CUL DE SAC

There's this saying that says "charity begins at home" but the question is where is home? Often, we succumb ourselves to the feeling of annoyed whenever some strangers come to our table and ask for money in the middle of our dinner moments. Some of us even feel a little guilty for not helping. Well, there is a proper channel for charity. Indeed, charity should start at home because that is where our lives began. Give more to your parents, family and children. Then, you should consider your obligations of taking care the society. Zakat for example, is the clearest channel any muslim should focus on. There a lot of types of zakat which many don't fulfill. Finally, you could spend some ringgits to the blinds who come to your table. There is no harm in giving. As a matter of fact, the more you give, the more you will get in return. God is watching and He is fair. 

Dealing with elderly is tough. However, if you understand what blessings in disguised means, you would understand that your patience will be paid of in many ways. If it's not for you, it would be to your family or children. It's not hard to be kind and it's not hard to be patient with elderly people if you align your faith in god and in yourself. You can do more. You always can.

Women. When you make yourself so cheap, guys have no desire for you. Self-guard yourself with dignity. It helps you go a long way to a better future. If you think chasing a man who has rejected you once is a sweet move, you got wrong. Once a man said no, he will forever say no to you. Move on.
