Couple of lessons

1. Things aren't as bad as they seem.

Ever since the one major failure of my life (the whole JC thing...) I thought I really had it bad, with people I know going into Universities, or having well paying jobs, or pursuing whatever interests they had... Then I met this guy who got it way worse than me. I was only forced a step back, but he got shit. Basically, he was dismissed from a career in Police, and had to go through NS all over again in Civil Defence, inclusive of the bald phase in BRT. Now he's as old as my bro, and starting over. And the way I see it, he's taking it cool.

I've already come to terms with my situation, but this dude made me feel lucky that it wasn't too bad.


2.Misjudging people

We misjudge people all the time. We think bad of them before we even know them. In my case, the RSM.

I lost respect for him because of the things he said about prayers when he talked to us on our first day at work.
But today, I met an entirely different person at Masjid Kassim, while attending the class. Could've sworn he looked... brighter... literally.

So I thought back, who the hell was I to condemn people for what they say? No one could know what's in another person's heart.
