How to be a Simple and Successful Malay

Continuing to my previous writing about simple always, I would like to share with you my hard knock university life stages. I just want to tell you that I do not have any university degree or someone who is going to educate you because the best education is in us.

I have gone through some of life ugliest moment to become what I am today. It was never a bed of roses but learning what you have gone through life would definitely make you more experience but not always wiser. You will definitely look at things differently from others. So one of the most simple thing in life should begin with always trust yourself and you are the best teacher and student in this earth. There is no one and I repeat no one as special and unique like you. You are created or born unique and there is no resemblance whatsoever in this universe like you. Step One: Always trust yourself.

How to trust yourself when everything you do or experienced look bleaks. No help seem to be forthcoming. This is the end. Let me tell you this truth about yourself. When you are feeling depressed, sick or even like ending your life, the only person who will feel what you feel is you. Others around you can console, empathize or even understand you but the ultimate feeling is you. Therefore you decide whether your life is good or bad. There is no one as unique as you.

You and I are no expert in the journey of life. We want to pursue happiness, success and even contentment in life. Maybe we are looking in the wrong places. You see that you are alone in this world. When you go to sleep, your dreams are your very own. No one else will share or experience your dream. So what is the right path. All path end with a destination. As many people would have learned that if you do not have any destination, any path will do. As long as there is a path you will continue walking aimlessly in life. You choose the path and sometimes we have friends, relatives or loved ones walking that same path but in the end only you will be left taking that only path you understand.

Another important aspect of life is education. Everyone said that you need education to be successful in life. Some will go the distant to obtain tertiary education needed to be successful in life. How many of us really end up with tertiary education or university degree. I think about 80% of us will join the work force and contented with what life has to offer. Is this what life in the 21st century is all about. You must be educated in order for you to walk the path of life successfully.

I will share with you how I choose my path without any tertiary education because life is always about choices. You choose what you want to be and whether you are happy or not is entirely your decision.
