Ada yang melihat ujian itu suatu musibah.. suatu benda yang teruk yg perlu dilalui oleh manusia yang bernasib malang..

Ada yang tak sanggup melalui ujian.. yg hanya nak kesenangan dan tak nak diuji..

Adapun orang yang meraih banyak kenikmatan di dunia, berasa selesa dan banyak harta, tapi lupa atau jahil yg sebenarnya kesenangan di dunia pun adalah satu bentuk ujian.

Tapi tahukah ujian itu datang dari Allah SWT kepada hambaNya utk menguji keimanannya?

Macam mana Allah SWT nak tapis orang yang nak masuk syurga tanpa ujian2 di dunia?

"Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said,"When is the help of Allah ?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near." (al-Baqarah:214)

Reminding myself just in case I forget.

A Fab Woman

I guess it’s obvious that I was in haiku mode right there. I’d have just left it at that, but a decent test post — for getting the blog layout the way I want it, of course — needs to have some long lines that test the word wrap.

It should
also have
some length
to it,
so as
to illustrate
what happens
when the
posts reach
the bottom
of the
screen.

This should do the job.

here's some video evidence if you don't believe me:

This is upsetting because I love my Canon Rebel XTi, but after seeing this, I'm tempted to jump ship and join the Nikon users.

What was the thing that sold me on this gadget? The movie recording function. It records in 720p, blowing my expectations out of the water! I thought it was going to be another 320px x 480px point-n-shoot type recorder. But noooo! This makes me want to sell my Canon XL1 and use the Nikon D90 instead to produce my films.

Must stay strong...must stick with Canon...

C'mon Canon, the ball's in your court -- come out with a DSLR that will record in 720p!

Have a fantastic long weekend, y'all! Study well, live well, and I'll be back next week!

Several things struck me as I considered this puzzle.  It reminded me first of the one kid in the classroom who isn't a non-conformist.  Who, exactly, is really the most "diverse" character in a room where everyone but one is trying (too hard?) to be demonstrably diverse?  "I want to be an non-conformist, just like all my friends..."

From an entrepreneurial standpoint -- and an artistic one -- I started to think about differentiation between competitors.  We think about how important our USP is, or whether we have a truly different approach to what we do... but the question arises: if we aren't perfectly unique, can that sometimes actually imply that we do have something unique?

Remember -- you are unique and special... just like everybody else!

Anyway, they also said something about my manner of communication. If I piss you off blame it on the test:

Architects are rare - maybe one percent of the population - and show the greatest precision in thought and speech of all the types. They tend to see distinctions and inconsistencies instantaneously, and can detect contradictions no matter when or where they were made. It is difficult for an Architect to listen to nonsense, even in a casual conversation, without pointing out the speaker's error. And in any serious discussion or debate Architects are devastating, their skill in framing arguments giving them an enormous advantage. Architects regard all discussions as a search for understanding, and believe their function is to eliminate inconsistencies, which can make communication with them an uncomfortable experience for many.

Ruthless pragmatists about ideas, and insatiably curious, Architects are driven to find the most efficient means to their ends, and they will learn in any manner and degree they can. They will listen to amateurs if their ideas are useful, and will ignore the experts if theirs are not. Authority derived from office, credential, or celebrity does not impress them. Architects are interested only in what make sense, and thus only statements that are consistent and coherent carry any weight with them.

Is that why half of my jokes never come through? Hmm...

Überzeugen konnten aber auch drei Newcomer der Branche: Die Portale Tarifvergleich.de, Toptarif.de und Wer-ist-billiger.de, folgen mit „guten“ Noten. Vier Tarifrechner bewertete die Stiftung Warentest mit „mangelhaft“, weil sie u.a. kaum einen der günstigsten Tarife gefunden hatten. Für eine Musterfamilie aus Bayreuth bot ein schlecht bewertetes Portal 986 Euro als günstigstes Angebot für den jährlichen Stromverbrauch an – die besten Rechner hatten hingegen eins gefunden, das knapp 120 Euro niedriger lag.

Rund 900 Versorger bieten zurzeit in Deutschland Strom an, manche gleich in Dutzenden von Tarifen. Es gibt zum Beispiel die Wahl zwischen Bonusmodellen, Paketangeboten, Ökostrom, Preisgarantie und Vorkasse. Mit den Stromtarifrechnern im Internet lässt sich mit der Eingabe der Postleitzahl und des Jahresverbrauches eine Liste der günstigsten Stromtarife errechnen.

Trotzdem sollten Verbraucher genau hinsehen. Gerade die Vertragsbedingungen von vermeintlichen Topangeboten erhalten viel Kleingedrucktes und sind oft nur gegen Vorkasse oder mit einer Vertragsbindung von mindestens 12 Monaten zu haben.

Der ausführliche Test findet sich in der September-Ausgabe der Zeitschrift test und im Internet unter www.test.de.
