Choice in the Making of a Principle.

"We can never run away from making mistakes, but when the same mistakes are made repeatedly, those aren’t mistakes no more, they’re choices".

Well…I said that.

A choice doesn’t happen by accident, they're made as we need to and only when we need to, although not often with a steady mind.

A mistake doesn’t happen by accident, they're made right after the choices we’ve chosen, with or without a steady mind.

If we all knew what mistakes we are about to do, we will call our self geniuses but even geniuses makes mistakes, remember the names of the World’s Greatest Inventors, and the answers are there, they make mistakes but they learn and improve and develop themselves into better Inventors…this is where the word Principle is born. But since none of us are geniuses, we tend to sometimes create our own storm and complaint when it rains.

When someone illustrates to offer you some advice, the intention is to make you into a better person (well that’s what advice is all about), it’s suppose to always and all the time a good advice, but if you refuse to listen then the choice is still yours, leaving the person whom had offered the advise either sad or mostly would say “well, it’s up to you”.

Firstly, if you managed to overcome your mistakes, then the ones offering you advice earlier on will admire your guts, but as you begin to continue to work on the same formula (the formula which had made you create past mistakes), the ones offering you advice earlier on will soon fade away.

“When you are 80 years old and reflecting on your life, the story that will be most meaningful will be the story of the choices you made. In the end, we are our choices. Make good choices, and build yourself a great story.” 

Jeff Bezos said this and I couldn’t agree more.

Life is hard, life is difficult, and when we thrown into such, situations tend to push us to the wall to make hasty decisions. But life wouldn’t be all the time hard and difficult would it? Coz’ if they are then we’re just not doing enough to change it. Add Up Your Choices and that’s Your Life. Change Your Choices and Change Your Life, so to speak.

During our life, we will make over one million choices. Some are big and most are small. Some we consciously make while others we put on auto pilot. Life is a fork in the road that consists of one choice after another from the time we are born until we pass on. All of these choices shape how our tree of life grows. (I love this part so I copied them from an article called Life is a Fork on the Road).

Women face choices in their lives ever since they’re born. Even in Islam, Women are the ones to be more protected, in sense of their appearance etc, to build a good and modest character in them so to speak, so Women are often being paid more attention.

When they’re born, they grow up and they have to be a good daughter, a good sister, and then later a good wife, a good mother and lastly a good grandmother or great grandmother...you see we haven't any choice; but that doesn’t mean that Men are opened to do whatsoever they wish under the sun, i'ts only the matter of the World and especially Islam had put Men as the Leader, so they have their bit to make choices their own ways in life and I wouldn't for once go against that.

A little scratch in a Woman’s life may cause her eternal unhappiness and eyesore in the Society. So, we Women tend to take every single step we can to ensure no scratches can even try to be in our lives. But tell me who can do that besides the beloved first Wife of our Prophet of Muhammad SAW. 

People expects more from a Woman when it comes to making choices in life, well as the saying goes, the hand that rocks the cradle can shake the World in a blink of an eye, but from my personal point of view, this saying doesn’t mean negativity at all, instead in means that Women are more prone into taking actions the minute she smells danger, the danger that might harm her loved ones.

At times, expectations can be bold, at times a burden to the beholder - from the perspective of common sense to compassion,

from cooperation to courage,
from courtesy to curiosity,
from dedication to effort,
from empathy to flexibility,
from forgiveness to fortitude,
from friendship to honesty,
from humanitarianism to humility,
from initiative to integrity,
from justice to loyalty,
from optimism to patience,
from patriotism to perseverance,
from problem solving to propriety,
from resiliency to respect,
from responsibility to self-discipline and finally
from sincerity to temperance.

Which one are we (both Men and Women)?, and which one would we consider to hold on to and what would that choice of ours make us be who we are today...this again depends on the choices we make.

Some lessons in life did it’s very best to change us, well of course into a better person, but we tend to forget one simple thing - all we needed was a proper tool to make us stay focused on reality of life. It's important to be clear on your priorities in life and not get caught up with endless distractions over our own repeated mistakes. Make your past mistakes as your lessons.

The only real failure in life is not trying, not doing it to make it better and healthier and superior. The only way to keep us worth living life is to first focus and understand on core principle…leave the choices behind to first understand reality, just take a minute to do this and trust me you'll be a better decision maker.

"In this life, we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil. The choices we make, however, determine to a large extent our happiness or our unhappiness, because we have to live with the consequences of our choices".

“No boundary or barrier surrounds the heart of a person that loves their self and others.” 

- Shannon L. Alder

The above…one of many amazing quotes that makes everyone reading it to instantly realize their purpose, target, and aim or objectives in their lives. It’s not of who wrote it, but it’s the message that counts and this is something we ought to try and measure, get right, and understand without consuming sense of hatred against one another.

At this point of time, we...the Rakyat are truly unhappy with the present Political scenario, especially when we are doing our very best in our own vocabulary to try and recover from the sudden wave of Economical hiccup which had instantaneously hiked our costs of living. The costs of every single thing you can name had increased with no sign of decreasing.

Secondly, no matter how good one does to put things back where it belongs, there are and will always be unstoppable criticism that at times we cannot seem to brain at all.

There are no doubts that some of us may be or are actually going thru such a melancholy period in our pockets, but that doesn’t mean that we have to put our lives, our families and loved ones at risk considering recent news covering bombing activities hitting the Nation and Worldwide.

Economy and Safety of the people are both a priority and while the Government policies can sometimes threaten our freedoms, we often make the same mistake in seeing our rights. We speak as we feel what is right to us by not considering what others have to say about their rights in their lives.

There’s a saying that when a Leader performs, He is to be a dependable, an honest and an uncompromising Leader when it comes to protecting the People, the type of Leader that cares for the well being of the People for a simple yet logical fact.

So...we all know and heard the sensational news on I.S attacks threatening the peace and just of our Country and many other Countries (as a matter of fact).

Here I would like to touch on the Malaysian Minister of the Federal Territory 

- Ku Nan.

“Sometimes we enter art to hide within it. It is where we can go to save ourselves, where a third-person voice protects us.” 

- Michael Ondaatje

As I would rightly indicate - Ku Nan is the Leader that had boomed the Tourism Industry during his period as the Tourism Minister and positively placed the Country onto the World Map in Tourism Industry and this is something no one can deny.

Presently as the Minister of the Malaysian Ministry of Federal Territory; just like other Leaders, Ku Nan is bagging responsibilities by the minute. I very much believe that he is doing his very best in making sure the People are well taken cared and their rights well protected.

As we all know, The Malaysian Insider Portal loves to cover sensational stories especially when it comes to our (BN) Leaders as a matter of fact. Some of the news covered in their online Bulletin may be true and fact full but some are simply manipulated and there you go…Ku Nan was the victim yet again.

So...obviously the World of journalism (especially when it comes to the Opposition’s sites) is usually maneuvered from positivism to mostly negativity. We as the Rakyat are majority the Thinking Public and not of that copy pasting or paid Troops in which will allow their principles to be maneuvered by everyone else except themselves.

There was this recent issue on PDRM denying the fact of I.S activities in the Country but the bigger question is why arrest and/or detain individual as suspects of the malicious I.S? It’s flying everywhere in the newspapers ever since and what is important is facts and truth. The People wants the truth and the People had enough of nonsensical explanations…enough of hiding news.

Everything had gone out of context as the PDRM denied the advice given by Ku Nan for the betterment and safety of the People. After studying the facts thru Bulletins and online Media, the truth was - all Ku Nan did was to warn the People of Federal Territory to be more diligent with their surroundings.

Always remember, all Leaders are Citizens, and whether Ku Nan carries his job as the Citizen or a Minister, the means are the same. He worries of the safety of the People and therefore had instructed his Officers to be more observant and cautious; and step up with more presence in the areas recognized as high risk, in which the places to be likely the target as looking at the places they (the irresponsible or be it I.S whosoever) had attacked in Europe, Turkey and very recent our very neighbor Indonesia.

I’m pretty confident all Ministers in all Ministries are working very closely with PDRM, RELA, JPAM and the Ministry of Defense on this subject matter to help protect the People from being harmed.

Simple question – can we the Rakyat take this I.S matter for granted? We are dealing with crazy Individual here whom uses the name of ISLAM to place attacks with no reasons whatsoever…and if at all I.S is an ISLAMIC entity, why kill MUSLIMS and mostly in ISLAMIC Countries? Simple fact anyone can be able to understand right?

As a Minister of his area, Ku Nan is given responsibility and that was what he actually did. A good Leader protects and within his powers will always ensure to keep the People safe.

As the Thinking Public we need to be more attentive on issues of the World; and mind you Malaysia is not left behind when it comes to massive criticism from each and every edge especially when things go wrong; but even when you do it right there will still be unsatisfied mouth uttering hatred and this kind of thinking will ultimately destroy the Country. Take MH370 and MH17 for example…Malaysia was being hit over and over again when one plane was shot down and another missing to date. Speculations covering the Media were massive, unstoppable and unjust…why…is simply because everyone is practicing freedom of speech and rights at the wrong time and in the wrong place.

But I know, and I fully understand, that there are countless of People in this Country who take a different view, who’ve got some real questions as they felt challenged over the situation that is presently surrounding them.

Remember when Ku Nan came about the soup kitchen beggars and homeless in Kuala Lumpur? Many went against him then, but in the end today they said his actions were right and continued seeking him to do something about it. So...isn't it obvious he's getting his job done correctly.

So you see, when one thing is said, another is done, when one thing is done, another is being criticized. So stay positive as it helps maintain a healthy mind.
