Know Your Priorities

Sejak kembali ke UK,ramai kawan-kawan yang bertanya tentang keadaan fizikal saya yang dilihat semakin 'kering'.Tidaklah terlampau besar akan perubahan tersebut,namun ia dapat dilihat dengan mata kasar seorang manusia.Sebenarnya,tidak pernah lagi saya lose weight sehingga X kg.Size baju yang dibeli juga perlu bertukar kepada saiz Y.Sakitkah aku??Sedikit sebanyak perkara ini merunsingkan kepala.Namun,ia lebih elok dipendam sahaja,because I know girls usually think too much!Heh~

Exessive stress tak elok,ok?!

Tambah risau,banyak kerja menanti,pelajaran perlu dikejar,dan timbunan assignments yang perlu disiapkan.Itulah perlunya trade off between work and leisure dalam hidup,seperti yang ditulis dalam buku Economics karangan John Sloman.Maka,tidak dapat tidak,komitmen kepada diri dan perkara-perkara lain yang tidak kurang pentingnya menuntut sedikit pengorbanan on my leisure time.Hidup mula menjadi sedikit tunggang langgang kerana lemahnya saya dalam menyesuaikan diri dengan kehidupan baru selaku Final Year Student di Nottingham..Dan antara masalah diri yang dapat saya rectify,is that saya agak kurang pandai dalam membeza dan menguruskan 'things that I have to do' and 'things that is nice to do'.

Need To Do vs Nice To Do

There is a good article written by Acabeire in iluvislam.In his article,he said that the key to knowledge is to differentiate between things that you need to know and things that it is nice to know.And then,place the knowledge at heart,by taking care of our actions.I do believe that his words of wisdom, do apply in my life.As my commitments and pressures arise,the key to success is to know which are the things that I need to do,and which are the ones that are nice to do.It applies to me,at least.

Considering my own obligation to study well and my hobby of surfing the internet-Youtube,facebook,blogging,etc.It's crystal clear that my study should have a higher priority than my hobby.As such,learning,reading books and journals,tutorials and discussions should be categorized as things that I need to do,whereas,surfing the internet are things that is nice to do.I believe most of us would agree on this.However,for most of the time,we are unable to differentiate between those two ,resulting in unfavourable consequences to happen.Oklaaa,I'm not pointing this to all of you sebenarnya,it's me actually.Ehe..

Yes,true..main internet best!Lagi best dari baca buku business.Apetah lagi kalau the reader rasa seperti terpaksa(oppppsss!).Main sports,baca buku cerita,watch Kekasihku Seru dengan kawan-kawan, dan lain-lain .Semua pun best!Tapi,we still have to draw a line between apa yang perlu dibuat dan apa yang seronok untuk dilakukan.By hook or by crook.

Mungkin kerana sedikit stress dengan kehidupan saya yang tidak tersusun,ditambah pula dengan kejadian kehilangan barang yang berterusan-Kamera Sanyo S70 hasil kenangan bersama Intan Syaz,jam tangan pemberian Apih,bangle yang dibeli dari Turkey,Brain Trainer Book yang dibeli dari Eastmidland Airport etc,I tend to divert my perasaan sedih tersebut to other things.I bought new camera-Fujifilm Finepix S5800,new watch-jenama Tiempo and recently,4 buah buku telah menjadi mangsa haha!The good news is,I bought these 4 books for only GBP 4.Amazing price dowhh!!~

I bought this because I saw Ariel Sharon's compliment at the back of the book.Let's see the author's point of view on the Arab-Israeli conflict.Bias or not??

Sambungan bestselling book-Men Are From Mars,Women Are From Venus.John Gray collect all the true stories from the people who use his work to fix and improve their relationship.

Beli sebab I know he is a good author based on word-of-mouth.Kalau tidak silap.John C Maxwell merupakan bekas paderi,jadi approach yang digunakan di dalam buku ini agak lembut dan menyentuh perasaan.

Karen Armstrong-a well known author as well.She wrote the Biography of Prophet Muhammad as well,tapi Cik Intan pun belum baca lagi.Al maklumla masih dalam proses menggalakkan diri untuk membaca.Besides,I really want to know about Bible,so I might just ask my flatmate,Kristi and read the book to have a brief understanding on their Christianity.

Beli banyak-banyak bukuni,tak tahulah bila nak baca...Siapa-siapa nak pinjam buku untuk tambahkan general knowledge anda di samping mengisi masa yang terluang dengan berfaedah,please feel free to contact me.But remember!!Anda mesti tahu untuk membezakan 'Things That You Need To Do' and 'Things That Is Nice To Do',or in other words,know your priorities.
