You are mild-mannered, good,
strong and you love to help others.
You are SIMBA.
You're young, naive, and misguided. However, don't fear, because your growth comes exponentially with hard times ahead. Only then will you reach the goals you've set out to accomplish.
The Sorting Hat would put you in Gryffindor.
You are bold, passionate, and brave. You have a highly-defined sense of right and wrong, and you are not afraid to speak your mind or fight for what you want.
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.
"While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress".
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups." "Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it." So don't let the cups drive you...enjoy the coffee instead.

picture of the day has to be this: giggles. mukataktaumalu.com
It was a typical wkday morning, i cant really recall when. It was during my 5BX(5 basic exercise) that i had a chance to do some reflection..i noe..its weird-_-... it was the all time favourite position.."Jack Knife Exercise in position READY!" ehehhee...it is usually this position that our PTI(physical training instructor) MIGHT let us juz lie there n rest..or sleep..heh..ironically, instead of sleeping, i chose 2 let my mind wander.
As i look up at the sky, stars were twinkling bright, i reminisce a certain issue that have led me to where i am today. a more focused guy.heh. not so much matured but focus=P ..bcoz of that certain 'event', i planned out how my life would b few years down the road. target was set n i am on my way. its not really a step by step planning but more of a guide. how i will get there is up 2 my own 'creativity'.
the thing is...the target.its sort of a moving target so i have 2 b ready for changes and at the end of the day,even b4 i reach the target, it may not even b there anymore=) ive come realise that if someday, the target is not there anymore, my journey has 2 go on. as people have always say, the destination is nothing without the journey=) n yes! i will CHOOSE 2 stand tall no matter what happens! OH ALLAH, YOU WILL be my guide! i know someday i will fall, but its only YOU who can pick me up. Ya Allah, plz let me be strong n consistent for i am weak. plz remind me frequently of why i was introduced 2 this world. its be-cause of...YOU..oh Allah..be my strength..
as those thots crawled thru my mind, tears started 2 fill my eyes but i know everything will be okay coz Allah is always with me..no matter what happens Muslim dont give up. i am not a quitter but a fighter! ALLAHU AKBAR!
"So lose not heart. Nor fall into despair: for you must gain mastery if you are true in faith." (Ali Imran [3]: 139)
The article below isnt very new but i felt refreshing after reading it. I hope u guyz feel the same=)
THE SPORTS CAR AND THE QURAAN A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, the young man waited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Quran. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said "With all your money you give me a Quran?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old,and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Quran, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Quran and began to turn the pages.As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Quran. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss ALLAH blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?=)
