the road not taken....

salam,
hi..pernah dengar tak cerita yang saya petik dalm satu buku ni, Life is an open secret by Zabrina Abu Bakar ni..camni:
babak 1:
semasa saya berjalan saya telah jatuh ke dalam 1 lubang yang dalam. saya tak dapat keluar selamanya.bukan salah saya.
babak 2:
kat jalan yang sama.. saya telah terjatuh lagi. tapi kali ia mengambil masa yang lama untuk saya keluar.salah saya
babak 3:
jalan yang sama.saya jatuh lagi..dah jadi satu kebiasaan pada saya dan ia memang salah saya.saya terus keluar cepat2.
babak 4:
jalan yang sama dan lubang yang sama...saya jalan tepi lubang tu.tak jatuh dah.
babak 5:
dah tau jalan tu ada lubang..so, saya amik jalan lain.
lastly, dia berjaya berfikir dengan waras dan mengambil jalan lain sebab jalan tu memang tak selamat. macamana dengan kita? setiap hari kita menghadapi situasi yang sama dan kita tetap tidak mengambil peluang untuk mengubahnya... ambil contoh as solat la..hari ini terbangun lewat dan kelas mula pukul 8 pagi.. kita pun tergesa2 untuk mandi dan bersiap untuk k kelas...tup2 lupa nak solat subuh..tak pe la..boleh qada' nanti..waktu zohor lak..penat tul balik kelas..tido lah jap..alih2 dah pukul 4..ada masa lagi untuk solat..takpe..leh solat asar terus t..erm..awal lak aku solat asar ek..waktu maghrib lak nak masuk isyak ..begitu k kita hari2?Nauzubillah...pernah gak muhasabah diri..tapi bila hari bermula the same thing will happen..bila kita nak cuba amik jalan yang berbeza cam dalam cita tadi?
cuba tengok perumpaan ni: kita umpama musafir yang sesat di dalam sebuah hutan yang tebal.. tapi di kiri kanan jalan ada gerai yang banyak menjual peta (hutan zaman moden;-))..sekarang tinggal kita nak beli k tak je...x de duit?kaunter pertanyaan pun ada...
seperti termaktub dalam alquran, "...Allah sesekali tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum sehingga kaum tersebut mengubah apa yang ada pada diri mereka sendiri..." (surah al-anfaal 8:53)
so, apa pilihan kita? selamanya sesat, berada dalam lubang tanpa ikhtiar untuk keluar or take another direction and ask for the right direction?semuanya di tangan kita..we have the choice..
pernah baca poem ni tak it is by robert frost..The Road not Taken.:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

memang susah untuk berubah.lebih lebih lagi orang sekeliling kita tak menyokong dan bila kita berubah, kita mungkin di pandang pelik oleh orang sekeliling.. tapi tidak salah mencuba jika ia sesuatu yang berguna...but..changes will definately takes time...cam lam poem kat atas..jalan yang tak pernah orang lalu memang la banyak semak dan kita perlu menebas untuk lalu...and it really takes time..but, it worth trying..kerana, selagi kita tetap berada di landasan yang lurus,Allah pasti menolong kita..erm nak kongsi satu lagu best by Native Deen:



ni lyric dia:
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high

Single mother raising her children
And Now she's a Muslim
Started praying and wearing a headscarf
It Was a healing for her heart

Struggling with no one to lean on
But with prayer she would be strong
Had a job but then she was laid off
Got a better education and it paid off

She was called for a job that she dreamed of
Close by, great pay -she was in love --
They brought her in -- told her shes the 1 pick
You got the job, but you gotta lose the outfit"

It's a tough position that you put me in
Cause look at my condition, and my two children
But I'll continue looking for a job again
Cause my faith and my religion I will never bend

I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high

Peer pressure, they were insisting
And I was resisting
Some days.... I felt I would give in
Just wanted to fit in

I know.....when I'm praying and fasting'
They be teasing and laughing
So I called to my Lord for the power
For the strength every day, every hour...

one day there's a new Muslim teacher
Single mom and the people respect her
Just seeing.... her strength I get stronger
They can break my will no longer

You don't see me sweatin' when they're jokes cracking
Never see me cussing' with my pants saggin'
I aint never running Yo Im still standing,
sorry I aint jumping on your band wagon, cause...

I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high

Now, I'm a tough one, who can bear their blows
The rest play dumb, they don't dare say no
Scared of being shunned, but its clear they know
I aint never gonna run, I aint scared no more....

Man, these sisters be resolute
Never stressed when the rest say they wasn't cute
And the get the respect of the other youth
Come best with the dress yo and thats the truth

These sisters are strong gonna hand it down
So me Im a brotha gotta stand my ground
No fear, Im tough Im the man in town
Peer pressure no more, its my planet now

Others may fall, but Im hold my own
With Allahs help I'll be strong as stone
And I'll be the one to let Al Islam be shown
Cause I am not afraid yo to stand alone.

ok,guys..dont ever afraid if u're alone coz ALLAH is always with you..belive me
