Dalam beberapa kesempatan, ane selalu katakan, sukses tak akan berarti kalau kita tidak bahagia. Bahagia di keluarga, bahagia di pekerjaan, bahagia di karier, adalah kepuasan yang tak akan bisa dibandingkan dengan perolehan materi atau sekadar “nama”.
Tapi sayang, banyak orang yang ngaku susah untuk bahagia. Masih banyak yang berpikir, bahagia harus kaya, harus punya “nama” , alias harus dikenal orang, dikenang orang, atau dihormati karena pencapaian tertentu. Padahal, bahagia itu menurut ane soal keputusan. Like what Aristotle said, happiness depends upon ourselves.
So, buat agan-agan yang mungkin masih bingung gimana caranya bahagia, ane sempat coba browsing beberapa penelitian soal kebahagiaan. Jadi, Agan bisa langsung praktekin ya…
1. Menghabiskan uang bersama orang lain akan memberi dampak lebih membahagiakan dibanding menghabiskannya sendirian. Penelitian ini ditulis di ScienceMag, dan merupakan hasil penelitian Elizabeth Dunn, Lara Atkin, dan Michael Norton terhadap 632 responden di Amerika. Bagi ane, ditraktir dan mentraktir itu emang menyenangkan. Apalagi, kalo udah ngumpul bareng teman. Itu barangkali esensi yang membuat kita bisa lebih happy.
2. Dengar dan jalankan nasihat orang yang lebih tua ternyata banyak benarnya. Dan, itu memberi dampak kebahagiaan bagi seseorang. Hal tersebut diungkap oleh seorang profesor dari Harvard, Daniel Gilbert. Nah! Ane dulu sebenarnya termasuk anak yang bandel. Malah, gak mau lanjutin kuliah karena memilih nyeriusin Kaskus bareng Andrew. Tapi sebenarnya, dari orangtua, ane banyak dapat bekal yang ujungnya, seperti kisah di buku #KendanKaskus, happy ending Jadi emang bener Gan. Dengerin nasihat orangtua, bakal bikin kita happy.
3. Kebahagiaan itu menular. Begitu juga dengan kesehatan. Jadi, carilah lingkungan yang mendukung kamu untuk selalu bahagia. Maka, dengan gampang kamu akan tertular untuk terus merasa bahagia. Ini penelitian Nicholas Christakis dari Harvard dan James Fowler dari UC San Diego. Inilah mengapa ane dan Mimin membuat suasana kantor dengan desain yang menyenangkan. Bukan latah ikutan kantor lain yang dibikin kayak tempat bermain, tapi emang tujuan ane bikin semua orang yang kumpul atau datang di Kaskus itu bisa selalu happy.
4. Bahagia jangka panjang bisa diperoleh bagi mereka yang mau “bertahan” untuk mendapat sesuatu. Istilahnya, no pain, no gain. Hal ini diungkap oleh Ryan Howell, peneliti dari San Francisco State University, yang dimuat di jurnal Happiness Studies. Jadi inget, gimana dulu ane dan Mimin harus pontang-panting ngejagain Kaskus saat kembali di Indonesia. Hampir aja putus asa. Tapi, kita nekad jalan terus. Akhirnya, setelah berjuang ke sana kemari, Kaskus berhasil jadi seperti sekarang. Dan betul, kalo inget masa perjuangan dulu, yang sekarang kita dapat itu bikin bahagia. Thanks a lot guys, for all your support.
5. Bernostalgia membuat seseorang lebih mudah bahagia. Ini karena nostalgia membuat seseorang merasa dirinya tidak sendirian. Hal itu diungkap di jurnal Psychological Science. Itulah mengapa, kalau kita reunian dengan teman lama, biasanya akan merasa lebih bahagia. Kalo ini jelas. Ketemu teman lama, apalagi saat ane reuni teman waktu kuliah di Seattle dulu, rasanya menyenangkan.
6. Olahraga 20 menit sehari, 3 kali seminggu, dalam enam bulan, dapat meningkatkan kebahagiaan seseorang sekitar 10-20%. Hal ini diungkap dalam sebuah artikel di HealthGuide UK. Jujur, ane ini termasuk cowok yang gak terlalu suka olahraga. Tapi, kalo ngeliat hasil penelitian ini, mungkin ane akan berpikir ulang untuk bisa menyisihkan sedikit waktu buat gerakin tubuh biar keringetan.
7. Menurut sebuah penelitian Harvard University pada orang-orang berusia 40-an, mereka yang lebih bahagia ternyata sejak kecil mendapat lebih banyak pelukan dan rangkulan. Jadi, yang ingin lebih bahagia, cobalah sering-sering berpelukan dengan orang yang kamu kasihi. This is why I love my family so much.
8. Berhenti membanding-bandingkan diri dengan orang lain. Hal ini merupakan salah satu cara mudah untuk membuat agan bahagia, seperti yang diungkap oleh Profesor Sonja Lyubomirsky, seorang peneliti dari University of California. Emang sih, kalau ngeliat ke atas, nggak bakal ada puasnya. Jadi, bagi ane, salah satu kunci biar selalu happy adalah mensyukuri setiap pencapaian yang kita dapat.

Mematahkan 11 Mitos Tentang Kebahagiaan
Beberapa hal – seperti cokelat, film drama, dan seprai bersih – hampir semuanya menjamin untuk meningkatkan suasana hati Anda. Namun ketika berbicara tentang mewujudkan kebahagiaan sejati, ada banyak kesalahpahaman yang terjadi.
Shawn Achor, penulis buku “Before Happiness: The 5 Hidden Keys to Achieving Success, Spreading Happiness, and Sustaining Positive Change”, mematahkan banyak mitos yang berkembang tentang menemukan kebahagiaan.
Mitos #1: Bahagia itu turunan
Benar bahwa beberapa orang dilahirkan cenderung lebih bahagia, tapi seperti kebanyakan hal, gen Anda menyumbang hanya setengah hal tersebut. “Anda harus mengajari diri Anda untuk bersikap lebih optimistis dan bahagia seperti ketika belajar sebuah bahasa baru,” ungkap Achor. “Anda hanya bisa bahagia jika Anda melakukan kebiasaan positif dalam hidup Anda.”
Mitos #2: Karier yang sukses membuat Anda lebih bahagia
Mendapatkan jabatan tinggi di kantor tidak menjamin kebahagiaan, kata Achor. “Anda bisa saja mengejar kesuksesan sepanjang hidup Anda, tapi kebahagiaan Anda tetap sama.” Penelitiannya menemukan bahwa, meskipun Anda bekerja untuk meningkatkan kebahagiaan Anda saat ini, kesuksesan pekerjaan Anda di masa depan juga akan meningkat. “Kebahagiaan sesungguhnya adalah bahan bakar untuk kesuksesan – bukan sebaliknya.”
Mitos#3: Kebahagiaan bergantung pada keadaan eksternal
Kebanyakan orang berpikir bahwa tidak mungkin bagi mereka untuk merasa bahagia sedangkan karier/hubungan/kehidupan sosial mereka sedang ada di titik rendah. “Kami menemukan bahwa hanya 10 persen dari kebahagiaan jangka panjang mereka terpengaruh dari dunia eksternal, sementara 90 persen didasarkan pada bagaimana otak Anda menjalani hidup,” kata Achor. Dan itu merupakan kabar baik karena, meski Anda tidak mampu mengubah keadaan, Anda bisa mengubah persepsi Anda tentang keadaan tersebut.
Mitos #4: Uang tidak bisa membeli kebahagiaan
Menurut penelitian, menghabiskan uang untuk mendapatkan pengalaman (seperti liburan) bukan hal-hal yang bersifat materi (seperti sepatu baru) dapat menciptakan kebahagiaan yang lebih besar, kata Achor. Dan penelitian lain mengatakan bahwa menghabiskannya dengan kegiatan dengan orang lain (seperti pergi bersama teman-teman, mendonasikannya untuk amal, atau membeli bunga untuk ibu Anda) secara signifikan dapat meningkatkan kebahagiaan Anda, kata Achor. Intinya: Habiskan uang Anda dengan cara yang bijaksana untuk mendapatkan manfaat terbaik.
Mitos #5: Orang yang bahagia itu bodoh atau naif
Optimisme yang irasional tentunya bukanlah hal yang ideal, namun jika Anda bahagia dan realistis, Anda akan mendapatkan keuntungan yang besar. Malah, ketika otak Anda bahagia maka itu akan meningkatkan kreativitas, tingkat kecerdasan dan kemampuan untuk menyelesaikan masalah, ujar Achor.
Mitos #6: Kebahagiaan tidak akan memengaruhi kinerja Anda
“Banyak orang berpikir bahwa kebahagiaan tidak ada kaitannya dengan kinerja,” ujar Achor. “Tapi ini adalah sebuah keuntungan yang luar biasa di sekolah, olahraga dan tempat kerja.” Butuh bukti? Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dokter yang merasa bahagia memiliki tingkat akurasi yang lebih tinggi, penjual yang lebih bahagia memiliki tingkat penjualan yang lebih tinggi, dan atlet yang bahagia dapat bangkit dari kekalahan lebih cepat, kata Anchor. “Otak manusia hanya bekerja lebih baik saat Anda dalam suasana hati yang positif.”
Mitos #7: Teman-teman Anda yang negatif hanya membuat Anda terpuruk
Meski benar bahwa Anda dapat terpengaruh oleh sudut pandang negatif teman-teman Anda, sisi positif Anda sendiri juga dapat menyebabkan mereka bahagia - jadi Anda tidak perlu mencampakkan mereka. Menurut Achor, positif dan negatif keduanya sama-sama menular, namun studi menunjukkan bahwa orang yang lebih ekspresif - baik secara verbal atau nonverbal – lebih membawa pengaruh. Jadi alih-alih meninggalkan teman Anda yang selalu negatif, mulailah percakapan yang positif dan riang saat menanggapi mereka. Anda juga bisa menggunakan jejaring sosial untuk menebarkan pikiran positif Anda.
Mitos #8: Stres menghancurkan kebahagiaan Anda
Studi menunjukkan bahwa stres sebenarnya dapat mempercepat proses kognitif, meningkatkan memori, dan memperdalam ikatan sosial. “Pola pikir Anda mengenai stres memperkirakan bagaimana stres itu akan memengaruhi Anda,” kata Anchor.
Sarannya: Berpikirlah tentang saat-saat ketika Anda berhasil menghadapi stres, catat hal tersebut dalam tulisan, dan tampilkan di tempat yang mudah dilihat sehingga Anda akan selalu diingatkan oleh catatan tersebut setiap hari. “Otak Anda akan mempraktikan apa yang dilihatnya, jadi semakin sering Anda melihatnya, semakin otak Anda dapat meredam stres,” kata Anchor.
Mitos #9: Olahraga hanya memberi Anda kesenangan sesaat
Anda tahu bahwa Anda dapat dengan cepat mendapatkan semangat setelah berolahraga, namun olahraga juga memiliki manfaat jangka panjang yang luar biasa. “Kami menemukan bahwa latihan kardio selama 30 menit yang dilakukan beberapa kali dalam sepekan selama enam bulan setara dengan mengonsumsi antidepresan namun menunjukkan tingkat kambuh yang lebih rendah,” kata Anchor. “Olahraga sangat ampuh karena itu adalah obat untuk pelarian. Anda akan mulai meyakini bahwa perilaku Anda pentign.”
Mitos #10: Kebahagiaan bukan berarti tidak pernah negatif
Anda tidak perlu memakai kacamata warna-warni lucu sepanjang hari untuk membuat Anda merasa bahagia. Malah, hal itu akan menjadi bumerang. “Jika Anda menyangkal tidak ada hal negatif yang Anda rasakan, itu akan membuat Anda lebih stres,” kata Anchor. Namun jika Anda bisa mengetahui alasan Anda merasa sedih dan cara untuk mengubahnya, Anda lebih baik daripada seseorang yang selalu merepresi emosi tersebut, kata Anchor.
Mitos #11: Kebahagiaan itu sekadar pola pikir
Ketika Anda jatuh dalam keterpurukan, Anda mungkin pernah disuruh untuk bangkit atau memutuskan untuk menjadi lebih bahagia. Namun menurut Anchor, tidak mudah semudah itu. “Kecuali Anda mengubah perilaku Anda, perubahan pola pikir itu tidak akan bertahan lama.”(dh/kn/ik)

Human muse
- Human beings should be proud to be a dynamic,
Who can do anything, given the freedom by God, not like angels and Satan is monotonous and can not choose
- Believe Satan is accursed,
Because they are true evil and their job was, but do not always blame them if you do wrong
- Lust is important,
Because without it there would be no life, no passion or motivation. Lust is not to be detained, but must be controlled and used proportionally.
- Lazy was indeed the nature of Satan,
Because he's only natural lazy, he's immortal and obvious finally going anywhere. if humans are lazy, that's weird, because they are short lived and they are also not bound to go.
- Humans are not consistent,
He said there is not a perfect man, but many also claim to being the most perfect ...
passable in like Satan than in the ignore Satan, because the person on ignore Satan surely he's a devil tempted again to cut down unnecessary

Mari Berzikir
Allah memerintahkan orang yang beriman untuk berzikir (mengingat dan menyebut nama Allah) sebanyak-banyaknya:
“Hai orang-orang yang beriman, berzikirlah (dengan menyebut nama) Allah, zikir yang sebanyak-banyaknya.” [QS Al Ahzab 33:41]
Tidak berzikir akan mengakibatkan seseorang jadi orang yang rugi.
“Hai orang-orang beriman, janganlah hartamu dan anak-anakmu melalaikan kamu dari mengingat Allah. Barangsiapa yang berbuat demikian maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang merugi.” [QS Al Munaafiquun 63:9]

New Ideas in Business
The problem of finding a new idea is to find where it is coming to them. When you are about 5 years old, 90% of you have lots of ideas, playing with fantasy games, and dream of doing the things that you do not know if it is not possible. At the age of 10 years, declined 2%. Not surprisingly, many of us who believe that we are not creative, we become accustomed to think logically so that the creativity of "what if?" have the opportunity given.

Conversely do not hate those hostile to our

Attitude does your boss dont like
Bosses feel less like you as an employee? Or the boss always finds the impression you are an employee who is less reliable? Banish the views of the boss by ensuring the following attitudes do not exist in yourself:
1. Reject the given task
The supervisor asks you to do a task beyond the daily responsibilities. The task requires time and effort, but you are not interested to do the work, so you reject the task. Be careful, if the reason you are not correct, the refusal could be a boomerang for you. It is not wise to build a reputation in the eyes of the boss as someone who is unreliable. As long as you still can accommodate the orders of the boss, and have time to do chores, go for it. Answer "no" from you convince the boss to stop offering the opportunity to grow and expand its responsibilities to you, including the tasks that interest you.
2. Too "spoiled"

2. Too "spoiled"
To be preferred employer
In the world of work, the authority to judge you are in the hands of a boss. To get a good value, then the first step that must be done is to know beforehand what points the boss of your self assessment. And also, how much value should you get to bring your career to a strategic position.
Here are 5 assessment of your boss, who can become the handle for your career journey smooth.
1. Ability and willingness to learn
You will be judged whether you are considered a person who has the ability and willingness to learn and absorb new things. Including, if you are quick to follow any changes that occur and are open to something new.
2. Commitment to job
The assessment of the commitment to work is your loyalty to the job and company, as well as encouragement to succeed. Included in this commitment is the responsibility of the task that you waistband. People who are quite satisfied with what is, by people who have a strong desire to go forward, would be assessed differently.
3. Proactive attitude
Proaktivitas is needed in the work. You will get more value, if you are always proactive and independent. Do not be waiting for, a new move when superiors ordered. Berinisiatiflah! You have to be responsive in detecting a problem, then quickly provide a solution.
4. Interpersonal skills
Assessed, how far you can put yourself in the work environment, and how you communicate with others. How to approach your boss, subordinates, colleagues and others also became the assessment.
5. Appearance
Actually, the appearance depends also on your work area. You do not need to appear excessive, it is important you look neat and located in the corridor code of ethics that fit. Generally, employers would rather see people who look tidy.
