I begin this journey by saying Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم
Taken into consideration that I will be starting my PhD
journey it’s only fair that I start recording my daily activities in this blog. As a start lets look at what have I accomplished for the day
and how can I improved further for a better tomorrow. Well there is an old
saying that goes like this “if you want to be successful, we got to think and
act successful”.
In this holly month I believe is a good start making some
changes in to ensure a balance and healthier lifestyle to win in the journey of
PhD. Is not going to be easy but at the same time I never say is impossible to
achieve either. To ensure this
mission accomplished every night before I go to bed here are some quick check
and balance questions I should be asking myself:
(1) Have I fulfilled
my responsibilities to my creator?
(2) Have I fulfilled
my responsibilities to my parents?
(3) Have I fulfilled
my responsibilities to my son?
(4) Have I fulfilled
my responsibilities to my studies?
(5) Have I fulfilled
my responsibilities to my own?
(5) Have I fulfilled
my responsibilities to my work?
These questions might sound simple but yet it does have
rather huge impact on my daily life, in the event if I felt sad or anger over
an issues it should be consider solved after I captured it in the blog. The main
objective is to ensure I stay focus on the important and urgent things in life.
This also means that is ok for me to say “no” or “I’m sorry I
don’t think I can accommodate to your request” it doesn’t mean that I don’t
care but I just need to be fair to myself and for my future. Beside the key
questions I should also learn to talk less, listen and read more, this means
more Zikir and devotes my life to Allah.
I need to Take time to ponder what I’ve done and does it
provide any goodness and get me closer to my Creator? If the answer is yes then
means I’m in the right track. Otherwise repent for the wrong doing. But most
importantly is be “truthful to myself”
