Ujian Asa

Merajut keselarasan melintas kekuasaan

Mendamba senyuman kesemuanya

Kenikmatan meleleh menjadi pilihan

Keterluntaan berubah menjelma teman


Saat upaya terhadang tradisi

Teladan terasa angin yang melaju berlawanan arah

Hati sesekali merintih

Nafas terkadang turut menjerit


Oh…

Ikhlaskah sebuah jawaban

Relakah suatu harapan

Atau kesabaran adalah tuntutan itu


Wahai dzat pemilik segalanya

Tempatku berkeluh kesah

Arah semua rintihan

Tujuan berjuta harapan

Lantunan keresahan hati hanya kepada-Mu


Ya Rahman… Ya Rahim…

Kuatkanlah

Senyuman, mutiara terlupakan....

Sebuah hari penuh senyuman....

Suasana syhadu....

Potensi pengetar hati dan perekat silaturrahim....

Lukisan nyata keindahan Makhluk.....


Mari....

Mari...

Mari....

Membumikannya....

Jangan...

Jangan...

Jangan...

Meracuninya....

Racun yang tak kau sadari dari jiwa yang resah....

wahai jiwa yang senantiasa merindukan ketenangan....

Bersimpuhlah pada tuhan semesta alam...

Merengek untuk menjadikan senyum sebagai sarana untuk mendapatkan ridhoNya....

No mind and let them go away

When your dreams which is so beautiful never become true, no mind. When you run after your hope and it has never arrived, no mind.


Whatever happened, I will be your side. Do not be sad, because everything's gonna be OKAY


One of many possibilities, you fall in with no expectations. That time I dedicated my self with the spirit, dream, love and hope.


We try to connect on one by one cause and effect. But, be calm down.

We have a heart’s eye which bring us to happiness. You and I know, there's always the way.


I also know one thing again that problems always come over us as if the waves crashing against the rocks. But I know .. I know you're able to face them calmly. Face them with me till death.


When you expect friendliness of love, then you have never got it, no mind. Listen to my song that all is not over yet.


Join our step. Hold our heart and emotion.



Get the happiness….!!!

George Gershwin

George gershwin was born in New york city in 1898. He became one of America's greatest composers. He is known for his beautiful, exiting concert pieces, as well as for the popular music he wrote for plays and movies.

George was one of the first composers to mix symphonic music with popular music of the day. He came up with a whole new american sound. At the time george was born, america didn't really have a serious classical music style of its own. Most american composers borrowed ideas from great european composers, like beetoven, bach, and chopin.

There was a new kind of popular music, though, that was very American. It was called jazz. Jazz was invented by African-American musicians, who used ideas from lots of different styles of music. They often combined work songs from slave times and religious folk songs (called spirituals) with an exciting beat and rhythm. Two other styles of music that helped make up jazz were ragtime and blues. The musicians made up most of the music as they went along, and played the way they felt at the moment. Because of this, notes were never written down, and pieces never sounded exactly the same way twice.

When George was little, new york city was a pretty rough and tough place to grow up in. Neighborhoods were crowded and there weren't many parks or playgrounds around, so kids had to play in the streets. George enjoyed playing street hockey and stickball. He learned to fight pretty well, too, and he was one of the best roller skaters around.

George didn't seem to have much of an interest in music until one day when he was seven or eight years old. George was roller-skating through a neighborhood in new york called Harlem. Harlem was filled with restaurants and clubs where jazz bands played. George never forgot the exciting, lively beat of the music.
He often roller-skated or hitched rides back to Harlem, just so he could sit outside of restaurants and clubs and listen.

A short time later, George heard some classical violin music. He loved the beautiful sound. The kids in George's neighborhood thought only nerds were interested in music.

George didn't care what anyone thought. After that day, he decide he would learn everything he could about music right away.

George started going to free concerts, where he enjoyed listening to classical music. He even experimented with making up his own songs on a friend's piano.
When George was twelve, a wonderful thing happened. His parents bought a piano. It was really for George's older brother, Ira. Everyone in the family was very surprised when George started playing the piano as soon as he saw it.

George was lucky to find excellent piano teachers when he started taking lessons. By the time he was fifteen, he was good enough to get a job playing the piano at a company that wrote songs and printed sheet music. It was in an area of new york city called tin pan alley. Singers and other show-business people would stop by to listen to new songs for their acts. It was about the only way someone could hear a new song, since there weren't any radios yet, and most people didn't have record players. George got to meet some famous people, like Fred Astaire and his sister, Adele. Sometimes George played his own songs for them.

George's songs were so lively and fun to listen to that it wasn't long before one of them became a big hit. It was called "swanee." a famous singer of the day, Al Jolson, heard George play "Swanee" at a party and decided to sing it in his Broadway show. From then on, George found it easier to get job writing his own music, instead of just playing the music of other composers.

George sometimes asked his brother, Ira, to write words for his songs. Even though George and Ira were very different types of people, hardly anyone worked better together when it came to making music. George and Ira both enjoyed painting, too. Next to writing music, painting was George's favorite thing to do.

There Is No eternal Sorrow

There are no eternal sorrow in this world

The night will end, the day will change

Fate of life will be lived





Tears and laughter are the songs that accompany life

A heart which missed the love on your way

But I believe to the heart which believing

All will be beautiful in the end



I wish I could repeat

Time lost and wasted

Flowers that bloom will wither and die

Just express it (Ekspresikanlah)

Hey guys, just listen to me

Express and embrace your dream

Set determination to achieve the dream

As fresh as the moment when some hot coffee that accompany you to color a morning


An evening sun is still shining on the western horizon

Let’s arrange a plan for tomorrow and fly away

Come on, don’t let a doubt prevent you

Add a little milk to make a new coffee flavor


Hey guys!

Be like you want (Just free your mind and keep it real)

Hey guys!

Express yourselves as you want (Just free your mind and keep it real)


It’s just about a step that you will decide it

The way that you will choose to reach the goals

What for do we have the feet but we don’t walk

What for do we have the eyes but we don’t look at the future

It’s nothing we have a dream, but we don’t take an action

A chance is useless if we don’t take it

I don’t care what people think about

Set determination, and get freedom


Hey guys!

Be like you want (Just free your mind and keep it real)

Hey guys!

Express yourselves as you want (Just free your mind and keep it real)

Free your mind and keep it real.. Just express your self!!

Hey kawan, hey teman semua yang mendengarkan

Ungkapkan rasa cita dalam pelukan

Bulatkan tekad untuk raih mimpi bertepi

Sesegar kopi hangat temani warnai pagi

Mentari senja tetap bersinar di ufuk barat

Mari susun rencana ke depan kita melesat

Cepat! Jangan terhambat oleh rasa ragu

Tambahkan sdikit susu tuk aroma kopi yang baru


Hey kau!

Jadikanlah dirimu seperti yang kau mau (Just free ur mind and keep it real)..

Hey kau!

Xpresikanlah dirimu seperti yang kau mau (Just free ur mind and keep it real)..

Ini tentang langkah yang kau tentukan

Cara yang kau pakai tuk mencapai sebuah tujuan

Apa artinya kaki bila kau tak berjalan

Apa guna mata bila tak menatap masa depan

Untuk apa bermimpi, bila kau tak melangkah

Untuk apa kesempatan bila tak ambil celah

Persetan aku, dia, juga mereka

Bulatkan tekad, lalu. Rasakan lah merdeka!!


Hey kau!

Jadikanlah dirimu seperti yang kau mau (Just free ur mind and keep it real)..

Hey kau!

Xpresikanlah dirimu seperti yang kau mau (Just free ur mind and keep it real)..

Free your mind and keep it real.. Just Xpress your self!!



A lyric of Bondan's song

Don’t give up (Jangan menyerah)

There is none is born perfectly
Don’t regret everything that has happened

We must be ever got an ordeal
Until this life as if it means nothing

Thank for whatever you get
Life is a gift from the God
Do the best for this life

There is none is born perfectly
Don’t regret everything that has happened

The God must show his gracious and merciful for servants who patiently and never despair


The Indonesian Translation


Tak ada manusia yang terlahir sempurna
Jangan kau sesali segala yang telah terjadi

Kita pasti pernah dapatkan cobaan yang berat
Seakan hidup ini tak ada artinya lagi

Syukuri apa yang ada hidup adalah anugerah
Tetap jalani hidup ini melakukan yang terbaik

Tak ada manusia yang terlahir sempurna
Jangan kau sesali segala yang telah terjadi

Tuhan pasti kan menunjukkan kebesaran dan kuasanya
Bagi hambanya yang sabar dan tak kenal putus asa


a song lyric of d' masive

Try (Mencoba)

One who refuse to try is the same as who have tried and failed to execute.

If there is a golden chance that comes over us, accept it, do something, and try it.

Because the chance to try is much better than no chance, so, do something.

Do something, because sometimes success is in the corner next to the bend more after one or one more step forward as we tried to take.

Many people ignore the possibility of successful is only because there is the possibility of failure.

A wrong logic, but it’s surprisingly that many people who prevent themselves from getting the chance of success because they are more interested in the possibility of failure.


Therefore whatever the success possibilities of a project, do it, try to do something is much better than the failed and did not get anything because they just doing nothing and don’t approach the process of works.

Once again, the people who did not try is the same as the people who have tried and failed.


The Indonesian Translation


Orang yang menolak mencoba sama saja dengan orang yang telah mencoba melaksanakan dan gagal.

Apabila dalam waktu dekat ini ada kesempatan emas yang datang menghampiri kita, maka terimalah, lakukanlah sesuatu, cobalah.

Karena kesempatan mencoba itu lebih baik daripada tidak, maka lakukanlah sesuatu.
Tetapi yang pasti, lakukanlah sesuatu, karena kadang-kadang keberhasilan itu di sudut sebelah setelah satu belokan lagi atau satu langkah lagi ke depan setelah kita berupaya melangkah.

Banyak orang mengabaikan kemungkinan berhasil hanya karena ada kemungkinan gagal.
Sebuah logika yang salah, tetapi yang mengherankan banyak sekali orang yang mencegah dirinya dari mendapatkan kemungkinan keberhasilan hanya karena dia lebih tertarik kepada kemungkinan kegagalan.

Dengan demikian apapun kemungkinan keberhasilan sebuah proyek, melakukannya, mencobanya tetap lebih baik daripada gagal dan tidak mendapatkannya karena sama sekali tidak mencobanya dan mendekati proses kerjanya.

Karena sekali lagi, orang-orang yang tidak mencoba sama gagalnya dengan orang-orang yang telah mencoba dan gagal.

A Big Plan

Don’t arrange small plans, but arrange the big one.

The small plans will be easy to reach, and it can be imagined long time before we even start them.

That’s why the small plans won’t make us excited.

It’s surely your small plans won’t attract other people to ask you to be their leader.

Therefore, plan to reach great things.

Look up, those who look up will see the road to the top.

When your eyes are dazzled and your hearts are underestimated by the brilliance of the winners who had reached great achievements, while you are looking up there.

You can make that underestimated feeling as coercive power to focus and use all of your power to achieve a class winner in your career choices and business.

Don’t arrange small plans.

Don’t waste the beauty of your creation on small goals.

Arrange big plans.

Adjust your winner potential with the potential of your work, from the path you choose toward your success as a conductor.

Be excited with your possibilities.

Imagine the success that will excite your soul, and immediately do hard work to make them come true.

That’s why don’t arrange small plans, but arrange the big one.


The Indonesian Translation


Janganlah anda membuat rencana-rencana yang kecil, buatlah rencana-rencana yang besar.

Rencana-rencana kecil akan mudah dicapai dan bahkan pencapaiannya telah lama terbayang jauh sebelum kita memulainya.

Itu sebabnya rencana-rencana yang kecil tidak mempunyai pengaruh yang besar untuk membuat kita bersemangat.

Dan yang pasti rencana-rencana kecil anda tidak akan menarik perhatian orang lain untuk menjadikan anda sebagai pemimpin mereka.

Maka rencanakanlah pencapaian hal-hal yang besar.

Lihatlah ke atas.

Hanya orang yang melihat ke atas yang melihat jalan naik.

Bila dalam proses melihat ke atas itu, mata anda disilaukan dan hati anda dikecilkan oleh kecemerlangan para pemenang yang telah lama mencapai kebintangan di atas sana.

Jadikanlah perasaan tertinggal itu sebagai tenaga pemaksa untuk memusatkan perhatian dan penggunaan dari semua kemampuan anda untuk mencapai kelas pemenang dalam pilihan karir dan bisnis anda.

Janganlah membuat rencana-rencana yang kecil.

Janganlah anda memboroskan keindahan dari penciptaan anda pada tujuan-tujuan kecil.
Buatlah rencana-rencana yang besar.

Sesuaikanlah potensi kebintangan anda dengan potensi dari hasil pekerjaan anda, dari jalan yang anda pilih sebagai penghantar menuju keberhasilan anda.

Bersemangatlah anda dengan kemungkinan-kemungkinan anda.

Bayangkanlah keberhasilan yang mendebarkan hati anda, dan bersegeralah anda bekerja keras untuk mencapainya.

Itu sebabnya janganlah anda membuat rencana-rencana yang kecil.

Buatlah rencana-rencana yang besar.

Decide Our Action

Decide the choice of a good action without it has to depend on how our mood are like.

We are often being confused in condition that our mood don’t support our will to reach the productivity of works.

Most of people know what they have to do but they can’t manage their mood, so that they are doing nothing.

Sometimes we can’t choose the mood that we want, but we can decide the type of action that we will take even though our mood don’t support us.

There is no one who can make another to be amazed except one those can do a good thing for other people while they are in pain.

The people are those who can prove that they are still able to do a good thing both for themselves and others when they are even in a bad mood.

Decide the choice of a good action without it has to depend on how our mood are like.


The Indonesian translation


Tentukanlah pilihan tindakan yang baik, tanpa bergantung kepada kualitas perasaan kita.

Tidak jarang kita dibingungkan oleh keadaan di mana perasaan kita tidak mendukung keinginan kita untuk mencapai hal-hal yang produktif.

Banyak orang tahu apa yang harus dilakukannya tetapi tidak mampu mengelola perasaannya, sehingga yang dilakukannya tidak penting lagi.

Memang terkadang kita tidak bisa memilih jenis perasaan yang menguasai hati ini, tetapi yang pasti adalah bahwa kita bisa menentukan tipe tindakan yang bisa kita ambil meskipun perasaan sedang tidak mendukung.

Tidak ada orang yang lebih mengundang hormat daripada orang yang perasaannya sangat hancur, tetapi perilakunya memuliakan orang lain.

Orang-orang ini adalah orang-orang yang membuktikan bahwa rasa perasaan yang ada di hati tidak perlu mengganggu kualitas yang kita lakukan bagi diri sendiri dan bagi orang lain.

Tentukanlah pilihan tindakan yang baik, tanpa bergantung kepada kualitas perasaan kita.

Siapkan garasi untuk pesawat kita (Prepare a garage for our own plane).

Pernahkah kita merasa tuhan tidak menjawab do'a kita?
Ketika kita meminta sesuatu kepada tuhan namun tiada kunjung mendapatkannya, akhirnya menganggap bahwa do'a kita sia-sia.

Terkabul tidaknya suatu permintaan tergantung siap tidaknya kita menerima anugerah itu.

Sebuah contoh saat kita meminta suatu pesawat kepada tuhan, maka apakah dengan tiba-tiba kita mendapatkannya. Pastinya tidak jawabanya. Kalaupun tiba-tiba jatuh dari atas, itu malah merepotkan kita. Lantas bagaimana?

Tuhan menyuruh kita untuk mempersiapkan diri sebelum memberikan pesawat. Mulai dari informasi pengunaan pesawat, perawatan, dan tempat untuk menyimpannya.

Ilustrasi di atas mencerminkan bahwa ikhtiar merupakan bagian dari do'a, dan juga merupakan latihan kesiapan kita sebelum benar-benar memiliki apa yang kita dambakan.

Maka, mari menyiapkan garasi sebelum pesawat kita datang.

The english translation

Have we felt the God doesn't answer our prayers?
When we asked for something to god but no go get it, finally assume that our supplications vain.

Granted a request depends on how far we are prepared to accept that grace.

An example of when we asked for a plane to the god, then what are all of a sudden we get it. Surely not the answer. Even if a sudden fall from the top, it even bother us. Then what?

God told us to prepare before giving the plane. Ranging from plane usage information, maintenance, and a place to store it.

The illustration above reflects that the initiative is part of the prayer, and also the readiness of our practice before you actually have what we want.

So, let's prepare the garage before our plane arrived.

Kemenangan Akhir (A victory in the end)

Kemenangan Akhir


Kemenangan di akhir sebuah pertandingan merupakan tujuan semua peserta kompetisi. Permulaan lancar memanglah baik, namun demikian salah besar jika merasa kemenangan sudah digenggam.

Karena memang pemenang adalah orang yang mengumpulkan nilai tertinggi di akhir pertandingan meskipun sempat terseok-seok di awal.

Menarik mencermati sebuah konsep yang mencirikan kemenangan (kesuksesan) orang di akhir pertandingan (kehidupan) yang disampaikan Rasulullah SAW.

Dalam hadis tersebut ditunjukkan ada 4 empat indikator yang HARUS DIHINDARI agar terjaga peluang untuk memenangi pertandingan (kebahagiaan di akhir).

1. Jangan mengingat kebaikan yang telah dilakukan.
Orang yang senantiasa mengingat dan membanggakan pencapaian (kebaikan) yang telah diraih akan melemahkan semangat dan daya kreatifnya. Karena telah menganggap dirinya berhasil. Meskipun pada kenyataannya hal itu bukanlah benar-benar kesuksesan yang nyata.

2. Jangan melupakan dosa-dosa yang pernah diperbuat.
Sikap seperti ini akan mengakibatkan kecerobohan dalam langkah-langkah yang akan diambil. Karena melupakan kesalahan yang telah dilakukannya.

3. Jangan memandang yang lebih tinggi atas harta.
Bagi orang yang telah mapan, ia cenderung bertahan dalam "comfort zone"-nya dan memudarkan jiwa militannya. Sehingga menganggap remeh peluang-peluang berserakan yang dianggapnya kecil dan tidak berarti.

4. Jangan memandang yang lebih rendah atas ilmu.
Karena fokus terhadap sesuatu yang besar, ia kurang memperhatikan hal-hal kecil yang sebenarnya potensial menjadi besar jika dikelolanya dengan baik.


The english translation :

Victory at the end of a game is the goal of all participants of the competition. We need a good beginning, however, it’s wrong when you feel you have already won. Because that winner is the person who collected the highest score at the end of the game though had stumbled in the beginning.

It’s interesting to look at a concept that characterizes the victory (success) people at the end of the game (of life) who delivered the Prophet Muhammad.
In the hadith it is shown that there are four indicators in order TO AVOID awake a chance to win (the happiness in the end).

1.Do not remember the kindness that you have been done.
People who always remember and be proud of the achievement (the goodness) that has been achieved would weaken the spirit and creative power. Having considered himself successful. Despite the fact that it is not really a real success.

2. Do not forget the sins you have ever done.
Attitudes like this will lead to carelessness in the steps to be taken. Due to forget the mistakes he had made.

3. Do not see a higher return on assets.
For people who have been established, it tends to persist in the "comfort zone" and diminish his militant spirit. Thus underestimate the opportunities which it deems scattered small and insignificant.

4. Do not look lower on the science.
Because the focus of something big, he pays little attention to the little things that actually make it big potential if managed properly.

Menghargai dan Menikmati Proses

Apakah anda punya impian? Tentu. Memiliki cita-cita? Pasti. Impian, cita-cita atau apapun namanya, yang jelas semua orang punya keinginan untuk dicapai. Betul? Meskipun saya tidak bisa mendengar jawaban anda, tapi saya yakin anda mengiyakannya, kan?
Manusia hidup bersama impian dan cita-citanya. Hal itu pulalah yang membuat ia tetap bertahan untuk tetap berusaha sampai sekarang, terus dan terus. Sesulit apapun itu.
Kemudian barangkali muncul pertanyaan, kenapa ya kok kadang target dan impian yang kita kejar rasanya sulit sekali dicapai?
Emang!
Lho, kok emang?
Mau gimana lagi, emang seperti itu sifatnya impian.
Lalu? Percuma dong punya mimpi kalau gitu?
Bentar, tarik nafas dulu, dan dengarkan saya baik-baik. Hehe
Coba banyangkan kalau mengejar cita-cita itu seperti kita ngasih makan ayam, gak asik kan? Apalagi ayamnya lagi kelaparan, kayaknya hampir nggak ada kesulitan. Balita tetanggaku aja bisa kalau cuma gitu. Haha!
Ok, akan coba saya jelaskan yang lebih masuk akal.
Tuhan menciptakan tiap-tiap impian beserta syarat-syarat yang musti diusahakan atau jalan-jalan yang harus ditempuh kalau ingin impian itu tercapai, ikhtiar gitulah bahasa kerennya. Kenapa demikian?
Nah, dalam proses pencapaian cita-cita tersebut, Tuhan sekaligus mengajari kita ilmu dan pengertian-pengertian yang begitu berharga.
Tentu saja kita mengenal apa yang namanya poses, yakni tahapan-tahapan yang harus dilalui untuk sampai pada tujuan. Memang terasa penat dan tak jarang mengundang frustasi dan keputusasaan. Tapi justru di sinilah kita dikenalkan yang namanya ‘kesabaran’ yang kita alami dan rasakan sendiri. Learning from experience!
Dengan demikian, ketika impian itu sudah terwujud, kita masih bisa memetik pelajaran lagi dari situ. Yaitu ‘rasa menghargai’ terhadap hasil yang dicapai. Betapapun jumlah dan bentuknya. Karena kita tahu dan merasakannya sendiri kesulitan untuk mendapatkannya. Dari sinilah akan muncul sikap ‘syukur’.
Inilah yang disebut Rasulullah saw, sebagai hal yang menakjubkan bagi orang yang percaya (beriman). Bahagia disyukuri, belum beruntung bersabar. Cakep kan?
Dan selayaknya kita memang tidak perlu khawatir jika kita memang benar-benar percaya dan yakin bahwa usaha kecil kita akan “didongkrak” oleh sang maha pengasih. Bahkan Allah mengisyaratkan ada dua kemudahan atau jalan keluar dalam satu masalah (kesulitan). (QS [92]:5-6)
So, tugas kita hanya berusaha sebaik-baiknya, dan Allah akan mengantarkan hasilnya.
Hiduplah dengan mimpi sebesar mungkin dan nikmati prosesnya. Sepakat???

The questions in life

The problems which arise in our life is like a question that should be answered.

Actually, the answers which are needed aren’t about true or false only such as multiple choices when doing an examination. But, it’s like an interview or thesis tests. We have to be confident and responsible for what are given.

The conviction and responsibility have to be evidenced by finishing and implementation actions obviously.

(The Indonesian translation)
Masalah yang timbul dalam hidup layaknya suatu pertanyaan yang mesti dijawab.
Pada dasarnya, jawaban yang dibutuhkan tidak sekadar benar atau salah seperti dalam soal ujian pilihan ganda di sekolah. Namun lebih dekat seperti tes wawancara atau ujian skripsi, yaitu seberapa yakin dan bertanggung jawab atas jawaban yang telah diberikan.
Keyakinan dan tanggung jawab tersebut dibuktikan dengan tindakan penyelesaian dan implementasi di lapangan.

A Lesson From The Market


The simply definition of market is a regular gathering of people for the purchase and sale of provisions, livestock, and other commodities, or and area in which commercial dealings are conducted.

When we come to that place, there are so many people who offer and provide the choice for us. It will make nuance of competition lively more.
We couldn’t hope to get a good place there if we neglect the principle of its competition. Being productive, creative, and innovative are the absolute requirements to exist. Unless you have two choices only, become onlooker or go home instead.
Sometimes the market feels so cruel. It isn’t easy to fool the consumers, your competitors become more attractive day by day, and of course you can’t claim that the God is unfair if you lost the game further.
Actually we need the God’s miracles and we should work harder to pick his gifts up. Because we are the only person who can be relied to do the best.

Therefore, it’s going to be useless if we just cry for the failures which it’s just about the irrelevance between the first expectation and the reality. But, it means we are given another chance to learn and practice more to conquer the market.

Tanaman Cita-cita

Sebuah rumus pasti setiap orang memiliki cita-cita dalam hidupnya. Karena tiada orang tanpa impian selain orang yang sudah mati. Dan tidak perlu berbuat konyol dengan memperdebatkannya.

Mempunyai cita-cita, apapun itu, seperti menanam suatu tanaman yang mana setiap tanaman butuh dirawat dengan disiram dan dipupuk teratur agar pertumbuhannya terjaga. Selain itu perlu adanya kontrol (evaluasi) untuk mengantisipasi adanya hama dan penyakit perusak.

Perlakuan ini harus selalu terjaga dengan baik hingga tanaman tersebut berbuah (tercapai).

Namun, ada hal yang paling penting. Yakni untuk menanam tidak cukup hanya merencanakannya saja. Harus segera "take action" dalam merealisasikannya dengan jalan mengerjakan hal-hal meskipun sederhana yang menunjang dalam mencapai panen (cita-cita)
