Tuesdays With Morrie By Mitch Albom

SALAM

Warning,this post is very long. Your brain might be bombed or you will eat dunk for a whole day. Reading description is adviced. WAHAHAHA

"We've got a form of brainwashing going on in our country. Do you know how they brainwash people? They repeat something over and over. And that's what we do in this country. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. More is good. More is good. We repeat it-and have it repeated to us-over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is so fogged up by all this, he has no perspective on what's really important anymore.

"Wherever I went in my life, I met people wanting to gobble up something new. Gobble up a new car. Gobble up a new piece of property. Gobble up the latest toy. And then they wanted to tell you about it. 'Guess what I got? Guess what I got?'

"You know how I always interpreted this? These were people were so hungry for love that they were accepting substitutes. They were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. But it never works. You can't substitutes material things for love or gentleness or for tenderness or for sense of comradeship

"Money is not substitute for tenderness, and power is not substitute for tenderness. I can tell you, as I'm sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter of how much of them you have."

"There's a big confusion in this country over what we want versus what we need. You need food. You want chocolate sundae. You have to be honest with yourself. You don't need the latest sports car, you don't need the biggest house.

"The truth is you don't get satisfaction form the things. You know what really gives you satisfaction?"

What?

"Offering others what you have to give"

You sound like a Boy Scout

"I don't mean money, Mitch. I mean you time. Your concern. Your storytelling. It's not so hard. There's senior centre that opened near here. Dozens of elderly people come there every day. If you are a young man or young woman and you have a skill, you are asked to come and teach it. Say you know computers. You come there and teach them computers. You are welcomed there. And they are very grateful. This is how you start to get respect, by offering something that you have.

"There are plenty paces to do this. You don't need to have a big talent. There are lonely people in hospitals and shelters who only want some companionship. You play cards with lonely older man and you find new respect for yourself, because you are needed.

"Mitch, if you are trying to show off people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow. And if you are trying to show off people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you float equally between everyone.

"Why do you think it's so important for me to hear other people's problems? Don't I have enough pain and suffering of my own?

"Of course I do. But giving to other people is what makes me alive. Not my car or my house. Not what I look in the mirror. When I give my time, when I can make someone smile after they were feeling sad, it's as close as to healthy as I ever feel.

"Do the kind of things that come form the heart. When you do, you won't be dissatisfied, you won't be envious, you won't be longing for somebody else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overwhelmed with what comes back."

-Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom page 124-128

Do you feel anything?Well, only a wise man that had been gifted brain by Allah can say like that. I'm 100% sure many of the sayings(wahaha...crap) are what our Muslim Studies(betul ke Muslim Studies?bhahaha) teacher had taught us. But maybe your teacher haven't teach or tell you about this,my mistake...It shows that Allah is powerful...think bagi kita benda cenonet kecik ni pon Allah ada sebut.

YET MANY DENY

I know someone who is just not like Morrie talked about...

ME

So in the way to fight to having things that I shouldn't have, I will tough my faith.

Dengar yer...LAWAN NAFSU JUGA JIHAD

:D

Tahun 2010 Di Sekolah Yang Bergelora

Salam

Wahaha...title post ni bajet je...weeeeeee

Ok.Alhamdulillah...

So I've gone through sad,happy or watava moments with my friends for a year. And a year for me is veryyy long(but sometime I feel the duration of a year is just one blink of an eye.wahaha)

I still remember when the first time in my whole life when I participated Public Speaking. And I was very nervous(everyone did.haha). But my mom encourage me to enter competition like that.

At first, I never liked my school. -The surroundings-The students-Some of the teachers-. Everything is different from my last school(of course)
Many of them are snobbish and stupid. Belagak pandai something like that stuff.
Chat with their friends as if the whole world wants to hear them or as if their friends are underwear that can't hear or speak.
So I've tried every mean of way that I know to change school. TO A BETTER SCHOOL. So after thinking I said to myself 'Im not qualified to be at better place,and I think this is the best place for me'T.T-ayat sedih je...bahaha

And that's it. After about 7,8 months I started to learn to love what Allah had gave me. He gave me the best. And I started to appreciate and accept what that I've got. Everything that happen to me are what that I did before (what am I talking?crapping. -.-'). I mean*how am I gonna explain it?*, what that I've done before or I did and that's the result and He gave the fair thing.Ahhhh...whatever. Im not good at explaining.

And that's it. I love my school but I hate the people that hardened my life. sebok je.

All I know is next year will be harder than this year.And that's life.

LOVE

BOBOBOBOBOBOBOBO

Salam...

haha...gila kan bagi title post ni macam tu?bhahahahahaha...x de idea...kering-kontang,ikan nak berenang pon mati,lame dah mati -.-'

so yesterday,my friends and i hang out at McD...we didn't buy anything *really* at McD. Hanya mahu bertemankan pernghawa dingin XD. wahahaha...not actually hang out...our plan was to make a script for our oral test

After a while we made our script,we stopped and i dont know whyy,then we started gossipingy (bhahhahaha) bout our school mates...*PLEASE BE NOTED, WED NEVER TALKED SOMETHING THAT HUMILIATE THEM OR ANYTHING,we talked bout...oh,im very embarrassed to tell you neway.haha*

and...after a few minutes,suddenly, the person we talked about was walking in McD using the front door with her boyfriend,and we were like uuuhhhhh-ahhhhhh-yeahhhh. My friends said that her BF was cutee,butt i dont have any idea bout her BF,im not really interested to guys actually.

Then she smiled at us,decided to sit at the corner of the McD away from our glances,lenses and oh whatever...there is no use of hiding,wed got to snap her pics really and some videos bout two videos and one picture.*hahaha,we are DISASTERS really*

yeah,after satisfied with what we got,we continued to finish our script,after tired making our script*tired la sangatt*,Faz invited me to her house,i hesitated for a while and say 'yeah,ok'. I called my sister since my mom's handphone kenaaa curiii. But my mom wasnt with my sister,cause my sister went to saloon.and my mom was at her school,uruskan pebende tah.TT.TT . butt i decided to go to my friend's house.hahahaa.

McD is nearer than my mom's school,so my mom fetch me first *at that time,i was at my friend's house,ouh,i feel guilty-.-'.When i never came out of McD so she went into McD,and of course my schoolmates was very scared *they were free-hairing*,soo lari bertempiaran la.

Guys, you know actually my mom didnt recognise you anyway,but if you run of course you would distract my mom although you didnt intend to.so when you were running to hide form my mom, my mom know that u were RPS student without thinking. SHE DIDNT RECOGNISE YOU. hahahahhahaha.dead meat yer korang XD.

Pengajaran yang boleh diambil dari sini:
1. Jangan gelabah,sentapp
2. Jangan free hair suka-suki
3. Jangan dating
4. Jangan lari dari cikgu if nampak cikgu,kalau lari lagi cikgu perasan
5. Seboleh-bolehnya salam tanda hormat dan tidak menyombongkan diri

wahahaha.

And when we arrived at Faz's house,we continued our work that should be done when we were at McD. And pray,eat,do work,chat.blablabla.

The script wasssss shockingly...pendek..bahahaha...our script is about a few students were at LRT station,talking bout haze,but when our idea kering-kontang, we decided to add 'LRT has arrived,lets go...'.hahahahahaha

After a while,we went to Sungai Pinji which is behind Faz's house. Her my mom said not to go toooo far,but my friends and i were toooooooooo excited to discover apa-benda-entahh...while we were walking,I saw a maggot and i was running like heaven.hahaha...

Moral value:
1. Listen to the olders

And thats it,maybe it sounds boring to you,but i had a veryyy fun day...

LOVE
