"The Wrong Briefcase"

Muhammad Taufik

1. Monday Morning MadnessAdrian Cole had never been late to work—not once in seven years as an analyst at Westbridge Financial. But this Monday, the train was delayed, his phone alarm didn’t go off, and to top it off, his coffee exploded all over his white shirt. Muttering curses under his breath, he ducked into a dry cleaner and bought the only spare dress shirt they had—two sizes too big and banana yellow.He stumbled into the subway station with only minutes to spare. The train screeched into the platform, and Adrian shoved himself through...

Muhammad Taufik

Stronghold of Faith from Attacks of SatanismWherever I live, emotional disturbances always delay almost all of my dreams. Since the death of my mother almost 100 days ago, I have been trying to knit my dreams with strong sentences of remembrance or the names of Allah SWT and reciting several letters from the Qur'an in my heart when something heats up my emotions. Besides carrying out the pillars of Islam and the pillars of faith as a guide for the straight path of life to protect my mother's good name, I also always try to perform circumcisi...

Powerful Life Quotes

Muhammad Taufik

It wouldn't be fair to me to blame my failure to find a life partner just because I wasn't settled in my 40s either. My failure stems from various backgrounds and traumas that are still a stumbling block. If I may quote the motivational sentence of a great cleric named Buya Hamka, "Looking for a partner does not have to be established, the important thing is that you know what his plans are for the future. And professions don't have to be this and that. Indeed love needs to eat, but there is one feeling when you want to fight together, then ...

ETERNAL BOND

Muhammad Taufik

Eternal Bond There are many ways to form a bond or chemistry between two people of the opposite sex. One of them is through songs or soundtracks. Accompanied by a song or a soundtrack, a movie scene will become a presentation of high artistic and economic value. Romantic scenes are very easy to unite the emotions of viewers when the soundtrack touches the deepest feelings of the heart. The legendary romantic scene of all time when Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson and Kate Winslet as Rose Dewitt Bukater declare a vow of life and death at the ...

MR CRACK`S LEGACY

Muhammad Taufik

When I was insulted, I considered it a compliment according to the motivation of my true role model, B. J. Habibie, "When someone insults you, it is a compliment that they have spent a lot of time thinking about you, even when you don't think about them". B.J Habibie's golden motivation was born from looking deeply at the clouds while on a plane wherever he went. In addition to the golden motivation that became the source of inspiration for my defense, I also gave birth to monumental photographs that were taken by Habibie's own personal phot...

The Breaker

Muhammad Taufik

The Breaker Ahok was a phenomenal breakthrough when he was governor of Jakarta, Indonesia. His anti-corruption style in leading Jakarta gave a high standard impact to create a government free of corruption, collusion, and nepotism, coupled with cases of blasphemy in the gubernatorial election so that his career disappeared in an instant. Dirty politics by using cruel slander is the easiest way to stop someone who has a very strong vision of idealism. Even though he has a different religion from me, I saw him leave a deep impression on how pa...

With my situation alone at 41 years old, I still don't have a life partner.

He's been my mother's best friend since high school. Mother's friend, she is my biological mother. I just found out now. The mother who had raised me all this time was not my biological mother.
