The story about the tiny frogs…

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

Actually i found this story when i follow the link from pakdi website. I think it is worth it if I put it in my blog, so this can be something useful not only for me. :D

There once was bunch of tiny frogs,…

… who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants…

The race began…

Honestly:

No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.

You heard statements such as:

“Oh, WAY too difficult!!

They will NEVER make it to the top.”

or:

“Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!”

The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one…

… Except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher…

The crowd continued to yell

“It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!”

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up…

…But ONE continued higher and higher and higher…

This one wouldn’t give up!

At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how the one who succeeded had found the strength to reach the goal?

It turned out…

That the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is:

Never listen to other people’s tendencies to be

negative or pessimistic…

…cause they take yoost wonderful dreams and wishes away from you. The ones you have in your heart!

Always think of the power words have.

Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!

Therefore:

ALWAYS be…

POSITIVE!

And above all:

Be DEAF when people tell YOU that YOU can not fulfil YOUR dreams!

Always think:

I can do this!

Life Is A Gift

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can’t speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who’s crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished
they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one
maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.

Life is a gift
Live it
Enjoy it
Celebrate it

EMBRACE IT

And FULFILL IT

ETL Tools : Datastage vs Infopump

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

I have been using this two tools for my ETL jobs. From my experience using datastage (2 month) and Infopump (6 years), i will say that datastage is much more complicated to use, compared to infopump. The good things about datastage is, there are a support forum (www.dsxchange.com) for datastage users but not for infopump users.

In terms of popularity, datastage is much much more popular than infopump.

Do you ever examine your life ?

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

The unexamined life is not worth living.

-Socarates-

As a muslims, we are advice to examine ourself. This is called muhasabah (Self-criticism or Self-interrogation).

Well, as usual…i feel like time is running too fast. I think my life is getting busier then ever. My current job require my 110% commitment. It’s time for me to muhasabah what is the important thing in my life.

When you have your own family, you’ll know that you work not only for yourself. You work because of your family too. You work because your son or daughter need something to eat,need something to make they happy. Sometimes you not even think of yourself, you’ll think about them more than you think about you.

Sometimes i feel sad when i read about people got fired (for not good reason) and of course..the things will getting worst if he is a head of the family. I hope,it is not the end of their life.

It’s not whether you get knocked down. It’s whether you get up again

Real happiness comes from inside, nobody can give it to you.

Well, we all have ability. The difference is how we us it.

Ohh..by the way..i will writing about web programming in http://webpgm.cjcm2u.com/. So, in this blog i will writing more about my life and also my work related.

Till then…adios
