Never fear shadows

"Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining
somewhere nearby."

-- Ruth Renkel



Children are usually afraid of shadows, they're not yet used to encounter those event. But there is a lesson that it would like to reveal, that we must not be afraid of facing and learning new obstacles, shadows are unpredictable because we're not sure if who possesses it. In our early days we are also afraid of shadows, but later on we have learned that if that is not ours, that is belong to anybody. Shadows are shown because there is light, shadows are like problems or test, that in achieving something, there is corresponding sacrifice and perseverance. The funny thing is, we're afraid of our own shadow the reflection of ourselves. Shadows are like perspective, the imaginary image of the physical body.

A man would do nothing if he waited

"A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so
well that no one would find fault with what he has done."

-- Cardinal Newman





No one had done and performed something without committing any single mistake, if you don't commit mistake it signifies that you didn't do anything. What hinders us to perform is our fear of committing mistakes, let us overcome it. In fact, in area of learning, mistakes are lessons.

Success Formula

"If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X+Y+Z, where X
is work, Y is play, and Z is keep your mouth shut."

-- Albert Einstein



Several authors and philosophers shared their way and formula for success, but one of which that convince and inspire me is this quote, not that the author is known genius, but the way he relates and expound it simply had convince me of doing it. To work is to have focus on your task, play so that it will not be hard or burden in our part, and keep our mouth shut because I believed in LESS Talk MORE Work attitude.

Early Rising Habit

Cultivate the habit of early rising, it is unwise to keep the head long at the level of the feet.


-Henry David Thoreau


Sometimes we neglect schedules and task because we spent so much time in laying down in our beds, we follow the wants of our body and not the dictates of the head. But we must put in mind that to be able to accomplished and finished much task in a single day, we must develop the habit of rising early, and push ourselves to rise early. If we can maintain the habit of early rising, i'm sure that more problems to be solved, more task to be accomplished, and better life will be ahead of us.

Human Relations

Good human relations is nothing more than treating the other fellow as if it were his last day on earth, not yours!


-Cylvia A. Sorkin


There are times that we can only feel the love to a person when they are sick and dying, that we can only see their value when they're gone. We must see more importance in a person compare to things, sometimes if a person commit mistakes like losing a certain thing or accidentally destroyed matters, we treat them like less important than the things or matter they lost or destroyed. We must put in mind that human relation can't replace by the value of matters, that our fellows are more important than things. We will not live and get along with people for long, so we share good moments and encounter with them, so that we will left a lasting happy memories with our love ones and fellow.

Mother that makes a home worthwhile

Though a mother stays home and keeps her house clean, it is still not a home unless she creates the right spirit in the house. It is the atmosphere created primarily  by the mother that makes a home worthwhile.


-Bookhoff


We always expect mothers as housekeeper, the one who is in charge in home management, but there are times that they can't performed their usual task, because they need to help the father in providing the needs. The father's salary this days is not sufficient to purchase the needs of the family, that mother and other able family members must help to obtain the needs of the family. Sometimes the mother don't have time and neglect her duty as housekeeper, but maintaining the household management is not the prime requirement in having a good family. It is maintaining the good atmosphere of family relation that is essential and must. Giving and having time to every family member is the most important thing, it is not the things we give that make them complete, but the warm family relation that grows is the most important and will make it complete.

Make your life a mission

"Make your life a mission --- not an intermission."

-- Arnold Glasgow



We live and exist with purpose, the time that we spent will be futile if we'll not use it for more important and profitable cause. Don't use more time for relaxation and idleness, the time we spent will not come again, make every time, energy, and effort count. Let us serve as pattern and inspiration for good cause.  

The World can be Big or Small

It's a Big world to those who are seeking, but it is too Small to those who are hiding.


-David Danio Jr.


It is so hard to find someone who is hiding, but more difficult for someone to hide. When someone commit mistake or don't want to be found, it is very difficult to find safe place where you can live conveniently, you're always restless staring around because there might be someone hunting you, life is so difficult for the one who is hiding, that even though it is a big world, you will feel insecurities because sometimes you're not aware if what will happen next. 
To someone who is looking around and hunting, it is also very difficult and tiresome, you will encounter and experience the feeling like finding a needle in a big dump of hay. But what a satisfying and inexpressible feeling when you have found something that you want to be found, joy and excitement. But in every effort of hiding and finding, there are good and bad effects of it, and the nice thing is you've achieved the mission.
