Don't get caught up in 'looking good'. Work happily together. Don't try to act big. Don't try to get into the good graces of important people, but enjoy the company of ordinary folks. And don't think you know it all. Never pay back evil for evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honest clear through.

Tell people what you want, not how to do it. You will find people more responsive and less defensive if you can give them guidance not instructions. You will also see more initiative, more innovation, and more of an ownership attitude from them develop over time.
i hope all of u will be blessed..read this..

CUKUP menyayat hati apabila melihat satu persatu bala dan ujian Allah SWT turunkan kepada manusia pada hari ini. Daripada bala yang datang secara halus sehingga cara menakut dan mengerikan. Semuanya menyakitkan, menyeksakan kehidupan kita, memedihkan perasaan kita dan memilukan hati nurani kita semua.
Adakah semua bala yang melanda kita hari ini sekadar bencana alam dan masalah kebersihan yang tidak dijaga sehingga bertukar menjadi penyakit atau virus? Hanya orang berfikir, menghayati, insaf dan merenung saja yang akan mendapati jawapan terhadap fenomena ini.
Semua bala dan ujian yang Allah turunkan kepada manusia adalah sebagai dalil bahawa Allah benar-benar berkuasa ke atas makhluknya. Allah juga menurunkan bala supaya manusia berfikir bahawa di alam ini ada kuasa ghaib yang mentadbir, mengurus dan menyelaras keseluruhan proses kejadian alam. Allah menimpakan pada manusia bala dan ujian untuk manusia menyedari bahawa gunung-ganang, teknologi canggih, perkembangan sains, persenjataan hebat, negara bertamadun, pemimpin yang punya kuasa politik besar dan rakyat yang hidup mewah, semuanya akan musnah apabila berhadapan dengan bala dan ujian Allah SWT.
Adakah bala dan ujian Allah datang tanpa dijemput? Pernahkah kita mengangkat kedua-dua tapak tangan ke langit untuk memohon bala dan ujian Allah SWT? Mestilah kita katakan tidak pernah. Hakikatnya, kita menjemput bala Allah tanpa disedari. Kita menyeru bala Allah dengan membanyakkan zina, menyebarkan budaya minum arak, memperkayakan kehidupan dengan mata pencarian haram, meninggalkan arahan Allah, melakukan segala larangan Allah, budaya keseronokan (hiburan) dan pembuangan bayi menyebabkan turunnya bala dan ujian Allah, sedangkan kita tidak menyedarinya.
Sebenarnya kita hanya diberi bala dan ujian yang kecil Allah jika dibandingkan bala Allah kepada Kaum Ad, Thamud, kaum Nuh, kaum Hud dan umat terdahulu sehingga mereka tidak meninggalkan generasi sehingga hari ini.
Firman Allah yang bermaksud, "Dan apa jua yang menimpa kamu dari sesuatu kesusahan (atau bala bencana) maka ia adalah disebabkan oleh apa yang kamu lakukan (perbuatan salah dan berdosa) dan (dalam pada itu) Allah memaafkan sebahagian daripada dosa kamu." (As-Syura: 30)
Sabda Rasulullah SAW: "Tidak menghalang sesuatu kaum itu daripada mengeluarkan harta melainkan mereka menghalang langit daripada menurunkan hujan, kalaulah tidak kerana binatang (di muka bumi) nescaya langit pasti tidak menurunkan hujan selama-lamanya."
Maksud hadis, daripada Ali bin Abi Thalib r.a., Rasullulah s.a.w. bersabda: "Apabila umatku membuat 15 perkara, maka bala pasti akan turun kepada mereka, iaitu:
Maka pada ketika itu hendaklah mereka menanti angin merah atau gempa bumi atau mereka akan diubah menjadi makhluk yang lain. (Hadis Tarmizi)
Set S.M.A.R.T. Goals. Goals you set for yourself, or others, should be Specific, Measurable, Achieveable, Realistic, and Time-based
Let's ponder upon this....
"People throw away what they could have,
By insisting on perfection--which they cannot have,
And looking for it where they will never find it.
"In the Name of Allah Most Gracious, Most Merciful
I'M TOO BUSY Everyday as I wake up at dawn
My mind start working the moment I yawn
There were many things to do, o dear!
That's why I hastily did my Subuh prayer
I didn't have the time to sit longer to praise the
Lord
To me rushing out after prayer is nothing odd...
Since school, I had been busy every minute
Completing my tutorials and handing it in
My ECAs took up most of my time always
No time did I have to Allah to pray
Too many things to do and zikir is rare
For Allah, I really had no time to spare..
When I grew up and started my career
Working all day to secure my future
When I reached home, I prefered to have fun
I chatted on the phone but I didn't read the Quran
I spent too much time surfing the Internet
Sad to say, my faith was falling flat...
The only time I have left is weekends
During which I prefer window shopping with friends
I couldn't spare time to go to the mosque
I'm too busy, that's the BIG EXCUSE...
I did my five prayers but did so quickly
After prayer, I didn't sit longer to reflect quietly
I didn't have time to help the needy ones
I was loaded with work as my precious time runs
No time at all to visit a sick Muslim friend
To orphans and elderly, I hardly lent a hand
I'm too busy to do community service
When there were gatherings, I helped the least
My life was already full of stress
So I didn't counsel a Muslim in distress
I didn't spend much time with my family
B'coz I thought, doing so is a waste of time...
No time to share with non-Muslim about Islam
Even though I know, inviting causes no harm
No time to do Sunnah prayers at all
All these contribute to my imaan's fall..
I'm busy here and busy there
I've no time at all, that's all I care
I went for religious lessons, just once in awhile
Coz I'm too busy making a pile...
I worked all day and I slept all night
Too tired for Tahajjud and it seemed not right
To me, earning a living was already tough
so I only did basic deeds but that's not enough..
No time at all, to admire God's creation
No time to praise Allah and seek His Compassion
Although I know how short is my life
For Islam, I really didn't strive..
Finally the day comes, when the Lord calls for me
And I stood before Him with my Life's History
I feel so guilty b'coz I should have prayed more
Isn't that what a Muslim lives for?
To thank Allah and do more good deeds
And the Quran is for us all to read..
Now at Judgement Day, I'm starting to fret
I've wasted my life but it's too late to regret
My entry to Paradise depend on my good behavior
But I've not done enough nor did proper prayer
My "good deed book" is given from my right
An angel opened my "book" and read out my plight.
Then the angle chided me....
"O You Muslim servant, you are the one,
Who is given enough time, yet not much is done
Do you know that your faith is loose?
saying "no time" is only an excuse.
Your "good deed book" should be filled up more
with all the good work you stood up for..
Hence, I only recorded those little good deeds
As I say this, I know your eyes will mist..
I was about to write some more, you see
But I did not have, THE TIME to list".......

Fix the problem, not the blame. It is far more productive, and less expensive, to figure out what to do to fix a problem that has come up than it is to waste time trying to decide who's fault it was.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself..
