something to ponder...

Yesterday the whole team from my division had a special luncheon talk with Ustaz Ahmad Dusuki. It’s been ages since the last time i attended to any religious/motivational talk, as such yesterday’s sharing session truly opens up my mind, boost my spirit, where i believe emotions play a big role in controlling yourselves. Amongst things that was been emphasized by the ustaz:

1. Kita kerja kerana Allah, bukan kerana dipaksa, bukan kerana keperluan mencari harta, bukan kerana disuruh oleh suami, etc. Kerja adalah suatu ibadah, maka segala cabaran dan halangan yg dihadapi dlm melakukan kerja kita, insya allah ada ganjaran yg menanti di kemudian hari.

2. Bila kita stress dalam kerja, maka kembalilah kepada Allah. Dalam course stress management, mesti ada macam2 cara yg diajar untuk kita menghilangkan stress. Tapi on top of that, we’ve got to go back to our roots, i.e. Yg Esa. If before this chocolates would be my top-of-the-list stress reliever, i should now practice more on berzikir, berdoa, bersolat dan mengadu kepada-Nya....

3. Jangan jadi hamba kepada kerja. Habis waktu kerja, baliklah ke pangkuan keluarga, buatlah perkara lain yg masih menjadi tanggungjawab kita...i.e. sebagai suami/isteri/ibu, etc. Jangan kerja sehingga kita mengabaikan nikmat kesihatan, sampai kita terlupa perkara2 lain yg masih penting, seperti ibadah, tanggungjawab mendidik anak, menjaga suami, etc. ---- i truly like this one, as such i’m not shame to admit that i’m one of those yg very punctual bab balik awal! I still remember an-ex bos once said this to us.....if you die, the company can easily find someone to replace you, but if your loved ones die, can you get somebody to replace his/her? Something to ponder ok....:)
