Create a Life, Not Just Life

"Your Successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.- The success and happiness will be very mean if you want to share with other people. "Albert Camus

To be able to simply live, maybe we need not bother to look for opportunities or thinking about how to improve the quality and benefit ourselves. However, as the most special creatures of God's creation YME, we are obliged to obtain meaningful life. We must do all it can. A wise proverb says, "Find a meaningful need and fill it better than anyone else. - Go for something meaningful, and use every opportunity that is better than anyone. "

There are several steps to make our lives more meaningful. The first step is to increase the willingness to learn. Humans have a remarkable mind, then use the mind to learn to make progress in life. We can learn from many things, among others is to learn to experience life, failure, everyday events, people and so on. So continue to increase the willingness to learn.

The second step of our lives so that more means are trying to do something to get closer to the desired dream. Work harder, more active or productive. This step is very effective in increasing the possibility of getting money, property or anything of value to humans.

One thing that should be used as guidelines that the hard work was not simply chasing 5 P, the power (power), position (position), pleasure (joy), prestige (the authority) and prosperity (wealth).Every effort is oriented only to the five it does guarantee success or even the result of abundant

modulus, but does not guarantee a pleasant end. An example is a fact about eight people millionaires in the United States who gathered at the Hotel Edge Water Beach in Chicago, Illinois in 1923. They are the people who are successful, but the tragic fate 25 years later.

One of them is Charles Schwab, CEO of leading steel companies at the time, which is Bethlehem Steel. But Charles Schwab total bankruptcy. So he was forced into debt to finance her life for 5 years before he died. The second was Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange. But this man had spent the rest of his life in prison Sing Sing. The third person was Jesse Livermore, the king of shares "The Great Bear" on Wall Street. But he committed suicide.

The fourth person was "The Match King", Ivar Krueger, CEO of copyrights, who also committed suicide. Likewise with Leon Fraser, Chairman of the Bank of International Settlement, he committed suicide. The sixth is Hupson Howard, CEO of the largest gas company in North America. But he was mentally ill and being treated in a psychiatric hospital

until the end of his life. Arthur Cutton was previously the largest flour mill owners in the world, but he died in another country. Meanwhile, Albert Fall, the time he was a member of the president's cabinet

United States. But he died at his home in Texas when he had just come out of prison.

In this world not a few people who had been very successful, but languished in the last years of their lives. Their lives as if it does not mean though previously very wealthy. The best efforts it can make a big success, but that does not mean a guarantee of a final human life as meaningful.

Therefore the next step we have to do is to balance hard work with acts of kindness. A writer in the 20th century the French nationals, André Gide, it defines the good as follows: "True kindness presupposes the faculty of Imagining as one's own the suffering and joys of others. --

Real good is the ability to feel pain and happiness of others. "

Hard work balanced with doing good will result in high spirit to get more than what is needed.This was driven by a desire to be able to share happiness with others. In the end the good of the positive impact of the spirit of life, motivation, and progress

and economic attitudes. James Allen, author of a book called As a Man Thinketh says, "Thought and good deeds could not bring bad results; thoughts and bad deeds are not

may bring good results. "

By studying, working hard and doing good then we will be able to create a life far more meaningful. The steps as described above proved very effective also make a positive impression of ourselves is not easily forgotten. I believe that we still have a lot of opportunities and potential to obtain the precious lives wherever and whatever our job.

Live's to Give

On one afternoon when I got home from work by riding a motorcycle, I was served a little drama is very interesting, a little boy aged about ten years with very sigapnya sidelines overtaking vehicle density disebuah red light intersection in Jakarta.

This scene made me interested, my mind immediately drifted to imagine what the child is given with the package, did he sell? "What if he sells a homeless may become permanent customers or ...??, To kill my curiosity, I followed the little boy until disebrang road, then I immediately greeted the child to whom I talked. De, "may my brother asked"? please brother, if I may know that just ketukang sister newspapers distributed, janitors, even begging the police officer, then what?, oh ... that little parcel of rice and side dishes kak, kak's why!, with a little surprise, as he asked . Oh .. no! , Brother Just interested in how you distribute the package, you look familiar and quite familiar with them. What you've known them? Then,

Thus the mother is always reminding me, that there are still many difficult people like us first, so if we are given a sufficient livelihood, why we can not share them.

That my mother always said "life should mean for many people", because when we go back to the Creator there is nothing we carry, just one that we bring the love of neighbor and the Charity and our good deeds, if today we can practice something good for many people, why we should delay.

(Love is patient, love is kind; he was not jealous. Does not demand its own way. He did not do that are not polite and did not seek its own way. He is not angry and does not save other people's mistakes. He does not rejoice because injustice, but because of the truth. He covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.)

Do the little things, by sharing this story with everyone, hopefully the results obtained from this small thing a big impact for many people.

Animal Instink

"Progress, success and enjoyment that we can bury our reach into the cemetery called 'comfort-zone'."
A few moments before the storm tsunami hit Aceh and some other parts of the world, a victim in Aceh who survived tells of a newspaper that he had suspected the birds flying white. "Bad," he said as he turned toward the hill. True, a few moments later the water overflowing in front of my eyes. Apparently the animals have good instincts to the signs of nature. In Sri Lanka, as reported on CNN, is also rare to find dead animals, even human corpses piled everywhere. "No Elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening, "said H.D. Ratnayake, Deputy Director of Sri Lanka's Wildlife Department, such as
quoted by CNN.
Others again with what was reported the New York Post - Online Edition. Some volunteers also an animal lover who moved after the storm tsunami found precisely the fact that many victims are pets in the home, rarely found in victims of wild animals. "Wild animals seemed to sense the massive tidal wave approaching, and escaped to higher ground. But many pets refused to abandon their human owners, and livestock was often penned or tied down and could not escape, "said an a animal-welfare experts said such dutilis New York Post - Online Edition.
Interestingly, some reluctant pet owners to leave the house and died with his master. On the one hand can we understand this as a form of 'loyalty', on the other hand, I expected this, it's pet "went numb" kind of instincts than animals surviving in the wilderness. Perhaps they had too long been a pet that can not move from the "comfort-zone" it.
In some cases, progress has been made to create a setup man to himself. Like the fate of pets, humans had finally died buried with "progress" that was created on the ground called "comfort-zone" is. Humans forget, that they must remain friends with nature, to keep honing instincts.

Re-Defining Success

What the most desirable of all human beings? Answer only one: success. Success has been a need for any human beings on this earth. That's why people take a variety of ways to earn. One of them by way of formal education. Unfortunately, success is not something that can easily be achieved every person. The wise man always said, there is no success without sacrifice. There is no success without sacrifice!

Although success has become an absolute requirement of every human being after all not everyone has the same view about the meaning of success. Some regard it as wealth. This group generally devote his life to accumulate wealth. They see money as a symbol of success.That's why they became greedy and very deify money. Money becomes absolutely necessary oxygen for their lives.

Unfortunately people like this empty life. They are generally quick suspicious of others. Very difficult for them to think positively of others. If anyone tries to close, they then thought, "Maybe these people want to take my property." A Grand Master of wisdom once said people who come first property will not find the true meaning of life. "For where the treasure is, there are also heart," the advice of the Grand Master.

I do not deny that the wealth-money-especially important for life. Who would not need the money? A religious institutions and social institutions also needed money for its operations.How can we establish a place of worship without the money that is

donations from other people? Money is important but money is not everything. Money is a means to make our lives more meaningful. Both for themselves and others.

In addition to wealth, there are also people who identify with the calm life success. This group does not like all kinds. Some even tend to be passive and distanced himself from public life.This attitude is a choice and we can not

said it was wrong.

There are also people who identify with the success of fame. They are willing to take the long road uphill for popularity. Sometimes the long journey is very tiring, so some choose to practice shortcut ways less commendable, such as (sorry) to sell themselves. It was no secret that not a singer or movie star who once slept with the producer. Not all of those who take this path. I personally know many artists who continue to maintain his honor rather than exchanged for popularity.

Understand that success is usually synonymous with fame attested only in the early stages.Gradually, with increasing popularity, many are certain things happened that eventually makes a public figure (public figures) must refuse to understand this. For example with the corresponding loss of privacy because every move was monitored constantly by the press. Sometimes I am very sorry for myself to see how the life of an artist "diobok-obok" excessively by the media. The media always say that what is presented to satisfy curiosity readers or viewers. May have a point. To be sure, it is clear that success is not synonymous with fame.

Furthermore there is also a success with mendefiniskan health. This definition of me asking questions sometimes reflective, is not there so many people with the most excellent health, but his life is empty? They did not work and try to make life more meaningful.

So, what is the proper definition of success? I do not pretend to call themselves as experts had success because I still learning and find what the meaning of a true success. To be sure, I've read a definition of success that seemed interesting enough to refer us together. According to renowned motivator, Zig Ziglar, a true success covers eight areas of life, namely: happiness, health, financial (wealth), security, quality of friendship (has many friends), good family relationships, expectations about the future, and peace of mind. That is why we often hear people say that the rich do not necessarily successful, but successful people must be rich materially and spiritually.

However, success is not a final destination; success is a journey. Success is not a destination; Success is a journey! Yes, success is a journey! If we had managed to achieve a dream, we're still must go on. End of the trip is when we close our eyes and return to His presence. Motivator and leadership expert, Dr. John C. Maxwell always insisted that the trip was a success we are always doing what we should do. Essentially, follow the journey of success with the right and respect the process not the end result. How do you think?

In the process of our lives as human beings, especially those of us who live in the community at large and who are striving hard to create quality of a better life, often in contact with other people, we see good or bad from the treatment of others on self - us, instead we are to others, or we are to ourselves and those of their own. Such attitudes are very reasonable and very natural that can occur in relationships between munusia for anyone, anytime and anywhere we are.

But if we are conscious as humans who have a healthy mind, which can distinguish the good attitude and bad, where the positive and negative, which is constructive, and destructive attitudes which can offend, hurt and attitudes which may please others, which needs to be preserved, maintained and developed continuously.

As a human being can understand, realize and can think clearly, clearly we must be able to choose and dare to determine attitudes, with all his energy, time and mind to continue to develop themselves as much as that can be done in line of principle a better and positive.

Reach Your Dream

A young man of twenty-year dream that one day he became a millionaire. He fully realized that the dream is something that can generate motivation and provide direction for the life of every human being. This dream then conveyed to the lover.

Some time later they were married.

Unfortunately not long before the economic crisis is severe. Period of great depression arrived!The couple later had many sad events in their lives. Ranging from loss of jobs and a car, a house mortgaged to the increasingly depleted savings from day to day. The youth is experiencing tremendous frustration. He often sat alone. He even suggested that his wife left him. He was not able to be a good husband. He felt he had failed in his life.

Who suspected his wife actually did not lose hope at all? The wife of a loving and is always close to reinforcing it. By not get enough of it to convince the husband

that the dream of becoming a millionaire is not dead and they can certainly achieve it together someday. "My husband, we have to keep doing something that we dream is still alive," he kept repeating to her husband. "Still alive?" Replied the husband, "our dream is dead! We have failed! "

The wife still does not want to believe that the dream has died. He had not even willing to bury the dream! To keep the dream life she led her husband to design what they would do if one day they became millionaires. Both then started doing this after each meal the night.

Time passed and they still doing the same activity until one day her husband endapatkan a brilliant idea:

create a game of money. That is what items to be purchased only if a person has "money", such as land, houses, buildings, etc.. These ideas continue to brown them. They added a game board, dice, cards, small houses, small hotels, etc..

Can you guess the game is this? Yeah, right! The game was called a monopoly. Yes, that's the story of how Charles Darrow and his wife, Esther created the game. The game was later sold to a businessman with a million-dollar price

and even a millionaire's dream come true!

This story is truly inspiring my heart. Imagine, in this life are not many people who can firmly hold their dreams. Sometimes the dream becomes "wither before it develops". Poor fellow!Many people know that dreams are often the beginning of the struggle for tomorrow menwujudkan better but unfortunately many who do not dare to dream. And dreaming

is free. Dreamed that the rights of every human being. After all, dreaming is not a criminal act.

There are also groups of people who dare to dream, but are reluctant to make sacrifices to achieve those dreams. In seminars or training I often say, "If you are not willing to sacrifice so just forget about your dreams. The bigger your dream the greater the sacrifices you have to do. "

The question now is, how do I make our dreams can become reality? Based on personal experience and from what I learned there are a number of important steps that needed to be a dream can become reality. First, clarify your dreams. Make your dream become a target and write. You should be able to imagine in your mind that your dream. People often say it makes your target has an element of SMART

S = specific (create as specific as possible), M = measurable (measurable or have the numbers. For example pengen how many dollars have money or a car for how much), A = Achievable (can be achieved. The proof is there of people who reach this moment), R = realistic (realistic, that is in accordance with the resources you currently have or

still in your control, not someone else) and T = time bound (no time limit, meaning that when you want it come true).

Second, try to write down the benefits that can be obtained if the dream come true. Should benefit not only for yourself but also for the person you love most, the people around you and the other fellow. The greater the benefits that you can get and you'll be more enthusiastic in reach.

Moreover, if we are aware of God's name would be more glorified if that dream come true.

Third, pray that your dream. Ask God for help because no matter how hard we work will be wasted if the Source of All Grace did not bless him. Sometimes dreams come true we do not visit as contrary to His will or is not time. For that, try as you take enough time so that they can communicate with him about your dream is.

Fourth, the identification of any problems or obstacles which would you face in order to realize these dreams. Fifth, identification of persons, groups of people or organizations that would be able to help you realize those dreams. Maybe you'll get some people, groups or organizations that can synergize

with you they might even have the same dreams, so you can work with them.

Sixth, the identification of knowledge and skills are what you need in order to achieve that dream. Perhaps you should read some books, take courses, seminars or training. Do not hesitate to continue to learn and improve. Les Brown once said, "To achieve something you have never Achieved before, you must become someone you have never been before." Yes, to achieve something you've never achieved you must become a different person than before.

Seventh, make a plan of action that is the steps you will take. Eighth: action. Without action, you'll only be a member of the banned organization for people who want to succeed the NADO (no action dream only). Ninth, keep your mental attitude. Think positive and courageous rise from failure. Remember that a positive attitude will attract more success dkat to yourself! Tenth, continuously evaluating your step.

If necessary changes, do not hesitate to do so. Do not be stiff! Be flexible in terms of the way or method.

Let me close our conference this time with a very valuable advice from Dr. Benjamin Mays, "It is very necessary to grow in our minds the idea that the tragedies in life should not be a reason for not achieving our dreams. Any tragedy must not become the reason we dream is not achieved.Die with dreams that are not achieved is not a disaster, but do not have a dream at all is a disaster. Can not reach for the stars is not something that

embarrassing but do not have the will reach for the stars is very embarrassing. The failure was common but no will was a big mistake! "Happy dreaming! ***
