Alhamdulillah,now we have already passed half phase of Ramadhan.
After a bit while at Malaysia *precisely almost three months* I can say that I've learnt several things, things that I always take for granted before.
I always look at others and compared myself to them.For example,I look at A and think,'wow,she's so lucky!She's rich,beautiful and clever too!She wears better clothes than me,use more up-to-date handphone than what I'm currently using and she clearly has many friends and well-liked by others compared to me.Easy say,she's famous while me being the usual me,is usually shy,quiet and seems arrogant to others.She's beautiful unlike me who have acne and have sawo matang skin'
So yeah,when I compared myself to such person,I will feel like I'm such a loser.I feel like life is sometimes unfair to someone like me.How come there is person who have EVERYTHING and someone like me who doesn't have much?
But actually,after a while and after spending a lot of times with my family,I feel completely hundred percents GRATEFUL!Why shouldn't I be?I have a wonderful parents,who accept me the way I am and never judge me and always support me.I have fantastic siblings.And even though I dont have that many friends because I'm not popular,what I have is more than enough.At least,I have a true friend.So what if I'm not rich?I'm not poor either.I get new clothes for Raya.I can afford to buy new shoes,bags and essentials.Who cares if my handphone is not the latest model?At least I have one that can function properly.
If you want to be grateful ,you really need to STOP COMPARING yourself with other people who have more than what you have.You need to compare with people who have less.Only then you will realise how lucky you are to have all that you've already have.Sometimes,you took all of these for granted and only realize it only after you'd lose it.
That doesnt meant that you should stop trying to improve yourself.It's okay if you want to get a good job with good salary if that means that you want to change your life to a better one.Bt you need to appreciate what you have now because that are actually the 'things' that made who you are right now.
Huh,such a long writing.I need to take a breath.I just want to share this,hoping that it will open our eyes :)
Ramadhan kareem and wassalam...
