Grateful - bersyukur, is something I lack of recently. 10 years back, I thought bersyukur is an easy thing to do, and wonder why adults didn't.
It is not easy, at least for me, to feel bersyukur, dengan ikhlas. I don't know if I'm alone, but I don't think so. Mendengar orang-orang bercerita, I think I'm not alone.
Why don't we feel grateful?
Because maybe, the grass is always greener in the neighbor's lawn. This is sifat-sifat aku yang I failed to ignore.

I remember a friend, upon hearing a story about coffee & cup and everyone else replied that the moral of the story is we have to feel grateful of what we have and focus on the most important things in life; he didn't approve.
Instead, he argued that if we have option and chance to grab both good "cup" and good "coffee", why don't we? Why stop and thinks this is all I worth and feel grateful?
True indeed. Why ?
*nantikan sambungan jap lagi, tak pun esok..
Ok sorry for the delay.
Back to the topic, and rephrasing it; Is it ok to feel grateful, when u haven't got the best out of everything? Like having good coffee in an expensive pretty cup.
Or, actually we need to feel grateful for what has been designated for us is what's the best for us?
Hmmm.. susahkan?
Not indeed. After a few unsuccessful attempts of continuing this entry, I realize that we should all be grateful for what has been granted to us.
And that doesn't mean we should stop striving for the best.
If the analogy is still the cup & coffee story, be thankful for the cup you're currently using, and the coffee u're sipping. Sip it to the last drop, and take good care of the cup.
And, do not forget to find better coffee, with a better cup.
Back to basic, eh?

ade org cakap kat aku.
i am easily satisfied and contented.
aku tatau lah betul ke tak,
tapi aku rasa, aku jenis tak pendam dalam hati, kalau aku nak aku buat sampai dapat, kalau aku tanak or mebe aku rasa tak boleh dapat, aku let go. so nampak seperti contented gitu.
senang kan prinsip aku. so far masih hepi dgn life sendiri. tapiiii, aku tak jamin lah memegang prinsip begitu will make you happy in 20 years time. aku tak test result jangkamasa panjang lagi. hopefully tak miserable sgt kot and dapat minum kopi yang sedap dalam Royal Doulton. :P
erm.. dalam kan makna bersyukur? aku rasa aku pon slalu tak bersyukur sbb slalunya liku2 di hadapan tiada halangan.. semuanya senang. life is always green for me (alhamdulilah)
aku akan automatic bersyukur bila ada dugaan, bila ada musibah, bila org2 terdekat dapat kesedihan. barula rasa nak bersyukur, tapi istiqamahnya sekejap je. kadang2 aku rasa takut sgt, takut Dia ambik semua nikmat yg Dia bagi. nauzubillah.
bila aku dok UK ni and rasa susah especially masa baru2 sampai, aku rasa banyaknya nikmat dunia yg aku tak syukuri masa kat Malaysia. bila kereta takde and kena jalan kaki pergi-balik ke uni (dlm 30minit gakla 1 way), rasa syukurnya ada kete. eh panjangnya, dah jadi entry blog plak. hehee
Aku rasa aku ada mid-life crisis (awalnya). Aku tak minat kerja ST, tak minat kerja TM, and tak minat kerja teknikal. Aku nak buat benda lain la pulak, tapi tak tau nak buat apa.
Aku dah 3 kali tolak post manager (psycho betul).
Sekarang ni aku nampak cup empty je. Kalau penuh or separuh pun, nampak empty je.Hmmm.
Perlu mencari matlamat hidup yg baru. Any suggestion?
uish.. i'm in debt of one entry nampaknya.
nina - easily satisfied? I think you're not. Ko orang yg I look high upon yang berusaha bersungguh2, and bersyukur bersungguh2.
julies - agreed, syukur maksudnya very deep.
Li - hmmhh.. so not u. Maybe taking a step back untuk cari momentum baru can help?
