...Bend...but dont break

When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back or return to it's original position, the word resilience comes to mind.

When used in reference to a person this word means the ability to readily recover from ........shock

.......kesedihan

......depression

.......kekecewaan

......or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's emotions.

Have you ever felt like you are about to snap...nak meletop...(my wife used to say"bom atom nak meletup")?

Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point?

During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions .

You felt emotionally drained,

mentally exhausted and

you most likely endured unpleasant physical symptoms such as..sakit kepala...gastric pain...palpitation..tremors..mata berpinar-pinar etc.

Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments.

The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend but don't break..........

A measure of hope..dan kepercayaan sepenuhnya kepada qadar dan qadak dan mengharapkan adanya "hikmah" disebalik setiap dugaan yang kita terima..... will take you through the unpleasant ordeal.

With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. .......The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.

Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break.
