five balls of life

Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls.
The balls are called work, family, health, friends and integrity.
And you’re keeping all of them in the air.
But one day, you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball.
If you drop it, it will bounce back.
The other four balls - family, health, friends, and integrity - are made of glass.
If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.
And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.
 
They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. The book suggests 12 ways:
1. Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
2. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
3. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
4. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
5. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
6. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together.
7. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
8. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
9. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
10. Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
11. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
12. Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.


A few great thoughts from the book "Suzanne's Diary to Nicholas" by James Patterson.
may Allah bless! :)

niat

assalamualaikum. sorry semua... kalau dekat exam ni, besa post aku sal family atau study. sebab dekat exam, aku selalu homesick and semangat juga cerita sal future. ngeh3... korang layan je la ek :P

my bff, mr. boss pesan..
kita kena selalu tajdid niat..
so, sebab apa kita study?

LILLAHI TA'ALA
paling utama, tentu sekali kerana Allah. kenapa kerana Allah? sebab aku datang sini untuk buat ibadah, bukan maksiat. menuntut ilmu tu kan satu ibadah. dan satu ayat yang aku mula sebatikan dalam diri aku, "HIDUP DAN MATI BIARLAH KERANA ALLAH" :)


DOCTOR IN THE MAKING


DR. SHAKILA SEHA? Ehem.

so itu lagi satu benda yang aku kena ingat, tuntut ilmu. insyaAllah hari-hari aku akan ingatkan diri aku yang aku datang ke bumi Anbiya adalah untuk menuntut ilmu. jadi tiada perkataan malas. shuh MALAS shuhh.. hee~ mengenali diri aku, tahulah aku bahawa MALAS merupakan dugaan terbesar yang aku perlu lawan. heee (buat muka sengih malu malu)~

selain daripada menuntut ilmu kerana Allah, aku tau untuk jadi doktor tu bukan senang. apa lagi untuk jadi doktor yang berkualiti. doktor kicai-kicai apa barang? so, doktor yang berkualiti mesti la yang berilmu kan.. dan itu la kenapa aku mesti rajin-rajin belajar. aku ta mau jadi doktor yang salah bagi patient darah ada HIV, aku ta mau jadi doktor yang salah diagnosis pesakit. aku mau jadi doktor yang betul-betul berjasa dan membawa makna kepada dunia serta agama, aku mau jadi doktor yang berupaya membantu pesakitnya kembali senyum, aku mau jadi doktor muslimah sejati.

lebih-lebih lagi aku bawa nama Shakila Seha, nama Islam. walau ke mana pun aku melangkah, aku kena ingat aku bawa nama agama aku dalam setiap tapak aku melangkah. jadi konklusinya, aku kena belajar juga rajin-rajin. this is my fight! strive towards EXCELLENCE! MUMTAZ! for Allah, for Islam, for myself, for my mom, my dad, my family, I'm going to win this fight. pray for me..! >_<

lagipun, aku mau tebus balik SPM aku. pencemar rekod straight A sejarah hidup betul. huh. aku memang amat amat besyukur la bila dapat juga ambik medic. walaupun bukan di Europe macam yang aku idam-idamkan, tapi Mesir ni pun sudah lebih dari cukup. i believe, Allah knows best. mesti ada hikmah di sebalik apa-apa yang berlaku. so, ini peluang kedua aku and i'm not going to waste it. never. syukran ya Rabb :)

AKU BUKAN PENGIKUT FIRAUN
other than that, aku sudah azam biarlah aku datang ke bumi penuh barakah ni dengan membawa pembaharuan kepada diri aku, perubahan yang baik la.. orang cakap datang tanah Mesir ni antara jadi Firaun atau para Nabi.. so aku ta akan sesekali mau jadi pengikut Firaun and for that, aku mau ambil peluang ni untuk dalami lagi Islam dan buat perubahan pada diri aku yang serba kekurangan ni.. (tiba-tiba pula humble. jarang-jarang. hehe).

aku mau start dari bawah. biar mula dengan belajar merangkak lalu berjalan kemudian berlari, dan bukan terus berlari dan terjatuh lalu tidak dapat berlari lagi. start dari bawah maknanya mula dengan mengenali Islam. aku mungkin Islam, tapi belum tentu aku betul-betul kenal apa tu Islam. so sebab tu, aku mau mula dari bawah. mula dengan pengenalan. orang cakap, tak kenal maka ta cinta kan. camana aku mo cakap aku cinta kalau ta kenal, right? analoginya sama la macam aku cakap aku cinta Dollah. tapi siapakah Dollah? wujudkah Dollah tu? lebih kurang gitu la.. hehe. dan sebab tu juga la aku download buku Harun Yahya, Let's Learn Our Islam.

let's make a fresh start! stay tune for the brand-new Shakila Seha ;)





BILA LAGI?
Bila lagi? yang pertama: Alang-alang sudah datang Mesir, aku ingat bila-bila Allah izinkan, aku mau buat umrah. Nanti-nanti kalau ada rezeki, buat haji pula. Rugi kalau ta buat.. :)

Bila lagi? yang kedua: Mau jalan-jalan! hehe :D

Bila lagi? yang ketiga: Mau ambik gambar sebanyak yang mungkin. Satu hari nanti boleh la tayang dekat anak cucu. Hahaha

Bila lagi? yang keempat: Jom timba pengalaman yang belum tentu orang lain boleh dapat. Appreciate every moment, cherish every memories! Pengalaman mematangkan fikiran, perjalanan meluaskan pandangan :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I might still be the cengeng Seha or the spoilt Shakila Seha, but despite cengeng and spoilt, I'm also the same determined ambitious Seha and tough hearted Shakila Seha. So I'm ready for anything. Give me storm, hell or high water, I'll overcome whatever comes to me. Because I know that Allah is always there.

"Maka barang siapa mengikuti petunjuk-Ku, tidak ada rasa takut pada mereka dan mereka tidak bersedih hati."

Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat 38.


May Allah bless.









P/S: Pessimistic, you are surely KALAH.

doctor?? erk..

Criteria for becoming a Malaysian Govt Doctor. There's no need for an aptitude test. Students should consider these requirements:

1. No life outside medicine; this includes dating, sports, clubbing, chores for your parents and visiting the toilet.

2. Not to live with your parents. Move out ASAP as they will never understand the ludicrous working hours that u go through. Furthermore, chores are not suitable for u as to rule number 1.

3. Not to be married until completion of all 4 years of Govt Compulsory service as u will be transferred left and right to some of the most remote Govt clinics in Malaysia. Having wife and kids to follow you to your new working area may increase high level of stress on all parties. Furthermore, if your spouse is a Govt Doctor, he/she will also be transferred away from u and no matter what appeal is made, KKM will put up a deaf ear (unless u have big cables or of a certain skin color).

4. If married, no to have children until u finish all 4 years of Govt Compulsory service, as to which u and your spouse will not have much time for your child/children or they end up not recognizing u and refer the Indonesian maid as their mother (change in language patterns commonly follow).

5. To obtain life insurance once your govt service begins as there is not many claims for accidents during work. Don't be fooled, Doctoring in Malaysia is hazardous.

6. Able to withstand 36 hours of non stop work and stress without mistakenly labeling Left for Right or uvula for vulva (or Volvo S40)

7. To buy a car with complete safety features (like I'm doing) which includes multiple airbags, ABS, EBD, side-front-rear-top-parallel and diagonal impact bars and seat belts to ensure survivability if u are involved in an accident because your driving resembled a drunkard maniac after working in the hospital for 40 hrs non stop.

8. Constant supply of coffee.

9. Nicotine Patch as u will have the urge to start smoking due to overwhelming stress

10. Interest in watching medical sitcoms such as House MD, Scrubs, ER, Grays Anatomy and Chicago Hope to inspire u to continue your life as a doctor as the exciting things u see on TV does not resemble the real life of a Malaysian govt doctor.

11. Not to have any pets or plants (not even cactuses) as u will have no time to feed or care for them and eventually all will end up in your mortuary.

12. Able to endure the stench of your own sweat as to when 36 hours "on call" does not permit u time to bathe or freshen up.

13. Able to carry on working without food or water over 15 hours. ( I was in OT for 16 hrs without food, water or bathroom breaks). If during fasting month, able to break your fast with ?water for injection? as u had no time to buy food.

14. Able to come to work with fever/cough/illness or physical disability (sprained ankle etc) as to which doctors do not deserve MCs. (My MO was on crutches during rounds)

15. Able to stand scolding, destructive criticism, kiss ass behaviors, racial bias, finger pointing, scape goating, and in competency from your superiors.

16. Able to withstand the jealousy when your friends call u up for some fun and ur stuck in the hospital during on call.

p/s; am i able to withstand all this? ya Allah, strengthen me and my friends... hope we all can be a good Muslim doctors in the future, insyaAllah :)
