There are many forms of kindness, such as being respectful, polite, friendly, and appreciative. The fact that sometimes people have differences but still choose to respect each other's perceptions shows respect. How you treat people with kindness and answer them politely rather than ignorantly and apathetically speaks to what kind of person you are. Also, a little bit of a smile is enchanting. In my journey of life, I'm not always kind, I was rude, we were being rude, but honestly, the older I get, the more I learn. We never truly know what others have been through, we have never walked in their shoes, and being rude to them only makes them feel worse, doesn't it? If you go to a restaurant, saying “thank you” to the waitress might be a small act that is nice. It might make them feel better, because we don't know what happened to them that day. Either way, to your online taxi driver, to your pedicab driver, to the bakery seller that you buy from, to anyone who helps you ...

“I served myself to God. I prayed 5 times a day, I fasted, I read the Qur'an more than most people, and I was willing to die or kill for God. But I never felt God was satisfied, I didn't know if He was or not” Spoken by an ex-Muslim, I watched a podcast about his journey to becoming a Christian, but I sensed a slight misconception about his perception.

Or by not worshiping Him, He becomes less powerful? It feels like a random thought that came out of nowhere, but what is the correct concept behind it? Human beings, like kings such as Nimrod and Pharaoh, needed validation and satisfaction, so they demanded their people worship them...

Who run the world? Girlsssss. Kalian tau ga sih kalau woman power itu bisa jadi inspiratif banget. Bukan cuman cantik, harus dandan, pinter masak, sopan, anggun, we actually can do more than that. Perempuan bisa jadi seperti apa yang mereka mau. Kalian mau jadi hakim? polisi? dokter? arsitektur? model? karyawan? mau bangun bisnis? mau jadi pemimpin? WE CAN! Tapi tau ga sih? kalau stereotip perempuan di lingkup sosial masih ada seperti "Perempuan itu kodratnya cuman di dapur, masak, beres-beres rumah, ngerawat anak." atau ketika kita udah mencapai apa yang kita mau dan sukses dalam karir tiba-tiba dihembusin husshhhh, dan dijatuhin dengan dalih... "Perempuan tuh jangan pinter-pinter amat, nanti ga ada cowok yang mau." "Kalau cewek itu sukses dan mentingin karir nanti cowok minder." But remember, jealousy and insecurity aren't our responsibility. Because our hard work and determination have nothing to do with them. We are the strong people that can face ...
