Pygmalion Effect

Pygmalion was a gifted young man sculpture. He was good at sculpting. Hand carved works really good. But it was not skill that makes him known and loved friends and neighbors.

Pygmalion is known as a man who liked to think positively. He looked at everything from a good angle. When the field was muddy town, people grumble. But Pygmalion said: "Fortunately, no other field is sebecek." When a buyer insists on offering statues nawar price, Pygmalion friends whispered, "Stingy right person." But pgymalion said, "Maybe people need to spend money to Another matter that is more necessary. "When the kids stealing apples in his garden, Pygmalion is not cursed. He even felt pity, "Poor, the children were not getting enough education and enough food in the house."

That outlook Pygmalion. He did not see a situation from bad terms, but rather in terms of both. He never thought badly of others. Instead, he tried to imagine the good things behind the bad deeds of others. On a day Pygmalion carves a wooden statue of a woman who is very smooth. The statue was the same size just like a real person. When it was finished, the sculpture looked like a human right. The statue's face smiled sweetly charming, beautiful body attractive. Pygmalion friends say, "Ah, that good-good image, it's just a statue, not a wife."

But the statue Pygmalion treated as a real human being. Again and again staring at the statue and dielusnya. The gods of Mount Olympus in the notice and appreciate these Pygmalion. Then they decided to give the gift to change the statue of Pygmalion into a real human being. Pygmalion lived happily with his wife. It is said that his wife is a beautiful woman in the entire country of Greece.

Pygmalion story is better known as the Pygmalion Effect. The point is what we truly believe will become a reality. As Plato said, "You adalalah what you think." If we always think we are stupid, then this will really happen ourselves to be stupid. It is also important for a manager or leader who often doubted his ability to finish a job. Automatic doubt it will become a reality.

From now on we must begin to build confidence in us and throw all our limiting beliefs so far. Like doubtful, insecure, lazy, pessimistic, passive, lacking in confidence, despair, low self-etc.

Congratulations to prove Pygmalion effect in your life!

THINKIG POSITIVE ALWAYS WHAT EVER happen TO YOU!!

NEVER GIVE UP!!

Clouds

In a place far away from the city, was a young man rushed into a small mosque. His face showed anxiety and uncertainty. He is like looking for something in the mosque.

"Assalam Alaikum, Teacher!" he said to an old man who looks busy sweeping the room mosque. Spontaneous, the old man to stop busy. He turned to the boy and his smile was expanding. "Wa'alaikumussalam. My son. Come in!" he said, putting a broom in the corner. After that, he and his guests sat cross-legged.

"What, my son?" he said with a smile that was too furl. "Teacher. I accepted employment in the city!" said the boy later. "Thank God," said the grandfather happy. "Teacher, if you do not mind, give me advice to succeed!" said the young man, looking down. Saying he was waiting for his grandfather before him.

"My son. Be like water. And do not follow the trail of clouds," a string of short sentences glide quietly from the mouth of the grandfather. The boy had not reacted. He thought hard as word meaning teacher. But, to no avail. "I mean, Professor?" he said later.

"My son. Water teaches us to always humble. Despite coming from a high place, he always wanted to go down. The bigger, more numerous; water so excited to move down. He was always looking for gaps to be coursing beneath the world," certainly the grandfather quietly. "Then with the clouds, Teacher?" asked the boy wonder.

"Do not even like clouds, my son. Look! Clouds come from low places, but wanted to quickly be in high places. The lighter, the more he is not weighted; cloud rose more anxious," explained the grandfather was so wise. "But my son," he added later. "The height of the cloud was just a game material wind." And the young man seemed to nod slowly.

One thousand one hope is often addressed for the good activists. They are hoping is the weak who need protection, the poor who want help, and lay people who desire guidance.

Arrangement hope it leads to one point: that good quality good activists not just stop at the person of the perpetrator. But, can flow to the bottom: wet basin hope that increasingly dry, and turn green seeds that begin to turn yellow.

Unfortunately, not all the good quality of activists such as the water is always flowing and the constant flow of fresh life below. Because there are some people who just the opposite, like a cloud of the earth farther away. As if anyone wants they express: good-bye to the underworld; sorry, we were busy chatting with the wind.

Frog

At a place on the edge of the forest, a place of students preparing for evening prayer. He broom dust and dry leaves are scattered around the room praying. A moment later, prayer mats were spread out toward mecca. The rain which began to subside add silence of the night.

"Bismillah," the voice of the students started the prayer. But, "Kung ... kung ... kung!" Shouted a loud voice like the students to rip absorption. He also turned to the window. "Ah, frog voice again!" he said to myself.

It was several times he wanted to start praying the night, always a frog's voice shouted to shackle. Of course, it was very disturbing. Cook, who should be praying tonight so humble, always caught a frog's face. Round eyes, neck and head together and pointed in the mouth, and bubbles in the neck that produces such a high note: kung!

"Astaghfirullah! How can humble," said the students, opening the window of her room. He poked his head out the window as he stared at the puddle right next to the window. But, a few frogs still shouting. They do not seem to care about the satirical 'smooth' the students.

Until finally, "Shut up!" The students shouted loudly. Louder than the cries of frogs. Yeah, right. Shouts students no longer make a frog noise. They were silent. Perhaps, the frogs realized that they were not liked. Even possible, is threatened. "Well, so much better," chanted the students, closing the window.

He went back to focus only on fixed her prayers. I confronted my face only to God, the Creator of heaven and earth. But, "Kung ... kung ... kung!" The frogs shouted shouted back. Spontaneous, the students returned to stop prayers.

This time, he did not immediately moved toward the window. He just stared at the closed window. The students like staring at something. Old ..., he did not do anything but thoughtfully in silence.

"Astaghfirullah," the voice of the students later. "Why did I take the frogs scream as interference. It may be, they're singing accompany this cool night. Or even, the frogs were praising God even as I also praise Him in prayer tonight.

Astaghfirullah, "said the students with a deep breath. And, he started with such solemn prayer. Reverent ... once. So even with the frogs:" Kung ... kung ... kung! "

Sometimes, because of selfish self, perspective does not fit falls in place. Let the others sound different. Because may be, that's their prayer beads. (mnuh/eramuslim)

Gateway to Joy and Peace of Mind

For the past few months many of you may be wondering why you have not been receiving our monthly newsletter. We can always put the blame on our server or our web-hosted etc ... but the truth was we have not written any newsletter for the past few months. We have nothing to share, we were experiencing a "writer's block". Anyway the good news is the "writer's block" is now melting down - so we are on once again. Interestingly it is this very newsletter, which melts down the 'block'.

It occurs to me that most people would put blame on the 'outside' factor when things do not go right or go their way. And when things go right, we tend to claim it as our own doings.

A common example is when one's life is running smoothly and successful we feel proud and tend to claim full responsibility for it but when one's life is full of problems and our business is in a bad shape, we often cry out "Why me?"

We will blame our friends, neighbors, our customers, our Staffs, our boss, our government and even God. The funny thing is how may of us thank our friends, neighbors etc ... when things are going well like a breeze. Here, we can note that most humans prefer only the good side and tend to push away the "bad" side. We just do not like to 'own' the 'bad side'. In fact, ironic as it may seem, it is this non-acceptance of the 'bad' side which is the cause for a lot of our miseries, sufferings and mental anxieties.

If we were to push away something or someone because we do not like it or hate it, we inevitably experience bad feelings and bad mental states, hence suffering! If we can be ONE with that "thing", and not pushing it away or hating it, we will experience a sense of peace and well being.

Through the ages wise we often hear statements like "accept it", "surrender to it", "become one with it", "be one with the universe", all of it means almost the same thing-accept what ever life brings, take it as solely your own responsibility and not blaming others, only then will you be able to transcend the sufferings of life. It's important to note that leaving this responsibility to any outside factor or 'being' would still create a 'separation' or 'alienation' and would not help either. At best it may only give you a temporary relief.

Remember we learn to walk alongside all the fallings. We succeed alongside all the failings. A wise man was once asked, "Master, why do we have to die?" And he answered, "Because we were born".

May you accept all your bad experiences

Your fellow traveler in time.

Nature Crab

Perhaps many know the form of crab, but not many know the nature of the crab. I hope you do not have a malevolent nature of the crab.

In the Philippines, rural communities loved to catch and eat crabs fields. Crabs were small in size but it was quite delicious. The crabs were caught easily at night, then put into a bowl / container, without bound.

Image via Wikipedia

The next day, the crabs will be boiled and then eaten for side dishes for a few days. The most interesting of these habits, the crabs that will always try to get out of the basin, their strength, by using claws, powerful claws. But a reliable crabber always calm although his catch was always trying to escape.

The recipe is only one, namely the hunter knew perfectly well the nature of the crab.

If there is a crab that almost escaped out of the basin, his friends would be pulled back to basics again. If there is more to rise rapidly to the mouth of the basin, again his friend would pull down ... and so on until finally nothing worked out. The next day the hunters lived boiled them all, and die of envy herd of crabs that.

Similarly, in this life ...

we unconsciously sometimes be like the crabs that. That should be fun if a friend or relative we experience our success even suspect, lest it achieved success in ways that are not bener. Especially in the business or other things that contain elements of competition, the nature of envy, spite, or more real hypocrites and if not soon we realize we have unwittingly kill ourselves.

Success will come if we can realize that in business or competition is not important who wins, but more importantly than that how far we can develop ourselves fully. If we grow, we may win or may lose in a competition, but that we must win in this life.

Sign someone is a 'crab':

1. Always remember the error outside party (could be other people or circumstances) the past and make it a principle / guidelines in the act

2. Many criticize but no change

3. Hobbies other people's shortcomings but do not know the weaknesses of his own so he is occupied only attract the crabs that come out of the basin and to forget himself escape attempt.

... Should the crabs that help one another out of the basin, but yach ... much needed soul to do it ...

Without really realizing many of the crabs that are around us we do not realize had become "Dream Stealer" (thief dreams) you slowly. Think about how much time you used to think of ways to be a winner. In social life, business, school, or religion. And change the time to think of ways to develop yourself into a healthy person and successful.

"Dream High" and Never ever give up. (Yoliandri)
