A REFLECTION : THE BATTLE NEVER ENDS

Dear students,

Fighting off your temptation is far tougher than winning an elocution contest. To win the contest all you need is lots and lots of practice and a few doses of confidence and faith. Surely, it won't take months for that, two weeks with full concentration will do to win the so called coveted prizes. However, to drive away bad habits from loitering all over our body and soul is far easier said than done. Furthermore, it takes years or even more for the quest. And many collapsed in the midst towards the glory like hundreds of sherpas went missing in their mission to help some bravehearts reach the highest apex on earth. Thanks Edmund for his pioneering feat.Other Sherpas keep mushrooming despite the fact that death is looming. Why ? is their belief strong enough that they put their lives at risk or they have other factors which are far dominating than the belief itself? I think they might feel their job is noble and dignified! and if they die, they die an honour man or martyr as what muslim warriors were once when they were out in battle fields. They craved for martyrdom and many ended up crying for being still alive despite countless scars all over their bodies like Khalid al Walid. The question is are we smas dwellers strong enough to join the battle if our temptations not reasons and wisdoms are still their best companions. So, they say the battle won't simply end as what most predicted.

  1. this is so true. Some 'bad habits' are hard to get rid of. This is the battle that ones find the most difficult and challenging. The high probability of giving up is there but we rather fight and fight until we make it to the top.. But it's THE CLIMB that matters the most. It's the PROCESS, not really the product.
    So, dearest students, it's better to die on our feet than to live on our knees.we rather fail with honour than succeed by fraud. heheh
