Assalamualaikum & Good Day everyone (^_^)
After a long.. long... long hiatus, i managed to open this blog of mine and write to my hearts content. well, actually write something. haha..
things have been very hectic and busy to the fact that i felt drained but i wouldn't let that stop me from finishing my works. As a student to me my duty is more to my studies. Gah! i can't wait for the semester holidays to come. The best part is that Ramadhan month is comingggg (^_^)
..
Mudah-mudahan kita sempat dipertemukan dengan bulan yang mulia ini. I don't hope for anything much except the forgiveness of Allah SWT. Looking back on the things that happen in this semester, I felt a lot of changes going through. For the better or worse, i don;t want to judge. Ambil yang jernih & buang yang keruh. I became more aware of the responsibilities that i need to do here at home and in campus as well.
Final examination is around the corner. As the students in my class use to say, the nearer the end of lecture week comes, the stress level also shoots up. With last minute presentations, assignments, quizzes and test all over the schedule its a no wonder everyone becomes cranky and go all incredible hulk. Yep, it's normal... lagi-lagilah yang kena dengan member yang x cun punya orang. How to survive the few last weeks of class? well, there's not much to say. It depends on a lot of things on how you cope with it actually.
The only advice and tips i can give is:
Number 1
Don't worry about other things that are bringing you down. Worry first about the critical task and works you need to finish on the spot. Even if it means breaking a few hearts (though i discourage any of you to take that measure. still work is work) DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! its a taboo in my dictionary to procrastinate on a job or related task. Even if you think you can do it alone, still i suggest go and get help. Work with your team. Don't work against the flow. Get them to understand and finish what you guys have started. Though it doesn't look good but its the right thing to do. if they still don't understand, then do your thing.. (punch them in the face for all i care!... or just report to the lecturer) (use that only in the last result). It's your marks you have to do something about it...
Number 2
Its not about taking people down to get up or be smarter than the rest. Its about handling responsibilities with total action. Don't talk or nag but you yourself don't do the work. I see a lot of the students like this. in the end i'm the only one doing the work. It's the last week and everyone's cranky and stressed up. You have to keep your composure and remain at least calm. Bawa banyak-banyak2 zikir and istighfar. Doa banyak-banyak supaya dipermudahkan Allah semua urusan. Its not good to fight over things. People can be difficult to handle sometimes but that doesn't mean that they can step on you. You have to be fair and remind them of their responsibilities. Negotiate with them in a good way that will give both parties a win-win situation.
Number 3
Each individual is different and so is their capacity to handle things. I believe that all people are unique in their own way. Some are born smart while some struggle for excellence but failed multiple times (macam aku je... haha. just kidding). Allah has His ways when He wants to teach us. I learned that the hard way. When you start your journey in anything that you do, remind yourself back why you started it in the first place and why you want to finish it. You will see the bigger picture... look back to the objectives... I like challenges sometimes. During the meeting of the freshmen last year in Kem Permai, i did a lot of obstacle race. At first i thought obstacle race... huh... how am i going to get pass that? With a little help, i managed to overcome it all and dared myself to do something that i thought i wouldn't do like climbing a 3 feet obstacle. (I'm afraid of heights) God, i don't want to remember that.. yet it feels nice that i can accomplish something. So should you... no matter how hard the task is, you can do it. Have faith in yourself and Allah... You never know your potential until you try. =)
Number 4
You can't expect things to be perfect. No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes but they also have the power to change that. The choice is in their hands....Learn from experience. Now i have been teamed up with people who are worse than a group of orcs that tries to attack Dale... A lot. It's a good thing i know their moves and so with that i use it to my advantage. You cannot change people but you can certainly help to make them realize that if you still act like a crap you are not going anywhere. That's why it is important to choose your members of the team wisely. Still if we end up with problematic people its not the end of the world, just not yet. You have to play the key role as the leader and do your part to guide them. Don't let them step on you or boss you around. Instead you are going to set things straight. You can voice your opinions but not to the extent to break hearts. Tegur dengan cara yang berhemah. In time they themselves will come to understand. Be mature and set a good example to them. They soon will see that they too want to succeed. Still you can't change people but you can be a great example and help others to achieve success...
Well, i guess that's just about the ramble. Things are a little cloudy from where i stand but that won't dampen my spirits to strive for success. Life can be difficult but with a little bit of hope and faith in Allah and in yourself, InShaaAllah... you will make it through. =) =) Believe in Allah and believe in your strength. You cannot change the past but you can certainly change the future and that all starts by living life to the fullest here, in the present... Till then dear readers =)
Wasalam...
P/S: I may not write for a while because i am sitting for my final exam soon. InShaaAllah, i'll try to write when the semester holiday comes... =)
