merupakan kata-kata Mama saat kami mengadu tentang kehidupan kami yang pathetic ini. Dia selalu mengucapkan kata-kata hikmah ini kepada kami setiap masa, tak kiralah apa keadaan atau situasi yang kami ceritakan - macam-lah kata-kata tue boleh mengubat sakit hati atau kesusahan kami pada masa itu. Duh!
Tapi, kami faham apa yang Mama ingin maksudkan - menundukkan ego diri sendiri untuk memberikan laluan kepada orang lain bukanlah satu tanda kelemahan atau kekalahan, because life is not always about winning or losing. Sebaliknya, Mama selalu nasihat yang "mengalah" tu sebenarnya satu bentuk kekuatan - kemenangan jiwa dan iman terhadap keangkuhan dan riak takabbur...
And because of these magic words, I am going to apologise to my 'younger' brother for being rude the other day. Though I believe I had the most solid reasons for hanging up the phone when he started barking (literally!) on the phone for a mistake that is not entirely my fault, I will quit my ego and give my pride up in exchange for a peace of mind. Well, who can stand doing something so stupid like what I did when the mother's "magic advice" keeps ringing in my head...? Huh? One can try, but I can't stand being wrong too long (even if I seriously believe that I'm on the right side here).
Wish me luck! And, oh, hopefully I don't forget this pledge. ^_^
