Fabel Cita Rasa Keberagaman

Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, Tan Hana Dharma Mangwra
Berbeda beragam tapi satu jua, Tak Ada Dharma ke arah yang lain

Itu adalah petikan baris kitab Pususadhasanta atau Sutasoma, yang di tulis oleh Mpu Tantular.

Di jaman sekarang masih saja ada orang yang alergi keberagaman dan perbedaan, mereka terlalu ngarep ama yang namanya keseragaman.

Jangankan golongan, suku, atau agama yang berbeda, dua orang dalam kepercayaan atau kelompok yang sama pun bisa memiliki pikiran beragam. Nah loh, kasian kan kalo memperpanjang ego kita dengan mencari-cari pengakuan dari orang lain tentang apa yang kita yakini dan jalani. Kita ingin segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan kita dianggap lebih.. ini.. lebih itu.. tetapi kita sendiri tidak mau menghargai orang lain.. bukan menghargai deh, minimal membiarkan.

Mau tak mau, keberagaman memang ada, sudah ada, dan akan selalu ada, jadi jika kita alergi dengan keberagaman mungkin kita terjangkit bhinnekaphobia dan perlu minta surat dokter.

Oh ya teman, silahkan baca kisah tentang keberagaman: Kisah Gado-Gado

Bless in Failure

According to TheFreeDictionary.com, The definition of failure is the condition or fact of not achieving the desired end or ends.


Whereas to fail means to prove deficient or lacking; perform ineffectively or inadequately; to be unsuccessful.

When we seek other people's approval, failure is something disgraceful or terrifying. Sometimes, in professional or educational life, our environment spread fear of failure. Actually, they want us to make improvement to do something better but fear of failure gives bad influence to our subconscious mind; we become afraid to do something innovative; we are afraid to try something new; we are afraid to be proactive; subconsciously, out fear creates block toward our creativity.

Fear is sabotage. We must overcome it. We must deal with fear. We must deal with failure. We should dare to fail. Open up your heart and mind to find bless in failure.

I have fable story,which I rewrite and fabelize from true story. It's the story about failure and the bless in it. Read Alex and the Mold

Menabung dan Menhindari Godaan Pemborosan

Menghemat uang dan manajemen keuangan sangat penting dalam kehidupan seseorang. Uang sangat penting untuk bertahan hidup di dunia ini, tetapi hanya sedikit orang yang tahu bagaimana mengelola anggaran rumah tangga mereka dengan baik. Banyak orang sulit untuk menabung bahkan jika itu untuk kebaikan mereka sendiri.

Anda mungkin termotivasi untuk menghemat uang tetapi ada saat-saat ketika godaan menghampiri Anda dan sebelum Anda menyadarinya, Anda telah menghabiskan jumlah yang seharusnya ditambahkan ke rekening tabungan Anda. Berikut adalah beberapa tips bermanfaat tentang bagaimana Anda dapat menghindari godaan dan menghemat uang:

1. Belilah jika perlu. Jika Anda suka membeli sepatu meskipun Anda tidak benar-benar butuh yang baru, berusahalah untuk menjauhi goodaan itu. Jauhkan diri Anda dari toko sepatu, sehingga Anda tidak akan tergoda untuk membeli sepatu.

2. Ketika pergi ke toko grosir, bawalah uang secukupnya dan daftar belanjaan. Jika Anda memiliki uang terbatas di kantong Anda ketika berada di toko, Anda akan memaksa diri Anda hanya membeli hal penting yang Anda butuhkan. Mempersiapkan daftar belanjaan juga akan membantu Anda menentukan hal-hal yang perlu diprioritaskan.

3. Pergi ke mal hanya bila diperlukan. Jangan pergi berbelanja jika tidak ada yang perlu untuk dibeli. Berjalan-jalan di mal hanya akan menggoda Anda untuk membeli gaun yang Anda lihat di toko bahkan jika Anda tidak benar-benar membutuhkannya.

4. Jangan membawa kartu kredit Anda setiap saat. Selalu membawa kartu kredit akan menggoda Anda untuk membeli hal-hal yang tidak perlu.

5. Anda harus memiliki tabungan. Jika gaji anda ditransfer melalui rekening bank, usahakan untuk memiliki dua rekening. Yang satu untuk arus pendapatan dan pengeluaran, yang satu lagi untuk tabungan jangka panjang Anda.

The Way of Patience at Work and Ninja Spirit

Patience is heart of flower, let it grow at work to win with others.


Sometimes we hears 'I hate my work', 'My working situation is getting worse", "Everyone blame me and scold me and make me a loser". Another says, "I was patient and have tried to be patient, but I cannot resist anymore with work situation" of "my patience is limited, and I won't be patient anymore."

The word patience and bad working situation remind me about something interesting me when my brother in Indonesia learned shodo (Japanese Caligraphy). It was the character of "Nin". This character is also related to the word "Ninja", "Ninpo" and "Ninjutsu". Ninja were really not assassins sure they had to do that occassionally but a true ninja was and is a person of endurance and perserverence."The first priority of the ninja was and is to win without fighting", according to Essence of Ninjutsu By: Masaakai Hatsumi.

The Japanese "Nin" character represents the ancient martial art of Ninjutsu and it's higher form of Ninpo, the Arts of the Ninja. The "Nin" symbol translates into Endurance, Perserverence, Patience In many people's image, Ninja (person who masters art of preserverence, and patience) is hero. So, are preserverence and patience heroic acts? You can decide by yourself by considering role of patience and preserverence in peace, harmony, and achiving success. We should change our mindset, stating that patience and perserverence are actions of weak person. Instead, patience and perserverence were possed by the persons who knows 'The Secret'.


The Japanese character for Nin consists of two parts or radicals. The upper radical is called yaiba which refers to the cutting edge of a blade. The lower radical can be read either as kokoro or shin, both of which mean heart. One, who consider patience weakness, translates "Nin"as "heart stabbed by blade", meaning to say "he saves anger". Ancient saying says, "Patience, or preserverence (Nin) is not heart stabbed by blade, but it is heart of flower, instead" So, to manifest patience, we should develop heart of flower. We should choose to develop happiness, joy, and gratitude, instead of fighting against hate, stress, anger.

At work, sometimes, we work under pressure. Many things, we should finish. Some people ( customer or colleague or our boss) scold us. The bad situation at work that we feel make us difficult to take breath. Sometimes, it also happen in our relationship and social life. Then, we try to be patient, but we translate patience as "heart stabbed by blade" or we just let bad situation happen and save the anger and sadness in our mind. The situation can be worse, we can get into more stress because we attract worse situation, worse work climate, worse relationship. We try to fight againts jealousy, anger, sadness in our heart, but they grow bigger and bigger because we think about them. It is law of attraction, according to "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne.

So what should we do, when in bad work situation? Remember 'Nin', 'the heart of flower', being patience means that you choose to feel joy and gratitude. Remember a happy moment, the beloved one who inspiring you, a momment when you are in love, a momment when achieving something. Visualize and imagine that you have achieved best situation (perhaps work performance achievement, happy momment, good relationship) and be grateful! Feel the joy, happiness, and grattitude and smile. Feel and the flower in your heart grow. That is patience. Spread it to all people.

The change within can attract better situation at work, in relationship, and in social life. You will be hero who posses way of patience and preserverence.

FOR THE BETTER CHANGE: BE AN EMPTY CUP!

Perhaps, you have ever heard about the story of professor and Zen Master. OK, in this article, I invite you to recall the story and I will tell you the story with modern tone.

A professor was curious to Zen Master's knowledge. He had heard about the Master from people concerning the teachings of the Master. The professor had learned many thing during his life. He was experienced and skillful in his profession. One day, his friend suggested him to learn something from the Master for the change of his life.

The Professor visited the Master's house. That evening, in the Master's living room, accompanied with the song “Open Up”, two cups of coffe and a teapot on the table, the Professor and Master sat face to face. May be, some of you still remember the commercial break soundtrack of Nescafe,“Open Up” by Shunza. You may remember the lyrics.

The Professor told the Master the intention of his visit. The Professor also said that his friend suggested him to visit the Master for better change. Then, the Master put the teapot and poured the water into Professor's cup, which still contained full of cofee drink.

“Master, my cup is still full. The cofee will spill out if you keep pouring water intu it.”
“So, you should empty your cup then I can pour the water into it.”
The Master smiled.
“Mr. Professor, your mind is full of judgement. You cannot learn anything from me if you cannot empty your judgement. If you want to learn, open up your mind and don't judge. Then, you will be receptive to the lesson”

Open your heart, open your mind, and open your eyes. They are keys for self-development. By opening our mind, we will have more ability to understand what we learn. Openess is receptive attitude for the change and lesson. In contrary, bad supposition will make a ban to the change. Consequently, you will not listen and understand and moreover the supposition will blind us.

It is undeniable that learning is long life process. At work, we need to open up to the change. Commitment is essential at work. But unfortunately, some of employees close their heart not to commit. They close their heart not to learn and try the new things (such as the new tasks). That attitude will make them left behind. So, what attitude should we have when getting new tasks at work? The answer is “Open Up”. Be an empty cup and learn!

Why did Nescafe choose song “Open Up” as the soundtrack of its commercial break? Because the cofee is the friend for you in chit-chat, a moment when we open ourself to our friends. Openness is also useful in teamwork. We open our heart and mind to listen the suggestion by our boss, subordinate, as well as management discretion for the better change. With this attitude, we will be more dynamic. A leader is supposed to open his heart and mind to motivate his subordinates to express their idea.

During training or learning new thing, never think that you are smartest. Openess is the appropriate attitude. In learning, we should have a willing to open our heart to receive the lesson from the others. Consequently, our mind become more receptive to the training.

By becoming an empty cup, we will be open-minded. Open Up! Because the idea can come from any where, from small things, and from anyone. It may came from the people whom you have not known or those whom you think unimportant. .[]

MENJADI CANGKIR YANG KOSONG DEMI PERUBAHAN YANG LEBIH BAIK

Mungkin anda pernah membaca kisah ini tetapi di sini saya ceritakan kembali dengan sedikit sentuhan yang agak modern. Mungkin beberapa dari anda masih ingat soundtrack iklan Nescafe yang berjudul “Open Up” yang dinyanyikan oleh Shunza.

Pada suatu hari seorang professor bertamu untuk menemui Sang Guru. Sang Profesor begitu penasaran terhadap Sang Guru. Ia telah banyak mendengar dari orang-orang tentang kiat-kiat yang diberikan oleh Sang Guru. Sang Profesor memang telah belajar banyak hal selama hidupnya. Ia juga seorang yang ahli dalam profesinya. Tetapi atas saran sahabatnya ia menemui Sang Guru untuk belajar suatu hal yang merubah hidupnya.

Sore itu di ruang tamu, sambil diiringi lagu “Open Up” dan dua cangkir kopi serta satu teko di atas meja, Sang professor dan Sang Guru duduk berhadapan. Sang Profesor menyatakan maksud kedatangannya atas saran temannya. Sang Guru mengambil teko lalu menuangkan kopi pada cangkir kopi profesor yang masih penuh.

“Guru, kopinya kan masih penuh nanti airnya tumpah”
Sang Professor mengingatkan Sang Guru karena kopi di cangkirnya meluap tumpah ketika Sang Guru menuangkan air dari teko.
“Kalau begitu begitu kosongkan dulu gelasmu.” Sang Guru tersenyum.
“Professor, anda tidak dapat belajar apapun dari saya kalau anda tidak dapat mengosongkan cangkir dalam pikiran anda. Kalau anda mau belajar anda harus bebas dari prasangka dan membuka diri anda..”

Membuka diri, membuka pikiran dan membuka mata seperti yang dilantunkan oleh Shunza dalam soundtrack iklan Nescafe merupakan kunci untuk mengembangkan diri kita. Dengan membuka diri kita dapat lebih mampu mengerti apa yang kita pelajari. Membuka diri merupakan sikap reseptif terhadap perubahan dan pelajaran. Sebaliknya, prasangka buruk dan tidak mau mendengarkan serta mamahami hanya akan membutakan diri kita.

Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa belajar adalah proses seumur hidup. Dalam bekerja kita pun perlu membuka diri terhadap perubahan-perubahan. Dalam bekerja perlu yang namanya komitmen. Sayangnya tidak jarang kita menutup diri kita untuk tidak berkomitmen. Tertutup untuk belajar dan mencoba hal-hal baru , seperti tugas-tugas baru hanya akan membuat kita tertinggal. Lalu bagaimana kita harus bersikap bila kita mendapat tugas baru dalam pekerjaan kita? Jawabannya adalah bukalah hati, jadilah cangkir yang kosong dan mau belajar.

Mengapa iklan kopi Nescafe memilih soundtrack Open Up? Karena kopi merupakan teman saat ngobrol, minuman di saat kita saling membuka diri dengan rekan kita. Membuka diri juga bermanfaat ketika kita berada dalam teamwork. Kita membuka diri dan mau mendengarkan usulan rekan kerja, bawahan, bahkan kebijakan manjemen demi perubahan yang lebih baik. Dengan sikap ini kita akan lebih dinamis. Seorang pemimpin yang mau membuka hatinya memotivasi bawahannya untuk mengemukakan ide baru. Dalam hubungan dengan rekan kerja, kita berkembang karena kita terbuka terhadap kritik yang membangun. Sebagai bawahan pun kita akan lebih dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan kebijakan manajemen.

Ketika kita sedang dalam training atau belajar hal baru, merasa diri paling pintar tidaklah membantu, keterbukaan pikiran merupakan sikap yang tepat. Dalam belajar kita harus bersedia membuka hati kita untuk belajar dari orang lain. Pikiran kita pun menjadi lebih reseptif terhadap training yang diberikan.

Dengan menjadi cangkir yang kosong pikiran kita lebih terbuka dan wawasan pun menjadi lebih luas. Terbukalah! Karena ide bisa datang dari mana pun, dari kejadian-kejadian kecil dan dari siapa saja, bahkan bisa saja dari orang yang tidak kita kenal atau dari mereka yang tidak kita anggap penting Keterbukaan inilah yang dapat merangsang kreatifitas kita.[]
