Five Lessons of Life
Barusan baca blog orang mengenai 5 pelajaran dalam hidup (websitenya banyak adsnya kayak splog aja, tapi kali ini contentnya ok punya), banyak hal-hal sederhana yang kadang kita lupa karena besarnya ego kita.
These five short story highlights five important lessons of life
First Lesson – Everyone Deserver Attention
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz.
I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:
“What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
“Absolutely,” said the professor. “In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say “hello.”
I’ve never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
Second Lesson – Help Others In Need
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man
took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab.She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man’s door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered
to his home. A special note was attached..
It read:
“Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it
to my dying husband’s bedside just before he passed away… God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.”
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
Third Lesson – Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. “How much is an ice cream sundae?” he asked.
“Fifty cents,” replied the waitress.The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.
“Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?” he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.
“Thirty-five cents,” she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins.
“I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..
You see, he couldn’t have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
Fourth Lesson – Try To Solve Your Problem’s Yourself
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much
pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
Fifth – Giving When it Counts
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes I’ll do it if it will save her.” As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away”.
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.

Resolusi 3 bulan – Jogging Once A Week
Gara-gara udah terlalu sering makan enak, perut jadi melar. So lagi bikin resolusi jogging once a week, so far udah berhasil melalui 4 minggu (bolong 1 sih). Tapi ternyata enak juga bangun pagi, udara masih seger, banyak juga orang-orang yang jogging, dan rata-rata udah pada berumur … jadi ga bisa cuci mata. Semoga kegiatan sehat ini bisa lebih dari sekedar resolusi 3 bulan, karena selama ini nggak pernah olah raga, makan sembarangan, berminyak, kolesterol, bisa-bisa mati muda.
Anyway, akhir-akhir ini juga lagi tergila-gila ama lagu keane – somewhere only we know, lagunya mengharu biru sekali, liriknya begitu menyedihkan …. check it out : http://youtube.com/watch?v=3rpzjZrk_8g
Gak bisa diattach di sini, entah kenapa jadi bikin themes nya kacau
New Method, New Result
Lagi coba-coba metode baru untuk mengenerate traffic di beberapa websiteku, ternyata hasilnya WOW… sangat signifikan, tapi sayangnya kalo metodenya ga lagi dilakukan, penghasilan ikut drop. Jadi termotivasi untuk nyari cara-cara lain sebagai tambahan metode supaya bisa $50/day …. 
Sepertinya high paying keyword juga sangat menentukan revenue kalo pake metode ini, apa perlu bikin website baru ya? especially about cars, techs and gadgets, tapi sepertinya no time lah, kayaknya juga harus pelan-pelan dulu, daripada serakah trus malah ga keurus semua, jadinya hasil ga maxi. So for now, cukup dulu deh…
Hosting Down !
Hosting down beberapa hari membawa big negatif impact to all my websites, well anggap pengalaman berharga aja deh meski harus kehilangan income selama beberapa hari, at least sisi positifnya belajar hal-hal baru untuk backup wordpress database, create new project yang tidak menggantungkan hosting, well ada harga ada keamanan. Akhirnya pindah ke hostgator.com, 9.95$/month, 100G space, 1000G bandwidth, not bad huh ? Tapi harus build lagi traffic buat website, mengisi ulang content yang hilang, termasuk website ini, cuma down beberapa hari aja traffic rank udah jatuh 500,000 an, gosh … coba kalo per hari udah tiga digit, apa ga riskan down 1 hari aja.
Definitely learn my lesson the hard way !
Welcome to A Piece of My Life
A full time internet marketer (hoping someday I can be a part time internet marketer and a full time traveler). I don’t like vegetables, a true meat eater. I'm an Agnostic, believe in God, but haven’t made decision which religion to follow (if I had to choose, my first choice would be Buddhist), I believe in karma, cause and effect, all living creatures are responsible for their karma, their actions and the effects of their actions.
