Menjadi Pembelajar-Mandiri (Otodidak) Gaya Bajak Laut?

Menjadi Pembelajar-Mandiri (Otodidak) Gaya Bajak Laut?
Oleh Hernowo



Saya saat ini sedang di Bumi Laskar Pelangi. Dalam perjalanan ke Bangka-Belitung, saya ditemani sebuah buku yang luar biasa. Buku ini berbicara tentang pendidikan lewat cara-cara yang tidak dapat saya bayangkan. Sangat unik dan berbeda dengan buku-buku yang berbicara ihwal pendidikan.

Judul buku itu Secrets of Buccaneer-Scholar: How Self-Education and the Pursuit of Passion Can Lead to a Lifetime of Success. Penulisnya bernama James Marcus Bach. Mau tahu siapa dia? Bach adalah pemuda drop-out dari SMA. Dia kemudian belajar secara otodidak dan berhasil bekerja di Apple Computer.

Apa yang dilakukannya di Apple Computer? Mari kita dengarkan sendiri cerita Bach: “Usia saya 24 tahun dan bekerja sebagai seorang manajer penguji perangkat lunak di Apple Computer, di Sillicon Valley.” Waktu berusia 24 tahun itu, dia diminta bicara di sebuah sekolah khusus untuk “anak-anak bermasalah.

Bach diminta berbicara di sekolah itu karena Bach dianggap “berhasil” sebagai seorang pelajar putus sekolah. “Saya belajar, tapi saya tidak sekolah. Sekolah hanya sementara. Pendidikan tidak. Jika kalian ingin berhasil dalam hidup: temukan sesuatu yang membuat kalian takjub dan pelajarilah,” demikian pesan Bach kepada anak-anak yang putus sekolah.



Buku Secrets of Buccaneer-Scholar memang merekam ide-ide gila Bach tentang bagaimana mendudukkan belajar mandiri dan belajar di sekolah. “Pendidikan memang penting. Sekolah tidak penting. Saya tidak membutuhkan sekolah,” katanya. Ketika seorang pelajar bertanya, "Bagaimana Apple bisa mempekerjakan Anda padahal Anda tidak memiliki gelar?", Bach dengan enteng menjawab:

"Saya bisa memprogram komputer karena saya mendidik-diri-saya-sendiri dengan membaca dan mempelajari manual-manual teknis. Saya membuat program video-games secara profesional setelah meninggalkan bangku sekolah. Saat itu, seorang manajer perusahaan Apple menyukai pengalaman dan semangat saya. Sesudah itu, saya hanya perlu menunjukkan bahwa saya bisa belajar cepat dan bekerja dengan baik."

Ide-ide gila Bach tentang pendidikan memang mudah disalahpahami. Saya banyak menemukan hal-hal baru ketika membaca buku karya Bach ini. Seakan-akan saya diberi banyak "teropong" oleh Bach untuk memandang dunia pendidikan dari sisi yang lain sama sekali. Sekali lagi, ide-ide Bach mudah sekali disalahpahami. Namun, bukankah untuk menjadi hebat, kita perlu disalahpahami?[]

Menghadapi Badai Kehidupan

Menghadapi Badai Kehidupan

Yakobus 1:2-4

Saudara-saudaraku, anggaplah sebagai suatu kebahagiaan, apabila kamu jatuh ke dalam berbagai-bagai pencobaan, sebab kamu tahu, bahwa ujian terhadap imanmu itu menghasilkan ketekunan. Dan biarkanlah ketekunan itu memperoleh buah yang matang, supaya kamu menjadi sempurna dan utuh dan tak kekurangan suatu apapun.

Bacaan Alkitab Setahun:Mazmur 138; 2 Korintus 11; 2 Samuel 3-4

Beberapa badai dalam kehidupan kita bukanlah hasil dari ketidaktaatan kita, namun terkadang karena ketaatan kita kepada-Nya. Sebagai contoh adalah Ayub. Apa kesalahan Ayub sebelum bencana menimpa kehidupannya? Tidak ada. Bahkan dikatakan dia adalah seorang yang saleh sehingga Tuhan membanggakannya dihadapan malaikan dan setan: “"Apakah engkau memperhatikan hamba-Ku Ayub? Sebab tiada seorangpun di bumi seperti dia, yang demikian saleh dan jujur, yang takut akan Allah dan menjauhi kejahatan." (Ayub 1:8).

Setelah itu serangan terhadap Ayub dimulai. Hal ini diijinkan Tuhan untuk membawa sebuah perubahan hidup. Jadi Ayub mengalami badai kehidupan yang sempurna. Yakobus menasehatkan, “Saudara-saudaraku, anggaplah sebagai suatu kebahagiaan, apabila kamu jatuh ke dalam berbagai-bagai pencobaan, sebab kamu tahu, bahwa ujian terhadap imanmu itu menghasilkan ketekunan. Dan biarkanlah ketekunan itu memperoleh buah yang matang, supaya kamu menjadi sempurna dan utuh dan tak kekurangan suatu apapun.”

The Magical Power of Fermented Foods

By Terri L. Saunders

Most of us are familiar with the concept of how important it is for our planet to have a balanced ecosystem in order to perpetuate itself, where each species contributes to the life of another in an environment that supports healthy growth and vitality. At the present time, it appears that earth’s ecosystem is at risk of deteriorating at an alarming rate, unless we can change this course of events.

Just like the planet that we live on, we too have an ecosystem inside our bodies that supports our growth and vitality, and just like the earthÆs, our inner world is also at risk as evidenced by the tremendous increase in infectious disease, degenerative conditions and autoimmune disorders. Cancer, AlzheimerÆs, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, allergies, chronic fatigue, candidiasis, fibromyalgia, and depression are affecting adults and children alike. WhatÆs even more significant i

Why are these problems unique to modern society, and what did our ancestors know that enabled them to live their lives free of these ailments? The answer may lie in that inner world struggling to survive inside of us.

Before birth, a baby grows in the sterile environment of its motherÆs womb. Just before delivery, the motherÆs cervix dilates about 2 cm which allows bacteria from the birth canal to enter the amniotic fluid in the womb. The baby drinks this fluid and is inoculated with the bacteria. In a healthy mother, her birth canal is filled with beneficial bacteria, or microflora such as lactobacillus and bifidus. These healthy bacteria are known as probiotics and form the foundation for a healthy

In truth, most mothers no longer have the beneficial microflora living inside of them so they cannot give it to their babies. In fact, approximately 85% of pregnant women now have pathogenic bacteria inside their birth canal instead of the healthy bacteria their baby needs for protection.

Once the baby is born, if he is nursed, his immunity is further enhanced by the colostrum secreted by his motherÆs breasts before her milk comes in. The colostrum is teeming with immune enhancing antibodies, proteins, peptides and transfer factor that enter the babyÆs body and are immediately absorbed through the babyÆs now permeable intestines to allow this event to occur. For the first six hours the colostrum that is produced contains no sugar, but then the babyÆs gut seals up and the c

Currently, due to the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the mother’s birth canal which may or may not cause a problem, doctors are recommending that mothers be hooked up to an antibiotic I.V. drip as soon as they begin labor. Since antibiotics do not discriminate between harmful bacteria and beneficial bacteria, this practice essentially destroys the baby’s fragile ecosystem and young immune system.

In an ideal world, as the child grows he would be fed foods that are rich in probiotics, which would continue to protect him from harmful pathogens normally encountered in daily life. These foods are largely missing from the modern American diet, which is unfortunate since beneficial microflora make up 85% of our immune system.

In her groundbreaking book, ôThe Body Ecology Dietö, Donna Gates, a pioneer in the field of nutrition and health, refers to these microflora as alchemists and highly intelligent beings that communicate at all times with our enteric nervous system, located in the intestines and commonly referred to as the second brain. In fact, she maintains that it is this second brain that is ultimately controlling the primary brain in our head. Recent scientific research has discovered that the same rec

The brain in our head needs nutrients to function such as high quality proteins, glucose, and essential fats which all come from the intestines. Neurotransmitters such as serotonin which help us to relax are created from these nutrients in the intestines and transported up to the brain. The microflora play an essential role in the production of these substances. They help to break down our food so we can digest it and actually produce all of the B vitamins, vitamin K, and short-chain fa

Without this healthy ecosystem in place we become malnourished, toxic, emotionally stressed and sick. Donna Gates feels that autism is essentially a ôgut-brainö disorder and that the only way to heal these children is to reestablish a healthy inner ecosystem. Her BEDROC diet, the Body Ecology Diet for Recovering Our Children, has a protocol for healing autism that is very successful. As adults, we can also restore our inner world and heal disease, slow down aging, and become healthier an

In order to do this we need only to look at the way our ancestors ate and prepared their foods. Traditional cultures from around the world all incorporated probiotic-rich foods into their diets. Before modern technology gave us refrigeration and even in underdeveloped countries today, the only way to preserve food was to ferment it. As it turns out, these cultured or fermented foods contained the life-giving microflora that nourished and protected them through the ages.

Nutritionist Sally Fallon reveals in her fascinating book, ôNourishing Traditionsö the incredible health benefits of ancient foods and inspires us to return to this way of eating to recover our health. In days of old, crops were grown in the spring, harvested in the summer and fall, and then preserved through the process of lacto-fermentation to continue to provide food throughout the winter. This was possible due to the presence of lactobacilli bacteria that is naturally present on the s

The traditional process of fermentation begins with first washing and cutting up vegetables or fruits and mixing them with herbs and spices. They are then pounded briefly to release juices, mixed with a solution of salt water and then put into air-tight containers where they remain at room temperature for several days. After that they are stored in a cool dark place where they will keep for several months. Now, culture starters are available containing healthy microflora and beneficial y

Fermented dairy products produce numerous benefits. During fermentation the casein, or milk protein is broken down making it more digestible. Vital enzymes that are destroyed during pasteurization may be restored, including lactase which enables us to digest the milk sugar lactose. Donna Gates believes that no one is actually lactose intolerant. She feels that it is the lack of a healthy inner ecosystem that prevents us from being able to digest dairy products. She herself was unable to digest milk fo

Donna has recently introduced a new cultured food into her diet-- kefir made from the juice of young green coconuts. This delicious drink nourishes the body, cleanses the liver and enhances digestion. While most fermented foods can be quite tart and tangy, coconut kefir has a sweet aftertaste. A scrumptious fermented pudding can also be made from the pureed coconut meat. Rich in anti-microbial and anti-parasitic lauric acid and balanced amounts of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and vitamin C, th

I personally had a profound experience just five days after beginning the Body Ecology Diet, which included drinking coconut kefir twice daily and eating cultured vegetables with every meal. Having a history of dental problems, I have always had a buildup of tartar behind my lower front teeth, regardless of regular professional cleanings. On the fifth day of being on this diet, the tartar buildup easily came right off my teeth when I brushed them in the morning. I was astounded! The only thing I can su

Eating cultured foods on a regular basis is the most effective way to heal a leaky gut, a condition that exists due to a weakened and often inflamed permeable intestinal membrane, which allows undigested food particles to enter the blood stream. Crohn’s Disease, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic allergies and immune system disorders are all ultimately caused by this problem. In fact most of the population has this condition due to diet and lifestyle.

Many people believe that taking probiotic supplements such as acidophilus capsules is sufficient for populating the intestines with beneficial microflora. However, without the foundation established by dietary sources of probiotics, the microflora in the supplements cannot properly colonize the intestines.

By including fermented foods in our diet, we can reestablish a healthy inner ecosystem which protects us from harmful pathogens and environmental toxins. We can then eat foods such as raw eggs and raw meats (as our ancestors did) without fear of getting salmonella, E. Coli or parasites. Even if we did pick up these things we might have some slight discomfort, but we wouldn’t become seriously ill as we do now.

The ancients knew the powerful magic that nature gave them to stay strong and healthy. We, too, can carry on the traditions that enabled many generations to survive through the ages and ensure a healthy future for our children and the planet that we live on.

Terima Kasih Sudah Mencoba

Terima Kasih Sudah Mencoba
http://www.jawaban.com/index.php/spiritual/main_daily_update/date/2011-05-13.html
Matius 14: 28-29

Lalu Petrus berseru dan menjawab Dia: "Tuhan, apabila Engkau itu, suruhlah aku datang kepada-Mu berjalan di atas air." Kata Yesus: "Datanglah!" Maka Petrus turun dari perahu dan berjalan di atas air mendapatkan Yesus.

Bacaan Alkitab Setahun: Mazmur 133; 2 Korintus 6; 1 Tawarikh 1-2

Jika Anda pernah mencoba melakukan sesuatu untuk Tuhan dan gagal, inilah yang ingin saya katakan kepada Anda hari ini: terima kasih. Terima kasih karena sudah mencoba. Kegagalan tidak selalu buruk, karena kegagalan selalu mendahui kesuksesan. Kegagalan sebenarnya bisa mengajarkan kita mencapai kesuksesan karena kita bisa belajar dari kesalahan kita.

Sudah dikatakan dari awal jika Anda tidak berhasil saat mencoba pertama kali, coba dan cobalah lagi. Tapi ijinkan saya menyarankan cara baru: Jika Anda tidak berhasil ketika pertama kali mencoba, tenang. Anda sama dengan kami.

Sering kali kita menyalahkan diri sendiri ketika gagal. Tapi terkadang hal itu adalah proses belajar sehingga tidak melakukan kesalahan yang sama di masa depan.

Dalam Matius 14 kita mendemukan cerita tentang kegagalan, salah satu kegagalan spektakuler sepanjang masa. Itu adalah kisah Petrus yang berjalan bersama Yesus di atas air. Itu juga kisah bagaimana ia tenggelam.

Namun faktanya, Alkitab mengatakan kepada kita bahwa Pertus “berjalan di atas air menuju Yesus.” Itu adalah momen yang hebat, dan tidak bisa terulang kembali. Kita bisa menemukan berbagai kesalahan Petrus, tapi tidak ada satupun yang ada di perahu saat itu berani melakukan yang Petrus lakukan.

Hal yang mudah jika kita hanya duduk di bangku cadangan dan mengkritik orang yang memimpin di luar sana, keluarlah dan cobalah melakukan perubahan. Untuk itu kita perlu menanyakan beberapa pertanyaan pada diri kita sendiri, “Apa yang telah saya lakukan akhir-akhir ini? Apakah saya telah dengan berani mengambil resiko bagi Kerajaan Allah?” Akan lebih baik jika kita mencoba dan gagal daripada tidak pernah melakukan sesuatu sama sekali.

Kegagalan adalah saat Anda berhenti mencoba, jadi ketika sesuatu tidak berjalan sesuai yang Anda harapkan, itu hanyalah proses pembelajaran menuju sukses.

Endometriosis herbal remedies

Endometriosis herbal remedies
http://foodjournalforall.blogspot.com/2009/06/endometriosis-herbal-remedies.html
Clinical studies indicate that women who have endometriosis are greatly helped by reducing their estrogen levels and increasing progesterone levels.

Are Herbs Effective In Treating Endometriosis?

At Longhua Hospital, Shanghai 48 women diagnosed with endometriosis were treated with herbal remedies for 3 months. Doctors noticed significant improvements in symtops, with pregnancy rates as high as 26.7%!

The same hospital treated 76 cases of endometriosis with herbs to improve blood circulation and experienced success rates of 80.26%. 88.89% of the women no longer had dysmenorrhea, 66.72% were cured of pelvic pain, 72.12% were cured of pain during intercourse and 13.63% got pregnant.
Meanwhile, Doctors at the Endocrinology and Reproductive Medicine at the University of Vienna reported "medicinal botanicals have anti-inflammatory and pain-alleviating properties and hold promise for treatment of endometriosis"

While there are many drugs on the market which work on hormone levels, they all have side effects. I've listed a small sample below:

* Provera side effects include depression anxiety, bloating, dizziness, hunger, weight gain, fatigue, joint pain, insomnia, body odor, baldness, acne, edema, loss in bone density, deep vein thrombosis breast cancer and cervical cancer.

* Lupron side effects include weight gain, memory loss, decreased energy, insomnia, depression, loss of libido, hot flashes, edema, pain, angina, rectal polyps, embolisms, fibromyalgia symptoms,

* Danazol side effects include weight gain, acne, edema, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, hair loss, facial hair, deepening voice, enlarged clitoris, and even liver tumors and pancreatitis.

It's a sad fact that women turning to their doctors for medical help are being prescribed drugs that may make them feel much worse.

Thankfully there are natural alternatives to these drugs. Herbs that have been used for hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of years to help men and women to conceive.

What's more, modern research has confirmed that these herbs work, and double-blind clinical studies put the herbs through the strictest and most vigorous testing, and have also confirmed these herbs help you conceive faster.

Here's just a few of these findings:

Chasteberry

chasteberryChasteberry has been used for centuries in Western and Chinese Medicine to treat gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis. Combined with Dong Quai it makes a powerful treatment for balancing hormones and reducing the pain of endometriosis. When Chasteberry is combined with Wild Yam it relaxes the uterus, reducing cramps and spasms.

It's approved by the German Commission E for family physicians and gynecologists to use for menstrual conditions. In fact, a German study reported that 52% of women taking this herbs reported a complete reduction in symptoms. Another German study reported 93% of women noticing a significant decrease in PMS symptoms.

Chasteberry is rich in essential oils and flavinoids. It works by stimulating the body to decrease estrogen levels and increase progesterone levels, leading to decreased occurrences in endometriosis.

Dong Quai (Angelica Sinensis)

dong quaiDong Quai is also used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat female reproductive health complaints, including endometriosis, fibroids, PMS and infertility.

A Taiwan medical study found that Dong Quai inhibited tumor growth by 30%. Chinese Researchers found that the polysaccharides in Dong Quai improved the immune system by activating the T cells.

NYU School of Medicine found that the water-soluble components in Dong Quai had an anti inflammatory and antibacterial effect.

The Fourth Military Medical University in China found that Dong Quai prevented the blood cells from clumping together and improved the circulation of blood.

Wild Yam

wild yamWild Yam has been used in the West since the 18th century to treat menstrual cramps and other gynaecological condition such as endometriosis. It is rich in diosgenin, a substance used by the body to create progesterone.

Wild Yam is effective for balancing estrogen levels, and researchers in Taiwan found that its phytoestrogens (a weak form of plant estrogen) bind to estrogen receptors in the body, replacing the stronger and more dangerous forms of estrogen such as xenoestrogens.

Psychiatrists in China reported that Wild Yam reduces anxiety levels, and its anti inflammatory and anti spasmodic effects are excellent for maintaining uterine health. When combined with Chasteberry and Cramp bark, Wild Yam is a powerful natural remedy for immediate relief from endo symptoms.

Cramp Bark (Viburnum Opulus)

cramp barkCramp bark has been used for hundreds of years by Native Americans to treat pains and muscular cramping in the body. It is used to relax muscles, and is particularly effective on the smooth muscle cells of the uterus.

It also has anti-inflammatory effects and calms and soothes the nerves, reduces excess bleeding and provides great relief for dysmenorrhea.

It also has wonderful effects on irritable bowel syndrome and researchers at Lviv National Medical University, Ukraine found that it was an effective treatment for gastrointestinal damage.

Ginger

gingerGinger has been used for thousands of years in Chinese Medicine to reduce nausea, reduce pain, treat digestive complaints and to boost energy levels. It has been effectively used in India to improve allergic response, due to its anti inflammatory effects.

Doctors in Bangkok found that Ginger reduced nausea and vomiting in pregnant patients, while Scientists in Pakistan found that Ginger enhanced the travel of food through the intestine.

It is also good for preventing endometrial growths, as Doctors at the China Medical University, Taiwan proved that Ginger prevented blood cells from aggregating. Researchers at Seoul National University also found that the gingerol and vanilloids in ginger had anti-tumor properties.

Echinacea (Dioscorea Villosa)

echinaceaEchinacea helps combat endometriosis by boosting the immune system, helping the body to get rid of stray endometrial cells, and by reducing inflammation and infections associated with endometriosis.

Echinacea works by enhancing immune response, encouraging the white blood cells to destroy foreign substances. Australian researchers found it is also a powerful antioxidant.

The beneficial effects of Echinacea on the immune system are well documented; one study carried out at Karl Franzens University, Austria demonstrated the effect the herb had on the innate and adaptive immune system. Research at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, Portland, Oregon also confirms this fact.

Echinacea is used to improve conditions caused by imbalances in the immune system. The University of Marche in Italy found the herb effective and safe for treating patients suffering from an autoimmune condition.

Goldenseal

golensealGoldenseal has been used for hundreds of years by Native Americans for its anti bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

It is particularly useful in endometriosis as it relaxes the uterine muscles, helps to reduce excessive bleeding, including bleeding in between periods, hemorrhages, and ruptures of endometrial growths.

Its anti-bacterial effects were documented by the University of Illionois, and the berberine in Goldenseal, along with Echinacea are both effective for clearing the body of infections and inflammations that cause painful endometriosis symptoms.

Calendula Flower (Calendula Officinalis)

calendula flowerCalendula is very effective for boosting the immune system (especially when combined with Echinacea), repairing connective tissue, and improving the circulation of blood. It is also a natural pain killer.

Calendula is used to treat wounds, and is rich in plant antioxidants which protect the body from the free radicals that damage cells. It also has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral properties, which are very useful for keeping endometrial growths under control.

This is a great herb to have in any formula, as it improves the delivery of other herbs into the blood and lymphatic system, giving faster and more efficient benefits.

Sekarang aku sudah jadi anak normal sudah bisa tenang, diam, belajar sendiri, mau
bermain dengan teman. Dulu autis, hyperactive, tidak bisa diam, lari sana sini,
rebut makanan teman, belajar belum bisa konsentrasi, belum bisa main dengan teman.



Aku lihat teman yang autis aku merasa kasihan. Mereka suka ngamuk banting kepala ke
tembok, pukul-pukul kepala, banting kaki ke lantai, tarik rambut sendiri/orang,
teriak-teriak, menangis.



Dulu umur 3-11 tahun aku pukul-pukul tembok belakang pakai gayung sampai bolong. Aku
buang-buang barang: sisir, pensil, odol, kunci kamar tidur mbak dan pintu belakang,
bungkus cokelat Top, permen Relaxa 4 biji, baju mbak, boneka, mainan, botol air
minum mbak, tongkat panjang, kayu panjang, rotan yang patah, sapu lidi, rokok mas
Yono, botol losen mbak, dus-dus rokok, Permen jahe, Ricola, tutup odol, buah nangka,
buah jeruk, pulpen 4 buah, dll.



Aku juga siram-siram rumah orang sampai om itu kaget akhir nya marah teriak-teriak
mau pukul pakai rotan, jewer telinga aku. Om itu orangnya jahat sekali. Aku pernah
buang batu bata di genteng rumah orang.



Aku buang rotan 4 buah : rotan lama 2 dan baru 2 karena takut papa pukul. Kalau mama
gak boleh papa pukul pakai rotan. Mama sembunyi rotan di kamar tidur atas supaya
papa tidak pukul aku. Mama tidak tahu aku ambil dan buang.



Genteng tetangga
