Patience is golden

Patience is determination and perseverance. When we have tried our best but we failed, we have to be patient. We have to stay put and keep struggling with all that we have.

Patience is mental ability to control our attitude in order to avoid us from irrational and disadvantageous actions. Without patience, we will be easily trapped in a negative communication and have difficulty in having a good relationship.

Patience is ability to accept bitter facts in life. No matter what happens in our life, we should thank God. With all advancement in technology, humans try to anticipate failures, dangers or disasters but as a matter of fact, we cannot get hold of all aspects in life. There is "X" area which is totally beyond human control. It is the God's area with all its mystery.

Be careful when riding your motorbike in the rain.

Lately rain has poured down anywhere and anytime as it is now still the rainy season. People have already got used to it. They have to bring umbrellas or raincoats before they go out to work or to school. For those who ride motorbike, they have to be extra careful on the roads as the roads are very slippery. There were some accidents I witnessed when I rode my motorbike a few days ago.

A few days ago, when I was on my way to my English private student, I witnessed three motorbike accidents. The first one was on Jl. TB Simatupang, not far from Ps. Rebo intersection. At that time, a motorbike rider tried to change direction by taking a U-turn. Unlucky for him, he couldn't control his motorbike because the road was very slippery. His motorbike swerved and he fell down, but luckily he was safe and sound. There were no serious injuries, except a few scratches on his motorbike. Not long after, about 500 hundred meters from the first accident, I saw another accident. This time, both the motorbike and the rider swerved on the road as he tried to accelerate the speed. The rider quickly got up and some people tried to help him. Then the last accident happened on the same day when I was on my way home after teaching. A motorbike rider was screaming after falling from his motorbike while his motor bike lied not far from him. He looked really angry because a car had hit his motorbike from the back.

So, guys...be careful when you ride your motorbike in the rain because the roads become so slippery which makes it hard for you to control your motorbike.

SEO: Why are you so complicated?

Recently, I have been busy browsing the internet and scratching every page of books about internet. What for? There is only one correct answer, that is "Learning about SEO". I guess many bloggers are quite familiar with this term which stands for Search Engine Optimization. But for me, a newbie in the internet marketing business, this term is like an alien from outer space, strange and scary. Well... Let me tell you what I had to do to find out more about SEO.

First, I had to go to book stores almost everyday only to get any information about it. I looked up the rows of book shelves. When I saw a book related to it, I quickly opened it and read it. I didn't want to lose any single piece of information about it. I kept reading and reading until I understood the complicated codes of HTML, special codes in computer programming.

Next, I had to browse the internet almost every night for the same reason: to get any information about it. As soon as I got home from my job, I quickly turned on my computer and started googling any keywords and browsing websites that had something to do with it. Then, I made some important notes that I could learn later.

So, I feel that learning SEO is really brain-draining and time-consuming, but at least, it is rewarding because it has broadened my horizon. However, after I have learned the ropes of SEO, I still keep asking to myself "SEO: Why are you so complicated?"...

Heavy Rain : More Problems for People.

Rainy season is coming. It is now January which means rain is in its highest level. Everyday we can see people bringing umbrellas, wearing jackets or raincoats as rain may pour down anytime and anywhere. Actually that is not the only phenomenon that we see during the rainy season. There are some more serious problems concerning with heavy rain in rainy season.

First is flood. We are quite familiar with this condition when rainy season is coming. The city is inundated all over the place, starting from the slum areas by the river banks till the luxurious housing complexes. People suddenly become very busy moving their electronic equipment and evacuating their families. Employees cannot go to work and students cannot go to school because the streets, small ones or main ones like Jalan Sudirman or Thamrin, are inundated. It is quite ironic that this annual disaster always happens again and again without any proper solutions.

Second problem is many kinds of diseases. As we know that during the rainy season, the weather is pretty bad. The temperature drops and it forces our body to adjust with it. Our immune system works harder to protect our body from bacteria or viruses. If our body is not fit enough, then we can suffer from various diseases such as common cold, cough, sore throat and many others. Therefore, it is suggested that we take good care of our health by consuming vitamins or food supplement to maintain our immune system.

All in all, it is obvious that heavy rain in the rainy season can create more problems for people. The problems mentioned are flood and many kinds of diseases. Now we have to do our best to minimize or avoid ourselves from its bad effects.
