Flattered

When I wake up this morning, I saw a cat passed by. I remembered an advice from an old friend of mine. "Try to praise the cat" he said, "Most of them will eventually stopped by and looked at you" he continue his words. I call the cat "Hello pretty !" and magically she turn his face around and I can give her a good rub on her back and head. She eventually sit and enjoy my rub !

This is a good lesson, we knew a fact that most creature love to be flattered. We are just the same with them, but we showed it in a different way and sometime we knew that we are being flattered. Most of our reaction is blushing, and for some people that dislike it, they still said that they were flattered.

So, have you flattered someone today ?

Nobility of a Job

When we saw some people do certain job, a dirty one, we often pout what they do for their life. When we look closer, we are not much different from them who do an inappropriate job, just make some money for life. I didn't agree with robbery, thievery, debauchery, or some kind like that, what I was trying to say that sometime in our job, we do it just the same way as they did.

As an example, as a general practitioner in Indonesia, we are demanded to provide an excellent medical service with a minimum price. We, doctors, are not shaman, we need to perform a good physical examination, few laboratory examinations and you must buy your own drugs in our prescriptions. Most important of all we need make money to fund our live, buy our needs. More problems occur when incompetent person give some medication to a sick people (including a common people who buy a prescription drug on their own).

All problems we have, shown us how chaotic is the healthcare regulation in our country. Most healthcare regulation are for doctors and pharmacists. The regulation itself rather than giving a protection, just more pressure to them. In the addition, the unclear of law processing regulation make some side extort money from its victims. So, what can we do as a doctor ? Read more, Do more practice and hone your skills. So we can survive in this chaotic world and make a honest money for our living.

Guan Yu

In the age of wars, China has evolve into a great country. In the end of Han dynasty, The Romance of Three Kingdom Era, China has fallen into a chaos. Just like an ancient China sayings "Even In The Deepest Prairie, The Movement of a Dragon Cause Ripples", Dragon here means a change of government. In their daily life.

Commoner have no idea what's happen with their leaders, landlord. They only know how to do their job, but several people that have a little knowledge about philosophy and have a courage can nominate themselves as a hero that will bring unification in China once more, named Cao Cao. Lucky for him, standing in a correct place make him became the last faction that standing in that era of chaos, but not for long.

In The other side we learned the ancient noble family that has lost its power. They seek a noble figure that supported by people, The chosen one. They finally found someone, Liu Bei, the unwanted son-in-law of the old mother queen of Shu. But in the end his faction is the first faction that fall apart. -Was heaven toying with his people ?- "No !" Their falling is natural, because they loose their resources, Phang Thong, Zhu Ge Liang, and the next was Guan Yu.

Which heroes tales were the most famous of all in that era ? Most people will answer Guan Yu. What make him so famous ? Most of them said, his capability in a battlefield, his skill, his courage. When we talk about all of stregth we must not forget Lu Bu, he can't be beaten by  Guan Yu and his comrades. Then, what makes his tale famous ? His moral code and his rigidity to maintain it even sometime it give himself a disadvantage. One of the most well known chapter revealing this trait when he was captured by Cao Cao, All of Cao cao gift was accepted but he still wear an old cloth that given by Liu Bei. 

In this era of chaos nowadays, we almost never see a figure like him. His moral code yet his rigidity to maintain it is a rare yet valuable trait nowadays. Most people searched fast money, fast result, and the end corrupted act. Well, I'll leave the next thing to all of you ...Will you admired him only or, make yourself walk into the same path as him, the path of heroes ... ?

    

The X Factor

In certain stage in our live, we often confront a reality that not just match with books. Is that books tell us lies ? No, it;s not, but certain condition can turn everything out differently. Some misfortune event became a blessing and even blessing became a disaster. We call the certain condition the X factor. Not all X factor show us the result of their addition right away. some need the other x factor that can trigger additional event and eventually give us some result. It will be handy if we can predict those X factors and related events. But we can't. Too bad  ...

The only thing we can do to make the desired event occur and another X factor reveal themselves is exploring all possibility and pray that all things we have done eventually lead us to a good one. :)

Someone Like You

In our journey, we experience losing someone, a heartbreak. That's unpleasant experience, but it makes us grow somehow. In the nest turn we found ourselves fall in love again for someone else or shut our circle off and choose not to fall again. Sometime we just make the same choice and seek someone like him or her and eventually the history was repeated agin. 

Everyone have their own reason and they have right to do whatever they want to do in their life. Being loved or love someone is a delicate feeling yet so fragile and sometime turned into the opposite of it even we don't know and without our consciousness, we make our spouse troubled.

Not all marriage are based on love, some marriage often based on money or family trait and sometime that kind love story became a tragedy, like in the movies. Seeing somebody that you hate or somebody that you have to love even you don't know him or her it's painful situation at the first time. Will love grow ? Only time will tell us

Exhausted ...

The Benelovent Fool

When I read this article, I remembered an old comic book, the title is Jigoku Sensei Nube. In some Indonesian edition there were a very tearful episodes. It was episodes that told us about Nube past. Well for you who never read one, I spoil a little detail about Nube. He is a silly and poor teacher in a Domori Elementary School, despite his stupid looking, he is very powerful exorcist, thanks to his "demon hand". His "demon hand" is a very powerful demon that sealed in his left hand, and it has great and numerous spiritual powers. There is a special episode that told us about the origin of his "demon hand".

His father is the infamous exorcist in Domori City but always demand an enormous amount of money for his job. Nube never approve him as his father anymore because for Nube, The exorcist never took an advantage of people in needs of their powers. There is a flashback how all this thing happens, when Nube still child his mother sick and died because there is nobody willingly lend some money to cure his mother, even some people that have been helped by his father rudely reject his plead. This is a turning point that make Nube's father demand an enormous amount money for his job. In a contrary, Nube stay poor as a teacher and help anybody without demanding a payment.

I've found myself in this some kind situation for a while, but I've decided that I'll do my job as a physician as a professional do and make my living from it because I want to be happy in this life and to fulfill that, I need to have some money. Well, everyone has its own reason ...
