Philosophy of life from coconut trees
Nature is a work of God who has the power to provide many life lessons from anything and anywhere. This only applies to people who want to think. One thing we can learn to live wisely from coconut trees.
Who does not know the tree that has a high characteristic towering above. Do you know that from the way of life of coconut trees we can learn about life?
Let's see what philosophy of life is contained in a coconut tree
The philosophy of life of the coconut tree : The tree of a thousand uses
Why is a coconut tree called a thousand guna tree? Because almost all parts of the coconut tree are useful for humans. From leaves, stem leaves, trees, fruit etc.
Coconut leaves can be used as roofs, from coconut leaves there are sticks that can be used as brooms, coconut tree trunks can be made simple bridges, coconuts are beneficial for the body and from coconuts there is coconut milk which can be used for cooking and coconut shells can be used as a medium for burning fish traditionally. Every inch of a coconut tree is very useful.
What philosophy can we take? We humans should be like that too. Being human is useful, not human brings badness to others. Can be a useful human being for others. Both our words, thoughts and behavior are useful and there are benefits for anyone.
Coconut Tree's philosophy of life: Growing Tall To Seek His God
Trees that are tall and tall have a unique philosophy.
As a philosopher often says that there is a way to seek God, namely by finding God in his own heart.
Through the coconut tree, I hope this can also be used as a lesson, that a human being who grows taller and taller should not be proud of himself, but moves to continue to seek his God.
If the philosophy of rice is that the more it contains, the more it bends (it's in my article https://read.cash/@Ayusuju83/learn-to-live-better-than-rice-trees-010b30b1 ) then the coconut tree philosophy can also be used as a foundation in living life.
Be a human who is always useful for others. Move and grow up to seek knowledge and experience as much as possible.
Not to show greatness, but as a means so that it can be useful for many people in the future. Not many can think like that.
But this coconut tree philosophy can be an alternative reminder that truly everything in this world belongs to God alone, and everything that happens is according to His will.
Coconut tree life philosophy : Learn to live wisely
1. Beneficial from the leaf to the root
All parts of the Coconut tree have many benefits for humans. This symbolizes that human life must benefit from the various good elements it has. Coconut trees also throw away only damaged leaves, which means negative traits must be removed.
2. Adaptable
Coconut trees are also easy to adapt even in the midst of an uncertain climate. On the mountain or on the beach can stay alive. Humans must continue to adapt along with the development of the times and for all dynamics, as well as social changes in society.
Able to accept all differences without harming the environment. And humans must continue to benefit the people around them.
3. Fruitful
Once fruitful, the coconut tree has quite a lot of fresh fruit for consumption. It is likened to when we process it, it can provide benefits that are immediately felt by others. Not only the freshness that is felt when other people are close to us, but the benefits of being useful ourselves serve the environment.
4. Grow up
Live coconut trees grow steadily upwards. Growing up has a broad meaning. It's not a physical problem that has to be tall, but life must grow to take all the challenges that await every time we level up.
5. Strong against strong winds
When you are firmly in the top position, do not immediately become complacent. The higher the position we occupy, the stronger the strong wind that blows. Coconut trees are resistant to strong winds, because they have strong roots.
In a sense, we are already in the top position, don't let it falter and don't forget the principles of life that serve as the foundation or roots.
***God has created this nature with various benefits for all living things, including us, as the main creatures on earth, we should be useful creatures for all creatures.***
Indonesian dangdut music is a mix of music from three countries
Have you ever heard a genre of music with a mix of music genres from three countries?
***Dangdut*** is music that contains these 3 elements. Dangdut is a musical genre from Indonesia which is an assimilation of music from Malay, Indian and Arabic. This music is very booming to foreign countries. The music that gets a touch of classic Indian and Bollywood songs is so loved by Indonesian people. In the context of social integration, dangdut music can unify people from various groups. So that dangdut can be accepted from all walks of life.
Early history of dangdut music in Indonesia
https://youtu.be/fyOwuLETFVs
**Rhoma Irama's song "Pertemuan (meeting) 1995** https://youtu.be/fyOwuLETFVs
Initially, dangdut was a genre of Indonesian music which contained elements of Hindustani or classical Indian, Malay and Arabic music. Dangdut music is rooted in Malay music and began to develop in the 1940s. From year to year dangdut music began to become a culture in society. So that dangdut music is known as the "Malay orchestra".
Then, dangdut was influenced by Indian music through a Bollywood film performed by ***Ellya Khadam*** with the song "Indian Doll", so that it was born as Dangdut in 1968 with the main character Rhoma Irama. In Indonesia, ***Rhoma Irama*** is given the title of King of Dangdut.
**( Rhoma Irama is the king of dangdut music in Indonesia )**
***( Ellya Khadam was a pioneer of dangdut music through Bollywood film 1968 )***
Meanwhile, Ellya Khadam was a pioneer of dangdut music through a Bollywood film entitled Indian Dolls in 1968. Since then dangdut music has been very well received in Indonesian society with a blend of other musical genres, namely Arabic and Malay.
Dangdut musical instruments

Over time everything can change
1 year ago when I first joined noisecash. Introduced by a friend who introduced me to NoiseCash trying to get to know the readcash account. I taught myself how to use this platform not being guided or taught. The basic soul of liking writing is in me from my teens until I grow up. I wasn't confident when I started joining here. Trying to write on readcash, I'm even confused about what topics I should cover here.
I assume that readcash only writes and discusses crypyto because there are many readcash accounts that consistently discuss Crypto and BCH. Meanwhile, I've very little knowledge and knowledge about crypto and trading. Being on the noisecash, readcash and noiseapp platforms is like a pleasure that brings sustenance in terms of work, earn, take, snack. Writing on readcash is like selling
That's the world of crypto for me and readcash one of them has come into my life.
3 readcash accounts
1 year here I have known On-Line friends from all over the world sharing their experiences, stories, knowledge, thoughts and they I learned is one of the friends who is very open to sharing and even paying attention to my writing, thanks for your support me. And for @Mudi_M97 who don't get tired of asking each other about the shortcomings of our articles.
I see it and I feel it, there are many good friends that I already know on the readcash platform that I cannot mention one by one.
The first readcash account
( Source image from SC )
This is my first readcash account, I can mention it as a failed account. Here I write with 0 knowledge of how to write on readcash even in the income that I receive in this account no more than $ 0.10 it may be lacking in only 7 articles so I back off and I think that writing on readcash is very difficult to compete with.
After a few months later, a friend at Noisecash at that time invited me to write on Readcash. I even didn't want to go back because I thought and thought that Readcash was very difficult to reach.
The second readcash account
( Source image SC )
One day my friend from noisecash said readcash is now easy. Finally I created a new account and this second account was so beyond my expectations that I even really didn't believe in myself. Tried the first article on the new account but failed to detect Rusty and maybe I don't know about Rusty here yet. Then I tried again to write a second article and was very surprised by the results I got in this article. Rusty finally visited until Rusty announced he was leaving the platform or stopped sharing gifts as usual. Even when I joined the second account, many friends from noisecash joined and got a lot of support from Rusty and Freetip at noisecash.
When Rusty left I also took a break for 2 months only occasionally appearing on the platform just to like some articles without writing articles. Many friends have also left the platform, there are some who are loyal to the platform or continue to write even without Rusty. I focused on the real world, which is my profession as a teacher, because at that time at school, it was difficult to share time for writing.
I'm just channeling my new hobby of reading other people's works, namely reading novels and paid On-Line News, meaning that just reading can also earn pocket money. Even though it cannot be denied that readcash is still in the heart.
The third readcash account
( Source image SC )
A few days ago I read a friend's post on noiseapp that Rusty was back, so I finally tried to open my readcash account but failed to log in. I don't know what happened I tried many times until I tried to change the new password but failed too. I am very sad and disappointed that this account failed to open. Do I have to create a new account again? I gave up on that account, finally I came back with a new account, some friends seem to be back with a new account, still trying to work on the old account, it still fails. Until I just focus on this new account, Ayusuju83 is the name of my new account. My accounts all use the name Ayu at the beginning because that's my nickname. From @Ayukyukyu , @Ayukyukyu2 and now @Ayusuju83 is a new account with the same people but a new look. And I'm grateful that Rusty visited my new account for new articles on the new account, even though it's not as fancy as my second account. I'm still grateful to Rusty for the support and several readcash friends who are loyal to my writing.
New readcash after Rusty came back
( Image Screenshot )
After two weeks I focused on writing because I had free time while observing the fasting of Ramadhan I remembered last year's fasting I also wrote with my second new account. Really my journey on the readcash platform was full of ups and downs I call it like that. And I was also shocked and confused by the readcash platform after Rusty came back. Failed to enter the readcash page for up to 24 hours. I'm wondering if my account is in trouble again?
Looks like a page update! And a display full of surprises and different. There are a number of changes that I noticed and I feel like all of my friends are experiencing them. From the page when writing an article the editing icon no longer appears to click on the sponsor icon and the initial change cannot display an image when writing an article, only the lead image can.
And now the appearance of the profile page has also turned smaller and the lead image only appears a little.
Do you like the new look of readcash? I'm sure friends who have just joined will be confused and my friend also sent a message to Telegram asking what happened to readcash and asking if I'm still writing?
*Readcash is indeed extraordinary in giving surprises, like Noisecash often updating pages so that noisecash changes to Noiseapp. I miss Noisecash and friends at Noisecash who return to real life a lot, I hope they are always in good health wherever they are.*

Longing to visit the Baiturrahman mosque
It doesn't feel like it's the last time I visited one of the largest mosques in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. This mosque is named Baiturrahman Grand Mosque. Located in the westernmost province of Indonesia, namely Aceh and this mosque is also in the city of Banda Aceh. The mosque which is the pride of the Acehnese people and the icon of the city of Banda Aceh. If you visit the city of Banda Aceh, it won't be complete if you don't come to this mosque.
One year ago my family and I came to Banda Aceh for medical purposes and had the opportunity to come to the Baiturrahman mosque to pray and try to capture some of the beautiful moments of the Baiturrahman mosque. To be honest, when you enter the mosque it feels very cool and certainly very beautiful. I pray in this mosque, I want to feel like I don't want to leave the mosque because it makes us feel at home in it.
Baiturrahman Mosque was strong during the 2004 Aceh earthquake and tsunami
**( The condition of the mosque during the 2004 Aceh Indonesia earthquake and tsunami )**
Do you still remember the Aceh Indonesia earthquake and tsunami that occurred on December 24, 2004 at 8 am? which has destroyed the entire city of Banda Aceh and has killed as many as 120 thousand victims and can also be felt in 11 other countries including Malaysia, Thailand, Maldives, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India and several other countries and killed as many as 250 thousand people.
But what really amazed me was when the building collapsed all the objects were swept away by a very powerful tsunami wave due to the magnitude of the 9.8 on the Richter scale earthquake. But not with the baiturrahman mosque, it is very strong, no buildings have collapsed or been damaged, and what really can't stop thinking is that all the rubbish, even corpses lying scattered about, were swept away by the currents of the stun waves, this mosque remained sturdy, and some even made the mosque a shelter and many survived while they were inside. this mosque.
The design of the baiturrahman mosque is very beautiful, magnificent and elegant
( In this image my family and I visited the baiturrahman mosque last 2022 )
The Baiturrahman Mosque has done a lot of renovations to make it as beautiful as it is today, especially after the earthquake and tsunami disaster hit Aceh, many donors wanted to donate to this mosque. And the architectural style of this mosque was inspired by mosques in other countries, such as Saudi Arabia, India, Turkey, Spain, etc. Even the gate when entering the courtyard of this mosque is Dutch style. Even the materials that were built in this mosque such as floors with white marble from Italy. The architect who designed the new Baiturrahman Grand Mosque was a Dutch army captain named Gerrit van Bruins.
( The Replica of the Baiturrahman )
Because it is so beautiful and majestic, the architect of the mosque is made a miniature
The replica of the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque is located in the world's largest miniature park called Minimundus Park in Klagenfurt, Karintia, Austria. The building on the replica looks very similar to the original. This miniature uses a 1:25 scale.
A short historical story about the baiturrahman grand mosque
( Image of mosques that have undergone many renovations )
This mosque was first built in 1612 during the reign of the Aceh sultanate by Sultan Iskandar Muda (1607 - 1636). Another history says this mosque was founded by Sultan Alaidin Mahmudsyah during the reign of Sultan Nurul Alam (1675 - 1678).
From the various differences in the year it was first established. The Baiturrahman Mosque was burned by the Dutch during the war between the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Aceh in 1873. To quell the anger of the Acehnese people. The governor at that time led by general Van Lansberge promised the people of Aceh to rebuild a new mosque
Finally, the Netherlands fulfilled its promise. And the laying of the first stone to rebuild the Baiturrahman Mosque was carried out in 1879 and completed in 1881 with one dome and one minaret. And declare Aceh and the Netherlands at peace.
The people of Aceh had rejected this mosque because it was built by the Dutch because it was considered an enemy. In the end, this mosque became the pride of the Acehnese people. Then the minarets and domes were added in 1936, 1958, 1992. Currently the mosque has 7 domes and 8 minarets.
So, the baiturrahman mosque has a long history for the people of Aceh, especially Indonesia, in defending Indonesia's independence at that time
*I hope one day still given the opportunity to visit this mosque because of the location from where I spent up to 6 hours.*

Family as a source of character education for children
Continuing the discussion of my previous article about implementing character education in children which must be done from an early age and that starts from home. From the parents and the closest family of the child then he will bring it into his social environment. Or he will get from someone else. Like teachers at school as their second parents, friends and to be able to live so that this child remains in a positive understanding, we must instill these positive traits starting from home. Because people or their home environment is their first teacher. We should be able to give positive thoughts, positive traits so that he can become a generation of smart, bright and good character.
How is the implementation of character education from home?
Character education efforts through the family environment can be carried out in at least 4 ways, namely:
**Exemplary**
Exemplary in the educational process is part of a number of ways most effective means of preparing and forming a child morally, spiritual and social. Parents are an ideal example in the view of children
whose behavior and manners can be directly imitated and applied in everyday life. Parents become teachers as well as models learning for children in the process of character education in the family.
**Habituation**
The growth and development of a child's character begins with habituation things that are good in nature. This is of course to maintain physical and spiritual balance of the child.
Character habituation in children is not will appear suddenly but slowly, gradually character it will grow and stick to the child so that it becomes a child part of the child's personality.
**Advice and Punishment**
Advice is a guide from parents to children when there is discrepancy between the child's attitude and the value of the character that should be held.
Advice given by parents to children can be a benchmark and open new thoughts for children and can encourage them children to improve themselves after making mistakes in behaving and behavior that is inconsistent with character values.
In addition to giving advice, we can also apply punishment to children when they do something they shouldn't do. Giving This punishment is certainly educational in nature and creates a deterrent effect on children don't do anything you shouldn't. The penalty can in the form of reprimands, silence children and also give corporal punishment educational in nature.
Advice and punishment play a role to give a picture to the child about all our attitudes and behaviors.
**Motivation for children.**
Encouragement or motivation from parents really supports progress children in showing their existence. Without motivation from parents, the child will have difficulty developing or not as good ability.
Thus, parents must provide motivation positive or constructive in children so that children remain confident and stick to what it's meant to be.
But also must underlined that excessive motivation is like too indulgent children, too hard, overprotective and others can reduce children's motivation to achieve and the child feels unhappy because the pressure is too great from the parents, so the child retaliates in a destructive way for break free from parental pressure.
These methods are carried out in a good pattern that is repeated continuously and takes place consistently.
How is character education in the family?
Character education in the family is a system that instills character values in children in the family that contain components of knowledge, individual awareness, determination and the will and action to implement good values towards God Almighty, oneself, fellow human beings, the environment and nation.
The earliest character education in children is obtained in the family environment. So that family war becomes the main factor in shaping the character of children. The family can greatly influence behavior as well as the way its members interact with others.
In other words, family is also a person's character that can be formed properly. Especially the moral character and behavior of a child.
How does the family influence the formation of character?
The family environment plays an important role in the formation of children's character. If a child grows up in a loving family environment, then the child will grow up to be a child who is cheerful, cheerful and able to control his emotions well. The role of the family is the main capital for implementing character education in children so that they are brought into the community later.
As for basic character education in children that we can start from forming good children's character, it is necessary to have character education values in the family environment, including :
Religious
Honest
Tolerance
Tolerance is the attitude and action of respecting differences in religion, ethnicity, ethnicity, opinions, attitudes and actions of other people who are different from themselves.
Discipline
Hard work
Creative
Independent
Democratic
Curiosity
Spirit of nationality
Love motherland
Love the Motherland, namely a way of thinking, behaving and acting that shows loyalty, caring and high appreciation for the nation's language, physical, social, cultural, economic and political environment.
Appreciate Achievements
Friendly/Communicative
Love peace
Like to read
Likes to Read, namely the habit of providing time to read various readings that provide virtue for him.
Environmental care
Caring for the Environment, namely attitudes and actions that always strive.
Social care
Responsibility
The Purpose of Character Education in the Family
An important goal of character education is to facilitate knowledge and the development of certain values so that they manifest in children's behavior.
Another goal is to build personality and noble character as the basic capital in living in the midst of society, both as religious people, as well as in the life of the nation and state. Character education teaches, fosters, guides and trains students so that they have character, a positive mental attitude, and commendable morals.
Final thoughts
When these positive character values are already well-known in the child and there is already habituation to take positive actions in the family environment. So, when the child is in the general public environment, the values that have been embedded will not be left by the child. Even in the community environment, the child is easily accepted by the community because good values are instilled in the child.
***The characters taught in the family environment prioritize behavior practices, speak good words, walk politely, not be arrogant, obey and respect parents, say excuse me when passing other people, want to say thank you if given or receive something from others and done with the right hand, don't hesitate to apologize if you feel guilty to others, throw trash in its place, and so on.***
Therefore, every family is expected to apply positive character values both in the family environment and in the general environment. All success and success comes from a warmth in the family which is taught through example from all family members.
***The success of children is something parents are proud of, parents will feel happiness that cannot be explained in words, and for children, all they have to do is feel how important the role of the family is.***
Application of character education to children from an early age
What is character?
Character is a set of traits that are always admired as signs of kindness, virtue and moral maturity. Etymologically, the term character originates from the Latin character, which means character, character, psychological characteristics, character, personality and morals. Another understanding is that character is quality, mental strength, morals or character which is a special personality as a driving force and differentiator between one individual and another individual.
In the view of religion, a person with character is someone who contains potentials, namely :
a. صديق ~ true
b. الأمانة ~ trust
c. فطانة ~ smart
d. التبليغ ~ conveyed. The meaning of every knowledge obtained, I hope he is willing to share and is not stingy in knowledge and honest in conveying it.
Meanwhile, according to educational theory, character is when a person has cognitive, affective and psychomotor potential that is actualized in his life.
Is recognizing someone's character important?
Strong character makes a person strong and stable. This is very important for the nation and the life of the nation. Because this decision involves high personal integrity. This integrity is important to form with character education so that it can be high.
Human character can be divided into four types:
****Sanguinis****
Sanguine is the most common type of human characteristic. Sanguine people have personality traits such as the following :
Loves fun
Optimistic
Active
Tends to be extroverted
Have great energy
Easy to get along with others
****Melancholy****

People who have this personality type are thinkers and perfectionists. Apart from these characteristics, melancholic people also have other characteristics, such as :
Very detail
Tend to be introverted and introverted
Can be aggressive at certain times
Anxiety when in a new environment

Do we need to know and understand character in children?
The answer is absolutely and must be. By understanding the character of each person, of course, it will make us careful in behaving, including to people who are known not to just pretend to be familiar and so on, because the way everyone is accepted is not always the same. Because every individual has a different character, especially the character in children, we need to address it so that we can direct the existing characters.
At a child's age, character needs to be directed, which is called character education. Educational character is a form of human activity in which there is an action that educates and is intended for the next generation. The purpose of character education is to form continuous individual self-improvement and train self-abilities in order to lead to a better life.
5 Examples of Character Education that Can Be Applied to Children
Religious. Religious character refers to the teachings of the religion one adheres to and prioritizes living in harmony and tolerance.
Environmental care.
Discipline.
Tolerance and respect.
Honest.
Implementing character education for children from an early age is important. Early age is the golden age; that is, at this age, children have quite rapid brain development so that all forms of education provided can be digested quickly and easily.
This is why forming children's character from toddlers will be easier and will become a strong foundation until they grow up later.
Final Thoughts
In addition, implementing character education from an early age also has many benefits, namely :
Shaping Children's Good Character
Preparing Children to Face All Life's Problems
Provisions Before Entering the Social World
Instill Leadership Soul
Getting used to good behavior
This is why choosing a suitable school for young children is so important. Basically, every school for early childhood has a learning program that focuses on developing children's abilities in terms of motor, cognitive, social-emotional, language, as well as religious and moral values.
*Above all, the role of parents and family from home becomes the first school for children...*
The tradition of cooking meat welcomes the holy month of Ramadan
Various unique ways for each country to welcome a special day or month for certain circles. Like the Muslim community around the world, they have unique ways of welcoming the holy month of Ramadan. Apart from being physically and mentally, we also don't forget that there are traditions that are still being carried out to this day.
Like what happened in my country Indonesia especially in the westernmost province of Indonesia namely Aceh. We have a tradition that has been around for a long time, even since *****the time of Sultan Iskandar Muda (1607-1636).***** We call it the Meugang tradition. The Meugang tradition is the tradition of cooking meat and enjoying it with family, relatives and orphans. Meugang is also carried out before Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
Cooking and eating meat may be normal but if you cook it on a special day it will feel different. Many meat traders will emerge to make a profit from this meugang tradition. And the price of meat will usually be higher than usual. The price of beef this year is 180,000 rupiah or $12. And parents will try to be able to buy meugang meat for their children.
And I was also busy cooking meat for the family this morning. I cooked beef rib soup and beef curry. Cooking beef bone soup is something you can't miss because this dish is a favorite of my family, especially my children. You like to cook bone soup, you can follow my recipe :
**Ingredients :**
Beef ribs 1 kg
Potato
Carrot
**Spice :**
Garlic
Red onion
White pepper
Candlenut
**For spices :**
Clove
Withered
Bay leaf
Tomato
Celery leaves
How to make :
The beef bones are cleaned first with lime juice and salt. Then boil until the gravy is thick and the beef bones dissolve for 5-7 minutes.
Then drain the bones and wash thoroughly so that the fat content on the bones is slightly reduced and the gravy is not too fatty.
Then boil the bones again later for the cooking process. Next, grind the spices and stir-fry with a little oil then add the stir-fried spices into the sauce while stirring until the spices blend together and dissolve. Next, add salt, lemongrass, cloves.
If the meat on the bone is slightly loose or almost tender. Add potatoes and carrots. Continue to cook until the gravy is cooked.
Turn off the heat, finally add the chopped tomatoes and celery leaves.
Beef rib soup is ready to eat
**What are the traditions in your place when welcoming special days and months?**
Definitely unique, exciting and fun. And tomorrow, Indonesian time, the Muslim community will carry out the first day of fasting and tonight is the first tarawih prayer, hopefully all of our good deeds will be accepted by Allah.
***Welcome to the holy month of Ramadan for my Muslim brothers, hopefully always in the protection of Allah.***

Preparation for the Holy Month of Ramadan
Just counting the days, Muslims all over the world will welcome the holy month of Ramadan. The month in which all Muslims will undergo fasting for 1 month and worship tarawih prayer as a sunnah worship during the month of Ramadan.
To welcome the holy month of Ramadan, of course we have to prepare everything from our physical, mental and spiritual health so that the month of Ramadan that we are about to live can go well and get reward from Allah SWT
What needs to be prepared when welcoming the month of Ramadan?
If physically we need the body to be healthy and strong, mentally we will need a sincere and sincere heart.
In addition, there are several other things that must be prepared by all Muslims to welcome the month of Ramadan.
**Preparing Faith in Each One**
Starting from practicing controlling bad habits in daily life, increasing worship, and other things like this can make faith stronger.
When the month of Ramadan is near, Muslims must ensure that their obligatory worship is carried out properly, for example praying five times a day. In addition, start getting used to quitting smoking as well.
Because, smoking is one of the bad habits that must be avoided during fasting.
Meanwhile, the needs for sahur itself can include groceries, cooking spices, snacks, and sweet foods such as dates. That way, later sahur activities can run more smoothly and easily.
**Deepen Knowledge and Knowledge of Religion**
Preparation for the second Ramadhan is to deepen knowledge and knowledge related to Islam. Start to learn some things that can be done and not done during fasting.
Before performing fasting from sunrise to sunset, Muslims are advised to have sahur first. Sahur can make a person's body feel stronger to withstand hunger and thirst during fasting.
In fact, people also need to prepare worship equipment that can be used during the month of Ramadan.
Meanwhile, the needs for sahur itself can include groceries, cooking spices, snacks, and sweet foods such as dates. That way, later sahur activities can run more smoothly and easily.
**Prepare Better Mentally**
Not only must be prepared physically to welcome the month of Ramadan, but mentally in each individual must also be prepared as well as possible.
Because, it would be nice if we welcome the month of Ramadan with a sincere heart and a clean soul.
To get a calmer heart, one can begin to draw closer to Allah SWT by increasing worship.
By increasing worship like this, the heart can become calmer and fasting can be carried out more easily and pleasantly.
**Get in the habit of doing good**
Basically, the month of Ramadan is the month in which the rewards and blessings in every Muslim are multiplied. So, they are encouraged to do various good things during the month of Ramadan.
However, not everyone is accustomed to these benevolent activities. Therefore, they must start getting used to doing these activities long before the month of Ramadan arrives.
Some positive activities that can bring blessings during the month of Ramadan are giving charity, visiting orphanages, and other activities like this.
Not only that, Muslims can also learn about good and correct procedures for worship in accordance with Islamic law.
**Paying Last Year's Fasting Debt**
Paying off last year's fasting debt is preparation for Ramadan for Muslim women, because women are given waivers not to fast first when their menstrual period arrives.
The reason is, one of the conditions of fasting in Ramadan is purity from menstruation or the postpartum period. Fasts left earlier can be paid for by making up the fast.
**Start Training Yourself to Resist Lust**
Fasting is an act of worship in Islam which is carried out by holding back one's passions from sunrise to sunset.
**Create a Nutritious Suhoor Menu Plan**
Sahur that just like that will definitely make someone more easily bored.
Therefore, one of the preparations for welcoming Ramadhan is to make a meal plan that is full of nutrients, so that the nutrients in the body can still be fulfilled properly.
**Drink plenty of water and exercise**
So that we are physically able to fast during the month of Ramadan, drink lots of water and exercise regularly. In addition, start getting used to taking vitamins regularly as well.
Because, the body will need more nutrients during fasting. This happens not without reason considering that during fasting we are not allowed to eat 3 times a day and drink water every hour.
**Do Hospitality to Close People**
To welcome the month of Ramadan with a sincere heart and a clean soul, Muslims can stay in touch with those closest to them.
That way, the feelings of annoyance, anger, and sadness that they have been feeling towards that person can disappear instantly.
Basically, the month of Ramadan must be welcomed with a heart that is free from envy, envy, and grudges, so that this gathering can make Muslims have a cleaner soul to welcome the month full of blessings.
*Are you ready to welcome the holy month of Ramadan? Hopefully in the holy month of Ramadan this year is better than last year. For you Muslim friends, congratulations on the holy month of Ramadan 1444 Hijri*
The 2022/2023 local wisdom themed school project was successfully implemented
Last Saturday, the school where I teach has successfully implemented the latest learning curriculum school project, namely the independent curriculum. The independent curriculum for school learning in Indonesia is a curriculum designed by the government and first formed in February 2022 as one of the Merdeka Learning programs to improve the quality of learning. The Merdeka curriculum focuses on essential material and on developing the character of the Pancasila Student Profile. One of the independent curriculum programs is to make school projects with various themes. This year's school project theme is about local wisdom.
Was it a school project?
School projects are project-based learning, which is learning that uses projects as media in the learning process to achieve soft skills, hard skills, and character. As a worker, of course you often hear the word project and often even get involved in it. The project itself is actually an attempt to produce goods or services and lasts for a while. A project certainly has a beginning and an end. So, for 2 school years we made school projects with different themes.
The first year is about the global climate change project for turning organic waste into compost. And the second year is a school project with the theme of local wisdom from utilizing various plants to become medicine and introducing snacks typical of our country, Indonesia. This project was introduced to produce a product. So, yesterday was the last activity of the school project. The theme of the second semester project is making snacks typical of Indonesia
For about 3 months we carried out this project with the students. This project is carried out every Saturday in 10 meetings, starting with introducing students to how to instill Pancasila character in students. The so-called Pancasila students
***The characteristics of Pancasila students include***
***1) Faith, piety to God Almighty and noble character***
***2) Independent***
***3) Collaborate***
***4) Global diversity***
***5) Critical reasoning***
***6) Creative***
Then tell their goals in the business world, design their dreams in doing business etc. Doing business is accompanied by good character as a businessman later.
The last project school activities
Last Saturday was the last activity after doing design and observation activities. We, teachers and students, practice what we have designed, namely making traditional snacks from our country to produce products, all of which are students who work under the guidance of the teacher.
The cake we made was sponge cake. Sponge cake is a product made from wheat flour or other types of flour with the addition of other ingredients to add nutrients which is processed by steaming or baking. All the ingredients needed to make this product or cake from the stove, cake ingredients, oven, mixer, etc.
The cake we made was banana cake. So cake with banana flavor. All students enthusiastically did it even though they experienced a bit of confusion when we directed them. The thing they like the most is when mixing the dough. You can see their activities in the photos of the school project activities below.
We do it until we produce all the products until it's finished and continue eating together
The cake we made and the results of this activity will be displayed in the exhibition of the Pancasila student profile project in June later entitled market day all the product video images that we have made will be displayed later and assessed by the head of the driving school Because not all schools are doing this project only drive school. Mobilizing Schools are schools that focus on developing student learning outcomes holistically by realizing the Pancasila Student Profile which includes competence and character that begins with superior human resources (principals and teachers).
Ingredients for making banana sponge cake
You like to make snacks, especially cakes, please try our typical country cake, baked banana sponge cake. Because this cake is also steamed, here's the recipe and how to make it:
***6 Cavendish bananas***
***6 eggs***
***200 gr of sugar***
***250 gr of flour***
***1 tsp baking powder***
***200 ml melted butter***
***1/2 tsp vanilla powder***
***Cooking oil 50 gr***
How to make
***1. Break eggs, add sugar, baking powder, vanilla and mix these ingredients until fluffy or white like ice cream.***
***2. Wait for the melted butter to cool for a moment then pour the cooking oil into the melted butter.***
***3. Bananas are roughly mashed***
***4. After the ingredients in the mixer expand, add flour, bananas and melted butter. Stir all ingredients until well blended.***
***5. Pour the dough into a tin that has been greased with butter and sprinkled with a little flour.***
***6. Then bake for about 45 minutes.***

We hope that our experience in carrying out this project activity can add to the knowledge, insight and abilities of students not only in the field of science but also in business science to produce products including one of which is making snacks typical of their own country.
A piece of the story of a loyal and obedient cat
Who doesn't know a living creature or animal named cat? Almost all humans love cats and even become one of the favorite pets. Even the Prophet Muhammad also liked cats.
This time I want to tell a unique and adorable behavior. This is not my cat but the cat of the teacher I teach at school. This cat is called Abang because this cat is male but has a very soft heart.
Do you know that I took this photo of a cat at school because I was teaching ?because it followed the owner of this cat to school and I was very surprised and amazed how he could follow you all the way to school school. Indeed, my teacher's house is not far from school.
Finally, she tells how this cat got to school and some of the cute things he does at home.
So, the cat's owner's house is behind the school and it's just blocked by a wall and there's no way to get in and out except for climbing the wall, LoL. So, when my co-teacher goes to school, she has to take another route, which is to cross the main road or take a detour and go a little further.
The first time I got to know this cat was when my fellow teacher called the cat and actually I often see this cat but don't know the owner of this cat. i think this cat is a stray cat on the desk in the teacher's office. the owner said "You can't get on the table because your feet are dirty and amazingly he obeys. This photo I took of this lovely cat heard his owner and didn't get on the table.
When he (the owner of the cat) called "Bro" he immediately approached him, I was shocked and I asked whose cat this was?
My maintenance cat "answered my colleague".
How could that be? i was amazed and asked again "did you bring it"?
"No, he walked alone through the wall of the house towards the school wall,"
Oh my God , I am so amazed, will he follow you while teaching?
No, he just sleeps here and doesn't disturb and sleeps under the owner's desk, isn't that cool?
Cute and loyal right?
Then my colleague again said that when he wanted to go home, the owner of this cat just said, ***"Bro, let's go home"***. Then they go home together but with a different route, the cat passes through the wall while the owner of the cat takes the main road. And what is certain is that this cat arrived home faster, right? and he said when he was at home, when he called "bro, come in but wash your feet first and the child who owns this cat also has a son who is also called "brother" as if when this cat is called bro it's like a son else in this house.
Currently this cat has an ear injury, as a result of fighting with this school's wild cat, even though the other cat is smaller than my big fat cat, because domestic cats are different from wild cats.
*Do you have a unique story with your pet?*
From his story we can see how we treat other living things well, so that they also feel love from us as humans.
Learn to live better than rice trees
March, 17th 2023
There are many things to learn in this world, one of them is learning about life and everything in it.
Life is all about learning. Continue to study wherever and whenever to prepare yourself to become a better person.
We can do better in many ways as long as it starts with good and noble intentions.
This time I would like to describe how we can live wisely through nature, one of which is from rice plants which produce rice which is the staple crop of mankind. Rice plants that are planted from seeds to stems always benefit others until the end. Can we be useful people for others until the end of our lives?
This is our duty, don't just sit and sit without effort. Look for anything on the face of this earth, it will surely open our eyes and minds to the many meanings of the contents of this earth.
Do we want to learn to live better through rice science?
The thicker the lower the more knowledgeable the more humble
Can we digest from the wise saying of the words above. The more content it means the rice that contains is like a high knowledge that we have got from not knowing anything until he understands all great things and can produce. Getting down means describing a person who is not arrogant and humble even though he becomes a great person.
Isn't this wise word suitable to describe the philosophy of rice plants.
Look at the paddy field when it's time to harvest, which means the time that the farmers look forward to the most. The morning stems that were planted had not become anything until finally the rice could be used, the rice stalks were bent and lowered. All of that has become the nature of rice.
Shouldn't that be an example for our lives?
5 Philosophies of Life You Can Learn from Rice
1. The more it contains, the more the rice will bend
2. A small grain that can meet the needs of many people
3. Clever adapt in various planting locations
4. Maintain the cohesiveness between humans
5. There is no instant process to get big benefits
This could seem to give an important sign that in fact there is a long process that needs to be passed by each grain of rice before it is finally ready to be harvested. Like humans, there is a long process to success, because nothing is instant, so keep trying to pursue that goal.
It turns out that rice has a lot of important life lessons to be learned. This can be advice to apply in everyday life.
Be like Paddy.
"The more it contains, the more it ducks, don't make it a fire, the more it burns, the more it goes up"
Guava is rich in antioxidants
This afternoon I got fruit from my co-workers, which is a very refreshing fruit, namely red guava which is ready to eat. The color is yellow and the content is red. Fragrant guava is also very fragrant. When I got home, I made juice and drank it right away. With very hot weather drinking a glass of guava juice is very refreshing.
Did you know that red guava contains a lot of vitamins and is good for health, especially when you have a fever or after a dengue fever. And guava is highly recommended. One of the vitamins contained in guava is vitamin C and everyone knows that vitamin C is useful as an antioxidant.
Antioxidants are molecules that can slow or prevent the oxidation of other molecules. Antioxidants are compounds whose job is to neutralize free radicals and inhibit oxidation so that the body is protected from various kinds of degenerative diseases and cancer. Examples of natural antioxidants include vitamins C and vitamin E.
Antioxidant function
Antioxidants play an important role in protecting the body from the effects of free radicals which can cause various diseases. The body will naturally produce free radicals as waste substances from metabolism. You may not think that enzymes are included in the class of antioxidants
Lack of antioxidants, one of which can cause premature aging, easy to get sick, body condition begins to weaken. Not only that, a lack of antioxidants can raise the risk of dangerous diseases such as cancer and heart attacks.
Mangoes contain lots of fruit that contain vitamin C, papaya apples also contain a lot of vitamin C and guava has a lot of vitamin C too. Not difficult to find guava, especially in Indonesia. Guava is known for its high vitamin C content. In fact, it is one of the highest compared to other fruits.
In 100 g of guava fruit contains 228 mg of vitamin C. High vitamin C helps maintain the immune system, which can help prevent us from contracting infectious diseases caused by bacteria.
The same goes for its antioxidant content. Not surprisingly, this one fruit is often used to prevent cancer, especially breast and prostate cancer.
Sufficient for our bodies with enough vitamins, one of which is vitamin C and guava, I recommend that we consume it every day
