A Poem By Dean Alfange That Really Inspires Me

I was introduced to this poem when I involved in Zhulian business in 2004-2005. Even though my journey with Zhulian has ended, I still use and apply all the knowledge that I’ve gained especially in term of self motivation and marketing techniques.

Please take your time to read and enjoy the poem..

I do not choose to be a common man.
It is my right to be uncommon.
I seek opportunity to develop whatever talents God gave me – not security.
I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole.
I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.
I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout.
I will never cower before any earthly master nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say – ‘This, with God’s help, I have done.’
All this is what it means to be an man.
- Dean Alfange

Jika kita mahu Allah redha dgn kita, kita perlu redha dgn Allah

Hahaha… another “ayat penyedap hati” for today..

Why do i keep posting ayat2 penyedap hati these past few days? Actually starting last week I am applying to become an academician in a few IPTAs and some of them stated that the candidate need to have at least 3.0 CGPA for their bachelor degree. Unfortunately I don’t belong to this category.

After talking to a few officers and friends in the academic industry, they suggested that I apply for the job since I have experience and Masters Degree. Well, i did apply and I’m crossing my fingers hoping that they will look at my overall qualifications instead of rejecting me straight away.

“Dan janganlah kamu iri hati terhadap karunia yang telah dilebihkan Allah kepada sebagian kamu atas sebagian yang lain. Karena bagi laki2 ada bagian dari apa yang mereka usahakan, dan bagi perempuan pun ada bagian dari apa yang mereka usahakan. mohonlah kepada Allah sebahagian dari kurniaNya. Sungguh, Allah maha mengetahui segala sesuatu,” [QS An-Nisa’, 4:3

Just a reminder to myself not to compare anyone’s life with mine.
