Instill always our good prejudices to Allah
Sustenance is always present when the heart is always cool and when there is no more bad prejudice against God
Having a good attitude is an attitude and perspective that causes someone to see something positively and is equipped with a clean heart and righteous actions. Have a good attitude towards the one who has created us and the contents of this world, namely Allah, the almighty God. If you are always kind to what Allah has determined. This is related to the level of strong belief that humans have in their God so that they remain hopeful, patient, optimistic and do not despair.
*Meanwhile, the attitude of prejudice c****an be broadly divided into three types, namely being prejudiced towards God, to oneself, and to fellow human beings. Have a good opinion of Allah as the Lord of the worlds, as the Creator, Sustainer, who has all the greatness, and there is not a single flaw.***
***Good for yourself is being kind to yourself, for example being persistent, never giving up, and being patient. Lastly, towards others is to always think positively towards others.***
A person who is always kind to Allah generally never relies on his deeds, knowledge, and privileges. Because he believes everything he has is a gift from God.
In addition, humans who always have a good attitude towards God are humans who always have hope.
In the 8th grade Islamic education subject module (in 2019) it is written, for people who are kind to God, they will give birth to individuals who have obedient personalities. This obedience is manifested in the form of a strong belief in worshiping Allah
Obedience in worship will give birth to religious attitudes in a person, such as sincerity, patience, tawadu, honesty, trustworthiness, kanaah, and so on. These attitudes are called personal piety.
As humans, we often complain when we face a trial or a test from Allah SWT. In fact, not infrequently we spill our complaints by having bad thoughts on God. For example; by saying, "Why is this trial or test too hard, O Allah." In fact, Allah never gives trials beyond our capabilities.
As creatures created by Allah in a perfect form, we should always be obligated to always have a good attitude no matter what the circumstances. By always thinking well of Allah, it will certainly bring many graces and blessings in life.
Having good faith in God is a must
***In the Hadith the prophet said, "Pray to Allah in a state of certainty that it will be answered, and know that Allah does not answer prayers from a negligent heart.***
***In another Hadith, Allah says, 'I am according to my servant's prejudice against me. If prejudice is good, then good for him. And if the prejudice is bad, then it is bad for him***
It's good to think that God will determine our fate later. Therefore, as a human being, do not ever despair of mercy and compassion. Return to Allah no matter how big the sin you have committed.
However, being kind to Allah in all conditions and circumstances must also be accompanied by good deeds and keeping all of Allah's laws.
If you are kind to Allah but underestimate the sinful acts, then what we do will be of no use.
The benefits of having good thoughts of God
*Believe that Allah will forgive his repentant servant, answer the prayer of the supplicant servant, and provide sustenance for those who ask for sufficiency*
*Someone who applies a good attitude will be sincere or sincere in doing so that his life becomes peaceful and peaceful.*
*A kind attitude will make the heart clean from envy and other liver diseases.*
*Gratitude and patience will grow strongly in the souls of people who always have good prejudices.*
*Will not experience inner conflict or doubt if receiving any help or treatment from others*
*People who are prejudiced will be busy improving themselves and encourage them to continue to introspect or introspect.*
*People who are prejudiced towards God and in their daily lives will always be optimistic in trying to achieve their goals.*
Not always what you think is good turns out to be bad for you and what you think is bad turns out to be good for you sincerely. Believe and think well of God. Because he knows what's best for us

"You can't be angry just because you can't control the world the way you want to." Cho kyuhyun - Super Junior
Don't feel the most hurt, try to introspect yourself first
***Never feel the most hurt, maybe you are the cause.***
***Never feel so right, maybe you are wrong.***
***Never feel let down, maybe you are exaggerating.***
***Never feel hurt the most, while you can be a wound for others***
***Before blaming others, It's good to introspect first.***
Have you ever had the nature of feeling always hurt, a friend or coworker who has a nature that we must always guard against his feelings. When he talks as if we have to try to justify for fear of our attitude hurting him. So we have to hold our own feelings. Even though our hearts are very excited to face it. We are afraid that we will hurt him but we ourselves have been very hurt by facing it. It's really annoying and we go awry in this situation.
Complicated situations make a person become excessive in attitude and even tend to delegate responsibility to others. Assuming later we feel the most right, feeling as if we are arrogant, if later we are wrong we will blame, etc. These negative thoughts arise in our surroundings.
In fact, we have been given the opportunity by others. Rest assured that all these thoughts keep us from progressing. Don't always blame the situation, don't feel like we've been wronged, don't feel like what happened because there are people who don't like us, some are jealous of us, some are not happy with our success, etc. Keep this thought, if we want to live in peace, don't overreact to something
***The characteristics of the temperament that I mentioned above are referred to as*** ***playing victim or victim syndrome******, i.e. People with victim mentality often experience trauma or difficult times, but have not yet developed a healthier way to deal with them. As a result, they develop a negative outlook on life, in which they feel they have no control over what happens to them.***
Feeling the Most Hurt and Suffer
Have we ever felt in a situation as if trials, tests, calamities kept coming over us? It's as if life is so hard. Or maybe from us or complaints from other people who have experienced some of the following conditions.
Always complaining in every condition, always making sad drama in every speech and we who hear it feel bad. Always blaming others for what happened to us and not realizing it all came from us
Then finally, we are only able to convey our grief to God with prayer and hope. And in a corner, it is destiny that brings us to seek God. Complaining to God, etc. God should always be in every step we take so that we are more calm and patient.
In addition, it is not the severity of the test that makes us weak, but the lightness of our relationship with Allah that causes us to seem unable to endure it. Don't blame the disappointment, pain from the past to affect other people. Don't blame God for what you keep in your heart but make sure God has prepared the best according to what you have prepared in your heart
Therefore, don't ever feel that you are here the most hurt, the most disappointed because you can't activate everything. Assure that Allah will not disappoint you let alone blame you because what we can do or not we must accept sincerely.
If Allah only created the sky for the earth, then how could Allah have created you without self-support. Allah has a better plan for your life than what you have planned.
Recognize the nature of people who like playing victims or people who feel the most hurt
One of the most annoying types of people are people who often play victim. They are good at acting. When they make a mistake, they will twist the facts and act as if they are victims.
That way they will gain the sympathy of others and an army of people will defend them
Don't want to be responsible. The z victim refuses to take responsibility for the actions he has committed.
Holding grudges.
Perpetrators of playing victims can occur because of revenge and dislike for the victim, starting from the way of life, clothes, or having been injured by the victim before.
Disguised as a weak and helpless person. In essence, the perpetrators of playing victims try to disguise themselves as victims. This action is not even visible because they are good at manipulating circumstances, situations, and conditions. When they are wrong, they still don't want to take responsibility and only disguise themselves as weak, helpless, and hurt the most.
Try to feel sorry for yourself in front of other people. The perpetrators who are good at playing victims can disguise themselves as people who feel sorry for themselves. Unmitigated, this action was carried out in front of other people. This trait tends to look childish
Do you have the character of the person who hurt the most? don't get used to it.
When we see people having these qualities, we must be able to respond, so that we don't become victims. However, if we are the ones who think this trait, change it. if you don't want to be labeled as an annoying person. They may not say, people sometimes don't even want to care
As humans, sometimes we also make mistakes. Making mistakes is very human. Likewise if we unknowingly have hurt others through words or actions. You are not the one who suffers the most.
Maybe you have hurt other people without realizing it.
Surely there are our mistakes that are forgiven by people who are not vindictive. Rather than we are busy holding grudges and hating someone who has hurt us, why not try to remember what wounds we have inscribed in the hearts of others?
All of that may have been forgiven by those who were not vindictive. But wouldn't it be better if we apologized directly?
Maybe, in the past, we have said things that hurt other people's hearts. Or we have been unfair to someone.
Everyone has a reason for what they do to us. The hurt and disappointment that we feel may not be done intentionally by the person concerned. However, even if it was intentional, that person must have had a good reason. Instead of thinking nonsense and making us more hurt, it's better to try to instill positive thoughts, right?
Because, it is possible that one day we will also be in that person's position. Where, there must be a choice made and disappointed one of the parties.m
There's nothing wrong with trying to see things from a different perspective
Before you think of yourself as the only one hurting, try to see things from a different perspective. Don't just put yourself first and expect everyone to understand what you want.
See also the sacrifices and struggles of others. You are not the only one who is most valuable in this world. Everyone has different priorities.
It's not a loss if we prefer to forgive other people's mistakes.
Being hurt and disappointed is very vulnerable to invite feelings of revenge. The desire to repay all the heartache will surely arise. However, we don't need to follow it. It is enough to forgive, then our hearts and feelings will be more relieved. As humans, it is very natural for us to feel let down from time to time. That's because we have a tendency to expect from other people. But, when the pain comes, don't overdo it and feel like the one who suffers the most.
Because everyone has reasons for their actions. Everyone can make mistakes too. So are you.
How to deal with people who have playing victims or victim syndrome
Victim syndrome, people who always feel the most suffering and become victims. Have you ever felt annoyed with the people closest to you who always feel like they are 'victims' in every problem related to them?
That means you are a victim of a victim syndrome sufferer. As a victim of a victim syndrome, of course sometimes you will feel confused and awry when dealing with him, especially if he is the closest person to you.
Make sure you know the real thing
When you are involved in a problem that exists between you and a sufferer of victim syndrome, you should first confirm the truth of the incident before finally making a decision.
Don't let yourself feel like you are the right person and make victim blaming. If it's you who is wrong, show him that
admitting mistakes is a responsible behavior and should not be avoided.
However, if it turns out that he is wrong, try to explain to him by using the facts you have gathered. You can also use a third party to provide an assessment of the problems you are facing.
Don't Believe
When able to make others feel guilty, a victim syndrome sufferer will feel relieved and satisfied. If you hear a story from him about someone else, try to respond in a neutral manner, don't be provoked into making unkind comments. Maybe he will share your opinion with other people and make you sound like a bad person.
Don't Pay Too Much Attention
Victim syndrome sufferers usually attract the attention of others by showing that they are the only ones who have so many burdens in life that they are no longer able to deal with them. They don't care if constantly saying negative things to themselves will have a bad impact on their mental health. The most important thing for them is just getting sympathy from other people.
*You feel hurt, don't be too quick to say that God will repay you for your actions, but self-introspection may turn out to be a wound for other people. Let's introspect each other.*

Disappointed when a promise can't be kept
*Promises are a burden of conscience that will burden them to death. Therefore, if you are unable to fulfill it, it is better to remain silent*.
When we make a commitment to something, we will be determined to give our best so that a promise is made. Words with strong and beautiful confession make someone believe in us.
Prospective husband or wife who wants to build a household. Making a s*weet commitment or promise will make a beautiful marriage, be faithful to each other, make sweet dreams come true with our partners until only death do us apart*
*Promise when you have been accepted to work according to what you aspire to. Promise to work hard, be faithful to the work we do*
*A leader of a country or region who promises to the people and society that they will prosper, all guaranteed without obstacles*.
There are many other events that we must pledge with a promise so that what we do is believed. Until one day, because of something intentionally or unintentionally, we have broken a promise that has been said.
How about those who have been victims of promises?
Husband / wife having an affair to hurt their partner. Finally, the promise that had been spoken before was lost because of betrayal. So that makes people who believe in us disappointed, hurt and angry
Easy to say hard to do
*Boy : Hi, shall we meet tomorrow night? I promise to treat you. I'll pick you up. Don't forget to wear nice clothes and make up pretty, ok.*
*Woman: ok, I'll wait. As per your invitation I will do it*
*Boy: (tomorrow) Sorry, I can't keep my promise, I have important things that I can't stay*
*Woman : Why is that you already promised? yes come on!*
From the example of the conversation above, it is easy to promise but it is also easy for us to deny it for any reason. Surely, those of us who received the promise were very disappointed
Sometimes many people slip up saying or inviting something and many also agree with the invitation, but in fact the person who invites it breaks a promise even though he didn't say he promised before. Promises are easy to say, so many people arbitrarily make promises. But many also break promises.
It's possible that the person you have an appointment with has prepared everything to keep your promise. Whether it's about their appearance, transportation or time preparation. Or maybe you have confirmed your promise and canceled other promises, which might be more interesting promises than yours. Imagine how it feels to have a "deal" promise with you, suddenly you easily cancel the promise you have made,
*Husband / wife : I promise to keep this marriage, be faithful only to you, build a happy family*
*Husband / wife : One day he/she saw his partner being intimate with another couple. We as partners they are betrayed, hurt and our partners are sorry. Then promise to be faithful. But because we are too disappointed with our partner, we don't believe anymore*
loss of trust in others when invited to an appointment. Your behavior and your character will indicate who you are in the eyes of others. When you make a promise even if it's a trivial thing and you break the promise, that's when you are no longer trusted with the person you made an appointment with. Maybe someone understands your nature, if not? Maybe he's reluctant to make promises to you again and you might be labeled a "liar"
Change your appointment at another time
As much as possible if we have broken a promise will cause disappointment in the person we broke the promise. Because of our mistakes, maybe he won't believe anymore. Arrange other plans and try not to break promises again. If you can commit, continue and if you don't apologize with all humility for canceling the promise so that he trusts you again
*The kindness of a thousand can be forgotten just like that*
*One mistake can be remembered forever*
The law of breaking a promise in religion
In Islam, a promise is something that is highly guarded, as long as the promise does not aim to sin and disobey Allah. Even promises to be held accountable. Besides the promise to be held accountable. Every Muslim is also strongly emphasized to keep the promises they have made. That is what Allah has commanded in the Quran and the Prophet in his hadith
Fulfilling that promise is a sign of one's faith because fulfilling a promise is obligatory and breaking it is a major sin and the perpetrator is considered a hypocrite and should not be trusted. The nature of breaking promises is proof that someone is not a believer, even if the skills of a pious person are like a beard and wearing a robe and a turban.
Everyone can certainly have contact with other people. Most likely you have experienced how bitter it is to be lied to by others by breaking promises. Indeed, breaking a promise is full of harm, many negative sides will arise as a result of breaking this promise. Allah will curse loudly and curse and inflict disaster on those who break their promises, whether they promise to Allah or promise to their fellow human beings.
Dealing with people who have broken their promises
A promise is a debt. The phrase describes how hard it is to say a promise. On the other hand, we often believe too much in a promise and always expect that promise to be kept.
But what if those promises are often not kept?
1. Decide what you want
So that you are not disappointed with other people's promises, you should just say what you want. What's even more important is how to make the person understand what you want. So he knows how to do it.
2. Set expectations
Promises and expectations are closely related. The higher the expectation of a promise, the higher the risk of disappointment. The tip is to avoid ambiguous things when other people make promises to you. You also need to ask for clarification that is specific to the person.
3. Ask for an explanation first
If the other person has not kept his promise, ask for an explanation first. Do not let you give negative accusations before the person gives the reason. This is very important because the person may be very busy or have to learn to prioritize.
4. Explain the effect of breaking a promise
Forgiving people who have broken promises
Forgiving someone who breaks a promise can be challenging, especially if that person is a friend, family member, or part of another close relationship.
A broken promise may feel like a huge betrayal and make you feel very angry with the person who broke the promise. However, holding a grudge actually has significant implications, both from a psychological and health perspective.
Plus, if you don't forgive them, you're actually hurting yourself more than the other person. That's why it's important that you learn how to forgive others while maintaining a reasonable level of tolerance.
Accept the fact that everything has happened
Focus on feeling comfortable and happy
Release the tension you feel in your body.
Discuss the problem with the person concerned.
Reflect on self-development.
Release me annoyance
1. Practice showing empathy
2. Show you care, even if the person in question breaks his promise too often. If the person breaks their promises very often, consider what the person may have experienced in their life that makes them keep breaking promises.
3. Know the good things that arise from forgiving behavior.
4. Decide to forgive the person concerned.
5. Release the grudge and anger you feel. After all the preparations are done, it's time to let go of anger and resentment. Decide whether you want to tell the person in question directly or release the anger and resentment yourself
6. Rebuild trust by setting boundaries
*Couldn't have hoped for a better past. But let go of what happened has happened. Now, what you need to focus on is the present and the future.*
*Accept the decision to forgive. Do not underestimate the benefits of forgiveness for mental health and do not underestimate the benefits of forgiveness for physical health.*
May we always be surrounded by people who value every relationship that exists

Don't force others to immediately forgive your mistakes
*I am not perfect and make mistakes like ordinary people. I hope you can accept my apology and get rid of my guilt.*
The above expression is a very noble expression for someone who has made a mistake, hurt someone else's heart, intentionally or not. You know it was wrong and all you have to do is apologize. Shows that you are very deeply sorry for a mistake you have made and promise to be better in the future.
We are ordinary human beings who are not perfect. Humans are wrong and sinful. We must realize when we have made a mistake. Our job is to apologize immediately and don't delay.
What we need to pay attention to is our attitude when apologizing. It is natural for us humans to never escape the name of mistakes. Don't apologize all we want. Moreover, the mistakes we make are very serious. When we realize that we were wrong and regret it. Apologize immediately and do it sincerely, wisely and humbly. Don't apologize forcefully or wait for a certain moment. Realizing it was wrong, dare yourself to apologize immediately. Because the position of the person who apologizes and immediately, is higher in rank before Allah.
It's important to hasten to apologize
*Abu Hurairah said, the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: '**Whoever has wronged his brother, whether it be about his honor or something else, then let him ask him to make it lawful today, before the dinar and dirham are of no use (on the Day of Resurrection)'.*
*"(Later) if he has good deeds, will be taken from him the size of his injustice. And if he does not have good (again), it will be taken from the evil of the brother (who was wronged) and then burdened him." (HR Bukhari)*
One positive thing that should be done to erase mistakes is sorry. This will be useful to reduce the anger that is in the wronged person.
Regret for past words or actions, as well as promises not to repeat wrongdoings work to account for the anger that flares up in someone who has been offended.
Maintain politeness when apologizing
When we wrong others, the first thing we do is apologize. However, apologizing, it turns out to be not easy, let alone apologize in a good way. We must be prepared to accept any risk from the person we hope will forgive us. We don't know the person's response to our apology. Whatever it is, keep your attitude, say the words when we apologize.
Psychologist Harriet Lerner, who also wrote Why Won't You Apologize: Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts, provides her views on this matter. According to her, there are many of us who do not understand the correct way to apologize.
In fact, poor ways of apologizing such as being unclear, annoying, demanding, or warning can actually worsen the relationship with the person we hurt.
In addition, Lerner said, a good apology is an opportunity to show responsibility.
A good apology also doesn't involve avoiding, blaming, making excuses, or digging into past mistakes.
According to Lerner, what you need to do when apologizing are
Don't be defensive that is apologizing but justifying what we did. It should be done to heal people who have been injured
Seriously
Don't use other words to apologize or use additional words like if, but, etc
Do not exaggerate
Stay focused, that is, our goal is to apologize because we were wrong and if we are wrong, we should apologize
Apologies in advance means hurry up
After we apologize in a kind and polite manner. Our job is done. After that it's up to the person who accepts our forgiveness. Does he forgive or not? It's none of our business. If he forgives it means we are very grateful but if he can't forgive, don't force it and understand. The heart of the person we have hurt needs a process to heal so that he truly forgives sincerely.
Why can't we force someone to forgive us immediately
From an article in the IDN Times that I read, the reasons why don't force people to accept our apology are:
1. One's feelings can't be forced right
Regarding love or forgiveness, he has the right to his own feelings that cannot be forced by others. So what we can do is wait for him to forgive us, and as long as that is what we have to accept.
2. The right to accept or reject an apology
if you make a mistake all you can do is apologize, then it's up to him to forgive you or not.
So demanding or forcing him to quickly forgive you actually sounds presumptuous and goes too far. Because you have no right to force it.
3. Not all mistakes can be immediately and easily forgiven
Small mistakes that can still be tolerated maybe other people can immediately forgive you, but not all mistakes are easy to forgive, right. You can't force people to quickly forgive you because if your mistake is a fatal thing, it leaves a deep impression on him, especially if it traumatizes him, it will take a long time for someone to forgive it. Things like this are actually very important to understand.
4. Everything has a process, including forgiving someone
Everyone has their own time to be able to forgive, some are quick but some take a long time. If you are really sorry and want to apologize then you have to be patient waiting for yourself to be forgiven.
5. Sincere apologies and don't force it
If we have committed to apologize and do it sincerely. And remember, don't force it because it will be considered presumptuous and arrogant. And instead of forgiving, he can even take revenge on you
If you apologize then do it with appropriate ethics, sincerely, full of awareness and don't force people to quickly forgive you. Let everything run as it should.
*Sorry is a small word, but it has enormous power to build a beautiful relationship. I hope you accept my apology and allow me to build a good relationship with you again.*

Does the opportunity exist?
The time that has passed is impossible for us to go back. So face a new day for a new opportunity.
In life we are always competing to be able to face life's competition that is getting tougher. It is not easy to get something without going through a struggle that is not light. In the life that is lived every human being must have the opportunity to easily achieve a desired goal.
***However, what exactly does Opportunity mean?***
What we know is that the opportunity is an advantage because we can take it or even ignore it. Opportunity can also be equated with time. Why time? because it didn't come twice. Very trivial indeed but sometimes if we ignore an opportunity usually regret later, then all opportunities require decisions (wise decisions of course) because decisions determine fate. So an opportunity depends on how humans make decisions.
***In an article I've read that says "Half the contents are Half Empty" it means that there are 3 types of people who see an opportunity coming, namely:***
***1. Weak people, waiting for opportunities.***
***2. Strong people, create opportunities.***
***3. Wise people, take advantage of opportunities.***
For the weak, if the opportunity has not come he will wait and wait patiently until the opportunity comes. And if the opportunity has not come for so long, then he will make a decision…. Yes, this is indeed my fate. (hopeless)
Meanwhile, for a strong person, if the opportunity has not yet come, he will use various methods and techniques, with all his creativity, connectivity, and all his abilities to create that opportunity. This type of person has the principle that opportunity does not just come, but opportunity must be sought or created.
And for an intelligent person, he will take advantage of the opportunity as well as possible, because he realizes that opportunity is a very valuable gift and it doesn't mean it will come a second time.
***Which type are we?***
In fact, under certain conditions, the emergence of opportunities that may take time to mature. We need to wait a moment, but not passively. Instead, we wait for the opportunity with an alert, proactive and prepared attitude.
However, there are some irresponsible people who take advantage of the wrong opportunity, such as acts of corruption, for example, this is still difficult to overcome because it is still dominated by certain powers who are not transparent in conveying information. Another term is opportunity in adversity. Many people themselves do not want to compete in a healthy manner but instead choose to take an easier shortcut but risk being caught by the law.
Likewise, when we are in a relationship, we must maintain an attitude, good words so that we are liked by the people around us. When we betray them, do something bad. Then it will be difficult to accept again and if we are lucky we are still given the opportunity, namely a trust to be with them again. And we have to be able to protect and maintain it.
Opportunity given by God
God also always provides an opportunity, namely the opportunity to forgive all sins for those who ask forgiveness from Allah. Accompanied by a sense of regret and trying not to repeat the same mistakes. We as God's servants take advantage of this good opportunity by doing a lot of good throughout their lives. Imagine, if God did not give an opportunity in the form of forgiveness from him. When we sin, that very second God will punish us without giving us any chance.
When we are not given a chance
Have you ever been in a position when you were no longer given the opportunity. In love, work or family. Even though you have proven that you are worthy of being given a chance. Like there is a very high barrier that blocks you from proving it. You still have good values and can be responsible for certain things.
You've tried to prove but you also don't get the opportunity. Until you want to give up and just stop. When that happens, maybe all we can do are :
1. Look around you, are you still on the ground?
As long as we're still breathing. That means we are still given the opportunity to be better. When you wake up and you are still on the ground. So, that's the opportunity and take advantage of it. You can do it
2. Prove you still have value
If those around you still don't want to give you a chance, all you need to do is prove that you still have value. No need to be angry with them you just do as it should.
3. Proving it is long but worth it the main thing.
At the time of proving there will be many obstacles that you will face, ridicule, despised and really not worth giving a chance. Please don't give up, there's nothing instant to get something. Proof to be given a chance is indeed the process, no one knows, no one knows, it could be just a moment or even a long time until you are annoyed with yourself. But remember, all your struggles are worth it!
4. Be grateful for what you have today.
If you have done all kinds of efforts but are still not given a chance. So step back, be proud to accept and be grateful for what you are living today or are in the position you are in now. There may still be someone out there who wants your position. Live with sincerity and perseverance. Maybe one day the opportunity will present itself without you remembering it
5. Don't be discouraged, cheer up!
Tired? Reasonable. Give up? Not yet. Back to the point above. When you are still on this Earth, you still enjoy free air, eat, drink, can still do activities and when you wake up your life is still full, that's a sign that you are still given something called OPPORTUNITY . Fix all the things that you might think are less than optimal or maybe there was an error in the past, solve it. If there's something you want, do it while you can. Do it to the best of your ability.
Don't be discouraged because you weren't given a chance in the end, you can look for that opportunity elsewhere. A place where you can show that you have useful values for those around you.
Every day is a second chance
We always hear the term "second chance" which means that after experiencing failure, disappointment or mistakes we are still forgiven and can be trusted to do what we normally do.
***Is it really a second chance? Can everyone get it? Or only certain people?***
***When someone has made a mistake, failed in his life and regretted it and we say "If I was given a second chance I would do better" said the second chance we make it as consolation and life support. What should we do, wait, beg, beg, be reckless etc.? Maybe we often hear people say, opportunities don't come twice. Thus, so-called "second chances" are usually expressed in presuppositions that contain promise. If I had a second chance, I would do this. If I was given a second chance, then I would do even better.***
***Such expressions sound resigned, as if the opportunity is something given by someone else, coming from outside of us, so that we can only wait and wish while imagining a situation when what we wished for became a reality. How should we respond to the word opportunity that we all feel happy when living it?***
***You have wasted the opportunity. I just lost a very valuable opportunity. Don't let that opportunity pass you by. In the face of opportunity, we seem helpless; Opportunity is like a slippery force, easily released, beyond our control, so it requires full anticipation of body and soul.***
***This is the opportunity I've been waiting for. The opportunity finally came. Here, opportunities are like something that comes from far away, unattainable, and once again we can only resign ourselves to waiting, maybe while sitting around bored chewing kuaci. Opportunity is like luck, comes suddenly after a long wait, becomes a surprise and brings a burst of happiness.***
***Give me a chance. You deserve a chance. I'll give you another chance. This time, the opportunity is like a form of appreciation for a certain assessment result or quality. There is a kind of power relation, between the giver and the recipient or the requester, the appraiser and the appraiser, the judge and the defendant. Opportunity is a gift as well as a testing tool, a measure of morale.***
Opportunity usually relates to the "big" affairs of love, career, home, and health. We break up, get heartbroken, then feel guilty and have wasted opportunities. We fail the interview to get the job we want, then regret it, and feel like we have lost
Very valuable opportunity. We cheat, screw things up, and hope to be given one more chance to improve.
We are diagnosed by a doctor with a fatal, dangerous disease, told that the opportunity to heal is "fifty-fifty", then we pray wholeheartedly to God, asking for healing, while promising, if given a second chance, we will be closer to Him and devote the rest of one's life only to good.
Because God sees our sincerity, or vice versa, deliberately wants to test our sincerity, then we are finally healed. We are saved from disease. At that moment, we feel we have been given a second chance. Opened a new door, to live a new day. We are grateful, we are more diligent in worshiping, giving charity to others, staying away from various lifestyles that we used to be familiar with and contributing to the arrival of the disease that almost took our lives yesterday.
However, many of us have to face repeated failures, repeated mistakes that make our lives messy, and various problems that come and go and seem endless.
We sink, fall, roll in the waves of life that beat us mercilessly. We can get up, and stand tall again, and start everything with new energy and passion to mend what has been broken. But, we can also fall deeper and deeper, as if facing a deadlock, surrounded by thick walls, and there is no turning back.
***Then, where is the second chance? Why don't second chances come to anyone? Why do some people deserve a second chance "angel" and others don't? What are the conditions? Do second chances come to random people? We have put in the same effort, prayed the same fervent prayer, but why have the results been different?***
Simple but very meaningful
That every day is a second chance : to improve, try harder, be more compassionate, live healthier, keep promises, forget unnecessary plans, make new plans, make dreams come true?
Why wait for the new year to start new things? Why must there be a certain moment before we reach it. If we always remember that every day is a new day, then we have far more moments and "reasons" to always start anything, make resolutions, as well as open endless opportunities for every effort to make it happen. Because every day is a second chance.
Take the chance. All life is opportunity. The person who goes the farthest is usually the one who is willing to do and brave

Eliminate boredom with ice breaking

Millions of goodness from the coconut tree
The kindness and millions of love that you have sometimes we forget and insult you, embrace and teach us also with a million goodness too
Do you know that nature and its contents can always be used as learning? And that can only be obtained from people who want to think. If we learn from someone we need to hear and understand. If we learn from nature, then we need to contemplate uncovering the veil, understanding because there are many secrets from the universe that we can use as life lessons.
Learning from nature and its contents, one of the trees that has a beautiful nickname is the coconut tree. Have you ever heard a wise saying that the coconut tree is a tree of a thousand uses. Yes, that's the nickname given to the coconut tree. This is very reasonable because we can see every part of the coconut tree has many benefits. From roots, leaves, sticks, fruit to stems etc. All of them are very useful
Don't underestimate the coconut tree. Coconut fruit that we have been consuming for health benefits. Coconut leaves can be used as the roof of a simple house, coconut trees are processed to make boards that are useful for making buildings, etc.
Behold, a tree but useful as a whole and spread goodness from itself. Aren't we jealous? We humans have reason and mind. As a caliph creature on this earth. Let's ask. How much kindness have we given to others? Have we sincerely done good? Can we be useful to others? Or do we just always annoy and annoy other people? If not, we can learn about goodness from the coconut tree
Coconut tree philosophy in life
If the philosophy of rice is the more contained, the more bent. So the philosophy of the coconut tree is that there is a tree that seeks God and can be used as a foothold in living life. Through the coconut tree, perhaps it can also be used as a lesson, that one should become a man who grows taller not to boast about himself, but to move on to seek his Lord.
Be a human being who is always useful to others. Move and grow up to seek knowledge and experience as much as possible. Not to show greatness, but as a means to be useful for many people in the future.
Not many can think that way.
But the philosophy of this coconut tree can be an alternative reminder that everything in this world belongs to God alone, even though everything that happens is by His will.
Giving motivation to human life
It takes years to see coconut trees grow tall for us to take advantage of them. Likewise we humans need a lot of time to see grow up. And really hope he grows up big, healthy, smart and useful. The coconut tree grows taller the more benefits we take and it has no limits. Likewise with us. Don't count in giving kindness. Do not bring up the good we have given. Do not forget the kindness of others and always be strong in every condition. Don't be quick to despair and give in to circumstances that sometimes don't go your way.
Learn to live wisely from coconut trees
The coconut tree has all the parts that we can use for life. When it had grown big and tall. At that time goodness is in every part.
**Root**
Trees that have a characteristic towering up to 30 meters. It grows anywhere and in any situation. Because it has such strong roots that it has no effect. If we can learn from the roots of the coconut tree, we must have a strong foundation or faith so that we don't give up easily with circumstances.
When it's difficult, don't make us join in despair, stress and get out of control. A very tall coconut tree is definitely not easy because there will be many obstacles during strong winds, floods. Even during the Aceh tsunami. When a sturdy building collapses in a thunderstorm. But the coconut tree still survives as hard as it can even make people take shelter. But when the time comes, the strong coconut tree may weaken or break in the future.
**Have lots of fruit**
Coconut is a tree that produces a lot of fruit. Coconuts have a strong, layered shell and skin with coir as a vibration absorber. When the fruit falls from the tree, it does not break easily. The light old coconut can float on the water so it will be carried by the flow of water anywhere.
The analogy of the fruit is the "seed of goodness", still "whole and quality" can grow and spread wherever and wherever we are. Living by adhering to the coconut tree philosophy can help us live a peaceful, comfortable, prosperous and prosperous life.
Able to adapt to all kinds of conditions, strong and enthusiastic in living life and likes to help others in solving problems.
**towering tree**
The symbol of Indonesian Scouts is the coconut tree bud. It must have a very strong meaning, namely the coconut shoots symbolizing that every member of the Scouts is the nation's bud. As a generation of nation, we must be able to make our own nation proud, namely Indonesia.
From the coconut shoots he will grow and be tall. Which means life must uphold honesty. Live straight to achieve good. And coconut trees are able to survive in any conditions. Scout members must be physically strong and tough. Ready in any condition, maintain self-discipline, dignity, wherever he is.
**Waving beautiful behind the kindness**
Coconut trees have leaves with a distinctive shape that is pinnate with a glossy green color. These leaves can grow to a length of 2-6 meters. Coconut leaves can be used as a roof or a wicker that can be useful such as baskets, mats, etc. And sticks can also be used as brooms that aim to clean.
From all that, we can take a lesson from coconut leaves, which is to always protect ourselves from bad things, be grounded in goodness, always introspect ourselves. Don't be arrogant and stay humble. The famous coconut tree is a strong tree and has leaves and sticks for roofing and brooms. All of that can be used as a philosophy that we must improve life to become a better person
**The goodness behind the power**
Sturdy coconut tree trunks can still be used by humans such as making emergency bridges from coconut trees, simple coconut tree plank houses, building supports, etc.
From the trunk of a coconut tree, we can find philosophy when we realize that we are capable and strong. So, make yourself arrogant not to want to share goodness, help others who are less fortunate than us. Those of us who are given the trust have advantages, don't look down on other people. We can, take advantage of our ability to be kind to others
***Buya Hamka once said "If life is just living, Pigs in the forest also live and If work is just work, Monkeys also work"***
When a coconut tree is blown by a strong wind, its leaves will bud, but after the wind passes, it will bloom again, like the journey of a human life that never escapes the trials and obstacles of life
Let's all learn to live wisely like a coconut tree which has a million meanings of goodness for all. The life we go through is getting higher and higher like a coconut tree and there will be many obstacles that we will face. Stay consistent in doing good no matter how hard the trials are like a coconut tree that is not tired of spreading goodness
If only we realized how beautiful coconut trees are in this world. If only the life of the coconut tree was also incarnated in our lives. How can a tree, created by Allah SWT without reason and lust, be able to provide full value for its entire life. So, what about our lives?

Love the world of literacy
Books are the most important part for those who learn to read to build knowledge and skills. And reading is part of basic literacy. Literacy is a word that is not foreign to us.
When we talk about literacy, it must be related to reading. Because literacy starts with reading, understanding, writing, etc. Literacy is a general term that refers to a set of individual abilities and skills in reading, writing, speaking, calculating, and solving problems at a certain level of expertise required in everyday life.
Literacy is very important to improve quality human resources. Especially in the world of education which has the biggest impact on the progress of the nation. With current technological advances, it is possible for someone to get information or knowledge very easily from various media*.*
***Several scientists explain the importance of increasing literacy in our lives***
According to UNESCO "The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization", literacy is a set of real skills, especially skills in reading and writing that are independent of the context in which these skills are acquired and who acquires them.
The National Institute for Literacy defines Literacy as "an individual's ability to read, write, speak, calculate and solve problems at the skill level required in work, family and society." This definition defines Literacy from a more contextual perspective. From this definition implies that the definition of Literacy depends on the skills needed in a particular environment.
The Education Development Center (EDC) states that literacy is more than just the ability to read and write. But more than that, literacy is the ability of individuals to use all their potential and skills in life. With the understanding that literacy includes the ability to read words and read the world.
***And many more that discuss the very important literacy. Literacy is not just reading but understanding, expressing and being able to mentally understand what is being discussed***
Basic literacy
September 8 is celebrated as International Literacy Day and has been going on since 1967. International Literacy Day celebrations take place every year around the world to remind people of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights. This basic literacy is knowledge and skills in obtaining and processing information to develop understanding and potential. To train this ability, sourced from gln.kemdikbud.go.id, we can do the following activities, namely getting to know the basics of literacy. This basic literacy can help beginners in everyday life, and of course can be a provision for someone who wants to be a superior generation in the future.
There are 6 basic literacy that we need to know and we have, the 6 Basic Literacy are:
1. Literacy Read Write
2. Numerical Literacy
3. Scientific Literacy
4. Digital Literacy
5. Financial Literacy
6. Cultural Literacy and Citizenship
The most basic literacy starts from Read and Write. After that proceed to the next stage of literacy. Of course, literacy is very important. Reading and writing are the earliest known things in the history of human civilization. In the past, people of ancient civilizations communicated by symbols and images carved into stone, wood, cave walls, and so on. As time progressed, the letters began to be known.
Besides being able to read and write. Reading and writing literacy also includes understanding the meaning of an article. ***For example, if we are given a drug prescription by a doctor. Just being able to read the given recipe is not enough, you also have to be able to understand the rules for use and the dosage so that fatal mistakes don't occur***.
So, reading and writing literacy is the knowledge and skills to read, write, search, browse, process and understand information to analyze, respond to, and use written texts to achieve goals, develop understanding and potential, and to participate in the social environment.
Literacy in education
Good literacy can hone the ability to think critically, creatively, innovatively and foster students' character. Literacy skills can also encourage students to be able to understand information reflectively, analytically and critically.
Literacy is an important skill that every student must have. Most of the educational process depends on literacy skills and awareness. Literacy skills include all language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Unesco explains that literacy is the right of everyone and is the basis for lifelong learning. Literacy skills can empower and improve the quality of individuals, families, communities.
Before starting the lesson the teacher will give students the opportunity to read about the material to be studied in about 5 - 10 minutes to read, take a summary of what was read and describe it. And here, language skills are very important when giving information to others.
Literacy in the religion
***Kenneth Primrose, chair of religious, moral and philosophical studies at Robert Gordon's College in Scotland,*** stressed the importance of increasing religious literacy in order for people to learn to live with one another.
***In an article entitled “Overcoming Religious Illiteracy: A Cultural Studies Approach” published on the World Connected History website,*** ***Diane L. More*** ***defines religious literacy as the ability to see and analyze the intersection between religion and social, political, and cultural life from various perspectives.***
Literacy is also very prioritized in Islam, namely reading, learning about science that has been revealed by Allah SWT to the Prophets and Apostles then to friends, believers, so that it reaches us Muslims.
Islam is a religion that encourages to cultivate a culture of literacy among its people. This is inseparable from the history of the revelation of the holy book Al-Quran itself. The revelation that was first revealed to the ***Prophet Muhammad shalallahu 'alaihi wasalam is a verse about science, namely "Iqra"*** which means the command to read. Reading is very important in the life of a Muslim, because reading is a gateway for the entry of various knowledge. To open this knowledge insight, it is necessary to use knowledge intermediaries through knowledge books or study with teachers directly.
Allah also commands his Muslim servants to read a lot of the Qur'an and its translations to be understood and practiced in daily life. So, Islam really loves reading and writing. Especially about science because the two are interrelated.
Literacy in society
To support our love for the world of literacy, the Ministry of Education and Culture, an institution engaged in education in Indonesia, organizes the Community Literacy Movement program. The Community Literacy Movement was developed by the Directorate General of Early Childhood Education and Community Education as a follow-up to the illiteracy eradication program that was awarded UNESCO in 2012.
And can be seen. To support the program, a library is provided in every village, even one in a village in the area where I live. They have a library and the books are donations from residents and village funds.

Farewell is certain
Everything changes, like it or not. Everyone must be apart, like it or not. Everything must end, ready or not ready
Have you ever heard the old saying "Every time there is a meeting there will be a farewell". Every beautiful meeting will definitely end with a farewell, because in this life nothing lasts forever. Whatever it is, separation always brings sadness because human nature wants to have. But this is life that must be lived as a provision and destiny from God
Interpreting the saying that every meeting has a farewell, that is, along the journey of life, we will meet and get to know many people. When we are born, we will know our parents and family. When you go to school, you will find classmates. Until the time we work, we will get colleagues. Whatever the conditions, parting will certainly make the people left behind. Sadness is a natural thing to feel when someone is separated from the person he loves. But don't be complacent with the so-called 'sad', because our life is still long. Time will not wait for us to stand up again. Raise your shoulders, step your feet again forward. The future is still bright, new happiness is in sight.
Addressing the meaning of parting
Farewell is present as a reminder that life is not always for happiness. There are limits that we have to accept in life. In the end, separation will make us realize that we are only human beings who do not have any power in the eyes of God. Time is running and we will also automatically follow it. Separation exists, so that we can appreciate a meeting. Whether it's parting because of circumstances that it's time to part to meet in a good future or separated by death. Love, respect, get along and peace with the people we meet. If, one day parting will definitely leave a good impression.
Moment of farewell with students
One week ago, for the umpteenth time. This year I again celebrated a farewell party with students at the school I teach. And this is my 13th year farewell to students while I teach at this school. It is undeniable that parting must feel sad. But farewell to students is a farewell accompanied by millions of prayers, hopes and dreams. Really hope, after they graduate from this school and enter into a new school. In a new place that they will hang hope.
They will adapt to a new school, new friends, new teachers and, of course, new knowledge. Armed with the knowledge he had acquired in the old school.
May they be able to achieve all their dreams. We (teachers) are not perfect for them, but sincere prayers always accompany their steps. Good luck in the future. How they used to be, still want them to be successful in the future.
*One day, after a long time, I met my former student who was already working in a telecommunications office. Even I forgot his name, but she remembered me and said hello. I remember this former student was the class when I first taught. And very coincidentally, she gave me a wedding invitation. This is where I feel that I am getting older and she has also succeeded in not being jealous but proud. A student who was young, still joking with his friends, seeking*
*on another occasion, I also met a former student at a hospital when I was waiting in line for treatment and he introduced himself as my former student and has the same name as me. She had worked as a nurse in a hospital and she had also grown taller than me. And I'm grateful, he helped make it easier for me when I was queuing so the process was fast*
*I also heard from the story of a fellow teacher that I had met a former student. he has become a soldier and there is also a recent graduate accepted as a police officer. And I just thank them for their success*
*I'm proud of them. So are my hopes for this year's graduate students.*
I also did the same thing when I met my former teacher when I was in middle school, high school and college. Some still remember, some forget me and I introduce myself
Prayers and hopes for my students
*For you my students who will continue your education. Never stop reaching for knowledge as high as possible. Be, a valuable person for your environment. Dedicate the knowledge you get to useful things.*
*For my students, your naughty people give color to my teaching life. Because you are looking for your identity. This is the time, prove to us the knowledge you have gained to be your reference in the future.*
*Whatever your choice in the future it will be your best choice. From now on, the future is in your hands and make the most of it.*
*If there were words and words that were thrown out that were not good. It's just a whip so you can reach your dream. And if I stood before you without a smile. That's just to galvanize you so that later you become a strong generation.*
*My great student...*
*There is no grudge hidden behind the heart. There is only sincere love. Even though I'm just an ordinary Master. Not as good as Angels or your biological parents.*
*There is a hidden prayer behind my anger and firmness. A teacher's prayer for his children and my best students*
*Later on....*
*Be you children of filial piety. Against the nation, state religion and parents.*
*Hope does not come alone. Hope will be a part of life if you fight for it. After three years the teacher guides you. It's time for you to strive at a higher level*
Nothing is expected by a teacher except to see the children he teaches become successful and useful. "Welcome to high school my best students”

The heart is no longer the same
Grammar : Tenses 1
The splendor of the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh Indonesia
The heart is no longer the same
Sometimes, when I think I know people. They let me down in ways I never imagined
Everyone must have experienced various events in life. Seems to be balanced. There are times when a person feels happy and doesn't have any problems in their life. But there are also times when a person feels at his lowest point when he is having problems. One of the problems that often arise and we experience is disappointment and heartache. Disappointed with those closest to us. From spouse, friends, family, co-workers, etc. What is certain, if we are in a disappointed position, surely we will feel angry, hurt, hate, maybe hold a grudge, find it difficult to forgive, even relationships that have been close so far may stretch, break up and drift away.
*It is easier to forgive ordinary people than to forgive the wounds of those we love and trust.*
This is what is called an expression of disappointment in someone who has hurt us, either intentionally or not. And that will surely cause feelings of sadness and heartache. Disappointment is an expression of feeling that arises when the expectations and results obtained do not match. It could be that this disappointment comes from yourself or from someone else
If it comes from ourselves, maybe we will feel defeated, weak, stressed, hopeless, and even cause depression. Likewise, if the disappointment comes from other people, even from those closest to us. We will feel betrayed, destroyed, painful and even disappointed and hurt that we feel more painful from people we know and are close to than other people who are not close to us. Feeling disappointed is very natural for every human being. Disappointment does not only happen to adults, but also teenagers to children. In today's instant-paced life, surely you have been let down by other people.
*Sometimes, when I think I know people, they disappoint me in ways I never imagined*
The above expression is our disappointment to others. From what we already know. Maybe it came from his own family. To be sure we feel disbelief if he could do that to us. Very sad people we trust. think he is kind and sincere to us. In fact betray and hurt us. Relationships that have been good so far are broken, broken, cracked. Sometimes we want to take revenge for what we have done, hold a grudge, curse at him, scold him or we are quite silent, stay away from him, act normal and just give in. At times like this, sooner or later people who have hurt and disappointed us apologize to us. What attitude do we choose to forgive or keep a grudge until the end of life?
*I have forgiven him but as you can see if the glass is broken even if it is repaired it will still come back intact as before, and regarding my disappointment, don't worry this heart will be fine again even if it takes a long time*
The expression above is an expression of someone who wants to succumb to what happened, no need to curse or take revenge. He wants to make peace with the situation by *****FORGIVING BUT....!!!*****
Still hurt
Based on the explanation from ***Buya Yahya, who is a caretaker of da'wah institutions and Islamic boarding schools,*** Feeling hurt because of something said, behavior of others, and so on, is not pleasant. Feeling hurt even to the point of feeling hate in the heart, because of other people's actions.
In fact, hurt or not at the actions of others, comes back to oneself, considers the behavior as the cause of pain or accepts and doesn't care about other people's actions. Still Feel Hate Even After Forgiving. I've tried to forget and forgive other people's mistakes towards us, but if I remember those mistakes sometimes I still hate
Heartache and hatred, do not immediately disappear. But we are given the opportunity by God. When hatred arises, we try to fight it. Trying to fight, we keep smiling even though the heart hurts even it will be a reward from Allah even great in the eyes of others. We have forgiven but are still hurt and we fight, we don't want the hurt to appear on our faces, it means we are still normal. The pain that is stored in the heart, let the heart feel it. And pray that this pain will one day go away.
*Everyone looked weakly at me, without having to explain what was wrong and what I lacked. It's painful even though everyone doesn't consider the strengths and abilities that exist in themselves, but believe me I can survive, I'm fine even though it's hard to rebuild a heart that has been broken because of disappointment*
Can't forget
When we are disappointed and we don't want to reciprocate. And we succumb to forgive that person's actions and hope that they will not repeat their actions again. Many understandings state that forgiveness must be accompanied by forgetting.
According to ***a National Motivator of Leadership & Happiness, Arvan Pradiansyah*** stated that forgiveness and forgetting were not one package. Forgive but if you can't forget it. It's okay and doesn't need to be forced. Just being willing to forgive means you want to win our hearts. Arvan Pradiansyah also stated that there are types of people from the way he forgives.
The first type is the type of person who does not forgive and does not forget. People who take this way will feel there is no peace and happiness in their souls
The second type is the one who forgives and also forgets. “That's a nave person". Forgiving him is right, but the person who forgets it means he will have a tendency to experience the same thing in the next opportunity
So the most appropriate step is to forgive people, but not forget them, because someone needs to take lessons from painful events.
Forgiveness means treating hurt feelings, without having to forget the events that occurred. What is called forgiveness is to heal feelings and heal wounds. But the incident must be remembered. Not forgetting does not mean not sincerely forgiving, but instead becomes a lesson so as not to be harmed a second time
*Forgiving does not have to forget because God created us with a very wide memory space*
Keep your distance (not familiar anymore)
Forgiving someone who has hurt our hearts and feelings. often not an easy thing. There is a feeling of disapproval when we just forgive him. But if we don't forgive, we will be tortured by ourselves because we actually hold a grudge.
Sometimes the best way to forgive someone is to stay away from them. It's not meant to be selfish or self-defeating. It's just that sometimes this is the best way so that no more hearts are hurt.
Keeping Distance Can Be a Way to Make Peace
Not everyone can forgive easily and quickly. Sometimes it takes longer to reconcile. By keeping our distance we can have more free space. A space to be able to calm down and escape from him who had hurt him.
Keep Your Distance Doesn't Mean Enmity
Good relations are maintained. But you really have to be more careful, don't let you get hurt again because of his hurtful behavior. Keeping a distance here does not mean hostile. Be more careful, so that past mistakes don't repeat themselves. At the same time prevent him from making mistakes or inflicting the same wound on you
Needs Sincerity
Maybe you have also often heard that to forgive we need sincerity. The only problem is that sometimes it is not easy to be truly sincere. We need time and a process that is sometimes long enough to be truly sincere. And by keeping our distance, at least we can use the space to learn sincerity.
For those of you who have been hurt, may you be healed in the best way possible. Let him who ever hurt you away from you for a moment. For your good too, sometimes we need to keep our distance to be able to heal all wounds.
For those of you who have been hurt, disappointed, betrayed, hurt. Your choice in yourself to forgive in your own way or to hold grudges to avenge your disappointment. Make peace with the situation or keep your pain into a grudge
When our hearts are no longer the same as those that used to be so close to us. We trust him because we think he is good and sincere. Whoever he is, believe me you are a wise person, unpretentious and God is always with good and sincere people

Two sides of life
There is light in every darkness. There is a way in every problem. There is hope in every prayer
Light is a gift from God to all of us. Without light, day and night are just black without beauty. Light and darkness are two sides that cannot be separated. Light and darkness can be a reminder that this life has two different sides. Many liken it that life is not only about light and darkness or can be interpreted as good and bad. There is another side between the two that is often forgotten, namely the dim part.
These various kinds of light are commonly used to express these uncertain meanings of life. In everyday life, we often find ugliness wrapped in goodness, or goodness that looks bad. There is almost always an uncertain part of every event. Just contemplating the events in this world seemed like it had no end. What if asked to contemplate about the lives to come.
***Darkness can't drive out darkness, only light can do it. Hate can't drive out hate, only love can do it***
Live every Scenario of life
The beauty of this world is not because it has the same color, but because it is different. Seeing rainbows on the horizon is amazing because of their different colors and united in a harmonious series. Beautiful anyone who sees. God created all pairs so that we can reflect on every event that we go through. There is a meeting there is a separation, there is black and white, there is dark and light, there is sorrow and happiness, there is evil and good etc. That's why Allah created Heaven and Hell
A mother who has excess money. *spend as much money as possible to be able to lose weight or to beautify yourself so that you are always beautiful and youthful. It doesn't matter how. No matter how expensive it is because there is money to do all that. Meanwhile, on the other hand there is a mother who has a life in complete deprivation. Struggle for money. Day, night, hot rain does not care. Just to be able to feed their children. Even though the body is sick, tired as long as seeing her children eat properly is enough for her*
*Husband and wife, who already have more than 5 children. They don't want to add new members so they use contraceptives so that their wives don't get pregnant again because it will cost a lot if they add children or it will be difficult to take care of them. Meanwhile, another husband and wife are very sad that they have been married for a long time but have not been given children. Pray day and night. Expensive treatment just to be able to get offspring. The efforts and tears they do are what they do for a successor in the family*
*A highly intelligent graduate student gets good and satisfactory grades. Coming from a rich family whose children don't need to work, just study and study. On the other hand there is someone who comes from a poor family. He doesn't come from a rich family. He works for extra money. But he went to school, studied and worked but got the best grades*
Can we say this is all unfair? This is life. Every self has a best scenario that God has outlined. Rest assured that Allah's scenario is in accordance with your capacity. Dig all your abilities so that you can run it well. Whatever your life line, do your best to lead us to Allah's pleasure
Black and white life
The most difficult thing is not to get something, but the most difficult is to maintain it. Life and love, don't see the black or white color that you give. But this life will give a beautiful color that can be seen from the eyes and heart that you show it. Life is just black and white and our job is the color. What is appropriate we beautify and what is bad we remove
How do we know white, if we don't know what black is. How we call it light, if the definition of dark or dim is still a matter of debate. Life is wider, than your imagination ever thought. Need mud, so the lotus can live beautifully. It needs to be dark, so that the light can be bright. It needs black, for white to exist. It takes pain to be hurt, to be truly happy
Life is like a piano. Colored white and black. However, when God's Power plays it, everything becomes beautiful. Life is about white or black, good or bad, trying or giving up, and nothing in between. The reward for all that is heaven or hell. Of the many choices, back to ourselves which one will be the choice because our souls and bodies only belong to God.
The world is just a stopover, let's always think positively until the choice of path in our lives will get the best

Parents and teachers are heroes in life
According to the definition of a hero is a person who stands out for his courage and sacrifice in defending the truth. So, in general, when referring to this definition, parents and teachers deserve to be used as heroes in people's lives. Thus, the word hero is someone who is rewarded whose actions are successful and useful for the benefit of many people.The first President of Indonesia, Soekarno, once said that a great nation is a nation that does not forget its heroes. From that advice, it is clear that the hero is a person who is instrumental to the people he loves. Parents and teachers meet these criteria.
The main reason is of course because parents and teachers are the most instrumental in the life of almost everyone on this earth. Never forget their service to us. We can never repay the services of parents and teachers. Therefore, always pray for them whether they are still alive or have died so that they will always be in the love of God, the Almighty God
4 reasons why we must respect/civilize our parents and teachers.
We always hear these words, among the good qualities are "respect parents and teachers. Parents are the first teachers in our lives, mothers who have given birth and fathers make a living to support us. Among them are their obligations as parents they have our rights respect.
Meanwhile, teachers are our second parents. The basic knowledge given by our first teachers (parents) is not enough to explore this life, there needs to be someone who directs them, to know it all, namely teachers at school. Our parents are clearly Father and Mother , while teachers has a broad meaning, namely "other people" who are not related by blood to us, but have the same rights as our fathers and mothers
To respect them, to speak politely, to greet/bow to them, just as we do to our parents. Even their degree is the same in our eyes "respect your teacher as you respect your parents"
The reason why we respect them, this is God's commandment, obligation, which directs us about life, provides knowledge from the basic to the highest, plays an important and meritorious role in our lives and has a strong prayer.
So, there is no reason not to respect them. Respecting and listening to their advice (as long as it leads to good) we must do.
Their services are like "Diamonds" from their hard work, tears, sweat and prayers, never asking for what has been given back. Being a parent is a duty and obligation, while being a teacher is a noble job that will create other jobs. If you want to become a doctor, you have to find a teacher who understands medicine, to be an architect, you have to find a teacher who understands archival science and so on.
My parents are my heroes. My teachers are unsung heroes
Expressing my love to all parents and teachers
**"My parents are my first heroes. My teachers are the light of my"**
*This self is born like a white and pure cloth that will take me to the point where my steps will stand.*
*Mother father...*
*I will never forget you who have taken care of me, guided me, raised me.*
*You're my first teacher*
*Let me find my identity*
*Release me in your beautiful prayers, allow yourself to wander to see the contents of this world, measure the breadth of this world.*
*I wonder, How do I live?*
*How I stepped in the dark alley of this world armed with only a small lamp from my first teacher, this will not be enough..*
*Until there comes a great lamp that will illuminate this entire horizon*
*He is the one who will carry the big lamp, he is the one I will call my other teacher, my second teacher, my second parent*
*My beloved teacher....*
*Tired of guiding me, until I understand this world, learn how to know what this world wants.*
*My teacher at home, the teacher who has taken care of me, guided me and raised me*
*However.. I need something that is the strongest stick for me to be able to stand on my own feet, going around, looking, from point to point, determining the direction of my life which I know is not easy, very hard, for the sake of making my father and mother proud as teachers my first, my life's first hero.*
*My dear teacher...*
*To you I stepped in need of a bigger lamp to illuminate every step of the long journey of my life, illuminate the darkness of my life*
*You are my teacher, my second parent, my teacher, the lamp of my life*
*Mother father...*
*For me you are still my first teacher where I lean on when tired comes to whack, which demands my first step to open the window of this living world.*
*There will be heroes out there who will be instrumental in my life, whom I will respect as I respect you, who will instill their services in my life like your service to me, whom I will protect their trust, just as I guard your trust, one day who will direct the true direction of my life.*
*My parents are my teachers at home*
*My teacher, my parents at school, you are the lamp that illuminates the steps of my life*
*My teacher is my lamp*
*Thank you for lighting up the steps of my life's journey*
*Thank you for giving a diamond in the form of diamond knowledge that was born from your sweat drops*
*Give every beautiful pearl that comes from your lips*
*All that 'I won't be able to reply to it*
*My teacher my hero*
*Your heart is really noble*
*How sincere my heart is in giving your knowledge, my teacher, my parents*
*I will never forget your services because in every progress I make, every sparkle of the diamond of knowledge that you give, there are drops of your light*
*From the drops of your sweat you never intended to rule this world*
*You don't want to take the contents of this world*
*Taking back everything you have given*
*But you stay where you are, standing behind me encourages me to be brave and act*
*Let every sweat evaporate by itself and let our knowledge diamonds be brought to conquer this world*
*You just smile proudly, see your diamonds still sparkle, provide support wherever we are*
*and from this drop of sweat there is a beautiful time where you receive even more beautiful, more eternal, more real. When you return to Allah's side.*

When luck happens
Even to stupid people God sends luck, even to crazy people God gives life sustenance
In living a life of many colors we will go through happiness, sadness, failure, luck etc. Of course we must be able to respond to every color that occurs that fails, don't despair. If you are sad, don't be sad. Believe me, happiness will surely come. Those who are lucky in everything will be happy. But remember, don't be so arrogant that you forget yourself. Luck can belong to anyone. You don't have to be rich, beautiful, smart. Everything that happens in our life is a pebble and a test. Is the test in the form of happiness or sadness. We must be able to respond well, wisely and calm minded.
Feel great when luck is on your side
It will be a joy in itself to be able to live a life full of luck. In fact, there is a saying that says, ***'the fate of a smart person still loses to a lucky person'.*** This phrase is commonly heard in society, as a reminder that one's success is not only due to his efforts, but there is an element of luck.
That means there are factors outside the mind, which cause a person to achieve success so that even if someone already has enough provisions, success may not be achieved without luck. Even so, luck is not experienced by everyone. Only certain people are lucky in life.
That's why, don't rely too much on luck. You have to keep trying and fighting for success. Luck or what we often call opportunity. It all comes suddenly and unexpectedly. If we are ready and have the opportunity then that is called luck. Luck is the meeting of opportunity and careful preparation.
If, one day luck is on your side. Stay humble, don't feel what you are doing is the most right and great so you are lucky. That is the destiny of life that you are accepting and giving you the opportunity to get lucky. Don't be lulled and keep in mind how you can be like this all because of God's destiny.
Envy other people's luck
***There is no dignity for a liar, no comfort for a jealous person, and a miser has no friends.***
Everyone has their own. Wanting in other people's parties often triggers feelings of self-envy.
Of course, feelings of envy with a good thing. Not only can damage good relationships with other people but also bad for yourself because it can trigger excessive stress.
Our lives will not be calm if we always instill jealousy and envy. There is no need to be jealous of the advantages of others, because every human being has advantages and disadvantages. Envy belongs only to those who do not appreciate its advantages. It is better to work alone to achieve success than to be jealous of the success of others. Learn to admire not envy, to praise not to seduce, to appreciate not imitate, and your life will be more meaningful.
Be grateful when luck is there for you
***The source of happiness is your heart, the root of which is gratitude in your heart. The more grateful you are, the happier you are***
If, right now luck is in your hands. So, be wise in managing it. There must still be gratitude that what you get today is all because of God. Don't be arrogant and always be humble for the luck that happens. Luck is the very fine wire between survival and disaster, and not many people can keep it balanced.
Be patient when you are not lucky
***When he is bestowed with goodness and luck he will praise Allah and be grateful. When disaster strikes he praises God, be patient***
When luck is not on our side. We do not give up let alone to despair. Think positive and encourage yourself. Trust me, God has prepared the best secret we didn't know is waiting for us
You may be disappointed, but quickly get back up and fight again. Think positive, be happy, calm yourself. Read articles about passion, patience, etc. All the positive things you hear and do as long as it can make you enthusiastic, cheerful, strong and patient. Please, Continue!!!
The color of life, always present in every second of your life. Whether it's sadness, happiness, beauty or even ugliness, they are always present in life. This is what gives color to our lives.

Hello readcash lovers. This week it's hard for me to greet noisecash and readcash friends because they are very busy. Because the school is back to being active after the Eid holiday. So, it was a very time-consuming and didn't have time to say hello and read all of my dear friends' articles. I am sorry. I try to be active and update my writing even though I have to write in the middle of the night. Greetings to all of you and keep the spirit of loving noisecash, readcash and BCH. 🤗🤗😘🙏🙏
The price of a trust
Trust is like a piece of paper, once it's crumpled until it's wrinkled, it can't be perfect again
Trust is our attitude to uphold a belief that is considered true and to follow something because of the value of goodness and truth. And is considered good and right by many people because it is very expensive to trust. So always cultivate honesty so that it doesn't cause a fuss or fight.
Have you ever been in a position no longer trusted by others or can not trust others?
How should we behave if this happens to us, let it be, we will repay it, hate it, apologize and forgive
When we are not trusted anymore
A woman who only graduated from the *first school because she came from a poor family so she could not continue her education. She married from a wealthy family and husband graduated from a bachelor's degree. Because he comes from a poor family he is always humiliated, demeaned, as a son-in-law is not respected by his in-laws because he does not come from a rich family. Made like a servant in his own house, so he does all the work at home.*
*One day her husband had an accident and one leg had to be amputated. And they live in the in-laws' house (husband's parents) with another brother-in-law. Here, the insults of the husband's family are increasingly being considered as unlucky wives, poor wives, stupid and crazy daughters-in-law. Her husband could not do anything because he himself had become a disabled husband and could not do a good job. His wife has a hobby of reading and writing. Channeling his hobby is writing On-Line novels and he likes novels a lot. And she earns money from writing novels and she hides it from her husband and family.*
*From the money, the wife, who couldn't stand it anymore, wanted to get out of the house. They decided to move from the husband's parents' house to the wife's house which was small but appreciated and they were happily accepted. Finally, the wife told her husband she had money from writing novels and they set up a rice stall to make a living. Even his wife bought prosthetic legs for her husband all from the results of writing novels.*
*However, the husband's family did not stop bothering and insulting them. Even mentally damaging the husband considers a useless husband. So the husband became depressed and wanted to commit suicide. One day the husband's mother admitted to being sick and her husband, even though he had been insulted, still loved, cared for his mother and family. It turned out that his mother pretended to be sick and the wife received another insult for not wanting to stay at her husband's parents house.*
*One day his wife was slandered by her husband's brother-in-law saying that his wife had been cheating on him with another man. Because he was instigated, feeling he was useless as a husband, thought his wife was looking for another man. the husband believed and threw his wife out in the middle of the night. Even though his wife had explained the truth that it was a lie. The wife was hurt because her husband listened to other people more than she did and it happened twice. So, his wife asked for a divorce and the husband agreed. When, her husband found out that it was all slander and regret. His wife didn't want to go back to him and he regretted hearing someone else so she left him*
The story above is an excerpt from a novel that I read and is a true story. I was very carried away when I read this novel. How a husband accuses his wife of cheating just because he heard from a family that doesn't like his wife. His wife was disappointed and didn't want to go back. It means a wife who is no longer trusted and does not see the honesty and sincerity of the wife
In a husband and wife relationship, friendship, leader to the people, superiors and subordinates etc. Trust is the capital for continuity, harmony and peace in a relationship. Are we as victims or perpetrators so that a trust is broken. Then, everything will be destroyed and difficult to put back together
***Like a glass. When it breaks, you can fix it. But, you can still see the cracks, that's how important it is to maintain a trust.***
The story above, when the wife's honesty is no longer considered by the husband. If, he wants to step back in a relationship maybe that's a good thing. We have been honest and have said it is not as alleged. There is no need to be forced because pursuing other people's beliefs is not a priority. Keep up the honesty and pray and surrender to God so the truth will be revealed. Because the problem is with other people, not you.
Remain patient and consistent and uphold that you have been honest.
*Keep on living life even though other people don't believe in you*
*Don't fight because we don't have to force others. There's no need to force it like other people want.*
*Stay confident and ready with all the consequences if we want to back down. And it must be your decision and determination. If you suffer because of being accused and not being trusted anymore, go and let it go. Pray to God that one day the truth will be shown.*
When our trust is betrayed
When our position as perpetrators destroy the trust of others. Of course that person will be disappointed, angry, sad and hate us. What we need to do is sincerely apologize and show that we are sorry. If the person doesn't believe you, you don't have to force it. Just prove that you've changed and don't want to make the same mistakes. Hopefully, over time the people we let down will accept and trust us again.
We are betrayed
If, we are victims of the ugliness of others. It is impossible for you not to be angry, sad and disappointed and when the person is sorry. What you need to do to make peace with the situation is to find out the reason why he did it, forgive the person so that your heart is calm and happier, don't live with the image of hurt caused by other people's actions, convince yourself, give yourself a chance and try to believe again in the hope that you don't happen again.
Because the price of a trust. Whether we are victims or perpetrators, don't stop to spread kindness. Don't take revenge or justify what happened. Same with self-introspection and forgive us without judging the people who have hurt us.
Respect and trust cannot be asked for but earned. When we consistently show attitudes and behaviors that are worthy of respect and trust

Guarding the tongue (speech)
Speech if we understand its meaning is word for word in a series of sentences that have the intent and purpose expressed through the mouth. What is stored in the heart will be revealed through pronunciation. Some say that every word or speech is a reflection of the heart. A kind heart will speak good words. A bad heart will speak bad words too. The words that are issued either orally or in writing are the same. We need to sort out every word we say. Is it necessary to say, important, kind, polite, hurtful. Whoever we talk to, be careful what we say. If we can't talk properly, it's better to be silent
Control speech
Do we ever feel sorry after saying something? Was it on purpose or not? Or then we realize " I shouldn't have said that " etc. Whether we are an extrovert or introvert, we still have to be careful and control everything we do. Not everything has to be said, if it is deemed necessary to say. If not, it's enough for us to know. Or find someone who can be a place for us to talk and trust. Some say, 2 things we can't go back on time and the words we've said. Be careful, think before you do.
Criticize with kind words
In social life, not everything we, other people do or say can be accepted and accepted. This is our position to act Whether as a giver of criticism or as receiving criticism. When our position as a giver of criticism or reprimand. Speak nice, polite and don't give the impression that what other people do or say is useless. He says or does sincerely but maybe what he does is not what we mean. Reprimand well at least ask for permission and apologize that what he did or said was not like that. So that the person does not feel cornered. Learn to respect other people when he contradicts our opinion.
Your words reflect your personality
A wise man once said "The tongue is like a double-edged weapon". If it is used for good, it will surely bring blessings in his life. If he uses it for evil such as insulting, backbiting, cursing, etc., it will definitely bring havoc or bad things. Therefore, make it a habit in our daily life to think before we act. Many people can avoid other bad deeds but it is difficult to keep their words, that is precisely what can be the root of evil.
Who governs our speech? That is the heart. heart is like a king Meanwhile, the body parts, including the tongue/oral, are the soldiers. Will submit to all orders. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad.
***Yahya bin Muadz said: “This heart is a pot that cooks everything that is in it. And the word is the cover. So look at the man when he speaks. Because his tongue describes what is in his heart, the sweet and sour tongue will describe what is in his heart. Just as the tongue can feel the nature and taste of the food in the pot." Thus, the oral can be a mirror of a person's overall practice.***
Don't use your mouth to hurt other people
Watch our words at all times. The mouth is a mandate from God aimed at spreading goodness to others. Spread kindness not only with actions but also with words. Keeping speech should be an afterthought so that you are careful in speaking. Keeping speech is not an easy word, especially when it is controlled by emotions and anger. If you can't control your anger, a tongue with a bony yak can issue words in the form of swearing. These words can hurt other people's hearts and backfire on yourself.
Learn to make other people happy besides yourself.
Learn, even if only by keeping your mouth shut not to hurt the people around you. Trying to keep this mouth so as not to hurt other people's hearts because the pain that comes from the mouth may not necessarily heal, even with the word sorry. Because of the mouth, the body perishes. Because the tongue, without us realizing it can hurt someone's heart in silence
***Protecting the heart is as important as guarding the tongue. Because if a person has a good heart, good words will come out of his mouth. Oral reflects the cleanliness of one's heart. - Habib Ali Zaenal Abidin Bin Abdurrahman Al-Jufri***
If our hands are not able to invite goodness to our brothers. So use our tongue to always pray for others

Life is not as easy as flipping your hand
After I read the article from @Talecharm which really inspired me. Please open at this link.
https://read.cash/@Talecharm/i-am-wondering-about-the-hand-8403f9c9
She talks about the hand icon on the noise.cash platform. What is the purpose of the stop hand for the noise.cash platform. The creator of the hand icon was brilliant when it came to creating the hand icon. Noise.cash users must know that when we click on the hand icon, various posts from creative and great hands will appear from all over the world
All of it is the result of beautiful handwork. Great hands and thoughts. As @Talecharm put it from the saying "Beautiful hands are the ones that work". She reminds us never to be spammers and break community rules. And harness our beautiful hands with creativity and resourcefulness so that we will always embrace quality and original content on the platform.
So, as stated in @Talecharm's post. Great creativity comes from great and skilled hands. All of that takes process, effort, intention and hard work. Talking about hands I always remember when someone told me about how he was at the point of success and remained humble always said "this is not all that easy". When someone says that, it means that when he is at such a stage, it means that he has made all the efforts, struggles and all that takes a long time. And we who see and hear, don't immediately judge "it's easy" or "everyone can do it"
Have you ever heard "Life is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand". Turning the palms is a simple activity that anyone can do, even a baby. When we associate it with the philosophy of "it's not as easy as turning the palm of the hand" there is a deep meaning related to our lives. This means do not underestimate or take every job easy. Because everything you do requires a process, effort and time, even if it's only for a few minutes. It all happened from a skillful mind and hand
Life is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand but with the palm of the hand can change this life. God created hands to humans to create something meaningful for this life. Good hands will produce good. From the kind hands of a mother, giving peace when a child cries, even like sleeping pills when the mother's hand caresses the child's head when going to sleep. From the great hands of a father makes a child a successor greater than him and for this life. From the hands of architects to produce beautiful pictures full of meaning, From the hands of writers to produce beautiful writings full of inspiration or it could be from the hands of criminals to destroy this world
With the palm of the hand, we can make changes. With these hands how our lives will go. How this hand changed and created all. It's all just done by hand. There are only 2 choices.
**Hands for evil**
**Hands for kindness**
Hands for evil
We humans are naturally born pure. No one expects when we are born from the womb of a mother to become human beings, the destruction of this life. What makes us bad is our environment or choices. Do we want to be someone who always brings bad things to other people's lives? Taking what is not ours, whether small or large. An official who abuses his position for crimes to harm others only for personal gain. A husband who should care for and love his wife actually hurts her physically. A wife who does not appreciate and respect her husband's efforts. Parents who neglect or are not responsible for the lives of their children. Children who hurt and make parents' hearts cry From this hand, we should create peace, beauty, a generation that is good and not arrogant or become a bright generation that will make people smile. But this hand, the hand that is supposed to protect destroys and brings evil.
May Allah always protect us and our families from people who have hands for evil
Hands for kindness
Let's think about it together. From, this hand what have we made? From these hands what good have we done today? Do we use it with sincerity? The members of the body that Allah has created for us will be held accountable when we die or return to the owner of this nature. From our hands and other body parts such as feet, eyes, ears, etc., will be witnesses of deeds while still living in this world.
Our hands are a beautiful gift from God. We should be grateful and use it for good. The children we teach from our hands. Educate them to be children with good character, successful but not arrogant. With the hands that were created for us, we also use them to remember God, Allah the Almighty.
When starting or ending a good thing, don't forget to put our hands on his name and ask God for forgiveness. Thank him for the gift he has given us. And don't forget, use our hands to help others, no matter how small it is important to be sincere, help them. Make this world and everyone smile at the good deeds that we produce from our own hands. Although small or far from perfect. All, if done with sincerity all will be beautiful.
It is from this hand that we bring this world to be great, dedicated, knowledgeable, beautiful or vice versa from our hands it can also bring disaster and destruction to everyone. Well, what we do directly or indirectly, these hands can make people smile or get hurt by our actions
Life is not about who is the best, but about who wants to do good, who really works and who is busy with imaging. Try to persevere because everyone reads you with a different understanding and experience. Do not give up
Thank you to @Talecharm for your best writing
Cryptocurrencies; 3 Bitcoin Cash ( BCH) and 2 Bitcoin (BTC)
8 months ago a friend introduced me to something new to me, namely crypto and this word is very foreign to my ears. She asked, have I heard of crypto? Have you ever made money from your cellphone? Create posts but earn? That's the kind of question she asked me. While she talked about how she first got to know crypto. Obviously, I was very confused because what she was talking about was all new. Bitcoincash, that's the name of the crypto she introduced me to. Because she introduced a platform that generates Bitcoincash
Get to know crypto through noise.cash
After she told how she got to know this crypto. Finally, she introduced me to a social media but has an income, namely noise.cash. She slowly guides me, teaches me, gives examples, explains the conditions for joining noise.cash. At that time she had been with noise.cash for 6 months. Believe it or not I was really nervous when I first posted on noise. Even though the world of posting, composing is not foreign to me. I try to create the best possible wording and to this day, I have never been absent from posting. When I'm busy, I make time to post between 2 to 3. If I'm very busy, I still don't miss one post.
Here, I also got to know some good friends from my own country and abroad. Even joined in a telegram group to share if you have difficulty in noise.cash.
At that time, the price of BCH was still 9 million in Indonesian currency. After 3 months of joining, I've got the results but I have not sold. I want to just let it go. And who would have thought the price of BCH and all crypto would drop drastically. And savings are cut too. Trying to survive in the midst of the economic crisis that hit the crypto world until it fell again to 4 million, finally enjoying the results of the money that came out of the cellphone.
***How about you, when you first joined noisecash?***
Selling and withdrawal of noisecash proceeds, first time.
When I asked a friend who introduced me to Noise.Cash how to make a withdrawal. Turns out he didn't know how because when he pulled out his older brother did it. I taught myself by watching videos on youtube. Because the closest people don't know much about this. After watching the video slowly. Finally, I can and enjoy the results for daily needs and pocket money
***Are you also having trouble making withdrawals?***
Getting to know "Eldest brother" Noise.cash, Read.cash
As time goes by I'm getting happier and more enthusiastic about posting on noise.cash. One day, she said if she wanted to post even longer. Write an article on read.cash whose admin is the same as noise.cash. At first I didn't dare to join because there must have been great and experienced writers who had joined read.cash first.
Finally 5 months ago I tried to join and learn on my own. Because I don't know who to ask. I write as much as I can by reading a few articles. I do not know the rules of writing in readcash. I am self-taught. There are 7 articles that I wrote in English and my country language is Indonesia. And only 3 people who are friends with my account and 1 person who often comments on me.
So, I never opened my readcash account. Until one month ago someone from a noisecash friend suggested I join again. Finally, I created a new account and made an article and the results are also zonk. I thought, where did my article go wrong because no one guided me even a friend suggested I join again, don't even remember ever suggesting it. I did not give up, I tried to write again my second article about the activities at the school I teach.
After writing 2 days I didn't open a readcash account and I was very surprised, the second article I got a reward from **Rusty** up to $3 more. I was very moved, then I got acquainted with **Rusty**. It's true, I made a mistake or violated the rules of this platform. This is where I fix my article. I'm very grateful and continue to learn the best even though it's still far from good
Bitcoin Cash from other accounts
I read some information from google another Bitcoin.cash generating platform. I know game.bch but don't really understand how to play it.
I saw someone's post on twitter introducing a Bitcoin.cash earning platform. I made an account of it, but believe me nothing is as easy as noise.cash and read.cash. After creating an account, until today I never opened again
Recently, I also found a type of game that produces BCH, namely Free Bitcoin cash. This game is by turning the spin to determine the number. This number is what satoshi we get. Every Tuesday, if you have reached a minimum of 10,000 satoshi, it will be sent to our BCH address. So, I have 3 BCH wallets now.
Other cryptos
After getting to know Bitcoin.cash. I'm looking to find out what crypto is. It turns out that a lot of crypto names and the first crypto is Bitcoin (BTC). I'm looking for information about BTC too. Both are interesting and have their own advantages. For BTC, I earn from playing Group blings game
There are 2 blings games that I downloaded. The wallet I use is coinbase. I rarely play it and haven't got WD because for BTC at least WD must have 10000 BTC, it's more expensive. And I collect this just for entertainment only.
And I'm glad I got to know both of them. But, BCH is the most dominant because BCH is easier, faster and cheaper. This is my journey to know crypto. And at noise.cash I'm still loyal to posting and interacting. I've had my ups and downs in Noise.cash too. And also constrained in Freetip. But, I'm still excited, loyal here and it doesn't matter. Freetips haven't come back yet but I'm very happy if Freetips come back again so that I can share more optimally, share to posting accounts and it's good. Whatever, thank you for Bitcoin Cash.
I also thank my friends who introduced me to Noise.cash for the first time and some friends from noise.cash both from Indonesia and abroad who are willing to share and guide whom I cannot mention one by one your names.
***How about you? Do you have experience joining these 2 platforms for the first time? Do you collect other crypto?***

Ramadhan is the month of practice for the next 11 months
Still in the mood for Eid. As we know, Eid al-Fitr is a celebration for Muslims who have been fasting for 1 full month of Ramadan. In the month of Ramadan, we don't just fast, we don't eat and drink. But we also increase other worship and other practices during the month of Ramadan. Such as tarawih prayers, reading the Koran more, giving alms, praying at midnight.
This means that we worship more than other months outside of Ramadan. Because fasting alone is not enough to get reward from Allah. But we do other worship because the month of Ramadan has been promised by Allah to be multiplied by the reward. Even in this special month, we are still lazy to worship or do not increase our worship. That means, don't expect another month we will want to do it.
Now, the month of Ramadan is over. Has left us all. We hope that next year can still be reunited with the month of Ramadan. How have we been through the month of Ramadan together? Have we forgotten it? Do we still miss it? Was what we did in the last month of Ramadan perfect? Or is that nothing? Only worshipers who cry, are sad, miss the moment in the month of Ramadan. It feels like it's only been a day. Are we going to bring the atmosphere of Ramadan outside the month of Ramadan?
Ramadan month of practice
In the month of Ramadan, it is ordered for Muslims to fast not only to hold back food and thirst. The good that we do during the month of Ramadan gets rewarded and we have to take care of it. Fasting from being easily emotional and angry, fasting from giving, fasting from mocking and cursing, getting closer to Allah, reading more Al-Quran, filling a little activity for worldly affairs. We do this so that the fasting month is not in vain. We do it all, we try to do it because we remember fasting. That's what the fasting month is saying is a month of practice for 11 months of travel. What good we have done can we still keep it? If, we can't maintain it, then this fasting month or yesterday's Ramadan is just a formality
The month of Ramadan, the month of giving alms
Another good thing is that during the month of Ramadan, people compete to increase alms, give compensation to orphans, the poor, there are difficulties, we are diligent in sharing. How about after Ramadan is over, will we forget to help people in need? Are we going to compete according to our desires to eat at one restaurant to another? Will sponsoring also end? For many other reasons. We also give charity anytime, it doesn't have to be in the month of Ramadan
Small issue but very worrying
Another phenomenon that can make us afraid of our sins to God, especially to fellow human beings. There are things that are done as a Ramadan formality that actually use it as a business field to forget our obligations for this Ramadan. Busy pursuing worldly affairs so forget to collect good deeds during Ramadan. Can this be said to be the blessing of Ramadan or our passions are still in the future. When Ramadan we get used to it, force it so that it becomes a habit when Ramadan is over. Can this all become a habit? Can you, me and us keep it up until Ramadhan next year?
Don't repeat bad deeds after Ramadan
During the month of Ramadan, we know that we shouldn't do the slightest bad deed, for example, being annoyed, we will say "hey, don't be angry while fasting" if we are able to hold it in until the feeling of irritation disappears or subsides. Considering that we are fasting, if we do it, the loss of fasting, the reward is lacking and it doesn't even exist forever.
***Just like a student when doing an assignment if he is not careful when he does something wrong. So, the value will be less, if you are careful to do it then the score will be good even though it is not perfect or can get a perfect score***
This is what we strive for when fasting because ***according to Mr. Heri Kurniawan,*** a lecturer at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, a student of the Postgraduate Islamic Education Doctoral Program at the State Islamic University of Sunan Gunung Djati, Bandung, said via ***Republika.com.*** There are 3 levels of people who fast
Even though fasting is the same, not everyone has the same level of reward from Allah. Just like students do the same schoolwork but not all get perfect scores. The level of fasting based on the expression of al-Ghazali people who fast there are 3 levels, namely:
General
If a person only fasts by refraining from eating and drinking, but still committing immoral acts, then this is included in the first type of fasting. This type of fasting is practiced by most people. Therefore it is called general fasting (the majority). Because in general, they only understand fasting by refraining from things that invalidate the visible fast. The level of people who carry out fasting like this does not get (reward) anything from fasting, except only hunger and thirst.
Special
In contrast to the second level of fasting, in addition to fasting at the first level, it also prevents the ears, eyes, hands, feet and all members of the body from committing sins. Fasting like this is the fast of pious people. They know that fasting does not only restrain hunger and thirst, but refrains from committing immorality, as well as other vain and negative actions.
When fasting, they also keep themselves to always establish fard prayers, perform sunnah prayers, read the Koran more and give charity. Not doing backbiting (gossiping), namimah (fighting against each other), finding fault and exposing other people's disgrace, gossiping, slandering, and not spreading false news (hoaks) and so on.
Special for special
As for the third level of fasting, it is a very special fast, which is only done by certain people. In addition to fasting on the first and second levels, they also refrain from being humiliated in their hearts, thinking about the world, and thinking about things other than Allah SWT. So this model of fasting, the culprit always focuses his mind on always remembering Allah.
For those who fast in the second and third stages, then for him is the promised reward. They are promised that they will get forgiveness from Allah SWT, so that he will reach the level of a pious person as stated in the end of Surah al-Baqarah verse 183.
***" O, you who have believed, fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you so that you may become pious "***
What level are we at? All that only Allah and we know
Ramadan month of Education
If you mention the word education, it means that there is useful knowledge behind everything. Yes, Ramadan is the month of education. During Ramadan we are trained to discipline ourselves. From waking up in the morning, breaking the fast on time, praying, remembering to give alms. During fasting also train physical and spiritual health. Because during fasting we do not overeat if we overeat. Then, there will be indigestion. We, too, are tested in goodness, pious, strong, obedient, modest, speak polite and good language. We hope that the goodness we get during the month of Ramadan will make us better after Ramadan and that can only be had by people whose fasting is on the second and third levels.
