Takdir

My favorite song always change depends on my mood and situation. Now.. I love listening to this song.. Takdir by Opick and Melly Goeslaw. The reason is because I'm in a bad and confusing situation. My mind and my heart are having a serious confrontation. I'm so sad.. Lets just feel the song..

~ TAKDIR ~

Dihempas gelombang dilemparkan angin
Sekisah ku bersedih ku bahagia
Diindah dunia yang berakhir sunyi
Langkah kaki di dalam rencananya

Semua berjalan dalam kehendaknya
Nafas hidup cinta dan segalanya

Dan tertakdir menjalani segala kehendakmu ya Rabbi
Ku berserah ku berpasrah hanya padamu ya Rabbi
Dan tertakdir menjalani segala kehendakmu ya Rabbi
Ku berserah ku berpasrah hanya padamu ya Rabbi

Bila mungkin ada luka cuba tersenyumlah
Bila mungkin tawa cuba bersabarlah
Kerana air mata tak abadi
Akan hilang dan berganti

Bila mungkin hidup hampa dirasa
Mungkinkan hati merindukan Dia
Kerana hanya denganNya hati tenang
Damai jiwa dan raga

Failure Trap

A - your starting point or current performance
B - your reference or stage that you want to achieve
T - your target period
C - your performance or achievement over time T
Grey zone - failure trap

I got this theory from TV show at NTV7. I can't recall the name of that show. Basically.. the show is a documentary of several successful CEOs in Malaysia.

I have no idea how to explain this theory. Could you understand failure trap by just looking at the above graph and the simple notes? Hmm.. I guest not right?

Ok.. I give you an example. Eddie is a a golf player and his current performance is at point A. He has a dream to become a professional golf player likes Tiger Wood who successfully performed at stage B. So.. he sets a target that 10 years from now.. he will be the next Tiger Wood and that means he aims to be at point C.

In real life.. there is no short cut or straight line. Eddie can't simply move along the straight line from point A to C but he will follow the parabolic line. Why? Because in order to be at the same stage as Tiger Wood.. Eddie needs to learn everything about Tiger Wood. How he plays.. how he exercises.. what he eats.. etc. So.. at the beginning.. Eddie will face a difficulty in trying to adopt with the new life style and for sure his performance will slightly drop before he begins to improve and finally achieves his target.

If you are down while pursuing your dream.. don't give up because that is a failure trap. It's trying to make you fail. So.. remember.. only those who can overcome the failure trap will reach their final destination successfully.

Pilihan

Jika kita hendak menuju ke suatu tempat.. ada banyak laluan yang boleh kita gunakan. Tak kisahlah apa juga laluan yang kita pilih.. yang penting kita sampai di tempat yang ingin dituju.

Sekarang saya berada di persimpangan. Saya berada di simpang tiga dan saya perlu memilih laluan mana yang akan saya lalui. Setiap laluan mempunyai pemandangan yang berbeza dan saya pasti akan mengalami pengalaman yang berbeza sepanjang perjalanan. Tapi semua laluan tersebut menuju ke arah destinasi akhir yang sama.

Saya tak pasti laluan mana yang perlu saya pilih. Saya betul-betul tak pasti dan tak kisah perlu melalui laluan yang mana. Yang penting bagi saya.. saya berjaya sampai ke destinasi akhir yang ingin saya tuju.

Justeru.. saya hanya berserah kerana saya tak tahu apa yang terbaik untuk diri saya. Saya redha dengan apa juga ketetapan yang telah ditakdirkan untuk saya. Saya hanya mampu berusaha dan menyiapkan diri dengan persediaan yang sepatutnya untuk memulakan perjalanan. Biarlah Dia yang menentukan.. kerana hanya Dia yang tahu segalanya yang terbaik untuk saya..

Doakan yang terbaik untuk saya..

Stress

Now.. I'm in a very stressful situation and I'm thinking to just give up. I'm seriously down right now. But I know I can't give up. This is just another obstacle that I have to face along my journey. I remember words from Dato' Maznah and I'm trying to apply her advice..

"I am transforming stress into energy" - al_qamaru

Stress is considered as a negative force. It can make our life miserable. So.. we must control our stress in a smart way. How? By transforming the stress from a negative into positive force which is energy. Lets try..

Resistance

Newton Third Law states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you want to move forward.. there will be a resistance trying to force you backward. This is a nature of life. More resistances and difficulties come.. you are closer to your dream..

"Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal." - Goethe

So.. whenever you face a difficulty.. always be calm and remember that this is a part of success.

"Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more upon it." - Albert Schweitzer
