Subhanallah, with the knowledge that Allah always offers us, this time umi would like to sincerely promote books..the door to everlasting, ever fulfilling, ever important mean of knowledge. Well, this book was bought about a year ago, yet umi is still slowly but steadily reading it, because to complete understanding the whole 100 ways of motivating oneself is not easy. There are so many truthful, practical and stimulating encouraging ways that we can practise, and that is what umi is painstakingly trying to accomplish..... let me quote just one sentence: The value of self-esteem lies not merely in the fact that it allows us to feel better,but that it allows us to live better- to respond to challenges and opportunities more resourcefully and appropriately. Dr. Branden. Try reading this book and you will understand what i am trying to tell you.
Now, this is an A book.....until now, i am crawling slowly, trying to digest and practise what is written by this author....being a mother myself, i learn that it is not easy to be a mother, especially knowing that whatever i do, i say, i pray will be the base, the body, the initial process of bringing up soleh and solehah children. My! how scared i feel when i realize that, a mother's word is very vital in this life. So, insyaallah everytime i cook or prepare food, i will always pray so that my children will only eat the food that is cooked by a sincere, loving and caring mother. And as a daughter myself, i am very scared learning that my mom's prayers will guide my life, and if i ever makes her sad, i will be receiving the wrath of Allah, as her prayers will lead me to heaven or hell. Ya Allah.....takutnya....i admit that i often argue with my mom..especially when she is now very depressed, very lonely and sickly, so she only needs the best and the best is not hers, yet. i always pray that whatever she does not get now, will be hers in the hereafter, insyallah......baca weh buku ni.
Nauzubillah, Allah forbids me and my family from this.....may Allah let us go through this titian smoothly, without any untoward challenges....oh ..its too difficult to get, but after reading this, i will make sure, we are not among those who will fall from this......please answer my prayers, Ya Allah........
This magazine was introduced by Ustazah Nashitah, jazakilah, because this reading is very up-to-date with the latest issues and very close to heart...it makes us feel so left behind, so tak pandai, so jahil in leading our life...the articles really open my mind to do more sincere, critical thinking, to question myself, my deeds, my feeling and whatever single thing that i commit in my life.........thus, my heart, my soul is guided by Allah.
