Happiness will always belong to those who are grateful. Do you agree?
Are Happiness and Joy the same?
If we compare the description between happiness and joy. Based on the concept of definition or understanding between the two, it is an emotion in which a person has feelings of satisfaction, pleasure, and positive feelings. Well, in the sense that these two emotions both have their own satisfaction, but these two can be said to be different from one another.
Happiness is a pleasant feeling that is shown by enjoyment, satisfaction, excitement, and others. In my opinion, happiness can be shown by various characteristics such as respecting yourself by having self-confidence, being optimistic about everything, being open to other people who need help, being able to control yourself in controlling your life, whether good or bad.
Happiness is also an emotion that brings a positive aura to face every thing in the life we live. Often we feel this emotion when we are getting some good news, something that makes us happy, and so on.
There are many characteristics that describe that we are experiencing happiness or feeling happy itself. Happiness can lead to a sense of optimism and openness, people who are happy will be able to respect themselves more and be able to control themselves
Well, while what is called Joy is a deeper happiness or joy. In the context of Joy, this is more towards gratitude for the blessings given by God.
So, Joy has a deliberate meaning with the expression as someone who is grateful for the blessings that God has given us. Joy can be characterized when someone is very happy and grateful for the good news they get.
For example, if we hope and ask the authorities about deep hopes or desires, then these hopes are granted and we feel happy, excited, and deep gratitude that is what is called Joy.
The Key to Happiness with Gratitude
There is happiness, of course there is something called sadness. Sadness is one of the most common emotions humans experience. Sadness arises because of a ranged mood. There are also several factors that influence sadness such as the physical environment, changes in atmosphere, conflict, and so on.
Besides that, sadness can also occur because of the loss of an object, someone we love, getting a test, disaster, etc.
Continuing our talk about being grateful. The meaning of being grateful is very broad and in this context it can be said that being grateful is the main key to happiness.
Why is that? When we are always grateful, life will feel lighter, without always wanting other people's lives that we might think are good. Gratitude is a condition in which we are grateful for all the blessings or gifts of the almighty God in the form of health, common sense, assets that have been owned as entrusted and so on.
In fact, we don't really know the concept of being grateful, many people still feel lacking in something and compare it to others.
If we want to be grateful then look at those that are lower than us, don't look at those that are higher than us. This will greatly affect the context of the word grateful. Seeing people who have more things will only make things worse or a feeling that is covered with envy and envy.
Whereas if we look at people who are more below us, then with the lack of that person we will be more aware of the many other blessings that have been given for us to increase our gratitude.
So, from gratitude we will continue to feel happy because we are not covered in jealousy, greed, and greed. Maybe that's a bit of an article on the theme this time, hopefully it's useful and don't get bored learning and keep reading, see you next article...........
The Magic of Routines
How do we achieve success? Yupsss. . This is not a new question we have heard. We must often read on Android phones or hear in various training activities about how to achieve success. Why? Because everyone wants to be successful. Anyone wants success in completing what you want to achieve, right? Either in a fast way or can go through a long process.
Success is the need of every human being. When we are in school, we want to get high test scores. If we are in a race, we want to be victorious. If we work, we want to be successful. That is human
On this occasion, let's see how routine can work miracles, namely success.
**What's a routine?**
A friend of mine told me that he always wakes up at 4:30 am. At 05.00 he takes a shower and has breakfast. At 06.00 he will go to work. That's how he spends every morning.
He is at work he starts working at 07.00 and works until 10.00. He would take a little time off to rest in the office park and be back at work at 10:30. At 13.00 he goes to the canteen for lunch and returns to work from 14.00 to 17.00. That's what he does in the office every day.
At 18.00 he came home. After taking a shower and having dinner, he will read a book and reply to messages at 20:00. At 21.00 he ended his activities by sleeping.
At first he said that he was tired of what he was doing. He plans to quit and find flexible work.
But how surprised he was when he was named the best employee of the year. By doing the same thing every day, he can carry out the assigned task to the best of his ability. As a result he got promotions year after year. That's routine.
**Routine and time**
Many people think that procrastination is a good thing. Maybe we've been given a task with a certain deadline. At first we started working but then we thought that the deadline given was still too long so we just postponed it.
We let it. Just when the task needs to be done, we are overwhelmed. We have to work overtime until the early hours of the morning. Finally our health becomes disturbed. That's generally how humans treat time.
Time is the greatest resource we have. Time is our wealth. We can do many things at once so we can produce many things.
Routine means we use time as the greatest resource for success. We divide the time in detail our daily activities so that all of our time can be used to achieve success.
**Love routine**
Routine is not something foreign to our ears. Routines are an expression of our own desires. If we love ourselves, we will manifest that love every moment through the routines we design.
Time is a friend and lover. Time is our most faithful possession throughout our lives. Through routine, we care about our friends and love our time. We show our love in time.
By loving time through our routines, we also become concerned about our own health. We are no longer burdened with rush situations. Everything is orderly and under control. With this, we avoid stress and our minds become healthy and positive.
**The Magic of Routines**
All innovative works of all ages happen in time. All scientists make the best use of their time to research and produce a work. There is not a single piece of evidence in this world that can confirm that a life of disorder and procrastination can enable a person to produce great works. Precisely through the implementation of a strict routine, a masterpiece can be completed.
If our life is orderly then there will be success. People who practice diligently will be proficient in this skill. Routines make people grow continuously. That's the magic of routine.
Qatar Takes Advantage Of Its Title As Host Of The 2022 World Cup to Preaching
Qatar is a country located in the Middle East with a Muslim majority. Qatar is also the first Islamic country to be appointed as the host of an international football competition. As the host of the 2022 World Cup, Qatar does not waste the opportunity to carry out da'wah to introduce Islam to foreign tourists.
Qatar has spent a lot of money preparing for the 2022 world cup. But not just for football, but also for da'wah. Da'wah is not only done in mosques or schools, but da'wah can be done anywhere and anytime. Qatar has shown this, by preaching through international football matches. How did Qatar do it? Check out the following reviews.
**1. Imposing Islamic religious rules**
During the 2022 World Cup matches, the government of Qatar imposed a religious ban on Islam which football spectators or visitors from other countries are not allowed to do. Some rules that are not allowed are free sex, LGBT, drinking parties, and not making out in public places.
Even though many parties criticized and cornered Qatar, the Qatari government remained firm in implementing these rules. Qatar's interior minister, Abdullah Al Nasari, stressed that they would not convert just for the 28-day event.
Outside the scope of religion, these prohibited activities do have a negative impact on the surrounding environment. An example of drinking while watching a football match has the potential to trigger emotions for the drinker. The big impact would be to start a fire of chaos in the stadium.
**2. Introduction to the teachings of Islam**
The Qatari government is also trying to introduce Islam to foreign visitors or tourists. Qatar has distributed murals and posters containing hadiths or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad SAW about mercy, alms and good deeds.
Apart from the murals, there are also QR codes posted in every hotel room. The QR code contains the teachings of the Islamic religion in various languages. Hotel visitors can access the QR code if they want to know the profile of the Islamic religion.
Qatar's state endowment ministry also opened an Islamic religious exhibition packaged in various languages.
Not enough with that, the government of Qatar through the Qatar Quest Center prepared a team of 2,000 people to carry out da'wah and was tasked with answering visitors' questions about Islam. Qatar Quest Center allocates 10 traveling cars and 10 special tents for da'wah facilities.
Qatar even brought in preachers and lecture experts from India, namely Dr. Zakir Naik. He was brought in to deliver preaching and religious lectures to introduce Islam, as a form of Qatar's program to host the 2022 world cup.
**3. Introducing Islamic culture**
Because the majority of Qatar's population is Muslim, it indirectly introduces Islamic culture to visitors. For example, the hijab is used to cover the genitals for women and clothing that is Islamic in nature, such as the robe. In addition, visitors also have the opportunity to visit Islamic buildings such as mosques or visit the Museum of Islamic Art.
**4. The stadium has an Islamic nuance**
Qatar placed a microphone in the stadium for the call to prayer by electing a muezzin with a melodious voice. Apart from reminding Muslims of their obligation to pray, the sound of the call to prayer has the potential to entice non-Muslim visitors so they don't miss the majesty and beauty that the call to prayer echoes. In addition to microphones, the Qatar stadium is also equipped with a place for ablution and prayer for Muslims to fulfill their obligations.
*Qatar deserves a thumbs up. Even though they were appointed as the host of the international competition, they did not forget to preach and introduce Islam to the world. Qatar does not abandon its religious teachings just for the sake of profit, instead they are increasingly spreading da'wah through this golden opportunity. Hopefully with the 2022 world cup taking place in Qatar, Islam will become more widely known and show its existence in all corners of the world.*
Friendship Cluster
It must be admitted that from elementary school to college, we have gone through many friendship dynamics. Gradually, we see and understand that we can't always fit into certain social circles. There are only one or two things that make us incompatible.
However, there is also a circle that actually opens us to be more able to interpret ourselves. This article was not created with the intention of generalizing one or two circle of friends or making one circle of friends better than another. Rather, it is intended to explain my interpretation of the reality of the various associations I experience.
At the level of higher education, at least we all have a broader awareness than the previous level. We begin to understand the realities of life that we have never seen before. It also more or less influences us in making decisions about our circle of friends.
Some need active friends to become their circle of friends, some need social status as a condition to become their circle of friends.
Yes, maybe the example above can be right or wrong. But clearly, there are certain requirements that we sometimes make consciously or unconsciously.
There are certain conditions that are often made based on our judgment of something. I give my opinion because honestly, I unconsciously create this condition to filter my circle of friends.
Everyone has their own motives as to why they include some of these requirements. But what is clear is that this is a choice that they choose on the influence of their own consciousness.
In college, people who are abroad are faced with new differences. For example, differences in culture, atmosphere, and even differences in the ethnicity of some friends.
This also makes the circle of college friends quite unique. We will find differences that we have never seen before, try to understand new things and give a little tolerance to promote a better friendship.
A person's background also makes us more or less have certain expectations of a friendship. It's not about how long we've been friends, but how many moments that might make us define ourselves.
Gradually, I began to think that the circle of friends was not only meant for laughter, but more noble than that. Not also as a place to bring down one person with another, a gathering event is also able to improve the quality of each person in every meeting.
Perhaps, the meaning of the word increase does not mean to show better productivity, but rather to increase self-esteem.
If I quote the words of my friend, there are two types of themes, namely:
1. Friends who encourage us to move forward
2. Friends who encourage us to come back
Indeed in practice, we can not see too black and white this problem. Sometimes a compromise is needed which might actually strengthen the friendship.
Because yes, there is basically no final theory in the context of this friendship. After all, in the end we will also meet people who are outside our "circle". Whether happy or sad.
The Meaning of Life's Journey
Life is a competition, a common expression that some of us believe. Actually, I didn't really agree with this expression. When we think of life as a competition, we tend to want to be winners, we always want to be the best. I used to disagree that life is a competition because we will never know what kind of life process we will face in the future. we don't even really know what we are aiming for and the race in life. If we can then achieve goals other than the temporary satisfaction of being slightly superior to others.
As time went on I saw the fairness of why some people see life as a competition. We live in a world not only alone, we also cannot control how other people behave. There is a tendency that makes us look at the achievements or lives of others and makes us feel like we have to compete in life. We have a time limit. When everyone has a target and it seems that other people living side by side with us are also aiming for the same target, this makes us tend to feel like we are competing with each other.
I think it actually starts with comparing ourselves to others. If we do not compare ourselves with others, of course we will not think that life is a race, but it is impossible that we never compare ourselves with others. The only way to stop comparing with others is to take a break and understand that humans are born, grow, develop, and return to different places. Each of us is unique, by stopping for a moment we can see things clearly.
Well, let's say we agree that life is a race but not a sprint race. Life is more like a marathon that we have to take care of how we can regulate our breath and speed in running. Pausing or taking a break is a strategy in marathons as is life. We'll see what we've achieved and been through up to now, then we're grateful for that experience and make it a provision to start today and the next.
The human life cycle consists of many things starting from us being born, growing up, then we meet the person we love, but then that person suddenly leaves our life. Then after that we meet again with people, after that we stare at a house, build a family, until we finally pass away. It's not a cycle we can avoid. We then raise this topic in the series "Life Cycle" as a representation of humans themselves and from birth to death.
In the middle we get lessons and meanings that are equally beautiful. The essence of each episode of birth, we tell that when we experience adversity sometimes we find new hopes that we find new hopes that we can find and create a new birth for ourselves.
The story that we take his friend is very simple but we try to lift it from a side that is rarely discussed. like discussing friendship, sometimes there are things from friendship that make us feel down or maybe the people closest to us have deeper mental health issues that maybe there are people closest to us who have mental health issues. we want to invite friends to look at mental health issues more deeply that maybe there are people closest to us or even ourselves need help. What needs to be done is to help by understanding more deeply that the people around us need help. Its okay to seek help and help each other. We hope that this series will become a spark for discussion, that mental health issues or perhaps taboos such as abortion or other topics are usually discussed in the public sphere. So that people can open up to each other, so that we can connect with each other with a meaningful connection.
Become an Interesting Person
We must have a friend whose presence is always awaited by everyone because after all he always attracts attention. Granted, maybe not everyone is born with the ability to liven things up. There are also those who naturally have their own charm and then maybe some of us wonder, how to be an attractive person in a circle of friends or work?
Many people can do, the main thing is to add insight. Some may strive for that by reading more books, checking the news on social media, trying to talk and make friends with more people, or maybe watching more movies and series. The goal is that more material can be discussed when meeting with other people, both those we already know and those we don't know.
Then the next question is what does it mean to be an attractive person in society?
Some may interpret it as an individual who has lots of interesting facts or funny stories to share. There are also those who will understand him as someone who can always read the atmosphere in the group. You are free to have your own understanding of being an attractive person. Anxiety that usually accompanies is whether we continue to be ourselves or even force ourselves to be a human figure who will be considered attractive to others.
Basically everyone is interesting in their own way. Sometimes we don't even realize that we may actually be attractive to others without having to force ourselves to like things we don't really want. When a person really likes a game, for example, he or she will voluntarily find out every detail in the game world. Of course when talking to people who have the same interests, he will be considered more attractive.
When you may find yourself unattractive or it may be difficult to fit into the group. It could be that all this time you have been too focused on being someone you think will be more accepted by others. In fact, by being honest with yourself, and starting to dare to express what you like more, you will eventually meet a group that may be more accepting of you.
If you are currently experiencing anxiety about feeling unattractive to the people around you, and trying your best to become someone else to be more accepted, remember that this is a very tiring path.
When the time comes, we will surely find a place where we can be accepted and considered with the things we basically like. Until now, don't worry too much about trying to be someone else, keep trying to be honest with yourself while continuing to explore the potential that has actually been entrusted to us.
Hopefully we can be given an environment that can make us believe that we are attractive with different colors..
Learn to Know Yourself
Earlier this year, there were many incidents that seemed to weigh on me. Both mind and body. Slowly but surely I accept all the shortcomings to realize panic attitude will not produce any results. Gradually I feel I can control it though not 100%. Session after session of self-improvement I live to be able to improve myself from time to time. But it turned out that all the solutions I needed were within me. I have to be close to myself and recognize it. So that whatever is felt can be a lesson to be addressed appropriately.
But as it turns out, as I get to know myself, I find that the more we learn, the more confused we become. It's as if I don't know what's in it. Keep going round and round in questions whose answers can't be found. I realized that self-awareness cannot be forced and should not be a target like deadlines at work. It turns out that our bodies and minds have their own way of understanding and relating to one another.
Gradually I began to understand the process of self-recognition. As my teacher always said, "Man cannot exceed the limits he can. What man can try is to act and think properly". Recalling those words calmed me down for a moment although later I remained in the initial position of seeming confused by the circumstances in the journey of knowing myself. The process has become more difficult for me when the leader in my work has left. I woke up to the fact that it wasn't good to be too comfortable in something temporary. This condition then forced me to get up and try new things while continuing to adapt to the new environment. Environment outside of the previous comfort zone.
Of course before being accepted, I had to do a lot of rejection. But finally I thought to be able to position myself like water that follows the shape of its container. Adapt to the environment I live in today. Slowly, I try to be able to take positive things from every situation that I experience. It's not easy, but I don't think life will always be easy. It takes great effort for a change. Once upon a time I tried to have silent discussions with myself to try to understand each other. There is no other sound than mind, heart, and body. Somehow I feel that this body really needs to be fully embraced by its body and soul so as not to feel alone in the face of everything that is being lived.
Of all the ways that have been tried. Even absorbing from the teacher's guidance, I will not know myself. All means outside the self are only media, guides, supporters. The only one who knows the beauty of ourselves with all our attitudes and traits is ourselves. We just have to accept whatever happens by discussing it with ourselves. If someone can come and go to affect our lives, at least we can still embrace the body and soul to be able to survive and stand firm in the face of whatever it is.
Believing in yourself is the key to everything that is experienced, whatever the conditions and in any way. Even during a pandemic like before. As well as I. Everyone who has lived a pleasant or painful life, all provide lessons for this soul to be able to live a better life. For that I thank them for such a valuable lesson.
Can We be Unconditionally Happy?
In theory, humans can be happy unconditionally.
But in reality it is different. The human brain needs a reason to feel a feeling. Including feelings of happiness.
Every day we think a lot about grandiose happiness. Want this, that, many wishes. As if there is no end to our desires. Watch YouTube, scroll social media, Instagram, Twitter, tiktok. Continued Tokopedia, Bukalapak, Lazada, Shopee, Alibaba, and so on. The longer we stare at the screen. Then it will add to the turmoil of overflowing desires. The more we feel we have nothing. Unfortunately the internet is already fully supporting our wishes.
We start to feel jealous, envious and feel rivaled. As normal humans, we don't want to be labeled as old-fashioned and out of date. We start planning to fulfill all our desires. Although sometimes it makes us forget the real needs.
Oh envy, why is your faith so tempting. Can't you go away from me I want to live a quiet life without the shadow of all kinds of desires.
Life is like heaven. Full of unlimited enjoyment, imagination and hope.
If only we could tamper with our feelings like playing tetris. Maybe we will not be this confused in determining which desires must be fulfilled first.
The problem is that a feeling of intense desire has robbed me of inner peace. Logical mind is defeated and the victor is the lust for possession of everything on earth.
Humans will only be able to easily achieve happiness if the applicable terms and conditions are met. The more complicated the terms and conditions we make for our own happiness, the more difficult the path we take towards a happy life.
Luxury house, if possible on the third floor. We have a villa, if you go on vacation you don't need to rent it. Most of the money is used to build five-star hotels. There are still lots of funds, traveling the world to remote parts of Africa. Don't know next door neighbor, no problem. As long as on social media looks like royalty with endless treasures.
A classy career, lots of stocks, buy a football club. We have a famous name, a frightening reputation and are candidates for government representatives. What power does not need to work anymore, money flows like a waterfall from heaven. The flowing sediment profile is sufficient to feed the community in the district.
How much longer? Let the sea answer it.
Now is now, tomorrow is tomorrow. Today wishes must be fulfilled. Anyway must!!
All right, if it's like this. What else can we do?
For ordinary people can only surrender to watch from the television screen. People with joged joged money get paid. While the poor live laughing from the tenement.
In my opinion, unconditional happiness is bullshit. If I want to be honest, Every happiness has conditions. Therefore, if we want to easily achieve happiness, we make simple terms and conditions. So that we can be happy more easily, cheaply and affordable.
That's approx
Endless Fun
What is your definition of happy? Whether happiness can be shown by facial expressions or by behavior. As for the variety of happiness that people have in the way they express themselves.
Happiness can be created because of the achievement of a problem or satisfaction that has been achieved by someone so that they want to express it in their own way.
I think that happiness can be felt by everyone without thinking about the slightest problem so that those who are happy will not be burdened by these problems.
Moreover, if they think that happiness is the achievement of everything then it cannot be expressed in anything, that is what is called true happiness.
There are many people who express or define happiness by having a party or celebration like that so that it becomes a sign of the enjoyment that has been achieved.
In my opinion, people are free to celebrate whatever the name is as long as it doesn't cause problems for others or is the same as looking for new problems. When a friend has found the happiness you mean, it's the same as being happy with what you want without any burden on your mind.
I think happy people are free, yes, the way they are happy is how they do it with pleasure, as long as it doesn't harm other people who involve them.
Because when happiness comes at once we don't need to think about the existing problems, because the problems will make the happy go away. There are some problems that can be solved depending on how we can deal with them ourselves, so from our own point of view how can we solve those problems.
How to see a problem so that it can be solved without stressing us out?
**The first** thing we have to do is how to make ourselves calm so that the problems we think about are not too heavy in our heads and can lighten up what we think a little.
**Second**, we try not to be indifferent, because that doesn't solve the problems we face.
**Third**, let's try to solve it first if there are smaller problems, because from small things we can learn how later we can face big problems.
Thus when serious problems come, we will get used to it so that it is no longer a burden on our minds, and it makes us happy because the problem is gone and we can feel the happy process.
Moreover, happiness according to the definition of each person is certainly different, depending on how the person or who runs and feels it.
Reallizing a Dream is more Beautiful than just a Dream
**Dream**
Dreaming can be interpreted as having a dream. Dreams can be about anything. Want to have a house, have a car, have a lot of money, and so on.
Surely it's great to dream of everything we don't yet have. As long as there are no rules that limit dreams, everyone can dream anything.
But dreams must come true. If it's just a dream without any action, it's just an empty daydream. So the beauty of the dream is precisely in working hard to get what you desire.
**Not forbidden to dream**
Everyone can dream anything. As long as the dream is reasonable. Reasonable in the sense that it can be reached with mind, energy, and financial condition.
But sometimes there are people who do not care about these limits. In the end, we call him a reckless person. It doesn't matter, if the determination is still on the right track, it's not the origin of the action without a definite calculation.
**Reason for dreaming**
What happens if one cannot dream of something? His life must be empty. No fighting power. Though life is an effort to realize the ideals. Well, that ideal is a beautiful dream that must be realized.
And in one's journey to make dreams come true, it can be called the time span of proving human existence. There was a lot of sacrifice there; a matter of time, thought, energy, and material.
**Everyone can dream**
Because of its universal nature, everyone can dream anything.
Because of this freedom, a person sometimes does not see the ability.
People can hang their dreams as high as the sky, but they must understand that their feet are on the earth. This awareness must be maintained so as not to fall into a dream without the desire to realize it.
**Choice**
Maybe one day we are given a choice about dreams. **First**, Live for the dream. **Second**, dream to live.
The correct choice is the second option. That life begins with a dream. In other words, a dream to live.
Dream anything, up to you! But keep in mind, those dreams must be fought for. Life does grow out of consequences. If you don't want to make your dreams come true, then don't dream. Don't make life like a wastebasket where you throw away unproven dreams.
Worse if informatics is not worth the personal pleasure!
Worse if informatics is not worth the personal pleasure!
The death of caring among young people care today creates a gap between each other, especially with the family. However, if left untreated, it will have a negative impact on family, friends and future generations.
The death of caring among young people's is certainly caused by various things. One of them is bad at managing smart phones. It is very common for us to hear that children today are controlled by technology.
In this article, let me try to give an opinion on why caring is rarely found among young people. I try to argue that in the current environment during high school, young people rarely discuss simple things such as how to manage waste properly and other forms of concern.
It is very minimal for young people to voice their concerns, everything has been filled with the rapid development of technology, as I have described above about the poor management of smart phones among young people. This is the starting point of the gap between young people and their peers and their families.
Common causes of gaps between parents and children.
**Differences in needs and tastes**
The era of parents and the era of youth is very different. The developments that keep coming back and forth, starting from culture, how to dress and so on make the needs seem more and more. Of course, it is natural that the longer a culture is being renewed. It's just that it makes it unnatural when it doesn't match the portion.
What culture is appropriate for that portion?
The culture that kills concern is the tendency to use smart phones.
Today's technological intelligence is so high that every use of it cannot be separated from the smart phone from his hand.
The real evidence is how many hours each person uses his smartphone regardless of work. Moreover, young people have not worked as if they are already as busy as a manager.
This is based on the fact that today's technology makes all the needs needed by young people are in the cellphone.
**The difference in lifestyle**
It is natural that each of us follows the times. This is evidenced by the way they dress and many other things. Of course we know that this is the way it should be. But what's interesting is why they are more concerned with their lifestyle than the actual life. Getting confused? Let's discuss them one by one.....
• Let's review backwards how many people in this world manipulate themselves to look rich and follow the new era or in simple language is to be accepted in social.
• If we observe that young people are more concerned with their social life than their future. It can be seen from how they process their smart phones (set the time).
• Lack of willingness to learn. If we review again, very few young people want to open their textbooks.
Here are some facts that today's young people are more concerned with their lifestyle than their lives.
**Different point of view**
Of course, the way parents and young people think is very different, for example, nowadays there are so many jobs that we find in various media, it is very easy for people who master the media to get information about work.
They can even create their own jobs, starting from YouTubers, vlogger content creators and many other things. This has given a different view, if in the past parents had to work hard but now what is needed is smart work.
It is undeniable that young people grow faster than older people, it's just that the shortcomings that are still not visible are how young people manage their time.
Conclusion
**That's how it is for me, there are so many things that make things change quickly. But this can be seen in detail how the causes of the gap between parents and children occur.**
It is possible that young people's control over smart phones is worse because of the lack of time for family.
Enough of my arguments.
Thank you
Why Should We Dress?
Clothing, basically created to protect themselves from the heat and cold air. In addition to covering aurat that is inappropriate to be shown in public.
In subsequent developments, apart from being a cover for the body, it is also an aesthetic tool for someone to look trendy and glamorous following current trends.
At first humans were inspired by the creatures around them who were born to get their skin as well as their clothes. Even in past civilizations, bark was used as a cover, such as the koteka to cover vital organs in Papua for men and tassel skirts for women.
The ancient humans who inhabited the earth's settlements used animal skins as they were. They skin various animals such as goats, tigers, wolves, and so on, and use them as their clothes.
In subsequent developments, clothes made from various fabrics from cotton were made into threads, then woven into sheets of cloth that were ready to be shaped into various clothes. Until modern civilization, woven fabrics are still made and traded at quite fantastic prices.
Currently, clothing is not just covering the genitals or protecting yourself. However, it has become a basic need, has become a commodity, and is produced in large quantities. Various garment companies exist to meet the needs of human clothing. Starting from pants, shirts, skirts, underwear, sports clothes, work uniforms, tenty uniforms, even baby clothes.
From the clothing business to human needs, apart from sewing machines, tailors also gave birth to fashion designers.
Materials for clothing also move dynamically. We know different types of clothing. Starting from cotton, wool, polymer, Dacron, and so on.
Each country has its own characteristics regarding customs and dress traditions that adapt to certain situations and conditions, where these traditional clothes sometimes only appear at certain times, for example for traditional ceremonies.
And in our modern life, nowadays people prefer fashionable clothes. Simple and easy to use. For example, for casual events at home, wear t-shirts and shorts. And when out wearing jeans and a shirt. Sometimes people also pay attention to color, according to their respective preferences. For women with bright and men tend to wear plain colors.
I personally don't have much of a collection of clothes. In fact, I still keep clothes from years and sometimes I still wear them. I'm one of those people who have old school tastes. Lol
When traveling I prefer to wear cotton shirts that don't make me hot. And cover it with a jacket. For formal occasions or attending weddings, I usually wear batik or a white shirt.
**So, clothes are not a useful investment item. Because clothes, no matter how expensive they were when they were new, would eventually pile up into useless old rags. Except for clothes in bridal makeup as a complement to the wedding reception which is rented out for the wedding.**
What is clear as normal human beings we still have to dress. Because politeness means respecting yourself. Good clothes will make a good impression. And bad clothes will give a bad impression.
**By the way, how many closets do you have for your wardrobe?**
Life is Private Property, not Common Property
**"If we don't understand, it's better to be quiet."**
Maybe we often say this sentence when other people start to interfere with our life problems. The habit of criticizing and judging others seems to be our responsibility and we justify it. Even though it is clear that we know that life is actually everyone's privacy, not to be exhibited let alone judged or criticized so that we can experience or feel how painful it is when trials come to us.
This looks trivial but it really disturbs someone's comfort in being together. If we can't be the solution to other people's problems, at least we won't be pollution to them. We don't need to know everything about other people, there's no need to judge let alone corner. It is enough for us as listeners to not laugh at them and we sufficiently appreciate their existence without condescending because we are far from perfect.
There is a wise saying that says **"Whatever you want others to do to you, do to them too"**. I hope we all understand what the laws of nature are, without us realizing that the time will come for us to reap what we sow and that is how it is. We will receive according to our deeds.
This became a real experience for me, when I got a new assignment, namely starting an assignment in the world of lectures, there was a friend who always commented on my abilities. His comments were striking and seemed to be true. Maybe if anyone who hears these comments will think negatively about me. However, I ignored that comment because I think the life I am currently living is my life, and God's grace is sufficient for me to complete this study process. I fought to the last point until I graduated with satisfactory grades and on time. So what about other people's comments? The answer is "Let it go", let reality answer all those questions.
After I finished my studies, I was immediately assigned to one of the foundation schools. I also got the job of homeroom teacher at the school. Teaching is indeed my main task but on the sidelines of time I take the time to develop my talents, one of which I became an editor for a school Chanel. It's not an easy thing but thanks to my perseverance, I can run it well. Although the results are far from perfect.
This experience on the one hand makes me proud but on the other hand I want to make other people open their eyes wide to one's abilities. Maybe in one area I can't, but in another I can. I don't mean to embarrass a friend who has commented harshly on my abilities, but thanks to the achievements I've earned, I managed to embarrass and blush. If you could say we are not competing, but let's show a more mature attitude, let's complement each other, let's share with each other, step together so that we can achieve the goals we hope for.
Through this little experience I want to say that we live in the same world but keep in mind that life is not shared. We can't just ruin other people's lives. Life is a private space, let other people manage their own life like this and so on, let others arrange their life the way they want. Every now and then we can interfere in other people's lives but that does not mean the opportunity is a space for us to publish it.
It's better for us to be quiet about other people's lives and maybe that's wiser. Moreover, if we do not understand about their lives, we do not need to be busy to find out. Let other people and their God take care of all the problems of other people's lives and we take care of our lives so that we become better people. Sometimes we forget to improve ourselves because we are too busy fixing other people's lives. The others had already advanced ten steps while we remained in place.
So, let's keep ourselves busy to fix ourselves and take a little distance from busyness to take care of others. Hopefully we can be a wiser person.
May be useful.
Human Nature and Character (he said) Cannot be Changed
Talking about human nature and character which he said could not be changed. It's interesting for me to share my opinion on this. Yes, although I am not a competent person to discuss things related to psychology.
The thing that made me interesting and wanted to express my opinion, was because previously I had coffee and chat with my partner, namely talking about human nature and character that cannot be changed.
The two of us have often gone together just to have coffee and enjoy the beauty of the city. But on that particular day, it was the two of us who usually sit back and relax. Discussing this, the sitting position became straighter like a board member in a meeting. Lol
I have the belief that human nature and character can be changed, while my partner is adamant that human nature and character is external, it cannot be changed.
We insist on each other because we have strong reasons for each other, one of the factors is the things we have been through and we have different judgments to deal with life.
Previously, I started with the meaning of nature and character.
Nature
If you follow the KBBI dictionary, properties are the appearance and condition of an object; outward sign.
Character
While the characters of the KBBI are psychological, moral, and character traits. or character that distinguishes one person from another.
If I conclude it means the nature and character of a person's behavior in living his daily life, whether it's addressing and solving a problem in life.
Why do I believe that human nature and character can be changed? Because these two things are formed not solely genetics, but from the environment, the association in which we all live.
I take the simple thing first, a dog can be loyal to his master, not only a dog will be loyal and obedient if the dog does not undergo the process of being trained to obey. Another simple thing, the existence of an elementary school, the rules at home that as long as we were small were regulated by both parents. What is the goal for? Yes, shape our nature and character so that later it can be directed better.
Humans who make changes in themselves will usually show several things that mark the changes, namely:
• Awareness to change comes from oneself, not persuasion from others. Strong motivation from within is a person's main capital to change.
• Confess all his actions and no longer deny, blame others, or make excuses for the violent behavior he has done in the past, either by apologizing or compensating for certain losses due to the violence he has committed.
• Accept the consequences of his actions.
People who have a hard nature can accept if the people who have been victims of them keep their distance from them. They will not actually get angry and vent their frustration, but respect the decision and try to continue to improve their attitude to show that they are in the process of changing for the better.
• Have other ways of controlling emotions.
A change in the way you respond to and vent your anger, no longer by using verbal or physical violence, can be a sign of real change.
I myself believe that human nature and character can be changed, the strong reason is the things that I have been through as far as possible, from failure sometimes we can make ourselves change for the better, as long as we can take the important values in these bitter things, and certainly will not be instant, there is a process for all changing human nature and character..
A few opinions from me. Again, this is just my opinion enjoying the self-improvement process. It's not just nutrition that needs to be improved, we also have to improve our nature and character.
We can Rest but don't Give Up
Talking about the rigors of life, of course, each of us has different experiences and views. In addition, those of us who come from poor living backgrounds, may speak louder when asked about the rigors of life.
But do those whose lives are above average don't experience this? Oops, don't get me wrong, because they too have experienced the hardships of life even though it's only a small part of their lives.
What about the billionaires and successful world figures? Of course we often read the life stories of famous and successful figures in the world, that their success was born after going through a difficult process in their past lives.
Thus, of course, we all agree that as human beings, we must not avoid the harshness of the life of the world. I don't know to what extent, but everyone must have experienced such struggles. Starting from economic problems, socio-cultural, political, health, and so forth.
But actually what makes some people able to overcome the hardships of life until now become successful people and their lives change for the better, not because they fight to the death let alone avoid it all, but they face it intelligently, wisely, and keep it. Walk on the right path. When facing various very complicated problems, it is true that running away is a mistake. Besides the fact that the problem will not be solved, it will make us more open in dealing with the problem. Until finally have to keep running from life's problems.
Are we struggling to solve this problem? Yes... but also not having to fight to the death using all available abilities. Why? Because that's stupid too. When we act like that then there is a possibility that we get, **the** **first**, the problem is indeed solved but has run out and cannot enjoy victory. **The second** is that the problem is not finished because we really run out of energy and finally give up losing without the results we want. We become depressed, hopeless, even lose everything we have. It can happen sooner or later because we struggle in the wrong and ineffective way.
**So how best?**
Yes, never give up and don't run from problems. But be wise in dealing with problems. If we feel a lot of pressure and it seems like everything is stuck with no way out then it's best to **STOP FOR TIME TO REST.** Yes, that is the key. Take a break before we die silly.
Rest is important so that we can restore energy, restore the soul, and give us a chance to think. Sometimes when we are busy fighting, we will become dull as time goes on. We are so boisterous with screaming and groaning that we see no possible solution. We need rest to give our brain a chance to refresh until it functions properly.
Rest gives us time to evaluate the results we have achieved and to determine our next steps. And when we rest, it's like we are undergoing treatment to heal all the wounds we suffered in the previous struggle.
So, we have seen how important rest is. Rest does not mean avoiding let alone giving up. But rest is the time when we prepare to further increase our strength to face all problems.
Are you tired of the rigors of life? If yes, then take a break but **NEVER GIVE UP!!**
Take a Break from Social Media
Nowadays, technology advances very rapidly. Technological progress is marked by the existence of social media. Almost everyone has social media, both from adults, teenagers, even children. Social media has dominated the world in recent years. Social media has now become everyone's need, and in this modern era playing social media has become a necessity that cannot be missed by its users.
In daily activities, it will not be complete if we do not play social media. Sometimes social media is a source of profit for anyone who plays social media. The existence of social media makes it easier for us to communicate without being hindered by the existing distance. With the existence of social media can bring us who are far away, but also can keep us close. This is actually not good. The more time we spend online on social media, the less time we have to socialize with the people around us.
Currently, there seems to be a tendency for internet users to put aside ethical values. Whereas in the social order, ethics is needed so that there is no friction that leads to conflict. Social media has several kinds of sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, and other social media, and currently the trend among children and teenagers is online games. the many interesting features on social media make users tend to be lazy and eventually addicted, this situation makes a lot of users' time wasted and activities become disrupted, such as school, studying, working, and socializing with the surrounding environment.
What happens if we are too addicted to playing social media and all the activities we do are neglected. Addiction to playing social media can disrupt our lives and often make our emotions unstable. In addition, it can also cause serious health problems, such as sleep disorders, stress, and mental disorders. Sleep disturbance is one of the symptoms of depression. If this is the case, it's time for us to take a break from social media. The reasons for the need to take a break from social media, namely:
**Protect ourselves from overthinking**
Every day a lot of information that we can get from social media. From the amount of information that is spread, it makes us less able to know which information is true and which is hoax information (not necessarily the truth). It makes us think and feel anxious to the point that sometimes we need time to think about things that are not necessarily true. In fact, the bad comments that other people give on the posts we make can make us afraid to express ourselves. Therefore, it is important for us to take a break from social media.
**Social media makes us lose confidence**
By playing social media, it is possible to see posts from people who trigger us to feel a loss of confidence, for example, posts in the form of other people's travel activities, awards that other people have received, other people's successes achieved or achieved, etc. This can make us pay more attention to the lives of others and compare our own lives. Although we can't be sure that the post is not necessarily a reflection of their real life. If this bothers us and worries us. It's time we need to rest to avoid excessive anxiety, because it will have an impact on our own lives.
**Our daily activities become neglected and hampered**
We can't get past our routine when it comes to playing social media. But if we are too addicted to playing social media and even forget the time, this will only harm ourselves. Work and daily activities that should be done at that time become hampered, even neglected. As a result, we often procrastinate because we are too busy playing social media. It's better to finish our work first and do what is our daily priority.
**Can ruin quality time with family and friends**
There are times when we have to be able to divide our time between playing social media and doing quality time with family or friends. While hanging out with them, you should take advantage of this time by sharing stories, joking, or even going on vacation together, don't keep playing social media. Because time with family and friends is precious. Don't waste every rare moment like that.
From the several reasons above, it is clear that every individual needs a break from playing social media. There is nothing wrong with us taking a break from social media if social media is felt to interfere with our lives. Because we have the right to live comfortably.
The Art of Rest
After spending a lot of time struggling with routines that rack the brain and energy, it's good for us to have time to rest. Even though it's a little, but when that time can be used optimally, then our work will also benefit.
When we have reached the saturation point, it means we have to rest, stop thinking about the heavy stuff. Why? Because forcing yourself will not give maximum results. If routine is like a tornado, we need to go out for a moment, observe, and think about how we can tame the tornado. Yes, our minds also have limits.
However, for some people, rest is not easy. The heart intends to take a break, but what is the power of the routine that forces oneself to continue to struggle. Sometimes the greater one's responsibility, if one cannot divide his time well, then that person feels enslaved by his own routine. Can't sleep, can't turn off the phone, can't take a rest in peace. This makes rest time seem useless. In the end it hurts.
There are several things we need to realize from the importance of rest. **First**, rest the body. **Second**, rest the mind. These two things need to be fulfilled to get optimal results, especially if we are in the middle of an unfinished problem. Resting the body will restore stamina, but without resting the mind, we still have the same level of exhaustion as we were before the break, we will not have enough energy to move. The result, sleepy, tired, unfocused, etc.
For some people who rarely rest, this activity seems risky to do, or a waste of time, or even dangerous. However, what you need to know, resting means loving and taking care of ourselves. If we are among those who consider rest to be in vain, then don't take rest in vain. Put down our tasks for a moment and give ourselves space to enjoy the beauty of life. Remember, our life is not only behind the desk. There are family, there are relatives, there are friends, moreover there is always God.
The most concrete type of rest is sleep, and this is a must. Don't let us not sleep well, so that our sleeping hours are turned upside down.
If necessary, schedule the ideal bedtime and make it a quality sleep. Another type of rest is to do something away from the daily routine. If we always use the brain to work, rest with our brain activity, or physical activity as a counterweight.
Alright my friends.
**The bottom line is that it works great. But if you work so hard that you forget your own good, that's just as bad as bad. Rest is an art, namely the art of making the best use of time. If during our work we serve others. So suppose that rest is to serve ourselves.**
My way to not tired when using technology
Almost every day I am always in front of a screen, especially when I am working. I use various digital devices to simplify and streamline my daily activities. Start looking for presentation materials and some of the latest news information, to see the weather forecast. Technology has finally changed the way I use my time. So, I have to stay focused on setting priorities as I work. Overexposure to internet technology for work and entertainment purposes can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion. For its use needs to be regulated, the goal of managing internet use is to find balance, reduce mental fatigue, and realize digital health for myself. There are several ways that I usually do to be more aware when using internet technology.
**Set the time between work and rest**
Before starting work, I will take the time to define daily goals that I want to achieve, to make it easier to focus on specific tasks. If possible, I will try to separate between work and rest space, so that when I am working, it is not easy to be tempted to lie down every 10 minutes. During breaks, I'll turn off notifications and keep the laptop away from my eyes. I will set clear times when I will work and when I can rest.
I would consider limiting my time using the app or browsing other sites.
**Use notifications to help with physical activity**
When I'm at home, I often get video calls in a row. It's best to pause between virtual meetings to rest my mind. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week. I can try activating voice commands on my phone, such as Google Assistance, so that it can serve as a reminder for me to get physical. Like doing light stretching every 2 hours. No matter how big or small, physical activity can provide health benefits that help improve my mental health.
**Restoring the mind to maintain focus and energy**
Whether on weekdays or weekends, I take advantage of my spare time to sleep and wake up at regular times to establish a steady rhythm and improve sleep quality. I also tried "Sleep time mode" on android which will automatically activate the "Do Not Disturb" feature and make my device screen go dark at the time I choose. Trying to stop using the phone near bedtime to improve my sleep quality. Exposure to blue light from cell phones can have a negative impact on the natural sleep cycle as it delays the release of the hormone melatonin and keeps the brain awake.
**The widespread presence of technology in everyday life must be used for things that are useful, provide benefits, and help everyone achieve a balance that is suitable for each individual.**
Shame can be Reminder
**Do you feel that you are a shy person?**
Basically there are many things that can be a factor that makes someone embarrassed. It can be internal as well as external. A person may have a genetic predisposition to be shy but that does not mean this is entirely influenced by internal factors. The environment also greatly influences a person's tendency to be shy.
Usually, a person becomes shy because he doesn't feel accepted or part of a certain group. When a person feels that way, he or she may act more uncomfortable, afraid, or anxious about acting or interacting in social groups. Everyone must have felt uncomfortable when in certain environments, and then may feel more free to express themselves in different groups.
It is often assumed that being shy has a negative effect on a person. However, in sufficient levels, we actually need shame and even benefit. Shame serves as a reminder for us to be more considerate of what we want to say or do.
Being a shy person is usually considered to be more friendly and less intimidating to other people, so there is a lot to learn from the introductions that occur. You may feel that greeting people first is a difficult thing to do, but you can also make the most of every opportunity that comes to you first. . After that you can start learning little by little to be comfortable in conversation or even voice your opinions.
That doesn't mean being shy, you should always reward yourself for new opportunities that you can actually get. Sometimes people may use this as a shield to stay in their comfort zone. Not everyone has to be good at socializing, really. You just need to make sure that you still feel accepted at least in a social group. Maybe friendships at work, in society, or maybe in your career as an adult.
Just focus on small exercises that you can do every day. For example, trying to greet a friend in the morning or daring to ask questions when you don't understand when joining the conversation. Shy people may not be very bright/famous around us, but this is what keeps our world in balance. Make sure there is always someone to listen when someone else might be busy talking. After you can listen well, in the future you can also start learning to slowly express what you are experiencing and feeling. **So don't be disappointed or too nervous just because you're shy. Okay?**
**Let's support each other.**
Silence, doesn't means just Daydreaming
When you ever feel confused about what to do, you must feel bland and don't know what to do. So the only way is to be silent, whether it's silent thinking about something important, silent because you are dizzy with many problems, and various reasons. Most people probably like that, instead of having to rebel because of confusion and stress, it's better to just keep quiet.
But actually silence is not good, because it will be said that there is no more useful work. But know that a person who is silent and daydreaming does not mean he is really daydreaming, maybe he is thinking about what is important to do next.
Or maybe he is imagining to create a unique idea to be realized in various forms, such as writing, painting, drawing to be shared with others. Of course, it would be fun if he poured his imagination skills, and will cause a positive response and can be admired by many people.
People who are quiet are mostly experienced by adults. Because at that time they had many dependents and problems that were so complicated to solve, so they thought about what efforts should be made so that the problem was quickly resolved properly. It is different if the silent ones are the children. They are mostly silent just because their friends are fussy, lazy to study, it's all because their mindset is not as complicated as adults. But it is worth further questioning if the children are silent for too long.
Because as far as I know children are always cheerful and rarely look sad. All he could think about was playing, playing, and playing with his friends. The feeling of loneliness actually has to be removed far because if it lingers in oneself, it will make a person feel even more depressed and useless in the future.
If indeed we are forced to be silent, we should not just daydream. For those who are Muslim, try to do dhikr, read short letters, always remember Allah, and Istighfar. Because for Muslims that is a powerful way to get rid of confusion, emotions, dizziness, pain, etc.
Another way to do this is to take notes. Yup, write down the things you want to do in a few days, weeks, or months. Think about what fun things you will do in the future. You can take notes on your phone. It would be even cooler if you wrote down some interesting ideas that could later be developed into a story.
In addition, there is another thing, so that quiet time is not wasted, we can also practice speaking in public. So as if in front of us there are many people, here we are talking to ourselves, we just imagine that in front of us many people are looking at us.
**This method is quite fun too, because it trains our brain to speak and also our speaking ability. Honestly when I'm quiet I do this more often, but now that I think about it, I feel like I'm crazy for talking to myself.** Lol
**The point is, so let's fill in activities that are simple and positive while we are quiet/dreaming. Although a little beyond our capabilities.**:D good luck.
If you feel stuck, make it a habit to think about important things for later. Instead of just being silent and daydreaming it will only make yourself meaningless.
Success behind Failure
Every individual must have their own definition of success. There are people who say that they are successful if they have their own income, support their family, pamper their parents, or maybe if they have successful children. There are also people who define success as simply as being able to eat full every day, being able to wake up early, or being able to see the smile of their idol. Consciously or not, everyone wants to be successful.
Success is often identified with a person's success in achieving something, be it a career, achievement, material, to a certain peace. A person's ability to reach a point is an indication for that person of his ability. **"Oh, it turns out I can".** Then the person tries to reach a higher point as the target of his success.
However, does failure then indicate that someone is not successful? no, not necessarily.
**Enjoy the proccess of being successful.**
Some say that failure is delayed success. But as long as the person is sincere in the process, then he actually gets his own success, regardless of the end result called **"success"**. Why? Because that process enriches him. That process can be used for various opportunities that will come. That is why, people who go through the process correctly even if they fail, will be more useful than people who succeed by cheating. Because he will find a way to get up, while the cheater is not necessarily successful again if faced with the same problem.
**Pay attention to small successes.**
The meaning of **'success'** that we aim for may consist of small successes. So far, many people are too focused on something that is far ahead and ignore the satisfying things they have gone through. A student failed to win in a national competition. He failed, but had been through a lot. For example, he has studied various kinds of problems that his friends may not be able to do, he won 1st place in his city, province, even national level, he got pocket money that amount had never been imagined, he was able to go abroad, he made many new friends. . Enjoying the small successes that have been obtained will keep us from falling too hard when we are awarded with failure.
**Pursuing success. on the tip of the nail.**
When a person decides to get up and not give up, he is actually experiencing success. Yes, success with itself. Saying 'no' to giving up is the greatest success, considering yourself as your strongest enemy. people who give up are people who fail more than people who fail themselves. Because people who give up have closed themselves off from success, even though success is actually at the tip of their nails.
**Not winning is not not successful.**
Understanding life is all uncertain, that's the success and failure. In a competition, one can get first place. However, in the real world, outside of competition, would he have lasting success? It's the same with those who failed in the competition. Are they really not needed out there? True or not, the decision still comes back to each individual. Want to really be successful or not.
Balance In Life
Have we ever asked ourselves, is there anyone in this world whose whole life is colored with happiness from birth to death? Never a problem, never a problem. Everything he lived was so easy and fun. Is there anyone like that? On the other hand, has anyone had a hard time in their life? Never felt happiness. There was never anything that relieved him.
We never get the answer. Maybe not there, maybe there is. But as far as I know the people around me, currently no one has a 100% happy or 100% hard life. We know a friend who at school often had problems with teachers, but as an adult he became a successful entrepreneur. We once idolized a friend who always ranked first in class, but it turned out that he was trapped in a circle of people who had not yet found a job. Someone we know who used to be very rich, now has to work hard and look for loans here and there for living expenses. A person we know who always takes the time to work after school, is now known by people all over the world. Or a simpler example, today our friend is crying because his girlfriend broke up, tomorrow he is laughing because he won in a competition. Today there is a funny person laughing at life, a few hours later he has been separated from his own life.
That is life. We do not know our fate and destiny. Life itself is a mystery that we never know the storyline. There is an almighty who governs this life which we never know its purpose and purpose. Humans never have the ability to know the secret behind an event. We are just trying to understand and think positively that there will be a good that is prepared for us behind something that stands in our way.
Some say life is like a spinning wheel, sometimes up, sometimes down. I agree with that saying, but I have another parable. Life is like a scale looking for balance. let's say happiness is in the right arm and distress is in the left arm. alternating right and left arms provide the load to find a balance point. It's quite difficult to find the right balance (fair) . There will always be slight inclinations, either on the right or left arm. That's what happens in life. When a scale is leaning too much to the right, then something will make the scale lean to the left, then something else will make it lean to the right. And so on.
Guys.
This gives us the meaning of consciousness in life. Realize that we are not always difficult. Realize that you are not always happy. Realize that we must be prepared to face difficulties. Realizing that we still have hope. Realize that we should not be arrogant for the happiness we have. Realizing that we should not give up when difficulties hit us.
And most importantly, believe that God is always there for us.
Technological Development "Opportunities or Threats".
***Technology***, a word that plays a very full role in the development of human life today. In today's era, perhaps most of the population around the world, including in my country, have enjoyed technological advances. Talking about technology is inseparable from the internet and gadgets which are the result of technology itself.
Technology and its rapid progress is very helpful for human life, even with existing technological advances it can create opportunities to make money without ever leaving home.
But perhaps without us realizing it, the technology that exists today turns into a threat in itself, if the technology is not able to be managed and instead dominates us.
Internet and gadgets are some of the results of these technological advances. Right now, everything has taken advantage of internet facilities, one of which is the world of education. In my country, in the last 2 years almost all schools and colleges, including elementary schools to high schools, have used internet facilities in the learning process up to the recruitment/admission of new students. This is a good progress, of course, considering that technology must be introduced as early as possible for positive use, as well as for the provision of entering the Free Market which will focus heavily on technology, of course, and advance our society.
In addition, it also helps pre-parents who previously did not understand the use of the internet so that they would accidentally learn and try to use it.
However, what is happening today is that most of us misuse technology, as is what is happening to children today. Existing technology makes them become individuals who prioritize themselves, far from direct social life, some even make technology or more precisely social media as a substitute for family, parents and friends.
The internet or social media keep them away from their families, and sometimes they even spend their time in front of their gadgets/computers.
The lack of supervisors and the absence of clear information about the pros and cons of technology are the main factors causing the misuse of technology in children, so it would be wise to use the existing technology as well as possible and become an ***Opportunity*** not a ***Threat***.
