"…..Always remember that success is a ladder, not an escalator……"

Practice what you have learned,….

            for theory without practice is like a spirit without a body.

One who is content with learning alone is not learned,….

           for the truly learned seeks more than mere words.

Divine guidance entails self-mortification,…

           without which contemplation is unattainable.

From "The Bounty of Allah," translated by Aneela Khalid Arshed.

                                   New York, 1999.

Everything tells me that i am about to make a wrong direction…wrong decicion……

but,…

making mistakes is just a part of life…..

What does the world want of me????

does it want me to take no risk….??…

……to go back where i came from…???

…..because I didn’t have the courage to say YES…to life??????

…Practise non judgement…..

…Don’t compare….

…Think of it this way,….

            " is chocolate better than vanilla??..

              or blue better than red..???…"

             No,..they’re just different….

It takes all colours to make a rainbow….

We may have tastes and preferences……

but,…

we couldn’t have the rainbow without all the colour together….:))

To terminate your loneliness,….

            Reach out to the homeless…

To feed your nurturing instincts,…..

            Care for the needy…

Don’t bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons…..

To keep yourself warm,….

            Buy a jacket..

            In the long run, it will be less complicated n lest costly

To make yourself happy,…

Pursue your passions n be the best of what you can be…

Simplify your life..

Take away the clutter..

Get rid of destructive elements,…abusive friends,….nasty habits n dangerous liaisons….

Don’t abandon your responsibilities….but don’t overdose on duty….

Don’t live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family…

Be true to yourself..

Don’t commit when you’re not ready..

Don’t keep others waiting needlessly ….

Fall in love….

            It’s the greatest thing on earth……

Go on trip,….

            Don’t postpone it…..

Say those words…

Don’t let the moment pass..

Do what you must even at society’s scorn…

Love deeply….

Walk barefoot..

Hold hands….

Dance with wild abandon…

Cry at the movies…

Take care of yourself…

Don’t wait for someone to take care of you..

You…light of your life…

You drive yourself to your destination….

It is true that life doesn’t get easier with age….

It only gets more challenging…

Don’t be afraid…

Don’t lose your capacity to love…

Pursue your passions…

Live your dreams….

Don’t lose faith in GOD…

Don’t grow old,…..

Just grow up…..

An article from Sun – Star daily newspaper

June 2^nd, 1999

Ijinkan aku berdoa, bukan agar terhindar dari cobaan-Mu…….
melainkan agar aku tiada takut menghadapinya.

Ijinkan aku memohon, bukan agar penderitaanku hilang
melainkan agar hatiku teguh menghadapinya.

Ijinkan aku kejalan yang lurus……ijinkan aku.

Ijinkan aku tidak memohon keselamatan dengan ketakutan…….
dan kegelisahan, melainkan memiliki harapan dan bersabar untuk memenangkan pertempuran ku.

Ijinkan aku untuk tidak menjadi pengecut dengan merasakan kemurahan-Mu ketika dalam keberhasilan, Tapi biarkan aku menemukan gengaman tangan-Mu dalam kegagalanku…..

Ijinkan aku serahkan segalanya kepada-Mu….ijinkan aku”

…Leo, sept 09th, ‘06…

Real faith is having complete trust in God.

"It is the belief in the wisdom which comes from the Unseen."

Such certainty can only be attained through the knowledge that emerges with divine help.

When temptation claims your reason,
know that misfortune is about to strike.

Fall down prostrate and begin to pray.
With flowing tears implore the Lord
that Lord may deliver you
from the throes of doubt.
