Envy is humane. It’s been there inside the heart by default since you’re born. Envy is not bad as far as you can control it and use it as a trigger to motivate you work harder and smarter. It can backfire against you, if you let it run on its way.

Since, success is not as the result of hardworking alone. Various factors contribute to a success or failure including, but not limited to, right strategy, good plan, deep vision. All in all, smart is the key along side the hardwork.

Muhammadiyah, the second largest Muslim organisation in Indonesia, will hold Idul Adha prayer on Sunday, 19 November 2010 M. Saudi Arabia is also going to hold Idul Adha prayer around this time.

Whichever days you celebrate Idul Adha both are religiously correct. And I should wish you a “Happy Idul Adha”

He had been torturing some of his people during his uncontested rule. Power tends to corrupt your mind. To dictatorize you. To cruelize you. That happens not only to Qaddafi. This also happens to people–the Libyan fighters– who have the chance to see him hiding in the drainage tunnel. When the people has the power to do whatever they like to do to Qaddafi, they become cruel and sadistic to him just as him to them.

That is the power of power. Unless, you can control you mind. And there’s someone watch over your footstep.

That’s what I was saying to some audience this morning. I feel that what I preached found the echoes in what I’ve been doing so far to some extent.

There are some area where I feel so stupids for not having a clear vision of what I’ve been, are, will be doing. I think it’s not so late to make the change. First, make a careful, thorough and clear cut vision on those “things”. Second, do it based on those blueprint.

Hope, I can make it sooner than later.

From the very bottom of the civil servant hyrarchies to the top, the corruption is there. Many public discourses held in media or seminars about where to start eradicating this pendemic and who wants to do what.

It takes so long time until Indonesia’s DPR established a superbody called KPK (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi). The KPK gives Indonesian people a hope to a better Indonesia without a corruption or at least with a lot less corrupt officials.

KPK has a long way to go due to many obstacles it faces including the lack of investigators. It has only around 70 while investigators. Compare to Hongkong’s version of KPK which has around 900 investigators. Let’s hope DPR gives more budget and investigative resources and allows this body to strengthen itself with some more supporting regulations.

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III told a congressional hearing on Thursday that the bureau is conducting a review of training programs after disclosure of materials that equated devout Muslims with a greater propensity for violent extremism.

Mr. Mueller said that one part of the training program disclosed in a press account was “inappropriate and offensive,” but that the session was a “one-off” and not likely to be repeated.

Rest in peace Steve Jobs. The world will miss your amazing innovation. The world will never be the same again. Apple is the company owed so much of its skyrocketting rise to Steve Jobs one man show.

One should not forget that an urge to go to violence is here within one’s heart. And human has a tendency to justify whatever one does to hide one’s true intention. And what the most legitimate reasons other than the reason of religion?

Hence, history witnessed the religion’s based ware in the Europe. Now, many terrorists, who claim to be Muslim, wage the war against anyone who doesn’t accept their ideology.

Anyone who cannot make peace with himself will always try to wage violence with or against others to satisfy his lust of doing violence acts. With or without the name of religion.

It’s the duty of all of us to keep it at bay. To fight any kind of violence means to achieve the ends.

I personally condemns any terror / violence means to achieve whatever goal.

Muslim scholars needs to work harder to enlighten a few grass-root people who are interpreting Islam in the most dangerous way.
