The one that makes Yudhis eager to learn guitar is after her relationship with Jason Mraz songs. By means of Youtube, we exploring with Jason Mraz. For us, Jason Mraz is Yudhis ‘s Professo.  Jason Mraz and his songs are the kind we like. His songs are very well be heard, sung with a guitar technique that is creative and always full of "soul".

One's body is not as celebrities, but as the guy next door is friendly and fun. In notability, he stated that his goal is to someday return home to San Diego, becoming part of the community, and render cafes that serve the music which can be enjoyed alongside, but not about himself.

She can sing in small stage and improvising, joking and having fun with the audience.  However, the song I'm Yours the same playable and there is officially a concert event such as the Nobel Peace Prize (Nobel Peace Prize Concert). Both are full of soul.

Jason Mraz also always casual and and full of improvisation as "Geek in The Pink", which was played at a concert in South Korea.

In addition to learning the music of Jason Mraz, we often talk about Yudhis on opportunity travel around the world with his guitar as performed by Jason Mraz. With only with the guitar, he could concert and the streets around the world with jeans, t-shirts and hats specifically.

How fun to be yourself, to play the music you like, make people happy, traveling the world, socially and financially well rewarded. Success does not make us give up our true self.

So ... the teacher there are everywhere. The Master there are everywhere. We just choose to learn and autobiography and from whom. Learning is not just about subjects and in school, but it could be anywhere and on anything.

Learn Guitar from Youtube

Currently Yudhis are learning the guitar. The day of the fair because she exercises her guitar as one of the most frequent activities are done in one week. Far more often than math and science.

We had thought to include Yudhis on a guitar course. A few days ago we had a chance to explore and come to a place of course guitar in Tebet. But maybe not match, where the course is being closed.

So, now Yudhis trying to learn the guitar over the Internet. He is wanting to learn to play the song "More than Words".

Initially he was looking for the song on Youtube. Yudhis learned how to learn guitar songs seeking More than Worlds. Once you find a video that he was looking for, he then download it by KeepVid video so it can be played on a computer or MOBILE PHONE.

He's also looking for the text of the song and guitar chord "More than Words" with Google and finally processed into MS Word.

Surprisingly. .. the result fair. He has been increasingly able to self-learning. If it turns out he smoothly learning via video/internet, can-can Yudhis unnecessary courses came out, but was able to learn the guitar over the Internet.

And if the more proficient Yudhis learned this way, for us it is a leap and a great Foundation. It means he will be able to learn just about anything over the Internet.

Learning is Fun

In the past, in elementary school, we used to be taught proverb "berakit-rakit ke hulu, swim to the riverbank. AIL in the past, having a good time then. " In principle, the willingness of struggled and postpone happiness, for the sake of a happier future.

The principle is like being a general truth, inspires us to work hard and willing to work on things that are not pleasant, for the sake of a better future.

The question is, could we see happiness in other ways? Can we meet in the future and the happiness of the process remain blissful? In the context of children's education, can the success of the education obtained by way of fun in the process of their learning? I believe it can.

Happiness Is an Attitude

Even though external conditions greatly affect the real self, happiness is the fruit of the attitude of our hearts. The same events can have meaning and taste different hearts. The problem can be the inspiration for the hearts of space (positive), the victory could be a source of dissatisfaction (negative).

That's why, in any religion spirituality always put spaciousness liver (sincere) and gratitude (gratitude) as the Foundation of a happy life. For that matter, the happiness of the heart, not the material and external things.

So, the fact that happiness is more of a personal responsibility for us. That is why, it is important to build on the sincerity and gratitude as the Foundation of our lives and our children's lives in order for us (and them) are always full of happiness.

Happiness is The Process and The Results

If we postpone happiness in the process that we went through it, most likely at the time managed to keep us will not be happy. Because the external nature, happiness is in fact insubstantial. Maybe we feel pleasure, but pleasure it is covered by the fear we will lose these external factors.

So, we don't need to postpone happiness. We can be happy now, whatever external conditions we have experienced. If kids are depressed in the learning process, meaning there's a thing wrong. Perhaps the material is not blissful, could also not find the correct viewing angle in his education.

Learning is Fun

The philosophy of berakit-rakit ke hulu gives our motivation to work hard. It is the true guidance. Now living adds that working hard is not a painful thing. Learn it's not a burden, but a joy because there is satisfaction and intrinsic rewards in the process.

How to make hard work and learning becomes a pleasure and happiness? That's the challenge we as parents/teachers. There are about matter, method, point of view, and others.

If I may add a proverb "berakit-rakit ke hulu, swim to the edge", I want to equip it with new proverb: "into the market to buy charcoal, bring back shrimp. Learning with Merry, successfully without cheating. "

Learn Geography from Watching Football

Last night there was a football game between Indonesia against Bahrain in Istora Senayan, Jakarta. I watch her show on TV.

While watching, incidentally Yudhis passing and then ask:

"Indonesia against whom Dad?"
"Bahrain," I replied.
"Bahrain's place next to where?"
"In The Middle East."
"Oo..." says the way to continuing Yudhis dining table to grab a drink. He then returned to the room and play again. When he came out of the room, I said to him: "
Dhis, attempting to grab the Globes. Continue to search location of Bahrain any where. Could not? "
Yudhis then took a globe that we've got.
"It is next to where the Pack? Near Iran right? "asked Yudhis.
"Try search yourself," I replied. I myself am not memorized the position of Bahrain among other countries, hehehehe
Shortly, seeking hollering Yudhis. "I find it, Dad! "
"Near countries where Dhis?" I said, confirm.
"In nearby Saudi Arabia," replied the Yudhis answered with a nod. She then resumed its activities.

Learning Work Ethic through Craft

At the end of 2012, The end it by completing the process of making craft of patchwork stuffed dogs. What processes almost 1 month it finally finished also worked on Tata.

***

The process of making stuffed dogs from this patchwork became one of the lessons for Tata. Not just the skill/craft lessons, but many more are lessons on the attitude of work/study: study diligently, neat work, working in a prolonged period of time, the standard of quality of work, learning and working to complete/completed.

The real pleasure and enjoy the process of making a stuffed patchwork. When Grandparents taught her Daughter, she is very excited and working on a day. But over time, the flurry of attention, The Princess ' shifted on to other things.

Patchwork half so it was later abandoned. When we're finished, she did it with lazy. A new start for a bit, then sleepy and fell asleep, hehehe ... ...

From our analysis, it is actually Tata has already started to have the ability to complete the patchwork doll. It's just stamina and attention span is still short. Be we then utilize a stuffed patchwork it as a tool for improving the quality of Governance for private activity not allowed him to leave with a stuffed patchwork. We ask him to solve it until it is finished.

In late December where we loosen the learning activities of children, only 1 Of which activities we're still carried out, namely complete the patchwork doll of her. Towards the end of the year, we then give the deadline that his patchwork doll should be finished before the new year.

Deadline than we made and The hard work. Throughout this process, we continue to give morale, remind, and building her hard work ethic. Do not forget, mentorship and feedback we gave to him.

In the last days of December, during The already incorporate dakron into her doll. It turns on some parts of the seam poking because that dakron is not perfect. Tata is already showing the face have pitied, but I asked him to disassemble and fix. While The fix, Lala gave feedback on the improvement of Governance. After unloading plug twice, finally late afternoon dog dolls from scraps of The finish. She look satisfied and happy. This is her stuffed dogs. We also are happy with him.

***

At home, we use many approaches the learning process fun. But that does not mean free child learning to love-love. Quality themselves also remains a concern of ours. So, in certain occasions, we use external pressure (target, deadline) to remove the potential and "force" them to improve the quality of his personality. This is part of the process of learning about the ethos of study/work.

Study in the Writing Workshop

Friday (13/5/2011), and the following activities Yudhis workshop Writing Yuk! headed by Lini (g. lines of Evidence). The activities of this workshop is a series of Word Book Day activities (WBD) at the Museum Bank Mandiri, located across from the busway station and the city.

In addition to meeting with homeschooling friends, we meet up with ya a coordinating campaign Syahril Shanty "Zero Waste" in the activities of WBD. Incidentally, Kaysan, son of ya Shanty was a pupil of United Kingdom language of Lala. Be we conversed and ya Shanty as well as being a "guiding" us about activities at the Museum Bank Mandiri is. According to the story, facility at Shanty ya Museum Bank Mandiri it can be used free of charge by the community to hold activities. So, come on for which you want to make these activities there is an alternative place of activities is wide and easily accessible.

The campaign of "Zero Waste" that point is pressed/reduce the amount of garbage in one activity. Of which is to provide a gallon of drinking water (the participants are asked to bring botok yourself), do not use plastic as a food wrapping, and provide a litter box that is already sorted.

Shanty invites us to the Library Museum Bank Mandiri is on the first floor. Wow ... its roomy and very comfortable. Yudhis and directly read-read fun books, while the Ambassador hanging in the main iron door.

Shanty also told me that the Museum Bank Mandiri's Scouting activities every Sunday afternoon. This activity could be followed by the public, everyone. So, this could be the opportunity for homeschoolers who want to make a Boy Scout activities.

Shortly in the library, we had to come down because it would make the workshop event created for the comic. Wanted to participate as well, but since it's already afternoon, we decided to have lunch, play briefly, and then go home. We want to go home before his bus full of people going home office.

Although we came home at about 14.30, apparently the busway is already full. Yudhis jostling to stand again, while she had to withstand the drowsiness and was exhausted. This process still continues because we had to wait a long time to change busway in the harmony. And again, Yudhis should stand. Plus, the ambassadors of sleeping in the sling and the sleepy start.

It seems today to be exercises create Yudhis. In a State of standing in the busway, she hugged my legs while his body swinging as sleepy. Although it appears to be difficult, I'm glad because Yudhis absolutely pointless to complain. We were all too tired. But we are happy because an Ambassador and not fussy.

In his last trip on rickshaw headed home, in my heart I'm grateful and thankful to the Lord that gives the opportunity to the children to learn is not spoiled. I am also grateful to him for having received the gift of a good kids, resilient and always happy.
