Komputer terlalu berat

Sudah lebih 2 jam saya berada di kedai komputer. Komputer saya terlalu lambat. Juru teknik mencadangkan mengalih sebahagian dokumen di disk C ke Disk D. Bila direnung dokumen-dokumen yang lalu, nampaknya kebanyakkan sudah tidak 'up-date' kalau 'delete', rasa tidak rela.

Sudah tahu dokumen tidak dipakai, tetapi ingat ia akan digunakan di lain hari. Jadi timbunan menjadi semakin banyak, ia melambatkan kelicinan kerja-kerja harian.

Saya refleks pada pelaksanaan kerja harian, contohnya baju yang lama tak pakai, masih simpan di dalam almari, ia menyempitkan ruang yang terhad itu. Paper-paper lama tak rela diderma pada 'pemungut recycle paper'. Jadi akhirnya rumah kita penuh dengan harta yang tidak dipakai.

Penyelesaian Hoo ialah kalau boleh jual, juallah. Kalau boleh derma, dermalah. Kalau boleh dihadiahkan, hadiahkan kepada sesiapa yang memerlukannya. Bila kita bersihkan objek-objek yang tidak dikehendaki itu, banyak kekosongan boleh wujud. Jadi kita boleh mengisikan sesuatu yang baru. Ia memberi tarik nafas yang baru kepada ruang yang lama.

Kesimpulannya ialah jimat secara berhemat, buang-ambil secara'smart'.

Akhirnya komputer saya menjadi cepat. Alangkah suka hatinya...

Derma Darah

Menderma darah sudah menjadi acara amal tahunan saya.

Sempena Hari Guru tahun ini, bertemakan"Guru Pembina Negara Bangsa", PPD Manjung pun menganjurkan kempen darah bagi golongan guru.

Tanpa ragu-ragu, saya pun buat pendaftaran awal.

Menurut kajian perubatan, darah akan diperbaharui setiap 120 hari. Darah yang usang akan dikumuhkan melalui pembuangan najis. Darah yang baru akan dijana oleh sumsung tulang. Kita tidak tahu bila pertukaran darah berlaku. Tetapi pastinya darah baru akan dibentuk. Oleh itu darah yang kita derma itu boleh membantu orang lain, lebih baik daripada dibuang. Dengan perkataan bahasa pasar ialah 'recycle darah'.

Menderma darah maksimum ialah 4 kali setahun. Menderma darah sekali setahun untuk manfaat diri sendiri sahaja. Di samping itu, ia menyihatkan badan kerana ada pemeriksaan doktor.



Jom, mari kita pergi ke..... Kemudian makan hati lembu, hati kambing untuk menghadiahkan diri sendiri, kerana buat amalan yang mulia ini.

Jenaka Kecil

Jenaka kecil mempunyai tempat istimewa dalam kehidupan. Jenaka kecil diperlukan bagi menarik perhatian hadirin, menghiburkan, melegakan perasaan hadirin serta menguruangkan rasa bosan ketika mendengar ceramah atau ucapan dan menyokong hujah atau pandangan yang diberikan.
Walau bagaimanapun, kita harus berhati-hati dalam menggunakan jenaka kecil dengan mengambil kira latar belakang hadirin dan budaya setempat.
Jenaka kecil juga boleh dilakukan dengan menggunakan elemen non-verbal seperti kelakuan tubuh, kelakuan tangan dan jari-jari, cemek muka dan suara.
Jika anda tidak pastikan bagaimana mencuit hati orang lain, elakkanlah sahaja daripada berkongsi jenaka kecil tersebut.
Walau bagaimanapun, sedikit latihan boleh membantu anda sebelum menyampaikan jenaka kecil dalam perbualan anda.
