One Friday Afternoon...

Today before you think of saying an unkind word, think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food, think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife, think of someone who's crying out for a companion.
Today before you complain about life, think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children, think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep, think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive, think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another, remember that not one of us are perfect.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down, put a smile on your face and be contented that you're alive and still around.


I don't remember where did I get this (poem?) but every time I read it, I feel that there a lot of things to be grateful of in my life. Even though I have to hear and read a lot of wonderful things happened in friends life, especially as i was going through their facebook, I believe that I should always be grateful at where I am now. Syukur, Alhamdulillah.
