...i can

...found a book which i bought few years ago when tiding up my room yesterday...the magic of thinking big...it is a very interesting book which discusses about 'excusities diseases'...it is about us people who always have good excuses for not doing what they should be doing...having read the book i believe this quote is true: "I CAN is 100 times more important than IQ"...observation, self-belief, persistent and hard work plus honesty matter more than one's intelligence...that's what my little experience taught me...

...self reminder III

...i always have this little but significant problem...to control my hot temper...it's always the hardest few seconds to deal with...Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R) relates that the Holy Prophet (P) said: "The strong one is not he who knocks out his adversary; the strong one is he who keeps control over his temper." (Bukhari and Muslim)...may Allah gives us more patience so we can observe and learn more insyaAllah...

...self reminder II

...in life there are rules, regulations or at least norms for us to respect and follow...that often create a conflict between the regulator who regulates the rules and the follower who has to obey the rules...the conflict between to be right or to be kind...i always believe there is no hard and fast rule in making the best decision...it always depends...here is another hadith for us to ponder...Hazrat Anas Bin Malik (R) relates that the Holy Prophet (P) said: "Make things easy and convenient and don't make them harsh and difficult. Give cheers and glad tidings and do not create hatred." (Muslim)...the hadith hopefully can guide us in making tough decisions...

...self reminder I

"Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well and that if they do wrong you will do wrong; but accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong if they do evil." [Tirmidhi 5129]...a good reminder for us all insyaAllah...

...life is interesting

here comes september...and syawal...the holy month of ramadhan will come again in about a year time...it is a month of reflection...the month where one test one's patience and regain one's belief and strength...life is interesting and full  of challenges...one needs to pull back the strength after feeling down...regain the passion after losing it...getting back the belief after a hopeless event...and it is normal to fall down after a success (for one to take it as a reminder)...and to regain the success after a big fall...and life goes on...
