SUCCESS

People often mistake success for the absence of ‘mistakes’ and ‘failures’.

U can see it in the approving smiles for perfect resumes and unblemished career paths. Yet what really matters in success is the end result. Not how u get there. Most people who have so called perfect resumes and unblemished career paths also lead ordinary lives with minor yearly salary increments and muted improvements like the occasional car/house upgrade.

The Donald Trumps, Robert Kiyosakis, Richard Bransons and even Syed Mokhtars of the world on the other hand, faced bankruptcy, lawsuits, poverty.. ups and downs as deep as the valleys and as high as the mountains… yet in the end their triumph is far greater than mere mortals’ – billion dollar empires, worldwide fame and power. The truly success-driven don’t care about how they get there, only that they do get there.

So the next time someone looks down at u for not living an unblemished life, be it in career, personal finance or anything else, smile and remember that they have the common man’s thinking while u are planning for greater things to come.

U are not like any typical human being out there.

Note for myself,

FARED ISA.  

LIFE ISN'T THAT BAD AFTER ALL

Life is more than just a game. Life is something very distinctive and very subjective. I would like to stress on the importance of life itself to every single being in this earth.

Sometimes we may experience downfall. Sometimes it seems like the whole world is crashing on u, and when things seems to be sailing smoothly, that is when things goes out of hand. I personally experience it myself, (and I believe so do u). And for a moment, it seems like my life is useless. But it came a point in time where I sat down and think about the possibilities of what happens now is partly the work of God, or perhaps things happened because it is meant to be that way. I know that sometimes life itself may fail to u to a point u are thinking that what is the use of u being born in this world. But allow me to say this, IT IS NOT ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF U LIVING IN THIS WORLD, IS WHAT U DID WHILE U ARE LIVING THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE TO THE WORLD.

Lesson For Everyone

One, young, academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the first interview. The director who did the last interview, made the last decision.

The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research. He never had a year when he did not score.


The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" The youth answered "none".

Letter To My Teenager

My teenager,

U willing to spend thousands of Ringgit to buy the brand new handphone but u never willing to spend RM20 on books.

U willing to go out karaoke with ur friends but u never willing to study with ur friends.

U willing to make ur parents sad but u never willing to make ur bf/gf sad.

The World is Round

The blog is mouldy. I apologise for the laziness and unscheduled time of updating my blog this lately, and here is doing what a lazy blogger does; mumbling.

The world is round, ur act today will decide what’s going to happen on u tomorrow.

All of us knew this, but still, it’s hard for us to behave. Selfishness, arrogant, liar, corrupt and etc. People tend to have these all negative values.

One quick question, are we, and all living beings just survival machines, blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes, as what Richard Dawkins states?

Salleh Gregor Samsa

Salleh Gregor Samsa.

Ever heard this name? He’s not an artist, he’s not a politician and he’s not our second astronaut. But in these past few days he got all the fame that all these guys ever dream off.

What makes he own the fame?

Easy. With these words, “kepada yang berpuasa; Fuck you off!”

It's Me, Ramadhan

Knock knock!

Who’s there?

It’s me.

Who?

It’s Ramadhan.

The Lack Of The Courtesy

I went to government hospital last Sunday.

I arrived there quite early, coz u have to wait at least few hours to meet the doctor in a government hospital unless u have some kind of connection or link with Sultan or any Datuks.

After did my X-RAY scan, I went to the counter again waiting for my number being call. This time they asked me to wait at the small waiting room section. So I went to this room.

Dear Fatine Young

When I was at mamak’s with this evening, my friend suddenly came out with one name that really caught my attention. Fatine Young.   

Look at the picture above. She is Fatine Young. She’s pretty isn’t she? Well, look again because ‘she’ is actually ‘he’.

 His real name is Mohammed Fazdil Min Bahari. He was a make-up artist. He turned out to be transsexual, and prefers to be called Fatine or better known as Fatine Young.

Don't Take Daddy For A Ride Boys

This is what u get if u mess with daddy, kid.

The man in the picture above named Baharom Long, age 85, just teaches a great lesson to three of his sons.

He sued them for RM2millions.

Suing ur children on ur birthday is probably not the best thing a father could do, but this man managed to do it. It proven that he is man enough!

Things That U Shouldn't Do When Eating Out !

Eating out at a restaurant should be remembered as a pleasant experience. It's one of the few times that we're able to take a little time off from the pressures of daily life and just sit, be relaxed, and just enjoy the benefits of someone else serving "us" a meal.

I went to a restaurant just now to watch football with my friends (England vs. Slovania, if u care to know) and well, of coz there were so many other customers in the restaurant, with so many kinds of behaviors.  

Few hours sitting there, I did observe people around me.

And that was when I realized I should write something about what u shouldn’t do at the restaurant coz so many people tend to make small, common mistakes that effect the enjoyment of their dinning out experience and also effect others around them.

Here are the things that u really shouldn’t do at the restaurant (take notes!):  

The Life of This Woman is Worth Less Than The Life of This Cat

This is sad. This is crazy. This is inhuman.

Somebody has posted a video of a woman with a kitten in the Facebook. Out of curiosity, I did click the play button, where after spend few minutes watching the video, I wish I didn’t click it.

The video shows, a scantily clad woman posed with a small kitten along a riverbank, at first gently caressing the animal's fur. She then put the down the kitten and began stomping on the kitten with her high-heeled shoes, crushing its body and head till blow out the eyes of the kitten, and leaving it in a lifeless, bloody heap.

I'm speechless and in shock.  

This is by far the worst thing I have ever seen and I wonder how this even allowed on the internet. This devil woman should be thrown in prison. These are the few of the pictures :

Shisha Vs. Cigarette

If u think it is cool to hanging out with ur friend and smoking some-weird-shape of shisha, think again!

If u think shisha is less harmful than cigarettes, think again!

If u think that shisha is a way to wean of smoking, think again!

If u think that England gonna win this year World Cup, also think again!

Even though it is very cool to have teh tarik at mamaks with our buddies, the level of cool will falls badly when we also conclude shisha on our table!

I found out from many of my smoker friends that they felt shisha was a way to wean of smoking, but it grew addictive too because they felt it was less harmful than cigarettes. (There were other factors like how they wanted to try all flavors from vanilla to strawberry and etc!) However guys, shisha is in no way, beneficial or less harmful to one's health compared to cigarettes.

I would wager that most of u

Tips How To Make People Like U and Be Ur Friends

Do u know why the law put the bad people into the cell?

It is to block their freedom from outer world. But worst of it, the reason why they put bad people in cell is because to separate them with the people that they like and love such as family and friends. That’s the worst punishment ever because when they don’t get to see or meet anybody that is close to them, it will torture them psychologically, it will torture their minds and insanity.

So for us who still lucky enough not to be in prison (haha), we better appreciate it. Better find friends rather than find trouble. Here are some tips that u should follow to make people like u and automatically by following these, it will turn even stranger to be ur friends.  

PARENTS; Beware Of Ur Kids Activities

There are worse things than killing your children. You can just do it the normal way. Let them live in today's world.

Beware of ur children activities.  

While new technology and vast capabilities of information gathering and communication is still an awesome thing for most of us, to our children, it’s just life.

With so many social networking nowadays, almost all of us have at least one account with the social networking, whether it is Facebook, Myspace or anything. We, one of the billions of Internet users, are so open and vulnerable to the whole kind of people in this world.

All group ages of people use the social networking, whether to connecting with friend, for leisure and even for a business. And we all know that Facebook, MySpace, Friendster and so many others social networking nowadays can bring good, and also can bring harm to the users.

BUT what I want to highlight here is the danger of social networking to the kids.

Forgive me ibu...

Son : Ibu...

Ibu : What?

Son : Yes ibu. We are too poor ibu. I want to go and work at the city to try my luck there. Who know someday I’m gonna be rich and famous. I can change our family fate ibu.

Student Falls To Death Fleeing Khalwat Raid

 
وَلاَ تَقْرَبُواْ الزِّنَى إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَسَاء سَبِيلًا

Do not draw near to fornication, for it is an indecency, and its way is evil. (Al-Isra ; 32)

KUALA LUMPUR: A 21-year-old college student fell to his death from the fifth floor of an apartment while trying to escape from religious officials in Gombak yesterday.

It was believed that he panicked when mosque officials conducted checks early in the morning.

The officials went to the Jelutong Apartments in Selayang Heights, Gombak, at 1.40am after receiving a tip-off on immoral activities.

No need to tell the world about it.

People do change. Always change. Some change to good, and not to say some change to bad.

In life, we always have regret, we always do certain thing that we thinking afterwards we could have done differently, and it will end up by making us feeling sad. But why we have to be sad? Why we have to think so much and waste our tears about the past? It’s already past! Just accept it, absorb it, learn from it, make an example of it, or maybe just take it as a faith. Then change! Change to be better so that we won’t regret again in the future like we regret now because of the past. Smart people won’t do the same mistake twice, isn’t it?

But there a certain people that I known, change, to positive of coz, but the problem is, along the way, they showed off, they tell everyone about their transformation, about the kindness that they have made so far in order to change. And this is so wrong!

I’m sorry to say, but I think it’s inappropriate and kinda SILLY.

The Light

“Fared, my father’s gone, he passed away yesterday. Pray for the brotherhood in Islam. He need blessing from all. Shall I remind you that take care and be a good son to your parents while they are still there for you, before it’s too late, we don’t know when our time will come”.

I recently received this sms from a good friend of mine. When I read this sms, there were a thousand of things that came and running through my mind. “What’s wrong with your dad?” “How come in sudden?” “Why telling me too late, why not yesterday?” “How about you?” “Are you okay?” “How does you feel?”

I numb for a moment. Thousands of question running in my mind which left me in a state of confusion. I knew his father. He was a good man. A type of person that is easy to get along too, very polite, humble, full of respect to others around him.
