I. Introduction

Humans have a great capacity to be wrong our natural biases, habits of thought intuitions, and heuristics usually serve us well. However under certain circumstances they can also lead us directly towards error. Intelligent people are more than capable of holding irrational ideas that recruit subjective belief more than objective facts and evidence. Having qualifications and intelligence are no guarantee that ones views are correct. This writing tries to discuss kinds of errors that occur to human being. This document outlines just some of the main fallacies, errors, and mistakes of reason commonly directed towards human.

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

“Untuk Sukses Kadang Kita Harus Keras dan Tega pada Diri Sendiri”

Tidak ada hal yang lebih penting dalam manajemen diri dibandingkan dengan sikap disiplin. Selain pentingnya menemukan arah dan tujuan hidup yang jelas, kedisiplinan merupakan syarat mutlak untuk mencapai impian kita atau melaksanakan misi hidup kita. Kita harus disiplin dalam mengembangkan diri kita (lifetime improvements) dalam segala aspek, kita harus disiplin dalam mengelola waktu dan aktifitas kita, kita harus disiplin dalam melatih keterampilan kita dalam setiap bidang yang kita pilih. Kita seharusnya belajar banyak dari orang-orang luarbiasa dalam sejarah umat manusia. ”In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves ……..…. Self-discipline with all of them come first.”
HARRY S. TRUMAN
