Choosing Friends

This is another interesting lesson in life I found while surfing the net quite a long time ago- the author is unknown- but surely someone wise!

Life is a theater. Invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationship/friendship.

Observe the relationship around you. Pay attention. Which ones lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama, or don’t really understand, know or appreciate you? The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.

You cannot change the people around you but you can change the people you are around.

Note:
Personally, I hate to admit this,(- there are people who are born with the ability to really criticize and find fault-) this group of people sometimes or most of the time, makes you think again, and reflect…… a good way to check ourselves….
But I am not saying they are always right!!! And to choose them as friends requires strength and endurance…..heart of steel!

  1. insan tu pelbagai...mcm2 kerenah...lain padang lain belalang...ada belalang yg kejenya komplen aje...asal dia tak kacao saya...udahlah.ada plak belalang yg tikam belakang...walau dia tak buat kita,bila kita tahu dia buat org...ishhhh tak tedetik gerun kat hati kita? ada plak belalang yg melawan je...semua organisasi sediakan...semua dia nak canggah...heheheh...biarkan je...asalkan dia tak kacao kita...ada yg suka gosip...ermmmm....kain sendiri tak terjaga...ni plak nak jaga kain org...

    saya paling suka kawan2 yg menghalakan sy ke jalan yg baik...dah umur gini...harta berkepuk nak bawa kemana pun...baik saya hambakan diri,abdikan diri pada mak ayah yg entah bila nak tinggalkan kita...ataw entah2 kita plak tinggalkan dia sblum smpat berbakti....

    dah 2 minggu ayah saya takleh bawak kereta...jatuh.saya berulang alik dari umah ke umah mak(dalam 10 km je tapi asgmt kan banyak...huhuhuhu)mak pun demam jugak...saya pun demam jugak....huhuhuhu...panas-2 badan pun saya redah jugak sebab memikir Allah nak bagi pahala jaga mak ayah ....

    selalunya saya tido kol 3 pagi menyiapkan asgmt and proposal research method...dalam geng kami ni berempat...selalu kita ketawa sendiri..."nikmatnya buat phd...lazat sungguh..." sebabnya tak sapa paksa kita lanjutkan pelajaran tinggi2 pun...nak kata carik penyakit takleh la...sebab nabi sendiri anjurkan tuntut ilmu sampai China...

    tapi kan kak...makin banyak kita belajar, makin kerdil rasa diri ni...uishhhh banyak rupanya benda yg aku tak tahu...selalu tedetik kat kepala kita kan kak?...
    saya ingat...saya takkan berenti blaja walao dah dapat gulungan ijazah yg ketiga ni...heheheh...insyaallah nak blaja bahasa plak...bahasa sepanyol memang minat sgt lah...mana taw ada rezeki nak keje luar negara...impian,harapan,cita-cita...Amin
