Lesson 101: Ducks Gonna Quacks

Been so shockingly long to not put some writings here. It's been missed, somehow and so here i am, write something again. So, what's new is we were just celebrating Eid-il Fitr, so EID MUBARAK to moslem brothers and sisters around the whole world. May we reunite again with Ramadhan in every upcoming years.. Aamiin..

For the past months, i really push myself to utilize my time only for Allah, as it was Ramadhan and i wanted to use my time properly. Hence, i fix my relationship with Allah, fix my Habluminallah. I was so focus on this one yet forget about another, which is Habluminanaas. I think I have been became someone else, recently. Being so reckless, so rude, so mean to other people. People become so annoying in my eyes all of sudden. They just did something that was very disturbing for me. Like whatever they do, they wrong. Just because i did that, they did the same things to me too. Like they talk behind me about my bad, they were very nosy, and they hate me evenmore. I hate when i became like that and hate when i was treated by people like that. Seriously. So i prayed a lot to Allah to give me to bring me back to the right direction. And i have found the reasons. It is not them who wrong. It was me. I tried hard to please myself so did to everyone else, yet it was not satisfying. I did a lot of things that supposed to be right, supposed to make me and everyone else happy. But the fact that it happened the opposite, it saddened me.

I recite Quran, I read the translate of the Quran, I read a lot of quotes, I read a lot of articles on how to maintain my behavior to be exactly like a lady. I even look for some writings in wikiHow! And indeed, Allah will guide you when you are lost. To be exactly to not get annoyed by what people do, i have to be involve on what they do. To feel what they feel. And to have a good simplicity in life, i have to ease other people's hardships. The hardships are not kidding, yet the surprises are just as not kidding as the hardships, as well. However, for the not kidding things around, the period of life slaps us hard wake us up, tell us that the hardships and the surprises, which are not kidding, just nothing. It is just temporary. So does the feeling. And most of all, silence is a gold is truly right. Like the main point to not feeling those bad thing, is just ignore it. Ignore unnecessary things. Let they do what they do. Let they get what they want. People, everyone, you, and i, we deserve the happiness. So just let only the happiness knock on your life. Ah, and also love.

Some conditions made me grow up, i think, not fully but i changed for some good reasons, in a very tiny little amount of thoughts, talks and behaviors. I just keep reminding myself for thousand and billion times, that life, just doesn't go as you plan. Like, you can not always get what you want and hope. Allah will give something to you in the very right time. It is promised in Quran that after hardships there will be ease. Insya Allah. And i just realized that we can not please everyone. Even Allah doesn't please satan. You know, as long as you are on the direction to get your dreams, happiness and loves, just don't mind everybody else. You know, ducks are gonna still quacks, aren't they?

So, with my humble heart, i wish and pray for our happiness, for our broaden mind, for our bright future, for the easiness in every hardships so we can get what we want. Insha Allah, everything is going to be so very allright. Insha Allah..

Outstanding Being

I once heard a speech from one of my inspirations. She said something about kindness, and it kinda slaps me in the face. "Kindness is something that we should all have. That's an innate quality that we have and we need more of that out there". 

I always take one or two or even many messages from great people. I think it's because of my father. As i was a kid, while the other kids go play outside, have some memories of playing outside during nap time, well, I was different. It doesn't mean I did not have any memory like that, well I do have, but not as often as my friend's. My parent tried to distract me with books. Like not going out playing with my friends, they would buy me some new books or toys so I could stay play inside the house, and I could bring my friends too if I wanted, or if they wanted. The books that my father bought, were all about the outstanding beings. I really really hated when my father just gave me no time to play put with my friends, instead buying me books. I really really hated that. But as I look back now, i re-read again the book, in the age i am right now, I am so thankful for that. For having a chance to know the life of these outstanding beings, whether mortals or immortals. As I re-read again, I got a lot of useful information that i could apply on my daily life. And there are always messages in every story, and it is very interesting for me.

Hellen Keller, Walt Disney, Abraham Lincoln, Isadora Duncan, Mahatma Gandhi, Bach, Marie Curie, and Florance Nightingale, they shaped me. They created me. They built me. They were my childhood best friends. Now, I realize that, well this is not my resolution but i realize that it could be amazing to live a useful life, to live a meaningful life, to live as a person who can help others, who can bring happiness to other's, to be an outstanding being. So my prayer is that. May this life give me luck and a chance to be one of the good outstanding beings. Aamiin ya Allah. 

And as a welcoming post, Happy New Year! :)
