Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus

Venus (Greek: Aphrodite Babylonian: Ishtar) is the goddess of love and beauty. The planet is so named probably because it is the brightes of the planets known to the ancients. (With a few exceptions, the surface features on Venus are named for female figures.)

Mars (Greek: Ares is the god of War. The planet probably got this name due to its red color; Mars is sometimes referred to as the Red Planet. (An interesting side note: the Roman god Mars was a god of agriculture before becoming associated with the Greek Ares; those in favor of colonizing and terraforming Mars may prefer this symbolism.) The name of the March derives from Mars

Women are from Venus because the value of love and beauty is in them. As the brightest planet in solar system, Venus must be very attractive and obstrsive. It goes the same way in a woman. Attractive and prestigous.

Mars, god of war is very similar to aggressive, full spirited men.

So how does this two planet get along together?

The whimsical premise of Men Are From Mars is that many years ago, all men lived on Mars, and all women lived on Venus. Once they got together, they respected and enjoyed their differences--until one day when everybody woke up completely forgetting that they had once come from different planets. And ever since, men mistakenly expect women to think and communicate and react the way men do, and women expect men to think and communicate and react the way women do. These unrealistic expectations cause frustration. But when we understand the God-given differences between male and female, we have more realistic expectations of the other sex, and our frustration level drops.

With that said, let's look at some of the differences between men and women.

Men

1. Get sense of self from achievement. Dia akan berusaha utk mendapatkan ape yg dia nak ngan sehabis daya seorang lelaki. Dia task oriented dan akan buat sesuatu dgn sendirian tanpa minta pertolongan org len sbb tu adelah kepuasan bg depa bile berjaya melaksanakannya. Cth bile sesat jalan dia akan cari gak sampai jumpa.

2. Focus on goal. Bila nakgi KL dr Perak derang akan terus ke KL.

3. Competitive.

4. Logik & analitik. Wat keje ikut logik & lebey realistik.

5. Linear. Fokus pada satu benda pada satu2 masa. Cthnya kalo depa tgh wat keje jgn la gi ajak shopping plak, kang x pasal perang.

6. Compartmentalized. Macam drawer, satu2 kotak utk satu2 barang. Satu part tuk family, satu part tuk keje, satu part tuk sukan, etc. Kalo ada problem kat ofis, derang still leh main2 ngan anak2 ngan hepinya.

7. Action-oriented. Sakit ati sket belasah! Sakit ati sket bunuh!

8. Self-reliant. Bila stress akan masuk dalam 'cave' dia tuk tenangkan jiwa. Jangan ade sesapa kaco. Takkan share ngan orang punye la.

9. Need to be respected.


Women

1. Get sense of self from relationship. Bila ade seswatu keje dia ske refer pade org dan wat keje same2. Dorang ni relation-oriented. Dorang lagi ske mintak tolong dan menolong.

2. Enjoy the process. Nak capai goal tu gak tp x fokus sgt. Cthnye nak ke KL dr Perak tp kejap singgah shopping kat Ipoh, kejap singgah mandi kat Tapah, kejap singgah makan kat Sg. Buloh. Macam-macam hal.

3. Cooperative.

4. Intuitive. Wat keje ikut kata hati & lebih idealistik & dipengaruhi emosi.

5. Multi tasker. Sambil masak leh layan TV, layan anak, layan hubby, angkat kain, baca majalah, etc. dalam masa yg sama.

6. A ball of yarn. Sume bergumpal2 jadi satu. Sebab tu derang emo & bila ada satu benda tak kene habis sumer down. Nak marah kat org len, abis sumer org kene sembur gak.

7. Verbal. Membebel, beleter, mengumpat ... bla bla bla bla...

8. Bila stress cari orang tuk meluahkan perasaan.

9. Need to be cherished.


Kenapa ALLAH jadikan dua makhluk ni berbeza? Namun masing² saling memerlukan. Sebab tu kite kene saling faham memahami perbezaan antara kita ngan si dia. Don`t ever expect yang si dia sama cam kite. Sebab tu comminucation amat penting antara Mars ngan Venus ni. Baca la tips kat atas tu supaya kite lebey rasional dan consider si dia cemana. Yang si dia pun sama la, need kita tak sama, kan. Yang penting masing-masing jangan ikut kepala masing-masing. Sume decision mesti kene bincang dulu baru capai kata putus. Especially di pihak kita ni, terimala hakikat si dia lebey analitik dalam membuat decision. Kalo kite plan tuk masak ape malam ni si dia dah plan tuk caner nak cari makan minggu depan. Jangan ego dan bertolak ansurla tuk kebahagiaan rumahtangga anda. Kite dijadikan dr tulang rusuk yg bengkok tuk menyapot si dia bukannye membengkokkan si dia. Tulang rusuk melindungi organ-organ dalamannya, bukan mencucuk dari dalam.

Jadilah istri yang menyokong suami di jalan ALLAH.

"Dan di antara tanda² kekuasaan-Nya ialah Dia menciptakan untukmu isteri²mu dari jenismu sendiri, supaya kamu cenderung dan merasa tenteram kepadanya, dan dijadikan-Nya di antaramu rasa kasih dan sayang. Sesungguhnya pada yg demikian itu benar² terdapat pada golongan yang befikir"
(30:21)
