"Before you heal others, you must heal yourself"
That's what Prof Dr Muhaya said to us when she came to Kuantan to register her daughter in the Kulliyyah of Medicine. Prof Muhaya, an opthalmologist, having a legacy of excellence, spared some time to give us a short tazkirah.
She started by mentioning four categories of people;
- golongan yang utama or excellent or eheh awla :) are those who only speak when necessary and their words increase the knowledge of others or are beneficial to others. they have many ideas and they put them into action. their free time are used up for zikir!
- golongan yang biasa or the unextraodinary or normal people are those who talk about peristiwa or happenings or stories without much benefit to others... purposeless ramblings and rantings???
- golongan yang negative, negative and more negative; they are pessimistic people, always complaining and they can find fault in everything but themselves. it's either the very hot weather or the monotonous and boring lecturer or the noisy surrounding or the faulty equipment etc.
- golongan yang hina! they 're the ones who are self-absorbed and self-centered. they feel that the world revolves around the. their main topic is 'me, myself and i'. examples are those who feel that things or events happen or become a reality because of them. 'kalau takde saye, tak jadi projek ni' etc.
reflecting upon all four categories, i realize i have a bit of all four of 'em. prolly more of group 2, 3 and 4 than i should have and maybe i have a little of the group 1 trait.
hina! man that's harsh yet undoubtedly true. how can anyone benefit others if cannot see past themselves?
ok, awla, enough of yourself. concentrate more on others now!!!
