Seorang pengarang pernah mengatakan,

“Menikahlah dengan orang yang Anda cintai, setelah itu cintailah orang
yang Anda nikahi” Ini perwujudan rasa syukur.

Ada cerita menarik mengenai seorang kakek yang mengeluh karena tak dapat membeli sepatu, padahal sepatunya sudah lama rusak. Suatu sore ia melihat seseorang yang tak mempunyai kaki, tapi tetap ceria. Saat itu juga si kakek berhenti mengeluh dan mulai bersyukur.

Hal kedua yang sering membuat kita tak bersyukur adalah kecenderungan membanding-bandingk an diri kita dengan orang lain. Kita merasa orang lain lebih beruntung. Kemanapun kita pergi, selalu ada orang yang lebih pandai, lebih tampan, lebih cantik, lebih percaya diri, dan lebih kaya dari kita.

Saya ingat, pertama kali bekerja saya senantiasa membandingkan penghasilan saya dengan rekan-rekan semasa kuliah. Perasaan ini membuat saya resah dan gelisah. Sebagai mantan mahasiswa teladan di kampus, saya merasa gelisah setiap mengetahui ada kawan satu angkatan yang memperoleh penghasilan di atas saya.

Nyatanya, selalu saja ada kawan yang penghasilannya melebihi saya. Saya menjadi gemar gonta-ganti pekerjaan, hanya untuk mengimbangi rekan-rekan saya.

Saya bahkan tak peduli dengan jenis pekerjaannya, yang penting gajinya lebih besar. Sampai akhirnya saya sadar bahwa hal ini tak akan pernah ada habisnya. Saya berubah dan mulai mensyukuri apa yang saya dapatkan. Kini saya sangat menikmati pekerjaan saya. Rumput tetangga memang sering kelihatan lebih hijau dari rumput di pekarangan sendiri.

Hidup akan lebih bahagia kalau kita dapat menikmati apa yang kita miliki. Karena itu bersyukur merupakan kualitas hati yang tertinggi.

Saya ingin mengakhiri tulisan ini dengan cerita mengenai seorang ibu yang sedang terapung di laut karena kapalnya karam, namun tetap berbahagia. Ketika ditanya kenapa demikian, ia menjawab, ”Saya mempunyai dua anak laki-laki. Yang pertama sudah meninggal, yang kedua hidup ditanah seberang. Kalau berhasil selamat, saya sangat bahagia karena dapat berjumpa dengan anak kedua saya. Tetapi kalaupun mati tenggelam, saya juga akan berbahagia karena saya akan berjumpa dengan anak pertama saya di surga.”

Bersyukurlah !

Bersyukurlah apabila kamu tidak tahu sesuatu. Karena itu memberimu kesempatan untuk belajar.
Bersyukurlah untuk masa-masa sulit. Di masa itulah kamu tumbuh…
Bersyukurlah untuk keterbatasanmu. Karena itu memberimu kesempatan untuk berkembang.
Bersyukurlah untuk setiap tantangan baru. Karena itu akan membangun kekuatan dan karaktermu.
Bersyukurlah untuk kesalahan yang kamu buat. Itu akan mengajarkan pelajaran yang berharga.
Bersyukurlah bila kamu lelah dan letih. Karena itu kamu telah membuat suatu perbedaan.

Rasa syukur dapat mengubah hal yang negatif menjadi positif …
Temukan cara bersyukur akan masalah-masalahmu dan semua itu akan menjadi berkah bagimu …

Information and communication technology spending in 2005

Information technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware." IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve information.

Today, the term information technology has ballooned to encompass many aspects of computing and technology, and the term is more recognizable than ever before. The information technology umbrella can be quite large, covering many fields. IT professionals perform a variety of duties that range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks and information databases. A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as the management and administration of entire systems. When computer and communications technologies are combined, the result is information technology, or "infotech". Information Technology (IT) is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate, and/or disseminate information.
