Selamatkan Penguin!
Mari kita mulai artikel ini dengan sebuah pertanyaan sederhana, kenapa polar bear tidak pernah memakan penguin? Bacalah artikel ini, dan mungkin teman-teman akan menemukan jawabannya =D. Tapi, artikel ini bukan tentang itu, namun ini tentang kepunahan penguin. Mungkin tidak banyak dari kita yang tahu tentang kepunahan penguin. Well, mungkin teman-teman akan kaget mendengarnya, atau mungkin teman-teman sudah tahu. Tapi, bagi teman-teman yang belum mengetahuinya, silahkan baca artikel ini.
Dampak dari pemanasan global, atau terkenal dengan nama global warming mulai terasa (sangat terasa) bagi sebagian orang yang menyadarinya dan peduli tentang ini. Baiklah, ya, saya tahu itu, tapi apa hubungannya dengan penguin?
William Fraser––ahli ekologi dari U.S.A––mengatakan bahwa pemanasan global menyebabkan terganggunya pola perkembangbiakan dari berbagai spesies penguin yang ada. Sebagai contoh, penguin adélie. Pada saat Fraser pertama kali berkunjung ke Palmer Station, Antarctica, Fraser mengatakan bahwa kita tidak bisa pergi kemanapun tanpa melihat ratusan bahkan ribuan penguin adélie. Tapi hal ini terjadi pada tahun 1974. Sedangkan pada saat ini, menurut sumber yang saya dapat, rasio perbandingan penguin adélie dengan manusia di daerah ini adalah 100 : 1. Apakah itu mengesankan? Tidak, kenapa? Karena populasi adélie penguin telah menyusut 80% dibandingkan tahun 1974! Fraser menambahkan bahwa adélie penguin terancam untuk punah dalam 8 tahun lagi! Dan mungkin, pada saat teman-teman sedang membaca artikel ini, populasi penguin adélie semakin menyusut dan kepunahan mereka semakin dekat.
Satu lagi data yang sangat mencengangkan yaitu, pada tahun 1974 teman-teman dapat menemukan sekitar 15.200 pasangan penguin adélie yang berkembang biak. Dan pada tahun 2003, kita hanya dapat menemukan sekitar 5.635. Sedangkan pada saat ini, para ilmuwan hanya dapat menemukan sekitar 3.393 pasangan yang berkembang biak, menyedihkan bukan?
Akankah kita biarkan ini berlangsung? Jika kita membiarkan ini terus berlangsung, maka bukan tidak mungkin lagi kalau 8 tahun lagi kita hanya dapat menemukan penguin sebagai sebuah patung di museum. Inikah yang kita inginkan? Jawabannya ada di tangan teman-teman. Care for the penguin, save them!
Oia, terima kasih telah membaca artikel ini, seperti janji saya, maka saya akan memberi jawaban dari pertanyaan di awal artikel ini. Jawabannya adalah, karena mereka tidak pernah bertemu. Kenapa? Karena penguin hidup di kutub selatan, dan polar bear hidup di kutub utara =P. Kecuali polar bear punya cukup uang untuk mengimport penguin dari kutub selatan. LOL.
Semoga artikel ini berguna bagi yang membaca dan yang belum, semoga baca =D.

Consider Freelance Writing as a Way to Make Money by Anne-Marie Ronsen
Writing is a skill that can be learned, developed and honed.
You may want to consider freelance writing as a way to make a good living from home.
Freelance writers write anything from newspaper columns to web content and even ebooks.
Getting Started
Before you go looking for freelance jobs, you should build up a portfolio of articles. You can write for your own website or blog, offer to write free articles for friends, or contact your local paper about writing a column for them. Work on some articles that you can use as samples of your work and build a list of references for your potential clients to contact.
Where To Find Potential Clients
The next step will be finding potential clients. You can visit some of the big freelance sites like elance and bid on projects. It is also a good idea to set up a website that showcases some of your writing, tells a little about you and your area of expertise, and of course you will have your contact information on the site. You may also want to consider adding a blog to your site. It's an easy way to add articles, short tips and any other writings to your site on an ongoing basis.
Networking is another great way to find work. Think about friends, former colleagues, bosses and clients that would be interested in having some writing done and call them up. As you start building your own client base, ask for referrals. Do you know someone that successfully freelances now? Ask them for advice on getting started and spend some time with them. They may refer clients to you that they don't have time for. Do the same for other freelancers if you are contacted with a project you can't handle.
Many magazines will accept freelance work. Keep a spreadsheet with names and addresses of the editors of the various publications and pitch story ideas on a regular basis. It can be tough to get a foot in the door with magazines, but once you start getting published it will become easier and in many cases more lucrative.
Getting Paid
How much you will get paid will largely depend on the size of the project and how involved it is. Short articles on general topics that don't require research may pay as little as $5.00 a piece while doing research for and writing an ebook may bring you several hundred dollars.
If you love writing about a variety of topics, I encourage you to give freelance writing a try. It's a great way to do what you love and stay home with the kids at the same time. The main key to becoming a successful freelance writer is to practice writing all the time, whether you get paid for it or not. Just get out a pen and paper, or open you favorite text editor and start writing.
Some freelancers hesitate to ask for referrals because they feel it is unprofessional. They feel asking for referrals is like asking for a favor. That is not the case. If you have faith in your ability to deliver good work you are actually helping your client because of your willingness to provide quality work to their friends or business associates. That will reflect well on them too. It is a two-way street.
Write with meaning; write with truth and skill. Write because you must, not as a path to riches and stardom. It may come; it may not.
The real writers (beginner and pro) don't talk about it; they do it. Be one of those.
NEVER STOP WRITING. Don't make publication of your work the ends and means for your writing. Write because you love to write!
