Aku Cinta Indonesia

Aku cinta Indonesia
Aku cinta Indonesia, sampai mati akan tetap cinta ... meskipun ia dihancurkan ... meskipun ia hancur. Sementara aku berada di tanah ... Aku akan tetap mengasihi Indonesia.

Ibu bumi sekarang sangat sedih, apalagi sekarang musim hujan ... air mata air kami lebih banyak air mata. Apakah kita tidak merasa kasihan padanya? Ibu pertiwi meratapi anak-anaknya tidak lagi akan menghargai itu, juga akan menghargai anak-anak yang sebelumnya telah berjuang untuk hak-hak mereka menuju kemerdekaan, sehingga anak-anak mereka masih muda tetap dapat menikmati hak-hak mereka secara bebas.

Aku sangat kasihan ibu pertiwiku tercinta. Sekarang para penyerbu mulai lagi menggerogoti negeri kita, mencuri semua kekayaan negara kita .... Ibu pertiwi menjerit sangat keras melampiaskan kesedihannya terjadi. Aku sangat menyesal. Tapi apa yang bisa saya lakukan? Apa yang dapat saya lakukan adalah aku berusaha keras untuk melakukannya.

Sampah pada tempatnya, merawat bunga-bunga dan pohon-pohon di taman, memiliki peran sebagai pelaku di daerah kesenian tradisional untuk menjaga kekayaan budaya negara kita, berjalan kaki untuk menghemat minyak dalam perut bumi ibu bumi, putar mati listrik ketika tidak diperlukan, belajar keras agar suatu hari nanti aku dapat membuat ibu pertiwi tersenyum.

Tapi jika hanya aku dan segelintir orang yang melakukannya apakah cukup?

Jika aku hanya membuang sampah saya hanya tidak egois, jadi tidak ingin membuang sampah lain di sampah orang lain? Tapi aku tidak punya kekuatan sebanyak itu untuk membuang semua sampah di buang milyaran putra dan putri ibu pertiwi di negeri ini, juga orang-orang yang juga peduli ....

Jika aku hanya merawat bunga-bunga dan pepohonan di kebunku sendiri apakah cukup? Sementara di luar sana juga beberapa orang yang berlaku lebih daripada aku, tapi di sisi lain ada orang-orang jadi bagaimana bisa menebang pohon sesuka hati? Apa yang tidak mereka butuhkan untuk bernapas. Pohon sumber oksigen bagi kita, jika tidak ada pohon untuk napas untuk memakai? Bukankah kalau kita tidak bernapas beberapa menit hanya untuk mati? Mau pakai apa napas pasokan oksigen ketika alam atau buatan manusia telah habis?

Jika aku pergi untuk melestarikan budaya kita, sementara saudara yang lain melestarikan budaya negara-negara lain, akan habis kekayaan budaya kita kan? Akan punah seperti badak bercula satu di ujung barat pulau Jawa.

Jadi apa yang harus dilakukan, saya tidak punya kekuatan untuk itu untuk mengundang orang untuk melakukan hal yang sama. Saya juga tidak punya banyak keberanian untuk memanggil saudara-saudaraku semua, saya juga tidak memiliki hak untuk mengubah ini. Aku bertanya kepada Tuhan selalu ... tetapi TUHAN akan berubah HANYA SATU NEGARA MEREKA INGINKAN JIKA mengubah negara sendiri.

Pasti salah satu, tidak bisa saya sendirian! Jadi, hai saudara telah meninggalkan bumi, MEMBUAT IBU PERTIWI KITA TERSENYUM KEMBALI ....

I love Indonesia

I love Indonesia, to death will remain in love ... though he destroyed ... although he was shattered. While I was in the land of ... I would still love Indonesia.

Mother earth now was really sad, especially now that the rainy season ... tears of our motherland more tears. Do we not feel sorry for him? Mother earth mourn his children were no longer going to appreciate it, nor will appreciate the children who previously had been fighting for their rights to independence, so that their children are young can still enjoy their rights freely.

I'm very sorry for pertiwiku beloved mother. Now the invaders began again undermine our country, stealing all the wealth of our country .... Motherland scream louder desperately vent his grief to occur. I was so sorry. But what can I do? What can I do is I try so hard to do.

Garbage in place, caring for the flowers and trees in the garden, had a role as a principal in the county of traditional arts to maintain the rich culture of our country, on foot to save oil in the bowels of the earth mother earth, turn off electricity when not needed, learn to hard so that someday I can make the motherland a smile.

But if only I and a handful of people who do it is it enough?

If I just throw my trash just does not selfish, so do not want to throw other trash in the waste of others? But I do not have that much power to dispose of all garbage in the waste of billions of sons and daughters of the motherland in this country, are also those people who also care ....

If I just take care of the flowers and trees in my own garden is it enough? While out there are also some people who apply more than me, but on the other hand there are people so how could cut down trees at will? What they do not need to breathe. Tree source of oxygen for us, if there is no tree to breath to wear? Is not if we do not breathe a few minutes just to die? Want to wear what a breath of oxygen supply when natural or man-made had expired?

If I go to preserve our culture, while another brother preserve the culture of other countries, wealth will be exhausted our culture right? Will become extinct like the one-horned rhinos at the western tip of Java island.

So what to do, I do not have the strength for it to invite people to do the same. I also do not have that much courage to call my brothers all, I also do not have the right to change this. I asked the Lord always ... but the LORD will change ONLY ONE OF THE STATE IF THEY WANT change his own state.

Must be one of, can not I alone! So, O brother has left earth, PERTIWI WE MAKE MOM SMILE AGAIN ....

Fear of the dark

Like many children, when I was young I hated the darkness. I hated everything about it. I loved being outside during the bright sunshine of the day to play and discover new things with friends, but you couldn't get me to take a walk in the darkness of night to save my life. I loved playing with my toys and siblings in the basement, but you couldn't get me to be the first one to enter the darkness and turn on the lights. I simply hated the darkness. It scared me more than anything else

I think the biggest thing that bothered me about the darkness was the fact that it represented the unfamiliar and the unknown to me. In the sunlight of day I could see all around me. I could walk and run and explore while seeing all there was to see. Darkness has a way of hiding the potential dangers and scary things in life, and I for one didn't like it.

Does anyone else relate to my childhood plight? Do any other adults remember being afraid in darkness? After having four children of my own, I have learned that being afraid of darkness is quite common among children. They do not like the unknown of darkness and very literally, they do not like being hindered from seeing what is around them. Of course, as I have grown up, my fear of darkness has subsided drastically as I have learned that the same things I can see in the light are still there when it turns to darkness. I have realized that nothing extra is out to haunt me in darkness.

I have intentionally been trying to help my children overcome their fear of darkness. We have been taking short walks as a family as darkness begins to settle in at the end of the day. They are fine as long as we are talking and as long as they can grab a hand with someone else. There is something profoundly connected between the fear of darkness and the fear of being alone I have realized. So I am attempting to break their fear of darkness by reinforcing that they are not alone. Having my children share bedrooms with each other has also greatly helped them in the process of overcoming their fears of darkness. With two people in a room nothing is as scary and usually one will stand up and be strong in the face of fear.

I write all this to say simply that life is full of things to be afraid of. It is our choice, however, how we choose to let things like darkness or lonliness affect us. We can be overcome or we can learn to overcome our fears. I'd suggest that life is far too short to spend it in fear of darkness or any other thing.

Making a good first impression

Making a good first impression
Making a good impression on new business contacts is important as it means that the other person will take you seriously from the beginning, and feel comfortable doing business with you.
Greetings
How do you greet someone when you first meet them? Do you kiss their cheek, "airkiss" (kiss the air next to their cheek), hug, squeeze their arm, or shake their hand? The choice of greeting is confusing to many British people who, up until recently, would shake hands in a business context and only kiss close friends or relatives.
Social kissing has become more common in British business culture over the last few years (especially between people who already have a business relationship). However, it is better to give a firm handshake when you meet someone for the first time. This is particularly true when you meet people from cultures where social kissing is not generally practised.
Introducing yourself
(In order of formality)
- How do you do? (With a falling intonation.)
(Correct response is "How do you do?" also with a falling intonatin.)
- Pleased to meet you. I'm …
- Nice to meet you. I'm …
- Hello. I'm…
- Hi!
Responding to introductions
You can generally use the same words as the person who has introduced him or herself. So if someone says "Pleased to meet you. I'm …." you can also say "Pleased to meet you. I'm…." Alternatively, you can just give your name as a reply, but make sure you sound confident, rather than speaking too quietly for the other person to hear.
Introducing others
(in order of formality)
- May I introduce you to…
- Could / Can I introduce you to…
- Let me introduce you to…
- I'd like you to meet…
- I don't believe you've met…
- Have you met…
- X, this is Y. Y, this is X.
Who do you introduce first?
In "Mr A, I'd like you to meet Mr B", Mr A has the higher status. When you are introduced to someone, you can use a standard phrase such as "Pleased to meet you". You don't need to say much at all, unless you are asked a direct question.
As you introduce someone, use your arm to gesture. So if you have Mr A on your left hand side and you want him to meet Mr B, move your right forearm slowly away from your body in the direction of Mr B so that it is clear who you are introducing.
Making small talk
If you meet someone at a business function, you'll probably spend a couple of minutes in small talk after you introduce yourselves. The topic of small talk is often related to the situation. For example, if you are both at a business conference, the topic of conversation will probably be the conference itself. "Interesting seminars this year" could be the starting point, or "Did you go to the talk by X?" If you are unsure about what to say, take your cue from the other person, responding to their questions, and taking the conversation further:
A: Did you go to the talk by X?
B: Yes, I did. I thought it was really interesting. Are you going to the seminar this afternoon?
A: Interesting seminars this year.
B: Yes, I agree. I particularly liked the one on Asian markets.
Saying good bye
Use a polite phrase to show that you have to leave the other person.
- Well, it was nice meeting you.
- Well, it was a pleasure to meet you.
