There's a story that I think I should tell you guys about..It could be an inspirational story to some of you and to the rest of you guys that hated this story, do keep your thoughts to yourself..in that way, nobody can get hurt. Peace..
Once upon a time, there's a boy named Jake. He lives in Malaysia and studies at a nearby University College at Pahang. He is studying Mass-communication with 17 of his fellow friends. Jake is not the smartest boy in the class nor he's the dumbest dude around. He's just an ordinary student with BIG dreams. Okay let's cut to the chase..........
One of the thing that this Jake is quite a special guy is because that he's got a very competitive side of his that he rarely used it while studying or taking examinations. The truth is even though that he is a very competitive student but he is also one of the laziest dude around. Not dumb but Lazy..Untill one day..
Jake's class has a very complicated task up ahead that involves everyone in his class. It is a task that he and his classmates needs to memorize and read some Surah in Al-quran. Everyone must take it and there is no Exception! At first, Jake feels so damn lazy to memorize all of it and has no confidence in reading the surah at all..So he doesn't take this task very seriously.
At one time during class, Ustazah noticed that Jake is not doing his reading and memorizing quite smoothly. So she started to lecture him about the importance of this task. Not only that it involves almost 20% of his carry mark but it will give him some knowledge and skills on reading the Al-quran smoothly. She told Jake that he should take this task very seriously and put it on high priority for the sake of his future and his family.
Jake felt so guilty with his laziness so he determines to do this task much more better than before. But the word 'better' is not enough for Jake. During the class, Jake is struggling so hard in perfecting his skills in memorizing and reading the Surah in Al-quran but it isn't enough! Why? Because he noticed that there are other students that are more better than him. Some can read very smoothly without any errors and some can memorize almost everything in just a short period of time. This doesn't go well for Jake..
When it is his turn to start the task, he only manage to memorize 4 out of 9 Surahs in the Al-quran. He is not happy with this so he wanted to repeat the task again and promise that he'll be able to memorize more than just 4 Surahs. Ustazah finally realize that Jake is not just a lazy student but he is also a very competitive and a determine student at the same time. He just needs a little bit of motivation thats all.
So All Jake's been doing since the past few weeks is memorizing the surahs and practicing his skills in reading Al-quran and I can assure you that its getting better and better than before.
Finally, the time has come for him to repeat the task..This time, Jake is ready. He is ready to read the Al-quran. He is ready to start memorizing the surahs. He is ready for anything. Ustazah could see Jake's determine eyes firing inside. He just can't wait to get this over with and without wasting anytime, Ustazah has start the task again.
Jake manage to complete his reading in the al-quran and also manage to memorize 8 out of 9 surahs this time. It is a very impressive achievement! He can't believe it that he is able to do things that he thinks was impossible for him but he did it in the end and achieve it with flying colours! Ustazah was so proud of him for his achievement and so is Jake. She smiled at him as a sign of a congratulation to him and although the task is not quite complete and although the task is not that perfect like the others, but his determination in improving himself to be better is simply amazing. It was a day to remember for Jake...
All I can say right now is that Jake is very happy..and yeah that Jake is Me. Peace out!
