apples!

A teacher teaching Math's to seven-year-old Kazim asked him, "If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?" Within a few seconds Kazim replied confidently, "Four!"

The dismayed teacher was expecting an effortless correct answer (three). She was disappointed. "Maybe the child did not listen properly," she thought. She repeated, "Kazim, listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?"

Kazim had seen the disappointment on his teacher's face. He calculated again on his fingers. But within him he was also searching for the answer that will make the teacher happy. His search for the answer was not for the correct one, but the one that will make his teacher happy. This time hesitatingly he replied, "Four..."

The disappointment stayed on the teacher's face. She remembered that Kazim liked strawberries. She thought maybe he doesn't like apples and that is making him loose focus. This time with an exaggerated excitement and twinkling in her eyes she asked, "If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one strawberry, then how many you will have?"

Seeing the teacher happy, young Kazim calculated on his fingers again. There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher. She wanted her new approach to succeed. With a hesitating smile young Kazim enquired, "Three?"

The teacher now had a victorious smile. Her approach had succeeded. She wanted to congratulate herself. But one last thing remained. Once again she asked him, "Now if I give you one apple and one apple and one more apple how many will you have?"
Promptly Kazim answered, "Four!"

The teacher was aghast. "How Kazim, how?" she demanded in a little stern and irritated voice.
In a voice that was low and hesitating young Kazim replied, "Because I already have one apple in my bag."

Moral of the Story:
"When someone gives you an answer that is different from what you expect don't think they are wrong. There maybe an angle that you have not understood at all. You will have to listen and understand, but never listen with a predetermined notion."

Alhamdulillah hari ni berjaya buat satu lagi kuih faveret mak which is apam beras.

Yaa-Haa!

People make mistakes you know.

Have u ever felt the taste of doing something wrong?

I have. And it felt awful.

And did any of ur past mistakes come and pay a visit in ur dreams?

Mine did. And it double the awfulness.

I believe in second chances. I believe every living person deserve to be given second chance. Alhamdulillah I realized what i did was wrong. So I've given myself that.

Tapi not everyone think the way I did.

Pernah tak anda fikir yang segala yang berlaku tu lah yang membentuk who we are now? Betul tak?

Eg: Kalau aku tak buat mistakes tu, mungkin aku tak tahu mcm mana nilai kemaafan itu, how important to think rationaly before u commit something, betapa penting perasaan penyesalan tu dan aku takkan tahu yang pain somehow can make u grow stronger.

Okey apa yang aku nak cakap sini ialah bila kita nampak other people make mistake, don't straightly jump into conclusion, jangan menghukum dgn membabi buta. Kita tak lalui apa yg he/she has been thru, so layak ke kita hukum someone? Tanya diri masing masing. Reflect balik, pernah tak kita buat silap.

Maybe ada antara anda yg bertuah sebab dikurniakan akal yang rasional. Rationale enuf to avoid any major mess in ur life. Tapi macam mana pulak dengan yg tak bertuah tu?

And I was the unlucky one 4 years ago.

So kalau anda nampak orang buat something silly, jangan la cemuh dia or whatsoever. Skrg mybe masa dia buat salah, mana tahu akan dtg kita pulak buat salah kan, we never know what would happen in future. So instead of cemuh maki org tu, baik kita bagi dorongan utk dia berubah.

Anda anda yg pernah buat silap, ingat lah bila everyone throw rocks at you, kita ada Allah yang maha penyayang. Cari jalan kepadaNya, mengadu padaNya. InshaAllah dipermudahkan.

Walk in my shoe then only u can judge me

Before you judge my life, my past or my character...

Walk in my shoes, walk the path I have traveled, live my sorrow, my doubts, my fear, my pain and my laughter.

Remember, everyone has a story.

When you've lived my life then you can judge me.

I don't buy ur drama

There comes a point in life when i get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything,but it's not giving up. It's realizing i don't need certain people and the drama they bring.

I'm so tired of you and your little friends.
