KAPANLAGI.COM - Annas Al Aidid, SH, mengungkapkan bahwa tim investigasi Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) telah memeriksa Eyang Subur. Pemeriksaan tersebut bahkan sampai menyambangi kamar pribadi Eyang.

"MUI masuk ke tempat yang dicurigai, dilakukan terbuka dan kamar pribadi Eyang dan bertemu istri-istri Eyang," ujarnya ketika dijumpai di kediaman Eyang di Jalan Beringin III, Duri Kepa, Kebon Jeruk, Jakarta Barat, Kamis (18/4) malam.

Annas menambahkan kedatangan tim investigasi MUI ke rumah Eyang sekaligus memperjelas bantahan Eyang soal tudingan aliran sesat yang diarahkan kepada Eyang.

"Investigasi di kediaman Eyang Subur ini sekaligus klarifikasi dan bantahan. Sampai detik ini MUI belum mengeluarkan apapun soal fatwa soal sesat yang dilakukan Eyang Subur. Sekaligus membantah isu Eyang dalam aliran sesat," jelas Annas.

Sementara itu kuasa hukum Eyang Subur, Ramdan Alamsyah, SH, menyatakan bahwa MUI juga telah menanyakan riwayat hidup kliennya. Eyang pun telah melakukan sumpah secara Islam di akhir pemeriksaan.

"Tadi tim dari MUI juga menanyakan kronologi riwayat hidup Eyang, di penutup Eyang sudah bersumpah atas nama Islam. Intinya, apa yang dikatakan Eyang benar dan apa yang dikatakan Adi tidak benar. Yang mengatakan Eyang Subur menganut aliran sesat itu tidak benar," tegas Ramdan.

Achieving the maximum potential life

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 12:19:00 -0800

Everyone longed for a better future; successful in your career,
household and social relations, but we often hit by various
constraints. And it was the biggest obstacle to ourselves.
Through his work, Joel Osteen challenges us to get out of the mindset that
narrow and begin to think in a new paradigm.

There are 7 steps that we achieve maximum potential life:

The first step is expanding horizons. You should see life
with the eyes of faith, look at yourself being bolted to a higher level.
You must have a clear mental picture of what you will achieve.
This picture should be a part of you, in your mind, in your conversation,
seep into your subconscious mind, in deeds and in each
aspects of life.

Step two is to develop a healthy self image. That means you have to
underlying picture yourself on what God says about you.
Achieving the goal of your success depends on how you look
yourself and how you feel about yourself. Because it will determine
level of confidence in the act. The fact that you will not be
never shot higher than what you think about yourself

Step three is to discover the power behind your thoughts and words.
The main target is the mind of an enemy attack. He knew if he
managed to control and manipulate what you think, then he
be managed to control and manipulate the entire life.
Thoughts determine the behavior, attitude and self-image. Mind set goals.
The Bible warns us to always keep our minds.

The fourth step is the release of the past, let it go ...
You may have lost everything that no one should experience
in this life. If you want to live in victory, you can not use
trauma of the past as an excuse for making bad choices today.
You must have the courage not to make the past as a reason for your bad attitude
during this time, or justify your actions to not forgive someone.

Step five is to find strength in the worst circumstances even
We have to be: "I may have dropped a few times in my life, but
but I will continue to stay down there. "We all face
challenges in life. We all have experienced things that come
attack us. We may be imposed from the outside, but the key to life
victory is to learn how to rise again from the inside.

Step six is to give with joy. One of the biggest challenges
we face is the temptation to live selfish.
For we know that God does want the best for us,
He wants us to prosper, enjoy the grace and more that He is in store for us,
but sometimes we forget and get caught up in selfish behavior.
Indeed, we will experience more joy than I ever imagined
if we want to share life with others.

Step seven is to choose to be happy today. You do not have to wait
until all your personality resolved. You do not have to put off happiness
until you reach all of your target. God wants you to be happy any condition,
now!

Millions of people use the internet for a variety of needs, from personal, organizational, up for official use, as judged this internet more practical. In our beloved country have started many schools who use the Internet as an important tool in the learning activities. With the increasing number of internet users especially in the use of word wide web and e mail, they are increasingly integrated with sophisticated programs. For them the internet be part of his life, as they get along with their clothes.

3. If used correctly, the Internet can provide great benefits. The Internet provides a sea of information in the form of books, journals, articles and other writing, as well as video, the collection exceeds any conventional library. The number of Internet users in Indonesia based on data dariGoogle.com / adplanner per May 2010 has reached 38 million people. For in Asia, Indonesia in the top 5 most Internet users along with China, Japan, India and South Korea. Users of social networking services Facebook in Indonesia also shows a high concentration, which recorded more than 26 million users. The agency services according to Alexa.com site, a number of sites that provide services to share information and collaborate experiencing a rapid increase in visitors from Indonesia. Call in addition to Facebook, there's Blogspot service (blogger.com), WordPress, YouTube, Twitter and Multiply all of which are in the top 20 most visited sites of Indonesia. Even some of them had already entrenched in the top 5 as blogspot and Facebook.

4. Apart from the impact of the Internet, the Internet is a new communications technology that allows users to obtain information. Nowadays internet usage rapidly increasing, the majority of people in the world have been using this internet sophistication for various needs, ranging from the personal, organizational, to the office, because the use of the Internet is considered more practical and efficient. Influence of the Internet is huge. To the extent that has affected people's lifestyles. Today almost no one escape the influence of the internet, and even now the government was also utilizes sophisticated Internet to convey information to the public, such as information about the city, to promote tourism, e-ID cards, etc.. The world of education is one field that utilizes the Internet for the purpose of improving the quality of an educational institution. Education is the holder of an important role in the progress of a nation, for the world of education is to print the next generation. Internet can be said to be a virtual library that stores a variety of science in it. Internet can be used as an alternative source of knowledge.

5. In the use of the internet, the young ranked first. Internet has become part of their lifestyle. Almost every youth activity is influenced by the Internet, ranging from the use of social networking to their education.

6. 1. As a medium that can help them find the information to complete school assignments. The Internet provides information that can be used as a reference for the tasks of school.2. As an alternative source of knowledge. Various science from science to the public until there is a formal education in internet.3. As a means of light entertainment through movies, games, music etc.. to simply remove the saturation of the task, subjects in school.

7. 4. Looking for new friends or just communicating with friends through social networks, like facebook, tweeter, blogs, etc.. Social networks can also be used by students to discuss long distance to complete the task of school.5. Looking for information about the new things that are popular or teens like, K-POP, suffle dance, basketball, etc.. It can make teens to channel their talents in the field of non-akademis.6. Looking for information about their idol. Information they can motivate them to learn. Without such an idol may live aimlessly for teenagers, they need someone who can make them motivated to be useful for the generation of the nation, because the teenager is still in the development phase.

8. 7. Teens become more creative. Internet can be one means to channel their creativity, such as writing fiction and in post on a blog, etc.8. They are not clueless about computers (technology illiterate). They can keep up with the times and technology are almost entirely using internet. 9. Internet as a means of learning the business. Not a few teenagers who currently use the internet as a means of doing business, such as buying and selling online, creation and management of websites that provide a reference for the assignment of students, etc.. And there are many more benefits of the Internet for adolescents, because the Internet is a technology that provides information without limitation, the benefits are also comparable.

9. Internet is a technological product. A product would provide negative and positive impacts. Or positif negative impact can be felt by everyone, including students. Positive or negative impact of the Internet for students of course result from the way that Internet use the Internet as a media liaison self. using fast paced it is not easily separated from the our life . kinds of communication problems can be solved by the internet. Positive and negative impacts of the Internet for student certainly not present. Should have a positive impact to be greater, if that's true how to use the internet. Positive and negative effects for students its not absolute. Assessment lies in what is perceived as personal. However, in general it can be concluded about the harm or negative impact for Internet

10. NEGATIVE IMPACT: asocial most common negative effects experienced by students is the tendency to be more comfortable communicating through the internet rather than in person. He will feel a closeness with the object communication via the internet, rather than communicating directly. This will bring a sense of asocial that makes a student "self isolate". There is a positive impact of proximity students with the Internet, which can get to know the ins and outs of the Internet with a good, but ultimately will be detrimental if a student feel more comfortable dealing with inanimate objects rather than dealing with humans. Becomes less sharp sense of emotion and as a result is not sensitive to the environment.

11. NEGATIVE IMPACT: ANNOYING HEALTH internet negative impact for students are eye health, too much sitting and neurological disorders due to too frequent hand typing and clicking a mouse. Bodies work more on things that are repeated will cause negative impacts. Too often in front of the screen to connect to the internet causing organ fatigue and affect the function of these organs gradually. In addition there is the possibility of a crime which ease the impact of the internet. At first only the identity theft and the sale of counterfeit goods were intended to deceive and then spread to other crimes such as robbery motive. This can happen after the victim knows the address of the internet or social networking.

12. NEGATIVE IMPACT: PORNOGRAPHY There was closest to the internet and very negative, ie pornography. Pornography is a very vulnerable place on the internet. The resulting negative impact can be seen directly in the space that is not too long. For the teenager who is still unstable, they will consider the action he saw pornography via the internet is natural thing. That is the cause of many sexually misbehaving teens today, considering they get sex education from sources that are misleading.

13. Positive and negative impacts are always there, especially on the internet for students. This shows the imperfection of human work. As an internet user, and as a person educated, students should know about the negative and the positive impact that is expected to be a good pick for him. Armed with knowledge about the negative impact of the Internet to students, the students should be more wise in using the internet.

History of the Internet and the proliferation of the Internet

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:05:00 -0800

Beginning in 1957, through the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), the United States committed to developing an integrated communications network that connects the scientific community and military purposes. It is against the backdrop of the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union (in 1957 the Soviets launched sputnik).

The first major development of the Internet is the most important invention of packet switching that ARPA in 1960. Packet switching is sending a message that can be broken down into smaller packages, each package can be through a variety of alternative lines broken when one of the main track to achieve its intended purpose. Packet switching also allows the network can be used simultaneously to do a lot of connections, unlike the telephone lines that require dedicated lines to connect. So when the ARPANET became a national computer network in the United States in 1969, packet switching is used thoroughly as replacing circuit switching communication methods used in public telephone.

The development of the Internet both recorded in the history of the Internet is the development of a network layer protocol known as the most widely used today is TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol). A protocol is a set of rules for dealing . This protocol was developed by Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf in 1974. With the standard protocol and widely agreed upon, then the local network scattered in different places can be interconnected to form a giant network even now reach the entire world. Network using internet protocol is what is often referred to as the Internet.

ARPANET became bigger since then and began to be managed by the private sector in 1984, it joined a growing number of universities and commercial enterprises began to enter. TCP / IP to an agreed common protocols that can communicate on the internet is.

The third major development is the establishment of Internet applications on the World Wide Web in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee. Applications World Wide Web (WWW) has become a highly anticipated item of all Internet users. WWW makes all users can share a variety of applications and content, as well as linking together scattered material on the internet. Since then the growth of Internet users skyrocketing. Influence the development of the Internet ...
The Internet has made a new revolution in the world of computers and the world of communications that are not unprecedented. Some findings telegraph, telephone, radio, and computers is a series of scientific work that led towards the creation of the Internet in a more integrated and more capable than those tools. Internet has the ability to broadcast to the world, has a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without being limited by geography.

The Internet is the most successful example of business investment that can never stop, and commitment to research following the development of the information technology infrastructure. Beginning with a study packet switching (packet switching), government, industry and the academic community have collaborated effort to change and create this exciting new technology. Developments intenet history can be divided into four aspects, namely

The existence of technological evolution that began aspects of the research packet switching (packet switching) ARPANET (the following technology equipment), which at that time carried out further research to develop insights into the data communications infrastructure that includes multiple dimensions such as scale, performannce / reliability, and high-level kefungsian.
The existence of aspects of the implementation and management of a global and complex infrastructure.

There is the social aspect that is produced in a large community consisting of Internauts working together to create and develop this technology continues.
There is a commercial aspect resulting in an extreme but effective change from a study that resulted in the formation of a large infrastructure and useful information. Internet is now a global information infrastructure (widespread information infrastructure), which was originally called "the National (or Global or Galactic) Information Infrastructure" in the United States. Its history is very complex and includes many aspects such as technology, organization, and community. And the effect is not only on the field of computer communication techniques but also affects the social problems as of now we do is we use a lot of these tools on line to achieve
an electronic business (electronic commerce), ownership information and interact with the community.

History of the Internet and the proliferation of the Internet
The history of the intenet began in 1969 when the Department of Defense, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) decided to conduct research on how to connect a computer to form an organic network. This research program known as the ARPANET. In 1970, already more than 10 computers were successfully connected to each other so that they can communicate with each other and form a network....

In 1972, Roy Tomlinson managed to complete the e-mail that he was created a year ago for the ARPANET. E-mail program is so easy that instantly became popular. In the same year, was also introduced as an icon @ important symbol that shows the "at" or "on". In 1973, ARPANET computer network were developed outside the United States.

Computer University College in London, was the first computer that is outside the United States who are members of Arpanet network. In the same year, two computer experts that Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn presented a bigger idea, which became the forerunner of the Internet thinking. This idea was presented for the first time at the University of Sussex.

Historic day following the date of March 26, 1976, when the Queen of England managed to send an e-mail from the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment at Malvern. A year later, more than 100 computers on the ARPANET joined to form a network or network. In 1979, Tom Truscott, Jim Ellis, and Steve Bellovin, created the first newsgroups called USENET. In 1981 France Telecom created a buzz by launching the first television telephone, where people can call each other while dealing with the video link.
Because the computers that make up the network increasingly, it needed a formal protocol that is recognized by all networks. In 1982 established the Transmission Control Protocol or TCP and Internet Protocol or IP that we know it all. Meanwhile in Europe appear counter computer network known as Eunet, which provides computer network services in the countries of the Netherlands, England, Denmark and Sweden. Eunet network providing e-mail and USENET newsgroups.
For a uniform address existing computer network, then in 1984 introduced the domain name system, which we are now familiar with DNS or Domain Name System. Computers connected to the already existing network of more than 1000 computers more. In 1987 the number of computers connected to the network soared 10-fold 10,000 more.

In 1988, Jarko Oikarinen of Finland discovered and simultaneously introduce the IRC or Internet Relay Chat. A year later, the number of interconnected computers soared 10-fold return in a year. No fewer than 100,000 computers are now forming a network. 1990 is the year of the most historic, when Tim Berners Lee to find a program editor and a browser that can roam from one computer to another computer, which form a network. The program is called www, or Worl Wide Web.
In 1992, the computers that are connected to form the network has exceeded a million computers, and in the same year the term surfing the internet. In 1994, the website has grown to 3000 pages address, and for the first time in a virtual-shopping or e-retail surfaced on the internet. The world changed. In the same year, Yahoo! was founded, which is also well-born Netscape Navigator 1.0.

What is the Internet? Let us try to describe understanding of the Internet.

The Internet is a global network of computers world, large and very vast which each computer are connected to each other from country to country around the world and contains a variety of information, ranging from text, images, audio, video, and more.

The Theory of Evolution began with Charles Darwin and his book

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 7 Dec 2012 12:04:00 -0800

The Theory of Evolution began with Charles Darwin and his book, Origin of Species. Interestingly, he did not conclude that evolution began billions of years ago in a chance combination of just the right chemicals. He simply observed that many species were similar enough that they appeared to come from a common ancestor. Despite its "evolution" into what it is today, it has become the default scientific explanation of the origin of life.

To understand evolution, one must understand the difference between the origin of life and the tiny changes that we do see happen and are clearly happening. The origin of life is thought to have taken place billions of years ago when the earth was rather young and was bathed in water and a plethora of simple molecules that included carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, chlorine, etc. In other words, the ingredients of life. It is believed that with the aid of energy from the sun, these chemicals combined in various combinations and every once in a while, or maybe just once, the one in a million chance (so to speak) would cause a combination that could be classified as primitive life giving molecules. Eventually these combined to make more complex molecules until they formed into what would be considered a very simple cell of come sort.

Now of course it is thought that even basic molecules were very uncommon, and the more complex they became the lesser and lesser chance they had of forming, but that the one in a billion billion billion billion, etc. ended up as a cell. Of course this took place over millions of years, it is not supposed to have happened in a short time. However, for some random reason, a tiny fraction, or perhaps even just one of these few primitive cells, through pure chance, happened to have the ability to divide, which it began doing. Soon there were lots of these cells and as they filled the ocean, natural selection began to take effect and most of them died off, but every once in a while, one would have a mutation that allowed it to adapt a little better and therefore reproduce.
It is this natural selection that we see every day. We know for example that wolves were the original ancestors of dogs. This is an example of evolution, just evolution that humans forced. Every once in a while, a wolf was a little tamer than normal and then bred to produce offspring that were also tame. Over many generations, they became what we call dogs today. There are also clear similarities between animals in different places because their environments demanded slightly different survival properties.

These distinctions are important because no one is positing that species can't change over time, but many deny that life could have come from a pool of non-living molecules purely by chance. So when you say that you don't buy into evolution, you don't usually mean that minor attributes of species cannot change over time, you mean that you don't think life originated with a pool of slime. Not understanding the difference can make it seem that you do not know what is evolution.

Effect of globalization on culture indonesia

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 5 Dec 2012 12:03:00 -0800

Globalization is a special phenomenon in human civilization that moves on the global community and is part of the global human process. The presence of information technology and communication technology accelerated the process of globalization is accelerating. Globalization touches all the important aspects of life. Globalization creates new challenges and issues that must be addressed, solved in an attempt harness globalization for the benefit of life.

Globalization has many interpretations from different perspectives. Some people interpret globalization as a process of downsizing the world or make the world as befits a small village. Some others say that globalization is the unification efforts of the world community in terms of lifestyle, orientation, and culture. In the development of globalization causes many problems in the field of culture, for example, the loss of the original culture of a region or a country, the erosion of cultural values, declining sense of nationalism and patriotism, loss of familial nature and mutual assistance, loss of confidence, and westernized lifestyle westerlies.

Besides today's society is experiencing a severe invasion of pornography in the form of tabloid products, magazines, books in print, television, radio, and is primarily free circulation VCD. Both are coming from abroad or produced themselves. Although media pernografi not new to Indonesia, but never in a wide scale now. Even some foreigners think Indonesia as "heaven pornography" because it's very easy to get the products and the price is cheap pornography. And another example for example, we take a walk in the mall or in public places is very easy to meet Indonesian women dressed in skimpy and spit genitalia. Where the culture is so contrary to the norms that exist in Indonesia. Not to mention the rampant life of free sex among teenagers today. Evidenced by the cast porn video is people of Indonesia.

Here the government is expected to be active not indifferent to see the development of Indonesian society. Appeal and if necessary prohibit many people lunge yabg behaved improperly. For example, when President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono suggested that television did not celebrate premises rocking erotic navel or belly look. It turned out quite felt the impact, which is not a lot of television show scantily clad artist

From the description and explanation above, it can be concluded that the impact of globalization in fact very influential on the attitudes and culture of Indonesia globalizing world where the phenomenon must be addressed with wisdom and positive thinking because of globalization and modernization is necessary and beneficial to progress. But we should not be careless and complacent, because the era of openness and freedom that also have negative effects that will damage the nation's culture. Resisting globalization is not the right choice, because that means hinder the progress of science and technology. It must be intelligence in the filtering effects of globalization. Access the advancement of information technology and communications can be used as conservationists and developers lokal.Jati cultural values embedded themselves in the region should continue to Indonesian public spirit, and must continue, increasing religious values.

The Montessori Approach to Education

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 3 Dec 2012 12:02:00 -0800

Developed by Italian educator and doctor Maria Montessori, the Montessori model of education is based on respect for a child's natural psychological development. It's estimated that there are more than 20,000 Montessori schools worldwide, with students ranging from infant age to eighteen years of age. A Montessori education emphasizes a child's social development as much as his or her academic development, and it aims to help a child build independence and practical skills within a supportive framework which respects each student's individual growth rates. Students are looked at as whole individuals: the physical and the emotional are as important as their cognitive development.
Montessori schools for infants and toddlers have the primary focus of providing opportunities for children to develop motor skills, independence, and a love of learning. Teachers engage students with materials that are size and age-appropriate. The Montessori approach at this age also aims to develop toileting skills. Parents often participate with their youngsters in "parent-tot" classes at which the parent can help guide their child through a variety of age-appropriate activities.

As children grow into the preschool and kindergarten years (ages two and a half to six), the Montessori model engages them in activities which help them develop independence in a variety of practical pursuits. Mixed age classrooms allow children to help and learn from one another. Teachers provide manipulatives such as spoons and cups which help students develop confidence and practical skills. Students move freely and are often given the choice to engage in the activity which interests them most, allowing them to build a sense of freedom and personal empowerment. A focus on the development of the senses is also evident in a Montessori preschool classroom, as is engagement in art, music and language activities. Students' differences are respected and celebrated.

As students approach the elementary and middle school years (ages six to twelve), the Montessori curriculum is integrated to emphasize connections across all subject areas. Language, history, science, math, and the arts are all studied in hands-on, interconnected, project-oriented ways. Students learn through hands-on experiences and are actively engaged in investigation and research; they are not vessels to be "filled" with information. Students direct their own explorations, further emphasizing the development of their independence. Students also take learning outside of the classroom (sometimes referred to "going out" in Montessori) to engage in real-world investigations which build on what they learn in the classroom environment. The result is a confident, independent learner who is ready to succeed in high school and beyond.

Tujuh Pahlawan Revolusi', Soekarno juga dilengserkan

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 21:04:00 -0800

MEMPROKLAMIRKAN negara adalah gampang! Tetapi menyusun, mempertahankan dan memiliki negara buat selama-lamanya, adalah sukar. Hanya rakyat yang ulet, yang tidak bosanan, tabah dan jantan dapat bernegara kekal dan abadi. Siapa ingin memiliki mutiara, harus ulet menahan napas dan berani terjun menyelami samudera yang sedalam-dalamnya. (Amanat Presiden Soekarno pada Ulang Tahun Proklamasi Kemerdekaan Indonesia, 17 Agustus 1946 di Yogyakarta, ''Sekali Merdeka Tetap Merdeka!'').

''Pemberian gelar Pahlawan Nasional untuk Ir. Soekarno dan Drs. Mohammad Hatta, Rabu (7/11) lalu, membuatku tertarik menggebur kumpulan pidato Presiden I Republik Indonesia itu, khususnya saat pemerintah mengungsi ke Yogyakarta. Di awal pidatonya, Soekarno yang lebih akrab dipanggil Bung Karno masih sulit membayangkan nasib negara yang diproklamasikannya bersama Hatta. Namun, proklamasi diyakininya sebagai seruan 'berhenti' buat penjajah untuk menindas rakyat Indonesia selama ratusan tahun dan mengeruk kekayaan pertiwi ini. Dia paham kalau penjajah yang sedang keenakan menikmati hasil jajahannya, sulit mengerti keinginan kaum terjajah untuk merdeka, meski jutaan jiwa telah melayang. Tetapi asal persatuan nasional dan kesadaran berbangsa serta bernegara tetap bersarang di dada seluruh rakyat Indonesia, Bung Karno yakin republik tidak akan tenggelam, tetap kekal dan abadi,'' ulas Rubag.

''Ya, pantas saja Bung Karno agak bingung, sebab saat proklamasi didengungkan, kolonialisme dan imperialisme sedang dalam zaman keemasan. Banyak negeri jajahan yang berusaha merdeka hanya berusia seumur jagung, karena bekas penjajah dan para sekutunya berusaha dengan berbagai cara untuk merobohkannya. Contohnya, republik ini kan? Setelah proklamasi kemerdekaan, South East Asia Command (SEAC) di bawah pimpinan Lord Mountbatten, menugaskan Allied Forces Netherlands East Indies (AFNEI) yang dipimpin Jenderal Inggris, Sir Philip Christison, ke Jakarta, 29 September 1945. Dalihnya melucuti senjata serdadu Jepang. Namun sebenarnya, pihak Sekutu tidak mengakui keberadaan RI, kecuali Hindia Belanda, sehingga dalam AFNEI mendompleng pula pasukan Netherlands Indies Civil Administration alias NICA. Demikian pula di Surabaya mendarat pasukan AFNEI di bawah Brigjen Mallaby yang juga didomplengi NICA, 25 Oktober 1945,'' tambah Jayadi.

''Arek-arek Surabaya yang tahu muslihat Belanda, minta agar AFNEI yang membonceng NICA, menghubungi pihak republik sebagai tuan rumah. Karena tidak dihiraukan, maka meletuslah pertempuran awal antara pasukan Inggris dan rakyat Surabaya, 27-29 Oktober 1945. Mallaby hanya sempat menginjak tanah Surabaya selama enam hari, sebab pada 31 Oktober dia terbunuh. Mayjen. Mansergh, panglima tentara pendudukan Sekutu untuk Jawa Timur memberi ultimatum agar sebelum 10 November, semua masyarakat menyerahkan senjatanya ke pos-pos Inggris dengan mengangkat kedua tangan.

Bila tidak diindahkan, maka Inggris dengan kekuatan darat, laut, dan udaranya akan menggempur Kota Surabaya. Ultimatum yang merendahkan martabat itu, bukan menciutkan nyali masyarakat, justru membakar semangat arek-arek Surabaya. Pertempuran tak seimbang dari sudut persenjataan membuat Surabaya banjir darah. Ketahanan, semangat, dan keberanian rakyat Surabaya untuk mempertahankan kemerdekaan sungguh mengagumkan, sehingga 10 November dinyatakan sebagai Hari Pahlawan. Pertempuran hebat ini pula membuka mata dunia, khususnya serdadu Sekutu bahwa Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia itu benar-benar ada atau eksis, sedangkan Negara Hindia Belanda sudah kedaluwarsa!'' komentar Ardita.

''Benar, dulu para pejuang berperang mengusir penjajah, tidak memikirkan suku, agama, ras, dan golongan, kendati jiwa sebagai taruhannya! Mereka merasa sebangsa, setanah-air, senasib dan sepenanggungan, sama-sama bertekad melenyapkan kolonialisme dan imperialisme dari persada ini. I Gusti Ngurah Rai, pemimpin pasukan Ciung Wanara, sebelum melakukan Puputan Margarana, 20 November 1946, mengirim surat pada Overste (Letkol) Termeullen, pimpinan NICA di Bali. Sebenarnya, itu surat jawaban atas surat ajakan untuk berdamai dan berkompromi, yang secara tegas ditolaknya. Bali, tulis Ngurah Rai, bukan tempat kompromi atau berdamai, karena hal itu urusan pemerintah pusat di Jawa. Kalau Belanda masih bercokol di Bali, lanjutnya, membuat ketenteraman masyarakat Bali terancam, maka Ngurah Rai siap menjadikan Bali sebagai belanga pertumpahan darah. Pernyataannya itu dibuktikan dengan puputan atau perang sampai titik darah penghabisan di kawasan kebun jagung Margarana, Tabanan, di mana Ngurah Rai bersama puluhan anak buahnya gugur sebagai kusuma bangsa,'' tutur Purwacita.

''Bila saja pengorbanan jiwa, harta serta tetesan air mata dalam merebut dan mempertahankan kemerdekaan dipahami seluruh generasi sekarang, tentu gontok-gontokkan dan saling cabik antarsesama anak bangsa seperti terjadi belakangan ini, tidak akan terjadi. Memang upaya untuk menggagalkan kemerdekaan RI sudah dimulai sejak pendaratan NICA mendompleng pasukan AFNEI itu. Kemudian pusat pemerintahan Indonesia diungsikan ke Yogyakarta dan itu pun diserang dua kali aksi polisional Belanda. Setelah upaya diplomasi lewat Persetujuan Linggarjati dan Renville gagal, Konferensi Meja Bundar yang berlangsung di Den Haag selama dua bulan tahun 1949, berhasil memaksa Belanda mengembalikan kedaulatan pada NKRI, karena gagasan Republik Indonesia Serikat dari van Mook gagal. Setelah itu pada tahun 1950-an kembali terjadi pemberontakan bersenjata nyaris di seluruh wilayah Indonesia akibat provokasi dan campur tangan anasir-anasir asing,'' papar Rimanta.

''Ya, kalau membaca 'Subversi sebagai politik luar negeri' tulisan Audrey R. Kahin dan George Mc T. Kahin, juga karya Paul F. Gardner berjudul '50 Tahun Amerika Serikat - Indonesia', peran Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) sejak pemerintahan Eisenhower sangat jelas dipaparkan. Military Intelligency (MI) 6 dari Inggris ikut di belakangnya. Indonesia dijadikan rebutan dalam Perang Dingin antara Blok Barat di bawah Amerika Serikat dan Blok Timur di bawah Uni Soviet. Komitet Gosudarstvenoi Bezopasnosti disingkat KGB, agen rahasia Soviet juga aktif bermain. Puncak dari permainan itu adalah meletusnya pemberontakan G-30-S 1965 yang dikaitkan dengan Partai Komunis Indonesia (PKI). Peter Dale Scott dalam buku 'CIA dan Penggulingan Soekarno' menyebut G-30-S tersebut sebagai kudeta yang sengaja dirancang gagal. Akibat dari peristiwa yang menewaskan enam jenderal dan satu perwira menengah Angkatan Darat, yang kemudian diberi gelar 'Tujuh Pahlawan Revolusi', Soekarno juga dilengserkan karena menolak membubarkan PKI. Suar Suroso menulis 'Bung Karno Korban Perang Dingin','' imbuh Westa.

''Persis! Setelah Perang Dingin usai dengan rontoknya Tembok Berlin 1989 dan bubarnya Uni Soviet tahun 1991, rencana besar untuk membawa seluruh bangsa dan negara ke bawah satu atap dalam tatanan dunia baru agaknya sedang diupayakan. Resistensi terhadap skenario dan desain akbar itu dihadapi dengan hegemoni budaya lewat teknologi sibernetika, terutama internet dan televisi. Masyarakat didoktrin soal gaya hidup, dijadikan masyarakat hiburan dan kerumunan. Terkadang sambil berjingkrak menari dalam konser, karena saling senggol lalu terlibat tawuran massal. Suporter sepak bola juga saling lempar dan baku pentung hingga ke jalan, meski mereka berasal dari satu wilayah seperti Persita dan Persikota. Bentrokan horizontal antara desa, dusun, dan kecamatan dengan berbagai sebab kian marak terjadi akhir-akhir ini. Agaknya Bung Karno di akhirat tidak begitu bergembira menerima gelar Pahlawan Nasional, karena melihat kondisi bangsa yang pernah diproklamasikan kemerdekaannya, seperti lupa sejarah. Persatuan nasional dan kesadaran berbangsa serta bernegara rupanya telah raib dari dada sebagian warga bangsa ini. Mudah-mudahan dugaanku salah!'' kata Karsana

“Mempunyai satu sahabat sejati lebih berharga dari seribu teman yang mementingkan diri sendiri”

“Dalam masa kejayaan, teman-teman mengenal kita. Dalam kesengsaraan, kita mengenal teman-teman kita. Ingatlah kapan terakhir kali anda berada dalam kesulitan. Siapa yang berada di samping anda??. Siapa yang mengasihi anda saat anda merasa tidak dicintai??”

“Semua orang pasti membutuhkan sahabat sejati, namun tidak semua orang berhasil mendapatkannya. Banyak pula orang yang telah menikmati indahnya persahabatan, namun ada juga yang begitu hancur karena dikhianati sahabatnya”

“Proses dari teman menjadi sahabat membutuhkan usaha pemeliharaan dari kesetiaan, tetapi bukan pada saat kita membutuhkan bantuan barulah kita memiliki motivasi mencari perhatian, pertolongan dan pernyataaan kasih dari orang lain, tetapi justru ia berinisiatif memberikan dan mewujudkan apa yang dibutuhkan oleh sahabatnya”

“Seorang sahabat tidak akan menyembunyikan kesalahan untuk menghindari perselisihan, justru karena kasihnya ia memberanikan diri menegur apa adanya”

“Sahabat tidak pernah membungkus pukulan dengan ciuman, tetapi menyatakan apa yang amat menyakitkan dengan tujuan sahabatnya mau berubah”

“Persahabatan diwarnai dengan berbagai pengalaman suka dan duka, dihibur-disakiti, diperhatikan-dikecewakan, didengar-diabaikan, dibantu-ditolak, namun semua ini tidak pernah sengaja dilakukan dengan tujuan kebencian”

“Persahabatan tidak terjalin secara otomatis tetapi membutuhkan proses yang panjang seperti besi menajamkan besi, demikianlah sahabat menajamkan sahabatnya”

Sifat lembut hati merupakan salah satu akhlak mulia dari Nabi

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 5 Nov 2012 01:53:00 -0800

Sebab turunnya ayat ke 159 surat Ali Imran adalah seusai terjadi Perang Uhud, dimana pasukan musyrik Quraisy yang memutar jalan berhasil memukul pasukan panah Islam yang turun dari bukit Uhud untuk mengambil harta “ghanimah” (rampasan perang).

Pasukan Islam mengira bahwa pasukan Quraisy telah kalah dan peperangan telah benar-benar usai. Akibat kekeliruan ini banyak sahabat yang gugur, termasuk Hamzah paman Nabi SAW.

Melihat kekeliruan yang dilakukan para sahabat, tidak membuat Nabi SAW marah dan kesal. Karena Allah SWT telah melembutkan hatinya sebagaimana dengan firman-Nya: “Maka disebabkan rahmat dari Allah-lah kamu berlaku lemah lembut terhadap mereka. Sekiranya kamu bersikap keras lagi berhati kasar, tentulah mereka menjauhkan diri dari sekelilingmu.. ” (QS. Ali Imran: 159).

Sifat lembut hati merupakan salah satu akhlak mulia dari Nabi S AW seperti yang dikatakan Abdullah bin Umar: “Sesungguhnya, saya menemukan sifat Rasulullah SAW dalam kitab-kitab terdahulu itu demikian : Sesungguhnya tutur katanya tidak kasar, hatinya tidak keras, tidak suka berteriak-teriak dipasar-pasar, dan tidak suka membalas kejahatan orang dengan kejahatan lagi, namun dia memaafkan dan mengampuninya. ” (Tafsir Ibnu Katsir II, hl.608)

Pangkal Kesabaran

Kelembutan hati Nabi SAW tidak hanya ditujukan kepada para sahabat yang telah paham dengan aturan agama, namun kepada orang awam yang belum memahami aturan agama pun beliau bersikap lembut dan santun.

Suatu hari ketika beberapa sahabat sedang khusyuk mendengarkan nasihat Nabi SAW di masjid Nabawi, tiba-tiba seorang Arab Badui masuk masjid dan tanpa basa-basi dia langsung buang air kecil di salah satu pojok masjid. Para sahabat yang melihatnya terkejut dan segera berdiri untuk memukul orang itu dan mengusirnya.

Melihat hal ini Nabi SAW segera mencegah tindakan para sahabat. Para sahabat pun lalu membiarkan Arab Badui tadi menuntaskan buang hajatnya. Setelah benar-benar selesai, Nabi SAW memerintahkan seorang sahabat mengambil seember air untuk mengguyur tempat Arab Badui buang hajatnya.

Tanpa rasa marah dan kesal Nabi SAW menghampiri orang itu dan mengatakan: “Sesungguhnya masjid itu tidak layak dikencingi dan dikotori. Sesungguhnya masjid itu tempat untuk shalat, berdzikir kepada Allah dan membaca Al-Qur’an” (HR. Muslim).

Nabi SAW memahami ketidak-tahuan si Arab Badui tersebut, sehingga kelembutan hati beliau bisa mengalahkan amarah beliau. Kalau hal itu terjadi di saat sekarang, mungkin si Arab Badui itu telah babak belur di “Vermak” oleh para jamaah masjid.

Sifat lembut hati, santun, ramah dan tidak cepat marah tidak hanya akan membuat manusia menaruh simpati kepada kita, tetapi Allah SWT-pun mencintainya. “Sesungguhnya Allah itu Maha Lembut dan Mencintai kelembutan ” (HR.Muslim).

Dengan modal kelembutan hati, seorang da’i pasti dengan mudah menarik simpati orang, seorang suami pasti disayang oleh keluarga dan jika seorang pemimpin pasti dicintai rakyatnya.

Rasa sakinah pun akan hadir dalam keluarga ketika kelembutan dan sikap santun menjadi perhiasannya. Nabi SAW bersabda: “Apabila Allah Azza wa Jalla menghendaki kebaikan suatu keluarga, Allah akan memasukkan kelembutan atas mereka ” (HR. Ahmad).
Kesaksian Sahabat

Dan ini telah dicontohkan oleh Nabi SAW dengan sikap beliau yang lembut, tidak pernah marah kepada pembantu rumah tangganya. Anas bin Malik, sebagaimana diriwayatkan Imam Mulim, Anas bin Malik berkata: “Aku menjadi pembantu Rasulullah selama sepuluh tahun. Belum pemah beliau berkata kasar kepadaku. Dan selama sepuluh tahun itu belum pernah beliau berkata kepadaku: ‘Mengapa kamu melakukan ini?’ Dan belum pernah beliau berkata: ‘Mengapa kau tidak lakukan sesuatu sepeninggalku?’ “.

Sepuluh tahun bukanlah sebentar dan selama itu Anas bin Malik belum pernah sekalipun dimarahi Nabi SAW. Coba bandingkan dengan keadaan sekarang, pembantu dianggap sebagai orang kecil yang bisa diperlakukan semena-mena oleh sang majikan, bahkan sudah tidak “dimanusiakan” lagi.

Sudah menjadi berita sebari-hari tentang perlakuan kasar majikan terhadap PRT (pembantu rumah tangga) mulai dari dipukuli sampai kehilangan nyawa akibat disiksa oleh majikan.

Inilah akibat tidak adanya kelembutan hati di dalam diri seseorang, sehingga rasa kesal, rasa marah mudah terlampiaskan, tidak terkontrol lagi dan di saat seperti itulah syetan dengan mudah memprovokasi untuk melakukan perbuatan yang tidak manusiawi.

Sikap lembut hati disertai rasa empati Nabi SAW kepada pembantunya tersirat pula dalam doa beliau, ketika Ibu Anas bin Malik memohon agar Nabi SAW mau mendoakan anaknya. Doa Nabi SAW : “Ya Allah, berilah dia harta dan anak yang banyak. Dan berkatilah atas apa yang Engkau beri “ (HR.Bukhari).

Marilah mulai dari sekarang kita semai benih kelembutan hati dalam diri kita. Cobalah untuk mengendalikan diri kita sendiri dari sikap keras hati, gampang kesal atau marah dan berlaku kasar terhadap orang lain. Sikap santun dan lembut hati Nabi SAW perlu kita teladani, agar semua urusan kita menjadi mudah, indah dan membawa berkah di dunia dan akhirat.

Alhamdulillah puji syukur ke khadirot Alloh Subhanahu Wata'ala,Karenanya kita bisa hidup,Semua yang berjalan di alam pana ini hanyalah kehendaknya.

Dalam blog ini saya ingin berbagi pengetahuan dan pengalaman hidup dengan semua para pengunjug blog, bertukar pikiran dengan harapan bisa menambah saudara, pengalaman dan pengetahuan tentang kehidupan di Alam pana ini.

Untuk sampai pada tingkat cinta tertinggi kepada Alloh, seseorang harus menempuh Syariat, Mengikuti Thariqat, dan menemukan hakikat, Syariat, Thariqat dan hakikat akan mengantar kita meraih Ma;rifat.

Siapa yang ingin Ma'ripat dia harus belajar ilmu hakikat, Yaitu mengetahui apa sesungguhnya dibalik yang terlihat.

Ketiga jalan tersebut akan mengantar kita kepada tingkat ma'ripat, Manakala kita sudah bisa Ma'ripat, disitulah Alloh membuka hijab dan kita bisa tahu Rahasia di balik rahasia.

Tidaklah heran bila ada orang-orang tertentu yang memiliki keistimewaan dan bisa merasakan keajaiban-keajaiban yang tidak bisa dilogikakan oleh akal pikiran.

Perjalanan Ruhani Sesungguhnya adalah perjalanan memasuki Syurga dunia, Ibnu Taemiyah berkata:" Siapa yang tidak masuk ke Syurga Dunia, Maka dia tidak akan bisa masuk sYurga Akhirat" Pada waktunya nanti pembaca akan merasakan keindahan hidup dan mengalami hal-hal yang membahagiakan, bahkan tidak mustahil akan menikmati hal-hal yang menakjubkan!

Kami menggoyangkan langit, menggemparkan darat

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 1 Nov 2012 02:55:00 -0700

"Kami menggoyangkan langit, menggemparkan darat, dan menggelorakan samudera agar tidak jadi bangsa yang hidup hanya dari 2,5 sen sehari. Bangsa yang kerja keras, bukan bangsa tempe, bukan bangsa kuli. Bangsa yang rela menderita demi pembelian cita-cita."

Demikian pidato Presiden Soekarno yang menegaskan bangsa Indonesia bukanlah bangsa yang lembek seperti tempe. Pada masa revolusi kata 'tempe' memang kerap diidentikan dengan hal-hal negatif seperti cengeng, mudah menyerah atau lembek. Maka sindiran seperti 'mental tempe', 'pasukan tempe' atau 'pemuda kelas tempe' dipakai untuk meledek mereka yang dianggap lemah.

Tempe juga diidentikan dengan makanan murah dan merakyat. Tempe merupakan makanan asli Indonesia yang diperkirakan sudah ada sejak abad ke-16.

Walau murah dan dipandang sebelah mata, adalah tempe yang menyelamatkan jutaan rakyat Indonesia dari penyakit kurang gizi dan busung lapar tahun 1945-hingga akhir 1960an. Kalau tidak ada tempe, saat ekonomi Indonesia benar-benar terpuruk, entah berapa juta anak yang terlahir kurang gizi. Sebelumnya, tempe juga menyelamatkan tahanan perang dunia II yang ditawan Jepang. Cukup besar jasa makanan yang terbuat dari fermentasi kedelai ini.

Walau menghina tempe, Presiden Soekarno nyatanya sangat menggemari tempe. Ada dua makanan yang tak pernah absen dari meja makan Istana. Gulai daun singkong dan tempe goreng. Karena sederhana, Soekarno tak pernah menawarkan makanan ini pada tamu-tamu negara. Tapi gulai daun singkong dan tempe goreng adalah dua makanan yang paling disukai Soekarno.

Kini pedagang tempe dan tahu menjerit karena harga kedelai semakin naik. Usaha mereka pun terancam gulung tikar karena mahalnya bahan baku tempe.

Rupanya jadi Bangsa Tempe pun Indonesia masih sulit.

Peristiwa Rengasdengklok tak bisa dilepaskan dari sejarah perjalanan bangsa

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 1 Nov 2012 02:53:00 -0700

Peristiwa Rengasdengklok tak bisa dilepaskan dari sejarah perjalanan bangsa ini. Peristiwa 'penculikan' terhadap dua proklamator itu menjadi salah satu momen penting jelang proklamasi kemerdekaan Indonesia pada 17 Agustus 1945.

Setelah Jepang menyerah kepada sekutu, keinginan untuk segera memproklamasikan kemerdekaan semakin menggelora di bangsa Indonesia. Namun, saat itu terdapat perbedaan pendapat yang tajam antara golongan muda dengan golongan tua soal pelaksanaan proklamasi.

Kaum tua yang dimotori Bung Karno dan Hatta saat itu lebih kepada perhitungan politiknya. Mereka berpandangan untuk memproklamasikan kemerdekaan diperlukan revolusi yang terorganisir dengan baik. Karenanya, kerjasama dengan Jepang masih diperlukan agar tidak terjadi pertumpahan darah.

Soekarno dan Hatta kemudian bermaksud membahas pelaksanaan proklamasi dalam rapat Panitia Persiapan Kemerdekaan Indonesia (PPKI). Sebab, dengan demikian pelaksanaan proklamasi tidak akan menyimpang dari ketentuan Jepang.

Hal itu sontak mendapat penolakan keras dari golongan muda, yang saat itu dimotori Chaerul Saleh, Sukarni, dan Wikana. Mereka menilai PPKI adalah buatan Jepang, sementara mereka menginginkan proklamasi kemerdekaan Indonesia tanpa ada embel-embel negara Sakura itu.

Pertemuan antara golongan muda dengan golongan tua kemudian digelar di kediaman Bung Karno, Jl Pegangsaan Timur No 56, Jakarta, pada Rabu, 15 Agustus 1945, sekitar pukul 22.00 WIB. Saat itu, terjadi perdebatan 'panas' antara golongan muda dengan Bung Karno mengenai proklamasi kemerdekaan Indonesia.

Perdebatan panas tersebut dimuat di dalam buku "Lahirnya Republik Indonesia." Jakarta: Kinta. 1978, karya Ahmad Soebardjo (1978) dan "Samudera Merah Putih 19 September 1945." Jilid 1. Jakarta: Pustaka Jaya. 1984, karya Lasmidjah Hardi.

Dalam perdebatan itu, golongan muda tetap bersikeras pelaksanaan proklamasi kemerdekaan harus segera dilakukan, jika perlu saat itu juga. Mereka bahkan mengaku siap melawan tentara Jepang jika terjadi pertumpahan darah. Namun, Bung Karno saat itu berpandangan kekuatan para pejuang belum cukup untuk melawan kekuatan bersenjata tentara Jepang.

Setelah tak juga mendapatkan titik temu, Bung Karno akhirnya berunding kepada sejumlah tokoh dari golongan tua, di antaranya Mohammad Hatta, Soebardjo, Iwa Kusumasomantri, Djojopranoto, dan Sudiro. Namun, hasil perundingan itu ternyata tak sesuai dengan keinginan golongan muda.

Saat itu, Hatta mengatakan, hasil keputusan yang didapat tidak menyetujui keinginan golongan muda. Sebab dinilai kurang perhitungan dan dapat menimbulkan banyak korban jiwa. Tak terima dengan keputusan itu, golongan muda kemudian 'menculik' Bung Karno dan Bung Hatta, pada Kamis 16 Agustus 1945 sekitar pukul 04.00 WIB.

Meski kecewa dan marah atas 'penculikan' itu, Bung Karno dan Bung Hatta tetap mengikuti keinginan para pemuda untuk menghindari adanya keributan. Saat itu, Bung Karno mengikutsertakan sang istri, Fatmawati dan anaknya, Guntut, yang masih balita.

Keduanya kemudian dibawa ke sebuah rumah milik salah seorang pimpinan PETA, Djiaw Kie Siong, di sebuah kota kecil di dekat karawang yakni Rengasdengklok. Letak Rengasdengklok yang terpencil menjadi salah satu alasan para pemuda memilih tempat itu agar mudah mendeteksi pergerakan tentara Jepang jika menuju tempat itu.

Meski di lokasi itu para pemuda mendesak keduanya untuk segera memproklamasikan kemerdekaan Indonesia, dua proklamator itu tak juga tunduk pada keinginan para pemuda itu.

Kemudian, pada siang harinya, perdebatan panas terjadi antara Bung Karno dengan para pemuda. Bung Karno yang terus ditekan agar segera memproklamasikan kemerdekaan berkukuh akan melakukan hal itu pada 17 Agustus 1945.

Sejumlah alasan disampaikan oleh Bung Karno soal pemilihan 17 Agustus 1945. Sementara itu, kesepakatan terjadi di Jakarta antara golongan tua yang diwakili Ahmad Soebardjo dengan golongan muda yang diwakili Wikana. Saat itu keduanya sepakat proklamasi kemerdekaan akan dilaksanakan di Jakarta.

Berbekal kesepakatan itu, Bung Karno dan Bung Hatta kemudian dijemput Ahmad Soebardjo untuk kembali ke Jakarta. Saat itu, Ahmad Soebardjo menjanjikan kepada para pemuda yang berada di Rengasdengklok bahwa proklamasi kemerdekaan Indonesia akan dilaksanakan pada 17 Agustus 1945 p[aling lambat pukul 12.00 WIB.

Atas jaminan itu, kedua proklamator itu kemudian diizinkan kembali ke Jakarta. Singkat cerita, proklamasi kemerdekaan Indonesia akhirnya diproklamirkan Bung Karno dengan didampingi Hatta pada Jumat 17 Agustus 1945.

Motivasi adalah pohon yang Anda siram dengan kedisiplinan diri

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 11:48:00 -0700

Menjadi sukses adalah impian semua orang. Tentunya untuk itu diperlukan motivasi yang kuat untuk mengatasi tantangan untuk mencapai apa yang Anda inginkan. Motivasi ini harus ditumbuhkan dari dalam diri sendiri. Anda bisa saja membaca ratusan buku atau pergi ke puluhan seminar untuk memperoleh suntikan motivasi, namun hal yang sering terjadi adalah kenaikan emosi sesaat untuk berubah. Barangkali ini bertahan satu atau dua minggu dan setelah itu Anda merasa semuanya kembali menjadi biasa-biasa saja seperti kondisi yang lama. Pernahkah merasa begitu?

“Motivasi adalah pohon yang Anda siram dengan kedisiplinan diri”

Bagaimana caranya supaya Anda tetap termotivasi untuk bekerja mencapai tujuan yang diinginkan? Intinya motivasi adalah seni berkomunikasi dengan diri sendiri. Komunikasi ini melibatkan perasaan yang Anda rasakan melalui emosi yang muncul.

Komunikasi juga merupakan inti dari percakapan coaching dimana seorang coach perlu mampu mendengarkan, bertanya, dan menggali informasi dari kliennya dengan tujuan agar ide-ide baru muncul yang berguna bagi kemajuan si klien tersebut,

Lantas apa bedanya antara perasaan dan emosi?

Contohnya begini, jika Anda merasa bersalah maka emosi yang muncul bisa ketakutan dihakimi, ingin melarikan diri, dsb. Jika Anda merasa bahagia, emosinya bisa berupa keceriaan, kegembiraan, keinginan berbagi, dsb. Emosi timbul sebagai akibat dari perasaan yang terjadi didalam diri.

Jadi sebetulnya mudah untuk hidup termotivasi. Kuncinya adalah rasakan hal-hal yang membahagiakan dan bayangkan kesuksesan yang akan Anda raih. Saya jamin Anda akan termotivasi untuk bekerja.

Selain itu ada beberapa tips yang ingin saya berikan agar Anda bisa termotivasi kapanpun dan dimanapun:

1. Selalu konsisten

Kemudahan timbul dari kebiasaan. Motivasi pun sama. Ia memerlukan kedisiplinan sehingga Anda terbiasa hidup dengan motivasi. Ada ungkapan bagus yang mengatakan, “Sesuatu yang Anda ulangi tiap hari selama 21 hari akan menjadi kebiasaan”. Saya anjurkan Anda untuk mempraktekkannya. Mulai dengan hal yang sederhana seperti tersenyum dihadapan cermin, mengatakan “Yes” sebelum bekerja, dan banyak lagi.

2. Bertanggung jawab

Anda perlu seseorang yang bersedia mengingatkan Anda untuk tetap berada di tujuan. Ia bertugas memberikan dukungan dan menjadi mitra bertukar pikiran bagi ide dan gagasan yang Anda punya. Dari sini Anda akan merasa bertanggung jawab untuk memberikan yang terbaik baginya. Proses mencapai tujuan menjadi lebih mudah dengan hadirnya seseorang yang menjadi cermin diri Anda.

3. Kelilingi diri Anda dengan orang-orang yang bervisi sama

Kalau Anda mau menurunkan berat badan, pastikan Anda bersama teman-teman yang mempunyai tujuan sama. Kalau Anda ingin membangun bisnis, bertemanlah dengan orang-orang yang sudah berkecimpung di dunia bisnis atau mereka yang mau memulai bisnis. Anda bisa memperoleh energi dan motivasi dari mereka. Akan sangat mudah untuk termotivasi ketika Anda memperoleh support. Apa yang Anda rasakan sebagai rintangan ketika bekerja sendiri bisa teratasi dengan bantuan dan dukungan teman-teman yang bervisi sama.

4. Fokus pada proses, bukan tujuan

Ini yang sangat penting. Seringkali Anda turun mental ketika dihadapkan pada kesulitan mencapai tujuan. Fokuslah pada proses. Setiap proses memerlukan waktu. Entah cepat, entah lambat. Tujuan Anda sudah jelas, namun perjalanan menuju kesana bisa berliku dan naik turun. Dengan fokus pada proses Anda terhindar dari beban mental karena sekarang Anda memegang kendali atas proses itu sendiri, bukan dikendalikan oleh target untuk mencapai tujuan.

Sekarang Anda lebih tahu bahwa motivasi merupakan kunci untuk meraih sukses. Yang Anda perlukan sekarang adalah kemauan kuat untuk menerapkannya di kehidupan sehari-hari. Seperti apa kata pepatah “Ada kemauan ada jalan”. Selamat mengerjakan dan jangan lupa hargai diri Anda disetiap momen keberhasilan sekecil apapun itu.
