Galau di social media. Haruskah?

Setiap orang pasti pernah ngerasa yang namanya galau,baik karna cinta,masalah pertemanan bahkan nilai pelajaran sekolah,tapi biasanya yang mendominasi itu perasaan galau karna cinta2an,setuju?!

Nah kita langsung aja ke poin utama.

Wajar gak sih kalo kita galau??? jelas aja sebagai manusia normal yang punya hati dan perasaan sangat wajar kalo kita galau :). Ga jadi masalah apapun penyebab kita galau,mau itu gara2 pacar,temen,sekolah dll nah yang menjadi masalah adalah ketika lo galau tidak pada tempatnya.

Fyi,Galau itu menular loh,fakta sdh membuktikan hal ini,coba deh lo bayangin kalo lo lagi seneng2nya tiba2 dateng temen lo dgn muka kecut trus ngomong hal2 ttg semangat yang patah karna galau, ex: "kenapa sih gue kaya gini,kenapa sih dia beginiin gue, gue ga napsu makan, atau yg paling parah Gue pengen mati aja,bosen idup dll. Gimana mood lo setelah liat orang kaya gitu??? tanpa dijawabpun udh jelas kalo mood lo sendiri bakal ancur atau bahkan lo ikut2an galau.

Nah sebegitu besarnya efek galau yang menular itu dan yang fakta yang menyedihkan saat ini adalah bahwa banyak remaja2 labil yang mengGALAU di SOCIAL MEDIA!!! Social media itu sendiri adalah tempat kita bersosialisasi di dunia maya dan social media itu diakses oleh lebih dari berMILYAR manusia di bumi ini,dan kebayang gak seberapa buruknya tingkah laku kita kalo kita Mentransfer kegalauan kita dengan menulis kata2 patah semangat alias galau di status facebook atau twitter kita?! yang lebih parahnya lagi bukan cuma temen sekolah lo yang ngeliat kegalauan lo,tapi seluruh dunia bisa mengakses profile page lo dan lebih dari 5milyar manusia bisa rusak moodnya karna keGalauan lo pribadi.

Ga munafik gue akui kalo dulu gue suka banget galau di social media,dalam otak gue saat itu biar org yg lagi gue galauin bisa ngebaca atau stidaknya rasa galau dalam hati ini bs berkurang dengan gue curahin di twitter,atau setidaknya org bisa simpati ke gue,tapi ternyata itu semua salah! mungkin buat lo semua galau di social media pasti berpikiran sama. tapi sebenarnya saudara2,  bukannya mengurangi tapi status2 itu malah jd menginfluence orang2 atau mungkin memaksa orang2 biar ngerasain apa yg lo rasain!

Marilah sadarkan diri kita,social media itu konteksnya kita bersosialisasi,berteman dan bersahabat dengan orang2 banyak,memang kita bebas memposting apapun tentang diri kita di social media,tapi tidak perlu seluruh dunia tau ttg isi hatimu :). Dalam segala aspek kehidupan memiliki etika,termasuk dalam social media juga memiliki etika,mari gunakanlah social media dengan tepat dan beretika sebagai manusia,karna etika lah yg membuat kita berbeda dengan binatang. :)

Abang kumis dan rental sial

      Hari ini gue ngalamin peristiwa yang bener2 ngeselin,gimana gak ngeselin,duit bulanan yang tinggal 10rebon menguap seakan gak berarti gara2 abang2 kumisan sialan itu. eit,siapa nih abang kumis? oke2 biar berurutan gue jelasin kronologinya.

        Ceritanya kemaren malem gue keinget kalo mesti ngeprint tugas karya ilmiah bahasa indonesia buat dipresentasiin besoknya,nah tapi dikarenakan gue kecapekan abis makan2 dirumahnya nabila ditambah lg printer gue yg keabisan tinta,jd diurungkanlah niat yg mulia itu dan gue memilih tidur pules sampe pagi,tapi gue udh bikin plan kalo ngeprintnya besok pagi aja pas pelajaran pertama.

       Nah tadi paginya disekolah,gue minta ijin keluar pas pelajaran sosiologinya mami dan ijin keluarnya bareng si ferdi yg emang doyan banget keluar masuk sekolah buat ijin. Singkat cerita gue pergi dibonceng ferdi ke salah satu rental komputer dideket smp 7,nah pertama kali ngelangkahin kaki di rental itu,perasaan gue mulai ga enak,bulu kuduk merinding ditambah lagi suasana rental komputer yg agak remang2. selangkah demi selangkah gue masuk ke dalam,yg bikin suasana tambah dramatis ada sesosok jasad item lagi duduk dikursi plastik dgn baju kaos partai yg dibagiin gratis pas kampanye taun lalu. Jasad item ini pandangannya kosong,dan yang bikin gak tahan itu ketika ngeliat mukanya dari idung kebawah,nampak semacam bulu2 kasar yg semrawutan,gue sempet ngira itu bulu idungnya yang keluar,tapi ternyata itu kumis! Dan sesosok jasad item berkumis itu adalah penjaga rental itu.

    "ada apa dek?", abg kumis itu nanyain. "mau ngeprint bang,berapaan selembar?",gue jawab. "oh bisa2,500 dek selembar",dia jawab lagi. Gue lalu menuju kompinya abg kumis dan nyerahin card reader gue yg isinya tugas yg mau diprint,tp pas dicolokin yg keluar di monitor adalah "Usb Device Not Recognize" dan card reader itu ga kebaca,padahal sebelumnya card reader itu baik2 aja. Akhirnya si bang kumis ngeluarin card readernya dia dan untungnya sd card gue msh kebaca,tapi ada lagi hal ganjil lainnya,file yg harusnya udh diedit dan siap di print malah jd file yg ga keedit pas dibuka di kompi itu,hati gue udh mulai panas,tapi ya sudahlah akhirnya gue edit ulang file itu dan yg bikin kesel si abang kumis ini banyak nanya seolah2 mau ngejebak gue biar ngerental jg bkn cm ngeprint jd biayanya nambah,tapi gue ga kejebak,gue edit secepatnya dan pas selesai,filenya ga bisa disave dan abg kumis itu malah nyalahin sd card gue! dan pas si kumis ngidupin printernya tiba2 lsg ngeprint otomatis dan muka si kumis lsg berubah jd nambah ga enak. "lah kok gini? kok gini? udh kamu print ya tadi?",kata si kumis pura2 bingung dan terang aja gue jawab buat apa gue print duluan sebelum diedit dan kembali si kumis ttp nyolot kalo gue udh ngeprint duluan sblm diedit. Hati gue mulai panas lg,apalagi pas dy blg "ah udhlah yg jelas ini udh terprint" rasanya editan gue sia2 karna yg terprint itu mentahannya,gue jg bingung apalagi cover depannya msh blm diubah jd nama gue,msh nama penulis aslinya gara2 itu karya ilmiahnya gue copas dari internet. Gue pikir2 lagi ya udhlah daripada gue ngeprint ulang lagi dan biaya nambah lagi,mengingat isi dompet tgl 10rebon jadinya gue putusin cm ngeprint ulang covernya aja dan ketika ngebayar si kumis blg 7000 dek karna covernya berwarna,yah gue kasih aja sih karna emg covernya banyak warna dan pikiran gue biar secepatnya keluar dari rental sialan itu. pas di jalan gue itung ulang lg lembarannya dan ternyata cm ada 5 lembar include cover yg 2x diprint td jd kalo 500/lembar x 5 lembar harusnya gue cm bayar 2500 nah kenapa jd 7000? damn! makin sadarlah kalo gue ditipu abis2an sama mahluk berkumis itu! ditambah lg duit gue yg tgl 3rb abis buat ngejilid! abang kumis sialan!

fyi: tugas gue ditolak mentah2 gara2 penulisan yg salah ( ya iyalah sama sekali belum diedit) dan yang gue dapet adalah = ketiadaan,setelah ngorbanin waktu,duit,perasaan dan emosi pas ngadepin bang kumis penjaga rental sial itu.

The Power of Positive Thinking

By Remez Sasson

Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.

Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some consider the subject as just nonsense, and others scoff at people who believe and accept it. Among the people who accept it, not many know how to use it effectively to get results. Yet, it seems that many are becoming attracted to this subject, as evidenced by the many books, lectures and courses about it. This is a subject that is gaining popularity.

It is quite common to hear people say: "Think positive!", to someone who feels down and worried. Most people do not take these words seriously, as they do not know what they really mean, or do not consider them as useful and effective. How many people do you know, who stop to think what the power of positive thinking means?

The following story illustrates how this power works:
Allan applied for a new job, but as his self-esteem was low, and he considered himself as a failure and unworthy of success, he was sure that he was not going to get the job. He had a negative attitude towards himself, and believed that the other applicants were better and more qualified than him. Allan manifested this attitude, due to his negative past experiences with job interviews.

His mind was filled with negative thoughts and fears concerning the job for the whole week before the job interview. He was sure he would be rejected. On the day of the interview he got up late, and to his horror he discovered that the shirt he had planned to wear was dirty, and the other one needed ironing. As it was already too late, he went out wearing a shirt full of wrinkles.

During the interview he was tense, displayed a negative attitude, worried about his shirt, and felt hungry because he did not have enough time to eat breakfast. All this distracted his mind and made it difficult for him to focus on the interview. His overall behavior made a bad impression, and consequently he materialized his fear and did not get the job.

Jim applied for the same job too, but approached the matter in a different way. He was sure that he was going to get the job. During the week preceding the interview he often visualized himself making a good impression and getting the job.

In the evening before the interview he prepared the clothes he was going to wear, and went to sleep a little earlier. On day of the interview he woke up earlier than usual, and had ample time to eat breakfast, and then to arrive to the interview before the scheduled time.

He got the job because he made a good impression. He had also of course, the proper qualifications for the job, but so had Allan.

What do we learn from these two stories? Is there any magic employed here? No, it is all natural. When the attitude is positive we entertain pleasant feelings and constructive images, and see in our mind's eye what we really want to happen. This brings brightness to the eyes, more energy and happiness. The whole being broadcasts good will, happiness and success. Even the health is affected in a beneficial way. We walk tall and the voice is more powerful. Our body language shows the way you feel inside.

Positive and negative thinking are both contagious.
All of us affect, in one way or another, the people we meet. This happens instinctively and on a subconscious level, through thoughts and feelings transference, and through body language. People sense our aura and are affected by our thoughts, and vice versa. Is it any wonder that we want to be around positive people and avoid negative ones? People are more disposed to help us if we are positive, and they dislike and avoid anyone broadcasting negativity.

Negative thoughts, words and attitude bring up negative and unhappy moods and actions. When the mind is negative, poisons are released into the blood, which cause more unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure, frustration and disappointment.

Practical Instructions

In order to turn the mind toward the positive, inner work and training are required. Attitude and thoughts do not change overnight.

Read about this subject, think about its benefits and persuade yourself to try it. The power of thoughts is a mighty power that is always shaping our life. This shaping is usually done subconsciously, but it is possible to make the process a conscious one. Even if the idea seems strange give it a try, as you have nothing to lose, but only to gain. Ignore what others might say or think about you, if they discover that you are changing the way you think.

Always visualize only favorable and beneficial situations. Use positive words in your inner dialogues or when talking with others. Smile a little more, as this helps to think positively. Disregard any feelings of laziness or a desire to quit. If you persevere, you will transform the way your mind thinks.

Once a negative thought enters your mind, you have to be aware of it and endeavor to replace it with a constructive one. The negative thought will try again to enter your mind, and then you have to replace it again with a positive one. It is as if there are two pictures in front of you, and you choose to look at one of them and disregard the other. Persistence will eventually teach your mind to think positively and ignore negative thoughts.

In case you feel any inner resistance when replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, do not give up, but keep looking only at the beneficial, good and happy thoughts in your mind.

It does not matter what your circumstances are at the present moment. Think positively, expect only favorable results and situations, and circumstances will change accordingly. It may take some time for the changes to take place, but eventually they do.

Another method to employ is the repetition of affirmations. It is a method which resembles creative visualization, and which can be used in conjunction with it. It is the subject of another article on this website.

The other articles at this website, about the power of concentration, will power, self-discipline and peace of mind also contribute to the development of a positive mind, and are recommended for reading and practicing.

Penyesalan dan sebuah Pelajaran Hidup

Apa yang ada dipikiran kalian ketika membaca kata ini? terlintas sejenak dengan sebuah rasa sakit akan sebuah kesalahan atau kegagalan kita akan sesuatu yang kita perbuat di masa lalu.

Ketika kita mengalami sebuah kegagalan,apapun itu,cinta,pekerjaan,bisnis,pelajaran,atau apapun,selalu diikuti dengan penyesalan.

Banyak orang bilang,penyesalan selalu datang belakangan. Yah memang benar,tapi apakah makna dari sebuah sikap menyesal? apakah dengan menyesal kita bisa merubah kegagalan kita menjadi sebuah keberhasilan? apakah dengan menyesal beban kita bisa berkurang? Jawabnya adalah TIDAK! semua yang terjadi adalah sebaliknya,penyesalan selalu membuat kita dihantui rasa bersalah, yang justru cenderung menambah beban hidup kita.



Banyak orang yang tanpa sadar telah menghabiskan umurnya hanya utk menyesali apa yang telah terjadi,mereka selalu berpikir "seandainya aku tidak begitu,pasti skrg tidak begini" atau "coba saja dulu aku bisa begitu,skrg aku pasti tdk begini" dan pikiran itu terus bercabang2 sampai tak terhingga sampai akbirnya memenuhi 80% daya kerja berpikir otak kita.

Penyesalan selalu membuat kita selalu berpikir kebelakang ttg apa yg sudah terjadi yang sebenarnya kita tidak memiliki kuasa utk mengubahnya. Hal ini sangat tidak bermanfaat karna kita kehilangan kesempatan untuk berpikir kedepan.

Saya tidak mengatakan bahwa mengintrospeksi diri akan kesalahan kita itu tidak bagus,tapi terkadang sikap introspeksi.diri itu bisa berubah menjadi sifat menyalahkan diri sendiri yang diaebut penyesalan.

Dari semua hal yang saya sebutkan diatas,maka sangat jelaslah bahwa penyesalan sangatlah merusak dan berbahaya! Marilah kita memperbaiki diri bukan dengan memikirkan apa yg sdh terjadi di masa lalu,tapi sebaliknya,ketika kita gagal,jangan jadikan itu sebuah penyesalan,tapi jadikanlah sebuah pelajaran hidup yang terindah dan jangan jadikanlah masalah itu sebagai objek dari pikiran kita,melainkan jadikanlah diri kita sebagai Objek yang harus berkembang dan bertumbuh lebih baik lagi di masa depan,dan jangan pernah takut jatuh lagi,karna disaat kita jatuh disaat itulah kesempatan untuk melangkah lebih jauh terbuka lebar.Stay positive :) syalom
