Finding Spirit in the Midst of Storm

M Iqbal Dawami,http://resensor.blogspot.com

A child complained to her father about her life and ask why life is so hard for her. He does not know how to deal with it and almost gave up. He was tired to fight. It seems every time one problem is completed, new problems arise. His father, a chef, took her to the kitchen.

He filled three pots with water and put it on fire. When the water in the pots came to boil, he placed carrots in the pan first, second and eggs in a pot of coffee powder in the pan last. He let it boil without saying a word. After 20 minutes, the father fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl, picked up eggs and put it in another bowl, and pour the coffee in a bowl. Then he asked his son, "What you see, son?" "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," replied the boy.

Her father brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. Her father then asked him to take an egg and break it. After removing the skin, he found a boiled egg is hardened. Finally, her father asked her to sip the coffee.He smiled when tasting coffee with a rich aroma. After that, the boy asked, "What does it mean, Father?"

He explained that each had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. Boiled carrots before a strong, hard and difficult to be broken. But after boiling, carrots become soft and tender. Egg had been fragile. Thin outer shell had protected its liquid.

But after the boiling water, its inside became hardened. Coffee powder changes to a unique experience. After they were in the boiling water, coffee powder to change the water. "Are you including which one?" asked his father. "When difficulties come to you, how did you cope? Would you like a carrot that seems hard, but with the existence of suffering and trouble, you give up, become soft and lose your strength? Would you like an egg, which was initially a malleable heart, but after the trial to be loud and stiff? Or are you like the coffee bean, when things get worse, you will become better and make things better around you as well? "

In life, true stories of many characters who type "Ground Coffee", ie when their circumstances are bad, just getting better and better and make things better around him as well. The figures were among them: Listiana Srisanti (translator of Harry Potter), Sindhunata, Jalaludin Rachmat, Hasari Pal, Ram Chander, Sipon Adisumarto, Saptono, Kevin Dwi Tetuka Nuringtyas, Doni, Mr. POND, Elvan Wenas, Joko Pinurbo, studies, Soegijo Pranoto Sartono Kartodirdjo, Karen Armstrong, Danah Zohar, and many more.

Calamities or trials are not always synonymous with misfortune, sorrow, futility and negative events. But it is possible that the events that bring a positive influence and pumping of life for human beings to reflect ourselves, and organize life into a better direction. Listiana Srisanti, the translator of Harry Potter, on August 21, 2004, for example, cancer stage IV and is estimated to stay 4-6 months rest of his life. Doctors have concluded that the disease could no longer be cured.

Once the miracle comes, lung cancer in Lis has disappeared. Even so he still must undergo chemotherapy several times. As a result, the disease was cured. However, a few years later, the cancer reappeared. Lis also resigned. He received all trials with a roomy chest, because it is something that should happen. "God will make everything beautiful in its time." Lis said firmly.Other figures are Dahlan Iskan, Founding Father of Java Pos. At before, during, and after liver transplant surgery at the Hospital of Tianjin, China, she instead reflect ria.Dahlan told much about the virtues that he dug from his life experiences. Dahlan also plans to establish a nonprofit agency whose job guerrilla pockets of poverty to find children not immunized. There are about 10 percent of Indonesia's population infected with hepatitis B, he said.

Life has meaning under any circumstances, including the suffering. Human beings have a will to live meaningful, which is the main motivation for living. We have the freedom to find meaning in life through what they are doing, what he lived, or at least the attitude we take on the situation and the suffering that can not be changed again. That is what was exhibited Patmini, Mbah Wir, and Mr. POND. Sumardianta mengisahkannya dramatically.

Every morning, Patmini leave the village and climbed the embankment Howrah Station to collect the scattered pieces of coal on the railway sleepers. Fractions that he patch at the bottom of her skirt. Half of the amount collected is used for lighting the stove to cook the family. The rest sold for additional income. All was done to relieve the economic burden his family.

Mbah Wir already forty-five years living in the rural market selling snacks Pakem, Sleman, Yogyakarta, do not give any privileges to him. He remained poor. His house is rickety. But he lived with sincerity and without complaining. Medium Pak Sukiman never ride the bus when I go home to his village. He pedaled becaknya until Delanggu, Klaten, Central Java. The journey taken for five hours because they have to downsize so that the children stay in school.

Our current civilization convinced many people to see suffering as a 'destiny' that can not be prevented and avoided. However, this book teaches us to see the positive value of suffering and provide an opportunity to feel proud of his suffering. One technique used in these figures are persuasive techniques, which take a more constructive attitude in the face of difficulties.

The story of "Coffee Powder" teaches us that a disaster or failure, which is like hot water, containing a positive lesson for humans as a means to measure our strength in the face. This is where the quality of self will be seen whether he has the mental as well as a strong heart in their daily lives or not. Hasan Al-Basri, Sufi Iraq, said, "Man is the same when equally endowed delicious, but when temptation came upon, then that will be visible differences." Therefore, if we are getting tough to face the disaster, the more berkualitaslah level ourselves, and vice versa if we become brittle in the face of disaster it indicates qualities that are so low.

The presence of human beings "Coffee Powder" is so important in times that are sensible hedonism this mercilessly. Its presence also has an earthy sense of inspiration to spark the spirit and evoke the spirit of pliers untukmenghidupkan weak.
