Having Motorized Vehicle
Motorized Vehicle is not something new that we have ever heard especially car and motorcycle. They are very familiar in our life. Even we ourselves also have them or one of them. They are very useful for our life. They make us easier to go on a trip wherever and whenever. Moreover nowadays, it is supported by technology development. Because of that, there are a lot of new sophisticated motorized vehicle. But, have you ever thought that getting many motorized vehicles, which mean getting more advantages and disadvantages?
There are a lot of advantages of them. Those are they make our trip to our destination faster and easier for example to go to the office, school, college, market, relative‘s house, amusement park and the others in near or long-distance. We can imagine that we need a lot of time to arrive in our destination, if we go on a trip to faraway place by walking or use traditional vehicle like carriage. It is surely waste our time. Besides that, they make our trip more comfortable especially the car which gives us comfortableness by avoided from the rain, sun, wind, and dust in the road. The other choice, to make our trip faster and avoided from the traffic jam, we will get them if we use motorcycle. They also can go through far away trip for example we can go on a trip to around Java Island by riding them.
On the other hand, they also have a lot of disadvantages. One of them is making pollution. You can see in the capital city which is never looked deserted by them, we rarely can enjoy the fresh air because there are a lot of pollutions which is produced every day from a lot of them. We also have to pay vehicle tax and then treatment cost for them routinely. The important thing if we have them or one of them, we also have to provide the cost for gas even when we have a lot of them. It means we have to provide more the cost for it. The other disadvantage is making traffic jam. It is caused by quota of them getting bigger from time to time and it fills the roads.
From this case, I think it is true that motorized vehicle is very useful for us, even it becomes our necessity. But to resolve its disadvantages, it will be better if we confine using them. It can be by confining sum of our motorized vehicle appropriate to our necessity. Do not buy motorized vehicle just because it is newest model and it is only for pleasure and prestige. Buy it if you really need it to make easier your business. If we have to go on a trip especially with near-distance, we can also use public transportation. There are a lot of public transportations which is provided to carry you to your destination because nowadays they serve a lot of trip route. So, by that way we can reduce that disadvantages.

To begin our activity, we need energy in the morning. That is why breakfast is required by almost health experts. But the problem is there are still so many people who consider it insignificant, whereas breakfast could help our body to control metabolism and help to do the health diet.
Some of research proving that the students who start their days with breakfast before school, have a better memory and have ability to permeating the lesson better than students who not breakfast. And also to anybody such as a worker in a company should get breakfast in the morning before they start to work because it will make them more concentrate and focus to work. Especially for women who want to go diet, breakfast could become better way to do. By getting breakfast, our body will press the desire to eat much. So, in the afternoon we will not eat much because we can control it with breakfast. And some people have proved it that their weight decrees average until two kilograms in a week. It is sure if we do it with high discipline and keep the exercise at least two times in a week.
In the other side, there are still so many people who are lazy to get breakfast. Some of them are students and workers. They give the reasons that they have not much time to get breakfast every morning. They said that they will come late to take their activity if they have to make some foods to eat first. They will about to eat when lunch time comes. Even, there are also some people who take an extreme way of diet that they do not want to eat because they consider it will be heaped up fats. Actually that is wrong thought. It is because leave breakfast instead will get the body more fat.
Those are the difference opinion about breakfast. I myself really give priority to get breakfast every morning. Besides it makes our body health, it is also make us control our weight stable. So, if we want to be healthy is by keeping breakfast every day before take an activity.

However, undeniable, that internet can also give harm impact; especially there are a lot of dissolute sites, such as pornography, violence, mistreatment, murder and so on. That problem can have bad impact for children and labile student. They are probably interested to try what they have seen in the internet.

The Difference between Sundanese and Javanese Culture is not a Barrier

Indonesia is an archipelago country. Each island has a diversity of cultures. The diversity of our culture to impact the traditional differences that applies in these areas. For example, Javanese and Sundanese are the two biggest local tribes in Indonesia. The differences among of them are the language, differences of the ritual which is use, how to sustain life etc.
Sundanese are an ethnic group originating from the western part of Java Island, Indonesia, which covers the administrative area of West Java province. Sundanese is the second largest ethnic groups in Indonesia, after the Javanese.
Sundanese (Bahasa Sunda, literally "language of Sunda") is the language of about 27 million people from the western third of Java or about 15% of the Indonesian population. It appears to be most closely related to Madurese and Malay, and more distantly related to Javanese. Sundanese language with its distinctive dialect as considered a difficult language area. Unlike the Indonesian, Sundanese language has several levels based on its level of decency, including the following:
a. Lemes Sundanese language , is the language used for people whose age was above us, this lemes Sundanese language has a very high value of modesty. Typically used to speak with parents, teachers, and people we respect.
b. Loma Sundanese language, is half Sundanese fine or mediocre. Loma language is usually used to talk to people who are the same age. For example to chat with friends usually use the language of Sunda Loma.
c. kasar Sundanese language, namely the coarsest Sundanese language. Sundanese language is often used in one's rough when you're angry. Rough Sundanese also used by people whose level of education or less, so do not know manners.
d. and the uniqueness in Sundanese language is unfamiliar consonant f. Sundanese people tend not to pronounce f. to recite the apology and libel (in bahasa) to map and pitnah. Sundanese people only know one p. namely p peuyeum. Nothing is f and v.
Ancestral customs which in Sundanese people are still maintained and respected. In the human life cycle known as the ceremonies that are traditional rituals such as ceremonial Gestation, The Birth, The Children, Marriage, Death etc. Similarly, in agricultural activities and religious ceremonies are known for unique and interesting. It was all intended as an expression of gratitude and beg 'mentally and physically well-being and safety of the world and the hereafter. Some of the ceremonial activities in West Java could be classified as follows: Ceremony Gestation, The Birth and Babies Ceremony, Ceremony of Childhood, Marriage Ceremony and Death Ceremony.
Sundanese culture has borrowed much from Javanese culture; however it differs by being more overtly Islamic, and has a much less rigid system of social hierarchy. The Sundanese, in their mentality and behavior, their greater egalitarianism and antipathy to yawning class distinctions, their community-based material culture, of feudal hierarchy, apparent among the people of the Javanese Principality. Central Javanese court culture nurtured in atmosphere conducive to elite, stylized, impeccably-polished forms of art and literature. In a pure sense, Sundanese culture bore few traces of these traditions.
The Javanese is an ethnic group native to the Indonesian island of Java. Ethnic Javanese are the largest tribe in Indonesia, both in number and wider distribution. They are often referred to himself as Wong Jowo or Tiang Jawi.
Java community in communicating with each other everyday uses Java language that is stratified. The use of language at a certain level is also influenced by the Javanese people in a particular class. Officially, the Java language into three levels, including the following
a. Ngoko language, the language that is used for people who are already known to be close and intimate, or used to speak to younger people
b. Language karma, that is the language used to talk to people higher social level, such as speaking to groups of farmers and priyayi
c. Intermediate language, the language variation of language use and ngoko language manners. Beyond these three languages, known as kedaton language, that is the language used in Keraton areas. People of Java are famous for its stereotypical meek, graceful. But Java community does not like to be frank, is not open. They prefer to hide his feelings.
Ancestral customs which the Java community is still preserved and respected. In the human life cycle known as the ceremonies that are traditional rituals such as ceremonial death, The Birth, Marriage, Death etc. Similarly, in agricultural activities and religious ceremonies are known for unique and interesting. It was all intended as an expression of gratitude and beg 'mentally and physically well-being and safety of the world and the hereafter. Some of the ceremonial activities in Java can be classified as follows: the ceremony of death, Traditional birth ceremonies, and Wedding ceremonies.
Many traditional Javanese customs have their roots in the Kejawen belief or Hindu traditions, although most Javanese are not Hindu anymore. Minor deity such as Nyi Loro Kidul and Deities of Mount Merapi are still revered at Yogyakarta, special ceremonies are held to maintain good relationships with Nyi Loro Kidul and Mount Merapi.
The differences above are not obstacles for Indonesia to hostile nations. But the difference is the feature of Indonesia's diverse peoples who have the beauties of some aspects of culture that is owned. So, the difference is the unifying beautiful in accordance with the motto of Indonesia is Bhineka Tunggal Ika.

Procrastination
Do you know people who often postpone doing things and then get into trouble of it? This sort of behavior is known as procrastination. It can become a habit that is hard to break. Although it may seem harmless, the person who does this could be courting catastrophe. Procrastinations often do not even get around to changing their attitude after the worst has happened. If you are a procrastinator, you should change your ways immediately, because procrastination can lead to grave results.
A little procrastination is perfectly normal. But some psychologists concede that it becomes a dangerous neurotic activity if you do not change it today. Believe it or not, some people never get around to filling their taxes returns on time. It happens not because they dread parting with their money, but because they keep putting it off.
Procrastination also has other grave results, such as receiving harsh warnings, scolding from superior or even dismissal from a job. But most of the procrastinators will not concede that they are the kind of people who put things off. They usually try to convince other people and themselves that what they are doing is normal. However, they usually need others to bail them out from the consequences of their actions, because eventually they realize and dread the punishment that they will probably get.
When you are having tasks, do not ever put it off. The first thing that you have to do is do it now! Do not ever postpone those tasks until you have a lot of tasks. For examples in the final test, you should have a lot of tasks from the lecturer. Fortunately, they give it one by one, a task for a day. It would be better if you do it now, do not wait to finish those tasks. Try to do it one by one, because if you postpone it you would not have enough time to finish those tasks.
Finally, procrastinator must move with dispatch to change this habit. Postponing doing the tasks would never overcome this problem. Just try to do it one by one from them time being.

Private Transportation and Public Transportation
As we know that Indonesia is a big country. Travelling from one place to another place would be easier if we used vehicle. And there are two kinds of transportation based on the owner of those vehicles. The first is public transportation, such as buses, trains and taxis. The second is private transportation, such as cars, bicycle, and motorcycle. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Here are several examples of both advantages and disadvantages.
We know that public transportation is not as comfort as private transportation. Public transportation is belongings to service public. This transportation can carry a lot of people for a tour. With this mass transportation we can reduce global warming, because we do not need to use our own vehicle. We just need to take this mass transportation and pay for the fee. We do not need to pay for the fuel by ourselves, but we pay it together with other passenger. And it is cheaper also. So we can reduce amount of the vehicle on the road. Of course that would reduce the emission gas of the vehicle and global warming. To support the government policy, this mass transportation must be added and private vehicle should be reduced. In the other hand, this kind of transportation has a limited privacy. Even we do not have any privacy when we use this kind of transportation. Maybe taxis are public transportation which gives more privacy than the other. Sometime in public transportation there is no pleasure, because we have to share every facilities that given.
If you do not like to share your seat to the other, why do not you try to use private transportation? Buy your own vehicle, ride it by yourself, and pay everything it needs by yourself too. This kind of transportation is more expensive than public transportation, because we are responsible to everything that vehicle needs, such as fuel, driver etc. beside that, this kind of transportation make our earth warmer. With the great amount of private transportation, especially cars, the amount of gas emission is increasing rapidly. But private transportation is faster and more comfortable. By our own vehicle we can do anything and go everywhere we want. We can take shorter route in order to save our time. With this transportation, we can use our time more efficient.
Finally, both of transportations have their own advantages and disadvantages. I think riding bicycle is the best solution to get both advantages. In addition to reduce global warming, we get faster. Riding bicycle make us health also. But if you could not use bicycle, it would be better if you used public transportation. Use taxis to get more comfort. And remember, save our earth by reducing any cause of global warming that we can reduce.

They choose one or some of choices to reach their bright future and so do I. For reaching my bright future, I choose English major with some of considerations.

Wake up Late
With so many activities that I done all day, I always feel so tired finally. Usually, if I felt exhausted, I would sleep in the night early. But sometimes, I always wake up late if my body has been work hard before. This is my bad habit and always makes some effects for me.

First, if I wake up late and in that day I have lecturing schedule at 7 o’clock, I will late go to campus. Indeed, the distance of new lecturing place is quite far from my house. I have to walk about one or two kilometers, and I must ride public transportation before. So, it will take my time so much. Therefore, I have to prevent it, because if it happens, I will get a consequence that I am not enrolled in a class attendance list.

Second, other than late go to campus, wake up late make me always in a hurry to do anything. And when I am in a hurry, my brain becomes blank. Sometimes, I forget or I was wrong to get something that I should bring to campus. Indeed, I ever forgot my wallet. And it makes me have to back to my house again, because I did not have money to pay Angkot’s fare.

Third, this is the worse effect of above causes. When I late then it makes me a hurry to do anything, actually those are bad start to my healthy heart. My heart is forced to work harder when we do anything in a hurry. And if it always happens, it will increase the risk of heart disease. Most of health experts said in their journal that if we always in a hurry to work, our heart will pump blood faster than normally. And it becomes fatal such as rupture of blood veins in the heart.

Thus, if I can do anything without late, I will be spared from all bad effects above. Just take a time to manage my activities better than before.

I used to imagine how hard their struggle to finding the truth; purpose of live. They alienated their self focused on thinking what and which is true or false. Also the literature gives it main function toward the reader; comfortable.
Another function of literature is benefit; benefit for the live which is beautiful. People were finding how was for the joyful mixed with the use if it. Means the benefit practically implemented for the life universally. They enjoy the poem, drama and poetry by realizing the essence which are about the big dream of high civilized people. A work of literature will successfully worthless when it does not have the universal values; kindness, justice, honest and humanity for sake of life. This is one of the answer why literature is important that as equal it is giving the horizon view to the people as if it is said “truth could be by literature”.
But, of course we can not force people to like literature. There some are hate it even for babbling that literature such drama, poem and prose are only the stories for children.They may think so cause of the rights just like saying literature does not make much money. Pragmatically people’s frame of mind are the way of survive; to make money. For that reason some peope think literature is worthless.
Finally it is just about the choice the people would like to take according to their perseption upon literaturre. But whether they like it or not literature still has its function to give the leisure and benefit. It exists to the present era because of the high value it has telling the big dream for the people. Literature colored the history of the cvilization and proved influencing people’s mindset about the real life. So is literature still doesn’t important?

Draft of an essay
BEING POSITIVE THINKING
Nowadays people are working very hard to live their life and the welfare of state. It informs that only those are creative and enthusiastic upon their works will be appreciated automatically by the success. And so are the people unmentioned by above capability surely would not get the chance to accept the best resluts like the capable one. This kind of people will fill their life with many small things; too afraid to see the future and “force” to be happy with the poor situation. Besides, they became pessimistic in every things going around as the result of “negative” habit they maintained. There is the significance loss of the soul that they do not believe the winning potential in theirself. It seriously neeed the focus rehabilitation to set back this kind of people to survive well by maximalzing their potential; positive thinking.
Why is it important?
Let’s check around about this. habit is the representation of the continually of same activities. A person will automatically do the things without reasoning how to do after million times how the things done. If the person used to be in positive, thinking and doing habit, it will affect on to the positive sides of his/her life. On the contrary of it, negative habit will break up all the expectation and sources of happiness.
According to Dr. Abraham el-Fiky, habit is built by the way of how one is thinking. There are only two kinds of ways of it; positive and negative. Both are giving the big impact to those are “familiar” with it. In short, only those are thinking positive who will have the opportunity for the success and happiness.
By thinking positive it will make the person feeling happy. The bank data on the brain always ready for giving the data to the owner of the brain according to what kind of data he/she wanted. If the person asks the positive it will serve it as soon for him that caused to be brave, optimistic and happy. There is not excuse why one could be so desperate and look like has no sense of life except the less art of thinking he/she take.
There was a story that once think negative everyday. He interpreted all the data came to his mind negatively, he never took the positive side of everythink that finally make him has not enthusiastic, desperate and thinking small. that’s what he got as if there is no hope for expressing what he wanted to be that he once found a mentor ordered him to think positive then finally he could feel the happiness. So the positive thinking lead one to the habit of the happiness.
Anonther reason why we have to be positive and happy cause there is a cause that forbid us from being shut and weak. The art of the life and its beauty has not yet been whole explored even by the masterpieces. In another hand life is a bounty from God that must be thank by living well and benefiteous to the other. More over we will not feel the happiness and the chance everyday to really enjoy the life and take the advantage of each what happening except by thinking positive. Then what we have to do right now is to take the decision and big intended to change the quality of life. This is the point willy-nilly to take.
All the best players, actors, hollywood actresses, the rich bussinessmen, and the other great men are not getting all their achievements taken from granted. They did really working hard to gain their dream. They can got the happiness such now after having the worse path of their life. They had to wke up early after being failed from the bussiness they had. They must not be desperate, they must be really a warrior for their self. We know them as the people that only could enjoy the life but actually we do not know how many thousands of the fail they got before becoming a winner. They had to face the crush of the life, life indeed is crazy and hard if we are not hard too then we will be weaken by the life itself. And the point is to be hard to be ready for the life we could not at all except we can think big and neveer desperate. This kind of characteristic will only owed by the people who always think big and always trying to maximilize their potention. Thhinking positive is the first beginning and as the starting point to experience the life. Then we can conclude by ourself that it is the condition to gain the success.
Let’s check around to the people that has already practiced it and feeling how beaautiful the life is. There is no even one person does not know who Mahatma gandhi is. He is the law man that was too afraid to face even talk with the people. Once he taught that he will not be changed if his life was just so so and since of that he began to think, thinking big, to against the government of England in his country, India. He could face the Harshment of England colonial by his princip. He could be so hard because of thinking big and positive.
In the other aspects, all must be know who is the owner of “the apprentice” reality show held by Donald Trump. He is the amongst ten the richest man in the world. He has many big companies that give him million dollars in a month. He is expert in real estate that he is the most famous among all. Of course the dedication to his works could not be mentioned again. Donald is really a great man, he could face all the trouble well eventhough how hard the life hit him. Once the big resession in e extraordinr on his real estate bussiness hit him. He owed billion dollars to more than one thousands banks. He had to pay it all meanwhile he had not enough money. The Bodyguard often came and threaten him to pay as soon but he still stick and finally faced all those by positive and big thinking that after the resession he got more millions from his bussiiness.
Bill zanker is another person that deserved to give two thumbs. How come the small company that has only a few employee could be the big company with many thousands employee in a little year. Learning annex is his company. It is a bussiness running on teaching the people with the extra ordinary people. The first time he could only rent the ordinary teacher to teaching in his company that made also only ordinary income. But something big happen. He changed the way of his thinking. By thinking big and positive he changed all those. He began to have the unordinary income any more even two hundred percents increased as before. He will not be such like now of he did not find the bst formula to make it real. So it is the chance for us to be like him (if we will).
The difficulties
To make the change of course rquired an effort. To make the big change then really required the big effort too. It is no matter for those are accustomed with working hard, but rather difficult for those are usually spend their time for sake of enjoyment. To be usually with thinking big and positive we have to make it usual in our daily lifes. According to some facts that some of the persons who were trying found it rather difficult to change cause it against their habitual action. Of course it is. But if we realize how big the the advantage we will get if he had already been thinking positive then we will never bored to always think such so.
Another advantage that should be rememberred in to our brain that thinking positive build he self confidence to ourself. By thinking positive it will order the mind to always think the good that make us optimistic to see what is a head. The trouble is no more as something difficult to break up cause we will make it as the stunt to be the better person who can break up the problems bigger and bigger again.
In shortword, in this time, the era where we forced to be a professional for survive required a spirit to always motivated us to do the best thing ever. There is no person who always struggle along his life, there must be one moment that for a while feeling the depression. But the good man is who can be back to the perfect condition getting ready for the stunts a head. That’s the typical of the person that always think positive and learning from the mistake to get the bigger success.

My Loving of Nature
When I say the word nature, in a glance, my mind directly think to mountains, hills, and seas. But, what is the nature itself? Nature in dictionary is all the plants, animals, and things that exist in the universe and are not made by people or it happened naturally. It means that nature is absolutely created by God. Nature is not only earth but also all of the planets which appear in universe. The stars and the moon are including the miracle of nature that are God created.
Nature is a wonderful thing and it is incomparable. It is so beautiful until I can’t describe it whole by words. My mouth is stuck when feeling about nature. I just can feel how great this nature with its created. Nature can give the human senses room enough, even more than enough. I can go out daily and nightly to feed my eyes by staring at the stars and the moon. The glittering of the stars makes the great nature perfect. No doubtful in my feeling that nature is the beauty one in the universe.
After feeling the beauty of nature, I will feel the different feeling that I have never known before. Nature gives me the spirit to face this hard life for better future. It gives me the confidence to act wisely. When I feeling down and feeling give up, I just go to somewhere which back to nature such as hill to flare up all the problems and try to get the chemistry with nature. Then, I will feel more calm and my spirit step by step rising.
Beside it, nature is the inspiration source for me. When I feel fed up and feeling my thought as if frozen, it can make my mood become bad. Not only that, it also make my thought hard to think positively and clearly. But, nature can give back my thought clearly and I can focus anymore to think something.
Nature provides a lot of places which my body can feel relaxing. When I go to mountain or hill, I can feel the fresh air till it stick to my backbone. After my thought my body feels fresh, I can do something joyful. When I am getting stress and depress, I like to go to some place which nature sense to refresh it. When I go to the beach, I can feel so free as if the wave also feels what I am feeling. I can see the wonderful sunrise and sunset at the edge of the beach. It really makes me relax and feel like in paradise.
Responsibility is one of the characteristics which must have in every people. Nature accustoms me to build that characteristics and discipline. When I plant something, I should take care and water it everyday until it grow well. Beside it, when I go to somewhere such as mountain or nature protecting place, I don’t allow to break the plants. For me, it is one of the ways how nature builds the responsibility of my self.
I get my necessary in nature and of course it through the process first. All of the materials which needing is provided in nature. For example, to build a house needs some materials in nature. The furniture to complete the house itself is back to nature. Treating our body with healthy food such as vegetables and meats are also back to nature. Papers which I always use to write something is also back to nature. So, how narrow-minded I am when I say that nature is not everything. But, the fact says the truth that nature supplies all of my necessary.
When I have already felt the great of nature, directly or indirectly it makes me closer with my God. The creator of this universe. How great God make it perfectly. The praises praise to God when facing the beauty of nature. Just close my eyes, feel this glory work, and I will feel closer with my God.
Nature is the incarnation of our thought. I always try to keep my thought always positively to explore this nature. Absolutely right, when I explore it wisely, nature will friendly with me.
