INSPIRASI

Suatu hari seorang lelaki pemarah mendamprat kakeknya dengan kata2 kasar.

Sang Kakek mendengarkannya dengan sabar, tenang, tidak berkata sepatah pun.

Akhirnya lelaki itu berhenti memaki.

Setelah itu,Kakek bertanya kepadanya,
"Jika seseorang memberimu sesuatu tapi kamu tidak menerimanya, lalu menjadi milik siapakah pemberian itu ?”

“Tentu saja menjadi milik si pemberi.” Jawab lelaki itu.

”Begitu pula dengan kata2 kasarmu,” timpal Kakek.l
”Aku tidak mau menerimanya, jadi itu milikmu. Kamu harus menyimpannya sendiri. Aku mengkhawatirkan kalau nanti kamu harus menanggung akibatnya, karena kata2 kasar hanya akan membuahkan penderitaan.
Sama seperti orang yamg ingin mengotori langit dengan meludahinya, ludahnya hanya akan jatuh mengotori wajahnya sendiri.”

Maka
Bila tak mungkin memberi jangan mengambil .
Bila terlalu sulit mengasihi jangan membenci .
Bila tak bisa menghiburl orang lain, jangan kau membuatnya sedih .
Bila tak bisa memuji, jangan menghujat.
Bila tak bisa menghargai, jangan menghina .
Bila tak suka bersahabat, jangan bermusuhan .
Bunga yang tak akan pernah layu dimuka bumi ini adalah "kebajikan". 

RELIGIUS" ATAU "SPIRITUAL

���"RELIGIUS" ATAU "SPIRITUAL"

SEKEDAR MENGINGATKAN KEMBALI !!!

Fenomena yang terjadi saat ini sangat memprihatinkan. Kita dikenal sebagai bangsa yang religius, banyak orang taat beragama, tempat ibadah ada dimana-mana. Tapi ternyata kejahatan terus terjadi, korupsi dan fitnah merajalela.

Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kita tidak mampu membawa perbedaan antara yang beragama dengan yang tidak. Kita masih terpaku pada “religius”, BUKAN “spiritual” !!!

Menurut definisi awam, orang religius adalah orang yang agamis, rajin ibadah, terkadang dari penampilannya terlihat (sengaja diperlihatkan), menampilkan simbol-simbol agama.

Orang spiritual adalah orang yang baik, bukan hanya dalam menjalankan perintah agama saja, atau di tempat ibadah saja, tapi ia baik DIMANAPUN ia berada.

Ada 5 PERBEDAAN antara religius dengan spiritual :

1. Orang religius adalah orang yang percaya bahwa Tuhan itu ada. Sedangkan orang spiritual adalah orang yang percaya bahwa Tuhan itu hadir. Orang melakukan perbuatan tidak baik karena ia berpikir Tuhan hanya ada, tapi tidak hadir. Sedangkan orang spiritual berpikir bahwa Tuhan ada di manapun dia berada.

2. Orang religius adalah orang yang merasa paling suci dan paling benar. Orang spiritual adalah orang yang melihat semua orang adalah setara, semua punya kelebihan dan kekurangan.

3. Orang religius adalah orang yang mudah melihat perbedaan, dan sensitif dengan perbedaan. Orang spiritual adalah orang yang mudah melihat persamaan, mau menerima perbedaan, mau mendengarkan orang lain.

4. Orang religius adalah orang yang hanya mementingkan simbol-simbol agama dan ritual agama saja. Orang spiritual adalah orang yang menyembunyikan ibadahnya dari orang lain, dan mempraktekkan keagamaan nya dimanapun dan kapanpun.

5. Orang religius adalah orang yang baik dalam urusan ibadah saja. Orang spiritual adalah orang yang baik dalam semua urusan, karena menganggap semua urusan adalah ibadah.

Tanpa spiritual, ibadah yang dilakukan hanya menjadi ritual semata. Ritual agama diperlukan, tapi harus dilakukan dengan kesadaran dan cinta kepada Tuhan.

Religius adalah cara untuk meraih spiritual. Kita bisa menjadi spiritual tanpa melakukan hal-hal yang religius. Tapi hal itu tidaklah lengkap, karena beragama tanpa ibadah tidaklah lengkap.

Untuk menjadi orang yang spiritual kita harus ingat dengan esensi dan hakekat kita ada di dunia ini, dan mencari makna dari setiap yang kita lakukan.

6. Orang religius exclusive. Orang spiritual membumi.

Mari menjadi orang yang spiritual !!! ���

Kiranya Tuhan Senantiasa memberkati .

7 Habits You Should Pick Up if You Want to Be Seen as a Leader

7 Habits You Should Pick Up if You Want to Be Seen as a Leader


Powerful people don’t become powerful by chance. They aren’t born leaders, they don’t get randomly selected, and they aren’t handed power on a silver platter. Instead, power comes to them as a result of their behaviors, their actions, and their habits. Because of this, it’s possible for anyone to rise to a position of power, whether that’s in the formal political sense or just in the context of your own office—all it takes is the right combination of habits, and the right mentality.
If you’re seeking more power or influence in your own life, or you just want to model your lifestyle on the powerful leaders that came before you, take inspiration from these seven habits:

1. They Never Speak Too Much

Abraham Lincoln was once quoted as saying that it’s “better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” Certainly, some of the most powerful people in the world have established their reputation by speaking clearly, eloquently, and often, but even in those cases, you’ll find that the speaker always says as little as possible. The effect is two-fold; first, in accordance with Abe Lincoln’s wise quote, the less you say, the less you will betray about yourself. Quiet people are often seen as more intelligent and influential simply because they have fewer opportunities to say things they regret. Second, the more concisely you speak, the more authoritative you will appear. Strive for conversational minimalism.

2. They’re Flexible

Rather than coming up with an idea or strategy and adhering to it rigidly, powerful people tend to be adaptable. This doesn’t mean always compromising when you encounter opposition to your idea, but it does mean being willing to find an alternative way around a given obstacle; perhaps if your boss can’t be persuaded, you can seek approval elsewhere within the company. The world is unpredictable and full of unexpected challenges, so the most adaptable people tend to be the ones who solve the most problems, and are therefore seen as the most powerful.

3. They Don’t Argue

Arguments can be functional, though in most cases, they waste energy that could better be spent proving your case through an action. If you voice your opinion only to be met with dissent, don’t waste time further arguing your points or trying to convince someone who has in all likelihood already made up their mind. Instead, get to work on your plan and actively demonstrate that your side of the argument is the correct one. It’s easy to argue against an idea, but it’s nearly impossible to argue against results. Powerful people aren’t worried about winning through an argument; they simply want the best possible results, and won’t waste time bickering to get there.

4. They Stay Active in the Community

This works on multiple levels; powerful people engage with their families, engage with their colleagues, and engage with their friends and community members. They never isolate themselves or try to gain power alone. In isolation, it’s easy to develop problems of perspective, and it’s hard to stay tuned to what’s going on around you. Powerful people are appreciated because they’re socially involved with the people around them, and they are respected because they stay up to date. You can’t do either of these things if you remove yourself from your people.

5. They Think Several Moves Ahead

In chess, as in life, the people who plan furthest ahead tend to come out on top. Powerful people tend to forgo rewards of the moment for greater rewards of the future, and are willing to make temporary sacrifices if that’s what it takes to achieve victory.
For example, most successful entrepreneurs first must go through a period of fiscal uncertainty and psychologically demanding work—a sacrifice that most people simply aren’t willing to make. They know that they’ll face several months of risk and hardship, but if they plan carefully and work hard, eventually the payouts are enormous.

6. They Time Things Carefully

In many cases, what you do doesn’t matter nearly as much as when you do it. Think about a simple scenario in which you must break some bad news to your boss. Is it better to do it when your boss is flustered and annoyed, between meetings? Or better to do it during a period of calm, when he or she is in a relatively good mood? Think carefully before committing to any action, whether it’s as fleeting as a social greeting or as monumental as the launch of your company’s debut product.

7. They Distinguish Themselves

Powerful leaders don’t emerge unless they somehow distinguish themselves from the group in some way. If you spend your life going along with the flow, following the actions of those around you, and adhering to societal norms, it’s going to be virtually impossible for you to develop a powerful, influencing personality. Instead, make the effort to work harder than others, or speak louder than others, or think differently from others. It’s the only way to stand out.

BUSINESS PARTNER

One day, a very wealthy man was walking on the road. Along the way, he saw a beggar on the sidewalk.

The rich man looks kindly on the beggar and asked, "How did you become a beggar?

The beggar said, "Sir, I've been applying for a job for a year now but haven't found any. You look like a rich man. Sir, if you'll give me a job, I'll stop begging."

The rich man smiled and said, "I want to help you. But I won't give you a job. I'll do something better. I want you to be my business partner. Let's start a business together."

The beggar blinked hard. He didn't understand what the older man was saying. "What do you mean, Sir?"

"I own a rice plantation. You could sell my rice in the market. I'll provide you the sacks of rice. I'll pay the rent for the market stall.. All you'll have to do is sell my rice. And at the end of the month, as Business Partners, we'll share in the profits."

Tears of joy rolled down his cheeks.
"Oh Sir," he said, "you're a gift from Heaven. You're the answer to my prayers. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

He then paused and said, Sir, how will we divide the profits ? Do I keep 10% and you get the 90%? Do I keep 5% and you get the 95%? I'll be happy with any arrangement."

The rich man shook his head and chuckled. "No, I want you to give me the 10%. And you keep the 90%."

For a moment, the beggar couldn't speak. When he tried to speak, it was gibberish. Uh, gee, uh, wow, I mean, huh? He couldn't believe his ears. The deal was too preposterous.

The rich man laughed more loudly. He explained, "I don't need the money, my friend. I'm already wealthy beyond what you can ever imagine. I want you to give me 10% of your profits so you grow in gratitude "

The beggar knelt down before his benefactor and said, "Yes Sir, I will do as you say. Even now, I'm so grateful for what you've done for me!"

And so that was what happened. He forgets where the blessings came from. Each day, the beggar now dressed a little bit better operated a store selling rice in the market. He worked very hard. He woke up early in the morning and slept late at night. And sales were brisk, also because the rice was of good quality. And after 30 days, the profits were astounding.

At the end of the month, as the ex-beggar was counting the money, and liking very much the feeling of money in his hands, an idea grew in his mind. He told himself, Gee, why should I give 10% to my Business Partner? I didn't see him the whole month! I was the one who was working day and night for this business. I did all this work! I deserve the 100% profits!

A few minutes later, the rich man was knocking on the door to collect his 10% of the profits. The ex-beggar opened the door and said, "You don't deserve the 10%. I worked hard for this. I deserve all of it!" And he slammed the door.

If you were his Business Partner, how would you feel?

This is exactly what happens to us, God is Our Business Partner. God gave us life-every single moment, every single breath, every single second. God gave us talents-ability to talk, to create, to earn money. God gave us a body-eyes, ears, mouth, hands, feet, heart. God gave us mind- imagination, emotions, reasoning, language.

Sharing 10% with him is an expression of gratitude and pure love...not that He needs it.  He is rich beyond imagination.   But we seem to forget to do our bit out of  immense gratitude, joy &  love...
