Universe is a place that everything live in it. We can not bargain before born in this universe, what are we wanto to be, what is our nationality, who is our parents and what is our skin. Because those all are the gift from our God. It is not mean we give up of our life, but to be life in this universe is the gift, so just do our live well. Don’t judge our God because the different is willingness from our God. Don’t judge our parents as the cause of our existence in this universe, just spread peace as the chaliph and do the best for our live, and people surrounding us.
Love is one words that has much means, and love is cause of everything. I am an infinite source of power that hidden. I would like (love) is known. So I create Universe. Because of (love) me, they know me. Love is a central and principal of system living human. God Said.
God create man and woman to be caliph in this universe, they are given the duty to manage well this universe. Not just man is given the duty, not only women is given duty but both of them have action to keep everything. Such as keep the order, nature, and peace without look at block of primordial, skin, religion, tribe, and language.
Love is peace, peace is love. I know every human has heart and don’t want hurt each other, if someone hurt each other it means they don’t understand about what is love and what is peace. I think if everybody could love their couple, why not they could not love each other.
Now, we are not talking about the different among us in this world, but who we are in this world? What for we are live in the same universe?
When the violence occur because of religion, is it mean the religion wrong? Sure, it is not wrong, even the wrong is people that feel they are the best in religion life. When the violence occur because of the tribes, is it mean God as our creator wrong when he decide to create difference tribes? Of course it is not wrong, on the contrary the people who feel their tribe is the best tribe in this universe and others tribe is wrong, inferior, and don’t proper to be respected. When the violence occur because of skin, is it mean our skin is causing the violence? So, who is wrong? no, we are not wrong with our different skin, but someone that can not respect the different of our skin can not receive different. Is the different of everything is wrong? of course not. Because the beauty of different could show the power of our God.  Nothing wrong in this universe. Love every different among us.
Man and women have the same action in this universe. Not only women that must keep order, but also man has the same action. If man and woman cooperation keeping our world it must be best result. So that, to reach world peace nowadays needs corporate all civil society of world.
In my experience, Indonesia has much tribes, traditional languages, culturals and religions such as Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, Christianity, Protestan, Konguchu, and local faith. But here people respect each other because we life in same nation. Indonesia is not for white or coloured people, not just for Islam or christianity as the majority religion, but Indonesia is for Indonesia, who are live and respect each other and keep peace in Indonesia. I love Indonesia, because here full of love and everything cause of  love. Every memorial day of each religions is holiday here to respect others. Peace is respect and love each other, don’t care what is the sex, religion, skin, tribe, language and so on of people surrounding us. Peace is right of everyone in this universe, and finally, we are same as creation of God, no one different, scattered peace in this world for better atmosphere in universe, and peace greeting from Indonesia.

Leadership in Student Organization: Leader Mentality Starts From Our Mind

Gambar
Taken from: http://www.yourtrainingedge.com By: E. Ova Siti Sofwatul Ummah Leading or to be lead is sure thing in our life. When we choose to be leader it is means, we are ready to give orders, directs, and even to be criticized. In another hand, when we choose tobe a follower, it means we can accept orders, directs, and deliver our opinion to the leader and public. In this writting, I would like to describe about the leadership in student organization as the miniature of the social life that teach students to have leader mentality start from their mind. Leadership since ancient times has been discussed by scholars. They express some definitions and theories about leadership. However they did not find an agreemnt on leadership. Leadership is a process of leader to create a vision and interaction each other, influencing followers to realize the vision (Wirawan, 2014: 6). Leader will not be called as leader if no group to be led, beside it, the leader must have ability ...

        Sumber Gambar: legacyinwords.wordpress.com Oleh: E. Ova Siti Sofwatul Ummah Tulisan ini membahas tentang fenomena kejahatan yang mengatasnamakan kehormatan di Timur Tengah. Secara sederhana tulisan ini diupayakan selain untuk melihat tindakan kejahatannya, juga untuk mengenali bahwa tindak kejahatan di balik dalih menjaga dan menghormati perempuan di Kawasan Timur Tengah, juga terdapat bentuk penindasan terhadap perempuan itu sendiri. Mengapa hanya perempuan yang dituntut menjaga diri (kesucian/keperawanan) bahkan menjadi simbol kehormatan keluarga, sedangkan laki-laki tidak dituntut hal yang sama. Crimes of Honor  berarti kejahatan yang mengatasnamakan kehormatan menjadi sorotan utama dalam artikel ini. Menurut Lama Abu Odeh (Mai Yamani (ed.) 2000:206), Crimes of Honor adalah pembunuhan perempuan oleh Ayah atau saudara laki-laki karena terlibat atau disangka terlibat dalam praktik-praktik seksual sebelum atau di luar nikah.
