Perjalanan bahan api bukan sekadar gali dan guna. Ia melalui proses panjang, kompleks dan penuh ketelitian sebelum sampai ke pam.
Inilah kisah di sebalik setiap titisan tenaga yang menggerakkan hidup kita.
Kita mudah burnout bila cuba ambik alih kerja Tuhan. Jangan serabutkan diri dengan cuba menyusun takdir. Itu urusan Dia.
Tugas kita cuma jalani sahaja, selesaikan bahagian kita yakni ikhtiar dan ibadah. Yakin Allah akan tolong dan serahkan pada Dia.
Jadilah perempuan yang tenang, bukan yang sibuk membuktikan. Perempuan yang percaya pada dirinya sendiri tanpa perlu validasi siapa pun. Yang tidak haus perhatian, tidak sibuk membandingkan hidupnya dengan orang lain,
A Gen Z joined the team.
Week one.
During onboarding, the manager said,
“We sometimes stay late during peak periods.”
Gen Z nodded.
Then asked,
“Is that paid… or just expected?”
The room went quiet.
- No attitude.
- No rebellion.
- Just a question.
Later that day, HR mentioned “growth opportunities.”
Gen Z replied,
“Does growth include raises, or just more responsibility?”
Again, silence.
- No laziness.
- No entitlement.
- Just clarity.
That’s when the team realized something.
When people say
“Gen Z is lazy,”
what they really mean is:
Gen Z watched old generation
- skip meals,
- miss birthdays,
- work weekends,
- and burn out
only to be told
“budgets are tight”
and “be grateful you have a job.”
So Gen Z chose differently.
- They don’t romanticize overwork.
- They don’t confuse suffering with ambition.
- They don’t trade health for praise.
They still work hard.
They just refuse to work for nothing.
It’s not laziness.
It’s pattern recognition.
And honestly,
after everything old generation went through…
Can you really blame them?
Ya Allah, please take away the laziness that holds me back in my worship, my salah, my efforts, and my dreams. Fill me with drive, discipline, and consistency. Help me reach the best version of myself and unlock the potential You’ve placed within me.
