Kasih MAMA

Nurse, boleh saya tengok bayi saya?" ibu muda yang baru bersalin itu bersuara antara dengar dan tidak kepada seorang jururawat. Sambil tersenyum jururawat membawakan bayi yang masih merah itu. Si ibu menyambut dengan senyum meleret. Dibuka selimut yang menutup wajah comel itu, diciumnya berkali-kali sebaik bayi tersebut berada dipangkuan.

Jururawat kemudian mengalihkan pandangannya ke luar tingkap. Tidak sanggup dia bertentang mata dengan si ibu yang terperanjat melihat bayinya dilahirkan tanpa kedua-dua cuping telinga.

Namun gamamnya cuma seketika. Dakapan dan ciuman silih berganti sehingga bayi yang sedang lena itu merengek. Doktor bagaimanapun mengesahkan pendengaran bayi itu normal, sesuatu yang cukup mengembirakan si ibu.

Masa terus berlalu...

Pulang dari sekolah suatu tengahari, anak yang tiada cuping telinga itu yang kini telah memasuki alam persekolahan menangis memberitahu bagaimana dia diejek rakan-rakan. "Mereka kata saya cacat," katanya kepada si ibu.

Si ibu menahan sebak. Dipujuknya si anak dengan pelbagai kata semangat. Si anak menerimanya dan dia muncul pelajar cemerlang dengan menyandang pelbagai jawatan di sekolah. Bagaimanapun tanpa cuping telinga, si anak tetap merasa rendah diri walaupun si ibu terus memujuk Ayah kanak-kanak itu bertemu doktor. "Saya yakin dapat melakukannya jika ada penderma," kata pakar bedah. Bermulalah suatu pencarian bagi mencari penderma yang sanggup berkorban.

Setahun berlalu...

"Anakku, kita akan menemui doktor hujung minggu ini. Ibu dan ayah telah mendapatkan seorang penderma, tapi dia mahu dirinya dirahsiakan," kata si ayah. Pembedahan berjalan lancar dan akhirnya si anak muncul sebagai manusia baru, kacak serta bijak. Pelajarannya tambah cemerlang dan rasa rendah diri yang kerap dialaminya hilang.

Rakan! -rakan memuji kecantikan parasnya. Si anak cukup seronok, bagaimanapun dia tidak mengabaikan pelajaran. Pada usianya lewat 20-an, si anak menjawat jawatan tinggi dalam bidang diplomatik.

"Sebelum saya berangkat keluar negara, saya ingin tahu siapakah penderma telinga ini, saya ingin membalas jasanya," kata si anak berkali-kali. "Tak mungkin," balas si ayah. "Perjanjian antara ayah dengan penderma itu masih berjalan. Tunggulah, masanya akan tiba." "Bila?" tanya si anak.

"Akan tiba masanya anakku," balas si ayah sambil ibunya mengangguk-angguk. Keadaan terus kekal menjadi rahsia bertahun-tahun lamanya.

Hari yang ditunggu tiba akhirnya. Ketika si anak berdiri di sisi jenazah ibunya, perlahan-lahan si ayah menyelak rambut ibunya yang kaku. Gelap seketika pandangan si anak apabila melihat kedua-dua cuping telinga ibunya tiada.

"Ibumu tidak pernah memotong pendek rambutnya," si ayah berbisik ke telinga anaknya. "Tetapi tiada siapa pernah mengatakan ibumu cacat, dia tetap cantik!, pada ayah dia satu-satunya wanita paling cantik yang pernah ayah temui. Tak percaya... tanyalah pada sesiapa pun kenalannya."


Nilai Murni:
Kecantikan seseorang bukan terletak pada fizikal tetapi di hati. Cinta sejati bukan pada apa yang dilakukan dan dihebah-hebahkan tetapi pengorbanan tanpa diketahui.

Selagi ibu kita ada didunia ini, ciumlah dia, cium tangannya, sentiasa minta ampun darinya, berikan senyuman kepadanya, bukannya dengan bermasam muka, kasih ibu tiada tandingannya, ingatlah SYURGA DI BAWAH TELAPAK KAKI IBU, penyesalan di kemudian hari tidak berguna, selagi hayatnya ada, curahkanlah sepenuh kasih sayang kepadanya, 'love u mom' ..

BRING OUT THE GENIUS

Brain-based Learning is a dynamic multi-disciplinary approach to enhance learning with the understanding of how the brain is naturally designed to learn. This supports nurturing a life long love for learning that can help bring out the genius in your child.

10 GOLDEN PRINCIPLES OF BRAIN-BASED LEARNING

1. Stating young

• Pre-expose your child to new information to provide a mental link for faster processing later.
• Encourage the continual use of learnt information to maintain and enrich neuron connections.

2. Engage all sense

• The brain learns best when you maximize the use of sight, touch, smell, sound and taste when teaching.
• Futher enhance learning by using tools created by your child to establish a sense of ownership.

3. Novelty for brain’s sake

• Learning becomes more effective and the memory of that learning becomes more cemented if the information is taught in innovative ways.
• Constantly renew your approach to learning by changing location, play-acting and using different tools.

4. The mind & body connection

• Always include movement and/or exercise with learning to harness the benefit of kinaesthetic learning and the power of procedural memory.

5. Make it matter / count

• Make learning meaningful to your child with plenty of hand-on activities and link it to life’s experience such as baking to learn about different foods or mixing poster paints to learn about colours.

6. Emotion drives attention, attention drives learning

• Emotions bring on enhanced meaning and patterning as well as create an atmosphere harmonious to natural learning.
• Use positive emotions and feedback to encourage learning and establish deep-seated memory.

7. Stress and motivation

• Bad stress must be recognised and removed as it harms the child’s learning and may even cause neuronal damage.
• Motivate your child using a holistic approach and not rely heavily on reward, or punishment.

8. Respect the individual and her unique brain

• Each brain has its unique pace of development.
• Understand your child’s preferred way of learning while also encouraging acceptance of other ways, e.g. at school.

9. Eat, drink and sleep well

• Good nutrition and adequate hydration provide fuel for building a healthy brain as well as maximises physical and mental performance.
• Ensure your child gets adequate sleep to reinforce memory storage and retention.

10. Learning takes time

• If information is not processed in several ways, strong neuron connections are not made and learning is not fortified.
• There is no substitutes for solid learning that allows time to meld the social and physiological aspects of learning in the brain.
