Bagaimana menjadi orang yang selalu positif? jawabannya semudah meniup udara ke dalam balon, perlu sedikit tenaga, namun mudah dilakukan. Pelaksanaannya? Jika itu mudah, maka Indonesia akan penuh dengan hal positif, nyatanya? susah susah gampang, gampang untuk menjadi positif dalam satu hari, hari yang lain? tergantung "mood".

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.

The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score.

The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none".

The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.

The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.

The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.

The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.*

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the young man.

The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.

This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.

After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.

The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: "Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"

The youth answered, "I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'

The Director asked, " please tell me your feelings."

The youth said, Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not the successful me today. Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.

The director said, " This is what I am looking for to be my manager.
I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead?*

You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person.

The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.

Catatan: Sebenernya seh ini tulisan aku posting di blogku yang lain, tapi karena hanya blog in yang di baca oleh Nac Thanc jadi sengaja aku repost…..met baca Nac Thanc…..mari lanjutkan open discussionnya………dan jangan lupa kalo denger ada suara tokek, just call me…….menuju 1 milyar

Dah beberapa minggu ini aku kehabisan ide buat nulis di blog, bahkan saat BW sekalipun dilakukan tanpa meninggalkan jejak.

Sepertinya penyakit malasku dah semakin parah.

Minggu lalu juga aku memantapkan hati untuk mengatakan say goodbye to facebook, dah lah, media kacau seperti itu ditinggalin aja……tapi twitter tetep jalan…….setidaknya sampai saat ini, twitter ga dipake buat ngehina agama orang….(atau jangan jangan belum atao aku ga tau…)

Nah di twitter lagi rame soal flotilla, itu kapal misi kemanusiaan buat bantuan ke Gaza yang di serang ama israel di tengah perairan internasional, dini hari pula…duh kacau tuh israel…..

dan ternyata twitterpun tersentuh tangan tangan israel setidaknya bisa dilihat dari tidak masuknya topic #flotilla ke dalam trending topic twitter, padahal itu yang komen bejibun banget dari seluruh dunia………

Pernahkah kita memperhatikan perjalanan hidup kita dalam konteks bahasa sehari hari yang kita gunakan?

Mungkin ya, mungkin tidak, setidaknya renungan akan hal itu tersirat dalam benakku saat membaca komentar salah satu rekan pada tulisan cerita pendekku, “Pram and his journey”, komentarnya sederhana, “lo seh gue, kok gue jadi bingung....”.

Sebenarnya aku sendiri tak terlalu memahami akan maksud dari komentar tersebut, namun penggunaan kalimat yang berbau betawi atau sebagian orang menyebutnya sebagai bahasa gaul, mungkin adalah semacam kritisi dari penggunaan bahasa dalam ceritaku itu.

Dari hal itu, aku kemudian berpikir mengenai perjalanan kehidupan sekolahku dulu. SD dan SMP kulewati di daerah yang bisa kusebut sebagai Bandung pinggiran, pada saat itu penggunaan bahasa sunda sebagai pengantar pergaulan sehari hari sangatlah kental, bahasa indonesia hanya digunakan pada saat proses belajar mengajar, kecuali saat pelajaran bahasa inggris atau bahasa sunda tentunya.

Khutbah jumat kali ini terasa ceria, semangat dari sang penceramah menular ke jemaahnya, setidaknya ke beberapa orang yang mendengarkan dengan penuh perhatian (walau ternyata setelah shalat jumat berakhir, kuketahui masih saja ada yang tertidur), diriku sendiri sempat mengalami blank state beberapa saat.

Tema yang di ambil adalah mengenai,….ups…apa yah….lupa…

Beberapa yang kuingat adalah, rumah yang tidak dibacakan Al Qur’an didalamnya akan terasa sempit walaupun sebenarnya secara fisik luas, rumah yang sering dibacakan Al Quran di dalamnya akan terasa luas, walaupun secara fisik sebenarnya sempit.

Lalu rumah yang didalamnya sering dibacakan Al Baqarah dan Ali Imran, akan terjaga dari bahaya sihir karena penyihir tidak akan mampu membaca kedua surat tersebut.

Di sindir pula kebiasaan kita (Baca: AKU) menghabiskan waktu untuk facebook, twitter (BW ga disebut tuh, belum kenal aja kayanya sang penceramah), mengalahkan kebiasaan baik membaca Al Qur’an.

Kalo dah kaya gini, semangat 45 membara untuk berubah, tapi biasanya beberapa saat kemudian, semangatnya melempem lagi.

“Seperti lilin yang meleleh termakan api sendiri”

“Semangat itu hilang sebelum Matahari terbenam diperaduannya”

Apa pendapat anda mengenai seseorang yang ketika membaca papan larangan : “ stop, di depan ada jurang”, malah tersenyum, mengabaikan larangan tersebut lalu dengan seenaknya saja meneruskan perjalannanya, lalu masuk jurang. Apakah “bodoh” sudah cukup menggambarkan keadaan orang tersebut?

Lalu bagaimana pula pendapat anda pada seseorang yang membaca papan larangan yang sama, lalu mengindahkannya dan bukan hanya melanjutkan perjalanannya hingga jatuh ke jurang, tetapi juga mengajak serta orang orang disekitarnya untuk ikut serta masuk ke jurang yang sama. Apakah “bodoh” sudah cukup menggambarkan keadaan orang tersebut?

Ketika pertama kali aku membuat tulisan ini, tujuan utamanya adalah menyindir perokok di luar sana. Bagaimana tidak, sudah jelas ada peringatan pemerintah mengenai bahaya rokok untuk kesehatan, namun dengan entengnya mereka mengabaikan hal itu, lebih parah lagi, banyak perokok yang merokok di lingkungan rumah atau kawasan umum dan sebagai akibatnya, asap rokokpun tersebar dan terisap oleh banyak orang.

Menurutku gambaran perokok dan perilakunya adalah sama dengan apa yang kutulis dalam dua paragraf awal tulisan ini.

Namun tiba tiba kutersadar pada hal yang lebih besar, kehidupan ini, bukankah Tuhan telah memberikan petunjuk tentang bagaimana cara menjalani hidup ini dengan benar? Namun berapa banyak diantara kita yang mengacuhkannya.

Dengan terbahak bahak kita (BACA: AKU) abaikan peringatannya dan lalu berjalan atau mungkin berlari, seolah olah tak sabar lagi, untuk terjun menuju jurang kehancuran.

Apakah “bodoh” sudah cukup menggambarkan keadaan kita (BACA: AKU) ini?

Aku membuat label baru untuk blog ini, “bergelut dengan diri”, rencananya akan kuisi dengan tulisan mengenai dialog yang terjadi dalam diri ini, isinya bisa riil, ataupun ilusi, silahkan interpretasikan sendiri.

Semoga bisa terjaga konsistensinya
