A Rich Merchant & His Four Wives

Once upon a time. There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her & gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He’s very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in fear that she might run away with some other men.

He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient & in fact is the merchant’s confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.

Now, the merchant’s 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the 1st wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, “Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I’ll be alone.

Howlonely I’ll be!” Thus, he asked the 4th wife, “I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?” “No way!” replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word. Answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant’s heart.

The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, “I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company.” “No!” replied the 3rd wife. “Life is so good over here! I’m going to remarry when you die!” The merchant’s heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, “I always turned to you for help and you’ve always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?” “I’m sorry, I can’t help you out this time!” replied the 2nd wife.” “At the very most, I can only send you to your grave.” Answer came like a bolt of thunder & merchant was devastated.

Then a voice called out: “I’ll leave with you. I’ll follow you no matter where you go.” The merchant looked up and there was his 1st wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, “I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!”

Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it’ll leave us when we die. Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we’re alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material wealth & sensual pleasure.
Moral:

Guess what? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it’s a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we’re on our death bed to lament.

No matter what good or bad you have, wake up each day thankful for your life by saying Alhamdulilah. Someone somewhere else is fighting to survive.

Ustadz dan Santrinya..

Seorang Ustadz berkumpul dengan santrinya, kemudian beliau mengajukan 6 pertanyaan :

pertanyaan 1: APA YANG PALING DEKAT dengan diri kita di dunia ini?
Santri ada yang menjawab: “Orang tua, sahabat, teman, kerabatnya.
Jawab Ustadz : Yang paling dekat dengan kita adalah “Kematian”. Sebab kematian adalah PASTI adanya dan setiap detik bisa terjadi.

Pertanyaan 2: APA YANG PALING JAUH dari diri kita di dunia ini? 
Santri ada yang menjawab: ”Negara Cina, Bulan, Matahari.
Jawab Ustadz: Yang paling benar adalah “Masa lalu”. Siapapun kita, bagaimanapun kita dan betapa kayanya kita, tetap kita TIDAK bisa kembali ke masa lalu.  Sebab itu kita harus menjaga hari ini dan hari-hari yang akan datang.

Pertanyaan 3: APA YANG PALING BESAR di dunia ini?
Santrinya ada yang menjawab: “Gunung, Bumi, Matahari.
Jawab Ustadz: Yang paling besar dari yang ada di dunia ini adalah “Napsu”, banyak manusia menjadi celaka karena menuruti hawa napsunya.  Segala cara dihalalkan demi mewujudkan impian Napsu duniawi karena itu kita harus hati-hati dengan hawa napsu tersebut.

Pertanyaan 4: APA YANG PALING BERAT di dunia ini?
Diantara santrinya ada yang menjawab:  “Baja, Besi, Gajah.
Jawab Ustadz : Yang paling berat adalah “Berjanji”  Hal yang paling gampang diucapkan tapi sulit dilakukan.

Pertanyaan 5: APA YANG PALING RINGAN di dunia ini?
Ada yang menjawab : “Kapas, Angin, Debu, Daun.
Jawab Ustadz : Yang paling ringan di dunia ini adalah Meninggalkan Ibadah.”

Lalu pertanyaan 6: APAKAH YANG PALING TAJAM di dunia ini?
Santrinya menjawab dengan serentak: “Pedang…!!”.
Jawab Ustadz : Yang paling tajam adalah “lidah manusia”  karena melaui lidah, manusia dengan mudahnya memfitnah orang,  menyakiti hati, melukai perasaan orang, dll.

Dan terakhir pertanyaan bonus dari Ustadz tersebut: APAKAH YANG PALING GAMPANG di dunia ini?
Mereka menjawab asal:  “Makan, Tidur, Nongkrong, dll.

Jawab UStadz : “Broadcast pesan ini” cuma tinggal copy paste terus send all ke semua teman/saudara.  Maka akan jadi ilmu yang bermanfaat.

Selamat pagi teman-teman..
Selamat beraktivitas!
 Semangat! :)

Belajar dari Merpati

  1. Merpati adalah burung yang tidak pernah mendua hati. Coba perhatikan, apakah ada merpati yang suka berganti pasangan? Jawabannya adalah "tidak"! Pasangannya cukup 1 seumur hidupnya.
  2. Merpati adalah burung yang tahu kemana dia harus pulang. Betapapun merpati terbang jauh, dia tidak pernah tersesat untuk pulang. Pernahkah ada merpati yang pulang ke rumah lain? Jawabannya adalah "tidak"! 
  3. Merpati adalah burung yang romantis. Coba perhatikan ketika sang jantan bertalu-talu memberikan pujian, sementara sang betina tertunduk malu. Pernahkah kita melihat mereka saling mencaci? Jawabannya adalah "tidak"! 
  4. Burung merpati tahu bagaimana pentingnya bekerja sama. Coba perhatikan ketika mereka bekerja sama membuat sarang. Sang jantan dan betina saling silih berganti membawa ranting untuk sarang anak-anak mereka. Apabila sang betina mengerami, sang jantan berjaga di luar kandang. Dan apabila sang betina kelelahan, sang jantan gantian mengerami. Pernahkah kita melihat mereka saling melempar pekerjaannya? Jawabannya adalah "tidak"! 
  5. Merpati adalah burung yang tidak mempunyai empedu, ia tidak menyimpan "kepahitan" sehingga tidak menyimpan dendam.
"Jika seekor burung merpati bisa melakukan hal-hal di atas, mengapa manusia tidak bisa? Hidup itu indah jika kita saling mengerti, berbagi, dan menghargai!"

Ten Reasons To Never Give Up

1. As long as you are alive, anything is possible.
The only valid excuse you have to give up is if you are dead. As long as you are alive (and healthy and free) you have the choice to keep trying until you finally succeed.

2. Be realistic.
The chance of mastering something the first time you do it is almost non-existent. Everything takes time to learn and you will make mistakes. Learn from them.

3. You are strong.
You are stronger than you think. One little setback is not enough to stop you from achieving your goals. Neither are 10 or 100 or 1000 setbacks.

4. Prove yourself.
You don’t want to be known as someone that is weak and gives up. Go out there and prove yourself to the world and to yourself. You CAN and WILL achieve what you set out to do. The only time you fail is when you give up.

5. Believe in your dreams.
Don’t sell yourself short. In life there are going to be many people who will try to bring you down and tell you what you want to achieve is not possible.

6. Your family and friends.
Let the people you love and who mean the world to you be your inspiration to persist and persevere. Maybe you need to try a different angle, study more or practice more but don’t give up!

7. There are people worse-off.
Right now there are many people who are in a worse situation and environment than you are. Are you thinking about giving up running 5 miles a week? Think about the people who are unable to even walk and how much they would give to be able to run 5 miles every day.

8. You deserve to be happy.
Don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to have success. Keep that mindset and never give up until you reach your destination!

9. Inspire others.
Be an inspiration to others by refusing to give up. Who knows what someone else can achieve because you never gave up and in turn inspired them not to give up.

10. You are so close.
Often when you feel like you want to give up you are so close to making a huge breakthrough. You are just a heartbeat away from success.
