Suasana baru

assalamualaikum. Ana dan keluarga baru berpindah ke Melaka. Suasana baru, rakan baru, kadang-kadang menuntut kita supaya lebih bersabar untuk memahami dan menserasikan diri.

Kami berpindah kerana urusan kerja. Ana pula ada tugas baru, menjadi pendidik di sebuah kolej di melaka. Betul ada berpendapat Melaka is a nice place to stay. Tidak havoc mcm di K.L. Tapi bagi kami yang pertama kali menjejakkan kaki ke selandar tempat ana ditugaskan ( daerah lain pernah beberapa kali), tempat ini tidak jauh bezanya dengan kampung mak-ayah ana di batu Pahat. Kemudahan seperti bank, hospital dan shopping center semua jauh. menuntut perjalanan lebih kurang 30 hingga 1 jam. Anak-anak pula kelihatan tidak gembira dengan suasana baru. Adawiyah kata, "kampungnya umi! x seronok la. dah la rumah kecik" ..and so on.. biasa la bebudak meluahkan saja apa yang dirasa.

dan betul juga kata orang, tak kenal maka tak cinta. setelah 2 minggu di sini, anak-anak mula menyesuaikan diri dan lebih ceria. Kecuali semalam, adawiyah tertinggal bas, menangis-nangis bila sampai di rumah. Ana fikir tentu dia akan meragam hari ni x nak pergi sekolah, tapi alhamdulillah, seronok je..

Setelah mengambil kira pendapat anak-anak akhirnya kami tidak tinggal di selandar. Kami mencari rumah sekitar jasin yang lebih "Bandar" sedikit. semua kemudahan ada di jasin. dan kebetulannya ana pernah berlajar di mrsm jasin lama dulu. so tau la serba sedikit tentang pekan ni. ana ke kolej mengambil masa kurang stgh jam. jalan lengang dan suasana tenang setiap pagi. Suami pula ke Bandar Hilir tempat ditugaskan mengambil masa yang lebih kurang sama.

Yang pasti setelah 2 minggu di sini, tak dapat dapat lagi menjalankan hobi memasak dan membaca seperti dulu. Masih sibuk dengan pelbagai urusan penempatan baru, medical checkup etc..

Sama kita fikirkan, philosophy tentang kerja di bawah...


A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered. Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible. Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying.

Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself." The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition.

We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed. Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition . Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.

Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life! Watch your thoughts ; they become words. Watch your words ; they become actions. Watch your actions ; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character . Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
....as a muslim we have to work because its apart of our ibadah to Allah...stil we can enjoy life an become a balanced person..
