NEVER ASSUME

NEVER...EVER.....ASSUME.





What  do you think when you see one ustaz walking to a nearby mosque? What do you think when you see a doctor running towards a patient's bed in a hospital? What you think when someone talks nicely about you to you but talk badly about someone you know?

The ustaz is going to mosque.... of course... to pray as Maghrib is nearing its time. The doctor is attending a patient because he is just stop breathing. And that someone is definately menanam tebu di tepi mulut.

However, never assume anything. Never assume that the ustaz is on its way to the mosque and never assume that the doctor is going to do some treatment to the patient.

Do not be surprise that the ustaz is actually on his way to a local snooker centre. He has to wear something that look like ustaz so that he can lie to his wife. His wife will be thinking that her husband is a holy man by going for Maghrib prayer at a mosque.

And the doctor? He just standing there and look at his watch. He put the time of death in the patient's  file  and ask the nurse to do the rest....end of another job in a hospital. The doctor don't even try to resuscitate the patient. He just look blank.

Never assume....never try to assume something without checking. People lie and people do make some lie in certain time in their life. They succeed because people believe blindly. Most of the time, we never check our facts, we just trust those people we love and care.

Many time, we trust those in uniforms to perform their work. We trust the policeman will help us in combating crime in our neighbourhood. We trust teachers of our children to teach our children all the good knowledgeable stuff. We also trust our workers and managers to work honestly. We also trust our wives and husbands to be loyal partners. We also trust our children caretakers to really take care our children.

However, should we assume something else and start digging. Professionally can but cannot blindly. We cannot question the integrity of our policeman, teachers, managers, children caretakers and of course our ustaz!

A successful corporate woman once told me that never trust a person 100 per cent, just give it only 90 per cent. The small 10 per cent can change overtime and over some incident or situation.

That is why small business operators should have a complete financial booking account on their  businesses that record all daily cash flow transaction, with the store records of goods coming in and out.

Even, the burger operators need some form of book-keeping. If not, you will never know the health situation of our businesses.

Another successful motivator and a ustaz.....(not that snooker ustaz)...once told me trust Allah only as He is the only Almighty who knows Everything.

It is definitely true....believing in Allah that He knows better than us, will make us feel secure and blissful.

People may smile at us but it is not predictable what is stored deep inside his or her hearts. Maybe she or he painted a cheerful smiling face but his/her hearts have become dark because of hatred. And only Allah knows better.

Let it be...let Allah do the rest... and of course, we have to build our trust towards Him.

Lastly, we do hope that the ustaz really go to mosque to perform Magrib prayer and the doctor will try his best to save the patient and the tanam tebu di tepi mulut lady will taubat.
