Nice Song

"Another Heartbreak"

Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak

Soaking in another rainy day
I stopped to watch the long parade
Winding slowly through the maze
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak

I lost my way in the summer breeze
I fell down to my hands and knees
And now I am searchimg
Through the autumn leaves

Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak

And here you stand in front of me
In all of the complexity
That I had Mistaken for simplicity

Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak

Hold on

Amanah

Dikisahkan pada suatu hari Khalifah Umar Bin Khattab berencana untuk menjenguk temannya yang sakit di luar kota Mekah. Untuk menuju kesana Khalifah menyewa unta dari seorang sahabat.
Kemudian berangkatlah Khalifah Umar ke tempat temannya yang sakit. di tengah perjalanan Khalifah Umar berhenti sebentar untuk mengambil minum di oase. Setelah sudah puas mengambil minum Khalifah Umar melanjutkan perjalanan tanpa sadar bahwa waktu Khalifah Umar minum dia meninggalkan surbannya di atas pohon kurma. Setelah Khalifah Umar melanjutkan perjalanan, Khalifah Umar bertemu dengan seorang temannya di tengah jalan, kemudian temannya itu menyapa Khalifah Umar dan menanyakan mengapa Khalifah Umar tidak memakai surban. Khalifah Umar umar sadar bahwa surbannya telah tertinggal ditempat dia mengambil air.
Khalifah Umar kemudian berkata kepada sahabatnya.

" surbanku tertinggal di tempat aku mengambil air, wahai sahabatku aku minta tolong titip untaku ini sebentar aku akan mengambil surbanku"

. Khalifah Umar kemudian turun dari unta memberikan tali kekang kepada sahabatnya dan bergegas berjalan mengambil surban dari oase tadi. sahabat itu terkejut melihat perilaku Khalifah Umar dan menunggu Khalifah Umar mengambil surban tersebut. setelah Khalifah Umar kembali dari mengambil surban , sahabat itu bertanya kepada Khalifah Umar.

"Wahai Khalifah Umar, mengapa tidak kau pakai saja unta itu untuk mengambil surban yang tertinggal, mengapa kau justru berjalan kaki mengambilnya, atau mengapa kau tidak memintaku untuk mengambilnya, aku pasti tidak akan keberatan mengambilkan surbanmu Khalifah Umar".

Khalifah Umar menjawab begini .

"aku mengambil surbanku berjalan kaki karena waktu aku menyewa unta ini akad sewanya ialah unta ini kugunakan untuk menjenguk temanku yang sakit, bukan untuk mengambil unta. aku tidak mungkin menyuruhmu karena kamu budakku, dan yang kuambil adalah barang milikku sendiri"

. sahabat itu bertambah heran dan berkatta begini.

"wahai Khalifah Umar apakah dengan engkau memakai unta itu untuk mengambil surban, unta itu akan bertambah capek, atau pemilik unta itu akan mendapatkan keuntungan yang berbeda. tentu tidak wahai Khalifah Umar, mengapa engkau mempermasalahkan hal kecil seperti itu Khalifah Umar?"

khalifah umar menjawab,

"sahabatku bertobatlah , jangan pernah menganggap suatu hal kecil, hal kecil itu besar artinya dihadapan allah swt"

Money And Happiness

Chris Gardner has big dreams for him and his family but it doesn't seem to come together for him. Chris has an opportunity to be a stock broker but first he has to go through a grueling internship which means no pay. Chris decides to do it but when his wife leaves and he is evicted, he has to take care of his son on his own. So they find themselves sometimes living on the street and struggling to get by. But Chris is determined to make it (full synopsis).

There is a synopsis from pursuit of happiness. Here also quote from that movie ( I genuinely love this word) :

Christopher Gardener : “It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?”

What is source of happiness then? In that movie, the source of happiness seems to be money. Christopher had to get a job as a financial advisor to pursue his happiness. Unfortunately recent research shows a different result. Arthur C. Brook research shows that:

psychologists and economists who have studied the relationship between money and happiness paint a different picture. According to them, you'd likely grow tired of your cabana in a matter of years. You see, people have an astonishing ability to adapt to all sorts of situations, and while that can be a good thing if you get locked out of your house during a drenching rain, it also means you'd quickly grow accustomed to a life of affluence. A shiny red Jag and new house in the Hamptons would be great for a while, but after a few days or weeks, their newness would wear off, and you'd go in search of the next best thing. Even surveys of lottery winners indicate that their initial joy at hitting the jackpot wears off in just a few months

The one place that money and happiness are significantly linked is when a person is unable to afford to meet their basic needs. There is an appreciable difference in levels of happiness between those below the poverty level and those above it. Homeless people in Calcutta, for instance, score a mere 2.9 on a 7-point scale of happiness, while multimillionaires in the United States rank themselves a cheery 5.8. Once people pass that poverty threshold, though, the money boost tapers off; Inuits in Greenland and Masai ranchers living in Kenyan dung huts are just as happy as the high-society Americans So while the Warren Buffetts of the world are indeed more content than beggars on the street, they're not a whole lot happier than people who herd cattle for a living.

If you running your live thought that every more penny you had as a symbol of more happiness you had. You have to re thought that mind. And what in the hell we’re looking for a money then. Proud is the answer for that . Financial status is the way we demonstrate to others (and ourselves) that we are successful—hence the fancy watches, the expensive cars, and the bespoke suits. We use these things to show other people not just that we are prosperous, but that we are prosperous because we create value.

There is nothing strange about measuring our success with money; we measure things indirectly all the time. I require my students to take exams not because I believe their scores have any inherent value, but because I know these scores correlate extremely well with how much they have studied and how well they understand the material. Your doctor draws your blood to check your cholesterol not because blood cholesterol is interesting in and of itself, but because it measures your risk of having a heart attack or a stroke. In the same way, we measure our professional success with green pieces of paper called “dollars.”

What scholars often portray as an ignoble tendency—wanting to have more than others—is really evidence that we are driven to create value. Wanting to create value is a virtue, not a vice. The fact that it also brings us happiness is a tremendous blessing (Arthur C. Brook).

Money is important, to fulfilled our basic need , but not that important to sacrifice what all we had..

It can buy a Bed, But not Sleep

It can buy a Clock, But not Time

It can buy you a Book, But not Knowledge

It can buy you a Position, But not Respect

It can buy you Medicine, But not Health

It can buy you Blood,But not Life

It can buy you Sex,But not Love

It can buy you accompany, But not Friend

It can buy you a food, but not appetite

It can buy you a security, but not safe

Tantang

Aku ingin Tantangan, tantangan yang menantang, tantangan yang membuat menegang
Aku butuh tantangan, tantangan untuk menang , aku menang aku senang
aku ada, aku ego..

Lets Begin

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
