Tangkuban Parahu

Subhanallah, we'll become a part of this beautiful creation if we realize that we're His 'Abd'. Contemplate ourselves for knowing the truth around us. Allah taught us with all of the creations, then the question is, have we learned those lessons? You know the answer guys. (Bandung, 28 December 2009)

The Lost Art of Listening

Nothing hurts more than the sense that the people we care about aren’t really listening. We never outgrow the need to have our feelings known. That’s why a sympathetic ear is such a powerful force in human relationships—and why the failure to be understood is so painful. My ideas about listening have been sharpened by thirty-five years as a psychoanalyst and family therapist. Refereeing arguments between intimate partners, coaching parents to communicate with their children, and struggling myself to sustain empathy as my patients faced their demons has led me to the conclusion that much of the conflict in our lives can be explained by one simple fact: people don’t really listen to each other.

Talking without listening is like snipping an electrical cord in half and hoping that somehow something will light up. Most of the time, of course, we don’t deliberately set out to break the connection. In fact, we’re often baffled and dismayed by feeling left in the dark. Download the book.

How to Write Essay

The skill of writing essays is an essential tool if you are to
achieve the kind of grade you want in the courses you are
studying. This is true whether you are studying at GCSE, AS
or A levels at school or college, or trying to gain a degree
at university.
There is no single, foolproof method of successful
essay-writing. However, the advice and the practical
guidance you will receive in this book will provide you
with all you need to know about how to improve your grade assessments
by putting into practice some simple, but invaluable, principles of essay
writing.
These approaches will work for you whether you are facing assessment
in timed examinations and/or being judged by coursework assignments.
In essence, the principles of essay-writing apply to both situations: when
you are under the pressure of an examination room, or, at home or in
college with more time to produce your assignment essay.
There is no doubt at all that the people who do best in assessments of all
kinds are those who understand exactly what is required of them and
who manage to deliver exactly that. In other words, it is not just what
you know, but how you apply that knowledge when you are being
assessed that finally counts. See the book.

When Bad Grammar Happens to Good People

Everyone has bad language habits. We hear language errors
on TV, at work, and even from our family—so many times
that the errors might seem correct. But they’re still errors, and
they can make us sound less sophisticated, or even less intelligent,
than we really are.
Fortunately, you can form new, good habits the same way
you got stuck with the bad ones: by repetition. This program
will help you do it. Here’s how:
1. Get started: Find out what you know. A pretest
that covers some of the most common language
errors is included in this book. If you get an answer
wrong, or if you’re just not sure why you
got it right, the pretest’s key will direct you to the
chapter—or group of related errors—that can
help.
2. Choose where to begin! The chapters are carefully
organized in a series. The program works
best if you take the units in the order you find
them. However, they can stand alone if need be.
After you take the pretest, you may want to jump
to a particular chapter on a topic of special interest
to you.
This book will show us some mistakes that we usually made in our daily conversation and thought it as not an error. So, download the book here.
