Guide to a Better Life

Kadang kadang hidup rasa sukar tapi kena teruskan. bukan hidup awak ja, hidup saya pun cubaan tak henti berkunjung. So, in a way nak memotivasikan diri balik, kena ambil iktibar dari kisah orang lain. Selamat membaca ya


This is amazing, Randy Pausch 47 yrs old, a computer Sc. lecturer from Mellon University died of pancreatic cancer in 2008, but wrote a book ‘The last lecture” before then, one of the bestsellers in 2007. What a legacy to leave behind…

In a letter to his wife Jai and his children, Dylan, Logan, and Chloe, he wrote this beautiful "guide to a better life" for his wife and children to follow.
May you be blessed by his insight.



POINTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

Personality:
1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
3. Don't over do; keep your limits
4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does
5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
6. Dream more while you are awake
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.
Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more
14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Community:
15. Call your family often
16. Each day give something good to others
17. Forgive everyone for everything
18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
19. Try to make at least three people smile each day
20. What other people think of you is none of your business
21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:
22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do.
23. GOD heals everything
24. Do the right things
25. However good or bad a situation is, it will change
26. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
27. The best is yet to come
28. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful
29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it
30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy.

While you practice all of the above, share this knowledge with the people you love, people you school with,
people you play with, people you work with and people you live with.
Not only will it enrich YOUR life, but also that of those around you.

Remember,

GOOD THINGS ARE FOR US TO SHARE.....!!!!!!

Lelaki kacak peneman si mati

Rasulullah SAW bersabda: 'Bila seseorang lelaki itu mati dan saudaranya sibuk dengan pengebumiannya, berdiri lelaki yang betul-betul kacak di bahagian kepalanya. Bila mayatnya dikapan, lelaki itu berada di antara kain kapan dan si mati.
Selepas pengebumian, semua orang pulang ke rumah, 2 malaikat Mungkar dan Nakir, datang dalam kubur dan cuba memisahkan lelaki kacak ini supaya mereka boleh menyoal lelaki yang telah meninggal itu seorang diri mengenai ketaatannya kepada Allah.
Tapi lelaki kacak itu berkata,Dia adalah temanku, dia adalah kawanku. Aku takkan meninggalkannya seorang diri walau apa pun. Jika kamu ditetapkan untuk menyoal, lakukanlah tugasmu. Aku tidak boleh meninggalkannya sehingga aku dapati dia dimasukkan ke dalam Syurga.'
Selepas itu dia berpaling pada temannya yang meninggal dan berkata,'Aku adalah Al-Quran, yang mana kamu membacanya, kadang-kadang dengan suara yang nyaring dan kadang-kadang dengan suara yang perlahan. Jangan bimbang. Selepas soal siasat dari Mungkar dan Nakir, kamu tidak akan bersedih.'Selepas soal siasat selesai, lelaki kacak mengatur untuknya daripada Al-Mala'ul A'laa (malaikat dalam Syurga) tempat tidur dari sutera yang dipenuhi bauan kesturi
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) bersabda :'Di hari pengadilan, di hadapan Allah, tiada syafaat yang lebih baik darjatnya daripada Quran, mahupun dari nabi atau malaikat.'

Change as a MATTER of WANT

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious and Most Merciful. Good Morning!

I remembered asking myself once or twice when i was few years younger, what would happen if i were to bump people who had made my life miserable and i hated the most now (back at that time) in 3-10 years time? Hurm...it's a tough question though because i'm a hard-headed girl. Would i still have anger and hatred for that person in my heart? and yeah, do i view the person the same way i did today? or maybe would i assume that the person has changed somewhat and thus deserves to be treated kindly just like any other person whom i love as friends?

in regard to this matter, yes, i do have some people in my mind.

Ive only discovered the answer to those questions(hope this is the one!) when it really happened last year. And i realise that the hatred had slowly gone, the assumption that the person is 'bad' is still there but it has disappeared as soon as i talked to the person. I should say, the talking heals the pain and that i have forgiven the person from the beginning. Therefore, i ended up treating that person like an old friend whom i've not met for a life long time.



I think, i was able to feel and react that way only because i'd successfully put myself in that person's shoes.
"sometimes u make silly mistakes in your life when you're younger and hope that the other person you hurt or embarrassed would've forgiven you"

Same goes with me, i hope i made silly mistakes and i know they did hurt people and secretly i hope that the person will forgive me and we can be friends again. I've also learnt that change is possible to anyone, it is not a matter of whether the person CAN change for the better or not but it is a more of about whether YOU WANT to change or not. In this case, i choose to CHANGE.

I remember a quote from a book i've read, it's a nice quote though,
"treat everyone equally and forgive people, not because they are nice but YOU ARE"

Being Muslims, we are always thought to assume positives in others and to not to be easily judgmental. Judging is God's authority, not me, not others. Our Prophet never jumped into conclusion when it comes to judging others and he is the best example for us all to follow. EnsyaAllah (:

So as a reminder about judgment, mind to worry about ourselves being judged in front of the AlMighty on Judgement Day.

Thus, love more & judge less,
