Reflections of Life from 'Dunia Sophie' Part 1


Jostein Gaarder's novel "Dunia Sophie" chronicles the history of philosophy from its origins in Greece to the twentieth century. This book was originally published in Norwegian in 1991 under the title So-fie's Verden and has since been translated into over 30 languages around the world. Presenting the history of philosophy in a novel format is unique. In this way, philosophy, which appears tough to acquire, can be delivered in simple, easy-to-digest language.
Very interesting novel I ever read, from that novel I as a reader has found one sentence that's make me interesting with. 
"Kamu tidak dapat merasakan hidup tanpa menyadari bahwa kamu nantinya harus mati, pikirnya. Namun, sama mustahilnya bagi kita untuk menyadari bahwa kita harus mati tanpa memikirkan betapa menakjubkannya hidup itu.- from novel "Dunia Sophie" by Jostein Gaarder

Simple but has an impact on readers. Personally for me this sentence highlights the paradox of life and death. Humans often face the reality that our lives will end at some point, but it is difficult to understand how precious life is without thinking about death. 
This sentence teaches us to appreciate every moment in life, because awareness of the limited time we have can encourage us to live meaningfully and appreciate our existence in this world. By realizing that death is an inevitable part of life, we can be more grateful for every experience we have, every opportunity we are given, and every relationship we build. So, we can live more fully, more courageously, and more authentically, without regretting the past or fearing the future.

Veronika Damur sering memanggilnya Ende Ika,Punya 10 orang anak termasuk Bapa saya, bisa dibilang selain dibesarkan oleh bapa dan mama saya juga dibesarkan oleh beliau karena jarak rumah saya dan nenek saya hanya berjarak 5 Meter. Setiap pulang sekolah saya jarang di rumah saya, karena setiap pulang langsung ke rumah Ende Ika untuk makan dan harus 1 piring.For your Information Ende Ika kalau buat sayur labu selalu dicambur saung daeng tuk dan hanya diberi garam no micin-micin club tapi rasanya terlalu sempurna untuk diutarakan.   Moment 8 tahun lalu mungkin menjadi kehilangan yang besar bagi saya kehilangan orang yang selalu ada, mungkin kalian yang membaca ini akan merasa mun...

What should Students do before examination?

Exams are important tests that show how well you know your school subjects. They help teachers see what you've learned and how much you understand. As a student, there are several things you can do to prepare effectively before exams: 1. Look over your class notes and books to remember what you’ve learned. 2. Plan when you’ll study for each subject or topic before the exam. 3. Practice with old test papers or example questions to get used to how the exam might look. 4. Try active learning: summarize what you’ve learned, teach it to someone else, or make flashcards to help you remember. 5.
