"7%" Written by a 90 year old

This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!! Make sure you read to the end!!!!!!

Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio .

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short – enjoy it.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye, but don't worry, God never blinks.

16.. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

19.. It's never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative of dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you need

42. The best is yet to come...

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

Saham akhirat

Lamanya tak update blog. Alasan yang sama dan rata-rata semua orang mempunyai alasan tersebut. SIBUK...menyibuk dan disibukkan. Hari ini meluangkan sedikit masa untuk update cerita. Cerita ke? Hurmm...yela kot. Ni nak cerita tentang D'Garage Community yang terdiri daripada beberapa orang individu membuat kerja-kerja kebajikan secara kecil-kecilan. Kenapa di panggil secara kecil-kecilan kerana ia dibuat secara part time sahaja. Sebab semuanya bekerja dan mempunyai komitmen yang tersendiri. Walau secara kecil tetapi diharap usaha ini dapat meringkan sedikit beban golongan yang memerlukan. 

Projek yang seterusnya adalah mendapatkan sumbangan aidilfitri untuk rumah orang-orang tua.  Anda semua boleh lihat gambar yang dilampirkan di sini.  Sumbangan berupa kain batik dan kain pelekat.  Setakat ini sumbangan untuk kain batik sudah mencukupi. Cuma sumbangan untuk kain pelekat masih dijalankan.  Harap-harap dapat mengumpulkan sumbangan sebelum raya ni. Moga Allah permudahkan.

Ada sesiapa yang berminat nak menyumbang? Nak buat saham akhirat?

  Thoughtful is Helpful

Assalamaualaikum.

Malam ini ada rasa kerajinan bertandang untuk mencoret sesuatu.  Kesibukan dunia ini kadang-kadang benar-benar memenatkan. Kemungkinan besar faktor umur yang semakin meningkat, maka keletihan mudah terasa.  Hehe...agak janggal untuk menulis.  Otak dah semakin membeku. Apa sekalipun kami baru balik dari Pulau Pinang.  Membawa pelajar di bawah PSS ke sana. Seronok dapat berkunjung ke Pulau Mutiara itu.  Namun yang tidak seronoknya makanan di Padang Kota benar-benar 'mencekik'.  Bayangkan makan pasembur dengan harga RM49.00.  Jadi sesiapa yang teringin makan di sana di harap berhati-hati.  Tanya dulu harganya atau jadi macam anak murid saya yang bijak kerana mereka minta pasembur dengan harga RM10.00 sahaja.

Selamat Pengantin Baru

Selamat Pengantin baru Ana, semoga rumahtangga diberkati dan dirahmati Allah selalu.

Catatan waktu senja

Niat di hati mahu mengemas meja study yang berada di tepi tingkap ini.  dari tingkap ini kedengar kicauan burung, entah burung apa tak pasti la pulak. Dah macam jadi satu muzik alam pulak bila burung-burung ni berkicau.  Membelek buku dan contengan-contengan membuatkan aku tersenyum.  Contengan dan catatan ketika aku sibuk menyiapkan projek penyelidikan. Terlihat catatan skor ujian pra dan pos, senarai nama pelajar, senarai rujukan, catatan-catatan dari buku-buku, bahan internet.  Semuanya mengembalikan nostalgia.  Terasa hilang segala penat, stress bila segalanya telah selesai.  Malah rasa macam kekok pulak bila aku tidak bergelumang dengan assingment dan bacaan. Yelah...kalau orang lain semua mempunyai kepakaran masing-masing; kawan aku Zu memang teror sangat membuat kek, sebut la segala macam kek memang pasti tidak akan mengecewakan. Ada juga yang pandai business; menternak lembu la, buat kraf tangan la, menjahit la dan macam-macam lagi. AKU...hehe..aku pakar makan jer. Aku tak pandai masak. Masak yang simple boleh la, sup, tumis-tumis kalau lebih-lebih alamat berlagu la aku di sebelah dapur tu. Menjahit lagi la. Pernah belajar menjahit langsir tapi huhu..can not go la. sampai sekarang en suami asyik perli je , sakan bayar yuran menjahit yang berjahit hanya alas meja makan untuk 4 orang jer. Pernah sakan membeli cross stich bila tengok rumah kawan aku penuh dengan cross stich yang cantik-cantik, tapi pun sama. Sampai sekarang tersadai dalam kotak.

Yang aku teror sangat membaca novel jer dan buku-buku la ya.  Selain itu aku suka belajar walaupun aku bukanlah kategori orang yang bijak pun, setakat cukup-cukup makan.  Tapi nak kata suka belajar tu pun bukan semua perkara la, yang pasti aku suka sangat suasana universiti, suka dengan perpustakaan, suka tengok dewan kuliah, suka tengok leturer walaupun tot......(tak boleh cakap , simpan dalam lipatan hati jer).  Mai ai dah mengarut la. Magrib dah nak masuk. Senja-senja macam ni kalau melayan perasaan memang la jadi melankolik apatah lagi bila en suami dah 4 hari berkursus....hehe.....

Hurmm...macam gini la hidup kan. Masing-masing ada kelebihan dan kekurangan. Hidup kita ni saling melengkapi sebab itu kita jangan sewenang-wenangnya membenci kelemahan orang lain.  Ok stop dulu, selamat menunaikan solat magrib. Semoga negara kita aman sentiasa.

apa-apa sahaja

Masih tercari-cari masa untuk menconteng-conteng di sini. Tapi seperti biasa ku tidak bisa mencari masa itu. Walaupun tiada apa yang mahu disibukkan lagi.  Tapi masa tetap mencemburui aku. Apa pun hari ini aku dah menghabiskan masa melihat filem romantik ini dan memang suka sangat soundtrack dalam filem ini. Nak berceloteh banyak tentang filem ini tapinya mata ini sudah meliuk lentok mahu pejam. Semoga anda di luar sana yang patah hati, sakit hati, kecewa hati dan apa sahaja la berdoa banyak-banyak semoga Allah melimpahkan rahmat dan kebahagiaan.
