    · Something I learned about the secret of happiness in work.
    I’m always hearing from someone that they hate their work. I don’t really know the reason but in my opinion, we should love our work as it is a part of our life or maybe our life! I’ve seen a lot of people that hate and love their jobs. I think, what important is we should find our talent, passion and strength. This three things are very important in order to make sure that you are very happy and enjoy in doing whatever your job is. Make sure you know what you love to do. That will lead us to the happiness in work as Maxim Gorky says, “When work is a pleasure, life is a joy! When work is a duty, life is slavery.” However, if we find that our job is something that we don’t like, you just try to love it. We have to always think positive. Don’t just keep hating your job. This is what we called as mindsets. Just sets your mind to think positive, try to love your work and accept whatever given to you because I believed that whatever happens, happen for a reason.

    · My experience with flow
    Most of us experience with flow. Truly happy people experience it often. I have experience with flow. Actually I have done something that physically difficult that has leaded me to the experience with having flow in life. I was a red belt taekwondo holder but I didn’t manage to make it to the black belt because I’m too busy with the SPM at that time. But, I have got an opportunity to enter a taekwondo tournament once. That was very challenging for me as I have to face my opponents that were physically big than me. I have never felt nervous like that in life. Only god knows how much I afraid at that time. When I was fighting, I only think about winning. I only focus on what I want at that time. I don’t think about anything else. During my tournament, I felt time was passing very slowly. I have to fight in 20 minutes but I felt like hours! But, finally, after experience something that very challenges me, finally I got something from it. Although I only got silver, but I still feel satisfied for what I have done. The moment I have been given the medal at the podium, I felt very great as I can’t tell you how it is felt. It was something really hard to tell. No words can describe that. Maybe this is what we called as flow. You have to experience it yourself then you will know how great it is.

  • Where am I in life now
    Where am I in life now? I will be a 19 years old girl on this coming 23rd November . So I think I have to start planning my future now. I am now studying Degree in Corporate Administration and Relation an USIM. Actually I didn’t expect to get this course and even this U! but I just accept whatever come to me as I believe that whatever happen, happen for a reason. I came from Accounting Matriculation program at the north, Perlis. I used to get an offer from the UiTM Perlis in Diploma Of Accounting before decided to go to the Matriculation program. But I refused to take the Diploma which is I think it is quite good actually but I have reject it. Then, when I was finishing Matriculation, I got an offer to attend an interview in Degree of Art and Graphic Design at UiTM Shah Alam but still, I refused to accept it. Art is my passion, but I don’t know why I reject that. And now, here I am in USIM. Actually, I was frustrated when thinking back all the offer that I have reject. But, as times goes by, I manage to accept the fate that I am belong to USIM. So, I want to study hard for my parents and family and for me, too. After I graduated, I want to work in a big company in Corporate sector. Then, at the same time, I want to set up my own business and also, my own art gallery which is my passion and my dream all this while. Art is really my passion. If I’m drawing and painting something, I couldn’t realize that time has passes so fast. So, I hope that I will got an opportunity to further my study in art so that I can combine my job that is business and my passion that is art. With that, I’m sure that I will be the person who is the most happiest in doing job.

Yes, I had the same kind of regrets too. I rejected an offer to go to a technical school for a civil engineering stream.I've always wondered if I had taken that offer - would I be an architect now? That's the road not taken... Since then, I've always follow my heart coz I don't want to regret and keep thinking "what would have been if I had ...?"
