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.”
