POINTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

This is amazing, he died of pancreatic cancer in 2008, but wrote a book ‘The last lecture” before then, one of the bestsellers in 2007. What a legacy to leave behind…
In a letter to his wife Jai and his children, Dylan, Logan , and Chloe, he wrote this beautiful "guide to a better life" for his wife and children to follow:


PERSONALITY:
1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
3. Don't over do; keep your limits.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does.
5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
6. Dream more while you are awake.
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.
Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more.
14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

COMMUNITY:
15. Call your family often.
16. Each day give something good to others.
17. Forgive everyone for everything.
18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
19. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
20. What other people think of you is none of your business.
21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch.

LIFE:
22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do.
23. GOD heals everything.
24. Do the right things.
25. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
26. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
27. The best is yet to come.
28. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy.

While you practice all of the above, share this knowledge with the people you love, people you school with, people you play with, people you work with and people you live with.
Not only will it enrich YOUR life, but also that of those around you.

UNTUK KAFIR KITABI (KRISTIAN DAN YAHUDI)

Oleh; Omar Shariff Nokman
   Terlebih dahulu saya mahu menerangkan tentang apa itu jalan yang lurus? Jalan yang lurus dan benar adalah jalan yang dibawa oleh para nabi sejak dari zaman Nabi Adam lagi. Jalan yang lurus itu mengajak manusia supaya beriman kepada Allah S.w.t dengan sebenar2nya dan mengEsakanNya. Dan begitu banyak sekali usaha2 untuk menyelewengkan jalan yang lurus itu kerana manusia dihasut oleh iblis dan syaitan. Iblis dan kuncu2nya telah mengisytiharkan perang kepada anak Adam sehingga ke Hari Kiamat. Maka mereka sedaya upaya akan cuba menyesatkan anak Adam dari menjadi hamba Allah yang sebenarnya.

Maka di sini saya ingin menumpukan kepada usaha penyelewengan jalan yang LURUS ini oleh kaum Bani Israel yang menjadi umat nabi Isa a.s / Yesus. Jalan yang asalnya menyuruh menyembah ALlah, Tuhan yang Esa, tetapi telah dicampur adukkan dan di sesatkan dengan menambah agar menyembah dan mengangkat Yesus sebagai Tuhan. Dan akhirnya mewujudkan satu konsep keTuhanan yang baru iaitu Trinity (3 dalam 1).

Sebenarnya, ramai di kalangan Kristian peringkat awal dulu sendiri pun tidak bersetuju dan menentang konsep Trinity ini. Kumpulan2 seperti Ebonites, Corinthians, Basilidians, Capocratians, dan Hypisistarians tidak tahu-menahu pun tentang konsep Trinity ini. Manakala Arians, Paulicians dan Goths menerima Yesus sebagai seorang rasul sahaja dan menentang Trinity.

Dan bukan kumpulan2 itu dan Islam sahaja yang tidak bersetuju dengan Trinity, malah Yahudi juga amat tidak bersetuju dengan Trinity. CUma sayangnya, Yahudi terlalu angkuh dan hanya menganggap kaum mereka sahaja yang mulia dan tidak menerima kerasulan Nabi Muhammad S.a.w hanya kerana Nabi Muhammad S.a.w bukan keturunan Bani Israel. Mereka tidak menerima hakikat tersebut kerana bagi mereka, rasul mestilah hanya dari keturunan Israel kerana semua rasul terkemudian sebelum itu berketurunan dari Israel / Nabi Yaakob.

Dan jangan terkejut, pada zaman moden ini pun ada gereja2 di Asia, Afrika, gereja Unitarian, Jehovah’s witnesses dan majoriti paderi2 Anglikan juga dilaporkan tidak menerima konsep Trinity, tidak menyembah Yesus dan masih mengekalkan keEsaan Allah S.w.t. Dan Johannes Greber (1874), bekas paderi Roman Katolik dalam bukunya yang bertajuk, ’The Communication with the Spirit World of God’ dalam muka surat 31 mengatakan , ”As you see, the doctrine of a triune Godhead is not only contrary to common sense, but is entirely unsupported by the Scriptures”. Dia juga mengatakan bahawa idea Trinity itu langsung tidak mendapat sokongan dari kitab Bible sendiri.
