Secrets to an Increase in Confidence

Apparently, the problem of confidence crisis became one of the classic problem that is always experienced by some of our youth. In fact, that problem if let it linger could backfire ourselves. Could be, the potential that exists within us precisely constrained because only a problem that need not be a problem. Well, we'll try to review how far the influence of self-esteem affects a person success, and how to overcome the excessive crisis of confidence.

Having self-confidence is important. If we have a high confidence, we can develop the potential that exists within us optimally. No longer need to feel inferior or embarrassed when we have to appear in the public, on any occasion. With confidence, we also can become more clever, because we also dare to lift a hand to ask questions. And we also can be known by many people because we are not feel inferior in the association with others.

Well, what about it, which could cause us to feel inferior or less confidence? Apparently there are many reasons. Here are the causes, so we can avoid a lack of confidence:

1. We like to think negative about ourselves. If you feel ashamed of your physical, believe in your heart that it is God's grace that is certainly have some benefit. Make yourself useful with what you have.

2. Fear of failure that make us cannot move forward. If we always feel afraid of doing something wrong, we will never be successful. So never be afraid of failure. Because, the error is the first step toward success. Great characters in history that make many useful invention for us, was once always make mistakes, but they keep trying to fix their mistake. So, never fear to make mistakes!

3. If we hang out together with a coward, automatically we will also be a coward, because our association will affects our personality. Because we are in an environment that the majority do not have a high sense of confidence, we will be the same like they are. Believe me, we are strongly influenced by the environment in which we reside.

4. We are often influenced by opinions of others, and unfortunately not every opinion is true. Opinions or input from the outside we can just absorb. Our task is to process them, as well as for self-evaluation. Had the opinion made us into retreat or hesitation, just reject it.

In essence, remove far-away the feeling insecure within ourselves, do not look at our lack, correct the mistakes we make, and enrich ourselves with knowledge. Automatically, at least we would have defiled our lack and covered by surplus that we have even a little, the most important is we must have the confidence first. But remember..!!! Do not be redundant, because something that was excessive is not fine. Do not over- confidence! And always positive thinking about ourself!

The word Cibobos comes from the Sundanese words Ci and Bobos. Ci means water and Bobos means fart. People around this beach call it so, because the waves that touch the rocks produce farting-like sounds.

Camping, rock climbing, and building sand castles are some of the fun activities that you can do together with your friends here. However, if you don’t like camping, you can stay in a hostel.

Persistent duck (joke)

A duck walks into a bar and goes up to the bartender. The bartender says, “What can I get you?” Then duck says, “Umm. Do you have any grapes?” The bartender, surprised at such an odd question, answers, “No, I’m afraid we don’t.” And the duck waddles slowly out of the bar.

The next day at the same time, the duck waddles back into the bar and makes the same request. A little annoyed, the bartender snaps, “Hey! Weren’t you in here yesterday? Look buddy, we don’t have any grapes. OK?” The duck hops off the stool and waddle out the door.

The next day, the duck is back again in the bar, “Umm. Do you have any grapes?” The bartender is really ticked off. “Look. What’s your problem? I told you, we don’t have any grapes!! Next time I see your little ducktail waddle in here I’m going to nail those little webbed feet of yours to the floor. Got me, pal?” The duck hops off the bar stool and waddles out.

The next day at the same time, the duck waddles into the bar and walks up to the exasperated bartender, who says, “Now, what do you want?”
The duck says, “Umm. Do you have any nails?”
“What!? Of course not!”
“Oh. Well then, do you have any grapes?”

Tips for safer Instant Messaging

Instant Messaging (commonly referred to as IM) is an online communication method similar to e-mail, except that it is generally faster. Using an IM program such as Windows Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, or Yahoo Messenger, you can send a message which will be received almost immediately by the person you sent it to. When your friend types a response, you see that right away.

Use IM more safely
Communicating by using an IM program has some of the same security and privacy risks as communicating by e-mail, but there are a few additional dangers that you should be aware of. Take a look at the following tips for safer IM.

1. Be careful when creating a screen name. each IM program asks you to create a screen name, which is similar to an e-mail address. Your screen name should not provide or allude to personal information. For example, use a nickname such as SoccerFan instead of JakartaFenny.
2. Create a barrier against unwanted instant messaging. Do not list your screen name or e-mail address in public areas (such as large internet directories or online community profiles) or give them to strangers. Some IM services link your screen name to your e-mail address when you register. The easy availability of your e-mail address can result in your receiving an increased number of spam attacks.
3. Never provide sensitive personal information, such as your credit card number or password in an IM conversation.
4. Only communicate with people who are on your contact or buddy list.
5. If you decide to meet a stranger that you know only from IM communication, take appropriate safety precautions. For example, do not meet that person alone, (take a friend or parent with you), and always meet and stay in a public place, such as café.
6. Never open pictures, download files, or click links in messages from people you don’t know. If they come from someone you don’t know, confirm with the sender that the messages (and their attachments) are trustworthy. If they are not, close them.
7. Don’t send personal or private instant messages at work. Your employer might have a right to view those messages.
8. If you use a public computer, do not select the feature that allows you to log on automatically. People who use that computer after you may be able to see and use your screen name to log on.

With all these precautions, hopefully your instant messaging activity will be a smooth and safe experience.

Distance Learning

An alternative way of learning


The dot coms invasion has brought about positive changes in many aspects of life. many activities which used to be done in a complicated way now can be carried out in a more effective way. Nowadays, people don’t need to make an extra effort to get the information they need. they don’t have to go to the library to get information about the book they need. they only need to get connected to the internet. “click and done” seems to be a new way to work things out. The change has also come to the education world. the major change in this field is the so-called Distance Learning.

Distance learning can be an alternative way to get a degree from an overseas university for those who are on a tight budget. It is a new way of learning by using the interner as a medium to interact with other students and lecturers. This system is similar to the Open University in Indonesia. Using this system, a student can learn actively and independently. The only difference is that distance learning uses the internet as its virtual classroom. Despite this difference, distance learning requires the students to be hardworking, disciplined, determined, and highly motivated. It may be a little bit harder to undergo this program since the tutors and classmates are far away and you won’t get intensive support and guidance from them. This means extra effort to regularly read all the materials and consult with classmates and lecturers online. Time management is also important in distance learning because boredom and moody feeling may hit you anytime.

So, are you interested? I bet you are. Distance learning will help obtain an international degree in a shorter time with a lower tuition than the brick and mortar educational institution.
