Character Propotional to Age?

One of my friend ask a question during a CEO Speaks event. He is quite young. He spelled his question with round-and-round-and-round-and-round preamble. The result, that CEO didn't know to answer, because the CEO didn't understand the question.

I noticed that situation. I spoke to my self, I see my self in that young fellow. Proud and silly. Very shallow but super arrogant. I did even worse. In a class presentation held by my friends, I asked a question and I answered it myself. (My God, if I remember that stupid experience, I feel so ashame. To ashame that I could throw my self to the sea right now).

So, the question is:

Will that young fellow will understand this in the future?

Does aging really matters to the character growth?

Well, my answer is yes. God faces us with so many experiences. The reason is one: so we can be more like Him. Wise is one of God's character.

What makes it different is:

How much a man want to learn from each experiences. 

A man who is humble enough to always learn from everything, everyone, everytime is the winner. While on the other hand, the one who refuse to learn and let the wind blows will gain a little percentage of this opportunities.

So yes, age does matter to character. But, what really matters is the humble heart to always learn. 

That makes a young fellow, can even more mature than an old childish man.

Life Is Hard for 30+ Unmarried in Indonesia

Life is hard for 30+ people unmarried in Indonesia. Somehow, whole universe like judging you. You know, like there is something wrong about you. Some questions which usually asked:
1. Are you afraid of commitment?
2. Were your parents divorced?
3. Are you a player?
4. Are you gay?
5. Are you financially insecure?
6. Do you have love problem or something?
And many elses.

The worse thing is, none of them really care. Whole of your surroundings never really ask you, what's your intention of being unmarried in such an old age. Like the whole system against you.

For example, I've tried to explain my intention to one person. Thankfully, he/she understand. Now imagine, almost 100 questions a day, even they come from the same person. Do you really want to explain that much. Energy wasting! Finally, that kind of people will just answered with cliche answer:
1. Soon
or,
2. Just pray for me
even sometimes,
3. I have, I just uninvited you with

Sometimes, I think too many pressure living unmarried in this country. Maybe someday, I will get married, just for avoiding this kind of questions. Might be.

28th

Life is going to be serious at this age.

I pictured my self as Steve Job, or maybe Gates, or Ahmadinejad, or elses. I pictured my self as a succeessful person, running big company, being a Mr. Popular with international acclamation, or maybe leading a country. At least I will be director of a company, or board directors perhaps.

Then I realized, that those all things that I want. Asked my self:

"Am I being succeessful if I achieved those dreams?".
"Is that the real purpose that I'm being created?"

Then I realized, even "taxi driver" could be a purpose of someone being created. For example the Taxi Driver loves his family so much then he become a great father with perfect working time and perfect earning for his family. Then, one of his child become a governor, senator or else. He might never raise a qualified children if he take another job.

Thus, I believe the important thing is not to be a president, director, leader or other that we used to think great. In the other hand, being great is to achieve perfectly the purpose of why we are being created. The specific reason behind our creation.

It is not what you are going to be, but how you are gonna achieve it. Have you really ask YOUR CREATOR, what is the purpose you are being created? Or you just take action which you think its best for you.

Me, my self, I choose to ask why am I being created. What THE CREATOR wants me to be. I will follow HIS will, and I a hundred percent sure that I am being succeessful by following what HE wants.

A tips for you guys who choose the same side with me:
"I believe THE CREATOR will show your achievement one by one. Like a candle light. HE will just show you the 5 meters away, because if I am shown that I will be a General Secretary of United Nations now, I would never believe it. But maybe, sometimes in the future, when I already know much about international agendas and politics, I might believe it.

So, let us fulfill our destiny by achieving our part, the main reason why am I being created. During the process, let us keep ask THE CREATOR to show us paths in front of us.

Happy Birthday to me 28th.
Be grateful my soul, for God will aways be with you.
Forever.

Tears

I once asked God, why should there are clothes to cover human?

I listened the answer and I wrote it here: http://sahathutajulubo.blogspot.com/2009/09/aurat.html

Now, I got some similar question about tears. Why should be there are tears?

I will come up with the answer if I already get it.

I'm sure there is some special explanations about this.

There I Was

There I was..

stood before the altar, hold tight my microphone;
the moving lamps were everywhere, flew easily accross the room.
Church room.

Then I sung my first tone. That's it. It happened, and I could not turn back. I must went through to praise and worship the Lord, that entire long night.

Only one thing blew on my mind that time: how all of us can feel the new dimension of Praise and Worship, the new atmosfer and the real humble heart in worshipping the Lord.

I did my best. What I did was, to praise God it self in honesty, in Spirit and in truth.

I liked it. How the church people responded the way of our act in worshipping the Lord. They had their own style, and I fully understand it. It doesn't matter how you look in worshipping the Lord, it just need to come out from your deepest heart.

Remind me once again, who must had the night, except Lord Jesus, King of King and Lord of Lord.

Oh gosh, that was not what I saw. He was abandoned, and I felt really sad about it. Some famous artists, who happended to came very late, had the high chair that night. The offering was damaged and ruined. All did was to wait for those famous artists, and more programs added to wait them.

Even, the special song, which never been written before, played, so that the famous artist could sang, so that she can please people church, and no ticket will be returned because of disappointment of audiences.

For some people, it was a great way, to save the night.
For me, it was the way to abandoned The Lord, and replaced Him with those famous artists.
New graven image was borned that night.
I was really sad about it, and I still am.

Rare to Write

It's been a very long time since I write in this blog. Let see, what are the updates:

1. I'm still me, with more laziness
2. I stuck in the same chapter of life
3. I... , don't know else what to write. Don't really like to write anymore, nor playing music, even my love to singing is decreasing.
4. I can not recognize my self anymore. Seems I'm at one particular phase.

God, please help me through this phase.

Hurt More

To open my window, and see those tall trees
It hurts me more...

To search those bit by bits memories
It hurts me more...

And, to think of that deep dark ocean
It hurts me even more...

Come! Hey you hurts...
I'll face you, in His beautiful love...

Plow-Harvest Law

Plow and Harvest Law, a law, simply law, similar with Archimedes Law or Newton Law. It’s simply like Gravity Law. If it stated in gravity law: if a thing is loosen in open air, it will be pulled to the earth surface. The righteous of gravity law is exactly the same with plow-harvest law; if you plow then you will harvest.

Some people have a weird mind frame about prosperity and wealth. Some people choose to hoard their riches as much as possible. They think as they hoard it a lot, it will increase a lot. As of matter of fact “yes”, it will increase, but trust me, according to the Plow-Harvest Law; it will not increase exponentially, and even (if you are unwise) it will decrease gradually.

If you want your money duplicate more, according to this law, there’s only one way to do it. The way is by give, give and give more. Giving, giving and giving. But not that kind of giving which I mention here. Giving that would just ask for your money to duplicate more. Giving that I mention here is, kind of giving with all our hearts to them who need it badly. As we know, lots of people there need our help. People who are difficult to eat everyday, people who are in deep sad of disaster, or even people who are working for humanity reason. They all need our help.

Now, let me explain how this Law works. The truth which we should now earlier about this law is:

• - Everything which we have is not ours. They are all belongs to God.
• - We are the treasurer of God
• - So everything is in our hand is just temporary in our hands.
• - God’s willing is to help their children.

So, as God’s willing to help His children who are on the bad situation, everything wills He gives for their children. If it must be money or food, of course He will give it to His children. So He will ask His dedicated treasurer to supply His riches to His children who need.

Of course, not every people realize this, that they are treasurer of God. So they use what that they have as they want.

So, God, as He see one of His treasurers trustable to through His riches to His children need, He will trust more of His riches to these treasurers. I type it once again: he will trust more of His riches of these treasurers.

And this is the miracle, that we, His trustable treasures, simply don’t get annoyed anymore of what will we eat, what we will drive, where we will live, as we also realize that we are also His children that need help. We don’t hardly thinking anymore to get more money, since we know who is the source of the riches is. The God is self.

That’s it. That is the miracle, when we fully understand that the source of riches is God Himself. We are no longer disturbed by from where we will get those needs. As we do our part to work, God will provide our needs.

That’s it. I already explain how Plow-Harvest law works.

Now is my example:
Several weeks ago, my brother in law and one of my friend lent money from me. I also borrowed some money for one of my friend. The amount of money which lent from me is more than money which I borrowed. Money which I lent is bout Rp 7 million, while money which I borrowed is about Rp.500.000,-. So, I try to practice this law. Rather than asked my brother in law and my friend for that money, I choose to pay my debt first. After I paid my debt, that night my brother in law and my friend send my money to my account. The law was worked. And yet, I do believe, even believe more, with this law.

So, are you wanted to practice this law also? If you still don’t believe it, please ask Oprah, Ford and Gates about this thing. They know this secret, so they build foundation for their riches.
