Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just stand there.

But to move on is tough. The pressure is on. The words of encouragement are like knocks on the head. And the steps are so sluggish that we barely see the destination. Sometimes, to step aside seems the best way. But, when it comes to responsible, what ever on your shoulder, remains there. Abraham Lincoln once said,

"You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today."

Well, maybe we don't want a complete full stop. But just moments to gain back the positive power. We've been with kryptonite long enough to allow it to absorb our strength. Even when the past is haunting, the present is discouraging and the future is daunting, tears are just transient. Headache is merely temporary, and a perfect cure is all we need.

A walk by the sea in the middle of the night was rather comforting. Walking with friends you trust, with friends whom you've gone through a lot of ups and downs. They, who share the little secrets I have, and hold the biggest strength I need. No holding hands, but the feeling is well understood.

The night breeze was cold, but it seemed to take away some of the troubles weighing the mind. Beyond the dark, cloudy sky, the scattered stars remind us of our dreams. They shine in the darkness. They are always there even in the day. We stared straight to the sea. So calm but always a mystery, because whatever maddens deep down, the small ripples are completely irony.

The wave hit the shore and went back to sea, making some marks on the way leaving. It reminded me of life. People come, and when people go, they left a memoir in us.

There were benches beneath the trees, for people to sit and taste the serenity. For people to think about Him, to feel His presence. Whenever we feel troubled and distressed, we tend to go to nature. Because, either we realize it or not, nature bring us closer to Him. It's intrinsic, that people will go back to Him.

Problems, stress and perhaps assignments won't finish just by staring at the sea. But, it gave us a moment to think back reasons why we choose this path. Hard and hectic, we know by heart that it always is. But I believe whatever challenge we are facing today is a secret weapon for our tomorrows.

Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just stand there.

We don't want to get run over. That is why we are doing this right now. Be it studying till dawn, driving through the night or trying to please everyone, all we try to do is seek His blessing.

To my friends, if they said they understand, we said we understand it better. And if we understand it better, all of us believe that Allah knows the best

Hanya Engkaulah yang kami sembah, dan hanya kepada Engkaulah kami meminta pertolongan
