[Terima Kasih Ibu, Aku mencintaimu] "Whenever the rain comes down and it's seems there's none to hold me...She's there for me, she's my mom" - Sheila On 7-
KapanLagi.com - Oleh: Agatha Yunita

Bila mendengar potongan lagu ini, terlintas kepingan momen indah tentang Ibu. Sosok wanita tegar yang selalu ada untuk kita. Yang kerutan di wajahnya semakin lama semakin nampak jelas, namun tak memudarkan kecantikannya.

Masih terngiang saat beliau mengomel tiada henti karena satu nilai merah menghiasi rapor kita. Atau tawanya yang meledak saat kita berbuat hal konyol, hingga saat itu Anda sama-sama tertawa dan berpelukan menertawakan diri masing-masing.

Dan ketika Anda mulai mempunyai kekasih, Anda mulai mengacuhkan beliau, tak menyisakan waktu untuk bercanda lagi bersamanya. Namun Anda memeluknya erat sambil menangis di pelukannya karena Anda sedang patah hati.

Masih terbias jelas rasa bahagianya saat Anda akhirnya menyelesaikan gelar sarjana Anda. Terlihat wajah bangga dan haru. Dan mungkin itu adalah suatu kebanggaan yang membuat beliau bersyukur, satu cita-citanya telah terwujud.

Air mata bahagia yang menetes di pipi beliau saat Anda memamerkan cincin yang menyatukan Anda dengan belahan jiwa Anda. Semua momen penting itu akan menjadi harta paling berharga bagi Anda dan beliau. Dan harta tersebut hanya pantas dibalas dengan kasih sayang Anda pada beliau.

"Terima kasih Ibu, Aku mencintaimu" (wo/bee)

Biography

Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich, where he later on began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.

During his stay at the Patent Office, and in his spare time, he produced much of his remarkable work and in 1908 he was appointed Privatdozent in Berne. In 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, in 1911 Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague, returning to Zurich in the following year to fill a similar post. In 1914 he was appointed Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. He became a German citizen in 1914 and remained in Berlin until 1933 when he renounced his citizenship for political reasons and emigrated to America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton*. He became a United States citizen in 1940 and retired from his post in 1945.

After World War II, Einstein was a leading figure in the World Government Movement, he was offered the Presidency of the State of Israel, which he declined, and he collaborated with Dr. Chaim Weizmann in establishing the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problems of physics and the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able to visualize the main stages on the way to his goal. He regarded his major achievements as mere stepping-stones for the next advance.

At the start of his scientific work, Einstein realized the inadequacies of Newtonian mechanics and his special theory of relativity stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. He dealt with classical problems of statistical mechanics and problems in which they were merged with quantum theory: this led to an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules. He investigated the thermal properties of light with a low radiation density and his observations laid the foundation of the photon theory of light.

In his early days in Berlin, Einstein postulated that the correct interpretation of the special theory of relativity must also furnish a theory of gravitation and in 1916 he published his paper on the general theory of relativity. During this time he also contributed to the problems of the theory of radiation and statistical mechanics.

In the 1920's, Einstein embarked on the construction of unified field theories,
although he continued to work on the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, and he persevered with this work in America. He contributed to statistical mechanics by his development of the quantum theory of a monatomic gas and he has also accomplished valuable work in connection with atomic transition probabilities and relativistic cosmology.

After his retirement he continued to work towards the unification of the basic concepts of physics, taking the opposite approach, geometrisation, to the majority of physicists.

Einstein's researches are, of course, well chronicled and his more important works include Special Theory of Relativity (1905), Relativity (English translations, 1920 and 1950), General Theory of Relativity (1916), Investigations on Theory of Brownian Movement (1926), and The Evolution of Physics (1938). Among his non-scientific works, About Zionism (1930), Why War? (1933), My Philosophy (1934), and Out of My Later Years (1950) are perhaps the most important.

Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities. During the 1920's he lectured in Europe, America and the Far East and he was awarded Fellowships or Memberships of all the leading scientific academies throughout the world. He gained numerous awards in recognition of his work, including the Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1925, and the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1935.

Einstein's gifts inevitably resulted in his dwelling much in intellectual solitude and, for relaxation, music played an important part in his life. He married Mileva Maric in 1903 and they had a daughter and two sons; their marriage was dissolved in 1919 and in the same year he married his cousin, Elsa Löwenthal, who died in 1936. He died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey.

Manusia dibekali enam intelegensi untuk menjalani hidup ini:Intelegensi verbal,visual,logis,kreatif,fisik dan emosional.Setiap intelegensi memiliki kemampuan masing-masing. Apabila kita bisa melatih dan menggabungkan semuanya maka kepintaran kita akan bertambah menjadi 500 persen dari biasanya. Intelegensi verbal memiliki kekuatan dalam pengolahan kata sehingga sistem yang berlaku adalah mengingat, memahami, memikirkan, mengucapkan, membaca dan menulis. Profesi yang terkait wartawan,penulis,politisi dan lain-lain. Cara meningkatkannya

1. latihan power phrase ( kata-kata pendek namun pengaruhnya maksimal contoh: bukan basa basi).
2. Latihan Power Speaking( bicara secara normal, jadi diri sendiri,menunjukan latar belakang berbicara,mempertahankan apa yang anda ketahui, mengakuinya jika tidak tahu, menunjukan minat.
3. Latihan Power Listening (meluangkan waktu untuk mendengar,memperhatikan, melihat orang yang sedang bicara )
4.Latihan power reading (tidak menunjuk kata-kata dalam buku yang sedang dibaca,tidak mengucapkan kata-kata ketika sedang baca dan tidak mengulang halaman sebelumnya) lakukan berulang-ulang.
Intelegensi Visual yaitu sistem otak yang memproses, menyimpan semua gambar yang nyata maupun khayalan. Profesi terkait antaralain:Teknisi,pilot,atlet,dokter,fotografer dll. Latihan peningkatannya dengan:
1. Power seeing (mengambil gambar,mengembangkan gambar,memperhatikan pola,perhatikan bangunan, desain, cara orang bertindak, pola solusi).
2. Power Imagery (membuat gambar mental buruk yang akan dirubah,membayangkan perilaku yang akan dirubah,membayangkan sesuatu menjadi lebih baik)
Intelegensi Logis adalah menjadikan sesuatu berarti, masuk akal atau bisa di pahami. Cara pengembangan: 1. Mengumpulkan bukti,meluangkan waktu untuk memahami. 2. Mengajukan pertanyaan terbuka yang jawabannya lebih dari satu.3. Melatih teknik matematika baru.
Intelegensi Kreatif : kemampuan menemukan gagasan baru dan pemecahannya. Cara melatihnya pusatkan pemecahan masalah yang ingin diselesaikan sebelum tidur, nikmati tidurnya, mimpikan pemecahannya, tuliskan mimpi dan uji.Buat pembalikan dari pemecahan masalah yang ada.
Intelegensi Fisik yaitu intelegensi yang bertugas mengatur aktivitas tubuh internal maupun eksternal. dilatih dengan membiasakan tubuh melakukan hal yang baru, mengatur nafas ketika sedang beraktivitas,menggunakan bahasa tubuh,
Intelegensi Emosional intelegensi yang terkait dengan perasaan ( senang, susah ). Jika anda berprofesi guru,konsultan,manager, mediator administrator perlu mengembangkan inetelegensi emosional.Dilatih dengan merasakan apa yang dirasakan orang lain,menjalin hubungan baik dengan semua orang,menjadi orang yang disukai,menjadi penengah, mengidentifikasi emosi negatif seperti marah, tetap semangat, mempertahankan ketenangan.pahami pikiran orang lain,nyatakan perasaan dan pikiran anda,pusatkan pada persamaan antara anda dan dia
