Saya tidak akan memberikan komentar tapi mengajukan pertanyaan kepada siapa saja yang baca postingan ini. Khususnya kepada @bangunkitty.pal jika anda bersedia menjawab.
Begini ceritanya...., jika anda berangkat dari rumah menuju suatu tempat, bisa itu kantor, pasar, sekolah atau apapun itu dengan menggunakan sarana apa saja. Tentu saja selama anda melakukan perjalanan pastinya berjumpa dengan lampu merah sebagai alat pengatur lalu lintas agar jalanan tidak macet.
Pertanyaannya, berapa jumlah lampu MERAH yang anda LEWATI selama perjalanan menuju tempat tujuan anda?
@aneukpineung78, bagaimana menurut anda
Sebagai warga negara pengguna jalan yang baik dan taat hukum, saya tidak melewati satu pun lampu merah, saya menunggu dia berganti hijau baru saya lewati ,,,
Hahahaha, nilai Scholastic anda tinggi sekali. Bisa jadi cluenya sudah terang benderang ya, tapi semua teman sejawat gak bisa jawab pertanyaan itu. Apa mereka belum pernah dengar itu pertanyaan 😁
Ini hanya permainan kata-kata. Kebanyakan saya lihat, orang terpaku untuk memberi jawaban tanpa terlebih dahulu mengobservasi pertanyaan.
Hahahaha ..
Itu yang saya maksud penalaran terhadap soal, faktor pengecoh dari soal itu sebenarnya cukup kuat. Tapi karena fokus pertanyaan dan gambar maka sudah pasti bisa dijawab dengan cepat 👍
Saya sudah banyak melihat pertanyaan yang salah (atau setidaknya kurang tepat) bahkan dalam forum-forum diskusi ilmiah. Sering premis yang melatarbelakanginya belum teruji kebenarannya, tapi pertanyaan berdasarkan premis tersebut sudah terlanjur dilontarkan. Misal, dalam kasus diketemukan mayat yang DIDUGA korban pembunuhan, pertanyaan seperti, "Kira-kira berapa orang yang melakukan pembunuhan ini?" sudah diajukan. Itu adalah pertanyaan yang bukan hanya kurang tepat, tapi tidak tepat, menurut saya.
Ada tipe pertanyaan yang benar. Ada tipe pertanyaan yang perlu. Ada tipe pertanyaan yang tepat dan perlu diajukan. Jadi, seperti beberapa hari lalu Cikgu Fadthalib pernah bererita tentang anak-anak yang ketika membuat pertanyaan bisanya cuma nyontek di buku, penjelasannya ya itu, karena ngga memahami topik. Hanya orang-orang yang paham yang punya banyak pertanyaan. Karena itu, makin tahu makin ngeut. Huaaahahahahaha!!!
Setiap pertanyaan, menurut saya, memiliki latar belakangnya masing-masing. Sehingga, seringkali pertanyaan itu bercerita lebih banyak daripada jawaban yang mungkin dibuat untuknya.
Nah, itu yang di maksud dengan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Mengapa perlu soal cerita, supaya anak bisa menalar kata kunci yang dimaksud. Sejak dulu saya selalu menekankan pentingnya arti sebuah kata tapi itu semua kembali ke kemauan dari anak-anak. Makanya skor PISA negara kita tidak terlalu bagus, masih lemah di literasi informasi dan numerasi.
Sebenarnya jika mau jujur terkait penalaran baik guru dan murid nilainya 11-12, hahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAAH....
TEAM 5
Thank a lot bro 🙏
Apakah selama hidup saya, minggu ini atau tahun ini?
Di tempat saya tidak ada lampu lalu lintas, juga tidak di jalan raya. Sekitar satu tahun yang lalu ada satu di sebuah desa yang jaraknya sekitar 30 kilometer. Itu jarang berfungsi. Mereka menyadari bahwa jika orang hanya fokus pada lampu, mereka tidak lagi memperhatikan dan juga melewatinya karena mereka tahu kapan harus berhenti (ada gelombang hijau tertentu yang berkaitan dengan kecepatan Anda mengemudi).
Sekarang ada jalan baru dan desa itu diabaikan.
P. S. Nama saya diterjemahkan Saya tidak akan menerima pemberitahuan dengan cara ini.
Saya rasa ini masalah terjemahan dari pertanyaan saya. Kata kuncinya ada pada lampu lalu lintas yang berwarna merah. Kata kunci yang kedua itu lewati. Pertanyaannya, berapa jumlah lampu merah yang anda lewati?. Pasti tidak ada karena saya berhenti ketika lampu merah menyala. Tapi ada jawaban yang tidak terpikirkan yaitu tidak ada satu lampu lalu lintas di desa anda 😁, atau semuanya melakukan pelanggaran karena jalanan sepi?. Bukankan itu aturan yang tidak pada tempatnya?
Saya pikir lampu lalu lintas adalah kemewahan, biayanya terlalu mahal dan kami semua dilatih. Anak-anak sekolah dasar melakukan ujian lalu lintas dengan sepeda, sepeda motor, dan mobil, Anda hanya diizinkan mengemudi setelah pelajaran dan lulus 2 kali ujian.
Yang paling kanan didahulukan kecuali jika persimpangannya tidak sama.
Pengendara sepeda memiliki jalan sendiri di seluruh negeri, tetapi... Di kota-kota, mereka diperbolehkan untuk mengabaikan lampu lalu lintas merah jika mereka pergi ke kanan. Tentu saja banyak pengendara sepeda yang mengabaikan lampu lalu lintas, begitu juga dengan pejalan kaki di kota. Di desa jarang sekali ada lampu lalu lintas. Polisi melakukan apa yang kami sebut "razzia" beberapa kali dalam setahun (selalu di hari libur) untuk mendapatkan penghasilan tambahan. Denda yang tinggi. SIM dengan mudah dicabut jika Anda mengemudi terlalu cepat, mabuk, dan sebagainya. Aturan, aturan, aturan, kami dibiasakan untuk mengikuti aturan demi menjaga keamanan masyarakat. Lampu lalu lintas tidak akan menambah apa pun saat ini karena ada bundaran setiap beberapa meter dan desa-desa mengalami kemacetan dengan berbagai cara. Jika Anda mengabaikan peraturan, kemungkinan besar Anda akan merasa sengsara selama dua minggu jika Anda lahir dan dibesarkan di sini. ☹️
I wonder now I read this back if it has something in common with our expression "naast de pot pissen"...
Mungkin saja, karena saat dia kencing di sebelah pot maka tak tampak. Bisa jadi, saya juga tidak paham juga.
Hello friends. How are you?
So today I want to share with you some information about the Power Of Words.
So I am very thankful to
wakeupkitty.pal (70) for organizing this kind of contest.
Sometimes words can make a person weak and sometimes make a person laugh. In fact, these words can give someone the courage to live, while these words can also destroy someone's life. Soft words can give someone life and a harsh word can destroy someone. .Because we put words out of our mouths without much thought, but those words have a lot of power.
Sometimes the word is like can destroy someone's life. Other times the word is like a drop of clean water that can give life to someone.
The other thing is that among the things that cannot be changed again after being used, words are also something that cannot be changed again after being used.
So I request you very lovingly to use words carefully, because after once they are used, there is no way to correct them again. As much as possible, let's heal everyone's hearts with soft and kind words. Then we can be proud of ourselves.Then the world will so beautiful.
So I warmly invite the following three friends to share your beautiful ideas with us.
@alee75,@ayijufridar, @suryanitj.

Thank you so much dear 🙃

Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️
@solperez I think on the picture you use the curator team is not filled out it says: steemcurator0X
How true! Words, like fire, can either burn or warm.
Yes, it's true. A word can kill someone and make someone live. These words have so much power.
The power of words is a good expression but I don't think we can always avoid to not hurt someone. How we weight words, how we feel if we hear them has to do with us. Our feelings make us hear them stronger or ignore them.
What sounds lovely to me, might make you feel uncomfortable or harrassed.
What sounds like music to your ears I might label as noise and showing off.
What is cheering for a team to you, I can see as an expression of aggression against me.
A compliment I can see as a insult and a message as badmouthing.
Kind words inappripuate and the naked truth we all say we want ti hear it rude and insulting.
We are all raised in a different way, culture, norms, values, an abusive childhood, education, insecurity all influence how we feel and what we dmsay but also how we express ourselves.
The spoken word can be mighty but more often it's not heard what is meant to say.
Thanks for sharing your proverb with us.
👍
Yes, I respect your opinion. And I agree with your statement. I think that the extent to which we feel happy and sad due to something is determined by the amount of positive and negative influences from the angle we look at something. You are right. Something that gives happiness can cause another person's sadness. It is quite difficult for us to change the way someone thinks, but we have the ability to handle the words we utter well.
Thank you so much for commenting your valuable ideas dear♥️🙃
I thank you for stopping by and adding some vue to this episode of :?"Monkey Business". Altogether there's a lot we have to think about before we speak/reach out and connect to others. I can imagine more and more people stop engaging.
A lovely day to you.. 🍀❤️
Thank you so much dear
Recently, I have thought about the lone wounded wolf. He walked to the deepest mountain and tried to find a secluded place to stay. He wandered around the forest to find food, which was enough for him. He just wanted to close his eyes forever without worrying about waking up again. None of the things interested him anymore, he never worried about who was following whom, or who would think about him anymore. When the dark fell he walked out of the cave to see the moon and howl just to say "I am here watching you rise to the full".
You're so dark. Are you sure you're not from DC Universe?
I'll bet they are! 🤨
🤭🤭🤭
how much?
0.001 Steem! 😁
aaarrrghhh...😁
Wow you are extremely generous! 🤩
«El único modo de hacer un gran trabajo es amar lo que haces» Steve Jobs.
How beautiful!
Such a nice picture 😍
The lonely wolf doesn't have deep thoughts he has instinct and uses it.
If they howl they communicate. One starts the others follow and it can be heard in a wide area. Here they do it at certain times. I worry if I don't hear them. 🥺
They never cried at the moon. 🤔
It's not their cry for help but yours and I hear you.
My idiom: langzaam aan dan breekt het lijntje niet
slowly and the line won't break (fishery - fishing line)
Meaning something like: if you do it slowly with attention it will all work out fine.
🍀❤️
Is that your wolf kitty, it is so adorable, I had a dog when I was on Mentawai Island, I adopted him and raised it for 2 years of my assignment on the island.
Thank you for the advice (idiom). Now I have more relaxed time to do things
Yes it is mine, one of the 4. What happened to your dog?
It is good to hear you have more time.
If only I were to be a flower, I will take much time to grow and bigger time to have branches and fruit because what has a beginning has an end and I wouldn't want to end that easily. An old woman who they gave a child to look after and she said she doesn't have teeth, who ever gave her the child didn't mean death to him. An old woman doesn't travel because she feels that releasing gas is better done in her home where she is much comfortable
An old man also should be in the same means😄😄😄😄
I am glad you mentioned it.
You think so? It is funny
😄😄😄😄
Jajaja... "Una anciana no viaja por la liberación de gases". No lo había pensado. Lidos y divertidos proverbios. Un abrazo y exitos.
Entonces, un anciano tampoco viajaría😄😄😄😄
Merci
I wonder about the idiom...
Or are all of these proverbs?
I wonder about the flower, it's the end result just no fruit (yet). It will never grow stronger, be a buch or a tree. It can hope but will die hiping and leaves with a bit of luck seeds behind.

not just gas, but passing urine also. Everything comes out for the old body. Staying home makes sense.
Thank you ma'am
Here we are... a new post on X. X started something new and the question is: Should we join or not. Does it make sense? The truth is I have no idea but I keep promoting even if it's with words no on likes to hear.
High guys, how was the Steemit meeting? Did you all survive (cool isn't it writing what you like since no one will read it anyway).
That's what friends are for
I used this saying more than once during the past days.
Fact: friends are hard to find if they can be found at all. It's all about the money (a song but it's a proverb by now)

Van de hak op de tak springen
(jumping from the shoe heel to the branch)
Jumping from heel to heel
Restless, nervous, jumpy, chaotic, upset, angry, excited, not skilled if it comes to communication... I daily (nightly) deal with it at work it's exhausting, the worst. Trying to understand what is told or written. Likely nothing or everything at the same time, lot's going on. Is it saving time?
Once the jumping is over there's silence. A plus is if no answer is required. LOL
source tried to generate a pic but Bing doesn't speak dutch or refuses to show it. Let's say... If you talk like the guy on the picture walks it will be hard to follow the oath. Kind of jumpy.
#comment #betterlife #proverb @shabbir86 @vwrites @fadthalib share your proverb and comment the rest
Be careful, next to the tree is a canyon and no one knows how deep the canyon is. But if you are brave enough you may likely find a treasure cave, even the diamond at the bottom of the canyon. I had been there once, and I found a big diamond, big enough for one person to carry it out, so I left it there, I was not interested it, instead, I took a handful of soil and brought it with me, because the soil will grow thousand kinds of magical herbal that is much more useful for healing the mother earth is a top priority for me. Don't you know that I am a son of Mother Earth, the only son!. And I will sing this song while traveling along the way to the wonderland:
when no one hear my song, then I will use the soil, to regrow the earth over again...you may interested in the soil and sing along with me or take a bag full of golds and diamonds and forget the song I sing for you
TEAM 5
So you stole and broke a part of mother Earth and took it home.
The songtext will always be of all time but I don't think Mother Earth's heartbeat is felt.
I didn't know you can sing. You can do so on a Steemit meeting. 👍
I did not steal it, I left it there, but only a handful of soil that Mother Earth asked me to keep. I don't sing that song, I am just able to humm it
Have you been in that place too? what did you see there @wakeupkitty.pal?
Are you asking me if I was in the tree, stumbled around, fell in the canyon? It sounds like me. No diamond but the warm embrace of mom earth. I like if it's dark and it smells good.
How about the herbs?
Oh my god, so you are the one Mother Earth told me to meet If I went out, it turns out to be you the first who came to that canyon and was able to make it home while many others look into it as the death end.
That guy will go flat. Those legs don't work together. Brain damage? I'll see if you get out. No need we both go. I take the tree and listen to the song. Thanks for sharing!
what herbs are you a magician?
No herbs I guess, ginger perhaps?
Gajah di depan mata tak tampak, semut di seberang lautan tampak. Artinya : Kesalahan besar yang dilakukan oleh diri sendiri tidak kelihatan sedangkan kesalahan kecil yang orang lain lakukan kelihatan.
Budaya manusia hipokrit akan selalu dengan mudah menyalahkan orang lain. Walaupun orang tersebut benar secara aturan. Tetap dia akan mencari kesalahan orang tersebut sekecil apapun.
Kejahatan muncul bukan hanya ada niat dari pelakunya tapi juga karena adanya kesempatan. Maka waspadalah.
Kepada @nasuwaaa silahkan mengikuti kontes ini.

Great idea, let me see if I can make something with sheep. 😁🍀❤️
"A gorilla in a sheep face"?'
Sesuatu untuk menyatakan bahwa seseorang yang terlihat memiliki wajah yang lemah belum tentu tidak menyimpan kekuatan yang besar. Hanya saja dia jangan sampai "dibangunkan".
' Hanya kalimat bikinan sendiri. Maaf.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH... COCOKKKK!!!!
Hahahahaha
I wonder what you guys laugh about. Making a fool of the ladies? Are you allowed to look at them?
It's not about the ladi, dear @xiao-aine. It's about something written on the picture. Tha lady herself is one respected singer in my country.
Why do you think we aren't allowed to?
So only girls women need to cover vips not. Interesting
Made up is fine too. It is how idioms start. Someone was the first.
We also have sayings started by a commercial. You have them too.
I don't think your proverb means "pokerface" it's more like
Stille wateren kunnen diepe gronden or Geen slapende honden wakker maken
Quiet waters may have deep grounds
Better don't wake up a sleeping dog 🤔 no it doesn't cover the meaning...
Aha.... That's it. Someone in your country have beaten me by being the first.
Creepy picture!
I know, riiiight ... ??
LOL
Do you like Reynold's Deadpool?
I'm not sure I watched it should I?
Son lentejas: si las quieres las comes y si no, las dejas. This is a Spanish proverb that means there is a circumstance or situation that we should or need to accept as it is. Otherwise, better to completely dismiss it. Literally, in English the proverb would sound: these are lentils: if you want them, you eat them, otherwise you refuse this food😄 (it could mean so you'll have to starve😄😄😄😄). This proverb reminds me the funny story of my grandparent's cat, that only wanted to eat as it would be a billionaire prince😄😄😄😄
Ps.: inviting friend @xiao-aine
You have lentils we have brown beans. The saying is: honger maakt rauwe bonen zoet.
Hunger makes raw beans taste sweet. No need to cook just wait till the family is starving and ready to break teeth on it. I think it's just for picky or spoiled eaters or those always complaining. If hungry you eat everything is the motto.
@eveetim @davidesimoncini qual è il tuo proverbio?/ what is your proverb?
Very good, it's all legumes😄
Sounds like my mother.
"Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured."
This is one of my favourite Indian proverbs. It's an excellent piece of advice for avoiding unnecessary drama in your life.
Needless to say, drama isn't caused by carriages, horses or elephants. It's caused by people. By wicked people. So it's best to keep them at an arms length.
When I use the term "wicked" I don’t just mean psychopaths who will kill you in your sleep. I also mean those who cause problems for no reason, other than they have nothing better to do with their lives.
That neighbour who gossips about your other neighbours, that false friend who spills secrets about other friends, that monster who wants you to join an MLM scheme..... Let's keep a safe distance from all of them.
I'd like to invite @brianwong to join this contest.
#betterlife #comment #proverb
I agree with you and that's what we do. I can tell you it makes life way easier. My son said a few months ago: If we habe problems it's always because of other people. It's true I noticed that years ago. Therefore at most 8 have my phonenumber. It's enough and better if no one calls.
Thanks for the wise words I will remember them and stick to the wolves.

Musang Berbulu Ayam, ini sebuah peribahasa yang hampir sama dengan Serigala Berbulu Domba. Peribahasa ini sering di ungkapkan kepada mereka yang melakukan pengkhianatan dalam sebuah persahabat atau sebuah kelompok. Musang berbulu ayam ini masih sering kita dengarkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari terutama dalam sebuah persahabatan.
Musang berbulu ayam ini mempunyai sebuah arti yaitu, orang yang baik didepan namun jahat (munafik) dibelakang. Perumpamaan ini sering di ungkapkan untuk menyindirkan seseorang secara halus serta untuk mengingatkan agar berhati-hati terhadap orang lain yang berpura-pura baik.
Disini kita harus hati-hati terhadap orang seperti itu, bisa saja nanti akan menusuk kita dari belakang. Sifat ini ada dimana saja baik dalam sebuah persahabatan maupun dalam ruang lingkup keluarga. Waspadailah orang-orang yang mempunyai sifat munafik, egois, mereka akan melakukan segala macam cara agar tujuannya tercapai.
Mungkin kita tidak akan mengenal secara pribadi akan keegoisan dan munafiknya, orang seperti ini sangat pintar dalam melakukan pergaulan dengan bersikap baik terhadap sasarannya dengan memberikan bermacam perhatian, kebaikan namun pada akhirnya akan menikam dari belakang dengan cara menjelek-jelekkan sasarannya maupun hal lain yang berupa sebuah pengkhianatan.
Saya mengundang 3 orang sahabat untuk kontes ini, yaitu:
@bang.dien
@watii
@suryati1
#betterlife #comment #proverb
Terimakasih pak,saya akan pelajari lebih lagi di steemit,karena saya masih pemula,banyak yg perlu dipelajari lagi terutama tentang kontes
Pertama cibalah seperti kontes ini, kontes ini tentang pribahasa untuk membuat postingannya langsung di komentar ini.
Tinggalkan peribahasa/pepatah Anda di bagian komentar dan bagikan maknanya dan balas beberapa peribahasa. Itu saja. Cara yang baik untuk bertemu dengan Steemian lain dan mereka akan mengingat Anda jika Anda terlibat.
Mudah bukan?
🍀❤️
Terimakasih
Jika Anda bertanya kepada saya, akan sulit bagi banyak orang untuk menemukan musang yang tersembunyi di balik bulu-bulunya. Itu membuat saya sedikit sedih. Bagaimana Anda menguji apakah orang yang Anda temui itu nyata?
Ada sebuah program TV Belanda yang berjudul "Het spijt me". Itu tentang persahabatan yang putus tanpa alasan yang jelas. Persahabatan yang sudah terjalin lebih dari 20 tahun dan saya masih bertanya-tanya mengapa. Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi, membuat salah satu pihak begitu terluka atau marah?
Tentu saja, bagian yang terbaik, dan yang paling jujur, adalah ketika TV berdiri di rumah dan membawa permintaan maaf dan bunga dan orang itu berkata, "Tidak, saya tidak menerima bunga-bunga itu" dan menutup pintu.
Beberapa orang munafik melakukannya, tetapi setelah siaran, mereka kembali bermusuhan.
Haruskah kita mengadili teman-teman kita? Tidak membagikan apa pun secara pribadi?
Ternyata keluarga dan pasangan adalah pengkhianat terbesar. Bagaimana hal itu bisa terjadi? Orang-orang yang secara otomatis Anda percayai dan percayai ternyata adalah yang terburuk.
Saya rasa jika kita waspada, kita bisa mengenali beberapa di antaranya.
Hal ini terlihat dari perilaku dan kata-kata, Hawa di internet. Adalah baik untuk mendengarkan suara hati ketika saatnya tiba (atau orang gila, minuman keras dan seorang anak. Pepatah Belanda mengatakan bahwa merekalah yang memutarbalikkan kebenaran.... Mereka pasti akan kurang waspada).
Pepatah lain yang ingin saya tambahkan adalah: Jika terlalu bagus untuk menjadi kenyataan, itu tidak benar.
Seorang teman atau tetangga yang menawan. Begitu juga dengan banyak orang narsis dan psikopat. 🤔
Pengkhianatan sering terjadi di tempat yang tidak terduga oleh orang yang tidak disangka-sangka.
Di sini juga hampir sama dengan peribahasa :
Bagaikan api dalam sekam, yang artinya bahaya yang dilakukan secara diam-diam tanpa kita ketahui.
Atau musuh dalam selimut.
Musuh dalam selimut tidak terdengar bagus seperti "Tidur dengan musuh"
Itulah peribahasa untuk mewaspadai seorang yang akan mengkhianati kita yang tidak kita ketahui, bisa saja dia ada dalam kelompok kita, berjalan, makan minum, berbicara, kemana saja bersama. Tetapi dia itu akan menerkam kita, akan mengkhianati kita. Maka orang seperti itu cocok di sebutkan dengan peribahasa tersebut, bahkan banyak yang lain lagi.
Ah seperti yang dikatakan orang Kristen "Yudas" atau hanya serigala berbulu domba meskipun serigala terkadang memiliki rambut yang mirip di musim semi, ular di rumput... Alasan mengapa banyak orang mengatakan "semakin saya mengenal orang, semakin saya menyukai anjing saya".
