THE THREE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT

There were three blind men and one old man. The three men were always arguing about their differences in matters of beliefs.
 
One day the old man asked them to go and discover what’s inside a cave. After 30 minutes they came back and started describing what they found:
 
1. The first one said he found a broom.
2. The second one, a water pipe.
3. And the third, a leather mat.

Mother

Mother…!! 
Oh mother,
I have not realized who you are,
I wish I could know you before,

I wish I could be beside you forever,

But now it’s too late,

I am far from you,

Please forgive me for all the mistakes I made

  

Mother,
when I see a pregnant woman,
I see myself inside you,
you were Carrying me,
and the only thing I was doing is causing you A lot of trouble,
 
 
But you mother,
still holding your breath,
praying and caring about me more than yourself,
you were eating healthy food not for yourself but for me.
How could you be able to handle me, I still cannot believe it

Three days

 Life consists of three days: yesterday, today and tomorrow

All of them are the same, the only thing that keeps changing is the time.



So what do I mean by three days?


First day: yesterday

You cannot change anything that happened yesterday

You cannot drag back whatever happened yesterday

You cannot erase whatever happened yesterday

You cannot repeat the happiness that you felt yesterday

So, let it go and forget about it.



Second day: tomorrow

Till the sun rise tomorrow

You do not know what will happen

You cannot do anything tomorrow

You will not be able to know whether you will be happy or sad tomorrow

Tomorrow has not come yet, so let it go.



The last one: Today

The entrance for yesterday has closed

The entrance for tomorrow still not opened yet

Focus only for today

You have the ability to do everything today

Forgive what happened yesterday

And release the fear for tomorrow
 
Live your life because yesterday and tomorrow are just mysterious games that will give you a headache!


live with whatever you have, because the only thing you have is today

Remember: respect others because of who you are, not because of who they are.

Therefore, do not let yesterday give you regrets or tomorrow leaving
 
Do the best you can TODAY AND DO IT NOW.

I FELL BUT I STOOD UP AGAIN

This is all about giving a try… there will be no loss if we try, no one will beat me, trying is the key to success...!

For example, when a kid rides a bicycle for the first time, he will fall and fail until he manages to master it. And this balance is achieved after trying several times.

I am sure most of us know at least one person who has become successful in their lives, whether in terms of wealth, happiness, power, etc

Ambitions

(I am sure people have their own destiny, ambitions and goals whether it’s achievable or not, otherwise they are living aimless life.)

This statement is 100% true no one can deny it, So surely every successful people experienced this feeling of satisfactions for achieving their dreams as illustrated in the figure above.

When I was in Indonesia there was a child asked me saying can I still be successful without a formal education?

Unfortunately, most people think ambitions could be only achieved if you are rich, well-educated, experience or having a mentor. But actually if you look at those successful men’s history or background, most of them were not rich; most of them came from rural area with no experience.

Do and search you will find list of names, I did some and I found this:

Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary: is the richest Bumiputra corporate figure in Malaysia. With involvement in diversified business areas which include transportation and logistics, plantations, property development, defense and armory as well as engineering and power generation, he has a net worth estimated to be US$2.00 billion according to Forbes^[1], making him the 7th richest Malaysian.

Syed Mokhtar al-Bukhary was born into a mid-low class family of Hadhrami Arab: whose house was without necessities and luxuries. His highest education was only until form five, and he never went to university. A whole lot of his knowledge and experience was gained through his own entrepreneurship experience during his youth time.

Halle Berry is an Oscar-winning actress who never went to college. Instead, she moved to Chicago immediately after high school to become a model and actress.

Bill Gates: Do i need to mention about the founder of Microsoft? I mean, thanks to him, we are using our computers so smoothly. Bill Gates, as most of us know was a Harvard drop out and it was from that, he came up with this operating system for computers, which now seems inevitable and irreplaceable.

Henry Ford: The pioneer of the assembly line car manufacturing, Henry Ford never completed his high school education. Instead, he started Ford Motor Company, one of the largest automobile companies in the world. A perfect and simply amazing example of one of the most successful people without college education

And many more.

I have discussed about this before, for some people they said it was luck and some said they are genius , but myself, I may consider that but its not 100% true, do you want to know why?

Okey try to consider yourself as one of them during their time when they were pure(not now because I am sure you would think to go to French, U.K., buying cars and etc) now try to think and discuss this among your friends, would they say the same thing, luck, genius????? Okey enough considering yourself as them.

I believe each of us can be like them, it is just about our desire.

Emm….. I wanted to write more but I dunt want lah (lazy; I dun like to write :P i would rather to explain it using Vlog which is stands for "video blog" i had tried b4 and i will do it insha allah once i get suitable camera if i have one :P ), as long as this note could send my message to you, that would be enough ;) 

A peaceful mind (1): Smile :)

I believe Smile brings happiness to both sides; inside in your heart and outside in your family’s and friends’ heart. Forget about WHEN and WHERE to smile, surely most people know when to smile, we just need to focus on HOW and WHY? Here I will state how I define smile and mention the reasons behind it, and how do I create a peaceful mind all the time.

For those who knows me, i am sure most of the time you would find me smiling everyday, wherever i am, here you may understand the reason behind this.

Look at this picture…!!!

I am sure you suddenly smiled without having intention to smile.

Now answer these questions:

Do you know him?

So why did you smile?

Did you felt happy even a little?

Okey how about this, now you try to remember anything that makes you angry, once your done, look at this picture…!!

Hehehhehe, I am sure u you will calm down, and smile back

So what do you think if you smile to others? I am sure they will smile (as I said forget when and where)

At this moment, I am sure you knew why I smile all the time.

How about if I am alone and do not have any picture like the one I posted above. Simple, try to remember your good days or listen to anything that makes you happy, (for those who knows me, you will always sees me listening to music) trust me I get energized once I listen to music, I might even dance while walking.

This one of the ways that made having a calm or a peaceful mind, I will post some more later.

So enjoy and try to keep smile all the time, specially meeting family and friends  :)

 

KISS

what do you think about KISS???
what would you think if someone said let's join "KISS COMMUNITY"?

i am sure most of us would think like this:

i believe most people would be thinking the same thing, but however, i did not mean this. Before i explain further, let me share short story with you all.







In school, a lecturer asked his student, his name is yoesof, saying " yoesof, i always see you smiling, laughing and chilling all the time, whether you are under pressure or not, always the same, what do you do or what do you like?", yoesof replied " I KISS", lecturer said " excuse me? be serious, please show some respect, so again what do you do?" yoesof said " sir. I like to KISS". then the lecturer get mad, then yoesof smiled and said " sir, i believe you got me wrong, for me KISS is Keep It Simple and Short, so i KISS, and i like to KISS all the time"

THE END.

With this example,you may understand that we cannot judge people and define what others says, until they illustrate their own statements, even tho its obvious.

This could always happen when we are with our family, friends and strangers, thus i hope you guys try to think positive to make your own life bright also try to KISS :P

who has the right to decide my decisions?

Before we discuss about making decisions, in my point of view making decisions is about choosing what is right for myself, and i am the one will go through it, having my responsibilities towards my decisions.

But sadly, most people like to ask his/her friend for recommendations, whether its suits us or not, we tend to take that decision just to satisfy and not to break out their friendship.

Its true that asking friends and family is about sharing ideas and opinions not about asking them to decide for me, making decisions comes after that.I could agree with that, but what i can see, it does not seems like that.

Example; shopping, hehehe..!! two girls in the mall, lina and sarah, they went to shioping, lina found a nice dress, that dress has two different color, blue and red, lina like both but more to blue , lina asked sarah for her recommendations, sarah recommended for red saying "red looks nice to you" but lina said "but what do you think about blue, i think blue is nice too, sarah said "nah, trust me, red is much more better", lina "B...B...But blue is good", sarah said "Okey,just tell me you wanted to get blue, if you want to take blue just take it, fine. i wont talk to you", then lina took red just to let her friend happy.



So now, what do you think guys, who took the decision??


"If you still not sure, ask your friend to help you out to find the answer :) "

What we supposed to do, focusing on one skill or more?

Skills are needed these days such as web designer, graphic designer, engineer, doctors and etc. but here i am confused if i am interested in more than one skill, i like to design 3D models using 3D max and Alibre design, media using adobe AE, editing pictures using Photoshop and illustrator,and now since i see lot of web designers making money, i am trying to learn "Dreamweaver" as a beginner, yet i am mechatronics engineering and event planner "assistant"....!!! Damn its great, but i do not feel i am mastering one of them.


So here i was thinking what to do? should i continue or focus on one field?

Does Examination Evaluates Your Intelligence?

three weeks ago, i went to one of the AIESEC episodes to discuss about issues, one of the topics was does examination evaluates your intelligence?

it was very interesting, but we had limited time to discuss about it.I will elaborate and mention things of what we have discussed and i will add some additional information from me.

i said, well it depends on what type of examination; school exams, daily life exams/test, then we could agree whether it evaluates our intelligent or not.

let's talk about our daily life examination/quiz test first, since its simple, i will mention two examples, first our capabilities in leadership and whatsoever and business.

Our parents, relatives, officers, lecturers and those who lived longer than us, sometimes they ask us few questions/ notice few things from us, and from our feedback/reactions they evaluate and could discover how good we are on something, if we are wise enough they would recommend us as a director, if we are strong and friendly they would recommend us as a leader, etc.

Senior businessmen who has experience in marketing for many years, when we try to market our product or costumers they could notice their interest and use key words to market their products. that comes from their daily life experience, the first time when they market their products, when they fail means they failed. thus, its evaluates you intelligent in business whether you are good or not.

but school examinations, wooow its a huge topic. sometimes it works but mostly not, it does not mean you are smart if you get high grades, for my opinion its just evaluate whether you are hard working or not.

even though, people said, if it is not important, surely those in 1960s has discussed about this and abolished this examinations. but so far, nothing has changed so it does evaluate our intelligence. In fact, look at famous and successful universities, they have tests to evaluates you whether you are qualified or not.

well my answer was simple, if it is true, so ainshtain, Shakespeare, Dave Thomas, Jim Carrey and many more are not intelligent and not successful. they were just lucky.
