My Name is Soegianto

“Tujuh dosa besar“, versi Mahatma Gandhi:

1. Kekayaan tanpa kerja (wealth w/o work)

2. Kesenangan tanpa kesadaran (pleasure w/o conscience)

3. Pengetahuan tanpa karakter (knowledge w/o character)

4. Perdagangan tanpa moralitas (commerce w/o morality)

5. Ilmu tanpa kemanusiaan (science w/o humanity)

Tulis, Evaluasi, Kejar

Tidak terasa sudah hampir 3 tahun semenjak pada tanggal 27 Desember 2007 saya menulis mengenai impian saya.

Awal mula dari blog ini lahir ketika saya membagi pergumulan saya dan mimpi-mimpi saya dengan kakak tercinta, Respons beliau sangatlah luar biasa. Berikut adalah respons beliau :

1. Yang pertama dia membagikan perjuangan dia dalam merintis sebuah website kimia untuk mengisi kekosongan materi pembelajaran kimia berbahasa Indonesia di Indonesia,
2. Yang kedua dia menginvestasikan dana dalam blog soegianto.net,
3. Yang ketiga dia menantang saya untuk menuliskan ide-ide saya dan membagikan kepada pembaca yang memiliki kesamaan visi

Mari menari bersama saya

Ketika saya membaca sebuah artikel saya merasakan kebenaran  di dalam kalimat berikut :

“ Tuliskan visi Anda. Jika anda pernah memikirkan visi Anda namun tidak pernah menuliskannya, luangkanlah waktu untuk menuliskannya hari ini. Menulis akan memperjelas pemikiran Anda. Begitu Anda menulisnya, evaluasilah apakah visi tersebut layak. Lalu kejarlah dengan seluruh kemampuan Anda”

Tulis

Dan inilah awal saya menuliskan mimpi saya didalam blog saya.  Saya kutip disini yah :

“Penulis juga memiliki segudang ide dikepalanya yang ingin diwujudkannya, diantaranya adalah membangun sebuah industri rumah tangga skala kecil dimana melibatkan ibu rumah tangga sebagai pelakunya dengan menggunakan 1 atau 2 jam dalam kesehariannya untuk menghasilkan produk yang akan digunakannya untuk membelikan susu kepada anak-anaknya, membangun sebuah dana beasiswa yang tidak ditujukan kepada orang-orang yang memiliki kemampuan secara daya otak melainkan cukup kepada orang-orang yang memiliki kemauan untuk belajar (well, kalo kemampuan daya otak menjadi ukuran saja maka tidak akan ada Thomas Alfa Edison yang ditendang dari sekolahan karena dianggap bodoh). Dan juga beberapa ide lainnya yang menyoroti kepada kehidupan masyarakat kecil.”

kalau mau dijadikan 3 bagian besar maka ide-ide yang menari-menari di pikiran sang penulis itu mencakup :

• peran sosial
• peran pendidikan
• peran ekonomi (continue reading…)

Three Hymns

One Sunday a pastor told his congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the
people to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the
most would be able to pick out three hymns.

After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a
$1,000 bill in offering. He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation and
said he’d like to personally thank the person who placed the money in the plate. (continue reading…)

I love the melody and the voice of Hoobstank, I don’t understand the lyric but I might sing this song 2 year ago. Just put it here! And share with you

“The Reason”

I’m not a perfect person
There’s many things I wish I didn’t do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I’ve found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

Starting this Jun, I decide to join with deogracias choir in gepembri in responspe for bu margareth invitation. And for your information, I am not good at understanding melody, one of my lack is my disability of my right ear to hear at low sound (based on checking in THT RSCM few years ago). But singing this song which written by Blind composer Fanny J Crosby, give me a joy of praising Lord for His Salvation given unto us, even in our lackness we still can praise Him!

So I sing this song in the morning on the way to office, training myself to understand the melody and the lyric. Try to overcome my gap by training more often, thus I can praise Him together with deogracias. Soli deo gracias!

Here is some article from wikipedia the background of this song. Happy reading!

“Blessed Assurance” is a well-known Christian hymn. The lyrics were written in 1873 by blind hymn writer Fanny J. Crosby to the music written in 1873 by Phoebe P. Knapp.

Recently I do enjoy a devotion broadcast by my shepherd, which I think it’s too abundant to be kept for myself.

Have a read!

Deuteronomy 1:1,2

“The Israelites spent 40 years on a journey that should have lasted 11 days.
It wasn’t distance that stood between them and the promised land. It was the condition of their hearts.

God’s purpose went deeper than simply transporting a huge group of people to a new land. He was preparing them to live in obedience to Him once they arrived.
What good was the promised land if the Israelites were just as wicked as the nations already living there?

The journey was a painful but necessary part of their preparation.
Through it God taught the Israelites who He was: The Living God, the Leader of their nation.
He also taught them who they were:
People who were fallen, sinful, prone to rebellion & doubt.
He gave His rebellious people the law to help them understand to relate to God and to other people.

Your spiritual pilgrimage may be lengthy, and you may face pain, discouragement, and difficulties.
But remember that God isn’t just trying to keep you alive.

He wants to prepare you to live for service and devotion to Him.”

Seseorang pernah mengirimkan kepada saya artikel ini tanggal 25 Sep 2008…. membacanya lagi membuat teringat masa-masa pergumulan saya… thanks

———–
kenapa kita menutup mata ketika kita tidur?
ketika kita menangis?
ketika kita membayangkan?
itu karena hal terindah di dunia tdk terlihat

ketika kita menemukan seseorang yang
keunikannya sejalan dengan kita, kita bergabung
dengannya dan jatuh ke dalam suatu keanehan
serupa yang dinamakan cinta.

Ada hal2 yang tidak ingin kita lepaskan,
seseorang yang tidak ingin kita tinggalkan,
tapi melepaskan bukan akhir dari dunia,
melainkan suatu awal kehidupan baru,
kebahagiaan ada untuk mereka yang tersakiti,
mereka yang telah dan tengah mencari dan
mereka yang telah mencoba.

Numbers 20:1-5

“It had been 37 years since Israel’s first spy mission into the promised land & 40 years since the exodus from Egypt. The Bible is virtually silent about those 37 years of aimless wandering. The generation of those who had lived in Egypt had almost died off, and the new generation would soon be ready to enter the land.

After 37 years in the desert, the Israelites forgot that their wanderings were a result of their parents’ & their own sin.
They could not accept the fact that they brought their problems upon themselves, so they blamed Moses for their condition.

Often our troubles result from our own disobedience or lack of faith. We cannot blame God for our sins.

Until we face this reality, we will have little peace & no spiritual growth.”
