Learning from Nature

LM – Eng Wednesday / 28

Hello ! Now, I’m going to tell you, all about nature.

Learning from Nature

             From the moment we open our eyes for the first time and throughout life we are learning constantly. We are primarily taught and inspired by teachers in school, our parents, friends, and others.

             The word of “nature” can have so many meanings.  Nature is life. It is underneath everything humans have created. According to me, nature is a place that all organism live.  When we that we are living on a living organism and that we are all a part of a nature, an interest for taking care of it and learn more appears.

              Ifyou find yourself exhausted and thrown off balance, a simple way to reconnect with yourself is to spend time in nature.

How to connect with nature ?

There are some simple ways to connect us to nature that we can do.

1.    Paint a picture of an animal, plants, and the other organism.

2.    Grow a local plant .

3.    Go for a walk.

4.    Visit a waste dump.

I have an experience that connecting me with nature. When I was 10 years old, I helped my mother and my father to grow a plant. I did it in my house.

As you know, this era already been globalized. So, we must to protect nature together. How to protect the nature?

1.    Save water. We must save the water when we didn’t use it. For example, when we take a bath, we shouldn’t to squandering the water.

2.    Second is, reduce packaging. The packaging can polluting the environment. Such as plastic, cardboard, and others.

3.    Then, cut off CFC.

We can get a lot of inspiration from nature.

3.    Produce Oxygen

What lessons can we learn from nature? There are a lot of lessons can we learn from nature. Such as :

1.    Everything has a purpose

3.    Nature doesn’t hurry

4.    The best things truly are free.

Nature teaches us that for everything there is a season and right timing. Sometimes in our life we want certain things to happen right now. It is hard to wait for the fruits of our actions and we expect results immediately.

Nature teaches us to be humble. There is quiet strength in humility. Humility is needed in our everyday lives in many encounters we have with others.

Here are a few of my favourite inspirational quotes about the healing powers of nature. I hope they inspire you to re-connect to the planet and the power of Mother Earth on a daily basis.

So, I tried to searched him around my neighbor house. But, I didn’t found him for twice. I feel so sad. I thought my cat is hiding in somewhere, so I decided to ate my breakfast first.

After I ate my breakfast, I went to search him again. I surrounded my complex, calling out his name. I heard a cat’s voice from the roof. Finally, I found my lovely cat on the top of my neighbor’s house. He want to go down, but he can’t. I tried to search the ladder for took my cat, but I didn’t find it.

I said “Yes, ma’am”. “Oh, let me help you.”, said a lady. Then, she brought the ladder from her house. Her house is under the construction. She took my cat and gave him to me. I felt so grateful to her. I said thank you to her. “You’re welcome, he is such a cute cat!”, she said. “Hahaha, are you new residents in this complex?”, I asked her. “Yeah, I will move here in next 2 months.”, she answered my question. “Wow, it’s a long time.”, I said. “Oh, once again, thank you for helping me for took my cat. I feel so grateful to you. Without you , maybe I can’t take my cat until now.”, I said. “Hahaha, it’s my pleasure. You’re welcome!”, said her. Then, she asked me to came to her house. I wanted to came to her house, but I must to fed my cats in my house. So, I didn’t came to her house. I went to my house. But, when I got home, I didn’t realize to asked her name. Hopefully, in the next day, I can ask her name.

The Most Memorable Holiday

The Most Memorable Holiday

Last holiday, at the end of the year, I spent my holiday at my home. I feel so bored. But sometimes, I went to tourist attraction or restaurant in Lembang or Dago Pakar. Other than that, I celebrated the new year’s eve in my uncle house at the capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta.

My first holiday, was on 24^th of December 2016. On that day, I stayed at home until night. It was a boring day and also a lazy day for me. I didn’t have a chat buddies at home. My mother and my father went to department store to bought a lot of things for umrah. My first sister went to the mall with her friends and my second sister went to Jakarta. So, I cheered up myself with playing piano. I played the song “The Boy from Ipanema”. That song is my favorite song and that is the song that I never forget. I didn’t know why.

After I played the piano, I fed my cats and I also played with them.  I played with my cats for an hour. After that, I watched TV, youtube, played the video games, and listened to the music. Then, my parents arrived at home and bought me a dinner. I ate my dinner with my parents. Then, I watched the “Pitch Perfect” movie . In fact, I’ve watched that movie twice. But, I’ve watched that movie for a long long time ago.  So, I had forgotten a few scenes in that movie. Because of that, I decided to watched the “Pitch Perfect” movie for  the third time.  And I slept at 11.30 p.m.

On 31th of December 2016, I went to Jakarta by car. I went to my uncle’s house to celebrated the new year’s eve. My uncle’s house is located in Komp. Kemayoran, Jakarta Pusat. It was the memorable experience, because all the members of my family can attended that event.

My family and I, had the barbeque. It was the most awaited moment for me. Beside that, my uncle and his nephew launched the fireworks. At 12 a.m. o’clock, my family and I blew the trumpet together. And at 1 a.m., we slept.

I woke up at 8 in the morning. So did my mom. I did the breakfast together with my beloved family. Then, I took the shower and I got ready for a trip to my sweet home, Bandung.  My family and I on the way to Bandung at 10 a.m. That was a bad traffic jam on my way to my home. So, my family and I arrived at our home at 2 p.m. When we arrived at home, we slept until 5 p.m. o’clock.

On 2^nd of January 2017, I went to the dentist. I’ve waited for my consultation for an hour. Finally, I got my time for the consultation. But, I was a little annoyed. Because, my doctor had canceling to take off my bracket.

Then, my parents and I decided to visit one of the restaurant or café in Dago Pakar.  I visited the “Cocorico Café and Resto”. That café had a very beautiful view. And the main course of that café are so good for me. And, my parents and I on the way to our home at 11 p.m.

On the next day, 3^rd of January 2017, my parents and I visited the tourist attraction in Lembang, called “Dusun Bambu”. Same as the “Cocorico Café and Resto”, Dusun Bambu had a beautiful scenery too. The scenery in that place was good for photographer. Beside that, Dusun Bambu had a lot of rides. Such as ATV, riding the horse, feeding the rabbit, and many more.

After we visited Dusun Bambu, we had lunch in “Kampung Daun Restaurant”. That place wasn’t far from Dusun Bambu. In that place, I ate nasi rawon, soerabi keju, and chocolate milkshake. Those are felt so delicious. We went back to our home at 5 p.m.

Last holiday, was a boring day but the memorable experience for me.  I was fun when only my parents and I visited the tourist attraction and resto.
 

Hopefully, 2017 is going to be my year! I mean, hopefully 2017 is better than 2016.          

Biography

R. A. Kartini

              Raden Adjeng Kartini sometimes known as Raden Ayu Kartini, was born to a noble family on April 21, 1879, in the village of Mayong, Java, Indonesia. Raden Adjeng Kartini was a pioneer in the area of education for girls and women’s rights for Indonesians. She was also the journalist.

              Kartini's father, Sosroningrat, became Regency Chief of Jepara. Kartini's father was originally the district chief of Mayong. Her mother, Ngasirah was the daughter of Madirono and a teacher of religion in Telukawur. Kartini was the fifth child and second eldest daughter in a family of eleven.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Kartini's parents arranged her marriage to Joyodiningrat, the Regency Chief of Rembang, who already had three wives. She was married on the 12th of November 1903. Her husband understood Kartini's aims and allowed her to establish a school for women in the east porch of the Rembang Regency Office complex.
