Pesan WA Bisa Begitu Powerful Part One

Tidak jarang, bahkan sering, seorang sahabat meng-share sebuah pesan via WA. Salah satu yang terbaik yang pernah saya dapat berjudul: 'Keberuntungan' yang penulisnya dinisbahkan kepada Ibu Quraish Shihab (semoga Allah memberkati beliau)... saya mencoba menerjemahkannya ke dalam Bahasa Inggris yang ala kadarnya (hehehehe). Mugi manfaat.

Part One


“Luckiness” sometimes happens in mysterious ways.
‘Your coming late’ sometimes ‘saves’ your life.
‘The postponement of your wedding’ might be ‘a blessing’.
‘Your being fired from a job’  could be ‘a mercy’.
‘Your having no baby’ may be ‘a blessing in disguise’.

Often, ‘you hate a thing’ but the thing is good for you.
Allah knows the things you don’t, does He?
That’s why, be not too restless for what happen to you. 
Everything happens because Allah wants it so.
Don’t complain too much. Complaining increases restlessness.
Be grateful. Say Alhamdulillah. It generates happiness.
Say Alhamdulillah over and over, until you cannot say it again.
When you go to bed without medicine; 
when you wake up because of one single sound; 
when you open your eyes and see no medical equipment in your body, 
know for sure that you live a happy life.

Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, 
say it over and over again.
Don’t look back in anger!  The past might haunt you.
Stop looking ahead too often! The future may scare you.
Instead, look above! May you find Allah there and be happy afterwards.

You don’t need to be popular and have many friends. 
A lion, the king of the jungle, often walks alone while sheeps walk collectively.
 So are your fingers: little finger, ring finger, middle finger, and index finger stay close together. 
The thumb stands alone.
Without the thumb, other fingers could not function optimally.
What matters is not the quantity of your friends but the love and value that you can share.
