Dear earthlings,
I'm an avid believer that if you work your a** off to do something along with prayers to the Almighty of course, then God will surely lend a hand to make the task easier...
And my belief has been proven time and time again.
Scenario 1
I have been vehemently emailing a certain individual for quite some time to ask whether it is possible for me to become a PhD student under his supervision. I think I emailed everyday. And I waited and waited and waited and waited...well you get the idea, right? He didn't reply my email.. Not even once..I was left feeling dejected..So, one early morning, I decided to wake up and pray extremely hard to God so that the person I emailed would at least acknowledge my emails by replying...
And guess what? The next day, I got his reply! Can you just imagine how ecstatic I was when I heard the email notification on my phone and saw that it was the email I have been waiting for..Alhamdulillah...
Scenario 2
Even though he replied my email, there seems to be no further actions...Being a person who likes to settle things as soon as possible, I was worried...So I decided to see some people upstairs regarding this tiny hitch..At first I decided to see the person upstairs on Wednesday morning since I had lab sessions to take care of one Tuesday evening, however, at the last minute, I decided just to go home late and see the person upstairs after my lab session...I mean, this is my future after all...and I can't rest well until I find my supervisor...After waiting for one hour, finally my friend and I got to see the person upstairs...Little did we know that as we went in to see the person up-stairs, the representatives from the university that I intend to go to was just coming out of the person up-stair's room...When I mentioned my problem to the person upstairs, he went out to call the representative and what do you know? We are now working closely to get the best possible supervisor for my future PhD and they are working very hard to securing me an unconditional offer from the university...When I said to the person upstairs, it was by chance that I came to see him on the same day and at the same time that the university's representative came to see him, he said that luck comes to those who work hard..Alhamdulillah again...
Scenario 3
It has been 2 semesters since I last became a facilitator for a Finishing School program...so, being me, I like to go prepared..I did my homework, I went through the materials, I collected necessary videos and powerpoint presentations...
I also decided to try something new. Since the program was held on a Saturday and we all know that The Star has a myriad of job advertisements on a Saturday copy, I bought 6 copies of The Star so that the students can work in groups to identify the job that they want to have once they graduated..To my delight, when I opened the copy of the mystarjob, it had all the elements that I have prepared beforehand, there's articles on internship, on the importance of personal branding and a whole load of things that I wanted to talk about...What are the odds, right? Oh, did I mention that the program was supposed to be held 2 weeks earlier but du to some unforeseen circumstances, we postponed it to last Saturday...Alhamdulillah...
So my dear future self, if you are ever in doubt, turn to Him..He will never let you down..
Yours Truly,
Adventure Addict
