Think Big Dream-E18- Those Who Do Not Want To Change

Change Towards Betterment

1.The positive and continuous changes towards betterment in our attitude will bring us closer to our goals, dreams and ambition in life.

2.Our attitude and action play a big role in determining our level of success. It is acknowledged that each person has an advantage over the other but most of us cannot accept and concede our weaknesses.

3.We do not want to change. We are stubborn and strong headed. We assume that we are the best with no faults and defects. The others are in the wrong and not as smart as us. We cannot accept other people’s opinion, advice and criticism.

4.We know that in the present environment, we need to listen more than be heard more. However, we still assume that we need not listen due to the fact that we are smarter and wiser. We are everything. We stick to our contention of not changing.

Reality in Life

1.In reality, we are only human beings. We need to face the facts whether we like it or not. Indeed we do have weaknesses. As the proverb says, “No matter how smart the acorn jumps, it will one day fall to the ground”. The acorn will not fall once but many more times in its lifetime.

2.Why does it fall? All of us knew that the acorn was created by Allah SWT as a creature good at jumping. However like all of Allah SWT’s creations it does have weaknesses and it will eventually fall to the ground. As human beings, we may feel that we are smarter in our field in fact much more than the acorn who is good at jumping.

3.The fact that the acorn who is good at jumping can still fall, what more we as human beings despite the sophisticated technologies that can assist us, we still fail due to our own weaknesses. If we are able to accept this fact, then there is a good chance we can accept any changes that comes our way.

Tips

1.As Allah SWT’s creation living in this millennium, we should have an open mind. We should be closer to our environment. We should have access to various up to date information. If we need to change eventhough we do not want to do so, we should consider the necessity of such acts with the latest information available.

2.Maybe our previous experience, made it difficult for us to change but we need to consider those around us. If a strong rationale and justification requires us to change then we need to change. Only by changing, can we understand the new and alien environment around us.

3.All this while we thought, the good things can be felt and found in our world only. Only after changing did we realise that the world out there which was new and alien to us before is actually much better than our own world.

4.After fixing two mirrors to our brains , we realised that the world out there is much much better. We just found out the advantages of having the front and back mirror. The feeling of regret deep inside us the change should have been made a long time ago.
