He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.

The director discovered from the CV,  that the youth’s academic result is excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never has a year he did not score.

The director asked, “Did you obtain any scholarship in school?” and the youth answered “none”.

The director asked, ” Is it your father pay for your school fees?” the youth answered, my father passed away when I was one year old, it is my mother who paid for my school fees.

The director asked, ” Where did your mother work?” the youth answered, my mother worked as cloth cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hand, the youth showed a pair of hand that is smooth and perfect to the director.

The director asked, ” Did you ever help your mother washed the cloth before?” The youth answered, never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books, furthermore, my mother can wash cloths faster than me.

The director said, I had a request, when you go back today, go and help to clean your mother’s hand, and then see me tomorrow morning.

The youth felt that its chance of landing the job is high, when he went back, he happily wanted to clean his mother’s hand, his mother feel strange, happy but mixed with fear, she showed her hand to the kid.

The youth cleaned his mother’s hand slowly, his tear drop down as he did that.  It is first time he found his mother’s hand is so wrinkled, and there are so many bruises in her hand. Some bruises incites pains so strong that shiver her mother’s body when cleaned with water.

This is the first time the youth realized and experienced that it is this pair of hand that washed the cloth everyday to earn him the school fees, the bruises in the mother’s hand is the price that the mother paid for his graduation and academic excellence and probably his future.

After finishing the cleaning of his mother hand, the youth quietly cleaned all remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, mother and sons talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director’s office.

The director noticed the tear in the youth’s eye, asked: ” Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?”

The youth answered, ” I cleaned my mother’s hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes’

The director asked, ” please tell me your feeling.”

The youth said, Number 1, I knew what is appreciation, without my mother, there would not the successful me today. Number 2, I knew how to work together with my mother, then only I can realize how difficult and tough to get something done.  Number 3, I knew the importance and value of family relationship.
The director said, ” This is what I am asking, I want to recruit a person that can appreciate the help of other, a person that knew the suffering of others to get thing done, and a person that would not put money as his only goal in life to be my manager. You are hired.”
Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates, every employees worked diligently and in a team, the company’s result improved tremendously.

A child who has been protected and habitually given whatever he did, he developed “entitlement mentality” and always put himself first. He is ignorance of his parent’s effort. When he started work, he assumed every people must listen to him, and when he became a manager, he would never know how suffering his employee and always blame others.  For this kind of people, he can have good result, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement, he will grumble and full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parent, did we love the kid or destroy the kid?

You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experienced it. After a meal, let them wash their plate and bowl together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way.  You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parent are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learn how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learn the ability to work with others to get thing done

Boy: Enak tau ma? Gesek-gesekin burung. Mama sih gak punya ‘burung’

Duuhhhhhhhhh KAGET !!!!! lagi.

Tenang ………… tenang ….. tarik nafas ……..

Mama: Iya tapi ati-ati loh, bisa lecet tuh ‘burung’ kalo digituin terus.

Dia diam. Saya merasa aman untuk sementara waktu.

Minggu lalu Papa Boy beli buku karangan Bunda Hana, judulnya Ayo Ajari Anak Seks. Thank God, buku itu sangat informatif.  Menenangkan hati saya, pertanyaan dan kelakuan si Boy ternyata normal. Pintar-pintarnya kita saja menyelipkan sex education di situ, yang sesuai umurnya tentu saja. Rasanya minggu ini saya perlu membaca ulang buku tersebut untuk mengantisipasi pertanyaan yang mungkin timbul.

Sejak minggu lalu kami berdua resmi melarang sitkom tersebut diputar di rumah. Pertama sih suami protes, dia suka banget soalnya. Tapi dengan alasan adegan teriak-teriak di sitkom tersebut bisa bikin anak jadi agresif, dia setuju juga.

Beberapa hari berlalu kelihatan hasilnya. Si boy jadi lebih kalem. Berkurang drastis teriakannya. Pas sharing soal ini ke teman-teman kantor, ternyata ada juga loh yang punya masalah sama: gadis kecilnya tiba2 saja suka meludah2 and melempar2 sandal. Katanya kayak mbak welas. Walahhhhhhhhh, makanya resmi deh: No More Suami-suami Takut Istri

1. Nama itu mengandung do’a.

Nama anak itu cermin harapan orang tua. Nama itu mengandung Do’a.Tetapi do’anya yang singkat saja. Kalau terlalu panjang nanti dikira Tahlil atau Wirid. Kalau dipanggil bukannya nengok, malah bilang “Amiinn..”

2. Nama jangan nyusahin orang Kelurahan

Nama anak mudah dibaca dan mudah ditulis. Meskipun tampaknya bagus,jangan pakai huruf mati yang digandeng-gandeng atau didobel-dobel (mis.Lloyd,Nikky, Thasya dll). Biasanya sama petugas Kelurahan akan terjadi salah tulis dalam pembuatan Akta Kelahiran, Kartu Keluarga, KTP dll.Nah… nggak enaknya lagi kalo kita minta revisi biasanya kena biaya lagi… dan prosesnya lama lagi.

3. Nama jangan cuma satu kata

Minimal ada First Name, Nick Name dan Family name gitu loh…. Ini penting terutama kalo pas lagi ngurus Paspor atau Visa. Nggak jadi berangkat ke Amrik hanya gara-gara namanya cuma Prakoso atau Pamuji atau Paryono khan kasiaan…

4. Nama jangan terlalu panjang

Nama yang panjang bererot bisa bikin susah si pemilik nama. Disamping susah ngingetnya, juga ngerepotin waktu ngisi formulir pendaftaran masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri (dulu UMPTN). Itu lho..yang ngitemin buletan-buletan pakai pensil 2B. Capeek khaan… Nama panjang seperti Siti Hartati Riwayati Mulianingsih Adiningrum Mekar Berseri Sepanjang Hari…. adalah sangat-sangat not-recommended.

5. Nama anak bersifat internasional

Anak kita hidup dimasa depan, di era globalisasi dimana hubungan dengan dunia internasional amat sangat intens. Jadi jangan mempersulit anak dengan nama-nama yang sulit di-eja. Nama Saklitinov msalnya orang Jepang nyebutnya Sakuritino, orang Sunda bilang aktinop orang Amrik bilang Sechlaytinove. ..Syusah khaaannn. Padahal maksudnya Sabtu Kliwon Tiga November…

6. Ketahuilah arti nama anak

Ketahuilah arti nama anak. Jangan memberikan nama hanya karena enak diucapkan atau bagus ditulisnya. Nama Jalmowono memang sepintas enak diucapkan dan bagus kalo ditulis tetapi ketahuilah bahwa Jalmowono itu artinya Orang Utan.

7.Jangan pakai nama artis.

Nama artis memang bagus-bagus, cuma masalahnya kalau artis itu kelakuannya baik… lha kalau jadi bahan gosip melulu khan jadi beban juga buat si anak. Lagian pakai nama artis itu tandanya anda gak kreatif dalam bikin nama.

8. Abjad huruf pertama nama anak.

Huruf pertama “A” pada nama anak ada enak gak enaknya. Gak enaknya kalau pas ada ujian/test/wawancara sering dipanggil duluan. Gak sempet nanya-nanya ama temannya. Tapi kadang-kadang juga pas giliran dapat pembagian apa gitu, dapetnya juga sering duluan. Sebaiknya ambil huruf pertama itu antara D sampai K. Cukupan lah… Huruf depan Z… wah.. biasanya adanya dibawah…

9. Jangan sok Kebarat-baratan

Jangan memberi nama anak dengan bergaya kebarat-baratan, biar dibilang keren. Kudu diinget, anda lahir dibumi Indonesia, orang Indonesia, kultur ya tetap orang Indonesia. Kalau nama keindo-indoan, tapi mukanya ya melayu-melayu juga, malu sendiri kan, anaknya ya ortunya.. Lagian kalo kejepit toh bilangnya “adawww….” bukan “Oh my God..”
