Below is a valuable piece of advice presented by Imam Al-Ghazali to his disciple. Insha'Allah we can all benefit from it. Please read on.
My dear son,
If you understand this tradition, there is no need for too much knowledge. Hatim al-Asam was among the friends of Shaqiq al-Balkhi (may Allah have mercy on them both). One day Shaqiq asked Hatim: "You have kept my company for thirty years; what have you gained in the course of these years?" Hatim replied: "I have gained eight benefits from the knowledge which is sufficient for me. I hope my salvation and safety are embodied in them." Shaqiq asked Hatim to mention them. Hatim al-Asam said: "The first benefit is that I observed the creation and saw that everyone had loved one and one passionately desired whom he loved and longed for. Some of the beloved accompany the lover up to the brink of sickness and death and others to the gate of the graveyard. All of them return and leave him there alone. No one goes into the tomb with him. I looked into the matter and said to myself: 'The best beloved is that which would enter the tomb with the lover to console him'; I found it to be nothing else than good works, so I took this as my beloved, to illuminate my grave for me and to comfort me in it and not leave me alone.
"The second benefit is that I saw that the people were following their lusts and hastening towards the desires of the souls; and I meditated on the saying of Allah the Exalted: But as for whoever has feared the majesty of his Lord and has refrained his soul from lust, truly the Garden shall be his dwelling place (Quran, 79:40-41). Convinced that the Quran was true and right, I began to deny my soul [its pleasures] and hurried to combat it and refuse it its passionate desires, until I enjoyed real satisfaction in obedience to Allah the Exalted.
"The third benefit is that I saw that every human being is striving to accumulate as much as he can from the wreckage of this world and then holding on strongly to it. I meditated on the Quranic verse: What is with you must vanish; what is with Allah must endure (Quran, 19:96). So I gave freely my wordly possessions for His sake by distributing them among the poor so that it would be my provision in the future with Him the Exalted.
"The fourth benefit is that some people whom I observed think that their dignity and honour lie in the multitude of their family and large clans. They were fascinated by these things. Others claimed honour and dignity in abundance of wealth and children, and they were proud of it. Some believed honour and power abide in appropriating the wealth of others, doing injustice to them and shedding their blood. Others considered dignity to consist of extravagance and spending wealth in a foolish manner. I meditated upon the saying of the Exalted: The most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you (Quran, 49:13). I chose righteousness for myself, convinced that the Quran is right and true and those claims and opinions of the people are all false and temporal.
"The fifth benefit is that I found people slandering each other and speaking ill of one another out of envy of fortune, power and knowledge. I meditated upon the saying of Allah: It is We who divide their livelihood among them in the life of this world (Quran, 43:32). I realised that the process of dividing livelihood is entirely in the hands of Allah since the beginning of time. Therefore I never envied anyone and was satisfied with the distribution of Allah the Exalted.
"The sixth benefit is that I saw people becoming enemies of each other for difference reasons. I meditated upon the saying of Allah: Verily, Satan is an enemy to you; so treat him as an enemy (Quran, 35:6). I became aware that enmity with anyone except Satan was not permissible.
"The seventh benefit is that I saw everyone working very hard, exhausting themselves to obtain food and sustenance, tempted by doubts and forbidden things. They degraded themselves in humiliation. I pondered over the saying of Allah the Exalted: There is no moving creature on earth but that its sustenance is dependant on Allah (Quran, 11:6). I knew that my livelihood is guaranteed by Allah the Exalted, so I engaged myself in worship and cut off my covetousness of all else, other than Him.
"The eighth benefit is that I saw that everyone relied on some created thing, some on the dinar and dirham, some on wealth and property, some on trade and craft and some on creatures like themselves. I meditated on the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And whosoever places his reliance on Allah, sufficient is [Allah] for him. For Allah will surely accomplish His purpose. Verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion (Quran, 65:3). I therefore placed full trust in Allah the Exalted. He is sufficient for me and He is the best Disposer of affairs."
At this point Shaqiq said: "May Allah bless you and grant you success. I looked into the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Zabur and the Quran and have found that the four books revolve around these eight benefits. Whoever works according to them is working according to these four books."

My new resolution
Emm .. nak tunggu new year lambat lagi .. so I guess I make mid year resolution. I decided that I want to start travel again. REading angels n demons make me remember those moment. I like travel. I'm a lazy person and just know what aroud me. By travelling, at least it make me aware of what happen in other place. I'm not a "people" person so I wont get those experience by mingle with people. I like the challenge of going to alien place. From now, I will start menabung a few bucks a month as my travel fund. Once I see cheap flight I'll book. When i'm back in malaysia, macam ada perasan yg takut nak travel.. not sure why. So i just want to get ride those feeling .. and just go.... My ultimate place ( kalau le mak cik dapat bonus : greece, turki , china, japan)... once my house is ready, i want to spend 50% of my salary on travel. No more new clothes .. new shoe .. or new bags.. ( but its ok.. can buy when u travel :p)...

Be positive.
I was reading a blog by a cancer survival. Maybe this a good Doa for us muslim when we have hard time in our life
http://onebreastbouncing.blogspot.com/
Ya Allah, ampuni aku yang mudah rebah di kaki duka, yang mudah hilang pertimbangan tika jiwa kecewa... ampuni aku yang buta dalam celik buntang mata... ampuni aku... sematkan di jiwa kekuatanMU sebagai gagah kudratku, sebagai perkasa jiwaku, sebagai tinggi yakin imanku...AmiinI
http://onebreastbouncing.blogspot.com/
Aku minta kepada Tuhan setangkai bunga segar, DIA beri kaktus berduri... Aku minta kupu-kupu, DIA beri ulat berbulu... Aku sedih dan berasa kecewa... Namun kemudian, kaktus itu berbunga indah, indah sekali. Dan ulat bulu pun menjadi kupu-kupu cantik berwarna-warni....
Itulah jalan Tuhan, indah pada masa yang ditetapkanNYA. Tuhan tidak memberi apa yang kita harapkan tapi DIA memberi apa yang kita perlukan. Kadang-kadang kita rasa sedih, kecewa dan terluka... Tapi yang sebenarnya, DIA sedang mengatur yang TERBAIK dalam kehidupan kita...
Love do not required return
semlm tgk cete cine andy lau ngn shu qi berlakon.. ok le. tapi ada satu scene yg menarik hati. Ada le mamat sorang ni (jobless) n suke kat minah yg bercareer. So dia join a reality show utk express love dia. dalam show tu, dia cakap, x kisah le kalau pompuan tu reject dia etc, but the important thing is he want to let her know that someone really love her and love do not required any return. But .... aku rasa in real life benda tu susah nak dapat. People always love ( x kisah le as a lover or friend or family) someone when the other party show back the love or appreciate the love. If not the love will not growth. Maybe ada exceptional cases le .. but so far that I observed. In movie is different cases. x tau le movie cam tu sebab some people belief in it or it just a fairy tale. Or maybe .. people nowadays became selfish that u didnt see that kind of love even in family.
For example if some one in love when suami orang and willing to be a second wife. But the first wife x kasik. So a lot of people will still kawin but willing to sacrifice by became isteri gelap ( unknown wife).. tapi bile pikir2 .. by marrying that guy, we will add more trouble to him... and why we still need to became his wife when he has a price to pay. That price is not sikit. Impact his life with his family, son .. and he became a liar.. But still people want something out of their love...

counselling...
I wonder what the best thing to overcome sadness...
1. Should you keep on thinking why you cannot sad. How this sadness is necessary for you to find happiness .. or how this sadness is nothing compare to sadness if you choose other decision
2. Should you try to avoid other people and let yourself cry until u tired?
3. Should you join your other friend partying so you forget the sadness ..
4. Should you make sure you have company all the time so you dont think abt your sadness but end up you tired of try to show a happy face?
5. Should you just hope there will be miracle tommorow?
6. Should you listen to your favorite song or verses so you thinking abt it instead of your sadness
7. Should you go shopping until you broke?
8. Should you eat ice cream or all the sweet2 thing until u get diabetes?
9. Should you go to movie alone and cry all out when the story not even a sad movie LoL..
10. Should you book a flight tix for vacation
11. SHould you work till night until you dont have time to think ... until the sadness is over?
mengantukkkk....
