The Benefit of Facebook for the Writer

At this time facebook became a phenomenon. Almost all the circles knew facebook and felt his benefit.

From politicians, the artist, the school child could to the writer receive the benefit when using him exactly.

For us as the writer, facebook could be made the promotion site for our articles by us. If many publishers who knew the quality of our article, then the opportunity of becoming the writer in this publisher will be open wide.

So, should not use facebook only to gladly, but utilised facebook to promote himself and our capacity.

Looking for Safe Work Shoes? Timberland is the solution

As a writer, I had received the task to write about the worker in a project of the forest opening. I saw many incidents there as my article reference.

I saw these workers carried out his work without using the equipment that could protect them from the danger. Imagined, when carrying out the felling of wood, they only used normal shoes that resulted in the wound to them.

At one time, there was a worker who was stricken by the exact big wood discount concerning foot him. Because of not using true work shoes, then foot the worker was wounded serious and must be brought to the hospital. If they used exact shoes, possibly the incident will not injure himself.

Therefore, I deliberate looked for information in the Internet about shoes that were safe for the felling worker of wood. And I found Timberland Pro Boots that was very safe was used by these workers.

Timberland Boots was the famous make because of his quality. Apart from safe, their shoes also comfortable was used as well as durable.

If I found these Timberland shoes before the incident struck this worker, possibly the accident might not happen.

Writing is Art (II)

More far if we entered in the Neuro Linguistic Programming concept (Programming words in the nervous system) that was introduced by Dr. Richard Bandler and John Grinder during the 1970 's, we then found the connection wrote as art at the same time skills lived.

NLP briefly him said that anything that entered the body someone, both verbally and non-verbally (both by himself and the other person), will become the program in nerves someone. In other words, in fact the behaviour of humankind was results aktivasi of the habit (habits) or the available program on the brain someone.

For example, if someone always failed wrote, then afterwards he was thoughtful in his marrow of a sentence: “I could not write. ” That words in an occurring manner was thought about and it was said will be programed to a characteristic or the character so as this person really could not write for the length of his life, except for being carried out pemograman repeated.

Therefore, NLP could be used to program repeated (reprogramming) as therapy or counselling changed something that was bad became good. NLP assumed that content obeyed the structure and not opposite —like writing the book that content obeyed outline (the framework of the article).

NLP personally because of using the language or words in practice for me was art programming the language as in the case of wrote (art arranged and plaited words). I then believing that wrote including means of activating or practising NLP. But, this book not will discuss the theory or the NLP practice through wrote despite in one sub-chapter was tried by me expressed the creative process hynoptic writing in the style of Joe Vitalae. I only wanted to show the strength wrote as art (beautiful and useful) that had the strength or the difference power for somebody— his writer and the reader.

Writing is Art

Writing is art. Therefore, the capacity wrote often also was connected with the capacity literature. In the world of literature was known by the principle dulce and utile that was significant beautiful and useful.

The literary work preferably filled the principle as beautiful and useful art. The writer's expression by arranging or plaiting words to something that was significant from beginning to be light, explicit, to deep could be categorised as the art expression.

This expression of art of words if being connected in 8 theories of multi-intelligence (multiple intelegences) Howard Gardner entered the category of linguistic intelligence.

This linguistic intelligence could have developed since childhood as the excessive capacity that was owned by a child. Therefore, we might not surprised if having the child still was seven or eight years old could have written the short story, in fact wrote the book!

to be continued....

We are Not the Person Failed

Although education in the school failed to print us to the writer, we not the person failed. Still had time to train us with the capacity wrote—including the important capacity in this information age.

If at this time the world of the internet enabled us to have facilities web personal, blog personal, in fact a personal space had a name friendster or facebook, could you express thoughts as well as your capacity without the article? You really needed the capacity wrote if not wanting to face many failures in the expression, the creation, and the innovation.

This just call name the dream comes true ... You must make it true after being aroused from being sound asleep that writing the book was difficult. Remembered once more: not easy, but tactical. Was not difficult, but was full of the determination and the struggle. You not the person failed, you definitely could be wrote the book.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

In December 2007, J.K. Rowling unveiled The Tales of Beedle the Bard, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard Edition
a very special book of five fairy tales illustrated by the bard herself, embellished with silver ornaments and mounted moonstones. Amazon was fortunate to come into possession of one of the original copies, and it was our privilege to share images and reviews of this incredible artifact. Now J.K. Rowling is giving millions of Harry Potter fans worldwide cause for celebration with a new edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, available December 4, 2008.

Offering the trademark wit and imagination familiar to Rowling's legions of readers--as well as Aesop's wisdom and the occasional darkness of the Brothers Grimm--each of these five tales reveals a lesson befitting children and parents alike: the strength gained with a trusted friendship, the redemptive power of love, and the true magic that exists in the hearts of all of us. Rowling's new introduction also comments on the personal lessons she has taken from the Tales, noting that the characters in Beedle's collection "take their fates into their own hands, rather than taking a prolonged nap or waiting for someone to return a lost shoe," and "that magic causes as much trouble as it cures."

But the true jewel of this new edition is the enlightening and comprehensive commentary (including extensive footnotes!) by Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, who brings his unique wizard's-eye perspective to the collection. Discovered "among the many papers which Dumbledore left in his will to the Hogwarts Archives," the venerable wizard's ruminations on the Tales allow today's readers to place them in the context of 16th century Muggle society, even allowing that "Beedle was somewhat out of step with his times in preaching a message of brotherly love for Muggles" during the era of witch hunts that would eventually drive the wizarding community into self-imposed exile. In fact, versions of the same stories told in wizarding households would shock many for their uncharitable treatment of their Muggle characters.

Professor Dumbledore also includes fascinating historical backstory, including tidbits such as the history and pursuit of magic wands, a brief comment on the Dark Arts and its practitioners, and the struggles with censorship that eventually led "a certain Beatrix Bloxam" to cleanse the Tales of "much of the darker themes that she found distasteful," forever altering the meaning of the stories for their Muggle audience. Dumbledore also allows us a glimpse of his personal relationship to the Tales, remarking that it was through "Babbity Rabbity and Her Cackling Stump" that "many of us [wizards] first discovered that magic could not bring back the dead."

Both a wise and delightful addition to the Harry Potter canon, this new translation of The Tales of Beedle the Bard is all that fans could hope for and more--and an essential volume for the libraries of Muggles, wizards, and witches, both young and old.

The Children's Voice Campaign
Children's High Level Group The Tales of Beedle the Bard is published by The Children’s High Level Group (CHLG), registered charity number 1112575, a charity co-founded in 2005 by J.K. Rowling and Emma Nicholson MEP to make life better for vulnerable children.

• All five fairy tales from the original The Tales of Beedle the Bard
