WISE WORD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

Hello everyone welcome back to my fourth entry as this entry might be a little bit dry but if you try to put some effort to understand it might give a good inspiration for you in future. As there is a quote by Bob Marley, ‘In this bright future you can’t forget your past’.

  ‘Negeri kita ini unik. Tidak ada ‘isme’ yang boleh diimport dari luar negeri. Kita kenalah tadbirkan negeri ini secara sendiri’.

Through this phrase we can see that how unique is our country, so do not hesitate follow our own culture rather than practicing other country culture that we do not know it real meaning behind it.

      ‘Jika kita cuba tiru mana- mana ‘isme’ dari negeri luar, maka sudah tentu tidak dapat diterima oleh rakyat negeri  ini’.

The generation before practice our own culture as they know that is the appropriate culture to be followed even it is old- fashioned for our generation. As there is a Malay proverb ‘hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri.’

   ‘Semangat Kemerdekaan hendaklah dijadikan baja bagi menyuburkan kemerdekaan yang kita capai’.

Independence is something precious to our country, appreciate it        while you still can feel it.

    ‘… merdeka itu bukanlah suatu bendayang mudah boleh didapat, melainkan ialah dikehendaki untuk mendapatkanya itu iaitu pengorbanan yang sebenar pengorbanan’.

       Getting independence is not something you can get by winking your eyes as it needs a real sacrifice to achieve it.

        ‘ Dengan kerananya kita terpaksa mengorbankan bukan sahaja wang ringgit dan usaha tenaga  bahkan jiwa kita sendiri juga’.

      Money is not the key point to get success but the real success comes from our own heart. 

thank you so much for reading my entry...hope you all gain something from it.
