misc

We all have different ways to give advice to people (to change their behavior or perspective), some tend to critique on a person's weakness, some just shoots the arrow right in other's heart whilst some talk nicely and try to influence them with our opinion. Sometimes, when we don't put ourselves in other people's shoes, as the person giving the advice we tend to lose the whole meaning of trying to advice the person in the first place; which was helping them to improve themselves and not showing off how wise we are or making them think we are "good enough" to even give them advice.

It seems a bit harsh and hits me right deep to the core, many may deny it (if you do, you are in denial) or maybe you really are sincere to help others and that's good, but many are still caught up with themselves.

The purpose of me posting this post is actually to remind myself and might as well my readers, I want to improve myself better and you too shall follow my journey to become a better person. Hehe let's do this together!

There are no doubt that there are many ways to advice people but to me personally is by a soft- approach.

Here are two examples of a soft-approach that maybe you can relate on both real-life events or situation.

Situation 1: Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

A Bedouin entered Madinah, and went directly to the Masjid, so that he may get some money or gold from Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). When he arrived, he saw Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) sitting among his companions (Sahabah). He asked his need. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) gave him something. Bedouin was not content, and moreover he used harsh and inappropriate language against Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The companions became very angry, and were ready to hurt him. But Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) prevented them from haste.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) took the Bedouin to his home, and gave him some more. The Bedouin saw that the residence of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) wasn't like those of the heads of governments, and there is no luxury in his home.

The Bedouin became content with the share, and thanked Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). At this time, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) asked him: "You said a harsh word yesterday, which caused anger in my companions. I fear that they will hurt you. Would you be willing to show your appreciation in front of them, so that their anger be resolved, and they don't hurt you?" The Bedouin said: "Sure."

The next day, the Bedouin came to the Masjid. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) addressed his companions: "This man says, he is content with his share, is it true?" The Bedouin said: "That is true." Then he repeated the appreciation that he had shared with Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the companions smiled.

Situation 2: Charles Schwab

One day at a noontime, Schwab was walking through one of his steel mills when he came across a group of men smoking directly under a sign that said No Smoking. Instead of pointing out at the sign and "Can't you read?', he chatted with the men in a friendly way and never said a word about the fact that they were smoking under the No Smoking sign.

Finally he handed them some cigars and said with a twinkle in his eye, "I'd appreciate it, boys, if you'd smoke these outside"

That is all he said. Those men knew that he knew that they had broken a rule, and they admired him because he hadn't called them down.

Both of the situation consists of great leaders and the way they advices to their people, not a single harm word and hurtful comments given. So, I guess that conclude's today's post and I know you'd understand what I meant by just reading the examples given.

Peace upon be you, xoxo, Adios!

You must be wondering, why such a random and sudden post, right? I'll explain it all on my next entry! Wait for it.....

Do ignore my messy unorganized tabs. I'm compromising myself to either get a phone or not. Oh, while we're on that, let's talk about phones for a while, shall we? Yes, we shall. Yes, I just answered myself. ~~*pretend that never happened*~~

So, the thing is, my current phone which is Samsung Galaxy S4 (click on the text to view what it looks like and the specs). So as you would know, S4 was released a few years back, those were the days where I was obsessed with it. I've always wanted S4. A lot of people told me to get the Note 3 because it was just a few days after the launch, but no, once I've got my eyes on something, that's all I want!

But now I'm obsessed with Samsung Galaxy Note 5 hmm. But as a student, I have to save my money and I can't simply spend it. So, I've decided that I will only buy it by next year. If they come up with a new Note 6 which looks and offers stuff way better, I might change my decision. I don't know why now I'm so into the Note line because normally I would think that those are phones for old working people. ~~Am I old now to finally be able to like the Note line? Hm.~~

Some people would ask, why not apple? Well, I have my reasons and that would be in another post!

So, back to my topic.

What I wanted to post was actually I'm back on track being the old Izz! The organized, happy-go-lucky Izz! And I thank it all to Allah s.w.t. I went back on track with His help, I'm very thankful for that. He had been there in all my hardships and I wish I had been a better Muslim. Now, I'm trying my best to be a good Muslim. Slow, but steady, in Shaa Allah.

I've started reading and Tumblr too. It gives me motivation and I'm happy for myself. I hope for those who are reading this, I would like to tell you that it's now or never.

Repent while you can. The door of taubah is still open and you never know when it's gonna close. Allah will accept you no matter how many mistakes you've done in the past. That's the old you. Allah looks forward to what you want to become and He will help you through it all. Have faith, read Quran in Shaa Allah you'll find the peace you're looking for. I pray the best for you.

Peace upon be you. Xoxo adios!
