Always grateful for the fortune given by God the Master of Nature, will be able to avoid us from the greedy nature. Often LOOK DOWN, because many of them are far less fortunate than us. That way, we will be the servant who always appreciate the favors. Because according to the teachings of wisdom, with gratitude then our favors will increase. Even so vice versa.

Not long ago my next-door neighbor was renovating and building a house. The newspaper added three bedrooms on the front and a bathroom next to the house and renovated in some parts of the house.

As a close neighbor, a few days ago I came to Mr. Budi's house, the owner of the house, to see the process of demolition of the building. Understandably, I am not an expert in the field of building so can not help many things. Only occasionally bring a bucket of sand dough, cement and limestone for building materials. The rest has been handled by professionals who are professionals.

Indeed, the host deliberately invited the builders to complete the process of renovation and home construction. No less than 6 builders worked on this project. Almost everyday, except Sundays, they work from morning to evening.

On the sidelines of the craftsman's activity, my gaze is fixed on a builder sitting on the roof unloading the roof. He had a black hat, was wearing long trousers and a long-sleeved shirt that was slightly torn on his back. After a while I observed, it turns out she is a woman. He was more than half a century old.

Not long afterwards, he happened to be down. Apparently it would take drinking water, maybe he was thirsty. When he got to the bottom, it was true that he was a middle-aged woman. Actually I wanted to talk to him a bit, but I undo the intentions because he seems to be very busy with his work activities.

A few days later, one morning I happened to see from a distance, he had come and prepared to start moving. Then I went over to her and asked her pleasantries:

Me: "Gasik Bu" (Come early Bu)

The Mother: "Why is the mask sampeyan durian kerjo?". (Yes mas.You have not left for work yet)

Me: "Seemingly malih mortal". (Shortly leaving)

: "Nengen Nukang nggih". (You become a handyman yes)

The mother: "Nggih mas, kanggo nyambung urip". (Yes mas, to survive)

After a little chat, I left the mother who had started working .........

In my mind I was amazed to see the mother builder. A woman does the hard work of building coolies, which is generally done by men. I'm sure he's a hard worker. He willingly "Hanging" on the tile, lift the heavy weight of building materials, and not afraid by the rain.

All this he did to meet the needs of his family and just Nyambung Urip for the sake of survival. Not the grandiosity he pursued. Enough to eat and can send their children to school is very grateful.

That event is enough to be a mirror for me personally. Maybe my fate is a little luckier than the Mother of the Building. However, maybe I feel less grateful for what has been given the power.

It may already be human nature, "Greedy". The income is a thousand, still less, Penginnya duaribu. The car is good, but you want the latest car again. His position is high, but instead designing powerful moves to get another position. Maybe even in unethical ways. Whatever it is, it's obvious that everything is up to the stomach. Indeed, talking about stomach problems is sometimes very sensitive.

All of that may be avoided if we are a little grateful for what has been conferred by the creator. Then "LOOK LOOKING DOWN FROM THE UP
