Finding Happines
Happines is not about fulfiling all the things that you expect to have.
Sometimes, to feel happy is simply by letting go what you can’t have and grateful for what you have :)
Pilihan
Pilihan itu tidak ada benar atau salah. Yang salah adalah tidak mengambil satu pilihan. Dan yang benar adalah mengusahakan yang sudah diambil menjadi pilihan yang tepat
Memantaskan diri. Itu yg perlu kita lakukan.
Sebutkan kapan kita bakal menikah, minta sama Allah, minta restu orang tua, sambil memantaskan diri sampai waktu yg kita tentukan.
Kalau bisa sambil menyedekahkan sesuatu yg kita sayangi, insya Allah jodohnya didekatkan.

to love: to give and to let go
To give what you want to give is easy. But sometimes it’s not so easy to let go what you have given while you don’t get what you expect in return.
When you’re in love with someone, it’s so easy to give your love to the one you love. But it would be hard to accept that your love one don’t give you the love in return.
Giving something means that you just have to let go what you have given. Life would be easier when you give without expecting anything in return. And it goes to give away your love to your love one. All you have to do is to let go.
Don’t be afraid of giving and not to get anything in return. You just have to believe that when you give, the universe will conspire to get you a gift in return. You might not having what you expect to have, but you will find something greater in return.
I do believe that. I do believe that when you give, you will have the better gift in return. You might not having what you expect, but you will have what is better for you. I do believe that the universe will conspire for you to let you have a better gift when you give away something. All you have to do is to let go what you have given.
When you give your love to someone you will make a person happy. Your love one might not giving you the love in return but for sure you will make this person happy. And when you make someone feel happy, then surely the universe will conspire in giving you a greater happiness in return.
What if you don’t let go what you have given? What if you feel disappoint when you don’t get the love in return from your love one? Wouldn’t you feel unhappy? How would you have happiness if you don’t even feel happy?
All you have to do is to let go. When you give away your love to someone, you for sure have made someone feel happy. And just maybe you do more than that. By giving away your love, you might have made open someone’s heart to be easily being loved. And you just have to feel happy about it even when you don’t really have what you expect in return.
You just have to let go and feel happy of making somebody feel happy because by doing it you will find a greater happiness :)
Life is just too short to keep playing the game. If you really want somebody, you’ll figure out later. Otherwise, you’ll be laying in bed with a blackberry on your chest staring at it, doing nothing for the rest of the night…so if you love someone, don’t say a word, just come over…

If you’d accept surrender, I’ll give up some more. Weren’t you adored?

Act of Random Kindness
It was about three years a go when I had this unforgetable experience of flying on a business class from Amsterdam to Kualalumpur. It might be not a big deal for some people to fly on a business class all the way from Europe to Asia. But for me, it was amazing. I don’t know if I would ever have such experience again in the future since i can’t afford it. I can’t even afford to fly to Europe in a regular class unless i’m assigned by my employer or having special program like scholarship. For that reason, having fly on a business class from Holland to Malaysia is one of a great experience of my life.
I could only have the experience because of a random person that i met in the Schipol Airport. A Malaysian middle age guy that i don’t even know the name. He suddenly came to me and my friend Devi who was in the line to check in. I remember that we were trying to check in at the business and first class counter. We were “dumped” and told to join the long queued line for economy class. And suddenly, this guy, a Malaysian came to us. He asked us to write down our names and told us he would try to help us to be on business class. We were confused. But we wrote down our names anyway in a small piece of paper. And after taking that note, this guy just dissapeared.
And that sort of miracle happened. after we had our boarding pass (in economy class just like the ticket we have) and hand it to the boarding gate, suddenly the ground stewardess told us that our seat were just upgraded to the business class. Our boarding pass just switched to the business class boarding pass and we flew on a nice comfortable seat with all it’s facility for 12 hour flight. Amazing!
We could only have it because this guy just did an act of random kindness.
I don’t really understand why people are doing this. Isn’t it better to help people who really need help instead of doing random kindness? Altough i can never forget what this Malaysian guy did, still i haven’t been inspired to do the same.
Until today, the day when I was born 32 years a go, my father sudenly passed on a message to me. As i recall, he never did this before. the message is clear: “help people altough they never ask.”
In other words, my father just asked me to do acts of random kindness.
I hope I wouldn’t dissapoint my father :)
