Finding your strength

It's been a hard time ...thinking over the issue regarding 8 principles to achieve success in life, taken from motivational book of Steven Covey. During our meeting last friday,we've been given a 'lecture' on 8 habits by our group leader Dr.suraini.The 8 habits were listed as follow;

1) Be proactive
2) begin with the end in mind
3) first thing first
4) think win-win
5) seek first to understand and understood later
6) synergize
7) sharpen the saw
8) moving to being effective to being great

yeah! all of above habits seem so easy to be applied.....yet.. the reality is i am still left behind, in order to achieve the 8's, i have to build confident within me.... i'm still looking and searching for my own voice....my own strength....but till now...i'm questioning my self "do i have any strength?" if i had, what is it? tell me..tell me... arghhhhhh!!!! will find it later:(

Being a PhD student, learning as much of knowledge related to our field is a compulsary daily routine..apart of it...english learning( just close ur eye when seeing any grammatical error...hehe)...most of the time staying in the lab...doing our job...ignoring peoples around us...is that a good attitude to carry on...should one day becoming a leader or boss??? of coz not.... right??? there is needs to get others cooperation in order for us to success....do imagine when your supervisor ignores you and your friends did not inform or reminding you about very important meeting you should attend ..sad is't? So let ourself involves in the society, dont get ourself isolated from the world!!

Defining SuCCess

SUCCESS means when you are able to bring peoples around you to be successful tooo.....not only you...dear....make it simple by putting it this way, I am a mother of 2 kids, a wife and daughter to my parent...would you consider me as successful if I neglect my responsibilities toward my kids and husband....and my parent as well? but my career was extremely superb!! What kind of living is that? it is all about YOU! SELFISH!!  At certain stage in your life...you'll realize that you missed something...your kids is no longer looking at you to get the loves they deserve..like normally they did in their childhood. They are now grown up..they have their own way of life..seldomly at home...same goes with your husband...looking for the happiness outside...you are now all ALONE at home...thinking hardly of what have you done to your family....after all...you worked very hard just to earn money for a comfort living is it?

huh! i dont want my life ended that way. I have to set the priority either family or PhD..both are important! anyway...a quality time spent for our family will make each of family members a cheerful person since we always give our greatest concern to each others,and finally...happy life will creates successful human being...right???
As a conclusion, i decided to give my very best efforts to love my family and being loved by them....No 1...second will go to my Phd study..fist thing first(3rd habit)... 

So,I pray...and ask ALLah to show me the right path...and the strength to face any obstacles along my journey! Amin...
