Ever imagine, how does one write a book, not with hands or other limb, but with her left eye lid flicker? If you say it's impossible to do, of course you haven't known a man named Jean-Dominique Bauby. He is editor in Chief of Elle Magazine, the magazine that France "pride of women all over the world.
How admirable determination and zest for life as well as his/her preferences to keep writing and sharing the story of her life is so wonderful. He died three days after his book was published. After you know what the experienced Jean in this life, surely you would think, "any problem and stress and load all of our lives, almost no meaning compared to the Jean!"
The year 1995, he was the stroke that caused his whole body paralyzed. He underwent what's called locked-in syndrome, a total paralysis he calls "Like minds in the bottle". Indeed he can still think clearly but absolutely couldn't speak or move. The only muscle he can still is his left eyelid. So that's the way he communicated with the nurses, hospital doctors, family and friends. Here's how Jean wrote the book. They (the family, nurse, her friends) showing the letters for the sake of the letters and the Jean will blink when the letters shown were chosen. "Not playing," said you.
Yes, it's also the reaction of all who read her story. For us, the activity of writing may be trivial and is common. However, if we are told to "write" the way Jean, times we must cry first days and not a book that is so, but maybe ask forgiveness for not told to do what Jean in the making of his book. The year 1996 he died at the age of 45 years after completing his memoirs he wrote are very special. The title, "Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Bubble and the Butterfly).
Jean is an example of people who do not give up on the fate of the outlined for him. He lingers in paralysis and still think clearly for could be someone useful, although to swallow the saliva, however, she was unable to, because all the muscles and nerves in his body paralyzed. But should we exemplified is how he's addressing the situation of living hers well and still be a human being (in Sanskrit which means mind controlled), even willing to play a role directly in films that deal with himself. Jean, alive with happy and optimistic, with a condition such as the figure of the dead body to breathe. While we who live without have a problem weighing Jean, often a man who always complain! Try to keep that in mind what we do. When it gets rainy weather, usually grumble. Instead, it got hot weather also grumbling. Have kids much complaining, don't have kids also complained.
Carl Jung, once wrote: "the most daunting and difficult at the same time is to accept oneself completely, and the hardest thing opened a closed mind is!" Then, regardless of how disrupted our current circumstances, for those who are heavy stress, which are fighting either with themselves or against another person, or family members who are unhappy because their life needs are not being met, which recently got a accident accidents or disasters, for those who are being laid off, remember we can still be swallowed, can still eat and other body moving. So be thankful, and blessed are ...!
Don't be whiners, penggerutu, Prosecutor of the eternal, but bijaksanalah to be able to always think and thank (think, then thank/bersyukurl). In the article titled Failure Consequences Result Success & mind (SPM, February 26, 2005) was written, someone who is fully aware, he came into this world only provided a life (soul). Well, that's life should be treated with living responsibly. With this life, one has to be a happy life, wherever he was, and in any condition, he should be happy. The key to happiness is being grateful! Thanks to what we can is important, including a life so that we can live in this nature. And happiness be created, by not asking (demand) of any kind on other people, but give what can be given to others in order to make them happy. Be someone who felt it is pointless for this life.
For that, you can listen to your own intuition so that act according conscience and generate what you want in life. Face life with a stoic because those lucky not never fails. Not never denied, nor is it never disappointed. Thus many people are successful it is actually people who have much experience of failure.
Think positive, you will be lucky. Many stories about luck comes from events which are not profitable. For example, job losses gave rise to great ideas for starting your own business and become employers. Rejected can bring success. But, to get the luck needed effort. And start now to try!
