(REWRITTEN FROM ANONIMOUS)

Just respect your lecturer! They loves us..

December,7th 2011


It was the day my lecturer angry with us because we didn't respect him.
What did we do?
We didn't listen his explanation, but made our class so noisy.
It was our bad habit.
We were on chat each other, disturb another person, even though  my lecturer teached us.
Ya, that was our mistake, had no respect and ethic.
What we did was like child behavior,, it's embarassed.


Then, our lecturer looked like very angry and prefer to keep silent in front of the class, allow us to chat each other. but, what's happened then?
We were silent, so silent, because of being afraid.
It was bad behaviour of Indonesian student.
From primary school, till undergraduated students, we did it..
Do ev'rything what we want without respecting teacher,, but when teacher angry and allow us to do ev'ryting we enjoy, we keep silent.
It has to be change!!


there were many lessons he gave to us, values of life we have to understand..
1. I have to be useful where ever I am
It is one philosophy of life,,
What is our purpose in this brief life? Is it being rich? Is it having happy family? Is it reach high position on your carrier? Then, if you get them, what will you do? Die uselessly??????
so, whereever you go, you have to be useful..
My lecturer I tell you first, said that he had been a lecturer for about 27 years. And, do you know what motivate him to be like that? It was a wonderful story I got,,
When he was an undergraduate student like me, he was so poor. He came from Aceh, and he had difficulty to eat well because of economic problem. but, he had one lecturer who very very very loves him. The lecturer was very care toward him, and he was like a bestfriend for my lecturer.
When my lecturer graduated, his teacher just wanted him to be lecturer like him. My lecturer then be like his teacher wish. He did it to show his thanks.

2. There is only one speaker at once
It is an principal term of communication. You are an gentleman if you can listen what others say to you, without cut it with your speak. It is difficult to person like me, who like talking many topic,, but i have to try it. You will try to, won't you?

3. There's always meaning behind the words
It is very important to know, if you want to be a good listener. Just understand that everyword has its meaning and effect. So, you will appreciate and respect others. 

4. Learn to be gentle, disturbing others' compulsion is the same with disturbing someone who in worship 
My lecturer said that we will graduate soon, we have to learn how to respect others, especially teacher. Why? When teacher does his task and teaches us, it means he is doing his worship to God. If we disturb him, it is the same with disturb his worship.. What kind of person that doing like that? 

5. Be a goodfriend,,
Being a friend is so important. One friend is very precious in life, so it is better having friend without having enemy. One way to be a friend is listening well what others say to us.

ok, that all I want to share to you.
I hope this writing can be useful for you to be a better person.
Finally, i let you to start trying to change for better future,
One thing i hope you know is "Make your lecturer angry is a big mistake and fatal error that make your heart hurted,, so, don't ever make them sad and angry,, just respect them,, and at the future, your child willl respect on you too."


God bless all
peace be upon you,, :D

Chinese-lit

first, this writing may be an unperfect articel in English, but I try to write it..
I'm so sorry if you -who read it- fell uncomfort or maybe confuse to get what i mean.. 
let's read ^_^


I'm an Indonesian..
but if i'm asked about my tribe, i ever confused what i should answer
yeah, i was born at Central Java, Cilacap region..
it is west side of this province..
so, some people at my village use Javanese, and some else Sundanese..
but, i don't use both of them.. i prefer to use Indonesian...
to tell you proudly, my parents were born at West Java,,
my father was born at Tasikmalaya, and my mother at Banjarsari..
it is near Pangandaran beach,, you should now this beach if you have ever visited Indonesia..
but, they got marriage at Central java..


many people will know who i am, or may be won't know, if they see me.
yeah, my face show you that i am a person from Chinese ethnic,
it's minor people in Indonesia..
but, in my body, i have Javanese blood, a little i think..


if  i asked about chinese, even its food, its language, its culture, i don't know what to tell..
i didn't know how to cook chinese food,, i didn't know how to speak Chinese (mandarin), just know to tell "wo ai ni" and "wo pe ce tao".. hehehe
about culture, i just know Imlek tradition.. 
so, it is interesting when i saw a book titled "Sastra Cina Sepintas Lalu" by Nio Joe Lan..
it is a book about Chinese literature..


as you know, Chinese literature is containing many literature about condition, history, poem, or even hsiao shuo (Indonesian: omong kosong).. it is so interesting to read..
i think, although you have no relation with Chinese blood at al, you knew one of them,, it is about Mu'lan story,, i think you have watched its cartoon when you were a child..


i just want to tell you about some Dynasty in China,
first dynasty -when literature was well developed- was Chou dynasty..
after this, there was 7 country in war (i don't know what the right phrase to say 7 negara berperang)
it was continuing by Chin and Han dynasty. after that, there were three country in China.. one of them was Wei.. after that, Tsin dynasty held the authority. at this dynasty, Buddisht started entering China.. at the end of that dynasty, Chine broke into 2 dynasty: North and South. 
the North one was attacked by 5 nomaden nations near that region, so the poem at this one was talking about war, suffer, sorrow and death.. on the other side, South poem told about love, harmony, and some else about serenity.. this could be united by Sui dynasty, but this dynasty just     survived in short-time. the dynasty then held by Tang.. Literature in this period was developed rapidly.. after that dinasty, there are still many dynasty. but i can't tell you know because i haven't already finished in reading yet..


don't you want to know more about Chinese? just read some literature about it..
have a nice adventure *_^
