It has been a long, long time since I last update my blog. My apology to those who follow me - from California and other places all over the world… or am I losing followers.
To write for me is to share. To share how to be strong. How to be grateful to Allah.
We like to be praised for our work. Sometimes we will be discontented because our boss doesn't seem to appreciate our work. If we have this kind of feeling….. and we are bound to have it one time or another……. that means we are not sincere enough. Sincerity in performing our job is to see the good effects it has on people's life even though nobody seems to notice. We forget that Allah notices. We forget that Allah's rewards can come in many splendid forms. Good health, great family, devoted wife/husband, abiding kids, caring neighbors, helpful coworkers,…… the list can go on and on. Instead we limit our happiness to the praise of our boss. Such a wasteful life but many people didn't realize this.
We like to look beautiful. But we forget beauty is inside our heart. A kind person's face will shine. Sometimes when I looked at a person's face on the street, his/her face look dark even though that person has a fair skin. I guess there's no nur or the light of iman/faith on that person's face. The best make up for our face is a sincere smile that will outshine the sun rays.
We like to do things the easy way. But we forget that it takes 99% of sweat and perspiration and only 1% of genius to produce success. And yet we envy those who work hard to get to where they are now.
May Allah bless us all. Ameen.
