Greetings and Assalamualaikum to all.

A New Chapter A New Beginning. Assalamualaikum and Welcome 2017. Chapter 1 Page 1 an entry of self reminder and reflection. Have you list down the goals and planning for this new start of the year 2017? Perhaps the list will continuously goes down along the journey. And wishing that it can smoothly be fulfill along the year. May Allah ease everything. May Allah bless us all. 

A new chapter could be something for someone this new year. You are just got married. Becoming parents. Got a newborn cute baby. Becoming grandma and grandpa. Have a new job. It is all about responsibility. What can I say is, just enjoy the moment. No need to stress out. And keep walking coz the time is ticking. Always. Facing a new tough year? What can we do? Let's check out some tips to become a successful person. 

Forgive and forget. The journey to the new beginning supposed to be start with a pure heart (what a word ). Right. It is a blessing to have the courage. The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. The first to forget is the happiest. Do you agree that the heart always influence the action. For me it is a yes. Try to apologize. Try to forgive. And try to forget. You will find a different vibrations in your life. Move on and leave behind the unnecessary things. And try to forgive yourself. Love yourself more so that you can give your love to others. What was done is done. Reflect your wrong doing and take that as a lesson from the events. 

It is now or never. Take action. Let bygone be bygone because things that happened can't be undone. "WAKTU seperti sungai, kita tidak boleh menyentuh air yang sama untuk kedua kalinya, kerana air yang telah mengalir akan terus berlalu dan tidak akan pernah KEMBALI". So, it is now or never. Action. Action. Action. To be a successful person, we need to take an action. Just sit down and do nothing, it is zero. Don't dream big for the do-nothing effort. It is not to late. It is new year gaiys! Start now, from right this second.

Never stop learning. Jangan berhenti belajar. Learning is a matter of gaining knowledge and experience. Learn from anyone, everyone, anything and everything. Please don't judge the teacher. And never ever look down on others. As for example, in a company, orang di bawah kita pun banyak ilmu yang kita boleh ambil. Sama-sama belajar. Apabila kita berasa sudah cukup pandai, ketika itu kita menempah kegagalan. World largest problem, when the genius is full of doubt and the stupid is full of confidence.

Focus. This is the important point to becoming a successful person. Focus on what you are doing right now. Focus on your goal. Don't waste your time by thinking nonsense and unimportant things that can distract your aim and dream. This is not the time to criticise and scanning others mistakes. Orang lain salah belum tentu kita betul. Tips dia mudah, jaga tepi kain sendiri sudah. 

Don't depend too much on people. Usah terlalu mengharap orang lain untuk tolong kita. It is good to depend on our abilities. Berdiri atas kaki sendiri. Sebagai contoh, seorang usahawan. Kita usahawan, buat sendiri. Usahawan usah ada minda peminta sedekah. (Baca dengan nada lembut ya).  Don't depend too much on anyone in this world. Even your shadow leaves you when you're in darkness.

Stop blaming others. Berhenti salahkan orang lain. Orang berjaya berikan hasil, orang gagal berikan alasan. Antara sifat orang berjaya ialah mereka push diri mereka hingga ke tahap yang mereka sendiri tidak sampai untuk capai perkara yang mereka tidak pernah capai. 

Try to avoid from frustration. Elakkan mudah rasa kecewa dan putus semangat. Dalam kehidupan kita ni, ada masa naik, ada masa turun. Selagi nama kehidupan, kita tak akan lari dari masalah. Bawa bertenang. Chill. Enjoy the moment and try as much as you can to solve the problem. Ada orang gunakan istilah cabaran. Apa pun, usah fokus kepada masalah. Cari penyelesaian. Di penghujung terowong yang gelap, pasti ada cahaya.  Don't think too much, you will create a problem that wasn't there in the first place. 

Ignore cakap-cakap belakang negatif. Sekiranya setiap kali anjing menyalak kita berhenti untuk baling batu, maka lambatlah sampai ke destinasi. Biarkanlah suara sumbang memperlekeh apa yang kita lakukan. Kita jalan terus. Buktikan dia salah bukan dengan cakap-cakap, tetapi dengan menunjukkan hasil kejayaan. Boleh macam tu. Hehe. 

Welcome 2017. May wishes come true. Whatever we faced in 2016, may it make us stronger and better. May we all become a delightful and strong dandelion InsyaAllah. Walau apa pun urusan kita (kerja, rezeki, keselamatan, jodoh etc) termasuklah akhir kehidupan kita, semuanya, pada akhirnya kita bergantung kepada Allah swt. Kita merujuk kepada Dia. Kembali kepada Dia dalam setiap perkara.

May Allah bless. May Allah ease everything. Thank you for reading love. 
