LIFE IS AN ENDLESS JOURNEY LIFE IS LIKE AN ENDLESS JOURNEY, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHEN AND HOW YOUR JOURNEY WOULD END. BECAUSE THE ENDING THE JOURNEY OF YOUR LIFE ARE BASICALLY BASED ON HOW YOU MANAGE YOUR LIFE. BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW YOU WANT TO MANAGE YOUR LIFE? MANAGING THE LIFE ARE NOT SIMPLE AS IT EXPECTED. YOU WILL FACE VARIETY OF CHALLENGES IN YOUR LIFE THAT WILL GIVE YOU SUCH VALUABLE LESSON IN YOUR LIFE THAT WILL MAKE YOU EVEN STRONGER TODAY. HOW YOU SURVIVING YOUR LIFE ARE SIMILAR LIKE HOW YOU PLAYING A CHESS UNTIL YOU WIN. YOU NEED TO HAVE A GOOD STRATEGY WHILE PLAYING THE GAME. BUT SOMETIMES, YOU NEED TO SACRIFICES SOME OF YOUR CHESS PIECES IN ORDER TO WIN THE GAME. EVERY MOVEMENT MAY HAVE IT CONSEQUENCES AND IF YOU MAKE A WRONG MOVE, YOU WILL END UP BY LOSING THE GAME. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU MUST HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN WIN THIS GAME.

THANK YOU TO ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY, I MANAGE TO WIN IN MOST OF THE SPEECH COMPETITION THAT I PARTICIPATED. I LOVE TO GET INVOLVED IN SUCH THIS SPEECH COMPETITION BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT I SHOULD GRAB FOR ME TO IMPROVE MY COMMUNICATION SKILL AND AS TO CHALLENGE MYSELF TO BE BRAVE TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF MASS AUDIENCE. REGARDING MY ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, DUE TO MY EXCELLENT RESULT IN PENILAIAN MENENAGAH RENDAH (PMR), I HAVE APPLY TO CONTINUE MY STUDIES TO MRSM LANGKAWI AND GOT AN OFFER FROM THEM.BUT THEN, I HAVE TO REFUSE IT BECAUSE DURING THAT TIME, MY FAMILY FACE SOME FINANCIAL PROBLEM IN WHICH MY FATHER CANNOT AFFORD TO PROVIDE THE FEE AS WELL AS THE EXPENSES NEEDED TO ENTER TO THAT SCHOOL. DUE TO THAT, I HAVE TO SACRIFICE MY INTENTION TO STUDIES TO MRSM LANGKAWI BECAUSE I BELIEVE SOMETHING BETTER ARE WAITING FOR ME.

.....................................My little sacrifice pay it price.......................... PRAISE TO ALLAH, DUE TO HUGE EFFORT AND SACRIFICE THAT I HAVE MADE, I MANAGE TO COMPLETE MY SIJIL PEPERIKSAAN MALAYSIA (SPM) WILL FLYING COLOUR AND CONTINUE DOING FOUNDATION IN ACCOUNTING AT UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA.

I FELT VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF AND REGRET FOR THE THING THAT I HAVE DONE BACK IN NEW YORK. I FELT LIKE I TOTALLY A USELESS. BUT MY FATHER THEN TOLD ME THIS WISE WORD, HE SAID: “HAFIZ, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOUR LIFE MIGHT STUMBLE YOU DOWN, YOU MUST HAVE THE GUTS TO STAND UP AND KEEP FIGHTING.\" THIS WISE WORD REALLY MOTIVATE ME AND MAKE ME START TO BELIEVE IN MYSELF THAT ONLY ME WHO CAN CHANGE MY FATE.
