The `Allah in Bible', church attacks etc is what I had intended to write. But since there's already an excellent post by satD, which you should spend enough time on to justify the research he made, I'm writing about something else. Anyway, I had already written a bit about this matter in the form of a comment at Forbes to a commentary by...I forgot his name: Terrorism Arrives In Malaysia.By the way, this post isn't about the book cover above - The Soul of Malaya by Henri Fauconnier. Then why is it here, you may ask. No special reason - I just needed an image Heheh! But if you want to know, I have this book - it was one of the five given by Elviza Michele Kamal of the Write Away blog when she visited me during Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2009. Siap dengan bagi duit Raya lagi...
What's the moral of the story? Oh, if you folks were to buy me books, that would be great.. And it doesn't require Raya to give me Duit Raya - saya sudi terima bila-bila masa; termasuk Christmas, Raya Cina, Deepavali, Thaipusam, Hari Gawai, Hari Pekerja.. tak kira hari cuti, bekerja ataupun hari awak cuti sakit dengan MC bayar Hahaha!
Okay, now to the real post. I didn't write this - it's a post by Shaun Boyd at LifeReboot.com 10 Things I Wish Someone Told Me 10 Years Ago. I'll jot down the main points - it's an extremely worthwhile read, so I'll recommend that you follow the link and read what Shaun had learned and is sharing with us:
#10 - For the most part, what others think doesn’t matter.
#9 - Explore new hobbies and opportunities often.
#8 - Nobody knows what you’re thinking unless you tell them.

#6 - Leave every job on good terms.
#5 - Pay your dues.
#4 - Invest in yourself.
#3 - You can’t change anything by just sitting back and looking at it.
