This morning I wake up too early. Yes I am reading Zabrina A. Bakar book before going to sleep. That only chapter 2. The story how she was determined to wake up in the morning to do some "solat hajat" and some others..@ Qiamulaill. and I wish to the same before my eye close. Then about three in the morning I am awake freshly. I just cant keep close my eyes back. I dont really know how can I awake this early?? meaning I just sleep around two hours.Yeah maybe it is true someone confidently and loudly chat with her friend and make me awake. But then I realized I am the one who ask from the Lord to wake early so I can experience myself as Zabrina describe the morning that started with this early hour and He allows me to wake this morning. Yeah it feels great as she describe, and I continuing reading her book now, Chapter 3. So, meaningful to be share just like my condition now. Let read this story and think together...
The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the water close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So, to feed the Japanese population, fishing boat became bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fisherman went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. There is a problem here. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish would not be fresh. And the Japanese do not like taste of a not so fresh fish. To solve this problem, fishing companies decide to install freezers on their boats. Fisherman would catch the fish and freeze them at the sea. Freezer allowed the boats to go farther and stayed longer. They thought this would solve the problem. But they were wrong. The Japanese could actually taste the difference between fresh and frozen, and of course they did not like the taste of frozen fish. This resulted in the frozen fish being sold at a lower price. So fishing companies tried again. This time they installed fish tanks. The idea was this- they would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks alive, fin-to-fin. After a little trashing around,the fish would stop moving. They were tired and dull, but the good news is that they were still alive. And yet the resulted was the Japanese still taste the difference. Since the fish did not move for days, they had lost their fresh fish taste. The Japanese preferred the taste of lively fresh fish, not sluggish fish. Interesting right?? That is they had brilliant idea. To keep the fish tasting fresh all the time, the Japanese fishing companies still put live fish into the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank! The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state, because they now have to swim actively to avoid being eaten by the shark. The fish are challenged. Subhan ALLAH..
She said, the adversities that we face in our lives are actually our little sharks- sharks that we need to make sure we stay awake, alive, vibrant and active. These sharks make us more intelligent, persistent and competent in our lives. But if we begin to slack off in our duties, growing tired and dreary, what do you think will happen? yes, we would be one of the fish eaten by the sharks! she is smiling and thank to ALLAH when she think of her little shark.. and I am.. she cope well with her little shark and that what I want too and she said if I am not cope that well with my little shark then I should get some vitamins to get the stamina. Where can I find the vitamins?? In the Holy Qur'an. Open this treasure revealed to us by ALLAH through His Messenger and started with Bismillah hi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahim.( In the name of ALLAH, the Compassionate, the Merciful) . And at the end, I hope I will be able to greet my little sharks with a big, grinning smile and wide, open arms. And these little sharks that will keep my life fresh...Subhan ALLAH.. I am suppose to read komunikasi or marketing in this morning for my final exam tomorrow but I am typing this story and yet I still it worth to share with others.. keep thinking my frens... "Ketika satu pintu kebahagiaan tertutup, pintu yang lain dibukakan.Tetapi sering kali kita terpaku terlalu lama pada pintu yang tertutup sehingga tidak melihat pintu lain yang dibukakan bagi kita."
