Growth through contemplation

Assalamualaikum...Salam Jumaat semua!

Hi Incik Bloggie!

Hari ini adalah hari terakhir untuk submit, assignment terakhir untuk first trimester. Excited! Once submit je, boleh dikatakan dah selesai sebahagian tanggungjawab untuk trimester ni. Then tinggal nak struggle untuk exam sahaja lagi! *fighting Intan!*.

As first trimester student, compulsory for us untuk join kelas special 'Human Governance' (HG). Pendek kata aku boleh kata kelas tu macam focus on menjadi 'manusia' yang sebenar-benarnya 'manusia'.

Aku suka konsep yang diperkenalkan cuma aku rasa ada few improvement needed in order to make it more comprehensive. Aku rasa konsep ni adalah yang pertama introduced oleh sebuah business school. Correct me if I'm wrong.  Ini based on apa yang aku tahu, because my knowledge about other business school is limited.

Bila kita berborak tentang business diretly we will think about profit, expansion of business and wealth. Tapi kelas HG ni cam lain sikit cerita dia, business is not only about profit maximization, it also about contribution to others. Boleh kata macam kelas kerohanian sikit. Kalau dalam kelas biasa dok belajar pasal teori itu ini itu ini, tup tup sekali masuk kelas HG ni macam sesi penyucian otak yang teori2 tu yang menyebabkan apa yang terjadi pada hari ini. See what happened around us. Masalah timbul di sana sini bila kita hilang identiti sebenar sebagai seorang 'manusia'.

Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education. - Bertrand Russell

Just my 2cent, ini apa yang aku nampak masa sekarang ni. Aku juga manusia yang tidak sempurna.

Sebenarnya aku nak share benda lain ni, InshaAllah kalau ada masa dan kerajinan yang tinggi aku akan share pasal apa yang aku dapat sepanjang kelas HG tu. At the end of class we have to submit the contemplation book stated what I should stop, continue and start doing. Masa mula-mula dapat assignment ni jujur la rasa cam apa jadah tetiba kena buat benda alah ni.

Few things yang aku merepek dalam contemplation book aku tu...

The best thing is better if aku betul-betul boleh buat benda yang aku tulis ni. WALK THE TALK! bukan sekadar for assignment purpose! Oppss!

Tapi sebenarnya, penting untuk kita sentiasa muhasabah diri. Not necessaryly nak kena tulis dalam buku macam ni kan. Paling simple, jujur dengan diri muhasabah sebelum tidur or as muslim take time selepas solat tu. Ini memang nasihat untuk diri sendiri jugak. Muhasabah diri untuk self-improvement!

Ok la dah nak siap-siap pergi submit assignment!

Semoga hari ini kita lebih baik dari semalam! Take care semua di luar sana!!!

Last but not least... In order to change the current situation of the world we must start with ourselves first. The choice is in our hand.

Till we meet again Incik Bloggie!

Walk the talk

Assalamualaikum...

Hai Incik Bloggie!

“You can say you love someone – but unless you demonstrate that love through your actions, your words become meaningless.” ~ Stephen M. R. Covey

Ini hanyalah sebahagian kisah dalam kehidupan.

Akan ada saat-saat apabila kita berada di persimpangan untuk memilih antara cintakan akhirat atau cintakan dunia. Aku percaya, sebagai muslim kebanyakan antara kita pernah merasa perkara ini dalam kehidupan.

Walaupun memilih antara kedua-dua perkara tersebut adalah amat susah. Boleh aku katakan, tergerak dalam hati, I'm going to choose akhirat! Of course! tempat kekal abadi.

Ia adalah amat sukar untuk membuat pilihan namun lebih sukar lagi untuk membuktikannya kerana sekadar mengatakan adalah tidak sama dengan melakukannya. Jika hanya sekadar berkata tanpa membuktikan, kata-kata itu tiada sebarang makna.

Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): "Jika benar kamu mengasihi Allah maka ikutilah daku, nescaya Allah mengasihi kamu serta mengampunkan dosa-dosa kamu. Dan (ingatlah), Allah Maha Pengampun, lagi Maha Mengasihani. (Surah Ali Imran:31)

Jika benar-benar kita mencintai Allah, maka buktikannya. Buktikan dengan tindakan, bukan sekadar kata-kata. Ia adalah satu perkara yang sukar untuk dilakukan, terutama apabila kita mungkin perlu mengorbankan dunia.

I'm afraid too...Aku tulis pasal 'walk the talk' tapi sebaliknya aku hanyalah sekadar 'talk the talk'.  But my real intention, bila aku menulis sesuatu itu adalah peringatan untuk diri sendiri.

May Allah give us strength to choose to do what's right when the going gets tough. Ameen.

Sekian, selamat malam dunia penuh pancaroba.

Wassalam...

Being idle

Assalamualaikum...

Hai Incik Bloggie... Do you miss me? *a cliche question which I have already known the answer mihmihmih... *

It's been awhile I haven't posted anything here. Tengok entry terakhir update pun acah-acah hangat tahi ayam je tulis nye. Mostly just copy paste cerita-cerita yang rasa menarik untuk dikongsi.

The feeling of not involving myself in the blogging arena kept coming back and now then.

Firstly, because I think it's better to keep silent rather than writing something so called as 'nonsense'.

Secondly, better to keep things private. That's the main reason why I private my blog, deleted instagram & twitter except FB *sebab nanti orang nak invite pi kenduri kahwin hehe...*. Meninggalkan dunia media sosial yg mana kalau org tak ada account tu boleh dianggap 'pelik'. Mungkin dilakukan di bawah minda separuh sedar but I made it! *halfway la tapi..since still aktif di FB.* Smile ;)

Thirdly, I think... I have to focus on study...tak dak masa meh *ini alasan... *.

But to be honest, during the period of not blogging, rasa macam... Oh tak boleh lagi. A lot of things dalam otak ni have to put in writing or else semua akan hilang seperti dedebu yang ditiup angin. One of the mediums I have to express it, is by writing it here. I mean for an idea which need long elaboration or discussion. Or else, I'll post it on FB or type dekat apps note. Seriously, idea yang tak ditulis or record or yg sewaktu dengannya memang boleh hilang seperti dedebu yang ditiup angin. For me la...

The adrenaline to write suddenly urged me to get my fingers on the keyboard fast. That's how I end up with this entry.

What I've learnt during the 'idle time'...tak salah if nak menulis sesuatu yang 'bermanfaat'. That's the key point! Write if you think it'll be benefited to yourself and others, if not it's better to keep silent! Shhhhhssss...

Dari Abu Hurairah R.A, sesungguhnya Rasulullah S.A.W telah bersabda, "Barangsiapa yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat, maka hendaklah ia berkata baik atau diam, barang siapa yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat, maka hendaklah ia memuliakan tetangga dan barang siapa yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat, maka hendaklah ia memuliakan tetamunya." - Sahih Bukhari 

I have an idea what to write in my next post! Hope I'll have time to write it... ngee~~~ Dan bukan sekadar omong kosong. Tengoklah sekiranya masa tidak mencemburui diriku.

Till we meet again Incik Bloggie...
