Change Yourself Beforu You Change The Others

I am currently undergoing education while at the State University of Makassar, precisely at the faculty of Educational Sciences Department of Guidance and Counseling or currently known as the Educational Psychology and Guidance.
Judging from the direction that I took we can guess about my future will be? Yes, being a BK teacher or counselor at school is a goal I learn about psychology and education.
Becoming a teacher BK ideal for me is not easy, this is because teachers BK supposedly able to make a large contribution to help students who are facing particular problems and then provide alternatives selection problem resolution.
To realize my desire to be someone who can give good advice to others of course I have to start from peribadiku own. I may not give good advice to others when I myself have not been able to fix.
Departure from this fact I'm starting to get used to acting and looking like a teacher. I strive to cultivate this habit early on of the college. Things that might be for others as simple as wearing cloth pants, dress shirt, or even comb my hair did not escape my attention aside, though perhaps not for others is so important.
Things that I may be contrary to the appearance sebahagian student who likes to look disheveled, with pants shredded, or the appearance of an over-hedonists. But again I reiterate that I am doing this solely to repair itself first before repairing my students someday.
A story I read on a blog a professor makes me more eager to improve attitudes, behaviors, and what I did before becoming a counselor who mengonseling others. The story I read the following
"A couple of parents diresahkan by the act of his son who is very fond of eating. Due to his love that was so from day to day the boy became very fat. His parents worried that the overweight child would interfere with his health, in case the boy was the son of the sole. To overcome the anxiety of parents, they go to the expert to consult. There is the expert who provides certain drugs to restrain the child's appetite, and some are giving certain foods, and various kinds of advice. But no one has managed to reduce a strong appetite to eat the boy. In the end, the parents were visiting someone who is not expert but is known as a sage.
After the old man delivered his problems, then the sage told both parents and children to return home, and come back for consultation next two weeks. Short stories, they bertigapun back to his house and came back to where the wise man two weeks later.
The boy was called by the wise men entered the "practice space" unaccompanied by her parents. The sage and then advising that not many people what the best knowledge isis that advice, except to the boy insisted: "Stop bad kebiasanmu it, control your food taste, kid"
Strange, since then the child is changing drastically, suddenly changed his diet to be regular so that his weight under control. Of course the child's parents are curious, the spell of what, or what medication has been given to these children so that changing habits.
Both of these parents, anpa known by his son went back to the wise men to find out what has been done by the sage to his son so that it can change drastically. The sage replied that there was no medication given. Then, the old man asked again. Why at the time of the treatment process, I was asked to come back two weeks later.
Then the sage said. Indeed I myself suffer from such illnesses suffered by your son. To cure the disease that I suffered, I need a restraint for two weeks. My self-control is very important to be able to give advice to your son so I have to recover first. After I sure can control yourself, then I'm sure well be able to convince other people to control himself.
For me the above story is very inspiring, especially if you see the relation to the world that I understood better counseling. A man dressed in ragged for example when giving advice to someone how to become a successful person may be difficult to accept his advice, but when they are dressed neatly and good behavior is accompanied by concrete examples of being successful gives us good advice, words said to be very tough for us and became a very material we consider to be a successful person as well of course.
Frankly I am very perihatin sebahagian with thoughts of friends who said great and has a lot of knowledge about the theories of counseling but have not been able mengonseling himself. Perhaps they are too busy to rationalize the complicated gal, even God, but they forgot to rationalize things simple.
Let's do the big change from Small Things
