God is crazy about us hehehe

THE CAKE MIX

Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God have to do this to me?"

Here is a wonderful explanation!

A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she'sfailing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend ismoving away.

Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she wouldlike a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake"

"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers. "Yuck" says herdaughter.

"How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!"

"Well, would you like some flour then.......or maybe baking soda?"

"Mom, those are all yucky!"To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all bythemselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make awonderfully delicious cake!God works the same way.

Many times we wonder why He would let us gothrough such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts thesethings all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trustHim and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!

God is crazy about us!

He sends us flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.

Whenever we want to talk.....He listens.

He can live anywhere in the universe...... but He chose our heart!

Life may not be the party we hoped for......but while the music lasts and weare still here......we might as well dance!

God Said :

1. Quit Worrying:
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over little thing that comes your way?

2. Put it on the List:
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not yours list. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to ME. And although MY to-do-list is long, I am after all …………God. I can take care of anything you put into MY hands, In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.

3. Trust ME:
Once you have given your burdens to ME, quit trying to take them back. Trust in ME. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on MY list. Problem with finances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.

4. Leave it Alone:
Don't wake up in morning and say, "Well, I am feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It is simple. You gave Me your burdens and I am taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in My peace. Don't you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with Me and forget about them. Just let Me do my job.

5. Talk to Me:
I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I am in control. But there is one thing I pray you never forget. Please don't forget to talk to Me – OFTEN! I LOVE YOU! I want to hear your voice. I want you to include Me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest friend.

6. Have Faith:
I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in Me that I know what I am doing. Trust Me; you wouldn't want the view from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing simple part. How hard can trust be?

7. Share:
You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joys with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who have not heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.

8. Be Patient:
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on My to-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

9. Be Kind:
Be kind to others for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be so boring if you were all identical. Please, know I love each of your differences.

10. Love Yourself:
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by Me for one reason only – to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of love. Love Me. Love your neighbours. But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to Me.

Cheerish mode: MUST ON

Woah..long time since I did my last post until Asma said "Why u never wrote anything in your blog"...

What a remainder hehehe

Probably, nowadays I keep talking to my self regarding anything that happen..even I seldom ol..hmmm

SOPHIE'S WORLD by Jostein Gaarder

The book that attract my attention, "SOPHIE'S WORLD by Jostein Gaarder". This is a book that full of decades philosophy words by Thiles until Aristotle ( I haven't finished read the book). It is a great book so far, it answered some of my questions..somehow it is related.

I like this paragraph influenced by Aristotle:

Suddenly Sophie said, "Have you wondered why we are alive,Mom?"

'Oh, not again!' (Mom)
'Yes, because now I know the answer. People living in this planet so that someone can go around and giving names to everything.'(Sophie)
'Is that right? I never though that'(Mom)
'Then you have a big problem, because human is a thinking animal. If you don't think, you'r not really a human' (Sophie) (page 100)

I also found something that there is a similarity between Indian,Greek and Latin

The Ancient Indians worshipped the celestial god Dyaus, which in Sanskrit means the sky, day, heaven/Heaven. In Greek this god is called Zeus, in Latin, Jupiter (actually iov-pater, or 'Father Heaven'), and in Old Norse, Tyr. So the names Dyaus, Zeus, lov, and Tyr are dialec variants of the same word." (page 126).

So it's true that basically all of us come from one source!!!

Btw, I borrowed it from INTI library hehehe.. anyone that interested in philosophy.. u'r lucky enough to read this book!!!!

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People

Tujuh kebiasaan pembangun kemenangan dijabarkan oleh Stephen R. Coveydalam bukunnya 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, merupakan esensi perwujudan dari upaya kita untuk menjadi seseorang yang seimbang, utuh, dan kuat, serta menciptakan sebuah tim yang saling melengkapi berdasarkan rasa saling menghormati. Hal ini adalah merupakan prinsip-prinsip dari karakter pribadi.

Habit 1 - Proactive

Menjadi proaktif adalah sesuatu yang lebih dari sekedar mengambil inisiatif. Proaktif berarti menyadari bahwa kita bertanggung jawab terhadap pilihan-pilihan kita dan memiliki kebebasan untuk memilih berdasarkan prinsip dan nilai, dan bukan berdasarkan suasana hati atau kondisi di sekitar kita. Orang-orang yang proaktif adalah agen-agen perubahan, dan memilih untuk tidak menjadi korban, untuk tidak menjadi reaktif; mereka memilih untuk tidak menyalahkan orang lain.

Habit 2 – Start from the End

Individu, keluarga, tim dan organisasi membentuk masa depan mereka dengan terlebih dahulu menciptakan sebuah visi mental untuk segala proyek, baik besar maupun kecil, pribadi atau antarpribadi. Mereka tidak sekedar hidup dari hari ke hari tanpa tujuan yang jelas dalam pikiran mereka. Mereka mengidentifikasi diri dan memberikan komitmen terhadap prinsip, hubungan, dan tujuan yang paling berarti bagi mereka.

Habit 3 – Put First thing first

Mendahulukan yang utama berarti mengatur aktivitas dan melaksanakannya berdasarkan prioritas-prioritas yang paling penting. Apa pun situasinya, hal itu berarti menjalani kehidupan dengan didasarkan pada prinsip-prinsip yang dirasakan paling berharga, bukan oleh agenda dan kekuatan sekitar yang mendesak saja.

Habit 4 – Think Win Win

Berpikir menang-menang adalah kerangka pikiran dan hati yang berusaha mencari manfaat bersama dan saling menghormati di dalam segala jenis interaksi. Berpikir menang-menang adalah berpikir dengan dasar-dasar Mentalitas Berkelimpahan yang melihat banyak peluang, dan bukan berpikir dengan Mentalitas Berkekurangan dan persaingan yang saling mematikan. Karakter ini bukanlah berpikir secara egois (menang-kalah) atau seperti martir (kalah-menang) . Karakter ini adalah berpikir dengan mengacu kepada kepentingan “kita”, bukan “aku”.


Habit 5 – Effective Communication

Effective Communication yang dimaksud adalah berkomunikasi dengan empathy; berusaha memahami dulu, baru kemudian berusaha dipahami. Jika kita mendengar dengan maksud untuk memahami orang lain, dan bukan sekedar untuk mencai celah untuk menjawab, kita bisa memulai komunikasi dan pembentukan hubungan yang sejati. Peluang-peluang untuk berbicara secara terbuka dan untuk dipahami kemudian akan datang secara lebih alamiah dan mudah. Berusaha untuk memahami memerlukan pertimbangan matang; berusaha untuk dipahami memerlukan keberanian. Efektivitas terletak pada menyeimbangkan atau menggabungkan keduanya.

Habit 6 – Synergy

Sinergi adalah alternatif ketiga – bukan cara saya, cara Anda, tetapi sebuah cara ketiga yang lebih baik daripada apa yang bisa kita capai sendiri-sendiri. Sinergi merupakan buah dari sikap menghormati, menghargai, dan bahkan merayakan adanya perbedaan di antara orang-orang. Sinergi bersangkut paut dengan upaya untuk memecahkan masalah, meraih peluang dan menyelesaikan perbedaan. Ini seperti kerja sama kreatif di mana 1 + 1 = 3, 11, 111, … atau lebih banyak lagi. Sinergi juga merupakan kunci keberhasilan dari tim atau hubungan efektif mana pun. Sebuah tim yang bersinergi adalah sebuah tim yang saling melengkapi, di mana tim itu diatur sedemikian rupa sehingga kekuatan dari para anggotanya bisa saling menutupi kelemahan-kelemahan nya. Dengan cara ini kita mengoptimalkan kekuatan, bekerja dengan kekuatan tersebut, dan membuat kelemahan dari masing-masing orang menjadi tidak relevan.

Habit 7 – Sharpen the Saw

Mengasah gergaji berkenaan dengan upaya kita untuk memperbarui diri secara terus-menerus pada empat bidang dasar kehidupan: fisik, sosial/emosional, mental, dan spiritual. Ini adalah karakter yang meningkatkan kapasitas kita untuk menjalankan semua kebiasaan lain yang akan meningkatkan efektivitas kita.

Tiga kebiasaan pertama (Proactive, Start form the End, Put First thing First) akan meningkatkan rasa percaya diri secara signifikan yang berujung kepada kemenangan pribadi (Private Victory). Ketiga karakter berikutnya (Think Win-win, Effective Communication, Sinergy) akan memperbaiki dan membina kembali hubungan tim menjadi lebih solid, lebih kreatif dan mencapai kemenangan publik (Public Victory). Kebiasaan ketujuh, jika dihayati secara mendalam, akan memperbarui enam kebiasaan yang pertama dan akan membuat kita benar-benar mandiri dan mampu untuk saling tergantung secara efektif. Karakter ini memperbarui integritas dan rasa aman seseorang yang berasal dari kedalaman dirinya sendiri (Karakter 1, 2 dan 3) dan memperbarui semangat maupun karakter untuk membentuk tim yang saling melengkapi (Karakter 4, 5 dan 6).
