Dearest Family

Some people think that life is a battle, its actually a game of giving and receiving (cant get it? neither do i)

In this epic, lets all pause whatever we are doing right now and ponder for a while. lets just let things go, clear the minds and rewind the last step that we took.

Debate,.

Literally, debate means to argue. Whats so special right now is that I get to argue with people that i enjoy arguing with; Fakhry, Azizul,Arif,Kimi,Amira,Raihan,Laila and Ulfah. though im not sure if any of these people enjoy arguing with me. to be honest, arguing is not good! therefore, any regular person will say that debate is not good upon hearing the statement. but what we shall delve into right now is the specific meaning of debate to one group of human beings; who they claim themselves as family.

In a debate, theres no such thing as we call individuality. its always a team (im referring to the parliamentary debate format that most schools in Malaysia are used to). it consists of four seperated individual person, with four different types of brains, and other internal organs. but to put together, these people combined to form a team. Dearest family, this is when the family part comes in and plays a pivotal role.

The team in debate is your family. Learn that by heart, becuase family resembles the commitment we thrust upon each other in a team. when you have a team consisting of a family, and then can we only appreciate and acknowledge each other. we learn to accept each other's strengths and weaknesses, and work out on that. by doing so, can we only improve ourselves and try our best to reach a certain goal; unity.

When we debated on the motion THBT debating brings unity, most of u got it clear enough of the general meaning of debate. debate is not just arguing, its a part of life, because life is a learning process. therefore, debate is a learning proces in which u share your thoughts, broaden your scope of knowledge, and discuss things on certain issues that somehow will make u become a better person in the future. it makes u grow up. but of course it would be a lot more meaningful if we do it with people that we claim as family.

Dearest family, each and every one of u holds a great future if and only if we appreciate one another and accept for what they are (but stil theres a lot more room for imrpovement. get it..?) for the upcoming new face, stop whatever you are doing and have it revised the first thing that u do before u do anything; its your intention (niat). debate is not everything, but its something in your life. use that something to create another beneficial something in other people's life; so that it spreads and eventually and hopefully it will benefit our joyous pride; Islam.

Its only the beginning, that im putting my hopes and dreams on your shoulder to carry it forward together with me.it ill be long, steep and tough journey, but it ll be worth it. because we are a family, under the same intentions of doing things right for Islam, on the same track to fight in His way... and the rest onle He knows better.

p/s; family out there,before u do anything, coming to the nearest debate practice or anything, think hard of this and get your niats right. What is it that makes u debate (certainly not my scoldings right..?). and What is it actually that u can understand from this family. put aside those misunderstandings, and ony other distractions that could make u fall... lets do this the right way...

Happiness is neither this nor that... its simply growth. we are happy when we are growing (still cant get it? neither do i).
