Life

Deeper

divingPeople who succeed in their lives are those who are brave to put themselves into a risky position. For example, before one could be a successful businessman, he/she must sacrifice his/her money, energy, time, etc before he/she succeeds.

Life is all about courage. Each single thing that we do in our lives needs us to have that spirit. And the level of courage can be a measure for how far one will be in life.

Imagine that you’re going for a scuba diving. The corals down there are so beautiful that one can’t miss amid scuba. Now, the question is, how deep will you dive? If you’re brave, and confident with yourself, you’ll dive as deep as possible to look at those corals and until you can touch them. But, what if your confidence is not strong enough compared to your excitement? You won’t be able to see the corals any near than if you’re brave to go deeper.

We could never meet anyone who achieved triumph without risking something in their lives. For example, if a student wants to have good grades, he/she will have to allocate his/her time well. When is for studies, when should be allocated for socializing, etc. On the other hand, while studying, one’s seriousness to understand each subject also does matter. If he/she does not dive deep enough into subjects that he/she took, it’s uncertain for achieving astounding grades.

The example is quite simple, but if we apply it into our lives, it means a lot, and it will give a lot too. So, go and grab your courage now, use it well in the presence of anything in your lives, and you will live your better lives.

Awaken

busyOne, two, three. This blog has been sleeping for about three months, and when he woke up, it is no longer in 2008. What a lazy blog (not me).

2009 Resolution

Okay, one thing. Not merely an individual resolution, but more to everybody. And it’s about the event that will be held at U of I at the end of May. May that be a successful one ever.

Oh, and I started my new year with full of joy. Even it wasn’t the 1st of January that made my day (it was on January 9th), still it is an awesome opening of 2009 for me. Why? Let’s just leave the question mark there.

What a Semester

Already in the first week of class, not to forget that will have an exam on the second week. Have to email my ‘momentum’ to ask him to come back from his road trip because he thinks that he’s still in winter break. I know he’s still enjoying his bliss, but he has to be home. Otherwise, I won’t be studying for the exam next week.

Only took 14 hours this semester, but pretty sure that the workloads will be like taking more than 14. Then the additional tasks for the coming event, will force me to be more organized on doing things. Should I be reminded that I’d never be such an organized man, so shall I now? Perhaps, this might be the time for me to change. Wohoo, so semangat. I think I should bang my head on the wall, reminding myself that I only have like 2 more years before I will start working. Oh man, are you serious? Isn’t yesterday I was sitting for EST paper, the last paper for SPM. Gosh, I’m getting older, and not only me, but you too. Yeah, you, the one that is reading my blog right now.

Should I be?

Happy? Perhaps not. I’m glad and satisfied with my life right now (but sure will be seeking for a better one as time goes by), but not for our brothers and sisters out there, stepping on bloods, rushing victims for help, howling upon the lost of their loved. Yes, our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

Talked to a friend of mine few days ago about this and there are some things that brings up interest to me to write it here. In Malaysia, people are banning and boycotting any products that support Israel. I got a lot of PMs on my messenger, on facebook, and friendster about all these. It seems like Malaysians are seriously crazily aware on this matter. But, what surprises me is when he said, that from what he observed, only about 30% of Malaysians take this as a serious matter. What happens to the rest? Isn’t Malaysia one of the respected countries in OIC? And if we look at this matter as a human right issue, shouldn’t it be more than half the populations?

Correct me if I’m wrong, back then when I was still in high school (or perhaps in primary), often I heard about boycotting this, banning that, and up until now, it is still the same method. Is it the only and only and only and only way? If one is to achieve his ambition, shouldn’t he/she prepare a lot of strategies, plans and backup plans, and etc? Left this here, and have some thoughts about it.

It’s Reversing

First of all, this post is not about being offensive to any person, groups, races, etc.

How do we evaluate or determine between good and bad? Of course, the answer is simple; good things are good while bad things are bad. For example, if I assaulted (sexually) one of your gorgeous sister (if you have one), it’s absolutely a bad thing and I might spend the rest of my life behind the bar. But, what if your sister is my girlfriend (which means we are not yet married) and we have had some great intercourse together. Now, what is your perception? Is it a good thing or absolutely a bad thing?

I believe, if I put a poll in this post, it would not be a 100% ‘Yes’ to say this intercourse is a bad thing. Yet, it is unlikely easy for the majority to be against this issue if this question is raised to all groups of people regardless their religious view or any.

And these days, it is just like I argued before that the majority is not easily going to be against this issue. It has been in reversal order when human are about to determine between good and bad. Wait, this is not about being open-minded nor close-minded but this is about distinguishing the right and wrong which extremely reversing at this moment.

I pointed out this concern is not solely upon the intercourse issue, but this problem is actually happening in every aspects in our lives. If you don’t trust my words, try to look around you and observe what people are doing and judge them. When you are about to give your justification, think about what will others say about it, whether everybody will agree with you or they wouldn’t.

Why actually this happen? Hurm, what about the end of men?

Fury

One would become a new-unknown person if he/she couldn’t overcome his/her anger. If in real life he/she is a passive person, no one could ever think that if he/she becomes angry, he/she could become a super-massive-black-hole aggresive human being we can ever see. Laughing? Here is a description of what anger is.

Anger is an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage

Owh, I would be in trouble if i do not cite the source of this quote. So here is the reference.

See the word intense rage there? That kind of anger falls into the type agressive anger and a possible action for someone who becomes aggressive when he/she is angry is to be destructive. For me, destructive is not only towards tangible things, but also destructive towards intangible things. To remind you, this is not a self-blame which is a passive anger. Most simple example for intangible things’ destruction is one could break a relationship as a result of agressive anger.

Power resides not in being able to strike another, but in being able to keep the self under control when anger arises

This quote seems familiar to us especially Muslims because these words are from Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. But it is not limitedly applies only to Muslims because it can be generally applied towards every human being in this world. The greatest “power” is not to be able to strike another, yet to control anger. Why does it so? Because anger could destroy not only tangible things, yet intagible things too. That means, anger could destroy everything. So, control your anger before any unwanted things happen in your life.

Pangea

Credits to Dr. Stewart for his lesson about the Continental Drift hypothesis and Theory of Seafloor Spreading. The seven continents that we have today were actually a Pangea, a supercontinent which the Earth had million years ago. It was one single continent back then before the continent was torn apart as suggested by the theory of seafloor spreading.

Not going to talk any further about this theory, but interested about the idea how one supercontinent was drifted into seven different continents.

The concept is just the same if we apply it to other natural occurances around us. Don’t have to go too far, just look at ourselves. Where were we 10 years ago? Went to primary school, having fun with friends, enjoying our childhood times. Before we went to school, our dad or perhaps mom will give us some money to buy food at the canteen during recess time. Or we brought “bekal” prepared by our mom and shared them with friends at school. Remember how we wrote “REHAT” in the middle of our class schedule?. Yeah, that is the second-can’t waited period for us during that good times. 

Sitted for UPSR, some of us went to boarding schools, and the rest stayed at daily schools. Few of our good friends during primary school were not together with us anymore. We walked through our current lives from Form 1 to Form 3 and after PMR, few more went to boarding schools for getting flying colors in PMR. Again, our close friends during lower form were not together with us anymore. After SPM, the same things happen. Everyone is walking on his/her own choices in various fields. 

We were once together with our old friends, with our families. Yet, as we are getting older, we are getting apart, following our own ways heading to our own future.
