Ilmu Ikhlas adalah sebuah pelajaran hidup yang harus diterapkan setiap saat dalam hidup.
Ikhlas berarti tidak terikat pada sesuatu (harta, tahta, perasaan) yang berlebihan, bahasa jawa-nya: " kemilikan"
rasa terikat/ memiliki yang berlebih akan menimbulkan banyak hal negatif seperti: iri, dengki, serakah, posesif, dll
Jika pikiran sudah dipenuhi hal negatif, maka ucapan dan tingkah laku akan menunjukkan hal yang negatif pula, jika dilanjutkan maka akan terbiasa menjadi negatif dan pribadi serta karakter akan terbentuk menjadi karakter yang negatif....-sudah terperosok dan masuk dalam lumpur-
Dalam Alkitab (agama Kristen) tertulis: "Tak seorangpun dapat mengabdi pada dua tuan. Karena jika demikian, ia akan membenci yang seorang dan akan mengasihi yang lain, atau ia akan setia kepada seorang dan tidak mengindahkan yang lain. Kamu tidak dapat mengabdi kepada Allah dan kepada mamon" (Mat 6:24)
Memang dalam dunia ini kita memerlukan mamon (harta, tahta, dll), memang boleh kita hemat, tertib dan boleh mengelola hal-hal duniawi tersebut namun keterikatan kita haruslah pada Sang Pencipta bukan pada mamon.
Harta dan kekuasaan harus digunakan dengan baik untuk mencapai tujuan kita, " Ikatlah persahabatan dengan menggunakan mamon yang tidak jujur supaya jika mamon itu tidak dapat menolong lagi, kamu diterima dalam kemah abadi" (Luk 16:9)
oleh karena itu, jika kita terbiasa untuk ikhlas, kita akan mampu melepaskan hal-hal duniawi, sehingga saat kehilangan kita tidak mejadi depresi, gila, marah berlebihan dll karena kita percaya Tuhan mengambilnya untuk digantikan dengan yang lebih baik.
-Ambil intisarinya, mari berbagi untuk hidup yang lebih baik-

Life is a Circle
This is true that all things always walk in a circle, or we can say a cycle
Last Friday (Oct 18th) night, on my way to meeting with a friend in Mall Taman Anggrek (we can called: A), i was texting with another friend (we can called: B). i asked about the meaning behind B's statement on the bbm "menuntaskan lakon hidup sebagai manusia" or we can say "Accomplishing our life story".. B told me that was a result of 'AHA" things when she saw a man, who become one of a victim of Jogja's earthquake some time ago, struggling to get up from his lowest condition. He showed us that as a children of God, we must accomplishing what God's want from us (life purposes), he also showed us a great attitude that we must accept God's Plan on us and keep fighting until the end.
Then our discussion continued. I asked B, "how to find what God's really want from our life? how can we understand that? how can i understand or hear His answer of all this?" many questions i asked B during our discussion. B said that i am not alone on that.... everyone feel the same as i did; just keep on searching and exploring my anxieties and i will find all the answer one at a time.
I told B that i really admire B and our other friends who have conquer their fear and living a live that they love, giving up their job and start their own life. B told me that i should look deeper inside their life before, they have done so many things to explore their anxieties and step by step conquer their fear, once we have done our first step than we can see the road ahead become clearly.
Than, our discussion have to be paused for a couple hours because i have reached MTA and meeting with A.
I think we all know at least already heard that our mind is like a giant magnet, we can attract what us really want to. For a couple hour meeting with A, i'm amazed that our conversation just like continuing what i have been discussed with B earlier, A was telling how A struggling to find the answer about A's anxiety and problems and how A finally decided giving up the job that already giving so much in hers life (as you know, A was a GM in our company and resigned and now doing things she loved). It's really amazing, unbelievable..
After meeting A, i told B how our conversation seem continue with A and finally A give me some advice:
1.Keep struggling with your anxiety and problems, you are NOT alone
2. One step at the time
3. Don't forget to pray because He is Almighty
4. Everybody need to change and have courage
So many years back, in my life, i learned everything about CHANGE with a powerful lines "Everything is Possible if you REALLY Want to", i have motivated others to change and have courage to live their dream. Now, this word back to me....remind me of old times...remind me of those power lines.... i have to out from this mud and live better and better live.
I really thank God that He has giving me really great friends in my live. Friends that could inspired others, could be a role model to others, could be a great friend.
But sadly that i still stuck inside this comfort zone, i have to be more struggle to find the answer and to have more courage to move on to a better life.
Thank you all my friends...sorry that i still have so many weakness and i'm sorry that i have disappointing you rather than make you proud.
Since i'm in Jakarta, so many things happened and shocked me out.
So many thing to do, i have to "scan and defrag" this branch out. The older ways/ methode in working so messed up.
Yes, i will not talked about the ruins but i just have to CURHAT because it's getting burdened me.
Member of our team were not too big, it's about 25 people in our division, my team member is only 5 people including me. As we know, older members' reaction will be: welcome or not welcome (obviously) plus! the surprizing reaction was "welcome" (and stab me in the back), it really happened !!
Now, back to the office condition.
I'm moving in while my admin head was taking her maternity leave for 3 months so i could not get data(s) so accuratelly and i have to become admin head to...
My marketing team member: one is getting off from this company, so psychologically this person's heart and mind are on somewhere else plus this person leaved me a bunch off homework. My other marketing member is a spoiled little brat.
Well, i have to clean up someone else's dirts while my sales target is so..so...big that i have to achieve really hard to do that in the same time.
Now, it had been about 8 months since i moved in, this place is getting neat, the administration problems now only a few (thank you our admin team!), the NPL is almost zero (Bravo collection team!!) and the only problem remain is the character of the people (siiiighhhh)
Well....still there are burdens in my head and heart, but i cannot tell you here....i cannot tell everybody else..i only could tell Jesus and Mother Mary in my pray....
My friend said this afternoon: Just hold on, buddy. Believed that a more beautifull rainbow in the end of this...Just hold on.
Yeah, after andrea bocelli's now Il Divo's...
Il Divo is one of a great vocal group. The vocalist have their own "Timbre" (warna suara), powerful and the songs is also great.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_Divo :
Il Divo ("divine male performer" in Italian) is a multinational operatic pop vocal group created by music manager, executive, and reality TV star Simon Cowell. Formed in the United Kingdom, they are also signed to Cowell's record label, Syco Music.[1] Il Divo is a group of four male singers: French pop singer Sébastien Izambard, Spanish baritone Carlos Marín, American tenor David Miller, and Swiss tenor Urs Bühler. To date, they have sold more than 26 million albums worldwide.
The idea behind Il Divo's creation came to Cowell after hearing Andrea Bocelli singing Con te partirò while watching The Sopranos. In 2004, G4, a quartet of operatic male singers, also appeared in the UK on the Simon Cowell TV show X-factor. They finished runners-up, but were signed by Sony records. Aware of this new appreciation for lyrical voices and classical music, he decided to form a multinational quartet (the members hail from Spain,Switzerland, France, and the United States, the name being in Italian) that tried to recreate the style of The Three Tenors.
Simon Cowell conducted a worldwide search for young singers who were willing to embark on the Il Divo project, which lasted two years, from 2001 until December 2003, when the fourth member of Il Divo, American tenor David Miller, was signed. The well-established formation of Il Divo comprises a renowned Spanish baritone, Carlos Marín; two classically trained tenors, Swiss Urs Bühler and American David Miller; and a French pop singer,Sébastien Izambard.
Now let me pick some songs for you, this songs are the best song (for me), so enjoyed :-D

AMAZING GRACE
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; 'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home.
When we've been here ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.
Don’t Cry For Me Argentina
It won't be easy, You'll think it strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love, After ll that I've done You won't believe me All you will see, Is a girl you once knew Although she's dressd up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change Couldn't stay all my life down at heel Looking out of the window Staying out of the sun So I chose freedom Running around trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it too
Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days, My mad existence I kept my promise, Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune and as for fame I never invited them in Though it seemed to the world They were all I desired They are illusions They're not the solutions They promise to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina
Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence, I kept my promise Don't keep your distance
Have I said to much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you But all you have to do Is look at me to know That every word is true
Don't cry for me Argentina

Andrea Bocelli, one of my favorite singers. As you know, he sings many genre of music but basically he sings classical song but if you ever heard him collaborating with other singers like Tony Bennett, Celine Dion, etc wow....the music will never be the same again...so gentle, light, refreshing and i can getting flow with his voice....
So, i 'll share some of the songs' lyrics.... enjoy it :)
SOGNO
Va ti aspettero' II fiore nel giardino segna il tempo Qui disegnero' il giomo poi del tuo ritorno Sei cosi sicura del mio amore Da portarlo via con te Chiuso nelle mani che ti porti al viso Ripensando ancora a me E se ti servira' lo mostri al mondo Che non sa che vita c'e` Nel cuore che distratto sembra assente Non sa che vita c'e` In quello che soltanto il cuore sente Non sa
Qui ti aspettero' E rubero' i baci al tempo Tempo che non basta a cancellare Coi ricordi il desiderio che Resta chiuso nelle mani che ti porti al viso Ripensando a me E ti accompagnera' passando le citta' da me Da me che sono ancora qui E sogno cose che non so di te Dove sara' che strada fara' il tuo ritorno Sogno
Qui ti aspettero' E rubero' i baci al tempo Sogno Un rumore il vento che mi sveglia E sie gia' qua
English Translation:
DREAM
Go then, I will wait for you The flowers in the garden will mark your absence And rejoice the day of your return Of my love you are so sure So sure you can take it with you Cupped in the hands that you raise to your face As you still think of me And if you need to, you can show it to the world A world that couldn't begin to understand what lives In an uncaring absent heart That couldn't begin to understand what a heart can truly feel
This is where I will wait for you Stealing imaginary kisses as time goes by Time, time cannot erase the memories and the desire That you cup in the hands you raise to your face As you still think of me Throughout your journey it will lead you back to me For I'll still be waiting here, dreaming Dreaming of your unknown whereabouts Picturing the scene you'll return to, and how you'll return I dream
This is where I will wait for you Stealing imaginary kisses as time goes by Dream A noise, the wind awakes me And you're already here
SOMEONE LIKE YOU (E SARÀ A SETTEMBRE)
There’s a wind that blows It’s calling your name And it speaks to me again and again Telling me go to her Don’t let her go Hold her close to you Then you will know the meaning of love Exactly what it’s all about The feeling that I get when I can’t forget Everything that makes me want to [you] That’s how deep it goes All I really know Is that I love you so and
If it’s the only thing I ever do Then I know it’s true That I should love someone like you Someone who believes in me Makes my voice to sing with a heart so free As sure as I can be For me if one dream can come true Then I will love someone like you
In your eyes I see A life that could mean so much more With you next to me And if time is cruel Well I won’t run and hide I could walk through fire with you by my side Cause after all if we want forever There’s a hand to hold Through the sad and cold When nobody wants to know you
So never let it go and you’ll never be alone knowing that I love you so and
If it’s the only thing I ever do Then I know it’s true That I should love someone like you Someone who believes in me Makes my voice to sing with a heart so free As sure as I can be For me if one dream can come true Then I will love someone like you
So never let it go and you’ll never be alone knowing that I love you so and

Then I should love someone like you
Dare To Live (Vivere)
Try looking at tomorrow not yesterday And all the things you left behind All those tender words you did not say The gentle touch you couldn't find
In these days of nameless faces There is no one truth but only pieces My life is all i have to give
Dare to live until the very last Dare to live forget about the past Dare to live giving something of yourself to others Even when it seems there's nothing more left to give
Ma se tu vedessi l'uomo Davanti al tuo portone Che dorme avvolto in un cartone, Se tu ascoltassi il mondo una mattina Senza il rumore della pioggia, Tu che puoi creare con la tua voce, Tu, pensi i pensieri della gente, Poi, di Dio c'e solo Dio.
Vivere, nessuno mai ce l'ha insegnato, Vivere, non si può vivere senza passato, Vivere è bello anche se non l'hai chiesto mai, Una canzone ci sarà, qualcuno che la canterà
Dare to live searching for the ones you love (Perché, perché, perché, perché non vivi questa sera?) Dare to live no one but we all (Perché, perché, perché, perché non vivi ora?) Dare to live until the very last (Perché, perché, perché la vita non è vita) Your life is all you have to give (Perché) non l'hai vissuta Vivere!
Dare to live until the very last (Perché, perché, perché Ia vita non è vita) Your life is all you have to give (Perché) non l'hai vissuta mai
I will say no (I will say yes) Say dare to live Dare to live
This Quotes means: A true friend is one who helps you when you are in need.
This Quotes proved themselves when I was in really in bad situation.
I heard a shocking news in sept 2011, knowing that my father had metastases on his liver.
The long story was begun in about June 2011, that was when my father had a very bad cough. We thought that it might be just a common cough and my father had gone to a doctor and drinking his medicines. This cough didn't getting less at all in fact that i heard that he cannot get up from bed for a week and he did not want to go to the doctor, "No, I'm only "masuk angin", it will be okay if i drink this jamoo". Well, my father really hard to himself.
Yes, we've met several times since his ill and sound like his cough not too hard anymore and still thought that it just common cough. in september 2011, his youngest brother take him to have a lab checking...the result was so shocking!! He has metastase (Cancer spread) on his liver, hearing that kind of thing my head spinning around, my heart was trembling don't know what to do.
And the story continues...my father's youngest brother is very kind. He took my father here and there to consult with the doctor, trying acupuncture etc just trying to relieve a little bit. My father lost about 20-35KG of weight during his illness...2 weeks in adi husada hospital surabaya and about 12 days in RKZ hospital at malang.
Our God is so kind, He is all mighty...during our bad condition supporting my father's medical treatment so many family and friends come to visit. Their visit showed how much they care to us, CARE! that's all matter....
My dearest uncle Hari Susanto, my mom's family, dearest friends....thank you for supporting us, stand beside us and pray hard for us...God Bless U all....
i don't want to tell all complete story about my father's illness and funerals.....still we all missed him...
(to my dearest step mom and my younger brother......PLEASE DEH!!)
Well, this "quotes" is often heard on motivational event, but this quotes has proven on this story:
Just a little story when i was on my way home from out of town.
I was using airplane back form Jakarta to Surabaya, it was about 10pm and i know that we are all tired, sleepy and wanted to get back home ASAP.
Well, i also had very bad headache but still my mind and my eyes are aware. The airplane was just about touching the ground and some of the passenger already turn on their hand phone or their blackberry..."oooohhh what so impatient people" that's what i said on my mind....so many broadcast message on email or blackberry about airplane accident because of radio signal from the passenger just did not wakened up their mind........pleaseeeee deeehhhh....bad habit !!!!
They can complain about anything, about the small thing but they didn't want to be complained at all!!! (another very bad habit). They will stop that habits if something happened (kecentok bahasa indonesiannya eh bahasa jawanya)
Another thing i want to share is Please be patient!
People nowadays cannot wait about 1-2 minutes; on the public transport we cannot wait to get up or get down, we even grumble when the driver don't open the door immediately. We said bad things when something small happened: dirty, wet or whatsoever....PLEASE DEH...!!!!
DO SOMETHING WILL YA!!!!
If you don't wanna experience flood, don't littering; if you don't want to wait, find another way; if you don't want to be late, go earlier...don't complain...just do something...
