The Meaning of Life


Teringat akan video kemarin siang yang baru diputarkan oleh salah satu dosen saya. Memang video ini bukanlah hangat-hangatnya video akhir-akhir ini, akan tetapi entah mengapa aku tidak pernah bosan menyimaknya. Ada apa gerangan? Mungkin hati ini telah tergoyahkan oleh salah satu video yang inspiring ini. Wis embuh lah rasanya ketika menonton, tiba-tiba hati ini pilu dan diri ini tersimpuh malu mengingat akan bertambahnya dosa yang kubuat setiap harinya.

Sempatkanlah 7 menit saja untuk menonton baik-baik video yang saya sebut-sebut dari tadi. Selamat menyimak, semoga bermanfaat.

Study Alone vs Study In A Group


Studying Alone or In A Group?



           Studying is a process of learning or activity to understand about something by reading, analyzing, memorizing and attending courses or school. Children, teenagers, and adults do studying regardless of age. Everyday they study from their life without exception. Moreover in Islamic Religion, as our Prophet said in Hadith “Tholabul ilmi faridhotun ‘ala kulli muslimin wal muslimat”. It means that learning is an obligatory for every men and women. Usually every people study by themselves or study with others, it has been a part of education in this world. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.
            Studying alone has many advantages, the person can choose their own method of studying. They can devide the right time and suitable places to do it. Besides, the person can have enormous privacy which they don’t get in a group. On the other hand, studying alone also has negative sides. Someone who are studying alone will get distructed easily, they will slip their concentration when they see something. In the case, when they face an examination and they did not learn it thoroughly. Of course, it will be difficult for them to remember what they have learned. Furthermore, studying alone will not solve our problem in a case because of we do not have any idea again at all.
            Studying in a group has some benefits as well. Besides we can get the problem solution, we can make a good teamwork and make a better chance of getting higher grades. For example, when a group got a big project and it will be devided into equal part. For instance, the group is consists of six people and each person will get one sixth (1/6) of the project. Probably one will be responsible in introduction, the other four for the body of the project, and the last person is conclusion. It will make a better teamwork. But, studying in a group also has disadvantages such as when in some cases, there is no teamwork in a group, some people rely anyone else or they depend on the work of their friend.
            To sum up, every study method has their own benefit and disadvantages. I prefer to study by my self. I usually study during the night because I will not get distracted by anything. It will be so quiet, I will not have a chance of losing my concentration and I can understand quickly about some project. Studying alone also gives me a chance to improve my methods of studying. It will prepare for my future and I do not rely on anyone else so that I will become independent woman. In spite of that, studying in a group also gives me a new knowledge, we can help each other, we can get something new that we’ve never got before. However study with others is beneficial for some people in this world.

“The Backwards Brain Bicycle”


“The Backwards Brain Bicycle” 
The video tells us about Mr. Destin Sandlin experiment. When he was child, he learned to bike and he did it. Then, his friend Barney called him 25 years later and gave a challenge. He asked Destin to ride the backwards bicycle. If he turns the handlebar to the left, the wheel goes to the right and vice versa. Firstly, he could not pass the challenge. Destin said that he had the knowledge of how to operate the bike but he did not have to understand. Meanwhile “knowledge is not equal understanding” said Destin. He tried five minutes a day for 8 months and finally he did it, while his son just need two weeks to ride it. He also told us three point that we can learn from the experiment they are : 1. Welder are often smarter than engineers 2. Knowledge does not equal understanding  3. The truth is truth.
Because of I study in English Department, from the video we can take a  lesson that learning English language for us is like learning to bike. When we were child our parents taught us about Javanese or Bahasa Indonesia everyday, so that we can speak both of them easily now. But how about English language that our parent never told us about it? It has same case with Destin to ride backwards bicycle. If we want to speak English fluently, we need practice more and more (eventhough it was really hard for me). Although we have studied all times and we think that we have understood about it, if we never practice our knowledge it will be very useless for us even we forgot the lesson. By practicing something we will understand about it. As Mr Destin explain, a young child has neural plasticity than adult it means that children have a much more plastic brain. It explains us that we must study hard and practice it, it is  our chance while we are young. Moreover, practice is very important to increase our speaking ability especially I am as English Department College students.
That’s what I can learn from the video, the video really pump my motivation to speak up everywhere and alltime. Hope you enjoy it!

Right Now I start
