How to Read Thoroughly (Part-6)
Literacy in this sense is a reading technique that is designed to increase reading speed, but at the same time trying to improve concentration and understanding. Why improve literacy so important? Because then, in the end you will have a more relaxed time than other friends. A golden opportunity to break and taking notes and revision.
Improving literacy also means trying to stop the habit that slows reading activities. Therefore, refrain from the following habits.
1. Lip reading, when you read, his lips moving with a slow tempo and sounds, is not included in this read aloud. According to recent research from Professor. Dr. Ryu Kawashima, reading aloud can improve brain performance.
2. Subvokalisasi, voiced in the head while reading the words.
Three. Regression, ie to repeat the reading habits due to lack confidence in reading.
4. Reading word for word.
5. Read mechanically by assigning each word is read.
6. Read by moving the head.
Ultimately, efforts to overcome the bad habits that can be done in the following manner.
1. Make sure that the read was true and did not hesitate.
2. Widen the range of eye to what is read-this needs a lot of practice.
Three. Caused the desire to increase reading speed.
4. Expand to read a book.
5. Push to not repeat what you have read (Gie. 1984).
Nevertheless, the most important thing is to read the book with the speed that you feel is enough to give comfort. That means, match you with the power of reading what you read. As long as I do this is to do the reading speed when reading a book reference a particular field. However, on the other side while reading the novel, when I want to feel the winged words of a fascinating, so I read it slows down the power. This tune is said Stine (2004) that if it finds important information, read with normal speed. If not, make it fast. Look for information that does not seem to mean anything, then stop and write down what you remember as an important idea.
What you see is what you can accomplish. (Hubbert Humphrey)
How to Read Thoroughly (Part-5)
Before reading the book as a whole, should do a general overview first. This will help you to enrich the reading experience, how to read the preface. By looking foreword, at least you will know what the overall unique aspects that will be delivered the author of the book. Next is to examine the contents, to identify each part of the entire volume. Do not neglect to check the footnotes and bibliography. That way, the original source of quotations taken can be traced if you want to memperdalamnya specifically. Attachments also note if you absolutely want to see a variety of important examples of a particular skill. Finally, note book index to see a list of keywords by alphabetical order.
Techniques that you can use to do this overview can be skimming or scanning. Skimming is reading quickly and to the degree necessary to obtain an outline of the contents of the book while scanning is a quick read with caution to obtain detailed information only on the information you seek. Regardless of which technique would you take, you should focus on understanding what you want delivered by the writer.
-Look for key words-
In practical terms, the activities of reading filled with activities to collect key words. Although heavy, but worth it in the future. To perform a keyword search, the first step you should do is take the essence or the essence of the books read in the form of the main themes and key words. Then, write the books that had been prepared before-forward, these notes can be used as material for memorization.
Keywords are also in this regard, including graphs, drawings, diagrams, charts, statistical lists, and the like. That is, all attributes that are usually complementary explanations to clarify what was described, even sometimes also summarizes the amount of information is relatively long. Therefore, it is important also to copy them into the record to be used as a review when reread later.
To find a paragraph of keywords, consider the following a few guidelines.
1. When you find words like "addition", "moreover," "more information", "as is" and the like, skip it because that would be delivered not a novelty.
2. When a word like "however", "but", "but" and so on, slows down the speed of reading, because you will find new information.
Three. This is perhaps the essence of search you want, when you find words like "so", "summary", "in essence", "result", and so on.
4. Slows down reading speed when finding "is", "is", "namely", "mean", "mean", or "is" because it shows the main idea.
5. The description of the main idea with the words "like", "example", "like", "among others", "as follows", "consisting of".
6. When you find the word "hence", "so", "eventually" or "thus", you find a conclusion.
How to Read Thoroughly (Part-4)
-Develop Good Habits in Reading-
The higher the education level you enter, the greater the required reading activities. For example, when the elementary and middle school reading activities You probably have not felt as an obligation. This was because almost all the subject matter given by teachers. However, do not expect you will experience a similar condition while in college. You could say, in college no one else can students rely on the professor. He must try to find the best learning resources to be accessible. Finding information becomes clear that the target must be achieved by reading as its main weapon. At least, according to research W. Baker (in Gie. 1984) of approximately 85% studying in the university consists of reading activities.
The importance of reading is not just mastering the technique per se, but also how it can develop good habits in reading. What does it mean when all the most advanced techniques in reading have been mastered, but a bad habit of reading is still often performed.
Here are several points that must be considered in reading.
1. Health Notice to read: note the lighting elements in a way: do not let any shadows in the direction the book while reading, keep the distance between eyes and book approximately 25 to 30 cm, and every 1-2 hours to read try to do 5 to 10 minute intermission.
2. Flats plan to use the time to read.
Three. Read with great concentration.
4. Try to read just once.
Reading-Have-indulgence
There is a difference between people who love to read and who are not fond. In the short term, people who do not have a love of reading does not seem different in terms of results, but in the long run seems a result of such indulgence to the readings.
So you can be successful and valuable to, there is no other more effective ways except by growing love of reading. Capital for the avid reader in general mentioned Goodchild (2 006) as follows.
1. Have a love of books.
2. Fill out the bookshelves at home with books and other reading materials.
Three. Make reading materials as an important part of recreation and daily life.
4. Invest the time to read.
Identity-Note-Books or Reading
In college, pay attention to the attributes of the book as valuable as the information is successfully retrieved. All of the identity of the book as a material indispensable bibliography of a paper or a scientific paper. Therefore, know the name author, year published, title of book, city rose, and year published. The next step is to write down your identity into the record books. In time, all reviewers to the identity of a book or reading materials can be utilized for the purposes of making a summary of the card as described on page 82 (check again).

How to Read Thoroughly (Part-3)
Reading activity is closely connected with the activity record and write. That is, what you read will be required for purposes of memorization and writing a particular task. This further strengthened by the statement from the Goodchild (2006) that reading activities will bring focus on writing.
Based on these statements, marking what you read is an act of genius. The reason, most of the learners only consider reading aims to understand or acquire knowledge so that re-reading it later. Of course this is not forbidden, but unfortunately only because such action is far from effective. To be effective and how? Make a mark during the process of reading a book.
Way of marking is done by giving the sign or marker to write the words on the edge of the pages. Some of the signs, whether words or ticker symbol of bookmarks you can see in Table 6 and Table 7 of this book.
Here are a sign that is often used for the purposes of marking books.
1. To the principal sentence or something important, give a red underline, circle the sentence, or put asterisks around the phrase. If too long give straight lines along the paragraphs that you consider important.
2. To the additional sentence, give the bottom line with a black pen.
Three. Each definition can be marked under the blue line.

Once again, views about the uniqueness of human change. Many people think that only people with exalted Quotiens Intelegencies that will live successfully. That view changed when the dawn of a new research shows that everyone has the potential to succeed.
Multiple intelligences in turn change the paradigm of humans from creatures that have limited potential to have unlimited potential. "The essence of Multiple Intelligences Theory is to respect diversity and uniqueness of every person," says Gardner-the originator of the Theory of Multiple Intelligencies-school book in the introduction of the Champion.
The main idea of the theory of multiple intelligences according to one theory of Multiple Intelligencies advocate, Thomas Armstrong (2003), were as follows.
1. Every person has the capacity to function in the eight intelligences simultaneously with different ways.
2. In general, one can develop each intelligence to an adequate level of mastery.
Three. In general, intelligences work together in complex ways.
4. A great way to become smarter in each intelligence.
As in the animal kingdom, each species has their own privileges. Good at running deer, bird experts fly. The fish was an expert swimmer. Squirrels have jumped greatness. There are many more animals each with its privileges. So it is with humans, naturally have their own privileges. However, it could have gone kecerdesan when not fertilized by diligent.
If we insist to see the rainbow spectacle of intelligence with a single filter, many intelligence will be cloaked at all. (Renne Fuller)

- Know the other person's perspective to enrich knowledge.
The Best Learning Potention (Part-1)
Later, with time and scientific research, comes the name of Dr. Howard Gardner, a cognitive psychologist who discovered that every human being is potentially definitely talented, but he manifests a different way (Dryden, Gordon and Jeannett Vos, 2004). This is one basis of the Theory of Multiple Intelligence (Multiple Intelligences). Further theory offers a broader view of what can be imagined that intelligence is a continuity that can be developed for life. Intelligence embodied in various types. The impact of this theory make everyone as smart people in their respective capacities.
The following explanation will describe each intelligence along with tips for learning purposes.
Linguistics or Language-Intelligent-
Some activities: diaries, speeches, letters, writing, tape, words, speech, essay, recording equipment, stationery, lyrics, e-mail, vent (outpouring), paper, dialogue, meresensi, spelling, discussions, listen, make paper, debate, and storytelling.

- Frequently edit and refine writing.
Logical-Mathematical logic or Smart-
Key words: experiment, questions and answers, calculate, think deductively, inductively conclude something, to speak based on facts, do puzzles, logical thinking, and speaking symbolically.
Thinking with the reasoning is the ability to solve problems logically and scientifically.

- Finish the job gradually.
- For the work into several priority.
- Analyze and interpret data in the form of histograms, graphs, charts, plans, diagrams, and so forth.
- Record the subject matter in an organized way.
Mind Learning Styles (Part-2)
Key words: Analytical, likes to debate, academic, logical, critical, drafter, rational and intellectual.
Sequential thinkers with a love of abstract theories, such a theory about the connection with the events they experienced daily. It may just be because the abstract sequential thinkers enable the combination of the left brain with the heart within him.
What did you like and do not like to learn?
You love to analyze the information thanks to the mastery of the various theories that relate and think conceptually. That way, it is easy for you to find the outline of a specific book chapters and detailed explanation. Your style of abstract sequential thinkers would like to read and create a summary task. In addition, you also happy with the project task at the end of the semester, for example, to enhance the ability of logic.
You may prefer to learn alone rather than studying the group, working quietly to discuss an issue thoroughly, providing ideas logical sequence. In addition, you prefer to use the evidence to prove a theory and gather more information before making a decision.
Thing that you dislike is that too little time in solving a problem, repeating the same task over and over again, specific rules, and involve the emotions in learning.
Concrete-Random (AK) -
Key words: Want to try, like challenges, are adventurous, competitive, creating something original, inventor, modifiers, see opportunities.
With the combination of right brain functioning and the senses, this concrete random thinkers like to think creatively, which is characterized by intuitive leaps that often perform experiments. The discovery of a way would not be satisfactory for this type of thinker. Concrete random thinkers will continue expanding until the available alternatives.
What did you like and do not like to learn?
Tasks that you like is something related to the new discovery, the process of experimentation, reviews or broad view of various perspectives of an event, and has many options and solutions. You may also like to provide creative ideas and use different ways of doing things, accepting people who have many differences. In addition, the difficulty you face is also not a few, among them is to make a formal report, study regularly, and save documents in detail.
Abstract-Random (AA) -
Key words: Imaginative, adaptable, are personal, are cooperative, sensitive, sociable, spontaneous, and very caring.
Abstract random thinkers already allows the use of a combination of right brain and liver. So, all ideas will be absorbed and then processed through a reflective process. Thinkers do not like this type of regularity as a synonym for a structured, especially when when working with a sense of badmood. For abstract random thinkers it would be very disturbing.
What do you like and dislike in the study?
Your style of thinking random abstract pleased with the task of contemplating the substance or nature of things. Imagination is very helpful for tasks such as writing or painting abstract, indifferent to the duties related to human relationships, focusing on themes and ideas, also recognize and appreciate other people's emotions. You prefer to learn alone, make decisions based on feelings. You are experiencing difficulty in learning groups, especially when people who interact with dictators. You do not like giving the right details, give explanations, and learn in environments that limit.
Life assurance comes from the knowledge that every day you improve yourself. (Anthony Robbins)
Mind Learning Styles (Part-1)
Prof. Anthony Gregorch (in Prashing, 2007), a curriculum specialist from the University of Connecticut, has divided the spectrum into four different styles, namely:
1. Concrete Sequential (SK);
2. Abstract Sequential (AS);
Three. Random Discipline (AK);
4. Random Abstract (AA).
Including the type of thinker are you? Please observe carefully the characteristics of each type.

Concrete-Sequential (SK) -
The key word: Reality, the senses are practical, perfectionist, orderly, given the detail, organizers.
Concrete sequential thinker is a combination of left brain functions and senses. Thinkers of this type because it bases itself on the reality of the workings of sensory function. So, the reality is absorbed through the channels of sight, hearing, contiguity, pencecapan, and pembauan. Concrete sequential thinker much given the facts, specific information, and the formula is easy because of the influence of the use of her left brain. That causes the information can be processed orderly and linear manner.
What did you like and do not like to learn?
With this sort of thinking styles you'll be glad when learning to use formulas and information detail. You have an easy way to implement ideas, to produce something concrete from the abstract ideas, studying in a quiet environment, and effective when working on the task in stages. You'll also quickly find out detailed tasks when these tasks on time and able to work well. However, you will have difficulty learning in environments that do not regularly follow the instructions that are not clear, working in groups and make creative ideas
Learning Absorption (Part-3)
Some keywords for the kinesthetic: moving, practices, pointed writing while reading, feel, talk drifted, emotional comfort, touch, active, gardening, acting, learning, walking, and gives a signal.
Thinking through feelings and sensations as well as receive information through all kinds of motion and emotion is the ability to remember what you felt.
Kinesthetic types of people: if you speak slowly added a tone that seemed heavy and the hands are moved in the area around the stomach to describe something. Her clothes are tasteful and eye-important downward. Frequently used phrase, "According to feelings I have ..." and "Do!"
The modalities of this type at least belongs to someone. If you feel you are on these modalities, you will likely experience a big obstacle in making a poem or a poem, make a record full of images, listening to teachers lecture, or concentration, sitting for hours.
Another case if you study demonstratively, absorb, and understand information by copying pictures or words to then learn to speak it, understand the facts, or in making models. Learning outside the classroom where you can improvise freely doing fun activities is a great way to learn is not it? You can also highly reliable for absorbing the information without having to read what they have just by holding the object. You like to use real objects as learning aids.
Realize the variety of this modality, it is best you try to have the ability multisensorik. That means you must train a weak ability of the modality or less dominant. Why it should be done? This was necessary because the learning method in class tend not to use one method, but most methods. If you just rely on the ability of one dominant modality, it will be a lot of subject matter that you can not absorb. So, the solution is of course a lot of practice to hone these weak modalities. Is honed less dominant modality can be done? Sure you can, just as the dominance of brain hemispheres, each of us granted the other elements of the modality, but certainly with a low concentration and intensity, making it possible when sharpened.
Research Michael Grinder (in Gordon and Jeannette Vos Drydn, 2004) states that from 30 students in a school which examined, 22 of them to balance their ability to absorb information in different ways. Experiencing difficulties in 2-3 person because of factors outside the classroom and the remaining 6 people or roughly 20% of them are very dominant in the visual, auditory, or kinesthetic only. Those who have difficulty absorbing this information if the information is given in terms of style they do not like.
To learn something quickly and effectively, you must see, hear, and feel it.
(Tony Stockwell)
Learning Absorption (Part-2)

-Visual-
Some key words for the visual: color, doodles, regularly, relations of space, learn through drawing, talking rapidly, diaries, watch, create a map, painting, and designing.
Think through their vision and receive information through visual imagery is the ability to remember what is seen.
We can recognize this visual person immediately from his performances, like fast talking style with the use of a high tone, and while he spoke his hand over his chest as a qualifier and his eyes upward. Characteristics usually wear clothes that look very neat. The phrase is often used is "... According to my vision," "Let's see my earlier exposure contain answers to that question," "Imagine", "It seems that opinion may be accepted common sense."
You are superior in a visual information obtained will certainly be easier to remember reading the books or records are filled drawings, diagrams, maps, and charts. Moreover, in addition to having sufficient understanding of artistic problems, you have the strong sense of color. You also tend to use body movements while expressing something in front of the class. You will be happy if teachers show display (slides) or video on the sidelines of teaching.
However, you may be difficulty in following the activities of discussion, a little awkward when asked to make a speech in front of the class, or if not accompanied by instructions on the map you can get lost when reaching a certain place. Not only that, you also often misinterpreted words or speech.
-Auditory-
Some key words for the auditory: music, listening, storytelling, tone, speech, singing, dialogue, singing, sound, talking to himself, reading quietly, according to the procedure, talk slow, rhythm, sound, storytelling, and debate.
Thinking through the sounds and words as well as receive information through the sense of hearing is the ability to remember what is heard.
In everyday life, when speaking, people with the kind of rhythmic auditory tones were. Auditory people also use the help of his hand across his chest to clarify some information that was conveyed as he leads the eye to the left or right as if looking for the location of both his ears. Clothes neatly into the next feature. Favorite words "Just listen to the opinion of Me", "Listen!", "My opinion", and "Sounds great!".
If you are more comfortable with sound, tone or rhythm then you can be categorized as auditory. Excess you have to "listen" rather than "see." So, how to learn together with a mutual friend telling or discussion is a favorite way of learning. You also will not interfere with voice or music. Often you are asked to get the answer from the teacher than reading directly from the book. You also often writes themselves heard after ensuring the information directly.
Another case when you learn by doing physical actions are likely to have problems. So did you have trouble working a tool to demonstrate the process, less able to remember well what you just read is not good also in the writing or the writing task. Not only that, you are also difficult to directly absorb the information in written form, in addition to having trouble writing or reading.
Learning Absorption (Part-1)
Model of learning modalities of this discipline is the foundation of the science of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) which was developed for the first time by Richard Bandler and Michael Grinder in the 1970s. The model is then used widely in education. Subdisciplines related research was mostly done to experts, including Professor Ken and Rita Dunn of the University St.. Johns, New York. So did Dr. Jeannette Vos. For seven years he did extensive research about the method of fast learning and application of course subdisciplines in education (Dryden, Gordon and Jeannette Vos, 2004).
Not to miss Bobbi DePorter, author of Quantum Quantum Teaching and Learning. He has tested the model profession into the curriculum of his course the Super Camp, which indirectly helped popularize the model of this profession.
The Processor of Learning Speed (Part-3)
However, creativity is increasingly honed ability to produce a brilliant solution. When the loans granted to individuals, there can be no responsibility to return the loan. Thus began the era of lending to the group.
The loan money must be performed simultaneously, at least ten persons. If there are not willing to pay, the loan would be borne jointly by the other group members except as affected by disasters or any other major force. Not the blue, when Jonah was able to use both brain hemispheres simultaneously, he succeeded in formulating the concept of poverty reduction in Bangladesh from the initial capital amounting to 27 dollars. Until now, the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh has reached 71 371 2226 villages are served by branches in all corners and able to channel loans to tens of millions of dollars per month of 6.6 million residents to the poor.
Once the importance of this brain to attract scientists to continue to do research. One prominent scientist Dr tersebutlah. Marian C. Diamond that has been dissected to study the structure of the brain then figures the world of physics, Einstein (in this world only two people who studied his brain for academic purposes, namely Einstein and Michael Jackson). Results of research found that Einstein's brain did not differ much with the human brain in general. The only difference appears only in one region in 39 areas located in the inferior parietal lobe (one part of neorkoteks, part of the brain to think and learn). In that region there is a kind of special or glial cells in large quantities. Area 39 is one of 52 brain regions surrounding skin neuroanatomist research results, Korbinian Broddman.
In other words, Einstein became a world figure because of physics during his life are always doing exercises on his brain, among them by doing mental exercises. In the last part of this book, namely Learning Exercise to Maintain Success. You can apply a variety of exercises to train the brain that is based on research findings, some scientists the world.
The human brain: a possible springboard to jumped into the world of the genius that is very amazing. (Dilip Mukerjea)
The Processor of Learning Speed (Part-2)

Now try your test content prior brain hemisphere dominance by giving the sign to tick / tick (√) on an empty field in accordance with actual conditions.

In plain view, seeing the results that you can find out there is the dominance of the strength of your hand. Is there strength in his right hand, left hand or, on both hands? If a strong right hand, then you tend to use the left brain. If otherwise, you tend to use right brain. Why did it happen? That happened because the right hand side of the brain controls the left side of the body and vice versa. Albrecht (2003) are further explained in terms of motor function, the right brain controls the left side of the body and the left brain controls the right body part. That's why the test above would like to see the domination of the brain through motor control.
After you have finished filling out this test, what result? Most people are more dominant in the left brain, it is seen from the average use of the right side of the body. However, it does not mean it is best to use their dominant right brain or left hand. The latest findings of the neurologist actually states that we use both sides of the brain in almost every activity. Therefore, the best are those that use both brain hemispheres in a balanced manner. As Jensen (2007), the brain will be able to cope with problems better if both sides can be used simultaneously. In order for this to synergize the two hemispheres in a balanced way, then please read more information on the Exercise to Keep Learning Success.
The use of both hemispheres of the brain at the same time had given birth to many a genius. Call it among Leonardo da Vinci is known as one of the greatest artists throughout history. There was also Muhammad Yunus, a designer of programs that are recognized internationally, which took him as a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.
Is Leonardo da Vinci was a scientist multitalented. Two of the most prominent of which are math and art. No wonder if the synergies both fields which indicate the use of both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously has delivered many high-quality artwork. For example, before he start painting with the use of mathematical equations to calculate the right color combinations to create the effect he wanted. Results can be witnessed in works such as the Mona Lisa brilliant.
The Processor of Learning Speed (Part-1)
One hundred years later, precisely in the 1960s, Dr. Roger Sperry of the University of Chicago confirmed the findings of the experts that there are differences in function between the right brain and left brain hemispheres, although of course it is always a synergy for more complex activities.
Hemispheres of the human brain is divided into two types: the left brain and right brain. Although our brains are divided into two, kind of thought that produced three. First, rational, intuitive, namely the ability to solve the problem with the correct analysis. Second, emotional, namely the ability to understand emotions and emotional processing in order not to fall in an uncontrollable situation. Finally, the third-spiritual, namely the ability to realize the existence of, so always be individuals who are beneficial to the world around them. These three parts of the brain called Samples (2002) as a triune brain, namely brain-shaped model is viewed vertically from top to bottom structure.
Below is an explanation of the characteristics and functions of each brain hemisphere.
Left-Brain-
Keywords: calculations, numbers, sequences, organized, directed, like a puzzle, predict, procedures.
Function: verbal language, writing, reading, explain the details, understand the details, auditory association, assessments, analytical, expressions, putting the facts, organizing activities.
Your left brain is dominant with the task will be difficult to paint, funny, have a problem when it does not know the details of the tasks received to do, even sometimes feel stuck because none of the ideas generated.
Right-Brain-
Keywords: colors, feelings, images, symbols, nonverbal elements, three-dimensional space, music.
Function: express emotion and feeling, art and aesthetics, visualization, synthesize data, introduction to shapes, designs and patterns.
When you are more likely to use the right brain, then maybe you'll have a problem analytically, the difficulty of specifying the root of the problem in detail and detailed, or problematic in assessing the objective point of view.
Gravity Learning Energy
In terms of how to get the energy, man is divided into two parts, the introverts and extroverts. Carl Gustav Jung Swiss nationals a psychiatrist who is considered the first person to classify humans in this kind of introvert and extrovert.
Now try your self-evaluation, including the owner what kind of energy with due regard to the table below.
Table 1
Variety of Energy

-Introvert-
Outs, concentrated, earthy, reflection, reflect, act cool (cool), harbored, thinking before acting, to the deep, quiet.
If you are more likely to 'introvert', when learning at times you will find it difficult to relate to or cooperating with others, such as activity in study groups or in making the group work. Again, it was not caused by the inability to work, but more because of habit and prefer to work alone. You also difficult to study at the time was not in the mood and also a bit problematic when teachers teach with a variety of teaching methods.
You may have to find a friend you trust most in the group learning, active in group work primarily concerns the drafting or blueprint for the task. In the study, to obtain maximum results, keep learning to keep a good mood by way of immediate repair (recovery) himself was not there when the mood.
-Extroverts-
Enthusiastic, speaking before thinking, outgoing, open discussion, active, outward, friendly, expressive, friendly, tend to communicate verbally, emotions.
However, if you feel closer to 'extrovert' instead of 'introvert', then you tend to be more than happy to group work because you are easy to adjust, work in study groups, showed great enthusiasm in learning, and prefer to learn when teachers use a variety of teaching methods.
Energy increases, doubled when you set goals that are desirable and decided to work to achieve that goal.

TARGETING - Defining Your Own Target (Part-2)
The next stage is to take action. To take action, do the action stages (tetaskan), focus (channel), and solutif (innovation).
1. Action step
Should we need to learn how to work-she rainwater dripped little by little, from top to bottom as well as sustainable. Manage the learning activities are painstaking and patient, do the small things and continuously until at some time later not be surprised if transformed into an important competence.
2. Action focused
God has provided a channel for rainwater to be a gathering for all the outpouring of rain water (equivalent to the causes of the coming of sustenance in humans). Focus to develop this learning activity so that its strength will double the purse advantage of great competence.
3. Action solutif
No man who never make mistakes. Error and ignorance is not a distinguishing those who are not experts with the experts. What distinguishes it is: a correction, frequency, and motivation. Keep advantage by continuing to innovate to become a leader in its class. Successful action in meaningful learning that we must continue to accumulate ASSET productive lifetime. This asset is a methodology that will help us in solving the problems in the lives of present and future, either for personal or public interest, whether at home, in society, both in the workplace.
As a frame of a reminder, let interim target is always a better direction. Ubaedy (in 2005) asserted that the formula which could improve the quality targets should be better than that already achieved.
The best thing in this world is not a place where we stand,
but in what direction we are heading.
(Oliver W. Holmes)
TARGETING - Defining Your Own Target (Part-1)
-Success-Setting milestones
To achieve this success, the first step is to establish a successful foothold. As the sage said, "You'll be successful at the time began to advance toward a worthy goal." To that end, pick a target and burst the targets will be activities that are operational (day-to-day work to be done in a measured).
Targets that you set should be written in a positive and fulfilling element of SMART.
1. Specific
Specific means that what you want to achieve must be clear and detailed. Like wanting to learn the mastery of certain skills, the desire was not enough to express just want to master writing skills. However, that desire must be translated in full into-about-to have the skills to write popular. Thus, for perhaps the focal point towards achieving the targets will be achieved.
2. Measurable
Literally, Measurable is measured both qualitatively (the quality or specific nature) or quantitative (amount). For example, how much? How long? Or, how strong? In this desire as a writer set a target of the ability of beginners.
3. Achievable
Can be achieved, thus Achievable synonym for this. These words contain the consequences of whatever target you want to achieve must not too small, so easy to make it happen. Or conversely, the target is too large, making it difficult for you to achieve. For example, results from the ability to write is feasible popular teen magazine is sent to the editor.
4. Reasonable
Target statement you make must be reasonable. If you continue to learn how to write good popular autodidact and of course writing means a lot of sense with which created the target. However, if you learned so far is about assembling a computer while you are going to master the target of popular writing skills, then the targets will be very much to be realized.
5. Time bound
When are you going to achieve these targets? When setting targets popular mastery of writing skills, you must specify the time, as in the past two years ahead of time specified. When the target was declared in October, the accomplishments should be limited until next year October 2nd. That means you have to measure it when two years later.
RISKING - Paying The Price of Success (Part-3)
Are you ready to risk? When ready, meaning you must be committed to your decisions and make anything you do deserve to be done. As Lim (1997: 56) that the main problem is not serious in achieving the goals set time commitment and action programs, but ongoing efforts to ensure the continuation of action consistently.
We need to learn to commit to several figures whose works were so close to our daily life, namely:
1. Alfa 11 000 Thomas Edison had failed experiments before he created the light bulb;
2. 1009 Colonel Sanders would have knocked on doors to offer a chicken recipe her mother before she accepted the idea of investors;
3. Washington's accident, so can not speak and walk. He has tried to instruct the engineer through the fingers of his wife with one hand for 13 years before the founding of the Brooklyn Bridge;
4. John Creasey got 753 rejection from publishers before the first book of 550 books published;
5. Bob Wieland a Vietnam War veteran who lost both legs following the 10 K race in New York in 1986 and became a participant longest run lasted for 4 days 2 hours 48 minutes and 17 seconds from 19 413 participants;
6. Maxcy Filer followed 48 times the state exam to get certified attorney in California before successfully on the age of 61 years,
7. Sylvester Stallone asked for an audition to over 1000 agencies to get a role before finally getting a role he had hoped;
8. Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen to get the rejection from 33 publishers before finally book Chicken Soup for the Soul is able incised fantastic sales exceeding 80 million copies;
9. Mr Mandela was forced to crouch for 27 years in jail before the end of apartheid regime in South Africa collapsed.
They are the people who never give up this as responding to what was said by one of the great United States president, Theodore Roosevelt. Here's what he said.
Do not just stand in line to life, and do not just criticize others
Jump to the scratch, follow the game
The award is only given to those who fought
Whose face was decorated with dust, sweat, and blood
Who struggled bravely
Who do wrong and then continue to feel deprived while trying hard to fix
With great enthusiasm and loyalty
And spends his time doing valuable matters
Those who understand that people who are brave and persevering eventually reach the high achievement
And although those who fail, but still do their best
So that his place will never be shared souls who are afraid of cold and soggy to try to defeat or victory
Now how about you? Set yourself for stepping forward. World leads to a very tight competition to fight over who is worthy of the best predicate.
Many people achieve greatness thanks to the many difficulties and hardships they faced. The strongest growth of bushes on the ground the hardest. Darkness mencemerlangkan stars.
(B u r n)
RISKING - Paying The Price of Success (Part-2)
However, it is important to note that there is a price to pay for it all, although it can be paid in cash or credit. What price to pay for a success? The following list.
1. Hard work.
2. Vices.
3. Suffering.
4. Problem.
5. Struggle.
6. Time.
7. Complaint.
8. Fund.
9. Not like home.
10. Difficulties.
11. Loss of pleasure, and so forth.
If you are not ready to pay the price of that success, then:
1. should not expect success can be achieved;
2. check back at yourself consequences which may arise if not immediately take action;
3. double check your definition of success, lest you do not really want or you just want to be mediocre.
However, before you decide not ready to pay the price, you should note the following list.
1. Laughing at risk looking foolish.
2. Connect with other people at risk of involvement.
3. Putting thoughts and dreams in the crowd risk losing.
4. Life is a risk of death.
5. Failure trying risky.
Apparently, the simple things also contains a risk. Therefore, the risk must be taken because the greatest risk is not risking anything. Someone who does not take any risks, he does not do anything and he certainly was not anyone. He may avoid suffering, but he also did not learn, feel, change, grow, and life. He was chained by the saklek her, she is a slave. Only someone who takes risks is free. Take a risk (Hayden, 2006: 36).
RISKING - Paying The Price of Success (Part-1)
This kind of opinion will lead us to the belief that it is better to wait for good fortune because it is not necessarily good fortune will come, though we have earned by toiling in the best way to learn, learn the best science and the best schools as well. More dangerous this opinion will lead to God to judge of favoritism or unfair because it does not provide equally good fortune to us.
Against this argument is enough to question, "Then what's the point of strategy, the determination, perseverance, hard work and patience are we doing? The answer is obvious is not it? Strategy and the overall effort of course is useless because that is able to distinguish between someone who is successful and which not.
A proverb I once heard from a man who I admire Dr. H. Bambang Marsono, M Sc, MBA, "We're not going to be okay if you do not do anything." He said, someone defined by his efforts. Someone will only achieve something it has earned.
Success is not something to be instant. To reach it takes time and hard work (switch on, rather than switch off). As in the case turned on a lamp in the room, when someone wanted a room from dark to light conditions, then he should immediately seek to switched socket (switch on). Well, that's a real effort to turn the energy needs of the wanted room light. However, to make a room look dark, quiet enough to not do anything, would not need to bother looking for socket and turn it on (switch off).
In this case, the incident light (switch on) analogue with a desire for someone to successfully change the conditions that are not expected to be under appropriate conditions with expectations. Conversely, the event did not turn on the lights (switch off) is an analogy of someone who does not want any success in order to successfully accomplish.
REFRAMING - Reviewing a Success (Part-2)
Actually what is success? Does success mean that also must measure ourselves with others? Those are some questions that may arise. If successful the size of others, the impact had imagined it? A conglomerate also will never be successful because there is still a much more rich conglomerates from him. As the proverb states that in the sky there is heaven.
Therefore, we need to redefine success in order to obtain a correct understanding because we will try to reach it. Success is not a race that measures its success must be compared with others. Success is a race, but a personal record-breaking race against a particular achievement. Success there myself in accordance with the career and self development as desired. In other words, we're competing with ourselves.
As has been said by the Steward B. Johnson that "The purpose of our lives is no more powerful than others, but to be someone who is more superior than us, which we set a record, surpassing the achievement yesterday with the result today."
When we see others obtain the value of 8.2 in mathematics while our values are still below it at a single digit and then we thought had failed when compared with my friend. Of course for something like that does not include successful. Own measure of success is by way of personal record.
Thus, success is a personal record-breaking attempt. In this measure, we compete with ourselves.
Implementation of a successful concept that emphasizes personal record size on the achievement of these will bring enormous benefits, such as the following.
1. Our freedom to be yourself so that spared from the negative feelings towards the success of others.
2. We can set their own standards that can be regulated target achievement according to your needs and our capabilities.
3. We can become more successful than the people who want us to imitate.
4. Target and the struggle of our lives will continue to increase. Immediately after a target achieved, you can define and pursue other goals higher.
Redefining success is not really intended to allow a person to stop moving forward. For this, Aleinikov (2004) exclaimed, "Stop stop and keep moving on."
Luck is only possible when the preparation capable of seizing opportunities.

REFRAMING - Reviewing a Success (Part-1)
The misunderstanding of the concept-Success-
Here is some misunderstanding of the concept of success in general.
1. Some people can not succeed because of the background, education and others. In fact, everyone can achieve success. It's just how they want it, then do something to achieve it. Remember that everyone is basically learning, even in this person who dropped out of school though. The difference is, they taught himself while most people learn formally in school or college.
2. Successful people do not make mistakes. In fact, successful people that just made a mistake as we all do. However, they did not make this mistake a second time.
3. To be successful, we must work more than 60 hours (70, 80, 90 ...) a week. In fact, the problem is not with the duration of your work. However, how the quality of work may continue to be improved, eg by doing something right.
4. You can only succeed when playing something in accordance with the rules. In fact, who makes the rules? Every situation requires a different way. Sometimes we do have to follow the rules, but at other times it is you who makes the rules.
5. If you always ask for help, you do not succeed. In fact, success rarely happens in moments of solitude. Instead, the attitude to recognize and appreciate the assistance of others can help your success. We certainly will be able to answer, can we prepare ourselves for the task out of town alone? Can we shave themselves in the Barber Shop?
6. Required a lot of luck to succeed. In fact, it only takes a little luck. The rest, is required much hard work, intelligence, knowledge, and application.
7. Success is when you get a lot of money. In fact, the money is only one of the many advantages offered by success. Money was not a guarantee of your success. Is not money can not buy sense peacefully in his sleep?
8. Success is when all people admit it. In fact, you may be able to gain more recognition of others for what you do. But, even though only you know it, you're still successful.
9. Success is the goal. In fact, success is more than you can achieve your objectives and goals. For example, if you reach a goal is not necessarily happy, whether it was also a success?
10. I am successful when my trouble ended. In fact, you may be successful, but you are not God. You still have to go through the road goes up and down as you experienced in times past. Just enjoy what you have achieved and to live each day as it is. (Adapted from The Top 10 misconceptions About Success, Jim M. Allen)

POSITIONING - Knowing Your Self-Positioning
Position of Self-Know-
Let us examine the existence of a dot. Where are his position when we see it? Is a point to know his position in the coordinate how without the help line Cartesians? Certainly would not know, right? When a point just will not know his position without the help of tools, what hope do we as human beings.
Figure 1.
Location of a point
Similar to a point, you need to know the last position where you are in the process of learning that you live today. This is so that you can recognize your goals in learning. Just think back to what you really want to achieve so far. Do not hurry, let the time to finish the job. To help you do that, I help with some of the following list of questions.
1. What do you like to do? Why do you enjoy doing? (Question opposite is also absolutely necessary to your answer.)
2. What can make you happy? Why are you happy because of that? (Questions must also reverse your answer.)
There are many reasons for someone to do something. Is it because the search for recognition from others, seek power or seek good relations with others. (Third it was presented by David Mc Clelland). No less also other reasons such as seeking material rewards, search skills, looking for security, or may also search for things that are meaningful to her personal life.
Hearts Desire-Know-
One or several things might have been something you want to accomplish. Nothing bad with all that desire. The only thing worse is if you do not have the desire. Furthermore, please answer the questions below.
1. What do you want to accomplish in one year?
2. What do you want to accomplish within the next two years?
3. What do you want to accomplish within the next five years?
4. What do you want to accomplish within the next ten years?
5. What do you want to accomplish in twenty years? (And so on in accordance with your ideals.)
At least, from the responses that you have set themselves the starting line in order to reach the finish line. You do not need to worry about anything you want because all the results will die for what you do. As said Johanes Lim, Ph. D. in his book entitled No Pain, No Gain (freely translated roughly "No Effort, No Results"), that to achieve success and victory there is no easy shortcuts let alone the street.
You are not what you think, but
