Building an interesting life is worth the effort. Develop your skills. Take your career seriously. Learn to manage money. Travel when you can. Maintain friendships. Try things that scare you. An interesting life rarely arrives on its own. Give yourself more possibilities.
People respect you more when they don't see you often. Even parents. Trust me. It's strange how distance rearranges love, how absence restores what closeness erodes. When people are deprived of your presence, they start seeing you clearly again, not through habit but through awareness. Proximity dulls perception. Space sharpens it. That's just how the human mind works.
Learn to have a loose grip on the world, on people, on possessions. Everything is temporary. And maybe that’s exactly what makes being here so precious. Hold gratitude tightly, but everything else gently. Enjoy the chapter without demanding that it become the entire book.
People will constantly attack you in life. One of their main weapons will be to instill in you doubts about yourself – your worth, your abilities, your potential. They will often disguise this as their objective opinion, but invariably it has a political purpose – they want to keep you down.
Closing khutbah Jumat hari ini :
"Menanglah dalam diam, bahagia pun dalam diam. Perbaiki diri tanpa diumbar, karena orang tidak bisa merusak apa yang mereka tidak ketahui"
