Happy New Year

In blink of eye then one day, one week, one month, one year is almost past by. Now almost time to celebrate new year and it make me thinks what different one year before and now? what is better? what is worsen? what is achieved? what is fail? what is hope for this year? what is goal for this year? what is plan for this year? what is your dream in this year?

Wait the second, Now is not 1st January, Oops you right is not 1st January but it is not to late to feel that as long as it’s still January February, :P. Actually it kinda late for new year, but not for Chinese New Year. And another reason is that i think of this matter is because my English teacher on my company told to me that “Fail to Plan is Plan to Fail“. It’s so wise and it slowly grow in my mind and then *boom*, and born this writing.

Okay then i will tell my plan for this year, writing a post a week because now work is very demanding, so i can’t free to post in office and also my mind is tired just for work when get’s home. I’m say Sorry for reader of this blog because i don’t post more than 1 month almost 2 month.

Now that’s the plan, and “Happy New Year and Gong Xi Fat Chay” for all of the reader, hope you with prosperus and happy year to come.

Learn To Be Upset

We’re feeling happy when we have what we want and it can be anything, Like when we graduate from school or when we get a job or when we can win a race or when we become a champion or when we beat our competitor, or when we destroy our enemy. But maybe sometimes to be happy doesn’t need to make other people sad or upset, it can be when we can eat everyday or when we can see person that we love or when we can doing our hobby or when we can rest or when met old friend. To be happy is easy thing to do because to be happy just need to fulfill our need. So we don’t need to learn to be happy.

We’re feeling upset when we don’t get what we want, other people mess with us, the climate is not right, and many thing that can cause it. And when upset usually we doing something that we will regret later or something that destructible, or something that unreasonable or even something that against the law. But sometimes the effect is hidden in our feeling like we feel depressed, easy to angry or feel very energized and many other effect.

Actually there are 3 main reason why we become upset, there are :
a. everything is not everlasting (sabbe sankhârâ aniccâ)
This reason is actually simple and happened because we want to keep our stuff always good or keep good friend is around us, or in more specific is we want to keep our condition is still the same. But when it’s changed or broken then it will make us upset.

b. everything is grasp by sadness (sabbe sankhârâ dukkhâ)
This reason is actually simple and happened when we born then sadness will haunted us because there are no everlasting happiness or in bright side there are no everlasting sadness. And Happy and Sad is change every time, but if we don’t aware it then we will become upset.

c. everything is without self (sabbe dhammâ anattâ)
This reason is actually simple and happened when we want to claim something or even someone as ours, it like when we see good stuff and want that stuff become ours. But we didn’t get it then we will become upset.

Now we known what make us upset, and then we need to know way to remove or lessened upset. The way is actually simple, just be patient and acceptance. Patient it mean when we don’t get what we want then just wait someday we will get it, or when we had sadness then just wait because it will change. And acceptance is mean when we don’t get it until our tolerance time then accept it that thing or people is not for us, and let it go.

Extraordinary People Wisdom

Heroes one of film about extraordinary people. In this film there are many extraordinary people with one specific ability and some with many abilities. There are people that can fly, people can travel time, people can run fast, people can telekinetic, people can read mind, people with great athletic skill, people can look future, people with regeneration ability, people can vanish, people can erase mind. And even with people can mimic skill from media, people can absorb ability, people with great analytic skill, and people can heal people.

All of this is skill is the skill that people wish they had in reality in their dream. Imagine when we can fly then we can travel around world without worry. Then if we imagine that we can travel time then we can be rich if we put our money in good place. Next imagine if we can telekinetic then we can move thing free. Or imagine if we can vanish then we can go around forbidden place without seen. There are so many dream that to be good to be true and if it goes to wrong people than it will become disaster to world.

But actually in reality there are people that can heal people. If you think it’s doctor you wrong because that not people that i talk about even doctor can heal people sick. What i mean is people with extraordinary skill that can heal people like blind, deaf, and etc. I had seen this people do this miracle in GOR Ngurah Rai, even i myself still have doubt to this miracle but this skill is actually can be learned by meditated. So, i think it’s real, but what i don’t like with these people is they always bearing their religion. So they just want cure people with same religion and it’s not right i think.

So, like Uncle Ben in Spiderman says “with great power there must also come great responsibility” if you have been gifted with great ability and become Extraordinary People than you must remembered that gift for help all people not just some of them. Even not everyone is Extraordinary People but we can be Extraordinary People by doing good thing and help people around us every day. Or you can be Extraordinary People by become people in high authority like President, Governor, Etc. But you must remember what Uncle Ben says “with great power there must also come great responsibility“.

Glow In The Dark Wisdom

When I’m in high school there are new trend, this trend is about everything that can glow in the dark like T-Shirt, Watch, Sticker, accessories and many other. And then time goes on and i forgot about thing that can glow in the dark. But 2 days ago i found my Glow in the dark T-Shirt and then i wore it to sleep. When i woke up early in the morning and i saw my T-Shirt is glowing then the wisdom is come to my mind.

The Wisdom is we don’t know how precious ourselves if we always compare ourselves with the other. It is like Glow in the dark thing when in the bright light then it will not show any light because it’s too busy to compare it’s own light with the other. And when there are no light then it will illuminate it’s own light because nobody to be compare and naturally it’s have potency to illuminate light. So, don’t compare yourself with the other because everyone is unique and have it’s own abilities and life.

Desire Wisdom

With Desire emerge Sad, with Desire emerge Fear, Person without Desire than will not feel Fear and Sad” It’s one of Buddhist enlightenment and hard to implement in real life.

But there are an easy way to control our desire. First we must know what desire is happen when we want something, it is like when we want to eat more than we can take that it’s a greed desire. Or when we want to punch people that it’s a hate desire. After we know what desire happen then next step is think benefit of our act. If it is give you a benefit like when we buy food for extend our life or when we buy dress for cover us from heat, then just do it but not overdo it. But if it is not give you any benefit than leave it in your mind like when we buy dress for style, or even for a show then don’t do it.

Last step is knowing our ego because we tend to think our act is right or in this case give benefit if we want it. So, after you think it’s give you benefit than you must filter it with your ego. Do the act really give benefit or your ego tell that the act is give a benefit? how can we seperate it, of course no easy way to know it but deep in your feeling you know it. It is like when we want to eat in expensive place and we think it is for extend our life, but deep in your heart you know that is your ego talking then you must don’t do the act.

But what will life become if we follow it? of course it will be sad for us because nobody is perfect. This is just for your information and you can try to doing that sometimes and control your desire but if you want to follow your desire at least you aware what desire is come and give a peace in your heart.

Microbe Proverb

When i wake up this morning, then this proverb is pop up in my mind. The proverb say microbe in next side of river can be seen but elephant in front of our eyes is invisible. This proverb mean we can see other mistake but not our mistake.

Why? because we have defend mechanism that thing our act is right and other act is false. so how we must act? actually is simple we must think out act from different perspective first and if still right than just do the act, and if is false than we must correct it. But what we do if the false act is just happen? we must apologize to the people which is become the object, and try to not make same mistake twice.

What must we do if we know other mistake? actually is simple first we must looked inside us do we make a same mistake. if yes then we correct ourselves first. And if we not then we must think for their good sake. And if this is for their good sake then we must think it is handy for them. And if this is handy for them than just say to them with polite word.

This two simple way to make our life better so remember first when we want to comment other lets look inside first and second before you act look from different perspective first. that all hope you enjoy your day.

Choice Wisdom

If you given a choice become a rich person which is unhappy or become a poor person which is happy? which one that you choose. Or if you given a choice to live with your dream job with low salary or live without your dream job with high salary? which one that you choose. Sometimes life just given a hard choice like i mentioned before, but what really matter is what decision that we take. Because if we looked through the choice then we will see a bad option in every choice. So if you choose to become a winner than you will not take a choice from a bad option, instead we choose a good option from bad choice. Then you will ask what choice i take if given that question. For question one i will choose to become a rich person which is happy, and for the question two i will choose to live with your dream job with high salary. Then you say the choice is not available there, okay i admit the choice is not there but like i said before we must choose good option from bad choice. And you know that the good choice from question i mentioned before that i choose.

It’s really easy just to say it but implementation is very hard. Okay you right but we can try make a good option from bad choice just for a simple problem in our life and eventually it’s become habit and we will do it before we think. So the choice wisdom is choose “good option from bad choice that life give us“.
