Once upon a time, there was a very strong man. He asked for a job from a timber merchant and he got it. The pay was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the man was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he is supposed to work. The first day, he brought down 18 trees. The Boss was very much impressed and said, 'Congratulations Go on that way!

Very motivated by the words of the boss, he tried harder the next day, but only could bring down 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only bring down 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing down less and less trees. 'I must be losing my strength', he thought to himself. He went to the Boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on. 'When was the last time you sharpened your axe?' the boss asked. 'Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been busy cutting trees.



The moral of this story:

Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take time to sharpen the axe. In today's world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy than ever. Why is that? Could it be that we have forgotten how to stay sharp? There's nothing wrong with activity and hard work. But we should not get so busy and neglect the truly important things in life, like our personal life, taking time to care for others, Taking time to read etc. We all need time to relax, to think and meditate, to learn and grow. If you don't take the time to sharpen the axe, we will become dull and lose our effectiveness. So, start from today, think about the ways by which you could do your job more effectively and add a lot of value to it.

Hope this story has given you some insight to life, may you be happy always!

SAYA YANG MASIH MENGANGGUR

Ramai yang bertanya saya tengah buat apa sekarang ini, malah ada rakan yang menelefon memberitahu ramai yang bertanya pada dia apa yang telah saya buat saat ini.Maka jawapan saya bagi mereka yang bertanya- SAYA MASIH MENGANGGUR

Saya menghabiskan double degree dalam shariah law pada tengah bulan 11, asalnya mahu rehat-rehat tidak mahu berkejar2 mencari kerja, ya mungkin disebabkan janji yang ditaburkan oleh sebuah badan kerajaan pada saya-lepas saya habis belajar beritahu pada mereka. Jadi ketika hampir habis semester terakhir shariah, ketika ramai rakan-rakan saya menghantar permohonan kerja atau chambering, saya tidak melakukan apa-apa, cuma lihat saja, yang akhirnya lepas habis belajar, janji yang pernah ditaburkan hanya tinggal janji

Saat ini, ramai sahabat saya yang sudah bekerja, ada yang bekerja di AG, petronas, chambering, jadi lawyer, ambil master mahupun menghadiri FSTEp training ( training yang dianjurkan oleh Persatuan bank-bank malaysia dan di sponsor oleh bank negara), dan saya hanya masih menganggur. FSTEP mengingatkan saya tentang saat dilema untuk membuat keputusan, antara minat dan kontrak saya dengan sebuah syarikat petroleum di malaysia, yang memberi saya biasiswa sepanjang pengajian, tetapi tidak memberi jaminan kerja, hanya menyuruh saya menunggu 6 bulan dari tarikh report habis study. Menerima fstep yang trainingnya setahun, yang jika quit perlu membayar balik elaun yang telah bank negara berikan, menyebabkan pada 7hb january, saya mengecewakan sahabat saya aton, dan tidak hadir pada registration day. maka impian saya yang ingin menjadi salah seorang shariah advisor di bank negara, mungkin hanya tinggal impian.

Alangkah baiknya kalau saya seorang yang determine, sanggup berbuat apa saja demi sebuah cita-cita, determine seperti beberapa rakan saya, yang membuat chambering kerana mahu menjadi lawyer, yang ambil master kerana memang mahu jadi academician. saya? akan chambering kalau tidak ada peluang yang lain dan juga berkira-kira mengambil master sebagai jalan terakhir malah tidak fokus tentang masa depan saya.

dalam jangka masa menganggur ini, saya mula memahami sesuatu perkara, yang dahulunya saya memang tahu, tapi mungkin tidak mendalam kefahamannya-iaitu tentang rezeki. Baru saya sedar tidak perlu pointer yang tinggi untuk mendapat kerja yang diinginkan, kerana semuanya adalah tentang rezeki dan mungkin kerja yang memang sangat-sangat impikan mungkin adalah sesuatu yang bukan terbaik untuk kita.

Doakan saya dimurahkan rezeki, mendapat kerja secepat mungkin!

Outlandish Look Into My Eyes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P12aqVeZkQ

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

U don’t see a .... thing

Coz u can’t relate to me

U blinded by our differences

My life makes no sense to u

I’m the persecuted one

U the red, white and blue

Each day u wake in tranquility

No fears to cross your eyes

Each day I wake in gratitude

Thanking God He let me rise

You worry about your education

And the bills u have to pay

I worry about my vulnerable life

And if I’ll survive another day

You biggest fear is getting a ticket

As you cruise your Cadillac

My fear is that the tank that’s just left

Will turn around and come back

Yet do u know the truth of where your money goes

Do u let the media deceive your mind

Is this a truth that nobody knows

Has our world gone all blind

Yet do u know the truth of where your money goes

Do u let the media deceive your mind

Is this a truth that nobody knows

Some one tell me

Oh let’s not cry tonight

I promise you one day it’s through

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters

Oh shine a light for every soul

That ain’t with us no more

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters

See I’ve known terror for quite some times

57 years so cruel

Terror breathes the air I breathe

It’s the check point on my way to school

Terror is the robbery of my land

And the torture of my mother

The imprisonment of my innocent father

The bullet in my baby brother

The bulldozers and the tanks

The gasses and the guns

The bombs that fall outside my door

All due to your funds

You blame me for defending myself

Against the ways of my enemies

I’m terrorized in my own land

And I’m the terrorist

American do you realize

That the taxes that u pay

Feed the forces that traumatize

My every living day

So if I won’t be here tomorrow

It’s written in my fate

May the future bring a brighter day

The end of our wait
