Perlahan, semua pergi meninggalkanku. 
Masih terdengar jelas langkah2 terakhir mereka, Aku sendirian, di tempat gelap yg tak pernah terbayang,

Sendiri, menunggu pertanyaan malaikat.
Belahan hati, belahan jiwa pun pergi.
Apa lagi sekedar kawan dekat atau orang lain. Aku bukan siapa2 lagi bagi mereka. 
Sanak keluarga menangis, sangat pedih,
aku pun demikian, tak kalah sedih dan aku juga, Tetapi aku tetap sendiri, disini,
menunggu perhitungan. 

Menyesal sudah tak mungkin. Tobat tak lagi dianggap & maaf pun tak bakal didengar, Aku benar2 harus sendiri.. 

Ya ALLAH jika Engkau beri aku 1 lagi kesempatan, jika Engkau pinjamkan lagi beberapa hari milikMU, Utk aku perbaiki diriku, Aku ingin memohon maaf pada mereka, yg selama ini telah merasakan zalimku, yg selama ini sengsara karena aku, tersakiti karena aku, Aku akan kembalikan jika ada harta kotor ini yg telah kukumpulkan, yg bahkan kumakan.. 

Yaa ALLAH Beri lagi aku beberapa hari milik-Mu, Untuk berbakti kepada ayah & ibu tercinta. Teringat kata2 kasar & keras yg menyakitkn hati mereka, Maafkan aku ayah & ibu, mengapa tak kusadari betapa besar kasih sayangmu, 
Beri juga ya ALLAH aku waktu untuk berkumpul dgn keluargaku,
menyenangkan saudara2ku.. 

Untuk sungguh2 beramal soleh.
Aku sungguh ingin bersujud dihadap-Mu lebih lama lagi.. 

Begitu menyesal diri ini.
Kesenangan yg pernah kuraih dulu,
tak ada artinya sama sekali 

Mengapa kusia ² kan saja waktu hidup yg hanya sekali itu? Andai aku bisa putar ulang waktu itu.

Aku dimakamkan hari ini & semua menjadi tak termaafkan & semua menjadi terlambat & aku harus sendiri
Untuk waktu yg tak terbayangkan sampai yaumul hisab & dikumpulkan dipadang masyar…

Ya RABB sampaikan salamku utk sahabatku yg sllu mengingatkan ku akan hari terakhirku didunia. Sesungguhnya sahabat yg terbaik yaitu sahabat yg mengingatkan ttg kematian. Subhanallah!

Kami mengucapkan terima kasih atas kepercayaan Anda dalam menggunakan Layanan Gurfah Media.

Terimalah taubatku dan ampunilah dosa-dosaku, Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Pengampun dosa-dosa besar

Dosaku seperti jumlah pasir, Maka terimalah pengakuan taubatku Wahai Pemilik Keagungan

Dan umurku berkurang setiap hari
Dan dosaku bertambah, bagaimana aku menanggungnya

Ya Tuhanku, hamba-Mu yang berdosa ini datang kepada-Mu Mengakui dosa-dosaku dan telah memohon pada-Mu

Seandainya Engkau mengampuni Memang Engkaulah Pemilik Ampunan Dan seandainya Engkau menolak taubatku Kepada siapa lagi aku memohon ampunan selain hanya kepada-MU

There are a lot of factors that play a role in determining the success of a freelance web designer. Obviously, design ability and technical skills are needed, but other factors like customer service, marketing, networking, and work ethic will have a significant influence. In this article we’ll take a look at customer service as it applies to freelance designers.

Providing high-quality customer service can at times be frustrating for freelancers, but taking good care of your clients is critical for client retention and for encouraging word-of-mouth referrals. Here we will look at 10 aspects that should be considered by freelancers who aspire to provide a high level of customer service.

1. Being Reachable
When clients have a question or a problem, they want to know that there is someone they can contact to get help. Of course, freelancers don’t have a team of customer service people ready to handle calls and emails around the clock, but in general it’s necessary to be accessible to clients. Clients should know the best ways to contact you (office phone, cell phone, email, through a customer service portal, IM, Twitter, etc.) and when they can expect to get a response if they are not able to speak with you immediately. Most clients understand that freelancers will not be available 24 hours a day, but they should know that you are interested in helping them and the best way to go about it.

2. Timely Response
Since it’s very common to deal with customer service via email and voice mail, the client should be able to know that you will get back to them as quickly as possible. The amount of time will vary, but clients should not feel like their messages are falling through the cracks and only answered whenever you have the spare time. Clients will appreciate customer service that involves a prompt response, which shows that service is a priority to you.

3. Organization
Organization is important in order to be able to provide quality customer service with timely responses. Working on multiple projects at any given time, plus some questions/issues from other clients needing maintenance, means that without organization it will be difficult to stay on top of things. Some freelancers use a CRM (see 12 CRM Options for Freelancers), while others institute their own system for organization. Organization also has a major impact on the ability to meet deadlines, which is a critical aspect of keeping your clients satisfied with your work.

4. Patience with Explanations
Clients like to work with designers who are willing and able to meet them at their level, where the designer will explain things in a way that makes sense to the client. There will be plenty of situations where you will need to explain your reasoning to the client, whether it be in response to a question or suggestion from them, or whether it is something that you feel needs to be pointed out. Taking the time to explain things without technical jargon will help to educate your clients and should help to make your job easier going forward.

5. A System for Quotes/Estimates
Some designers use packages with set prices for specific types of projects, but many designers will provide a quote specifically based on the needs of each client. Even for those designers that offer prices by packages, there will be situations where a client’s needs do not quite fit into one of the existing packages and a quote will be needed anyway. Pricing design services is a hot topic that gets a lot of attention, but the quote/estimate process doesn’t get as much attention.

The quote involves more than just being able to price your services. It should also help you to evaluate exactly what the clients needs and what you can offer, the specific details of what is included in the price and what is not, any deadlines and/or project milestones that are involved, and any other relevant details. Having a system will help you to get information from the client that will help you to make better estimates, provide a timely response, and to cover all bases so that both the designer and client understand the specifics of what is being offered.

6. Effective In-Take Process
One of the most critical aspects to a successful design project is getting to know and understand the client’s specific needs, their business, their customers, and what is needed from the website. In order to get this right, it is necessary to dedicate the needed time upfront before the design work begins. Many designers have standard approach to client in-take that helps them to make sure all the right questions are asked.

Putting more effort in to the early stages of the designer/client relationship will help to improve the customer service down the road. A project that involves a solid in-take process will result in a more effective and efficient use of your time, and fewer issues that will need to be resolved at later stages of the process, which will make your customer service much easier.

7. Clear Contracts and Terms
Contracts not only serve to protect everyone involved from a legal perspective, but having contracts and clear terms with clients will help to reduce the potential for miscommunication and misunderstanding about pricing, payment terms, what is included in the price, and the responsibilities of the designer and the client. A lack of clarity in any of these areas can lead to problems and lots of customer service work.

8. A System for Working with Feedback
Every client project will involve some sort of feedback, and many will require revisions from the designer. In some cases, the feedback may be coming from a few different sources, and it could involve a number of different people. This contributes to making it even more important to have a system to deal with feedback and to incorporate it into the project.

There are a number of different resources out there, such as Proof HQ, that are available to make the process more streamlined and effective.

9. Concern for the Client’s Best Interest
In order to provide the highest level of customer service possible, it is necessary to have the client’s best interest in mind. There will be situations where you could recommend something to a client that would involve more money for you, but it may not be in the best interest of the client. While putting the client’s interests in priority may cause you to miss out on some income opportunities in the short-term, it’s a necessary part of providing good customer service. Clients will recognize when you are truly looking out for them and it will lead to increased trust in you, a greater chance of getting repeat business, and more referrals from current and former clients.

10. Respect for Your Time
Just like you need to respect your clients, you also need to respect your own work and time. Simply catering to unreasonable requests or doing endless revisions for clients that keep changing their mind is not required to provide good customer service. The ideal designer/client relationship involves mutual respect and a concern for being fair on both sides. There will be times when providing some type of service to your customer is outside the scope of the contract. In these situations the best customer service will involve a willingness to help the client get the service that they want, but at an additional fee.

Provide the best customer service that you can, but also have a respect for your time that prevents you from getting walked on. A healthy designer/client relationship will produce the best results for the client, improve the chances of a long-term working relationship, and promote a genuine interest in working together for success.

How to make WordPress Permalinks work in Xampp:

Using a text editor, open your httpd.conf file. In Xampp, this file is found in the \apache\conf directory
Search the file for the following line of code:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Next, remove the # from the line as seen below to enable the module:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Next, search the file for AllowOverride until you come to a section that looks like the following:
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Ensure that this section says AllowOverride All as is highlighted above
Save the httpd.conf file and Restart your server
Login to your WordPress admin panel and set your custom permalink structure. Then go view your site. Custom permalinks should now work on your localhost Xampp or other server.

1. Keyakinan yang Membatasi

Banyak orang hanya memimpikan apa yang ingin mereka miliki. Namun ketika harus membuat komitmen untuk membuat rencana dan target yang spesifik, mereka tidak peduli. Sering berkata: “Tidak mungkin” atau “Itu sulit” atau mereka tidak mau bertindak/action. Sesungguhnya itu hanyalah keyakinan dan perasaan yang menghambat saja yang jika kita tidak menghilangkannya maka kita tidak akan pernah berani merancang tujuan/goal hidup yang lebih baik.

2. Tidak Tahu Apa yang Diinginkan

Banyak orang yang tidak tahu apa yang mereka inginkan. Tetapi yang terjadi sebenarnya adalah kebanyakan orang yang tidak berani untuk bermimpi. Kita perlu belajar bagaimana membuka imajinasi kita dan menghidupkan pikiran kreatif kita menjadi bebas…bebas dari ketakutan dan larangan-larangan sehingga kita dapat bermimpi dengan jelas dan menjalani hidup sesuai dengan yang kita inginkan.

3. Takut Gagal

Ketakutan terhadap kegagalan, penolakan, dan rasa malu adalah hal-hal yang menghantui kebanyakan orang untuk mulai bertindak/action. Satu-satunya orang yang dapat mengatakan kepada kita bahwa kita gagal adalah diri kita sendiri.

Orang-orang sukses mendefinikan kegagalan secara berbeda. Kegagalan bagi mereka merupakan umpan balik untuk memperbaiki lagi tindakannya. Mereka merasa gagal jika mereka menyerah. Selama mereka masih terus berusaha dan tidak menyerah, berarti mereka belum gagal!

4. Ketergantungan pada Hidup yang Mudah

Kebanyakan orang cenderung menghindari resiko karena mereka sudah ketagihan menjalani hidup yang mudah, hidup yang nyaman dan mereka takut kehilangan itu. Tidak ada jalan pintas untuk kesuksesan di bidang apa pun. Kita mesti mempersiapkan segala sesuatunya dengan baik, dengan semangat pengorbanan dan kita akan mendapatkan imbalannya.

5. Pernah Gagal Mencapai Tujuan yang Dibuat

Banyak orang telah menetapkan tujuan hidup, namun tidak berhasil mencapainya sehingga akhirnya mereka menyerah. Sebenarnya bukan tujuannya yang tidak sesuai, tetapi kita yang belum sesuai melakukan tindakan seperti seharusnya.

Dalam menetapkan tujuan merupakan kunci awal dalam formula sukses. Setelah penetapan tujuan/goal, haruslah diikuti dengan pengembangan strategi, tindakan/action dan merubah strategi berdasarkan umpan balik dari kegagalan yang ditemui.

Semoga sharing ini bermanfaat untuk teman-teman yang ingin memulai bisnisnya. Hilangkan rasa ketakutan dan kegagalan dengan menyusun rancangan tujuan/goal hidup yang baik, specific dan terukur, fun atau menggembirakan dengan menciptakan ide-ide yang akan menghasilkan lompatan kesuksesan….

Apa yang kita yakini dalam hidup? Teringat buku “Master Your Mind Design Your Destiny” karya Adam Khoo, di buku tersebut terdapat bahasan apa yang menghambat kebanyakan orang dalam merancang hidupnya.

And the truth is, it actually is kind of easy, but not as easy as most salesmen would have you believe. There is a little bit of work involved, and anyone who’s really been successful has put in the time and effort to get there. And they’ve managed to avoid the pitfalls on this list.

If you’re trying to start your online business and things haven’t gone as well as you’ve hoped so far, then hopefully, these suggestions will help.Build a Successful Online Business with Web CEO!

Here are the five most common reasons that most internet businesses fail that I’ve seen, in no particular order:

1. Information Overload

You’ve probably already been inundated with emails explaining how some new money makíng scheme is the hottest thing on the planet and you need to get in now so that you’re on the cutting edge of internet marketing.

The problem is that you haven’t finished working on the previous hot new thing yet, and as soon as you start this one, yet another hot idea will hit, and so on, and so on.

In every valid email you get, there should be an “unsubscribe” link at the bottom. Start clicking on it, and just stick with a few of the people who you know are giving you good information about building your business from start to finish in the right order without any distractions.

And make sure that you see every task through to completion before moving onto the next one. It’s the only real way to get anything done.

2. The Curse of Perfection

Speaking of seeing tasks through to completion, also consider that not everything on your website and in your sales process has to be absolutely perfect before you can unleash it on the public.

So many home busíness owners who are just starting out have a habit of obsessing over every little detail forever before they’ll allow themselves to launch their site.

Stop it. It doesn’t have to be perfect. That doesn’t mean that you don’t need to make sure your website is working properly first. It means that you can work on adjusting small details, such as the color scheme, the sales copy, the images, later on. In fact, if you’re planning to do any proper testing (and you should be), then you should be constantly working on those items anyway.

So get your website out there, get some traffic, make sure the big things are working right, and then worry about adjusting the small details.

3. Waiting for the “Magic Bullet”

Let me just start by saying that there is no magic bullet when it comes to running your business, or doing any kind of work online.

I know that a lot of salesmen make it sound that way when you’re reading their sales letters, but it simply isn’t true. They’re lying to you. And even if they’re not lying to you, and let’s say their system does work, it’s only going to work for a short period of time, and it’s only going to make you a little bit of money. Not the millions they’re promising.

That’s why I constantly warn people away from the “business-in-a-box” opportunities. The result isn’t ever very good. Maybe you’ll make a small bit of side money, if you’re lucky. Besides, why would you want to sell the same thing everyone else is selling anyway?

The only way to have lasting success online is to have a website that is unlike anyone else’s, that you’ve built up into a success, with a loyal customer base, one step at a time.

4. Being a Shopaholic

This goes along with #3 above. Stop paying for every new scheme that comes along because they’re promising you instant riches. All that’s going to do is drain you of your money.

And then, if you’re like so many others, there’s a good chance you’ll get frustrated and give up on the whole thing, because you don’t know who you can trust anymore, and you don’t want to take a chance. So your dream of workíng from home is over before it began.

Or, maybe they’re not selling you a scam, but in fact have valid programs that many people use successfully in their businesses. That’s great, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s right for you right now. It might be something that will be a good investment for your business later on, but you should really concentrate on getting your website up and running first. Otherwise you end up with information overload as described in #1 above.

5. Fear of Technology

Just because you haven’t tried something before doesn’t mean that you can’t learn to do it. Think about pretty much everything you’ve ever done, especially the things you’re good at. Did you always know how to do that, or did you learn it over time?

I’m guessing that you learned it, and you can learn to do a lot of the work on your website, too. I constantly have to tell the people I meet that it’s in their best interest to learn at least a little bit of the technical stuff that comes with having a website.

I’m not saying you have to be a programming expert. In fact, if you need heavy duty programming done, then you should definitely get someone to do it for you. It’ll save you a lot of time, for one. But there’s no reason why you can’t learn some of the basics of HTML so that whenever you need to make a small change to your website (such as the testing we talked about earlier) you won’t have to pay someone to do it for you. And you won’t have to wait for them to have the time.

It’s not as hard as you think. It just takes a little time to learn it.

Conclusion

The most important point I’m trying to convey is that, in order to be successful online, you need to remain focused on one task at a time. Finish that task and move onto the next one. Finish that task and move on. And keep going until you’re done.

Stop investing in every fancy new program that comes along. There are no “magic bullets” anyway. Stick to the plan from the beginning, and see it through to the end.

Starting a new website does require a bit of work at the beginning. There’s no way around that if you want to succeed. But the great thing about working online is that once you have everything set up, you can put almost all of it on autopilot and bring in money 24 hours a day with a minimum of work.

So get started now, don’t be afraid that you can’t do it, don’t get frustrated, and don’t let anything distract you. You could be making very good money in very little time if you do it right.
