Don’t judge a person by its cover

Yesterday, a friend of mine invited me and my friend to her brother’s place. Her brother house look old and poor. Its located at the beside of the road and fill with a farm plantation, like dragon fruit trees, bananas and a pond.

That friend of mine introduced us to her brother. An old man around age 60 to 70. He look healthy. And then something struck me.

It occurred after I saw his wife, having long ear due to culture and then he said once they went to Australia, and people there do not find it weird to see his wife ear, only Malaysians did. (I ashamed of myself, because I did find it amazing and weird), then he proceed again that he ahs went to Japan, Cambridge University and many parts of the world. Oh my, he has went to so many places in the world, and yet he so humble and don’t bragging about it.

Even though he can have the luxury of life, still he chose to live and work on his own with his beloved wife. He said he not used to not working

Got it from a website, and share it here. These are quotations from famous people about hard work and perseverance and of course the right mind set.

2012

My 2012 has been a great year to me, and for that I am really thankful to Allah. There has been ups and downs and each one of it has been very meaningful to me. I started 2012 with a new place of work. The task become easier compare to the last my place of work. Less demanding and less pressure. But well, each place has it own problems. I encounter mine. But I take it lightly because it is not the problem that can caused me to feel angry. Instead the problem has shown me that I actually have issue with people. Then,turn out what I have to do is to just smile, ignore and do what I think is right. Do not bother what people think, as long as I do my work passionly and I try to be friend with them. Then, I discovered things about me. Like actually, I am not that very patient person. I will get what I want. It just, do not test my patience.
