Hari ini

Hari ini 31 Disember 2011.

Hari terakhir di tahun ini.

Setahun yang penuh cabar dan duga telah kuharungi. Meski banyak airmata yang tumpah, meski jiwa merintih dalam diam, meski hati sering goyah dengan derita tak terucap, aku masih lagi berdiri di sini. Dengan rahmatMu Ya Illahi, aku yang kerdil masih lagi meneruskan langkah. Aku tak akan berpaling lagi. Aku akan mendepani segenap ujianMu kerana aku percaya Engkau tidak akan membiarkan doaku dibawa angin lalu.Berikan aku ketabahan untuk setahun lagi kerana aku perlu hidup untuk diriku. Berikan aku kebahagiaan yang kupinta.Berikan aku kesejahteraan yang kucari.Hamparkan bagiku rezeki seluas lautan tak bertepi, seluas langit membiru.Mudahkan segenap urusanku denganMu dan dengan manusia lain.

Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Mengetahui,maka aku serahkan segalanya kepadaMU.

WISH

This is my wish for me:

COMFORT on difficult days

                                   SMILES when sadness intrudes

RAINBOWS to follow the clouds

                                   LAUGHTER to kiss my lips

SUNSETS to warm my heart

                                   HUGS when spirit sag

FRIENDSHIPS to brighten my being

                                   BEAUTY for my eyes to see

FAITH so that I can believe

                                   CONFIDENCE for when I doubt

PATIENCE to accept the truth

                                  COURAGE to know myself

LOVE TO COMPLETE MY LIFE.

Ayu

‎...dedicated to my beloved mother,
for always believing,
and whom without your trust,
I'd not be here...

It's a wrap for my AE, thank you Mak. For everything.

My daughter wrote this and God knows how I cried reading it.

Hari Ini

Hari ini

setahun genap

aku berpaling dari daerah

yang kudiami suku abad

Daerah dusta penuh pura-pura

Tangisku dalam hati

Sengsaraku dalam diam

Akhirnya bernoktah juga

Hari ini

Aku menjadi diriku

Seperti yang aku mahu

Semahunya aku.

PERLU

ingin kukatakan pada dunia

aku tak sekuat yang dilihat

aku tak setabah yang disangka

aku tak seberani yang dizahir

tapi

aku tak punya pilihan

aku perlu kuat

aku perlu tabah

aku perlu berani

DEMI DIRIKU.

Touching

When I marked the exam papers 2 stories written by the candidates really touched my heart.

Never mind what the stories are about. What matters is the sentences in the stories.

1. I am not cleaver (she means clever)but I love my mother so much.

2. "You never know what that night meant to me.I love you."( A note written by a mother to thank her son who took her to dinner for the first and the last time because she died a few days later due to heart attack.

These sentences remind me of my mother.At the age of almost 50, I still want to have my mother around but that is not possible because she left me forever 10 years ago.

May Allah bless my mother always.I am who I am today because of her.

Socrates and the Test of Three

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three."
"Test of Three?"
"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to test what you're going to say.

"The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not.

“Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"
"No, on the contrary... "
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain it's true?"The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued. "You may still pass though, because there is a third test - the filter of Usefulness.

“Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?”
The man was defeated and ashamed.

This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

(Socrates was not a Muslim, but what he had practiced made him much better than most Muslims nowadays. A great many people find it so exhilarating bad mouthing others, gossiping on matters that have nothing to do with them, acting holier-than-thou. So before you say anything about anyone, please take this test of three.This is a reminder to myself too. May Allah bless everyone of us.
