With each winning,
we earn fame.
But,
With each failure,
we learn lessons
and we gain strength.
We become stronger
with each failure.
And in fact, a bit wiser too.
The key here is 'patience'.
Plan ahead
as if we are going to
live another thousand years.
Reminisce
as if we can
go back in time.
Live today
as if we are going to
die any moment now.
The key here is 'balance'.
The secret of
good planning
and decision-making
do not lie in
how far ahead
we look at something.
But rather,
at how we consider
and reconsider
and again, reconsider:
The elements of
the now
the past
and the future.
The key here is 'clarity'.
Now that we have learnt
the essence
and important
keys to planning
and decision-making,
there is another thing
to bear in mind:
"We propose, Allah disposes."
Knowing this,
we should understand that
above 'patience', 'balance' and 'clarity'
lay the most essential key.
This is FAITH.
Plan, then execute it.
Next, have Faith.
In Allah.
In ourselves.
The best shall come our way
when we least expected it.
Because Allah knows better
what is best for us.
