Alhamdulillah my brother, finally I write here. Really for writing here frequently need struggle. May be someone can say that my writing is very simple and little. It doesn’t need struggle. No, it’s wrong. It’s wrong for me. But I don’t know for others. May be I am still like this. I still get difficulty for writing here, morover for writing continously, every day.

My brother, I have dream to write here every day without stop until I die. I will stop writing here if I am dead. May I can do it.

I am sure that if I write every day here, so  day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year, my writing quality will be progress. In shAllah. Yeah, imsyaAllah. I am sure that.

My brother, I think we should also pay attention to something small. Sometimes, something small is very important and has big benefits to us. Beside that, something small can be big if we are dilligent in collecting it. :)

Ok my brother, may we can always get new spirit and inspiration everyday. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah my brother, I write again. I only want to write here that I should do all of my daily creations. Something small is never mind. Little by little. The most important I do it everyday. The most important is consistent.

My brother, consistent is very important. I think that the big thing that we we should do is consistent. Consistent can be done by everyone, not special one. I ever read a writing explain that a special character type of someone is consistent. So, it mean that the other people who doesn’t have that character type,can not be consistent.

If the conclusion is like that, I don’t agree. I disagree. I want to say here that everyone can be consistent. All of us. Not special one.

May we can be consistent. J. Ameen.

My brother, in this oppurtinity I want to write that we should not only think and care to ourselves. We should also think and care to others. Beside that, we should pay attention to society problem. What has happened to them. What is our reaction to the phenomenon that happen in the society. Are we only silent? Don’t we care it?

My brother, we are social beings. We are society. We are not alone. I ever get wiseword that small man is person who only think about himself and big man is person who doesn’t only think about himself but also others, the society.

Hm...my brother, I think we should have sensitivity to others, to their problem, their burden, etc. If we don’t do it we will be egoist and arrogant. Do we want to be like that? Hm..

May we an save from this disease. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah my brother, I write again. I hope that I can write everyday. J

My brother, last night I read a book that is written by Indonesian language but it has been translated into English. The title is “Maintain the Heart”. The author is Abdullah Gymnastiar, but well known as Aa Gym. Alhamdulillah I have read first chapter from that book and I want to share to you. I hope it can give advantage to us J.

My brother, Aa Gym told us that living in this world need important thing. What is it? That is maintain our heart. Because heart is a king in our body. If our king is bad, so we are bad. But uf our king is good so we are good. If we can maintain our heart we can enjoy this life , get great thing, avoid from problem, etc.

How the solution? He give us the step by step to manage the heart (qolbu). But in this writing I only write step one, that is self-recognition.

Self recognition is very important in our life. If we know our self well we will face this life well. But unfortunately, many people still don’t recognize theirselves eventhough they have been living in this world for long time.

There are three ways to get self-recognition. They are knowing our potential, focusing on ourselves and changing our perception to the good one.

For knowing our potential, we should evaluate our self-potensial. Why? Because by evaluating we will know well who we are. In this evaluating, we will face these question: Who am I actually? What am I here in this world? Who created me? What did He create me for? What can I do for my life in this world? What can I do for my life in the hereafter?What are my weaknesses (negative potential)? What are my strenghts (positive potential)?

For focusing on ourselves, we should start from ourselves if we want to see others perform good deeds. Then if we want to educate our children effectively, we have to exhibit the good deed as well.

Then, for changing our perception, we must be sure that we can change ourselves into a better person if we develop the good side and eliminate the bad one. We also should be very sure that Allah will always help the man who always praises Him. This perception will live up our motivation and bring us to be capable men. In sha Allah. :)

Ok my brother, may this writing can give advantage for us. :)

My brother, in this life we will find anything. Challenge, happines, sadness, etc. We are not in one condition. Sometimes, we are in good condition, but sometimes we are in bad condition. Off course, it will ilfluence us. So this way, we shoud try and do effort to always face it well.

My brother, in this life we need reality, not only lip service.  So this way, we should mantain our heart, our mind, our deed. We should wake up when we fall down. Wake up, wake up and wake up. Then we try in order we don’at fall down again. J

Alhamdulillah my brother, finally I write here after I forced myself to write. Sometimes, we need to be forced for doing good thing. J

My brother, I admire to a family of Mr. Iman Supriyono. He is my favorite writer. I like his writing. His writings has inspired me.

My brother, why do I admire? Because his children continoue their studying in abboard. First, “Bina Izzatu Dini”. Her senior high school was in Malaysia. Now, she is studying in one of university in China. Second, “Raih Salsabila”. Her senior high school was in Malaysia too. Now, If I am not wrong, she is studying in one of university in Malaysia. Third, “Aufa....”. He is studying in one of senior high school in Malaysia. Mr. Iman has 7 children. So, four children after them may be will continoue their studying in abboard.

Hm...I think, it is something great. I want to know, what is the secret until he can make their children are like that. I want to study more to him, minimally by his writing. J

May Allah give him consistent in writing and always write inspiring writing. And also, may all of his children get success in the world and hereafter. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah, finally I write again here. At about three months I didn’t write here. Wow, it is great. I feel that if I don’t write here there is something less from me. I feel that I don’t do anvantage thing or I feel that I don’t make creation. Because I think that writing here is also cration eventhough something small. If I write here everyday, I will create big creation because something small will be big if we collect it. :)

My brother, I hope to myself in order I don’t only write today, but also tomorrow, after tomorrow and forever untill I die. I hope I can. Ameen. I should don’t care to get mistake in writing here. Mistake and wrong aresomething usual in our life. So, I should don’t care about this. I also should don’t care whether my writing has good quality or bad quality. Now, the most important is writing. About quality, it will be better and get progress after I write many times and read many books more. I am sure that. I have felt about it. For the first time, I write by English is very rigid and I don’t enjoy it. But alhamdulillah now I feel better than before.

My brother, I have a friend, Nuril Hidayat. He has willing to continoue his study for postgraduate program. But he still doesn’t have enough money. So this way, he will work and then 4 or 5 months later he will register his self to entering one of University in Surabaya or Malang. May Allah help him. Ameen.
