PEREMPUAN DAN KARAKTER



Karakter merupakan ciri-ciri mental yang digabungkan dengan etika yang menandai seseorang, kelompok, masyarakat bahkan Negara. Karakter sering juga terlihat sebagai keunggulan dan keteguhan moral. Apapun definisi karakter, tentunya kita perlu menciptakan, dan mendefinisikan karakter yang tepat bagi diri kita sendiri.

Seorang bijak pernah berkata:
Tanamlah pikiran, Anda akan menuai tindakan;
Tanamlah tindakan, Anda akan menuai kebiasaan;
Tanamlah kebiasaan, Anda akan menanam karakter;
Tanamlah karakter, Anda akan menuai takdir.

Perempuan dapat menciptakan, membangun dan mendefinisakan karakternya sendiri dari apapun yang ia pikirkan namun pikiran yang baik tentu akan menuai kebaikan. Berikut ini adalah inspirasi yang berhubungan dengan karakter dari para Perempuan hebat di dunia.

Bersikap baik hati tidak pernah boleh disamakan dengan bersikap lemah. Itu bukanlah pertanda kelemahan, melainkan isyarat sopan santun, tata karma, sikap, hormat, kemampuan seorang wanita untuk membuat setiap orang merasa seperti di rumah sendiri, dan tak pernah boleh ditafsirkan sebagai kelemahan”
-Benazir Bhutto-

“Meningkatnya sejarah suatu Negara, dalam jangka panjang adalah berkat  keteguhan hati rakyatnya, baik laki-laki maupun wanita.”
-Queen Elizabeth II-

Kadang-kadang  orang mengatakan hal-hal yang jahat dan tidak bijaksana, dan ketika mereka melakukan itu, yang terbaik adalah sedikit menutup telinga, berhenti menyimak, dan bukannya balas membentak dalam kemarahan atau ketidaksabaran.”
-Ruth Bader Ginsburg-

Kita bertanya-tanya mengapa halangan yang sangat besar harus diletakkan pada jalan kita. Mau tidak mau kadang-kadang kita bertanya-taya mengapa bukannya lancar, pelayaran kita selalu dipaksa untuk menentang angin serta amukan gelombang. Jelas alasannya bahwa karakter tidak dapat berkembang di dalam situasi yang mudah dan tenang. Hanya dalam pengalaman-pengalaman yang penuh percobaan dan penderitaanlah jiwa dapat diperkuat, Visi dapat diperjelas, ambisi dapat diinspirasikan dan sukses dapat dicapai.”
-Helle Keller-

Manusia bagaikan jendela kaca patri. Mereka berkilauan dan bercahaya ketika matahari bersinar namun pada saat kegelapan turun, kecantikan mereka yang sebenarya hanya terungkap jika ada cahaya dari dalam.”
-Elisabeth Kubler Ross-

Karakteristik seorang wanita hebat masih ditemukan dalam empat hal : ketulusan, kesederhanaan, simpati, dan ketenangan.”
-Emily Post-


Kata-kata memberi inspirasi dalam pikiran kita yang akan mengundang takdir kita kelak. Semoga beberapa kata-kata dari para Wanita hebat tersebut dapat menambah wacana karakter dalam pikiran, yang kemudian menjelma karakter dalam diri kita.


THE POWER OF FLOWERS AND COLOURS

Imagine a world without colours, only black and grey! Visualise  an earth without flowers only iron and concrete. Colours and flowers are therefore God’s special gift to mandkind. The prettiest and sweetest things are God-given  and free, or rather are things we cannot buy. The fresh air, the sunshine, the clouds silver lining, the rainbow, the gorgeous trees, an flowers and their  fragnance. The music of the birds, the romantic sunset,  the diamonds in the sky, the moonlight on the bay, and above all, life itself.

The garden and the landscape around in floras and colours. There must be a thousand different shades and tones of blue, red,  yellow , pink and green. Look at the red tulips and poppies, the stately dahlia, the yellow and joyous marigold, daffodils and sunflower, the pink geranium, and the purple lilacs. And see an orchids they are the biggest family of flowering plants. Then there are the queens of flowers, the roses. The blossoms of  romance, friendship, and dreams even the colours of roses have such meanings and feelings in our lives for example red roses convey love and respect, deep pink : appreciation, light pink: admiration or symphaty orange: enthusiasm, yellow: joy, pale blended tones: friendship! You can do many things with roses.

It is little wonder that flowers and colours have such impact on our minds and behavior. They can uplift our state of happiness to a degree few of us can pully evaluate. Take the common gesture of giving flowers. It brings a noble feeling to both the giver and receiver. If we can appreciate the power bessing and magic in flowers, we are closer to the road of happiness.


Besides flowers and plant life, everything in the world some form of coloration. Everything in our daily lives has colours and they affect us often without our knowing it. We must have the awareness of the power of colours. The colours buildings, houses,  signboards, shops, walls, furniture and anything you buy or give away, they all carry a strong message. In some situations, it can even determine succsess of failure, because certain colours just   do not suit a certain face person or business. The colours we wear can match or mismatch our complexion, personality and position, they affect everyone and can even bring luck as some people believe.

Why Are We On Earth?

Why are we here?
We are here because God created us, and he created us to be special among all His creation. He could have built a perfect paradise on Earth and programmed mankind to live peacefully and happily to the end of their lives. But, if that were the case, where would be the fun of living? So, because He loves Us, He lets the world carry on its own free will by giving us the freedom of choice. And when we finally discover and adore Him, He would feel great satisfaction because His special creation had on their own had joined Him out of love and free will.

At the onset here, I want you to see clearly and certainly, that you are here for a special reason: to love yourself, to love others, and to love God. You are here to bring success and happiness to yourself and your fellow men.  Someone once said, “The great purpose of life is to take something that will outlast us”. It would be very sad, if you lived like a cow or a sheep and just passed away, without beautifying and enriching yourself, society, and humanity. So let love and virtues be the focal point and integral part of your values ad your daily life. Let your love for your parents, brothers, and sisters be deep and unconditional  : then you will greatly enjoy and treasure their company, you will help them more and share the joy of building a wonderful home. If you really love God, you will do good.

Life is precious, and so are you! Make the most of life and yourself.  Enjoy and progress every minute of your day. Everyday always new,  Every time is beginning of your great lifetime. Let us ponder upon the words of great people, words that would enlighten you, and to launch you on your fabulous journey.
