Kill the myths and the simplification of the history of the causes of false dreams
by: Fajar Sastrowijoyo
from small we often crammed with myths and simplifications cerita2 miraculous by the fact that parents, teachers, and this akhir2 MOTIVATOR2 that makes us think that there is a miracle in the world and the world is like a fairy tale, there is a miracle in the world that makes everyone could be whatever they want without exception. And cerita2 are widespread and eventually many believed to be the FACT that you can use to defend themselves against the lack of self. Well, now that we‘re a big, then I will review some of the myth that it is actually false. Let us start from
1. The idea may just show up magically
from istockphoto.com
Story: Newton discovered the theory of gravity because of the fall apple.
everyone must have heard this story from the first time to learn the gravity of time elementary school teacher / junior high school we explained excitedly how this theory is found:
on a sunny day, Newton was sitting in the yard of Cambridge university, probably while melihat2 gadis2 english enjoy the summer, when tiba2 an apple fell on his head. And EUREKA! of apple magic tiba2 out ideas about gravity and magically out the formula F = G (m1 * m2) / r2 which revolutionized science.
All Because of one silly apple,,,, and the story is often used by motivator2 to say that you can also get great ideas tiba2 that could change your life.
The truth is, the story of the apple never heard of Newton himself. Falling apple story was first found in the Elements de la Philosophie de Newton written by Voltaire, published in 1738, 11 years after Newton’s death and 73 years after the disebut2 apple fell. We know that the days of old cerita2 like this are often included to increase the dramatic effect of benar2 something happen, to attract readers, of course, something that has never changed from the media. And we know that Voltaire was not a scientist, he was a philosopher, who, of course adept at dramatizing the story.
The second source is the biography of Newton by William Stukely, written in 1752 (27 years after Newton’s death), within 27 years after we die, someone who could have got millions of popular myth, one of which is taken as fact.
In my opinion, this is what actually might happen. We know that Galileo Galilei start a revolution theory of gravity since the early 17th century, changing the human view that the acceleration of gravity is not affected by the weight of the object. Starting from then, all the mathematicians who are interested in gravity trying to make a new teori2 about gravity. Newton is one of them. He became interested in thinking about gravity in the end 1660an, and of research and hard work over the past 20 years (yeah 20, keep it in mind), finally in 1687 he became the first person who issued the famous theory of universal gravitation that.
So Newton was the one who thought things seriously and work hard to improve his theory, not the ordinary people who somehow got the idea because of the fall tiba2 apples and wrote his theory in a short time. Want to know how hard they work? Newton worked too hard and at the end of his life became a bit odd and eccentric. After death, an autopsy found that the body contains too much mercury, which may be due diligence work on research into alchemy. This is what might cause strange behavior in the final days.
Why cerita2 about this hard work received less attention than the story of an apple? Well, people like dramas and magic, and instant success. Everyone loves Surgery Homes and Money Shocked right?

2. Can not math? You still can be a reliable scientist!
from forum.xcitefun.net
Story: Einstein never considered stupid because they do not understand math
I often hear this excuse from teman2 after working on a math test. That childhood in Wurttemberg, Einstein often failed in mathematics and such do not understand. Looks like this is the basis for that “oh, ok, I really can not ngerjain exam earlier, but even Einstein had not either, right? so chill out, if Einstein could be an Einstein, I can also become a sejenius and successful as Einstein! “
The truth is, there never was evidence to support this claim. This story is not clear from whom and eventually evolved into the “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” And at that time Einstein was still alive, so when someone shows that column, she laughed and said,
“I never failed in mathematics. Before I was Fifteen i had mastered differential and integral calculus. “
Holy Shit. Differential and integral calculus. Horrible.
Einstein never failed math. In fact he is a math Prodigy,, mathematical genius. For all those who had high school education, all of course know the differential, and some are quite clever may also learn the concept of integral. Two concepts are very difficult, so many people do not want to enter for fear of techniques to learn more. Hell, I am a technical and I need 1 year at a university to understand what it benar2 differential and integral, and it has not entered into the multiple integrals, Stokes theorem, Gaussian surface, integrals of differential forms, … .. ok i quit before you vomit.
Einstein to learn it all before 15 years, and before 12 years he has proved himself that the Pythagorean theorem is true, using the theory he created his own.
Whew. Age 15 years in Indonesia is the middle school. Age senang2nya bermain2, the band, going out, try memalak, cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana, a fight, so frontman, trying to dress like Kurt Cobain, Jeremy Thomas or That Girl in Meteor Garden, watching porn for the first time, and maybe masturbate. If there’s integral and differential learning in life that much? I’m sure he’ll be bullied by big scoundrel earnest kids and people call him, “FREAK !!!!”
I believe there has been no in between teman2 me who understands what it is differential and integral during junior high. At that time we might all still meraba2 arithmetic and basic geometry, and have never heard the word “integral” unless the name of the game Metal Gear Solid: Integral.
3. No need to school to become a successful entrepreneur who created something
Story: Bill Gates and Steve Jobs dropped out of school
Aahhh, favorite stories and business motivator2 pemberontak2 who say school is important ga ^ ^
No need to tell me here. All the people in the 21st century who could read would have never heard how long story rivals Bill Gates and Steve Jobs dropped out of school and made 2 of the most influential companies in the early 21st century.
This story is true, but usually greatly oversimplified. They forgot some important details in cerita2 it and only describe, “See, people can be successful ga college and become either one of the richest in the world.“ Yes. You can. But read this first.
Bill Gates is a genius. In grade 8 (approximately ages 13-14, that in Indonesia may be new SMP), Gates began programming computers at his school using BASIC language. He and three friends were employed by the Computer Center Corporation (CCC) to find bugs in their software. He used this time to learn bahasa2 FORTRAN, LISP, and machine language. At age 17, Gates make a traffic counter to use the Intel 8008.
In 1973 he took the SAT (UAN in the U.S.) and the 1590 score of 1600 (see what a genius he is, if converted into value NEM how tuh hahaha). He signed up at Harvard and in the first year he was able to create a new algorithm is very fast and become the fastest version of the algorithm that for 30 years. Armed with all this knowledge he created a company called Micro–Soft. Perhaps a childhood satu2nya more genius than that only this person:
from http://www.forevergeek.com
Well, for those who understand computers, the ability of him in 1973 at the age of 18 years may have exceeded engineer2 S1 graduate computer today. And that was 1973. Remember. 1973.
Rival, Steve Jobs, about the same. Left high school, he was employed by Hewlett–Packard as summer employee. And even though he quit college, he still went to college and learn kelas2 variety of things. 2 years after that, he was accepted as a technician at Atari.
With the knowledge far exceeds S1 degree like that, of course they can make something without following the lecture. They dropped out of college because they can make something big and change the world. They are geniuses with Dedication and work–hardiness.
Yup, it really does not need tinggi2 school, but with a note, you must have a skill that is much higher than high school graduates who must be nurtured from childhood. They spend the summer with fiddling with the computer. What we do at the end of a long holiday than to go play junior with teman2, read comics, play PES or Winning Eleven, courtship, the band, take a trip to Bali and mencari2 parental porn movie? (the which is pretty new and interesting at those age) ^ ^
But there are more extreme stories are often also used:
from 3.bp.blogspot.com
Second story: Thomas Edison dropped out of school
Edison is considered to be an idiot and only last 3 months in primary school, became a powerful businessman and scientist who discovered the light bulb, phonograph, motion picture camera, etc., make the first industrial research laboratory, patented in U.S. patent in 1093, and established that one of them still perusahaan2 survive as a big company in this period, General Electric (GE).
Seems like magic? No. Big NO.
Edison is considered an idiot because he was suffering from disorders. Some modern people define it as an ADD (ADHD–PI), but in essence he can not be silent, always ask, and rarely focus on a thing as too much that he wanted to know (Musical genius now instead of stupid?). Finally, although no school, his mother taught him at home. Edison bought buku2 like “School of Natural Philosophy“ and “The Cooper Union“ that his knowledge far beyond her years. This resulted in Edison’s understanding of science with the breadth and depth unlike anak2 age. Edison already has an mini research lab as a child.
The young wizard from 3.bp.blogspot.com
And the story about the discovery of the light bulb? Well, rarely do that emphasize just how hard and the weight of Edison’s work for it. In fact Edison is not the first to find the light bulb, but he perfected the design and material so that the bulbs are cheap and can be used comfortably. The process covers trying different materials and designs for its light source, the process is more or less like a “trial and error” based teori2. Yup. Edison uses more than 3000 theory to percobaan2nya. And after 2 full years of struggle have finally found the right combination. Carbonized bamboo filament. Carbonated bamboo filament.
Now, for orang2 has ever felt the research world, all would know the process. In researching something, we use several theories (read: paper), usually 2 to 4 papers and mencoba2 teori2 it for several months and possibly years. If successful lucky, if unlucky ya fail. Well, now imagine Edison who use 3000 to do research papers in 2 years. We can not read the 3000 paper in 2 years without ecstasy or cannabis and high every day. Oh, well, maybe he did That to succeed!
Good Conclusion
So after reading all the stories above, and realize that even today we can not do calculus, can not get near perfect NEM or worked at Hewlett-Packard during the junior or senior high school, whether we will surrender to fate and accept the “common man” ?
Well, you forget kata2 second largest number after the myths in this article. Kata2 second most is working hard (see? I put a lot of those). How did Newton get a theory of gravity? Working hard for 20 years. How did Gates get all his knowledge about computer? The hard work of a small computer learning. Where did Einstein get the supremacy of maths and physics? Learn mathematics from a small diligently. Where Edison invented the light bulb? 3000 theory in 2 years. Try that.
Although it probably would eliminate hal2 beribu2 pleasure our adolescence. Do we ever hear that Bill Gates is the son of fashionable slang that dressed like Marlon Brando? Or That Einstein Had many girlfriends or was a Womanizer / playboy? Surely We Never Heard Edison Smokin marijuana and get wasted. We never heard of Steve Jobs to play games every day on vacation, and Newton did not even have a wife in his life. But if you feel That the success and glory is worth the sacrifice, there’s a good advice:
If you like something, anything it is, and you Dedicate your life to it, struggle hard, work hard, it will of worth something in the end.
Note: I do not recommend death for mercury poisoning. And I would not recommend forcing your child to understand the integral and differential before age 15. Do not. It would be bad for their social life and self confidence.

For example they argue that with increasing age so they grow wise. Levy also showed that in cultures that have a more positive view of aging than the culture in the United States or in other western countries, elderly people get better value in the memory test.
In addition, research shows that elderly people with positive perceptions of aging lived 7.5 years longer than people who have negative perceptions. Even hearing loss also can be predicted based on the perception of that person.

Why drink in a tall glass endless feeling fast? marketing psychology
Influence of object shape in perception (sense of) human beings have been studied extensively. Examples of the resulting triangular-shaped object perceived as broader than the rectangular-shaped object, rectangular-shaped object perceived wider than circle-shaped object, and objects are elongated (extended) is greater than the less elongated object. Though the object is the same volume.
Raghubir and Krishna shows that the elongation positive effect on perceptions about the capacity of the glass. They also showed that there was an influence on the volume pouring drinks in glass because the glass terelongasi berpersepsi that has a larger volume. Rationalization of this research indicate that elongation create expectations of greater volume, whereas this is not recognized / influenced by the experience of consuming the drinks.
There were three studies conducted to test this. The study wanted to know the effect of elongation on pouring drinks made by the children, adults, and bartenders, as well as how perceptions (feelings) about the volume of poured drink.
Study was conducted using experimental design. Some people fit the criteria of the study (children, adults, and bartenders) were asked to pour drinks in different glasses. The first glass is a tall slender glasses (tall–Slender), while the second glass is a short fat glass (shrot–wide), which both have the same volume. Hypothesis testing was conducted using ANOVA.
The results are as follows:
Conclusion:
– Studies show that it is going good influence on children, adults, and the bartender, despite his bias is different.
– This is one of the scientific application of psychology in marketing. Where can we take advantage of consumer perception of the volume of drinks with the engineering of glass
– Effects that can be used by producers or traders based on the results of this study is to make customers more satisfied with the engineering of a high glass–slim.
How to deal with the Intelligent Customer
These are constraints and difficulties in dealing cunstomer especially in the field of marketing web designers.
Classic complaint of the web designers are annoyed that arrive – arrived a client asked him to replace the web design because it is less appropriate. This often happens when we face the typical client who is difficult to work together. Whereas for sites that client orders have been done a long and tiring.
Of course this should not be taken with a negative attitude, however klienlah that provides jobs for web designers. Perhaps it feels annoyed the hell out. How not, the website of our clients have been considered perfectly both in terms of content and suitability of layout design support. To produce these two things is not easy, we generally take several days to translate the client’s desire to implement them in design.But after all these classic complaint as much as possible we avoid.
Ask and Understand Clients DesireThere is a good idea before starting to design our website to ask a rough idea what the client wants. You can start by looking at logo design, color association (in the brochure, catalog, to the design of office space), then ask whether the design concept that your clients want, simple, techie, perhaps exclusive or other concepts.
You are lucky if we find that clients have a reference site. This will facilitate the process of translating the client’s wishes. From the reference site could be asked what makes your clients love it, of course within the context of design.
Record all results of discussions with the client so you do not forget. Better yet, if you have created a standard form that the contents can facilitate you in making a website design for clients.
However Customer is KingThis proverb is very popular and his philosophy has been to deliver thousands of companies to the summit a success because it is able to serve and understand the client well. But keep in mind that the King also need an advisor. Provide advice to clients if you think the choice of design does not fit with the concept, or the color selection may cause the design does not match the content. Position yourself as the best advisors that will slowly create an emotional closeness. This makes the client more easily controlled.
Ask Some AlternativesIf you have to understand the true wishes of the client, create several alternative designs in accordance with the wishes of the client. Enter ideas – new ideas in it separately so that the client is not fixated on their preferences. Present well about the design – your design is. It helps clients understand and obtain a more precise picture of the website will be created.
Stay Cold face changesAsk and make sure whether your website is correct – correctly in accordance with the wishes of the client. Face it with change requests wisely. Navigate to your desired changes do not disrupt the design concept that has been made. Adapt your client’s wishes into your design so well that these changes can increase the value of websites created.
On TimeThis is a reflection of your professionalism. Do not ever think that the client needs you, but you is in need of clients. But keep in mind that our client must also keep accurate time. Setbacks time due to late delivery of content often makes us upset. Manage time available in the project carefully.
Give GuaranteeYou leeway in giving a specific time limit for clients to make minor changes after the website published will be greatly appreciated. But of course, that period shall be limited accordingly.
Believe that the concept of marketing without marketing is quite powerful. If clients are satisfied with your work this time, he will refer you to someone else. Thus clients can contribute to market since the professionalism you’ve no doubt.

4 Character’s Need to be shunned
Good friends always make us laugh, providing input for the sake of our progress, and always in love and sorrow. A good friend becomes a place to share. However, not everyone has the best interests at heart.
There are friends who you think is good, it turns out to have bad intent. Beneath the good attitude, they can keep something hidden.
As quoted from page She Knows, if you feel suspicious about the attitude of a friend, or always negative thinking time with him, you should first identify the four characteristics that you should stay away from friends:
Bad 1.PengaruhA good friend should help you grow as a person of good and away from fear and the wrong decision. However, there are friends who make you do things that are not supposed to do or encourage you to take wrong decisions.
There is also a friend who invites you with her foray into negative actions. Friends like this do not deserve is around you. Associating with people who can give good influence for you.
2. Always complainingThere are friends who never see the positive side of every situation. If you met her, she always complained. Not only complaint on a case but to everything, from work, family, until about food.
Perhaps the complaints of certain problems can still be tolerated. However, if you continue attacked by a variety of complaints and problems that are not necessary even to exaggerate the problem, it only adds to the mind, frustrating and exhausting your life. In fact, you do not have a chance to talk to him because he never stopped complaining.
If it were so, you should slowly move away from him. Stop receiving the call, because he only wanted to complain that is not important to you.
Self boasting 3.GemarWhat he does is always better than you, so that it conveys to you. He thinks you just like its competitors. If you succeed at something, she looked unhappy. If he is successful against something, he’ll show off on your excess.
Friendship means pleased with the success of a friend. If you are pleased and happy, good friend will come happily. So if there are friends who are not happy with you, it looks like he’s not right for your friend. Even tacitly considered an enemy could be you.
4. Thought he knew everythingSome dissenters feel they know everything. They always have never missed an opportunity to brand you are always wrong without showing that they can provide a better way.
Be careful if you have a friend like this. Suggestions, advice, and criticism is necessary for one’s progress. However, good advice is not dropping people. Good advice should direct you sincerely thing you should do. He is also willing to listen to your opinion.If only to criticize it on an ongoing meneruh without directing to something better, instead they are people who get smart and not good for your progress.

Why Children Need to Learn Drawing?
Perhaps, among us parents, there are those who think that learning to draw for children is a special event for those interested in painting, or which is generally said that he ‘gifted’. Nowadays many parents who include their children in extracurricular courses or drawing. Some of the parents have the view that drawing skills can be useful in the future for their children’s careers. For example, a career in the world of design. The reason for this is right and good.
There are also parents who want their children to develop skills toward mental development, namely by including race-race child in order to test the courage and passion to compete, and hopefully win gratitude. It is also not bad. But parents should not become mere ambition.
If we observe, when a child learn to draw that many exercises that can support their development, in addition to skills is also beneficial for their emotional development. Now let us discuss more in depth about the benefits of learning to draw, and its relationship with the development of a child, both in terms of skills and emotional development.
Four aspects of learning to draw
When a child learn to draw, there will be an activity or a learning process that includes a sense of vision, mind, mental and physical child. Each process is associated with the development of skills and mental.
To clarify, the process is divided into four aspects, namely:
1. Visual aspect, namely the visual capabilities of children develop when they practice drawing with a mentor. These aspects include:

Key to stimulate children to want to learn to draw is communication. For example, if we are traveling with children to a place, for example to markets, malls, restaurants, supermarkets, recreation to attractions, or perhaps passing on the highway, take the child to notice something.
If we are in the supermarket, take the child to pay attention to the forms rack, display of goods or trolley. Or, take them to pay attention to people who queue at the cashier. If we are in the market, take them to pay attention to busy-busy people who buy and sell.
In visual terms, such as we were inside the speeding vehicle on the highway, take the kids to see the narrow road because away. See also objects that are further away will be smaller, trees and cars will get smaller as more distant from us. This is a visual train children in perspective.
On the other tourist places like the beach, take them to notice the form of palm trees, boats and so forth. Or if we’re in the mountains invite to take the form of fir trees, mountains or hills and so forth.
Indeed we can do it while watching along with them in front of the television, it is also permissible. However, something that would be stronger impression in the memory is through direct experience is real. I believe we can do it with ease.
Good luck.
