How to retire rich

I just want to jot down some random thoughts.

Watched the news on tv. Someone named Tan Sri Aishah Ghani, who was actually quite an important person in UMNO just passed away. I did not know who she was till just now. Some of the ministers and evenTun were talking on how great of a loss to the political world now that she's gone. Which got me thinking;

Betullah kata pepatah, "Harimau mati meninggalkan belang, manusia mati meninggalkan nama." Nama. Or deeds. The significance of your existence.. 

• What do I want to be remembered of?

I came across this facebook status, "You are what you do day in day out, what you do once in a while is not you." How true. How very true.

• So, what am I? What have I been doing everyday? 

Admittedly, my daily routines were very mundane. Nothing of great significance, except maybe beneficial only for myself. How trivial. Sigh. 

Anyway, the point of this whole post is not about getting recognitions from other people even after your death, no. Never do things for other people. Wait, this may came across as selfish pulak. What I mean is we should always do things for Allah. Purify our intentions. Which may sound easy, but I find it quite difficult. I am still trying.

From one of Prof Dr Muhaya's tweets today: "Bila kita di kubor yang tinggal hanya amalan. Jom cari pencen kubor iaitu anak yang soleh, ilmu bermanafaat, dan sedekah jariah"

• Anak yang soleh/solehah. One day, if Allah wills. 
• Ilmu yang bermanfaat. This. I don't really like teaching. I often find it difficult to convey what I have in mind to others, and this post is one good example. It's all over the place.
• Sedekah jariah. 

I have issues with delivering messages...I probably will write about this when I have the mood.

This blog has become so boring, I think it's because I'm treating it more like my journal (because I don't have one). But wth, I originally intend to write for myself anyway. However I was a bit surprised when a colleague mentioned that he read my blog. He complained that my writing was tahapahapaentah. See. I am really bad at this.

Oh well.
