Bukti kebesaran Allah pada tulang ekor

“Tiada bagian dari tubuh manusia kecuali akan hancur (dimakan tanah) kecuali satu tulang, yaitu tulang ekor, darinya manusia dirakit kembali pada hari kiamat” ( HR. Al Bukhari , Nomor : 4935 )

Belasan abad lamanya, hadits tersebut menjadi hal yang gaib yang tidak mungkin bisa dijelaskan dengan logika. Seiring berjalannya waktu beberapa penelitian ilmiah mampu menjelaskan kebenaran hadits tersebut dikemudian hari.

“Dan dia membuat perumpamaan bagi Kami; dan dia lupa kepada kejadiannya; ia berkata: “Siapakah yang dapat menghidupkan tulang belulang, yang telah hancur luluh?” Katakanlah: “Ia akan dihidupkan oleh Tuhan yang menciptakannya kali yang pertama. Dan Dia Maha Mengetahui tentang segala makhluk” (QS. Yasin : 78-79).

Adalah Han Spemann, Ilmuwan Jerman yang berhasil mendapatkan hadiah nobel bidang kedokteran pada tahun 1935. Dalam penelitiannya ia dapat membuktikan bahwa asal mula kehidupan adalah tulang ekor. Darinyalah makhluk hidup bermula. Dalam penelitiannya ia memotong tulang ekor dari sejumlah hewan melata, lalu mengimplantasikan ke dalam embrio Organizer atau pengorganisir pertama.

Pada saat sperma membuahi ovum (sel telur), maka pembentukan janin dimulai. Ketika ovum telah terbuahi (zigot), ia terbelah menjadi dua sel dan terus berkembang biak. Sehingga terbentuklah embryonic disk (lempengan embrio) yang memiliki dua lapisan.

Pertama, External Epiblast yang terdiri dari cytotrophoblasts , berfungsi menyuplai makanan embrio pada dinding uterus, dan menyalurkan nutrisi dari darah dan cairan kelenjar pada dinding uterus.
Sedangkan lapisan kedua, Internal Hypoblast yang telah ada sejak pembentukan janin pertama kalinya. Pada hari ke-15, lapisan sederhana muncul pada bagian belakang embrio dengan bagian belakang yang disebut primitive node (gumpalan sederhana).

Dari sinilah beberapa unsure dan jaringan, seperti ectoderm , mesoderm, dan endoderm terbentuk.

- Ectoderm , membentuk kulit dan sistem syaraf pusat.

- Mesoderm , membentuk otot halus sistim digestive (pencernaan), otot skeletal (kerangka), sistem sirkulasi, jantung, tulang pada bagian kelamin, dan sistem urine (selain kandung kemih), jaringan subcutaneous, sistem limpa, limpa dan kulit luar.

- Sedangkan, Endoderm , membentuk lapisan pada sistim digestive , sistem pernafasan, organ-orang yang berhubungan dengan sistem digestive (seperti hati dan pancreas), kandung kemih, kelenjar thyroid (gondok), dan saluran pendengaran. Gumpalan sederhana inilah yang mereka sebut sebagai TULANG EKOR.

Pada penelitian lain, Han mencoba menghancurkan tulang ekor tersebut. Ia menumbuknya dan merebusnya dengan suhu panas yang tinggi dan dalam waktu yang sangat lama. Setelah menjadi serpihan halus, ia mencoba mengimplantasikan tulang itu pada janin lain yang masih dalam tahap permulaan embrio. Hasilnya, tulang ekor itu tetap tumbuh dan membentuk janin sekunder pada guest body (organ tamu). Meskipun telah ditumbuk dan dipanaskan sedemikian rupa, tulang ini tidak ‘hancur’.

Dr. Othman al Djilani dan Syaikh Abdul Majid juga melakukan penelitian serupa. Pada bulan Ramadhan 1423 H, mereka berdua memanggang tulang ekor dengan suhu tinggi selama 10 menit. Tulang pun berubah, menjadi hitam pekat. Kemudian, keduanya membawa tulang itu ke al Olaki Laboratory, Sana’a, Yaman, untuk dianalisis. Setelah diteliti oleh Dr. al Olaki, profesor bidang histology dan pathologi di Sana’a University, ditemukanlah bahwa sel-sel pada jaringan tulang ekor tidak terpengaruh. Bahkan sel-sel itu dapat bertahan walau dilakukan pembakaran lebih lama.

Lebih dari itu berdasarkan penelitian mutakhir, sebagaimana yang disampaikan oleh Jamil Zaini, Trainer Asia Tenggara Kubik Jakarta ketika mengisi acara bukapuasa bersama di al Azhar-Solo Baru dengan tajuk, “Inspiring Day; Inspiring The Spirit of Life”, tulang ekor ini merekam semua perbuatan anak Adam, dari sejak lahir hingga meninggal dunia. Ia merekam semua perbuatan baik-buruk mereka. Dan perbuatan mereka ini akan berpengaruh pada kondisi tulang ekornya. Putih bersih atau hitam kotor. Semakin banyak energy positif atau kebaikan seseorang maka semakin bersih tulang ekornya, dansemakin banyak energy negative atau keburukan seseorang maka semakin hitamlah tulang ekornya.

Dari sinilah, balasan pada hari kiamat kelak tidak akan pernah tertukar. Dari tulang ekor inilah, manusia akan kembali dicipta, dan mereka akan diberi balasan sesuai dengan kadar amal-amal mereka. Ajaibnya, ini semua sudah disabdakan oleh Nabi berpuluh abad yang lalu.

“Tiada bagian dari tubuh manusia kecuali akan hancur (dimakan tanah) kecuali satu tulang, yaitu tulang ekor, darinya manusia dirakit kembali pada hari kiamat.” (HR. al Bukhari, nomor 4935).

Hadits senada juga diriwayatkan oleh Imam Muslim (nomor 2955),

Dari Abu Hurairah, bahwa Rasulullah Shallallâhu alaihi wa sallam bersabda,”Seluruh bagian tubuh anak Adam akan (hancur) dimakan tanah kecuali tulang ekor, darinya tubuh diciptakan dan dengannya dirakit kembali.”

Dari petunjuk hadist di atas, Ilmuwan muslim pada paruh kedua abad ke-20 telah mendasarkan pemahaman mereka mengenai kemukjizatan hadis tentang tulang ekor ini pada kaidah pengetahuan yang paling dasar, yaitu “Tulang ekor merupakan bagian pertama yang tumbuh dari janin, biasa disebut dengan primitive streak, yaitu bagian utama yang terbentuk pada minggu ketiga”.

“Akan Kami tunjukkan kepada mereka ayat-ayat (tanda-tanda kekuasaan) Kami pada alam dan pada diri mereka sendiri, sehingga jelas bagi mereka bahwa Al-Quran itu benar. Dan apakah Tuhanmu tidak cukup (bagi kamu) bahwa sesungguhnya Dia menyaksikan segala sesuatu?” (Fushshilat: 53)

Wallahu alam bish showab.

Banjir Besar Nabi Nuh Diungkap Oleh Peneliti

Kisah tentang Nabi Nuh dan banjir besar merupakan kisah paling terkenal yang bersumber dari kitab Yahudi, Nasrani, juga Islam. Beberapa tim ahli arkeologi bawah air mengungkap bahwa mereka berhasil membuktikan kisah Nuh dan banjir besar itu.

Robert Ballard, ahli arkeologi bawah air yang sudah dikenal dunia, mengaku timnya telah menelusuri kedalaman Laut Hitam di sekitar Turki. Ini dilakukan untuk mencari bekas peradaban yang tersimpan di dasar laut, yang terpendam sejak masa Nabi Nuh.

Seperti diberitakan ABC News, selama ini Ballard memiliki rekam jejak untuk berhasil menemukan hal-hal yang dianggap mustahil. Pada 1985, dengan menggunakan robot yang dilengkapi pengendali jarak jauh, Ballard dan timnya menelusuri sisa reruntuhan Titanic.

Sekarang Ballard pun menggunakan teknologi robotik yang lebih canggih untuk mencari jejak Nabi Nuh. Menurut dia, dunia pada 12.000 tahun lalu terselimuti es. Namun, dia tetap berusaha mencari jejak Nabi Nuh.

Menurut Ballard, Laut Hitam dulu merupakan danau air tawar yang dikelilingi kawasan pertanian. Tapi, kemudian gletser mencair pada saat temperatur Bumi semakin menghangat pada 5600 SM, yang mengakibatkan terbentuknya sejumlah lautan.

Inilah yang mengakibatkan terjadinya banjir besar di sebagian besar kawasan dunia. Air itu kemudian mengalir melalui Selat Bosporus dari Turki, untuk kemudian menuju Laut Hitam.

“Kami bicara tentang banjir di sejarah hidup manusia. Pertanyaannya adalah, apakah ada induk dari semua banjir yang terjadi saat itu?” tutur Ballard.

Penelitian Ballard ini dilakukan mengikuti kajian yang dilakukan William Ryan dan Walter Pitman. Mereka menggambar bukti arkeologi dan antropologi, yang menyebut “10 kubik mil air dituangkan setiap hari”, yang terjadi selama 300 hari.

Menurut Ryan dan Pittman, lebih dari 60.000 mil persegi daratan terendam banjir. Lalu, permukaan air danau meningkat hingga ratusan kaki, dan memicu migrasi massal hewan-hewan di seluruh Eropa. Kekuatan air sebesar 200 kali air terjun Niagara ini kemudian menyapu seluruh permukaan daratan. Karena itu, danau tersebut pun kemudian berubah menjadi air asin.

Para ilmuwan ini pun mengaku telah melakukan penanggalan karbon dan penggambaran sonar, untuk membuktikan bencana banjir Nuh itu.

“Kami ke sana untuk mencari banjir,” ucap Ballard. “Tidak hanya bergerak secara perlahan, yang menyebabkan meningkatnya air laut. Tapi, juga banjir besar yang kemudian menutup daratan,” kata Ballard.

Tim ini pun mengklaim telah menemukan garis pantai purba yang dipercaya sebagai bukti kisah Nuh itu. Dengan penanggalan karbon terhadap kerang yang ditemukan, maka pantai itu diperkirakan berasal dari 5000 SM.

Tapi, Ballard mengaku kesulitan untuk menemukan bahtera Nuh. Ballard hanya mengaku memiliki kemungkinan untuk menemukan masyarakat yang tersapu banjir pada 7000 tahun lalu itu.

“Sepertinya bodoh untuk berpikir bisa menemukan bahtera itu,” ucapnya. “Tapi apakah bisa menemukan masyarakat yang pernah hidup di situ? Apakah bisa menemukan perkampungan yang sekarang berada di bawah laut? Jawabannya tentu saja ‘ya’,” tutur Ballard.

10 Kunci Sukses Membina Rumah Tangga



Berikut 10 kunci sukses membina rumah tangga :
1. Jangan melihat ke belakang terutama dengan membandingkan dengan masa lalu. Hidup adalah kenyataan hari ini dan bukan di masa lalu.

2. Berpikir objektif dan positif
Jangan pernah su’udz zhan, dan berburuk sangka. Sikapi masalah dgn bijak dan penuh hikmah.

3. Lihat kelebihan pasangan, jangan sebaliknya
Untuk menumbuhkan rasa optimistis, lihatlah kelebihan pasangan kita. Jangan sebaliknya, mengungkit-ungkit kekurangan yang dimiliki.

4. Saling percaya
Tanpa rasa saling percaya antara pasangan suami-istri, perkawinan tentu tak akan berjalan mulus. Membangun rasa saling percaya juga merupakan perwujudan cinta yang dewasa.

5. Memenuhi Kebutuhan Seksual
Prinsip hubungan seks yang baik adalah adanya keterbukaan dan kejujuran dalam mengungkapkan kebutuhan Anda masing-masing. Intinya, kegiatan seks adalah untuk saling memuaskan, namun perlu dihindari adanya kesan mengeksploitasi pasangan. Kegiatan seks yang menyenangkan akan memberikan dampak positif bagi Anda berdua.

6. Hindari pihak ketiga
Kehidupan perkawinan merupakan otonomi tersendiri, yang sebaiknya tak dicampuri oleh pihak lain, apalagi pihak ketiga. Kehadiran pihak ketiga yang ikut campur tangan atau mempengaruhi dan masuk ke wilayah otoritas keluarga, bisa menciptakan bencana bagi rumah tangga tersebut.

7. Menjaga romantisme
Terkadang, pasangan suami-istri yang sudah cukup lama membangun mahligai rumah tangga tak lagi peduli pada soal yang satu ini. Tak ada kata-kata pujian, makan malam bersama, bahkan perhatian pun seperti barang mahal. Padahal, menjaga romantisme dibutuhkan oleh pasangan suami-istri sampai kapan pun, tak cuma ketika mereka berpacaran.

8. Adakan selalu komunikasi
Komunikasi juga merupakan salah satu pilar langgengnya hubungan suami-istri. Hilangnya komunikasi berarti hilang pula salah satu pilar rumah tanga.

9. Saling memuji dan memperhatikan
Pasangan Anda perlu untuk dihargai. Memuji tak butuh biaya atau ongkos mahal. Yang dibutuhkan adalah ketulusan dan rasa cinta pada pasangan.

10. Sertakan sakralitas dalam rumah tangga
Salah satu pijakan yang paling utama seorang rela berumah tangga adalah karena adanya ketaatan pada syariat Allah. Karena itu, jagalah kesakralannya.

Semoga kita termasuk keluarga yang sakinah, mawaddah, warahmah. AAmiin

Renungan… Tetap HUSNUDZON kepada ALLAH apapun yg terjadi



Nabi NUH A.s belum tahu banjir akan datang ketika ia membuat kapal & ditertawai kaumnya..

Nabi IBRAHIM A.s belum tahu akan tersedia domba ketika pisau nyaris memenggal buah hatinya..Nabi MUSA A.s belum tahu laut akan terbelah saat dia diperintah
memukulkan tongkatnya..

Nabi MUHAMMAD SAW pun belum tahu kalau Madinah adalah Kota Tersebarnya Ajaran
yang dibawanya saat beliau diperintahkan berhijrah..

Yang Mereka Tahu adalah bahwa Mereka harus Patuh pada perintah ALLAH SWT dan
tanpa berhenti Berharap yang Terbaik..

Ternyata dibalik ketidaktahuan kita, ALLAH telah menyiapkan SURPRISE saat kita menunaikan perintah-NYA..

Biasanya Tangan-tangan ALLAH Bekerja didetik-detik Terakhir dalam Usaha Hamba-Nya..

So, Never Give Up, Do your best…

Kalaupun Hasil Yang kita Usahakan Jauh dari Harapan bahkan Menyakitkan, Jangan kita
berkecil hati…

Karena Sering ALLAH mencintai kita dengan cara2 yang kita benci…

Tetap HUSNUDZON kepada ALLAH apapun yg terjadi..

ALLAH berfirman: “Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu, padahal ia amat baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi pula kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagimu Allah mengetahui sedang kamu tidak mengetahui.”
(Qs. Al Baqarah : 216)

Sahabatku..point penting nya kadang kala..para nabi,para aulia,guru guru kita..lebih mendahulukan taat kpd Allah dari pada melihat akal pikirnya..satu bentuk kepasrahaan kpd perintah-tanpa tau apa yg akan terjadi nanti,seorang hamba..yg terpilih-telah rela & ikhlas kpd apa- pun yg dituliskan oleh YG Maha Pemurah dlm hidupNya
Bagaimana dg perintah sholat, sodakoh,memberi makan fakir miskin,sholat malam.. Haji…subhanallah..jangan 2 ini adalah awal – dari..keajaiban..dari Allah untuk kita.. Selamat.. Ber amal..

What Are Your Roots


DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT BELOW YOUR ROOTS...!!!

SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS TO SEE THEIR ROOTS...!!

One Day I Decided To Quit


I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality… I wanted to quit my life.

I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

“God”, I asked,

“Can you give me one good reason not to quit?”.

His answer surprised me…

“Look around”, He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo?”

“Yes”, I replied.

“When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.

I gave them light.I gave them water.The fern quickly grew from the earth.

Its brilliant green covered the floor.Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.

And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.

“In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.But I would not quit.

In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit.” He said.

“Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant…But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.

It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.”

He asked me. “Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots”.

“I would not quit on the bamboo.I will never quit on you.”

“Don’t compare yourself to others.” He said.”The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern.

Yet they both make the forest beautiful.”"Your time will come”, God said to me.

“You will rise high”.

“How high should I rise?” I asked.

“How high will the bamboo rise?” He asked in return.

“As high as it can?” I questioned.”Yes.” He said, “Give Me glory by rising as high as you can.”

I left the forest and brought back this story.I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on

you.Never, Never, Never, Give up in life.

Don’t tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

Jangan Mengubur Harapan, Ucapan Perkataan dan Pikiran Kita Mempengaruhi Keberhasilan Kita

motivasi, cerita motivasi, carita inspirasi

Mari kita renungi, mungkin sering kita ucapkan atau setidaknya kita sering mendengar suatu ungkapan. Ungkapan tersebut berbunyi “Ah, uang dari mana untuk membelinya?” Perkataan ini keluar saat orang tersebut merasa tidak punya uang untuk membeli kebutuhannya. Ada juga yang mengatakan, “Bukannya tidak mau mengkuliahkan anak, tetapi uang dari mana?” Dan berbagai uangkapan senada lainnya. Apakah ini menjadi masalah?

Tentu saja. Ada beberapa implikasi dari ungkapan ini yang sebenarnya tidak baik untuk keberhasilan kita. Jika terus saja kita mengucapkan kalimat seperti ini, bisa jadi akan menghambat keberhasilan kita dalam hidup.

Pertama , kita mendahului ketentuan Allah. Kata siapa kita tidak akan punya uang terus? Boleh saja kita tidak memiliki uang saat ini, tetapi bukan berarti tidak akan punya uang selamanya. Bisa saja besok atau lusa kita akan mendapatkan uang. Bisa saja Allah sudah merencanakan rezeki buat kita, kita tidak pernah tahu.

Kedua , jika dilihat dari segi Hukum Daya Tarik, kalimat tersebut tidak mencerminkan proses penerimaan. Bagaimana Anda bisa menarik apa yang Anda inginkan jika Anda tidak dalam kondisi menerima?

Ketiga , melemahkan motivasi. Jika kita sudah mengatakan bahwa kita tidak akan mendapatkannya maka kita akan kehilangan motivasi untuk mendapatkan keinginan kita. Meskipun, Anda boleh berkata bahwa itu hanya basa basi, tetapi pikiran bawah sadar kita tidak mengetahui apakah itu basa basi atau serius.

Ungapan tersebut sama dengan kita mengubur harapan kita sendiri. Meski hanya sebagian harapan kita yang terkubur, tetap saja memberikan kontribusi dalam mengurangi motivasi diri kita.

Mulai sekarang, marilah kita lebih memperhatikan apa yang kita katakan. Ucapan, perkataan, perbincangan, dan pikiran kita mempengaruhi keberhasilan kita. Sadar atau tidak sadar, tetapi hal ini terjadi. Alangkah baiknya jika kita ganti dengan kata-kata yang lebih positif.

Misalnya: “Insya Allah, kita akan mendapatkannya, Insya Allah, kita bisa membelinya.”

dan berbagai kalimat positif lainnya yang memberikan harapan positif kepada kita.

Brilliant Ex Wife's Stinky Revenge



After 37 years of marriage. Jake dumped his wife for his Young secretary.

His new girlfriend demanded that they live in Jake and Edith’s multi million dollar home and since the man’s lawyers were a little better he prevailed.

He gave Edith his now ex-wife just 3 days to move out. She spent the 1st day packing her belongings into boxes crates and suitcases.

On the 2nd day she had to movers come and collect her things.

On the 3rd day she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp a jar of caviar and a bottle of Chardonnay.

When she had finished she went into each and every room and stuffed half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of all of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

When the husband returned with his new girlfriend all was bliss for the first few days.



Then slowly the house began to smell. They tried everything cleaning mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even replaced the expensive wool carpeting. NOTHING WORKED.

People stopped coming over to visit. Repairman refused to work in the house. The Maid quit.

Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.

A month later even through they had cut their price in half they could not find a buyer for their stinky house.

Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls.

Finally they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back.

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was… he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house ha been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home.

INCLUDING THE CURTAIN RODS. :)

Funny Story - Five Lessons of life
Lesson 1:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the administration clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof!

Lesson 2:

A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 3:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.

…A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.

Lesson 4: 
Power of Charisma
A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

Lesson 5:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut !

TWENTY DOLLARS


A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. “Who would like this $20 bill?”

Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you – but first, let me do this.”

He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.

“Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the
ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?”

Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No
matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by …WHO WE ARE.

You are special – don’t ever forget it.”

Body Language Tips to Tell if Someone is Lying


Honesty is always the best policy but not everyone uses it. People lie often for personal gain, cheat someone, or to simply play a prank on friends. Our body language speaks about us, and no matter how hard we try to hide the truth it will come out one day. Positive med has signs and body language indicators that can help you figure out truth from lies.

1. Lack of or too much eye contact
The biggest indicator someone is telling a lie is lack of or too much eye contact. Its a common belief that when people lie they avoid eye contact and look elsewhere. While this is often true, some liars make too much eye contact just to make you believe they are speaking the truth.

2. Foot movement
When people lie they often exhibit signs of nervousness or anxiety. Foot movement is the biggest indicator of anxiety and nervousness. Liars often shake their legs or make regular leg movements to avoid tension and run away. This can be used as a clear-cut clue to catch a liar.

3. Shorter responses
This is a verbal clue displayed when people lie. When lying people often stay silent during the conversation or offer shorter responses. They also use more ums, ers, and ahs to fill in the gaps. If a person is making more speech errors its an indication of lack of truth.

4. Change in pitch
If you observe someone communicating in higher pitch than normal it can be a sign of lying. Some people also maintain lower than normal pitch. High or low pitch indicates there is something off.

5. Shoulder shrugs
People often shrug their shoulders when they don’t know or agree to something. If someone is shrugging while speaking it may indicate they don’t agree with what is coming out of their own mouth.

6. Too much sweating
Some sweat excessively when they lie. This abnormal sweating happens because of the adrenalin rush from anxiety and nervousness.

7. Changing the Subject
The thought process required to support a lie should be fast. Not everyone has fast thought processes so they change the subject to something completely different.

8. Fidgeting
When people lie they often touch objects lying around to relieve stress. Some people might act as if they are more interested in the object than the conversation to avoid confrontation.

9. Face touching
Studies have found that when people lie, they often rub their nose. It’s a scientific observation, experts believe the adrenaline rush opens the capillaries of the nose making it itchy. Some people also cover their mouth and eyes while lying, this is an uncommon observation.

10. Excessive lip licking
Lying puts stress on our body and the biggest indicator of body stress is a dry mouth. In order to rectify the dry mouth, liars are often observed licking their lips often.

Unless the liar very staunchly believes in his/her lie, the above mentioned points should easily help you in spotting a liar.

The Suitcase

A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way out.
A man died, when he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.
- God said: Alright son its time to go.
- surprised the man responded: Now? So soon? I had a lot of plans...
- I'm sorry but its time to go.

- What do you have in that suitcase? the man asked.
- God answered: Your belongings.
- My belongings? you mean my things, my clothes, my money?
- God answered: Those things were not yours they belonged to the earth.

- Is it my memories? the man asked.
- God answered: those never belonged to you they belonged to Time

- Is it my talents?
- God answered: those were never yours they belonged to the circumstances.

- Is it my friends and family?
- God answered: I'm sorry they were never yours they belonged to the path.

- Is it my wife and son?
- God answered: They were never yours the belonged to your heart.

- Is it my body?
- God answered: that was never yours it belonged to the dust.

- Is it my soul?
- God answered: No that is mine.

Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from god and opened it just to find out the suitcase was empty.
- With a tear coming down his cheek the man said: I never had anything???
- God answered: that is correct, every moment you lived were only for yours. You never lived for somebody who is not related to u in any way.

Moral:

Do something for other people who cant return the favour back to you. Life is just a moment. A moment that belongs to you.

- Live Now
- Live your life
- Don't forget to be happy and make others happy, as that is the only thing that matters.
- Material things and everything else that you fought for stay here.
- YOU CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING
