Adzan shalat Dhuhur berkumandang dari masjid di kantor Walikota Palopo, Sulawesi Selatan, siang itu. Hampir seluruh pegawai bergegas menuju masjid untuk menunaikan shalat. Sebagian pegawai pria lengkap dengan kopiahnya, sementara pegawai wanita lengkap dengan busana Muslimah.
Situasi di atas adalah pemandangan sehari-hari di kantor tersebut. Shalat berjamaah diharuskan bagi seluruh pegawai Muslim. Tak hanya itu, di kantor ini juga diwajibkan berjilbab bagi Muslimah, bisa mengaji, serta khuruj (keluar wilayah untuk berdakwah dengan waktu yang telah ditentukan). Semua itu tertuang dalam surat edaran Walikota Palopo dengan nomor 450/160/Kesra/IV/2009, perihal Peningkatan Shalat Berjamaah dan Kerjasama Dakwah dengan Jamaah Tabligh.
Tapi jangan salah, semua ini bukan paksaan. Semuanya berjalan dengan kesadaran setelah para pegawai mengikuti pesantren kilat yang diberi nama Bimbingan dan Latihan Mental Spiritual. Hasil kerjasama Pemda Palopo dan Jamaah Tabligh (JT).
Cooperation and implicature
Cooperation and implicature
In our daily life, speakers and listeners involved in conversation are generally cooperating with each other. In other words, when people are talking with each other, they must try to converse smoothly and successfully. In accepting speakers’ presuppositions, listeners have to assume that a speaker is not trying to mislead them. This sense of cooperation is simply one in which people having a conversation are not normally assumed to be trying to confuse, trick, or withhold relevant information from one another.
However, in real communication, the intention of the speaker is often not the literal meaning of what he or she says. The real intention implied in the words is called conversational implicature.
Example:
[1]
However, in real communication, the intention of the speaker is often not the literal meaning of what he or she says. The real intention implied in the words is called conversational implicature.
Example:
[1]
A: Can you tell me the time?
B: Well, the milkman has come.
B: Well, the milkman has come.
In this little conversation, A is asking B about the time, but B is not answering directly. That indicates that B may also not know the accurate time, but through saying “the milkman has come”, he is in fact giving a rough time. The answer B gives is related to the literal meaning of the words, but is not merely that. That is often the case in communication. The theory of conversational implicature is for the purpose of explaining how listeners infer the speakers’ intention through the words.

Nah, yang saya jumpai ini seorang supir yang senang ziarah kubur makam wali-wali yang bertebaran di lembah hindustan. dia rencana mau ke makam syaikh nizamuddin aulia dan ke makam ajmeer syarif.
yang aneh dari orang ini ketika waktu sholat tiba dan kami ajak sholat dia menolak dengan halus.
begini rekaman percakapan yang berisi ajakan buat dia.
me: ap hadrat namaaz karo. tashrif namaaz (tuan yang mulia sholatlah, mari sholat)
the brelwi: I'm a driver.
me: it's ok that you're driver but you're moslem.I suggest you to perform sholat right now.
the brelwi: I'm a driver and I just perform sholat at jum'ah.
me: ap hadrat, namaaz dzoruri hai . (tuan yang mulia, sholat itu penting/wajib).
the brelwi: :)
My happy life in Virginia
Enthusiastically Written by : Ega Erma Sandrianie
Blacksburg, Virginia is a beautiful city that I have ever seen. I have been in Blacksburg for more than four weeks. Thanks to Allah who made easy for me by means of The Scholarship which has brought me to this beautiful city. I lived in Chelsey court 2528, Blacksburg Virginia. Guys, Let me tell you something. Blacksburg is students’ city. In Blacksburg lies Virginia Tech University. Several Virginia Tech buildings are separated in every place in Blacksburg.
Now I am going to describe about my dwelling, my class and my professors. Let me describe it all just for you.
This is my yard. I lived in Chelsey court, Blacksburg Virginia. You can see that there are many leaves scale off. It is because at that time, two weeks ago was fall season. Now, the winter is coming, so all of the leaves dropped off.
Everyday, I go to campus in LCI (Language Center Institute) by bus. On the picture Here, You can see that it is my bus stop. The name of the bus stop is Hethwood B. It is because the bus that pass my house is Hethwood B. This bus stop is around ten meters from my house. Hethwood B usually comes every 15 minutes. If I miss the bus, I have to wait the next bus. It will take 15 minutes to arrive my campus.

What's Wishful thinking?
Wishful thinking is when you really believe that your wishes or desires will become reality just because you desire them so much. It is the mistaken belief that what you wish for is actually true.
Examples:
I wish to be rich and therefore I will be. It will just happen and I won't have to work for it.
The world owes me a living because I say so.
I will get all A's even if I don't study because I deserve them and I'm a good person.

For other uses, see Wishful thinking (disambiguation).
Wishful thinking is the formation of beliefs and making decisions according to what might be pleasing to imagine instead of by appealing toevidence, rationality or reality. Studies have consistently shown that holding all else equal, subjects will predict positive outcomes to be more likely than negative outcomes (see valence effect).
Donald Lambro described wishful thinking in terms of
- “the fantasy cycle” ... a pattern that recurs in personal lives, in politics, in history – and in storytelling. When we embark on a course of action which is unconsciously driven by wishful thinking, all may seem to go well for a time, in what may be called the “dream stage”. But because this make-believe can never be reconciled with reality, it leads to a “frustration stage” as things start to go wrong, prompting a more determined effort to keep the fantasy in being. As reality presses in, it leads to a “nightmare stage” as everything goes wrong, culminating in an “explosion into reality”, when the fantasy finally falls apart.[1]
