Hold Your Grip!

I had a tough day, yesterday. No worries, nothing serious. Just something that made me had a thought. Actually, I had been advised to withdraw the paper that I've submitted to one of the events. Reason ? – I was stunned to know the truth.

pasal apa pulak ni brader? meh aku pelangkung org tu

Well – just let me make it simple. Where ever we may roam, there are unwritten laws that we should follow. Probably, without knowing it, we did indeed accidentally across those invisible lines. When knowing the whole reality and everything, I should do this – constant vigilance. Sometimes, progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. It might harm others, and probably might cause a collateral unhealthy competition within. yup, just to know the flow, and play with it. It would rather being an idiot for me too blindly against it. We have been taught to stand steadily and against all the odds. But, personally, we need to know in what position, and how firm it is – and then such action can be put into practice.

(Rileks bro, i yg selalu kena gossip, okay je ..... )

Again, we will not be able to shun their prides (or whatever it is), it is utterly impossible, avoiding criticism seems like we have to do nothing, to say nothing, to be nothing. But, we can be like the cat that got the cream. As for sure, I do not want to stir any hiccups. Just we need to read between the lines about the meaning of everything. Turn over a new leaf, and we can choose not to be anguished. Being defeated in a way? Nopss, it has nothing to do with such feeling like being defeated, but I take it as education; nothing but the first step to something better. Like my supervisor has told me “throughout life, we will learn, if not we will die.” And in many ways, I need to confine my sense of self wisely, like my mother always advice me “ular menyusur akar takkan hilang bisanya” . no harm to be humble and patience, but you have to know how to play the game – and do not be stupid, by allowing rage to take over your sanity.


“At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross.”
Meredith Grey, Grey’s Anatomy.

Today ? – I feel better – much better as a matter of fact. Time will tell, sometimes silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute. But again, piss off ?, it was a bit, but i can choose not to piss off! …. Indeed I choose not to piss off. I’ve learnt another good lesson, a worth one. God knows what is the best for His servant.


today's proverb:
like the cat that got the cream
: To be pleased with his/her ability or what he/she has done.

Salam,

don't be sad, remember setiap yg berlaku ada hikmahnya...bersyukur dgn setiap apa yg berlaku.
Dugaan akan dtg bila2 masa aje sama ada kita bersedia atau tidak....so dont let only the cat got the cream, join them or take them to have some cheese cake.
(kat GF office za nie ada secret recipe, selalu amik bau aje....x larat nak makan kat situ aje).

[pinky] ..ngeh ngeh, okay je politik ni .., rasa mcm dlm filem pulak. heh..hehh....

[danial][ma] said...

hej! Azizi...it's a challenge in life or yours an academic life. Yeah, life full of invisible lines and the dangerous one is the infrared line and once you acrossed it accidentally and intentionally, it will trigger the alarm and tadaa...you are caught red handed...but it won't be fun without the challenge. I believe that what you have been through will make you stronger and wiser and tough...we learn through errors. You are strong enough to deal with this situation if not you won't be the where you are right now...stay cool.

azizi said...

[danial] ~ merci merci. yup, i guess it just another silly stuff that spice up life. no worries, i'm okay with it. at least, i've learnt something. :-)

忍一时,风平浪静。退一步,海阔天空。
Be patient, and the sea will stay calm.
Step back, and our world is as broad as the ocean and the sky.
