned or jobs
that pop up. Your first action is to determine the category in which they
fall: do, delegate, defer, or drop.

8. Follow the WIFO principle, selectively.

WIFO stands for worst in, first out. Have you ever kept postponing a
project because you just didn't want to do it? Chances are, if you look back
at the experience, you'll find that you spend nearly as much time worry and
rescheduling it as you did actually DOING it! There's a way around this one.
Simply, DO IT-- either on a task or time basis. I've found this to be a
powerful tool, because invariably those tasks that I've put off are easier
and less time consuming than I expected, WHEN I simply get on with them.

9. Schedule a clean-up day or half-day at least weekly.

No matter how good you are at scheduling, there will always be times
when your desk is piled high, your files over-stuffed, and your
plan/schedule crowded with extra added tasks. You may find it helpful to
pick a time each week (maybe Saturday morning) as a clean-up period, a time
when you dispose of all those little things that have built up during the
week and when you mentally review your priorities.

10. Become fully present-focused.

One of the virtues of scheduling activities by time blocks rather than
by objective benchmarks is that it allows you to become totally absorbed for
a set period of time in what you're doing. Believe it or not, total
absorption is relaxing. It's splitting your attention--between what you're
currently doing and what you have to do next--that is exhausting. When you
become totally focused on what you are doing at the moment, a free-flowing
momentum and pace occur, and you get the job done faster, easier, and time
flies. The steps leading to total absorption in the task are: (a) Organize
and task and set aside the time, (b) Remove all that is extraneous from your
work space, (c) Rehearse the task mentally (this quiets the mind and focuses
your attention), and (d) take each step deliberately and with full
attention.
