FREE 100 SMS IN A DAY

Short Message Service is the text communication service component of phone, web or mobile communication systems. We usually shorten the words that we want to send.The charge for one message is different from two messages. So, the shorter words we send, the cheaper we will be charged.

How many messages do you send to other persons in a day? Are you able to send 100 messages in a day? Here, the cellular operator companies compete to offer the best service for their customers. They want to persuade the people to use their card by giving free SMS in a day. They give ‘Free 100 SMS in a day’.

Sending SMS

I was questioned, how did they spend the 100 SMS in a day? I think my fingers will be twisted to type 100 messages in a day. My friends spend these free messages to send others wise words and humours. Some of messages they send me are :

Receipes for a bowl of success in life :

Put a spoon of love, add a spoon of passion + a spoon of effort + a spoon of patience + a spoon of knowledges + a spoon of happiness. And, don’t forget to put a spoon of prayer. Stir well. Then, you are ready to enjoy A bowl of success in life.

Lord is the one who makes us :

ABLE to smile even when we are crying

ABLE to stand when we want to give up

ABLE to pray when we run out of words to say

ABLE to love when our heart break many times

ABLE to understand although we don’t get want we want.

Happy Sunday…..

Smile makes you more beautiful

Pray makes you stronger

Give makes you richer

Love makes your heart peacefull

Good night…

Beside the wise words and humour messages, I also received threatened messages from unknown person.In the end of the messages, written : “send this message to 10 persons. If you don’t send this message, the bad thing will befall on you in three days!” I never obey this kind of messages.

My friend and I also received the same messages from unknown person. It says “Congratulation! You are the lucky person to win Mercedes Benz. For more info, please contact 0812xxxxx” I ignore this message but my friend reply this message by saying

“Thank you, but my garage is full now. I have many cars because I am a rich person. So, you had better take the car for you. I already have the Mercedez Benz .I don’t need it!”

Actually, she doesn’t have a car.

Some people spend the messages to motivate others by sending wise words.Whereas other use it only to fool and frighten others. Let’s use the good opportunity to the good thing.

BEAUTY, BRAIN, BEHAVIOUR OR BEHAVIOUR, BRAIN, BEAUTY.

One of the outstanding beauty contest in this world is Miss Universe. It needs three criterias that is 3B : Beauty, Brain and Behavior. More than 50 women from more than 50 countries join this contest, including a woman from Indonesia.

In Indonesia, this contest always become controversial among the people who pro and contra. Most of Muslim in Indonesia doesn’t allow Indonesia send one of the Indonesian woman to compete in this contest. They do demonstration, they don’t agree with the swimsuit contest. They say it is against of their religion and against of our culture. They say there are still many ways to promote Indonesia to the whole world instead of joining this contest.

Miss Universe 2009

Last year, i watch this contest on TV. There was a judges who asked one of the top 5 women ; she asked “what is your comment if there’s a country in this world which doesn’t allow their contestant to wear swimsuit in this contest?” then the woman answer “ I disagree with that prohibition because you are beautiful and show your beauty to the whole world.” That’s only a little information. But, i am not interested to talk about swimsuit.
I am interested to these three criteria. Women, we don’t have to be a Miss Universe to have these criteria! Whoever we are, we can have these criteria(beauty,brain,behavior) in ourselves.Because of this is a beauty contest,so it’s ok if the first criteria is beauty. But honestly, in our life the 3B formation should be changed become behavior, brain and beauty.
The most important thing that a woman should have is a good behavior/manner. Beauty without a good behavior/manner is nothing. Yes, it’s normal if the first thing that we see from a woman is her beauty physicaly. But then , we will be disappointed if she doesn’t have a good behavior/manner when we get closer or have a friendship with her.
The second is Brain. It’s better if a woman is a genious. But, it’s not a must. It’s enough if a woman has wide knowledges and want to learn something to make her brighter.
The last is Beauty. If we have a good behavior + brain = the beauty will appear itself in ourselves.

EVERYDAY IS A REVISION

I visited a library and i found two books. I was holding two books in my hand. One was in my right hand and another one was in my left hand. Both of them have the same cover. But then, I noticed something different between them. I read the word ‘Revision Edition’ on the book in my right hand which I didn’t see on the book in my left hand.

I was interested to these two books so I took a seat and read them. The content of the two books are almost same. There are only several parts which I found in Revision book but I didn’t find in old book.

After publishing a book, some writers still doing research. During his research, he finds new things which should be added to his old book or something should be omitted or substituted from his old book.Book is one of source information. But, book itself need a revision. We also do revision everyday. Perhaps there are things that should be added to ourselves, or there are things that should be omitted or substitutes from ourselves.

Writing the revision

All my writings also need a revision. Thank you for the corrections. I confess sometimes I am careless.The careless behavior should be omitted (I hope). Nobody is perfect. We all have weakness, but by doing research, we will know our weakness and try to decrease it even omit it from ourselves.

THE PRAYER OF A LITTLE GIRL

All the national school in Indonesia have religion subject. Even, when you go to college or university, religion subject always exist for all majorities. Religion subject is a MUST subject to be learned at school until university here. If you are christian, you go to christian class. If you are Muslim, you go to Islam class and so on.

There was a little girl, aged about 7 years old. She was in primary school. Before the class started, one of the students had to come to the front of the class and lead the prayer.

“Rita, you lead our prayer now!” ordered the teacher.

Then, the little girl came to the front of class cheerfully and stood in front of all the students. “Let’s pray,” she said. The teacher and all the students closed their eyes.

“Dear Lord. We thank you for your blessing and we thank you for all the foods in front of us. We are going to eat, please be blessed all these foods. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.”

Praying

When this little girl open her eyes, she saw some of her friends smiling. The teacher began to asked this girl, “Dear Rita, do you see some foods here?”

“No, Mam,”answered the girl innocently.

“And, are we going to eat now?” asked the teacher again. “No, Mam.”

“So, why did you pray like that? It’s a prayer when you are going to eat. Now, we are going to study not eating,” explained the teacher.

“That’s the only prayer that I know, Mam. My father always pray like that when we are going to have dinner,” said the girl.

“Tomorrow, you have to lead the prayer again and change your pray!” said the teacher.

This little girl is my aunt’s neighbour. When I heard this story, I smiled because I did the same thing. But, the difference is I memorized my teacher prayer and pray it at home in front of my grandmother and my older sister. Of course, they smiled after I said Amen.

The prayer of this little girl is not fit to the condition, but she come cheerfully to the front class to lead the prayer. I believe Our Father accept her prayer because we know the first thing which God see when we come to Him is our heart not our sweet nice prayer.

THE MATURITY IN ONESELF

People say love can't be bought by money.There is other things which can’t be bought by money, that is maturity. We only can buy maturity by experiences in life. Both good and bad experiences influence the maturity in oneself. We will be mature persons If we react positively to any conditions.

Mature person

I ever met a young lady. She is so mature. I was amazed by her. She was able to think positively when she was facing good and bad conditions . At first, I thought she was as old as me. But, I couldn’t believe when I knew she was 19 years old. She is a supervisor of education in a school. Great young lady!

The maturity in everyone is different. It’s not only depend on the age. There are some people who are mature in early age. In the other hand, there are some people who still immature even though the age increased every year. There is a sentence says “If you want to see the maturity in oneself, see when she /he is facing a problem. If they can think positively when facing the problem, it means they are mature persons.”

HOW THE HOROSCOPES INFLUENCE YOU

“Use it as your guidance along this week.” This is a statement written on zodiac/horoscope column in an International woman magazine. Many magazines never fail to publish about horoscopes especially in woman magazines(local/international woman magazines).

Do many people still believe in horoscopes?

“I read horoscopes only for fun/pleasure. If my zodiac tells me the good things, I will believe it but if it doesn’t, I will not believe it,” said one of my friend.

“Sometimes what the zodiac says is right but sometimes no,” said another friend of mine.

Whether it is for pleasure/fun, as long as the horoscopes column still exists, it means there are still many people believe it.

CHOICES IN LIFE

When I was at school, I hated going to school. I was bored to study all the subjects. I only like Composition subject and singing/music subject. And, I wished I could say goodbye to the other subjects but I couldn’t. I forced myself to study and going to school because I didn’t want to disapoint my parents.

Although I didn’t like school but I wanted to get good marks in all subjects. I studied every night, even though I didn’t like the subjects.

One day, we had examination. I had studied the subject the night before the exam. When I was doing the exam(essay test), I answered all the questions well except a question, that is number 2. I was thinking hard about the answer then suddenly a boy who sat in front of me turn around towards me and said “Nova, I have the book in my drawer(most of school table here has drawer).Please, let me know in what page is the answer for number 5?”

Feel difficult to answer the question

“OK, open your book!” i said. Then my friend open page by page.

“STOP!!! I got it !” i said. I began to write the answer.

“Is it the answer for number 5?” asked my friend.

“No, it’s for number 2!” I said while copying the answer.

My friend was so confused. He said impatiently “ Hey, I asked you the answer for number 5?”

“Wait ! I will let you know after I finished it! Then, after I finished, I showed the page for the answer number 5 to my friend. He asked again “Nov, where’s the answer? Should I write all the paragraphs in this page?”

“Oh.. My … God ! You never read your book at home??? The answer is in the third paragraph !” He laughed and say ‘thank you’ to me. Fortunately, my teacher didn’t know about our disscussion. Did I get a good mark? Yes, I got A mark BUT I WAS NOT SATTISFIED BECAUSE I CHEATED ONE OF THE ANSWERS!!!

Actually, when my friend said that he had a book, at that time, God gave me two choices ; I kept on doing the straigt thing or I was tempted to cheat. Because I only focused to my problem(answer for no.2) so I accepted the shortcut to cheat. If I had not cheated, I would have been satisfied with my marks(B mark).

Life is full of choices. When we have problem in our life, we are doing examination in life! Choices always come but if we only focused on our problem(how to make it finish as soon as possible), we will take the wrong choice; as the result is unsatisfaction or regret. So, it’s better to stay focused to the right thing.
