Something to Ponder

+ No comment yet

I just realized, it is indeed true, empty your soul is the key to start a day, or in the other hand it means, be like an empty bowl, because full bowl can’t go elsewhere, if you are an empty bowl it is possible to put more water into it.


I used to refer to this metaphor when I am in a mood. There is no better way to resolve any problem in life but by being down-to-earth.


It basically has close association with Islamic teaching, the prophet PEACE BE UPON HIM, once said to a bunch of people who had just returned from a war, when they proclaimed that “this is the toughest battle ever” but then The Prophet reminded them “the actual or toughest battle is not the one they claimed but instead here” he tapped his chest to indicate our arrogance that has been locked in for long.


The message that our beloved prophet MUHAMMAD tries to get crossed here is that we have to remove as much arrogance as we can. Step further back and be nobody, take the first step only after observing or judging what is ahead of you.


Apparently this is like a silence virus eroding our soul from inside out. By the way, all these are from The late Yasmin Ahmad. She made these wonderful remarks when she was invited as a guest on this show called TEDXkl, only available online. I am pretty sure you have not watched this video yet.


Its been awhile since I last watched the video, its only today when I sense that there is something seems incomplete in me, obviously the first direction that I will turn to was certainly my one and only creator, and secondly, I will go for this spectacular short-length video. Because who would have been thought than somebody like the late Yasmin Ahmad could come out with such brilliance words as this, don’t you think so?


But I must say that she is well-spoken type of person, it seems like that regardless whatever kind of questions that are thrown over her and she finds it just like a game that requires educated solutions.


And yet she did it, In split second, she turned things back to norm and I believe this is probably the reason why I pick her as my third inspiring person in life, Tun Mahathir comes second, and the FIRST ONE guess no more THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD S.A.W


You should watch the video…..
