Berikut adalah 10 petanda yang menunjukkan dia adalah jodoh kita : 1. Bersahaja
Kekasih kita itu bersikap bersahaja dan tidak berlakon. Cuba perhatikan cara dia berpakaian, cara percakapan, cara ketawa serta cara makan dan minum. Adakah ia spontan dan tidak dikawal ataupun kelihatan pelik. Kalau ia nampak kurang selesa dengan gayanya, sah dia sedang berlakon. Kadang-kadang, kita dapat mengesan yang dia sedang berlakon. Tetapi, apabila dia tampil bersahaja dan tidak dibuat-buat, maka dia adalah calon hidup kita yang sesuai. Jika tidak, dia mungkin bukan jodoh kita.

2. senang bersama
Walaupun kita selalu bersamanya, tidak ada sedikit pun perasaan bosan, jemu ataupun tertekan pada diri kita. Semakin hari semakin sayang kepadanya. Kita sentiasa tenang, gembira dan dia menjadi pengubat kedukaan kita. Dia juga merasainya. Rasa senang sekali apabila bersama. Apabila berjauhan, terasa sedikit tekanan dan rasa ingin berjumpa dengannya. Tidak kira siang ataupun malam, ketiadaannya terasa sedikit kehilangan.
3. terima kita seadanya
Apapun kisah silam yang pernah kita lakukan, dia tidak ambil peduli. Mungkin dia tahu perpisahan dengan bekas kekasihnya sebelum ini kita yang mulakan. Dia juga tidak mengambil kisah siapa kita sebelum ini. Yang penting, siapa kita sekarang. Biarpun dia tahu yang kita pernah mempunyai kekasih sebelumnya, dia tidak ambil hati langsung. Yang dia tahu, kita adalah miliknya kini. Dia juga sedia berkongsi kisah silamnya. Tidak perlu menyimpan rahsia apabila dia sudah bersedia menjadi pasangan hidup kita.
4. sentiasa jujur
Dia tidak kisah apa yang kita lakukan asalkan tidak menyalahi hukum hakam agama. Sikap jujur yang dipamerkan menarik hati kita. Kejujuran bukan perkara yang boleh dilakonkan. Kita dapat mengesyaki sesuatu apabila dia menipu kita. Selagi kejujuran bertakhta di hatinya, kebahagiaan menjadi milik kita. Apabila berjauhan, kejujuran menjadi faktor paling penting bagi suatu hubungan. Apabila dia tidak jujur, sukar baginya mengelak daripada berlaku curang kepada kita. Apabila dia jujur, semakin hangat lagi hubungan cinta kita. Kejujuran yang disulami dengan kesetiaan membuahkan percintaan yang sejati. Jadi, dialah sebaik-baik pilihan.
5. percaya mempercayai
Setiap orang mempunyai rahsia tersendiri. Adakalanya rahsia ini perlu dikongsi supaya dapat mengurangkan beban yang ditanggung. Apabila kita mempunyai rahsia dan ingin memberitahu kekasih, adakah rahsia kita selamat di tangannya? Bagi mereka yang berjodoh, sifat saling percaya mempercayai antara satu sama lain timbul dari dalam hati nurani mereka. Mereka rasa selamat apabila memberitahu rahsia-rahsia kepada kekasihnya berbanding rakan-rakan yang lain. Satu lagi, kita tidak berahsia apa pun kepadanya dan kita pasti rahsia kita selamat. Bukti cinta sejati adalah melalui kepercayaan dan kejujuran. Bahagialah individu yang memperoleh kedua-duanya.
6. senang bekerjasama
Bagi kita yang inginkan hubungan cinta berjaya dan kekal dalam jangka masa yang panjang, kita dan dia perlu saling bekerjasama melalui hidup ini. Kita dan kekasih perlu memberi kerjasama melakukan suatu perkara sama ada perkara remeh ataupun sukar. Segala kerja yang dilakukan perlulah ikhlas bagi membantu pasangan dan meringankan tugas masing-masing. Perkara paling penting, kita dan dia dapat melalui semua ini dengan melakukannya bersama-sama. Kita dan dia juga dapat melakukan semuanya tanpa memerlukan orang lain dan kita senang melakukannya bersama. Ini penting kerana ia mempengaruhi kehidupan kita pada masa hadapan. Jika tiada kerjasama, sukar bagi kita hidup bersamanya. Ini kerana, kita yang memikul beban tanggungjawab seratus peratus. Bukankah ini menyusahkan?
7. memahami diri kita
Bagi pasangan yang berjodoh, dia mestilah memahami diri pasangannya. Semasa kita sakit dia bawa ke klinik. Semasa kita berduka, dia menjadi penghibur. Apabila kita mengalami kesusahan, dia menjadi pembantu. Di kala kita sedang berleter, dia menjadi pendengar. Dia selalu bersama kita dalam sebarang situasi. Tidak kira kita sedang gembira ataupun berduka, dia sentiasa ada untuk kita. Dia juga bersedia mengalami pasang surut dalam percintaan. Kata orang, "lidah sendiri lagikan tergigit", inikan pula suami isteri'. Pepatah ini juga sesuai bagi pasangan kekasih. Apabila dia sentiasa bersama kita melalui hidup ini di kala suka dan duka, di saat senang dan susah, dialah calon yang sesuai menjadi pasangan hidup kita.
8. tampilkan kelemahan
Tiada siapa yang sempurna di dunia ini. Tipulah jika ada orang yang mengaku dia insan yang sempurna daripada segala sudut. Pasti di kalangan kita memiliki kelemahan dan keburukan tertentu. Bagi dia yang bersedia menjadi teman hidup kita, dia tidak terlalu menyimpan rahsia kelemahannya dan bersedia memberitahu kita. Sudah tentu bukan senang untuk memberitahu dan mengakui kelemahan di hadapan kekasihnya. Malah, dia tidak segan mempamerkan keburukannya kepada kita. Misalnya, apabila dia bangun tidur ataupun sakit dan tidak mandi dua hari, dia tidak menghalang kita daripada melawatnya.Apabila kita dan dia saling menerima kelemahan dan sifat buruk masing-masing, memang ditakdirkan kita hidup bersamanya.
9. kata hati
Dengarlah kata hati. Kadangkala, manusia dikurniakan Allah deria keenam yang dapat mengetahui dan memahami perasaan pasangannya. Dengan deria batin ini juga kita dapat saling tahu perasaan masing-masing. Kita dan dia juga dapat membaca fikiran antara satu sama lain dan dapat menduga reaksi dan tindakbalas pada situasi tertentu. Apabila kita yakin dengan pilihan hidup kita, tanyalah sekali lagi. Adakah dia ditakdirkan untuk kita? Dengarlah kata hati dan buatlah pilihan. Serahlah segalanya pada ketentuan yang maha berkuasa.
10, doa solat istikharah dan tawakkal
Jodoh dan pertemuan semuanya di tangan Allah SWT. Manusia hanya perancang di pentas dunia ini dan skripnya ditulis oleh yang maha esa. Adakalanya, dalam memainkan peranan sebagai pelakon, diberi petunjuk melalui mimpi atau gerak hati. Mimpi memang mainan tidur, tetapi apabila kita melakukan sembahyang Istikharah dan memohon supaya Allah memberikan petunjuk, insya-Allah dengan izinnya kita mendapat petunjukNya. Jika dia pilihan kita, buatlah keputusan sebaiknya. Jika tidak, tolaklah dia dengan baik. Semua yang kita lakukan ini adalah bagi mendapatkan kebahagiaan hidup di dunia. Setelah semuanya diusahakan, berserahlah kepadaNya dan terus berdoa. Ingatlah, nikmat di dunia ini hanya sementara.Nikmat di akhirat adalah kekal selamanya.

Jadi, antara sepuluh-sepuluh petanda ni, adakah semuanya ada kena mengena dengan anda? Katakan YA atau TIDAK. Hehe
-------------------------------------------------
Hargailah seseorang yang kita kasihi sewaktu dia masih ada di sisi kita . mungkin saat ini dia masih mampu bergelak tawa bersama kita . jangan disesali bila dia sudah tiada nanti .
-------------------------------------------------
Sayangilah seseorang itu atsa dasar siapa diri dia yang sekarang . bukan atas dasar siapa dirinya sebelum ini . cintailah seseorang itu atas dasar hatinya . bukan rupa paras semata-mata
-------------------------------------------------
Jika kita mencintai seseorang , kita akan sentiasa mendoakannye walaupun dia tidak berada disisi kita
-------------------------------------------------
Tuhan beri kita dua kaki untuk berjalan , dua tangan untuk memegang , dua telinga untuk mendengar , dua mata untuk melihat . tetapi kenapa tuhan hanya menganugerahkan sekeping hati kepada kita , kerana tuhan telah memberikan sekeping lagi hati pada seseorang untuk kita mencarinye . itulah namanye cinta .
-------------------------------------------------
Mungkin tuhan menginginkan kita bertemu dan bercinta dengan orang yang salah sebelum sebelum bertemu dengan orang yang tepat , kita harus mengerti bagaimana berterima kasih atas kurniaan itu
-------------------------------------------------
Cinta dapat mengubah pahit menjadi manis , debu beralih emas , keruh menjadi bening , sakit menjadi sembuh , penjara menjadi telaga , derita menjadi nikmat , dan kemarahan menjadi rahmat .
"Allahumma Ajirna Minan-Naar" Ya Allah hindarkanlah aku dari api neraka .

Marco Polo

...The age of exploration. A time when exploring was arguably the most important thing to do in life. European exploration went everywhere. They explored the earth everywhere that they could. So it was of no surprise that China was a choice on the list. An explorer by the name of Marco Polo sailed to China in the 13th century , his adventurous life , and his contribution to the world , will be our topic of discussion . Marco Polo They called him “the man with a million stories.” People flocked to Marco Polo’s home to hear him tell exciting tales about his travels in distant lands. Marco Polo won fame for his journeys across Asia. He wrote a book about his travels that became one of the most famous travel guides in history. Marco Polo was born in 1254 to a family of merchants. His home was Venice, Italy. Venetian merchants bought and sold valuable Chinese goods, including precious silk cloth. Such goods were brought to Europe along an ancient route known as the Silk Road. The merchants also used the route to travel east on trading missions. This famous explorer left his home in Venice in 1271 to sail for a journey of a twenty four-year. A journey that took him where no European had been before. He went across the Middle East to Central Asia . Yet, when Marco returned home, he told the amazing stories to very few people.

Marco Polo

...During his travels during the 1200’s, Marco Polo traveled from China to India via the China Sea. Marco Polo describes the China Sea as having 7,448 islands that for the most part are inhabited. These islands have trees that give off a wonderful fragrance and the islands are filled with spices. When ships from Zaiton or Kinsai visit the islands, they have great profit margins but it takes a full year too sail to these islands and back home. This paper examines the major islands that Marco Polo visited during his travels through the China Sea. The first island Marco Polo discussed was Japan. Japan is a large island, east of China by about 1,500 miles. Marco Polo described the Japanese people as fair-complexioned, good-looking, and well-mannered. They were also idolaters who were independent and had no other nation to govern. Japan was also blessed with a large amount of gold, partly because no one exported any gold off of the island. I believe Marco Polo was amazed at the amount of gold found on the island since he went into great detail about how the emperor’s palace was roofed entirely of gold, floored with gold in all of the rooms, and about how the halls and windows were embellished with gold. A custom of the Japanese people that Marco Polo mentioned was that their dead is either cremated or buried. If a person is buried, then a red pearl is placed in their mouth. However, Marco Polo dose not elaborated on why a pearl is placed in the deceased’s mouth. (Latham 1958) Chamba...

...Carlos Brown 7/20/2014 Case Study Cisco has twelve offices in eight Middle East countries, employing more than 628 people. The company’s corporate social responsibility efforts have largely focused on education and economic development. Cisco has gained recognition for these activities including the U.S Secretary of State’s Award for Corporate Excellence in 2005 for it’s participation in the Jordan Education Initiative. Other significant examples of Cisco’s Middle East initiatives include a January 2008 announcement of a three-year, $10 million investment to seed a sustainable model for desperately needed job creation and economic development in the Palestinian territories. In Egypt, Cisco partnered with the World Economic Forum to create the Egypt Education Initiative, a trailblazing project that utilizes computer technology to help reform and improve educational standards in developing countries. Finally, in Lebanon, Cisco created a similar project called Partnership for Lebanon. The key strategic lessons learned from the PFL concerning the implementation and running of development programs that could be adopted by any senior manager were a strategic approach of giving back.

Marco Polo's Description Of The World

...Every student is taught that Marco Polo brought back goods and spices from Asia and introduced these to Europe. He sailed out of his home city and began a twenty four year journey that spanned the entire length of the Asian continent. He encountered diverse groups of people and learned about their cultures and traditions along the way. What most people don’t know is that Polo described his journey to Rustichello da Pisa while they were together in prison. Pisa carefully listened to his stories and helped him put his journey into writing. This collaboration resulted in an influential travelogue titled Description of the World, which was published in 1300 in Venice. This publication, which was read by quite a few upper class men and women in Europe, explains all aspects of Polo’s voyage. Many years later, Ronald Latham translates this book into English, which allows the majority of the world’s population to read about the brilliant journey of Marco Polo.

Leaders of Today

...Jason Chen Mr. Hampstead English 124 003 14 February 2014 Leaders of Yesterday Running an empire compared to a city-state is not that much different depending on who is in power. Some characteristics seem to be prevalent in history and carried over to modern times. Marco Polo conducts much analysis on the many regions of the worlds he visits but he has a specific goal in discussing leadership. Does he believe that a leader should be a moral character or more of a political ideologist? Is it better to be a smart leader or a good person? The main focus of Polo was Kaan, but his discussions of other leaders, such as the Old Man of the mountain and Lord Prester, gives insight to other leaders of the past. The Old Man of the mountain was a deceptive leader who tricked people into being his followers because they claimed he controlled a place of paradise. He trained a group called Ashishin or assassins. The Old Man would take a man from the paradise and ask him from where he came; the man would reply, “that he came from Paradise!” (Polo book 1 Chapter 24) The Old Man used this illusion to motivate men to do his bidding. The selected men were driven to do his work based solely on the desire to return to paradise. The Old Man of the mountain was a commander of deception. Even though he used an illusion he was able to secure his kingdom, making him an effective leader. He did not seem interested in invading other areas, but to maintain the system he had created.

This is because although art reveals the truth, by denying certain forms of art such truth is unfortunately subverted. As a result, the potential to grow from art as a fluid narrative is also withheld. The reason why art must constantly reinvent itself is that there is not one single uniform truth when it comes to its interpretation and as time changes, interpretations change.
