Lari Mengejar Ilahi

         Kerna ayam berkokokkah terbitnya mentari?

           Kerna terbit mentarikah hari kesiangan?

           Kerna kesiangankah kita berlari?

           Hari berlalu bersama mimpi semalam

           Dengan masa bak tetamu tak diundang

           Pergi tanpa bersua kata

           Hari ini masa kembali menyapa

           Untuk sekian lama kita berlari

           Mengejar itu dan ini

           Tanpa fikir dan hujah bistari

           Kenapakah kita berlari ?

          Apakah di hujung sana ada emas dan singgahsana?

          Bila kesiangan direbut  malam

          Dan tibanya masa untuk bersua pemilik tanah ini......

          Kita akan pergi jua  tanpa berlari

             Hari ini riang bertamu lagi

             Dengan syukur akan nikmat  dan anugerah

            Mengecap manis kehidupan untuk sekian lama

            Masih segar untuk bersolat dan berzikir

            Menghiasi malam dengan tangisan taubat

            Memohon sekelumit rahmat buat insan yang berdosa

          Bila ayam berkokok lagi di kaki langit

          Dan mentari muncul menegur alam

          Itulah rahmat dan tanda kasih

          Untuk kita terus berlari

           .......mengejar Ilahi

          Selamat Menyambut  Hari Ulangtahun

          Untuk aku dan sahabat-sahabatku yang mulia ...........

Writing Tips #40

Make your sentences strong !

A sentence should not start with “however” or “ for example”; put it in the middle.

Instead of : However, our recent findings challenge existing memories.

Write : Our recent findings, however, challenge existing theories

Writing Tips #39

acronyms

Abbreviations and acronyms are only good when they clarify, not when they obscure or confuse the readers.

ANOVA , ANN, GA are good

BPR is not; use them sparingly

Writing Tips #38

WRITING AND NUMBERS

 

 

Writing Numbers: Whether to enter numerals or words for a number is often confusing. In different situations, this will vary, but probably a fair generality is that a numeral is shorter than a word, so use a numeral, with the following exceptions:

• You cannot begin a sentence with a numeral. The number "1,256,781" must be entered at the beginning of a sentence as "One million, two hundred fifty-six thousand, seven hundred and eighty-one," as ridiculous as it seems. If the number involves a unit of measure, the unit must be likewise spelled out as a word in most cases (pH would be one exception). Work the sentence so you don't have to begin it with the number!

• When not speaking of data or experimental groupings, use words instead of numerals for small numbers: "two centuries ago," "For well over fifty years..", "Of the many millions of fish released..."

• Numbers are generally written as numerals when a specific value is named, and always when associated with a unit of measure: "270 centuries ago," "59 people...", "...47.8 g dry weight...".

Writing Tips #37

Avoid redundancy

Redundancy can sometimes slip by: “The leaf is triangular-shaped.” Triangular is a shape, so to write it is redundant. It is better to write “The leaf is triangular.”
