Motivation Quotation......

Aku meminta kepada Tuhan setangkai bunga, segar, Ia beri kaktus berduri. Aku minta kupu-kupu diberinya-Nya ulat berbulu. Aku sedih dan kecewa. Namun kemudian, kaktus itu berbunga indah sekali dan ulat itupun menjadi kupu-kupu yang sangat cantik. Itulah jalan Tuhan, indah pada masaNYA! Tuhan tidak memberi apa yang kita harapkan. Tapi Dia memberi apa yang kita perlukan. Kadang kala kita sedih, kecewa dan terluka. Tapi jauh di atas segalanya Dia sedang mengatur yang terbaik dalam kehidupan kita.............................................

Kerana ku terlalu menyinta- I like this research since I noticed it connected with human behaviour study( I can learn how to understand people behavior)

Ku menyingkir tiap keindahan- I never feel that I'm fast or can be complesant stage already
Ku lepaskan apa yang ku genggam- When I tense too much...I'll be enjoy with own way...
Tiada ku inginkan keraguan mu- try to be have may plans to avoid stuckness in research
Kian berpanjangan tanpa pedoman- I don't want to be down almost the time

Keteguhan cinta ku pada mu - my interest to this research make me no harm for...
Membuat ku tak merasa jemu - keep investigate to know it...
Seringkali pertanyaan - but when I stuck nobody
Yang cuba aku timbulkan - will help me otherwise
Pada mu itu hanya kebosanan - have to solve it on my own
Bagaikan ada kesamaran - I think the problem can be solved

Di dalam sinar pengharapan - if I try to give effort without give up...

Puas sudah mencari silap ku -?????
Puas sudah meneka hati mu -?????
Tiada ku temui -?????
Jawapan mu yang pasti- at this moment
Yang memberi ketenangan diri - whatever it is...remember to Almighty should be the best one...
