What To Tell My Kids

Dont tell me something bad, i will tell you something much worse. :-)

I dont know about you ppl, but when i was your age, i was willing to die and work for free just to get into the back door. I did get into the back door of Bank Bumi, and thru that door got into Siti Nurhaliza's back door (up to her Hotel room and stand besides her alone in the Bilik Air where i was powdering my face and she was reading her script. Also back door now to the Bazaar Leadership. There were more backdoors but no no i am not David Copperfield, just someone looking for a reason why i m born on earth.

Even though i like u all consider this as rezeki and destinies from Allah jua, but as makhluq jahil (what Allah ordained as fitrah), i see nothing to lose by having faith in the own self and not only master knowlege but have an open daring view spirit, instead of always complaining to the Creator that He has not created you in best form or means.

But i learnt alot when i tafakur more with my family and used to cane my kids when they failed in school, but now i only smile and tell them, "praise Allah, you only fail the school report card, not mine nor Allah's. So seek for what actually is Allah's report card for you". And i somehow attain peace at home that way. Not that i m not concerned with their education, but we do it at a different level so to speak.

I told them that your father will not leave u any pusaka (takde harta pun) even if he got, he will just wakaf it. But I leave them lots of nasihat. And they see for themselves how the last 17 years their father struggle from nothing to something and through so many tribulations, and so on, without any worry except what is written in the Ayat seribu dinar that you need taqwa and tawakkal with His ilmu.

May Allah Bless those who chance to read this, and i leave you with many thanks for your time.
