Mahathirism..

Assalamualaikum wbt..

Secara jujurnya, saya sangat kagum dengan Tun Dr. Mahathir. Saya sangat suka baca pandangan-pandangan dia di blog dia, Chedet.com. Walaupun 'political views' kami sungguh berbeda*cewah*, namun still he is one of my favourite. Suka snagat baca pendapat-pendapat dia kt blog dia. Boleh tgk how critical he is, how bold and how brave he is. Walaupun selalu jer x bersetuju dengan political views dia, tp opinion dia in term of governing, economy, financial dan international issues sangat menarik.

These past few months i found myself in a state of indecisive in almost everything. I can't make my mind on issues that arise. Even if i made up my mind, i'm not firm enough to stand up for it.

Kalau kita kenal Tun Mahathir nih kan, dia bila buat decision, mmglah tersangat firm and confident. Sangat jeles dengan confident nya.

Selalunya, bila saya membuat keputusan, akan cuba consider almost everything. Yes it's good to consider things, but the consideration prove to be a drawback sometimes, when it makes me full of doubt of decisions i've made. Selalu takut nak buat keputusan sebab takut the 'outcome' will be bad. Takut akan kesilapan membuatkan takut untuk mengambil keputusan. But really, in life you gonna have to make decision in every second of life.

Kalau tgk Tun Mahathir kan, bila dia buat keputusan nak buat itu dan ini, macam-macam tentangan dia dapat. Tapi dia stand on the decision he made firm enough and unshakable that he managed to make it come true. Bukanlah kata semua decision dia tepat. Banyak jugak keputusan yang dia buat salah. Dia bukan Tuhan. Dia manusia sahaja. Tapi ketegasan dia bila buat keputusan tuh mmg patut dikagumi, patut dicontohi. How many leaders are firm enough in their decision. How many leaders are brave enough to be visionary when others can't see his points yet at the moment. Sapa yang cukup berani, bila Tun Mahathir nak buat keputusan untuk tidak ambil bantuan dr IMF, when his financial and economist advisor advice untuk guna bantuan IMF. Dia yang seorang doktor (medicine) cukup berani to go against the opinion for something he believe so strongly. The Firmness and Bravery yang membuatkan dia seorang pemimpin yang orang sentiasa ingat dan kagum.

Lesson of the week, or month, adalah to be firm in decision making. Cast away all doubts that might falter the heart. Paling penting Istikharah selalu dalam keputusan-keputusan yang ingin dibuat. Seconds, Minutes, Hours..we need to make decision. Have to be brave enough. Have to be firm enough. The best decision that ones ever make is to make a decision.

Semoga Allah tetapkan hati pada keputusan-keputusan yang diambil. Semoga Allah beri kebaikan pada setiap keputusan yang diambil. A leader has to be firm..A Leader has to be unshakeable...
