a man and a starfish

In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
today got a misscall from dad. I didn't realised he texted me. he asked how was my practical exams. alhamdulillah it all went well, Allah is the Greatest. :) I dont know why I didn't tell him right away. was so spaced out due to lack of sleep I guess. hoho~

anyways he then asked if I checked my email recently. I thought he sent some important documents that I need to check right away so in the middle of dinner I checked my email.

and I saw the title "story of a man and a starfish". I was like uhhhh? so I went on and read it.

hope it's beneficial for anyone who's reading this. :)

While walking along a beach, an elderly gentleman saw someone in the distance leaning down, picking something up and throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, picking up starfish one by one and tossing each one gently back into the water.

He came closer still and called out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”
The young man paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean.”
The old man smiled, and said, “I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”
To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”

Upon hearing this, the elderly observer commented, “But, young man, do you not realise that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!”

The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked up another starfish, threw it into the back into the ocean past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”
There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can become aware of that gift, we gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future. We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our stars wisely and well, the world will be blessed.

The moral of the story :
Believing your cause is important. It helps you hold on when you feel alone and people around you starts disbelieving and abandoning you.  Following a cause is a choice. Once you made that choice it becomes your responsibility & obligation. Failure is not an option.  You got to do what ever it takes to keep it up or keep it going until you reached your goal. Insya Allah. Allah will always be with you. So do I.

i love my dad :')

alhamdullilah for blessing me with this man in my life.

so called freedom.

apa maksud freedom sebenarnya?

freedom is not doing things what you want -- how do you even know you want what you want?

freedom is getting yourself free from ego. and to be disciplined.

whenever I release my inner thoughts it never come out right.
I should learn when I should talk and when I shouldn't.
let's just pick to be quiet -- so that I'll commit less foul in talking.

to please human is so challenging. so just stick to the plan of pleasing your Lord.

why can't we learn?
life is about give and take.
and to have a clean heart, salamatussadr and try to husnu zhon (cos I know it's hard)

tolerate. that's all I crave for.

setelah struggle dengan nafs dan emotion pada minggu ini,
satu-satunya conclusion aku dapat adalah;

rebelling doesnt benefits oneself, plus it make us loss. (as in rugi)

aku struggle antara apa aku nak buat dengan apa yang Allah nak aku buat.
