* Being a Leader Without Being a Leader

The ship sailed mortal life, save a million colors, presenting a variety of sound, bringing a variety of problematic, canvases depict sketches, photographing different cultures.

Parmin walking through the halls, shaking the leaves on the roadside. Trail ends at the end of the road, he began to pass through the rice field. Newly planted rice, waving in the breeze, softly waved at everyone who passes by. He jumped the little time at the edge of rice fields, crossing the river with a bridge of wood, each stepping foot swing bridge, evoking a sense of worry. Steady footsteps, nothing can stop. Goes on in between the trees that lined teak, trees began to collapse, eaten by human greed. As far as the eye could see, only one of two teak trees within sight of each other apart, maybe in the near future will be depleted.

Stepped foot passing through the houses are too far from each other. Living in remote villages, far from the hustle and bustle. Nearly four-kilometer walk. Do not feel tired body, do not feel fatigue coming, do not feel the fatigue, that there is a responsibility of the chest to educate future generations in the village, a generation who knows the changing nation.

Staring eyes, the distance that can be reached through the senses. From a distance, Madrasah building and Tsanawiyah Diniyah boarding school run by Al-Ihsan began to appear. Five-kilometer journey had no meaning, when present in front of goal. Every day he walked a distance of five kilometers, in order to teach the children in his village.

Parmin trying to come first to the Madrasah, though usually preceded the management schools. Displayed clearly in his eyes, the teacher should be a role model for students, including coming first. Students in the village are not eager to learn. They sometimes go, sometimes not. Class size in normal conditions about 15-18 people, one class often contains only 10 people, it was mostly living in boarding schools. He never investigated it; anyone help parents in the fields, there are mothers who come shopping to the market within twenty miles, there is help his father fishing in the river, there are indeed lazy, without any serious attention from their parents.

This did not discourage Parmin steps to keep teaching at Madrasah, the honor of teaching which is not much in number, not even enough to meet the needs of everyday life. He was excited to see the material taught is not obtained, but the dedication of life in children in his village, so they can become educated children who do not like their parents. He believes that education is an appropriate means to help a person can navigate life, forming a noble character, to improve their circumstances in the future, so that the act not just by feel, also with the thought.

Teachers in Madrasah of nine people, each teacher taught a variety of materials with different classes. The spirit of teaching and his colleagues did not like him. So sometimes he teaches two to three different classes at the same time. This is what forced him to be more diligent in teaching, if not, a lot of empty class without teaching. Something that would endanger the survival Madarasah, and endanger the overall education of students. This makes the manager put him as a teacher of exemplary schools. Actually, he often lived in boarding schools offered to guarantee the necessities of life, he is not willing, because it has different responsibilities in mushallah home.

Imagination fly freely in the air, flapping their wings cleave the clouds, the earth around freely, making Parmin oblivious to the students at Madrasah. Means that the lessons will start simultaneously with the bell tolling. He stepped into the classroom IV Diniyah in the middle.

"Assalamu, boys!"

"Wa'alaikum greetings, Ustadz!"

Parmin appeared at the door, shaking hands greeted his students one by one, there are 11 people in attendance. Shaking hands with the student teacher, became a symbol of the strong bond between them. Ties that made him feel at home, teaching in a variety of conditions.

"For the moral lesson this time, we will membelajari how to respect older people. Child-anaaak ready? "

"Siaaap, Ustadz!"

"Tell ye, and Sulis Sutarji come forward! 'Two students came forward.

"The others look to the future! If my parents both of you, what do after school? "

"Jump into the kitchen, dining, Ustadz!" Said one of his pupils

"Huuuh! Eating alone is left in the care, your stomach later exploded, "said the other.

"Ha ha ha!" They laugh, he just smiled.

"Look again! Sulis and Sutarji try standing near the door! Once home from school greet parents in the house! Try to say hello. "

"Assalamu!"

"After that look for your parents, shake his hand. If I were your parents, try to shake my hand! "Sutarji Sulis and shook his hand. "That's how deferential to parents after school. Children understand? "

"Mengertiii!"

"You two sit back!"

"Assalamu!" The sound of someone from outside the classroom.

"Wa'alaikum greetings. Please come in! "

"Ustadz! class III Tsanawiyah no teacher, "said a student upon entering the classroom.

"Wait a minute, I'll be there!"

"Good, Ustadz!" The student returned to class.

"Children, how do I write now try to respect their parents after school. Later I value. "

Parmin III headed junior secondary classrooms, happened to the material being taught Indonesian language, he teaches poetry. He noted the work of his own poetry, which is recorded in the diary on the board.

I do not I

I'm the real face of freedom

Wills like froth on the ocean

Thinking through space life time

Playing in the vortex

Acting outside the specified rail

I water

Worldwide life-giving feast

Satisfy the human thirst

Greening the earth

I flushed the wind blows

Stroking human misery

Exhaled breaths of happy

Remove sorrow lara

I'm trying to perfect the human

Express themselves in various colors

Set the contents of the cranium

Incarnates himself ruler

Turning on the conscience

Initiative gave birth to babies

Improve facial wrinkles world

"Children, wrote this poem! After the reading exercise, then will I ordered one by one to read next. "

Parmin stepped outside, pursue studies in class IV Diniyah morals. Tasks are not incidental, lived all my heart, soul absorbed, carried out without complaint.

At 13.00 Parmin went home, got home two hours later. Then perform the 'Asr prayer and go to the fields, watering the cucumbers are almost harvested, clean grass and goat menyabitnya for food at home. New home before sunset.

Parmin bathing, preparing to teach the Koran. He taught the children at the mosque not far from his home until Isha '. Finished evening prayers' to give recitals at the village about an hour. New dinner and to rest himself, accompanied by his wife of understanding, willing to live together in all circumstances, accept what is where my husband. Wake up early morning, preparing to teach at the Madrasah back.

That's every day routine activities. Not ejected from the mouth of complaints, especially useless lamentation, which brings sadness and demoralizing in the chest. For him life is a reality that must be endured, either bitter or sweet. Any color will save lives that are present on the deeper meaning for themselves. Bitter or sweet depending on how one views life, sometimes bitter into something sweet when viewed correctly, and so bitter sweet if it is deemed wrong.

One day, his body heat, almost discouraged to go teach. Shadow of the abandoned children, forced leave teaching, although his wife is prohibited.

Mild disease is not a barrier to a service. Departure to Madarasah, an inner victory over indulgence of the body outward, which demands are served by rest. It is precisely the set of teaching, to not feel the body heat. Arriving at the Madrasah, he felt healthy again.

"Ustadz! Why does stand a very solid lead this activity? "Said one resident.

"Living a full schedule of activities, not seen at home or not, happy or not. How the activity undertaken is more important. When the time surrounding the life of every day, successfully conquered by a variety of activities, we utilize the full potential that God bestowed on us. Grace of mind, heart, imagination, a healthy body, should be used to produce something that is meaningful to life. "

"Employee does not fit in with the results obtained."

"If life is seen from the results, this world will end. Because the results are not all the time along with the process, when not balanced we will feel disappointed, frustrated, stressed, and dizziness. Then perform an optimal process, should not expect optimal results as well. Believe me! With the optimal process, we will reach the meaning of life. Meaning of life which will lead to wisdom, the highest good, perfect happiness. So we could catch fish in murky water without a ripple. "

"What does that have reached the stage?"

"Not yet. I believe it will get there one day. The time it will record what we have done in the world, a place of rest for a moment that at times can ditingkalkan. "

"Ustadz is a real character, who dreamed of attendance by the entire people of Indonesia. Does the exact figure to be without the cast of characters, which are able to mobilize all its potential for the welfare and prosperity of the people. Without seeing the rewards are obtained, regardless of the results obtained, with no strings attached. Should Amien Rais, Aa Gym, Ary Ginanajar, Arifin Ilham, Gus Dur, Megawati, Soetanto and Bambang Yudhoyono, are currently studying at. Presence does more meaningful for the people of the character itself. "

"Do not joke!" Parmin a genuine smile. Smile that signals that do not float cradle compliment. Praise is a poison that can kill. He was careful of the poison, so do not ever care.

Parmin there because they want to be. He incarnated in reality as being capable of controlling the momentary desires of the body, controlling the desire of desire, the heart guides the service, encouraging the mind to digest life, turn on the imagination in order to reach the hidden meaning of life is always a mystery, utilizing the mind to be useful to others.

Mystery of life will be revealed if the mind is not only controlling the mind, heart, liver control, body control the body, controlling imagination imagination. Summarizes all the potential in an act of life, which will guide the unfolding of the mystery of human life.
