A Wonderful Story

Friends & Readers,

Today, I’ve just receive a nice story, I am so eagerly wanted to let u all read this. So nice and touchful. This is how human being supposed to live their life….  (anna)

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said “I don’t think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.” 
“Is the man of the house home?“, they asked.

“No”, she replied. “He’s out.” 

“Then we cannot come in”, they replied.In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
“Go tell them I am home and invite them in!”
The woman went out and invited the men in. 
 
“We do not go into a House together,” they replied. 
“Why is that?” she asked.
One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, “He is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.” 
 
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. “How n ice!!”, he said. “Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!” 
 
His wife disagreed. “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?” 
Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: “Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!” 
“Let us heed our daughter’s advice,” said the husband to his wife.
“Go out and invite Love to be our guest .”The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.” 
 
Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, t he lady asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?” 
 
The old men replied together: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would’ve stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success !!!!!!”

GOVERNMENT MOVES AHEAD ON COPYRIGHT

Indonesia is preparing an inventory of its traditional and cultural products prior to registering them with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).Director general of intellectual property rights Andy Noorsaman Sommeng said that his directorate would cooperate with local administrations in preparing the inventory. “A national team has been working on this preparation, including the drafting of a law that hopefully will be enacted next year,” he said.

The WIPO is a specialized agency of the United Nations whose goal is to develop a balanced and accessible international intellectual property system. It rewards creativity, stimulates innovation and contributes to economic development while safeguarding the public interest. “Previously, we registered natural heritage products for copyright with UNESCO. Now, we are more intensively focused on traditional cultural products,” Andy said. “We are now shifting to the creativity industry which offers more ideas and innovations,” Andy added.

Indonesia has registered seven properties already, which the world heritage committee of UNESCO considers as having outstanding universal values. Those seven properties are the Borobudur and Prambanan temple compounds; Komodo, Ujung Kulon and Lorentz national parks; the Sangiran early man site; and the tropical rain forests of Sumatra.”Traditional cultural products are now a new issue in our directorate,” said the director of copyright, industrial design and trade secrets at the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights, Ansori Sinungan.

“We have to protect our traditional cultural products like traditional songs, dances, games, crafts and rituals by registering them with WIPO,” Ansori said. “And we have to coordinate with local administrations in collecting the inventory of these products, because only the local administrations know what their regions have,” he said. Ansori also said that the purpose of registering the ownership of those products was to protect their economic rights.

“The patent for traditional herbal medicine is one of the examples. Developed countries doing research on our traditional herbs sell their drugs to us while requiring us to pay for the patents,” he said. He said that to promote awareness of the importance of registering copyrights, the directorate launched an information center on intellectual property rights Monday. “The purpose of establishing this information center is to educate the public on the importance of intellectual property rights,” Ansori said
