Be Wise, That's the KEY

Living in this world isn’t as easy as we think. There are a lot of temptations coming and leaving in our life. All those provoke our emotion, and knock down our patience. In the end, when the sun is burning our head at noon, and the cold wind is crushing to bits our body in the evening, we feel frustrated. Even, we directly think that we have failed in this life, and prefer to run from the temptations, lose of hope.

Normally, we are most afraid of age. Time running very fast everyday, drags our life into older and older, so that, it’s slowly but sure, our confidence becomes less and less. However, we will never be able to run from this destiny. This is what we must accept, and build up our awareness that we have to take benefits along our ages. This consciousness should also be supported by our attitudes and behaviors. And the most important is that we need to have an attitude of wisdom in which this attitude can be a key of our success in this world.

Being wise is a gift from God. If We always behave our problems without any regrets and complains, we will undergo our life easily. It is because God has decorated our soul with wisdom, so that the problems we are facing, are hoped not to make us frustrated, even loses of hope. We should see our problems not only by using our own eyes, but we ought to see the problems with our mind’s eye too. So That, the more problem attacking us day by day, we can be wiser and wiser. In the end, when we win, we won't be arrogant, but modest. Moreover if we fail, they will always try to get lessons of their failures, and promise to ourselves that we will never make the same mistakes in the future.

However, it seems that the advance of period has erased the wisdom in our heart. This fact makes so many riots and violence to come to the surface of this life. We have even forgotten how to be a person who appreciates our logical mind. We can’t even hear white voices in our heart. We’re now like an animal that more follows our passion just for survival. In this situation, discussions become useless. We indirectly reform jungle-law in which the strongest oppresses the weakest, and the weakest tries to survive by rebelling—not rebelling for the truth but for being a thief. What a life! We can just be a watcher, or maybe a lover who enjoys this situation. Our wisdom fades away from our soul.

Now, before the situation becomes worse, it’s time for us to see again deep inside our heart. Can we still feel smarting when a sewing needle stabs our body? Can we still feel cold when we take off our clothes in the cold evening? If we think that we can still feel them all, it means we are still human being. We still have feelings in our heart. So we must change the way of our life. We must stop all pessimistic thoughts, and become wiser in thinking of this life, especially in thinking of all realities in this world. Finally, we must get back the wisdom in our soul. We must re-lighten wisdom, so that we will not go down in this world easily. And of course, we finally realize that to make our dreams come true, we must keep forever the only key of success; that is WISDOM…

I Forget That I Love You

Stella was walking in a deserted alley. It was in the late evening. The alley was very dark. It was only the moon that lit up the night. "Love will never tell lies" whispered Stella to herself.

The wind blew strongly, made Stella feel cold, though she was wearing a very tick jacket. She stared for a moment gaze into the sky, it was quiet. There were no stars decorating the sky. Ooh... She suddenly felt lonely, after that she thought of her lover. "I hate him!" she cried silently. "Why did he betray me?" she muttered again.

Suddenly Stella tried to remember again when she was quarreling with her boy friend two hours before.

"Please, Stella, trust me..." Roger sulked to Stella, his girlfriend.

"What can i trust from your words? I have even forgotten that I love you!" Stella snapped. She seemed to be burning with jealousy.

How not? Stella had seen Roger walking with a woman in a mall the day before. That time, Roger and the girl walked arm in arm. And to Stella, the fact was enough for her to think that Roger had betrayed her love--her sincere love.

"But you must trust me..." said Roger silently again. But the words sounded useless, because Stella had walked away.

"I'll prove to you, Stella, that my love with you seriously..." Roger then went in the opposite direction with Stella.

Oooh... Stella suddenly cried for having to remember the quarrel. But, she just went on the steps, heading home.

The morning had come to the accompaniment of chirping birds. Sunlight that penetrated through the sidelines of the window, touching the skin of Stella's eyes were still closed. Stella was very lazy to get up from her bed, but she had to go to school. School? Considering about it made her lazier to get up. Because, she knew that she would meet Roger there. Then, with a lazy step, she finally got up and walked toward the bathroom, "I hope i won't meet him at school"

The class was deserted. Stella looked at her watch. "What the??? it's 7 already. Where are the other students???"

Stella then walked to her desk. When she arrived at her desk, she found a paper. she opened it, and read the writings in the the paper, "This class will not start if you don't forgive me". Stella gasped for a moment. She liked the sentence, but when she wanted to keep it, she suddenly remembered that it must be Roger who wrote this. "Yes, it must be him...!!!" Then she threw the paper. And when she wanted to sit down, dozens of students came to the classroom by carrying a large banner with the inscription: "IF YOU FORGET THAT YOU LOVE ME, I WILL MAKE YOU REMEMBER IT AGAIN WITH MY LOVE."

And a moment later, Roger came into the classroom too. He carried a flower. He stepped toward Stella. Stella was nervous. She wanted to scream, and she longed to berate Roger. But, she didn't know why she felt difficult doing it. This time Roger had stoop up in front of her, "Stella..." said Roger calmly. But before he continued his words, he looked back at his friends who had supported and helped him. He winked his right eye to his friends for a while, it made his friends smile to him.

"I never lie to you" said Roger again after looking back to Stella, "All I want in this world is only you. I'm not lying. It's true, this feeling comes from deep inside my heart. About the girl you saw yesterday. Mm... I forgot to tell you that I have a little sister. She studies in Australia. And yesterday, she wanted me to accompany her to buy a new dress."

"You're lying!" Stella snapped.

"No, he's not lying..." suddenly a beautiful girl came, and walked closed Stella and Roger, "I'm his sister... Hello, My name is Hanna..."

Stella was confused. She knew now that she had misunderstood.But, she felt shy to stare at Roger's eyes. Roger, because he knew Stella, just embarrassed Stella. So did Stella, She cried on Roger's chest...

Looking at this moment, all the students there clapped their hands. But suddenly, came a terrible sound. It was a teacher's voice, "Is there anyone who can tell me what happening is here???"

All the students, of course, just ran toward their desks hurriedly...

above the sky, the angel of love smiled looking at Stella and Roger's love that reunited... (^_^)

TOEFL OH TOEFL

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (or TOEFL, pronounced "toe-full") evaluates the ability of an individual to use and understand English in an academic setting. It sometimes is an admission requirement for non-native English speakers at many English-speaking colleges and universities.


Additionally, institutions such as government agencies, licensing bodies, businesses, or scholarship programs may require this test. A TOEFL score is valid for two years and then will no longer be officially reported since a candidate's language proficiency could have significantly changed since the date of the test. Colleges and universities usually consider only the most recent TOEFL score.

The TOEFL test is a registered trademark of Educational Testing Service (ETS) and is administered worldwide. The test was first administered in 1964 and has since been taken by more than 23 million students. The test was originally developed at the Center for Applied Linguistics led by the linguist, Dr. Charles A. Ferguson.[1]

Policies governing the TOEFL program are formulated with advice from a 16-member board. Board members are affiliated with undergraduate and graduate schools, 2-year institutions and public or private agencies with an interest in international education. Other members are specialists in the field of English as a foreign or second language.

The TOEFL Committee of Examiners is composed of 12 specialists in linguistics, language testing, teaching or research. Its main responsibility is to advise on TOEFL test content. The committee helps ensure the test is a valid measure of English language proficiency reflecting current trends and methodologies.

Lets Be A Star

(I dedicate this poem to all my students)


Lets see the stars in the sky
They are shining to all the creatures in the world
Lets see inside our heart
There's something dark and missing: Dream


Will we keep on remembering,
At the first time we opened our eyes in this life?
Prayers showered our soul to be the best person
To be the most patient person
To be the most generous person
To be the wisest person for all the creatures
To be a star for everything needs us

Lets see the flowers in the gardern
They are as beautiful as the people who have a dream
Lets see the mountains up there
They are as strong as the people who struggle for their dreams

We may not always undergo this life happily
We're not probably able to run of problems
But, can we realize that God gives us problem
As a lesson to be a winner...?

Now, Lets sing loudly in the clouds
" We are a star
Who clean our heart
We are a flower
And,
We are a mountain...
For the name of The Almigthy"

The Dream must Come True

When we were born, we were naked. We didn’t bring anything into this world. And then, we grow up. At the first five years, we could only understand that something was exciting, and another thing was annoying, even it’s dangerous. After that, we entered our school. There, we started to adore someone or an occupation, so that we could say easily, “I want to be a pilot” or “I want to be Spiderman”. The second one is the funniest. The impact of Television seems to have made some children play in their empty dream. However, this isn’t a big deal. The point is we, when we’re still a child, could still notice our dream. It is different after we step into our teenager, adolescence, and old period. When we step those periods, we seem to be difficult identifying our dreams. Though, we all really agree that our dreams must come true.
Therefore, from the last sentence of the paragraph above, it is clear that we won’t never be able to make our dreams come true before we’re able to know what kind of dream that we want. And it is also clear that our blindness of our dream makes most of us get lost in this life, so that there are some of us forget the importance of achieving our dream and would rather shift our life by doing something useless, such as consuming drugs, spending our night-life in clubs, and even doing some criminal actions.
Now, let’s think how well we understand that dreams are important for us? And then, why don’t we try to find out the meaning of a real dream in this life? Some of us probably think that we just do it, and we don’t have to think about it. How come? Can we do a journey in a desert without any maps that can lead us to get our goals? Of course not, guys. It is as same as we suicide, and make us loose of hope in the end. I think we all refuse to be in this situation, don’t we?
Well, actually, there are some benefits if we plan our dream first before we do efforts to realize it. First, if we know our dream, at least we can do some preparation. We can set some strategies, our best strategies, to make it come true. Secondly, we’ll be more ready if we fail, and this fact won’t make us loose of hope, because we have considered the consequences and the risks before, so it can push ourselves to check our mistakes again why we fail, and of course after we find the mistakes, we’ll be more confident to continue our efforts.
Guys, believe it or not, a dream is like music. We must like the music first, then we can enjoy it, even we can try to make our own music, and if we can create our own music successfully, though other people may see our music is bad, we won’t care of them, because we feel satisfied with a result coming from our own creation, and of course, by this time we have one new idea to make much better music at the future. Yeah, the point is that the first success can motivate our heart to achieve better success.
Finally, no matter what, we must decide what dream we want to achieve now. Whatever that is, we don’t have to feel afraid and pessimistic that the dream is too high or abstract. We will never know our destiny. But we must trust that nothing is impossible in this life. So that’s why, as God creatures, all we can do is trying and trying as best as we can. Yeah, guys, it is our sublime duty to make our dreams come true. Come on, God is waiting for our dreams now…. (^_^)

AS I JUST WANT TO STUDY

Billy was a diligent student. He liked coming to the class on time. Even, he always arrived in his school very early, and usually just sat down on his chair until his friends came to the class, the bell rang, and the teacher entered the class. All his friends always praised such attitude of his, including the teachers at the school, they were proud of having Billy as one of the students in the school.

However, Billy wasn’t smart enough as a student. This fact could be seen when Billy never did home-works given by the teachers to him. And it caused Billy always stood up in front of the class as a punishment for the students who didn’t do the home-works.

“I like it, thank you, Mam” said Billy while he was standing in front of the class. That time, his smile looked very happy. It was as if he didn’t feel any shames at all.

Looking at this, Billy’s teacher was wondering. She really wanted to know why Billy said such words, while other students, of course, would refuse to stand up in front of the class by giving so many reasons in order that the teacher would give them an excuse.

“Billy, why do you look so happy? Don’t you feel shy standing up here?” Asked Billy’s teacher finally.

“No, Mam,” Answered Billy, and smiled. And after listening to this answer, it was not only his teacher laughed, but all the students hearing this also laughed at Billy. And Billy, what an incredible Billy! He just stood up quietly.

“Okay, Billy. Now, tell me your reason why you didn’t do your home-work?” Asked the teacher again.

“No reason, Mam. I didn’t do it on purpose. Hehehe…”

Of course, this answer made the teacher very angry. She felt that Billy had underestimated her lessons. So, couldn’t stand it, she didn’t only ask Billy to stand up. She even asked Billy to go out of the class until the end of the school.

“No, Mam…” Refused Billy suddenly. He then came close his teacher, he hoped his teacher wouldn’t give him such hard punishment. Though, he knew that it was because his answer a few minutes ago. But, that’s the truth; he didn’t do the home-work on purpose,

“Do you know what my purpose is, Mam???” Cried Billy. He tried to explain.

“What???” the teacher shouted. It seemed that she couldn’t maintain her patience.

“Because….” Whispered Billy.

“What the????”

“Because, the purpose is I just want to study…”

“What did you mean???” The teacher still didn’t understand.

“I just want to study how to be a strong man who can stand up in a very long time, Mam. Yeah, Mam, I’ve just joint a group of PASKIBRA, and tomorrow I’m going to have my first test by standing up in a ceremony. So, I know it will take a very long time, so before I fail tomorrow, I think it’s the right moment to train my stamina. Hehehe….”

Hearing this reason, Billy’s teacher’s face became red, very red. And then she shouted, while Billy had left the class horribly.

“Billyyyyyy……!!!!”


What a funny Billy! (^_^)
