| My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying.

Kiriman email dari seorang teman dan beberapa percakapan dalam sebuah milis...
The photo in the mail is the Pulitzer Prize winning photo taken in 1994 during the sudan famine. The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards a united nations food camp, located a kilometer away. The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken. Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.
He said : Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests. I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted. Please don't break.. keep on forwarding to our friends On this good day. Let's make a prayer for the suffering in anywhere anyplace around the globe and send this friendly reminder to others "Think & look at this... when you complain about your food and the food we wasted daily........ --------------------- > Bagaimana Nasib Sang Bocah......>> Ada cerita yang belum lengkap dibalik tragedi terpilihnya foto Kevin Carter ini sebagai pemenang "Pulitzer" (setara dengan WorldPress Photo, namun hanya khusus untuk wartawan Amrik saja ) .Setelahfoto ini dipublikasikan, memang timbul kegoncangan di tengah masyarakat "Bagaimana mungkin sang fotografer dengan tangan dingin tega memotret dan tidak melakukan apa-apa(?)sementara sang bocah sekarat menunggu di santap si burung Condor (opo burung Nazar,Pung?)??!!" .Hingga sekelompok wartawan senior (Dewan Pers-nyasanalah) berinisiatif membentuk Pansus, yang segera melakukan investigasi untuk mencari tahu bagaimana nasib sang bocah di foto tsb. Setelah melakukan serangkaian penyelidikan, pansus ini akhirnya menemukan bukti bahwa sang bocah telah sampai dengan ...SELAMAT ditempat penampungan. Akhirnya foto ini memang mendapat ganjaran "Pulitzer" untuk kategori Foto Berita.Dan memang....Sang Fotografer bunuh diri tak lama setelah itu. --------------------- bagaimana nasib sang bocah??..ternyata nggak sedikit yg bernasib seperti bocah tersebut..i myself recommend you guys to watch this movie..BEYOND BORDERS.. this movie was one of the best i've seen, the scenes in the movie are so dramatic and real, they make you say "wow, do i got life good?" the people and places show up on your screen it's like they are speaking to you and saying "see how hard it is!" it makes you never want to waste food or throw away your dinner.. angelina jolie n clive owen plays their role great! their worries and pains in the movie have a realistic expression upon them, it's not about cheesy crying and fake tears! it's real pain! the people in the places they travel to like cambodia and africa show how lucky others really are! how difficult they have it! people dying and so starved they can't eat..
PILKADA...?? Minggu siang, secara tidak sengaja ikut menyimak muhasabahnya AA GYM yang di istiqlal. Sebagai bagian dari dakwah, tanggung jawab, kepedulian terhadap bangsa, dan demi kemaslahatan umat (demikian kira2 saya mencoba menterjemahkan), yang bersangkutan mencoba menegaskan berulang2 kepada pendengarnya untuk tidak memilih pilkada (mestinya kada aja kali ya..) yang punya ciri2 T-E-N-G-I-L kepanjangan dari Takabbur, Egois, Norak, Galak, hhmmm..I sama Lnya apa ya (hehe, lupa..sapa yang bisa bantu ayoo..). Menarik, mengingat momennya memang pas deket pilkada..
*** Keteladanan, mungkin satu kata yang cukup sederhana ini sangat susah kita temukan. Belakangan, jelang pilkada ini harapan banyak orang tentunya akan lahir kada (baca : kepala daerah) yang bener2 'merakyat' trus 'baru' dan bukannya cuman ganti periodenya aja..hehe, SUKSES DEH PILKADA !! *** eh, ada lagi yang menarik..belakangan juga lagi rame2nya kongres partai gede PDI P yang keukeh mempertahankan ibunya dan akhirnya menyisakan apa yang banyak dilansir koran sebagai gerakan pembaharuan..entah dari apa?? trus PAN yang baru kemaren punya ketua baru yang konon katanya seorang pengusaha tapi nggak populer, ntar lagi PKB partainya politisi sarungan yang gagah dengan slogan 'maju tak gentar membela yang benar'..blablabla, *** dan saya dapat sms sama fax yang isinya permohonan (atau perintah kali ya..) untuk menyebarluaskan info dengan judul pertanggungjawaban publik si-xxx (anggota dewan pusat), disebuah hotel mewah..ya meski yang punya gawe senior saya dalam hati saya bertanya "gak salah alamat nih?" "kalo memang judulnya pertanggung jawaban kok tempatnya di hotel? dah gitu dijakarta pula? napa gak di daerah (kampung) pemilihan dia aja? konstituen yang dulu banyak dijanjiin ini & itu..." tanda tanya besar..kok ya ada2 saja,
sebenernya tadi mau posting soal makin panasnya hubungan jepang, china, korsel..eh begitu klik publish post tunggu punya tunggu kok error, saya coba klik back..eh lha kok ilang, di forward juga dah nggak bisa..mau ngetik lagi..waaah..gimana bisa nulis lagi wong dongkolnya setengah mati..lesu deh!
