Sermon on the 2nd Floor (Part 1: The Beatitudes)
In the book of Mathew, chapter 5, there's a very famous and powerful exposition that Jesus ever preach. It called "Sermon on the mount" (Kothbah di Bukit). This "Sermon On the Mount" starts with "The Beatitude" (Ucapan/Sabda Bahagia). There are 8 beatitudes that every believer should live in their daily life, "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven", "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted", "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." and so on. But, anyway, I'm not gonna teach about this "Sermon on the mount".
I have my own Sermon. This is probably the most and powerful academic sermon I've ever preached in my career history as an IT lecturer. Since my room at 2nd floor of B* P* Building, I call it "Sermon on the 2nd Floor".

So, colleagues, if you want to quote this verse, you may say, "According to Sermon on the 2nd Floor by Windra, Posting #155, verse 3, it said that Blessed are the ..."
Hehe2... and someday this "Sermon on the 2nd Floor" will become popular around the world and be preached from university to university. This sermon will be a standard for lecturer attitude. It starts from this small university.
