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).

Too Worried letting go...................

Now I'm doing not to have some fun even though its my SPM week, but by the looks of it, you guys need some help, and I mean big help. adik- adik ku sekalian ni mcm tak pandai nak buat program untuk sekolah. The program that I'm talking about is the intraschool debate we're gonna organize. now if everything is going all right then it would be held on February. but as I meet Pn. Marzilah for the last time I saw that on Feb the school has all other kinds of other programs, literally about HEM. what I saw is that there will be Pengawas camp, Motivasi for F5 n F3 and other sort HEM activities pack in Feb. I'm not blaming Ustzh Marzilah, it's just that you guys some how has lost planning and we might need to postpone the date of our intraschool if neither of you guys focus on the BIG ISSUE!!!


So what it is actually, well firstly if you really do want to make a program, any kind of program, you firstly got to finish the God- knows- who- is- making kertas kerja. I'll be sending a copy of kertas kerja and Insyaallah post a sample of it. it doesnt have to be complicated, just simple and straight to the point. the faster you could do this the better. because if you can send it before My birthday (31/12), then it could be planed into the school activity and part of HEM activity. with just that we could ensure there will be no activities clashing with our intraschool and make sure we only focus on this. worst case scenario is that you send it on the first day of school, THATS THE LATEST!!!

Secondly, is the issue of money. Now let's just think for a sec. WHAT IN THE WORLD DO WE NEED RM5000 FOR!!! Blasted that money goes for some grand dinner, and worst part some of us might not be eating during that dinner because we'll be busy with some errands while some other people are eating away our money. If it was just for debaters, I mean school representative debaters, then I wouldnt mind, but awfully you'll be spending it for some bunch of people who you dont even know will actually help you in debate. Yes, maybe they'll enter, but the latest intraschool was absolutely great and I didnt saw any grand dinner. the participation was 32 teams!!! so do you get my point? we dont need to spend so much for it, where are we possibly going to get RM5000? RM 2000, 1000, is more than enough. IF for some how you still want to do it, then you would need every participate to pay RM 10 per person the least. who's going to enter? Budak Maahad have interest in debate, they have potential, but when they saw that there is a high fee, especially RM 10 then that interest will be flushed out, especially for we English debaters.

So now you get the point, Insyaallah I'll met you all back on the 17 of december ( My dads birthday is on the 16) after I end my SPM's. Good luck to you all. May Allah bless you.

Charisma: The Feeling Everyone Likes

United states President Barack Obama, Britain's Tony Blair, Microsoft Founder Bill Gates and Ikhwanul Muslimin President Imam Allahyarham Hassan Al-Banna are just a few of the many people on the world stage to be accorded the epithet "charismatic". Charisma, literally "the gift of grace", is somewhat allusive term that describes the personal appeal or magnetism that gives an individual influence over a large number number of people. it is also a term that is being used with increasing frequency in the business and political arenas. So what exactly is charisma and what might we expect from someone with charisma?

Charismatic people are able to inspire others, often by their oratorical(your ability to speak) skills. Also they have this unique ability to sense and to articulate their audience's emotions and inner feelings(macam Syazwani). They are intuitive and inspirational and are able use these qualities to cultivate a universal appeal(it means that they just know what people wants).

Charismatic leaders have a gift for defining a vision and moving people towards the future. Frequently, this is propelled by a crisis. In the absence of a crisis they need to create one, or at least make people realize something is a crisis. (that sounds disastrous)

People are often more forgiving when a charismatic leader makes a mistake. in some instances, it can actually endear the leader in that it makes them appear fallible and, in this case, more human.

Charismatic leaders are not born, they are created. Insyaallah I'll give you these simple steps on how you could make yourself a bit charismatic, of course you would more than these, but it's a start:

1. Make sure you know who you are talking to and how to talk to them. really if your talking to a chinese and start talking like an indian, they wouldnt get it, so talk as if you are part of them.
2. Respect everyone as an individual. no one is the same person, so dont talk as if they are the same person, when talking to a crowd dont adress them as if the crowds a crowd. talk as if you are just focusing on someone, they will really think your just talking to them and not to anyone else.
3. Make sure they really want to hear you talk. If people are forced to hear you talk, then you lose your element of maneuvering the crowd. and if they dont want to hear you talk, why should they bother to listen.
4. Make sure they know who you are and how special you feel to meet them. it just makes them go tinggly.
