Family First

I think that there was a campaign held referring to the subject above. Encouraging the community to give a high priority to family matters rather than attending to other commitments (career, friends, hobbies). There must be something to it. If you expect me to list the advantages of taking care of your family, get the hell out of here.

It is hard to believe when you hear someone say that they have something more important to attend to (girlfriends, secret brotherhood, UMNO!) rather than their own family. How can you sacrifice your family over a community service? It just doesn't make sense.

It's like servicing someones car but your own car is stalled. How could you be good at one thing if the main idea is already a screw up? But some say, if the "thing" you attend to is for your own family's future, that's a different idea (source of income and benefit). So how do we make sure to help the community without neglecting our own family?

It's a tough question, but actually can be very simple. The common idea is to balance time and space for both parties. If it gets too complicated, avoid it. You can't be so sure when answering this because there's a lot of examples that would backfire this ideology.

For example, what to do if you're in the special forces (army) and have an important mission assigned to you, the nations future is at stake, at the same time, your life might be in danger (occupational hazard). It's your job. You're protecting the country, but you have to leave your family for about 3 months to complete the mission.

Gain: income
Lose: time (for family)
Benefit: nation's sake
Hazard: life

Are there any UMNO hardcores (makan UMNO, minum UMNO, tidur UMNO) that gains any income for what they did for UMNO? I don't think so. But why are they so passionate and too enthusiastic for UMNO? Salute to them.

Just don't make a fuss if some of your ahli cannot make it to your program or majlis or even a meeting because of attending to an important family matter (weddings, births, deaths, doa selamat, etc.).

This is your life. Any decisions you make today will affect the future outcome. Just be smart and don't do everything and gain nothing. It's true, there is a limit. We just don't see it.
