THE POWER OF LOVE

When talking about LOVE, what comes to our mind is merely a relationship between a man and a lady. Very rare that we’ll think love is something more than just the beautiful feeling between the two genders.

Cannot be denied that love is something that relates with feelings between two parties. It’s not only between the two different genders, but it can also exists between similar gender, between human and other things in this world, and the most valued & prestigious love is between human and our Great Creator ie: ALLAH swt.

When love exists, everything is so pleasant and beautiful. A husband can easily forgive his wife and vice versa when love embraces their marriage. Children will never neglect their parents when their life is surrounded with feeling of love. A man will never hurt his girlfriend in any aspects and vice versa when sincere love bounded their relationship. A human will never hurt an animal if love exists in his/her heart. An organization can be prosperous and successful if every of its employee loves their jobs and tasks. A friendship can last forever when sincere love is the basic of their beliefs & trusts.

But, how many of us realized the wonders and powers of love can affect our daily life?

I’ve seen a dying man suffering from cancer can still smiles and greet all his visitors because the feeling of love that always exists in his mind. He believes that, only love could bring all his friends to his side even when his time is clocking out from this world. The loves from his friends could relief the pain and encourage him to be stronger, although only ALLAH knows how he suffered!

I have another friend who had been in his job for the last ten years without having any career progression, but he’s still there giving his full commitment & loyalty to the organization. I used to ask him, why are you still here while with your skills & expertise, you can easily have better career progression and opportunities somewhere else? I love my job and my employer. I love the organization!... answers that I never expected and has never been in my mind. He also said; It’s no harm giving your LOVE to someone or whatever you feel that deserves your LOVE because it is like Leveraging Of Valuable Efforts in order to maximize productivity.

After second thought, I intend to agree with him and came-up with an interesting formula as follows:-

Leveraging Of Valuable Effort (LOVE) = Synergy
Synergy = Team work & commitment
Team work & commitment = Economy of scale on resources
Economy of scale on resources = maximized productivity
Maximized productivity = PROFIT.

Huh!… this is something interesting to ponder!... Isn’t it good if an organization can inculcates the feeling of LOVE in all of its employees!

LOVE is something that everybody needs in their life but sometimes do not know where to get it. LOVE is a booster that everyone needs in managing wonderful life in this world. LOVE is part of required immunization for everyone to prevent negative influences that had been spreading like active virus in our, so called “modern life style & social culture”.

I, myself always believe that feeling in love can make me fit and healthy. Feeling of love has always makes me happy and smiles to everyone that I meet. And the important thing is, love always makes me feel young and energetic. It’s very wonderful to love and be loved. Do give your loves in order to get back all the loves that you needed.

May be you and all my friends have some other suggestion and ideas about love which we could share. Thus, everyone out there is welcome to discuss and give your comments at this entry.

Apa Erti Kebahgiaan Dalam Sebuah Keluarga

Di dalam kita sedang sibuk menyambut tahun baru, tiba-tiba kita dikejutkan dengan berita yang mungkin amat menyayat hati seorang isteri dan juga anak-anak. Seorang ketua masyarakat yang amat dihormati dan disayangi kerana kewibawaannya di dalam membantu membangunkan negara dan membela nasib rakyat marhain tetapi kecundang dengan nafsu serakahnya sendiri.

Ramai yang mengatakan, apa yang telah beliau lakukan itu adalah hak peribadinya dan adalah tidak adil bagi masyarakat menghukumnya dengan sebarang cercaan atau kutukkan kerana secara dasarnya bukan dia seorang yang melakukan perkara sekeji itu, cuma bezanya orang lain bukanlah seorang 'public figure' sepertinya.

Namun, tidakkah beliau sedar bahawa dengan perbuatannya itu beliau telah menghancurkan hati seorang isteri yang begitu setia di sisinya selama ini. Bayangkanlah, bagaimana sang isteri dapat menerima kenyataan bahawa suami yang dicintai, suami yang disanjung & dihormati masyarakat sanggup melakukan perkara sekeji itu. Bukan sahaja hati isteri yang hancur, tetapi bayangkanlah bagaimana pula anak-anaknya mahu berhadapan dengan kawan-kawannya apabila semua orang tahu bahawa ayah yang dibanggakannya selama ini bukanlah seorang yang baik akhlaknya.

Mengapa begitu rapuhnya kesetiaan seorang lelaki terhadap isterinya hanya dengan godaan seorang wanita yang belum tentu sanggup mengharungi susah payah hidup bersamanya? Bagaimanakah seorang ayah akan dapat mendidik anak-anaknya ke jalan yang benar sekiranya dia sendiri kalah dengan nafsu serakahnya? Bagaimanakah seorang suami dan ayah yang dianggap sebagai ketua keluarga boleh membina keluarga bahagia bila dia sendiri mencari kebahgiaan dan keseronokkan di luar rumah?

Marilah kita sama-sama bermuhasabah diri dan jadikanlah cerita ini sebagai iktibar di dalam usaha kita membina bahagia dalam hidup ini. Jadikanlah tahun 2008 ini sebagai tahun kita mengenali diri kita sendiri dan apakah matlamat sebenar kita dalam hidup ini. Hargailah kesetiaan dan pengorbanan orang-orang yang sentiasa setia di sisi kita ketika susah atau senang.

Saya tidak pernah prejudis terhadap lelaki, tetapi amat berharap seorang lelaki yang bergelar suami atau ayah dapat memikirkan apakah wajar hati seorang isteri dan anak-anak dihancurkan hanya kerana kita terlalu mementingkan kepuasan hati sendiri. Mungkin tuan/puan ada mempunyai pandangan sendiri mengenai perkara ini, jadi eloklah kalau kita bolehl bertukar-tukar pendapat diruangan ini. Komen tuan/puan amatlah dialu-alukan.
