Aim High

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Of course we should do that. Rasulullah said that if we want to ask for jannah, ask for the highest. The problem here is to have the determination to stay along the route towards it. I want to graduate with mumtaz, being the best intern, taking MCRP and being a subspecialist doctor by the age of 35. Then to own my own hospital which is the most cozy and comfortable hospital in Malaysia. I also want to do charity, giving free services and help people around. I dream all these. The aim is crystal clear but the path is still dimly lit.

The challenge is to create a synergy between the dream and the path to achieve it. Having discussion with experienced people has taught me that learning from others is extremely important as to not wasting time and to be better than the previous generation. We do not want to create a plateau generation, or even worse a declining one.

Despite all that, faith is the most important factor. It may sound cliché but it is like the oxygen that is always been forgotten its presence and importance. Khalid Al-Walid r.a once, before he embraced Islam, made fun of the muslim for they were promised to be given Rom and Persian, which were the two biggest nations at that time. Ironically, after Khalid r.a embraced Islam, he was the one who did the thing he made fun of. We just totally blind on what exists next to us. I still remember how could I be so brave and enthusiastic that I wanted to put all the Form 3 male student, when I was  Form 5, in the usrah system. I still can't understand from where those hammasah came.

Talking about future, the key is to have faith and do not rush. Then comes the strategy, technique, etc. It sounds quite awkward for me to talk about this since I achieve nothing to be proud of, but I am saying this based on what I learn from people who have preceded me. When having a discussion with youths, mostly they offer strategies as a take-home message. On the contrary, the elderly usually stress on the need to have faith. Merge these two and the light is just a step ahead.

Milestones in Life

We all have milestones in life. From the moment we got out of our mothers' womb, we already had out first milestone, which is moving from womb to world. From that moment onwards, we start crying, sitting, crawling, walking, running and speaking. Then, entering school, college and the list goes on. These milestones actually help us focus and play a role as a motivation for us to reach them. If none of these milestones existed, life would be dull and nonexiciting as we had nothing to look for in short time. However, they are not the end of the story. Instead, just footsteps to reach the final goal. For me as a muslim, my final goal is the hereafter. All of the things I might encounter in this world are not the ultimate goal. "Know that that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion.." (Al-Hadid:20). Knowing this fact is extremely important as to make us realise where to put things on its place accordingly. Believe me, those milestones will keep changing

The Road Not Taken

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Me 2: I wanna go somewhere else. Me 1: Where do you wanna go? Me 2: Panorama. Me 1: Ain't you have to go to SQ? Me 2: Hmm. Yeah, probably. Me 1: Then what's the problem? Me2: The problem is I wanna go to Panorama. Me 1: -_-"

Final Year

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم New semester is going to start in two weeks. It is my final year of medical school in foreign land. To express the feeling, it is a mixture of happy and grief. Happy for being a step closer before having an MBBCh, grief for leaving this land soon. Having a glance at what has happened through these five years, it gives me so much memories, good and bad. The plan I sketched during my first year currently makes me astonished for I was being too ambitious. Yeah, you know first year is the time where everything seems possible to achieve. Now, it is final year. Too much things to do, too less time left. That is where the dilemma comes. Where do I need to focus on? If everyhing is done, nothing will be achieved. The fact that this might be the last chance for me being in a foreign land, I cannot waste my time doing things that will not add to my take home supply before going back for good. Finishing job is much harder than starting it.
