Sebuah agenda

"It is true that Cicero would have used agendum to refer to a single item of business before the Roman Senate, with agenda as its plural. But in Modern English a phrase such as item on the agenda expresses the sense of agendum, and agenda is used as a singular noun to denote the set or list of such items, as in The agenda for the meeting has not yet been set. If a plural of agenda is required, the form should be agendas: The agendas of both meetings are exceptionally varied "

Agenda

noun

An organized list, as of procedures, activities, or events: calendar, docket, lineup, order of the day (often used in plural), program, schedule, timetable.



Disadari atau tidak, masing-masing dari kita memiliki sebuah agenda.
Satu hal yang membedakan adalah : terencana atau terorganisir dengan baik atau tidak.

Perencanaan (pemikiran) sebuah kerja atau proyek adalah salah satu faktor yang sangat menentukan nilai akhir atau hasil atas sasaran (target) yang hendak dicapai.

"MIPS and Megabytes. to mimic their behavior. Note the scale. Entities rated by the computational power and memory of the smallest universal computer needed is logarithmic on both axes: each vertical division represents a thousandfold increase in processing power, and each horizontal division a thousandfold increase in memory size. Universal computers can imitate other entities at their location in the diagram, but the more specialized entities cannot. A 100-million-MIPS computer may be programmed not only to think like a human, but also to imitate other similarly-sized computers. But humans cannot imitate 100-million-MIPS computers--our general-purpose calculation ability is under a millionth of a MIPS. Deep Blue's special-purpose chess chips process moves like a 3-million-MIPS computer, but its general-purpose power is only a thousand MIPS. Most of the non-computer entities in the diagram can't function in a general-purpose way at all. Universality is an almost magical property, but it has costs. A universal machine may use ten or more times the resources of one specialized for a task. But if the task should change, as it usually does in research, the universal machine can be reprogrammed, while the specialized machine must be replaced."

"The 1,500 cubic centimeter human brain is about 100,000 times as large as the retina, suggesting that matching overall human behavior will take about 100 million MIPS of computer power. Computer chess bolsters this yardstick. Deep Blue, the chess machine that bested world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997, used specialized chips to process chess moves at a the speed equivalent to a 3 million MIPS universal computer (see Figure 3-4). This is 1/30 of the estimate for total human performance. Since it is plausible that Kasparov, probably the best human player ever, can apply his brainpower to the strange problems of chess with an efficiency of 1/30, Deep Blue's near parity with Kasparov's chess skill supports the retina-based extrapolation. "

Semasa eSeMA dulu, sewaktu pelajaran biology, temen saya mengeluh kepada guru nya...

"Pak, mengapa ya manusia itu banyak masalah?" tanya teman saya

Sang guru tersenyum dan menjawab

"Karena manusia di beri otak"
"Otak itu terdiri dari milyaran sel-sel saraf - neuron"
"Coba kalau sel-sel tadi tidak dipakai untuk berpikir dan memikirkan suatu permasalahan untuk dipecahkan, pasti sel-sel saraf neuron tadi akan mati"
"Jadi kesimpulannya, manusia itu diberi otak agar mau berpikir..." jawabnya

Ya, kita diberi otak (pikiran - mind), memang harus dipakai untuk berpikir - perencanaan kerja- pemecahan masalah

Terkadang kita lebih banyak 'mendinginkan' pikiran dari pada 'memanaskan' pikiran.
Kita lebih bersikap santai, asal jalan, alon-alon waton klakon, atau malah membiarkan orang lain yang berpikir atas permasalahan-permasalahan yang kita hadapi.

Misal :

Masa sekolah atau kuliah,
kita sering nyontek hasil kerja teman-teman kita
Pe eR dikerjakan oleh kakak, adik, pacar, orang tua, pembantu ...

Harus ada perubahan paradigma berpikir



Gambar diatas dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu media untuk menunjukkan adanya perubahan (shifting) paradigma (paradigm) berpikir.

Dalam bukunya



Covey menulis demikian

"Although Habit 2 applies to many different circumstances and levels of life, the most fundamental THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE Brought to you by FlyHeart application of "Begin with the End in Mind" is to begin today with the image, picture, or paradigm of the end of your life as your frame of reference or the criterion by which everything else is examined."

from Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind (Stephen Covey )




Covey bukanlah yang pertama ...

750 years before Christ ...

Tuhan berfirman melalui hambanya : nabi Yesaya

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:(Isa 46:10 )

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.(Isa 48:3 )

Tuhan telah menyatakan akhir segala hal di awal mula

Bukan kah itu deklarasi dari sebuah agenda?

Tuhan memiliki rencana

Tuhan memiliki rancangan

Tuhan itu tertib dan teratur

Dia menghendaki ketertiban dan keteraturan dalam hidup kita pula (Col_2:5; 1Th_5:14; 2Th_3:11; 1Ti_1:4; Tit_1:6; Tit_1:10)

Bahkan Tuhan Yesus sendiri mengingatkan demikian

Sebab siapakah di antara kamu yang kalau mau mendirikan sebuah menara tidak duduk dahulu membuat anggaran biayanya, kalau-kalau cukup uangnya untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan itu? (Luk 14:28 )
