Hope.

hope.


a dangerous word, but yet it encourages us. if wanted something to go as expected, the first thing we'd do is we would hope for it to go well as we planned it. sadly, there's a downside to that.


hoping something to go as you planned is really a 50/50 chance. it could go wrong, or right. either way, we won't know for sure unless if we're lucky.


now you realized how sensitive the word 'hope' is. that's why when we planned something, we can't really put high hopes on it like what i did earlier today.


let me tell you a story about something i learn a thing or two about 'hope' today.


i was planning this since the day before i left for Mekah. that was waaaaaayy ahead from today but hey, you know what they say ;

"Always plan ahead"

while i was there, i bought two necklaces. both of them are about the same except for the Arabic letter engraved on it. it's a name. so i can tell which necklace is it for. it was a birthday present for a friend of mine. someone who i loved and was very close to my heart.


3 weeks later,
i traveled quite far just to get to see her. the last time i saw her was about a month ago. i missed her dearly since then. i did all this just so i could her. sadly, i couldn't. it was a wasted effort. i ended up getting home, completely dissapointed with shattered hope and a broken heart.


moral of the story here;
you can't hope for something that you planned, even if you planned it way ahead to go right. it's a 50/50 chance really. 


a few last words,

happy 15th birthday. may Allah bless you and do your best in PMR.


there's this one article i read recently in a magazine. it's about moving on. it said that there's two concept of it. the first is called "the American way of moving on" and "the British way of moving on"


The American Way
you worked hard, you faced all the challenges, you did your best but however, you must accept that you aren't just good enough. other chances will come to you eventually. you might as well give up and move on.


The British Way
if you want to achieve success in life, hard work, determination, motivation and inspiration is a must. you muss not let challenges and hardship to hold you back. there's always an award for all your hard work. 


that's all for now. 'till then, goodnight.
