Developing High Trust

Hi People!

It’s really been more than a month since i touch my blog.

Been quite busy with my campaigns. Dun really have time to update my blog.

Nevertheless, i’m still contactable via facebook and twitter!

Add me on twitter: twitter.com/eusof

Hahaha! Gotcha!

i know. That title is so captivating. & NO! I do not hate my life. I love it as it is. Although i know it could have been way better.

I was reading some blogs before writing this. I discovered that i seldom write personal things here. Well i try not to reveal my personal story too much as i know it may bore others. (Although some part of me says that people love to know what’s happening to my personal life. Hahaha!) Wait! Something just popped up. Never mind. I forgot the quote by Dale Carnegie. Yes i am a self developement fan.

Feeling a bit emotional nowadays. Good and the not so good of emotional feeling.

For now, i am very appreciative of the fact that APEX (Ace PSLE Exams) is helping Madrasah Wak Tanjong. I’m glad that APEX is able to render her contribution to more people. I’m truly gratified when this happened. Of course i would really like to thank those people who made this possible. Without them and Allah’s grace, APEX would not have existed in the first place. So thank you Hannah Loh, Azhar Ismail, Abbas Khan, Mas’Aini Isnin, Mas’uud Samsudin, Noor Sarah Abdul Rahman, Shaza Amalina, Shahiddin Ithnin, Hanna Taufiq, Azry, Bahari, Ariff, Zubaidah, Nisha Rafiq, & Ridhwan Basor.  Thank you people! Deepest gratitude holds within me.

And not forgetting the mentors who were there to support the whole program. I really appreciate them. I wish i could return them a favour however no favour is better than the rewards from Allah swt.

It has been quite an emotion ride for me. Well at least for some moments. Mas’uud speech during the challenge shield 6 gave me a wake up call -when i was watching a record video footage at facebook, really touched my heart. I am still thinking about the ukhuwwah and how i can play my part in the unity of the muslims and people in the world. Thank you for that inspiring speech that made me ponder yet again.

Another touching subject would be Umm Sofiyyah’s blog post which triggered me to write now. She said something which really soothe my heart. Thank you Umm Sofiyyah. Having you in our life is a great blessing indeed. My apologies to you should i have wronged you in many ways ever since you became an apex committee member. I just wanna say that i value your contribution and i hope you can give your utmost best like what you have been doing now. Thank you Umm Sofiyyah! My sincere salutations to you.

There several things that humbled me these few days. The Solar eclipse today was one of them. it made me think. Rabbana maa halaqta haza bathila, subhanaka faqina azabanar. (Sorry if my arabic is not right. Please correct me.) Dunno why the eclipse reminds me of that verse. Nevertheless i sat there looking at the eclipse thinking how great and purposeful the creation of Allah is. And may Allah save me from hellfire. Something that i really fear although my actions show otherwise much to my own regrets. I long the sweetness of being in love with Allah. And i wish He could give me back the state that i’ve always wanted. O Allah fulfill the wishes of my heart although i don’t deserve that little bit.

I told Sarah & the gang that i wanted to uzlah first before i get married while Sarah wanted to perform her umrah. Wanting to devote and avoid the material world (uzlah) only emphasize my deep desire to feel Allah’s love again. Coming back to the spiritual world is something i really long for. For the journey before this is the sweetest of all.

Despite my mischief toward so many people like Mas’Aini, Hanna Taufiq, Sarah AR, Farhana Bibi and the rest, i do feel a need to keep my mouth shut and just ponder and reflect. Whenever i do this, i will be reminded of Rizhan. A beloved brother whom i miss so much. Especially the times that we were very close.

His entries in his blogs always touch the deepest part of my emotions. I dunno how he does that. Just wanna thank him for continuing to write on although he almost give up. Alhamdulillah he did not. I’m glad i could relate to his entries although i feel “outcast” for putting a comment cos he attracts all the scholarly muslims in his blog. I am truly humbled about this.

Another thing is the thought of Ameerah Al Mutahar. She reminded and thank me for my previous post back in Oct ‘08. I was truly humbled (yet again) when i read that post of mine. It made me stop all my work and ponder again.

It’s been quite some time since i write a thank you message. I am very regretful for not fulfilling it for the month of Nov, Dec and January. Not that i have no one to thank. I have many to thank and yet i did not fulfill them. My apologies to all whom i owe a ‘Thank You’. And thank you Ameerah for reminding me. It was really very nice of you to do that unintentionally.

Something random. A video from TedTalk.

David Hoffman: How Would You Feel if Your Lost Everything?

Martin Seligman: What Positive Psychology Can Help You Become

“To begin my every action with a niat,

To be able to define exactly what I want,

To be so strong that

nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

To wear a cheerful countenance, a tranquil smile,

and charm every living creature I meet.

To focus only on the best,

to ask questions for the best results and expect the best.

To rehearse and rehearse; improve and improve;

in a relentless pursuit of excellence.

To give so much time to the improvement of myself

that I have no time to criticize others.

To find something that I like in my friends,

say good words to them,

let them see themselves in the best light possible

and know that they are special.

To put behind the mistakes of the past and

press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger,

too brave for fear and too wise for vain talk.

Life’s victories don’t always go to the stronger

or the faster hand;

They go to the one who has faith in God;

has faith in himself;

has good conduct and always think ‘I can’.

It’s in the heart;

It’s all in a state of mind”

Salam and Peace to all. . .

Here’s my thank you note for the month of november. This is dedicated to those who have been my pillar of support. I wish to credit these people without which i would be an ungrateful jerk. =)

Pardon me if i missed the names of some people.

I wish to thank the following:

1. Fadzuli for helping me out greatly in areas i am weak at such as my web development skills and that html and php stuff. I really want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend Smart Seminar where i met the millionaires and more importantly i get to know more Singaporeans who are doing internet business. Thank you Fadzuli for your sincere support. Unlike many others you really help without asking anything in return. As such you make the relationship invaluable -Priceless! I can’t wait to be working with you and learn as much from you. And not forgetting to pay tribute to you for all the things that you have thought me and for all the things that you have shared. Thank you Fadzuli. May Allah bless you always.
2. Thank you Afandi for your enduring patience with me. I know i am full of crap and lack of patience sometimes. Your deep patience and tolerance to my harsh words, made me admire your selfless traits more. I wish you all the best in your internet marketing business. And i want to assure you that i will be guiding you as much as you want me to. Thank you AFandi.
3. Hisham, meeting you at the smart seminar was indeed a blessing! Thank you for being my new friend which i treasure already. Your zest and determination and sincerity gives me a boost of energy to continue what i am doing now. And yes i am here all out to share what ever i’ve got with you. And i hope it’s mutually beneficial Thank you Hisham Zain!
4. Thank you Shafir for being a great mentor. I have never had a mentor who calls me and makes me accountable for my own decisions and actions. This is indeed a great asset to me. I really appreciate the calls and assistance you render and more significantly the morale support you embed in your words. Thank you Shafir.
5. After the PSLE results, i can’t thank enough the APEX Mentors for their effort and contribution to Madrasah Irsyad. Without you guys i think i can never stay on this long. Thank you for making things happen and thank you for wanting to make a difference in the ummah!
6. I want to also thank Melvin for sharing with me great strategies on PPC. Thank you Melvin for your dedication in organizing Meet Up T202. With God’s grace, i will assist you as much as i can to help the group grow. And Yes! I do want to see success stories from the group itself!
7. Benjamin Tan, Sir! hehehe. On a serious tone, thank you Ben for your selfless act of sharing all you know on PPC marketing. You are a true hero. Your deep earnings really inspires me and gave me the ‘i can’ attitude. With more of your support i know i can be as good as you. You are a person i look up to in this Business.
8. Hi Ivan Ong! Thank you to you. You have been very helpful to me especially when you correct my campaigns for me and give me great tips on PPC. I really appreciate your sincere kindness. Thank you for being an inspiration to me as well. I hope we can meet up soon.
9. There are so many i would like to thank which i don’t think it’s possible to write in down here. It will take pages and even the thickness of a novel wouldn’t suffice. My praisings also goes to Alvin Huang, Jeffrey Chew, Nizzura, Andy Henry, Stuart Tan, Simon Leung, Jet, Sam Cho, Andrew Choong, abg Boy, uncle Salim, my cousins, my relatives, those who sent me congratulations sms-es on Irsyad’s PSLE results, Nadiah, Iwan Yusof, Firuz, Mas’uud Samsudin, Azhar, my online buddies on facebook & msn, my new friends, Adeline, Edwin, and those people i met at Smart Seminar, and many many more in my subconscious mind. =)

Thank you all. And i love you people always!

PSLE results were released earlier today at 2pm. I am quite scared actually to go to madrasah irsyad today to pay them a visit.

Little did i know they are reaping the harvest this afternoon. I am very happy indeed. Nothing can describe the feeling for satisfaction and gratitude that i felt awhile ago.

I was speaking to Farhana Mushi as she went back to Madrasah Irsyad ready to hear the PSLE results for the primary 6 this year.

To my surprise and excitement, the top 4 madrasah students are from Irsyad. Alhamdulillah. Most gracious to Allah. Madrasah Irsyad also produced a student who broke the PSLE record history by attaining 260 in aggregate score. Congratulations Mus’ab!

Many were caught by surprised. They didn’t expect to get such marvelous results. I am truly glad.

Credits go to the madrasah for putting so much effort in bringing out the best in their students. Their never ending support to the students was one of the great pillars of success.

I would also like to applaud the APEX mentors for doing a great job. WIthout them, history would not have been made.

Catch some of the students being interviewed by Channel News Asia on tv!

Congrats Madrasah Irsyad!

Yesterday, Fadzuli was also there. Thank you Fadzuli for staying with me till over 12am to help me in my website. I really appreciate it. Credits go to you.

Of course not forgetting to also thank Afandi for bring Fadzuli along yesterday. I certainly learnt a lot from you guys and my learning curve was shorten, no doubts about it.

I can’t wait for our next meet up so that i can learn more from you, Fadzuli.

If i may just place a short testimonial for Fadzuli, i would recommend Fadzuli from Fadzuli.com to do your website with great features with professionalism. He’s the web master. Just take a look at his various websites. Advance and professional.

I strongly believe Fadzuli gives great value to his clients and he values relationships especially when it comes to business.

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. . .

I just want to sincerely thank Shafir Ahmad for guiding me By The Hand yesterday. Without which i might be lost and stuck in where i was before.

You have accelerated my progress and gave me deep insights on my adword campaigns. Although i am still getting low traffic, i will do something to change that hopefully.

Just want to thank you, Shafir, for spending some time in fact almost 3 hours to help me in my campaigns.

Hope to see you soon and learn a lot more from you.

Thank you Shafir.
