Some People Say That the Education System of a Country Is The Only Critical Factor To The Development of a Country

Nowadays, education has been a most debated issue in both developed countries and developing countries. Although there are some another aspect of development in country, but education has been the main factor of recent years. Therefore many people argue that the education reflects the progress condition of a nation.
In each country there are problems of the development. For Example, rate growth of population and poverty. Many countries has been limited the number of population, because the government convince that the increasing of population leads to urban problems, such as problem in housing. There are limited areas in a country to life. Therefore, there is unbalancing population with the available land to life. Besides population aspects, governments also have to consider reducing the number of poverty in a nation. The enormous of poverty shows that the country could not be ready yet to be equal with other developed countries.
However, education is the solution for each problem in a country. For instance, to decrease number of poverty, people have to teach in several skills. Skills and also knowledge leads to many people to create a job and best goods for another people’s need, for example in creating goods of handicrafts and other useful things. Therefore with that goods and handicraft, people can earn money and life without poverty. On the other hand with knowledge from education people can learn more about the effects of rate growth population. As a result people and government work together to success the family plan programme.
To sum up, although there are some aspects of the development in a country, but education might be the most vital factor to the development of a country, because the best education is a best solution for problems in a nation.

Crawling Through Europe

The Wind Mill

Beautiful wind mills are all over the country side. The wheels inside actually spins really REALLY fast!





Arrival on European Soil

You know you've arrived in the Netherlands, when the sign words are so long, that they have to use the WHOLE space to fit the word. What does this word mean? I am not sure, but it has something to do with parking: that I do KNOW.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

by : Robert Frost*

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I––

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

*Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was an American poet. He is highly regarded for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech.[1] His work frequently employed settings from rural life in New England in the early twentieth century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes. A popular and often-quoted poet, Frost was honored frequently during his lifetime, receiving four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry…(wikipedia.org)

Manajemen Doa untuk Harapan yang Menguatkan Hidup

Tazkiyatun Nufus
12/9/2009 | 21 Ramadhan 1430 H | Hits: 3.757
Oleh: Dr. Setiawan Budi Utomo

Untuk mendapatkan hasil yang efektif dari doa, Peale menawarkan sepuluh kaidah dalam manajemen doa; 1. Meluangkan beberapa menit dalam setiap hari untuk hanya berfikir dan mengingat Tuhan; 2. Berdoa secara lisan dengan menggunakan kata-kata yang sederhana dan wajar sesuai suara hati; 3. Berdoalah sementara Anda memulai urusan kehidupan sehari-hari; 4. Jangan selalu meminta ketika Anda berdoa melainkan juga dengan pujian dan mengucapkan syukur; 5. Berdoalah dengan keyakinan bahwa doa yang sungguh-sungguh dapat menjangkau siapapun yang Anda kasihi; 6. Jangan pernah menggunakan pikiran negatif dalam berdoa; 7. Selalu ekspresikan kesediaan untuk menerima kehendak Tuhan; 8. Latihlah sikap menyerahkan segalanya ke dalam tangan Tuhan; 9. Berdoalah untuk orang-orang yang Anda tidak sukai atau memperlakukan Anda dengan buruk; 10. Buatlah daftar orang yang ingin Anda doakan. Semakin banyak Anda berdoa untuk orang lain, khususnya mereka yang tidak berhubungan dengan Anda, semakin banyak hasil doa akan kembali kepada Anda.
Kaidah kesepuluh tersebut sebenarnya juga dianjurkan oleh Frank Laubach dalam bukunya Prayer, the Mightiest Power in the World melalui teknik mengalirkan energi doa yang positif, ibarat tembakan strum listrik kepada siapapun tanpa pandang bulu termasuk orang-orang di jalanan yang ditemuinya. Hal ini sebagaimana sabda Nabi saw. bahwa seseorang yang mendoakan orang lain maka malaikat akan berdoa serupa untuknya.

Frightening Moment

I had worked as a sub district facilitator in 2007 at Walea Island in the middle of Tomini Bay, the wonderful place that I had not ever seen this before. I really enjoyed in this moment, as a facilitator, I had chance to view the unique place and community. It also gives me another lesson about how to manage the community during the activity.
However, it is also worrying me, because this is my first job that brought me far away from my home, in middle of the ocean. I remember the first day of mobilization. I and my friend in a team did not have any idea about what kind of area that we want to go. After sailing with big enough boat at least 12 hours finally we arrived in our island, the small one, lovely but it seems like isolated area.
Both of us had responsibility to manage the program in five different villages, but in fact, we were shocked, because those villages were separated in different islands. I remember when we had to go for our task in the outer island. It was almost dark when the boat that was used to take us back. I scarily get in that boat, the smallest boat with just one little machine.
It was so very dark when we were start to sailing in middle of the ocean. Fortunately I brought my little flash light, so we can use it to give signal to the other boat that might be pass (with hope the big boat would not be hit us because of the dark). The sailing was so very enjoyable with night wind and low wave, but suddenly it was became frightening when my friend was screaming and told to us that the water in already at our boat, the boat was leaking!!!. Oh my God…it was really scared me, in the dark and middle ocean even less I am not good swimmer. Drawn in the middle of the ocean then would be food by shark and another predator fish…oh my God I never imagined that before. So I was starting to entertain my self with long pray. Anyway we were starting to eliminate the water and thank God it worked so finally we could arrived save. But this would be my unforgettable and frightening moment.

my imagination: My first month in Netherlands

The first month with new hope and spirit
I have been a month here in Netherland. Time was running so fast. The first month with amazing and alarming. I found many things so amazing and wonderful in this country. The another world who entirely different from my country: the weather that made me always shivering, and the culture that made me learn about how to be good human in behave and off course in tolerant with each other and also a new view about world. I just feel that I found new world here, world that I hope would give me opportunity to be a good person who could give a great contribution to my lovely country in the future.
The main duties here is learning but made me feel so alarming. Although maybe it is easier than in another university, but I just found my self still crawling in every step. ‘Not success’ that is suitable word for my basic plans that does not work. My basic plan is going to be a good student here, and get A plus, yet I had been success slept in the class. Wow…how could I get my goal here with this condition??!! So pathetic. Sometimes I have been thinking about my currently condition, why it is happened to me; is it some kind of bad impact nutrient in develop country??or?? hmmm… Apologetic. 

Fortunately, I have found my class so wonderful and fantastic. There is so easier to find the lecturer for discussion or just for asking about the last lesson that I could not understand. They are so very welcome. Something that I can not find it out on my country, which is the lecturer so very busy with their own project sometimes. This condition bring me a new hope and great motivation to get back all of my basic goal here. Make a significant contribution to my lovely country. I really hope so. Always keep spirit!! 
