Love What You Do

Assalamualaikum

It's been a long time since I could really post something in my blog. Too many things to handle and manage, sometimes makes me feel too absorb about myself. Keeping up with the reading, understanding the key concepts, training myself in the Perception/Action lab, working on my weight loss, and many different tasks seem out of reach at times. BUT, why am I still doing that??

Your destination is determined by yourself. Start planning today

It's the question that people always asked my opinions about. How to keep on doing what you are doing right now. Well I don't have any answer scheme to that question but I would say choosing to do what you like to do is crucially important as doing it. For example, you know that you hate Mathematics, why bother majoring in Statistics and Management or things that relate to those two mentioned. It might sounds like I'm making things simplistic, but head on, isn't my statement makes sense?? I used to hear a lot of complaints and regressions about things that undeniably true that we could just avoid in the first place.

I am going to give you a simple example, hopefully most of us could benefit from it. So, the question about why we keep on running, working out, monitoring our diets, and weight lifting. For some people, they do that because they want to look good and stay healthy. Some would say that exercising gives them happiness and relieves their stress. Working on something with purpose will definitely keep you going since you got the right direction where you are actually heading to. Doing things that you hate or dislike would be like travelling without proper map and direction. You might reach the destination, but you might be in the risk of wandering for more time than you need to complete that goal.

Especially when you are in your tertiary education a.k.a university's level of education, you actually get the privilege to choose what you want to major in and immerse into. I would say the starting point of everything lies within the boundary of choosing the right course or major. You must and need to understand not just the degree track, but also your willingness to spend majority of your time to work on that choice of preference.

They are behind you because they are too terrified to know
the reality of your strength

Again, I'm going to give you example from my own experience. Since I graduated from high school, I wanted to do something that could connect me with people regardless of their backgrounds or ethnicity. I love hanging out with people and listen to their stories. I keep my goal straight that is to build up connections with people and help them improve their life. When I browsed through the catalogs, I knew by heart that Psychology is what I wanna spend my lifetime venturing into it. Anything that can help people and improve their qualities as an individual would be closer to my choice.

So I hope after this, we could try to do things that actually reflect what we really want to do in our life. But remember this closely, there is nothing came by without any trial and tribulation. Everything comes with something as a price for it, and it's totally depending on us whether or not to really take the challenges or leave the goal unattended.

Macam Mana Nak Berjaya Ekk???

Assalamualaikum

Bukannya ada apa yang nak dikongsikan sangat pun memandangkan sekarang adalah musim semua orang sibuk mengambil exams dan midterms. Alhamdulillah, saya baru selesai mengambil 3 exams minggu lepas dan satu hari ini. Semuanya nampak macam berjalan dengan lancar dan saya berharap mendapat keputusan yang lebih baik dari sebelum - sebelumnya. 

Bercakap pasal exam dan test ni, terfikir pula something yang sangat significant untuk kita semua fikirkan. Jujurnya, saya bukanlah orang yang suka pada exams dan tests sebab kebanyakannya akan membuatkan kita berasa tension dan stress. Walau bagaimanapun, itulah realiti kehidupan yang penuh dengan cabaran ini. Ada orang pernah bertanya kepada saya, macam mana saya mampu mengekalkan momentum untuk belajar dan kekal cemerlang dalam kebanyakan exams.

Saya sangat - sangat terkejut kerana saya merasakan semua orang ada excitement phase dan refractory phase masing - masing di mana ada kalanya kita berasa super rajin dan ada kalanya kita berasa macam sangat malas. Itu lumrah kehidupan manusia, ada pasang surutnya.

Sungguhpun begitu, kalau dah setiap masa malas dan tak nak buat kerja, hmmm something needs to be done sebab itu tanda kita sedang menempah jalan kegagalan. So apa yang patut kita buat bila dalam situasi seperti itu?? Baiklah, pada saya, pentingnya kita faham apa yang dimaksudkan dengan prioriti. Setiap daripada kita perlu faham apa yang kita mahukan dalam hidup kita ni. Ada yang nak jadi kaya, ada yang nak jadi suri teladan, ada yang nak bantu orang, dan tak kurang ada yang nak memperbaiki diri mereka on a day to day basis.

So setiap daripada kita ada misi kita masing - masing which is a very strong move. Seriously, kalau anda ada semua itu, bermakna kejayaan sedang menanti anda. But hold on a second.. Takkan bermimpin dan berimpian jer kot. Mestilah kalau nak berjaya kena ada usaha dan kesusahannya. Tak ada benda dalam dunia ni yang mudah untuk kita dapat dalam sekelip mata. Kalau masih ingat, Maryam pun diperintahkan untuk menggoncangkan pokok tamar untuk mendapatkan buahnya sewaktu beliau melahirkan anaknya.

Apa yang Allah nak ajar kita dari kisah Maryam?? Usahalah walau dengan apa cara sekalipun kerana kejayaan atau kemenangan takkan datang bergolek kepada kita. Ya mungkin betul ada kejayaan yang tak disangkakan akan datang, tapi bukan setiap masa kita akan dapat by accident. Usaha dan itulah kuncinya.

Tentang usaha, saya tinggalkan anda dengan strateginya kerana setiap manusia ada cara berfikir yang berbeza - beza dan pelbagai, jadi gunakanlah dengan sebaiknya. Jangan berputus asa kerana di sebalik setiap kesakitan itu pasti akan ada kejayaan dan kejayaan itu sangat manis. Semoga kita semua berupaya dan bersemangat untuk melakukan anjakan pada diri untuk menjadi manusia yang lebih berjaya dunia dan akhirat. Wallahualam.
