Standing up here, in front you all, I would like to present my speech under the title:

"Sharing and Caring for a Happy Life"

Allah said in his book{Al Maidah:2}:


(Help you one another in righteousness and piety, but help you not one another in rancor: fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment)

Dear friends, what do live for? What is the purpose of our life? The purpose of life, according to James A. Ketches (the writer of "Talking to Duck, rediscovering the joy and meaning of your life") he says life is joy.
And it means that we are aware of the fact that life is a process. More precisely circular process involves continuous development, change, variety and growth. Then the key to our own happiness lies within us, in our very soul. The concept of happy life is that "happiness lies in helping others". What do you think? How could it be? Well, one of main human characteristics is sociability, where they can’t live without the existence of other people. In other word that everyone needs share and care with others. By sharing our joy, happiness, sorrow and sadness, they make us learn more how valuable this life if it is by caring for others sorrow, misery, and sadness. It will make us be more sensible person.
And then everything goes harmonious in life. When things go harmonious in life, undoubtedly we could feel a happy life. What brings this, do you still remember? Yes, they are share and care. No one will share things they possess unless they feel joy within themselves. And no one will care for something or someone unless everyone will care for them in return.
You don't have to do great things to be happy and content in life, because happiness is great in itself. Happiness is not always something big and great. Everyone deserves happiness. Look! How about those who are not lucky enough in their life? For example: There were a huge number of victims on earthquake that shook Jogyakarta last year. Many of them lost their family, fathers, mothers, children, and their beloved persons. Many of them lost their precious belongings, houses, and many others. And many of them badly injured and got hospitalized! It is really a miserable view for us all that we must heal them with our care by sharing them a part of our happiness. By those all, I believe that you will definitely learn much about life. Let's heal them, who are in pain. Okay my friends, I will sing Michael Jackson’s song.

"………….heal the world, make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living,
Make it a better place for you and for me"

Take a look around. Then you will realize that you have no reason to be ungrateful with your life. This is all from my little speech. And I hope you will be happy in your life. Thank you very much for your attention.

Wassalamu ‘alaikum Wr. Wb.
