1)Why the proverbs ' Where there's a will there's a way' are meaningful to me?

To me, the proverb ' Where there's a will there's a way',meaning that -a person with determination, find ta way to doing something- give motivation to me. Why I say like that? These are reason to this question. First, it is very easy to give up when I confronted with a problem but perseverance will often lead to success. I try to think positive, don't to be give up.I must set my dreams with to be determined and find a solution to my difficulty or problem will usually appear. This proverb same with another proverb "If at first you don't succeed - try, try, and try again". As Robert the Bruce,he had tried any six times to free his country from occupation and failed. Whilst hiding in a cave and one time he had saw a spider try six time to bridge a gap and said, "if it succeeds in the next try I will fight again." It did, and he went on to drive out his enemies. From that, I get the self-confidence. I think I cannot to be easy give up if I want to success will be mine. I want get it. I want repeat my success as I ot it in SPM examination. God, I hope my dreams come be true.


2)Why the proverbs 'Opportunity only knocks once ' are meaningful to me?

The proverb 'Opportunity only knocks once ' carry meaning don't miss the opportunities that come. I always use when one opportunity come, it is because a opportunity which had came, do will comes again? I felt opportunity, which comes back, maybe have it, but do same the previous opportunity if you miss them? Seize an opportunity when it occurs for it may never happen again.

A similar scene would play around my creative little mind when I had remember about it, while I am in form 5, class session, my additional mathematics teacher had ask who has to be volunteer to be mentor to teach the other friends which weak in this subject, first I am doubtless to make it. Do I can make the best? I say in my heart. But, no one to raise their hand. So, the teacher must choose, out my mind, the teacher had choose me. So, i try to make the best as my hope's teacher. What I get? I get the benefits from it, many friends comes to me to teach them, felt appreciated. But the most importance, it make me more understand this subject. Thank to God and teacher give that opportunity to me.

My teenager life was motivated by such proverbs until I burned out. At present, I believe "opportunity" never knocks. It doesn't have too. Opportunity of any kind in any way is staring at us. We just failed to recognize them. It may be in the words you are reading now. Who knows, it could just be the hubber you interact with constantly or even the hubber you particularly dislike. All we need to do is acknowledge it and opportunity opens its arms to welcome us.

3) The proverbs 'Money is the root of all evil
' are meaning that the money is main cause of wrongdoing and problems.

I learned to dislike the rich because of this proverb.I suggesting what the rich can do to show more love for the poor and the needy in reinforced to this prejudice. I found out later that my favorite teacher even cited two of my papers in the class - get this - section A- saying my insights were excellent! I found that odd to me. Why she did not cited it on our section? Well, thus I became suspicious of the friendship had offered by the rich kids in school. And yet, deep inside me I wanted to be richer than them. I shuddered every time these "evil" desires invaded my mind and dispelled of them immediately lest I be damned to hell if I over obsessed to the money.

In last school, this concept became very real for me I am joined trips to urban poor areas in the city - all part activity out classes and community outreach programs. I blamed that the lack of money being spread out to the ordinary people. I blamed those in power for their failure to provide opportunity to those in needed. The next thing I know that, I was out there.

Now, I take it in the proper context to which it was originally written with lemon on the side. Who love the money can be a cause of evil activities but I doubt it has its roots on evil. The charitable institutions and foundations, of agencies and organizations or non-government established to help provide food, shelter, clothing financial assistance and job opportunities to those who need it the most. Money can be an instrument to help fulfill our respective missions in life. We need not fear it.

1) Let bygones by bygones
This proverbs is meaningful for me because it relate to myself.When I still in secondary school,something had happened to me.In the classroom,my place is behind a boy named Hilal.One day,I forgot to bring my calculator.Then he asked me if I want to borrow his calculator.Then I agreed.During additional mathematics class,my teacher,Sir Shuhaimi asked us weather we had see his calculator which have a green sticker behind it.I was very surprised because the calculator was same as mine.At the end of the class,I gave back the calculator to my teacher.Gratefully, he do not angry with me.When I entered in the class,Hilal tried to speak to me.But I keep silent.I felt very upset to him.He told me that he do not know anything about the calculator.He really regret.So I thought maybe it was not his false.Then, I forgive him.Let bygones by bygones.

2) It's never too late to mend
When I am in form 4, I start to pray in the dorm.At the hostel,all the students are not allowed to pray in the room.One day,about 30 students were called by the warden,including myself.The reason was we had disobey the rule.Then the warden punished us.After the punishment,I had realize my false.I promise to myself I would not repeat my mistake again and be a better person.

3) Experience is the best teacher
When I am in form 2,our teacher told all the girls student in my class to provide two recipes for cooking practical.So,I decided to cook fried rice and chocolate pudding.On the practical day,I prepared all the ingredients and start to cook.After I finished it,I had decorate the dishes beautifully and waiting for my teacher to taste it.When it come to my turn,my teacher start to taste my fried rice and chocolate pudding and she shown weird face to me.She told me that my fried rice and chocolate pudding was tasteless.I also tried to taste my two dishes.My teacher was right,it tasteless.I noticed that I forgot to put some salt in my fried rice and sugar in my pudding.The moral of the story is I will be more careful and will remember to put salt and sugar in my cooking.But the most important is taste it first.

A GREAT TALKER IS A GREAT LIAR...

i have an experience for this proverb at my previous school. I have one close friend that we call she as 'are-t'. i come to her school at 2007 as a new student. she came at me, and after that we be a bestfriend. at first, she is a smooth, kind and always help me. one day, she told me about her family. she say that she has a rich family. her father is a lecturer and have two car at their home. she also say that her mom is a good tailor and can sewing everything. a few month later, when we want to celebrate raya my friend and i go to her house. we want to order 'baju kurung riau' to her mom. we are shocked when we go to her house. she has a house like a village and then she just only have a mazda car. after we give a salam and talk with her mom, she just know how to sew basic 'baju kurung' only. we goes back with ours angry. why she lie us like that??i can be her friend though she is a poor. we can accept it. but, i can't accept her liar!!..so, i must to remember this proverb, a great talker is a good liar thats mean a smooth and persuasive talker may be a good liar...

A BIRD IN HAND IS WORTH TWO IN THE BUSH...

this proverb means is it's better to keep what you have than to risk losing it by searching for something better. this proverb is meaningful in my life. this is because i have an experience about that. when i'm 8 yaers old, i follow my family move to a new city at Terengganu. my parent was placed at sek. men. keb. Jerangau to teach the student. at that place, i have a neighbour that i'm very close with him. he is a fifteen years old. we always play together every evening. we also celebration ours birthday together. i see him as my brother because i'm the first sibling. after 4th years, my was change to kuala terengganu at different school. before we move, i want to see his face, but he not come to my house because of my fault..i'm very disappointed about that..until now, i dont know how to find him..i'm very sad!!

FAINT HEART NEVER WON FAIR LADY...

this proverb means that to succeed in life one must have the courage to pursue what they want. i choose this proverb because it's very meaningful in my life. i have the story about the proverb. when i at form4 student, i'm the new student at my school. i'm afraid to ask and answer the question at my class. because of that, i'm fail im my examination. after that, i go to the cauncellor and ask how i want to be succeed in my life. she say that i must to open my mouth wherenever i go.i follow her opinion. thought i just got half 'A's in my SPM, i'm very thank to her. now, i'm have my courage in my life.

Firstly ‘don’t count your chickens before they hatched’. It is mean that you must not be too confident that something to be successful. For me it not in studying or exam only, but in daily life as we work and play. If we do something with a lot of confident, but unfortunately it does not work we feel that we defeated. As I remembered when I form four last two years, there had monthly exam for students. Before the exam started, because I not stay in hostel, so I just make a short revision about that paper because I had read it a lot previously. With a lot of confident, I seat foe the exam and answered the question and totally felt that I will get high mark. As the result, I just get around 50 or 60 percent. I felt very disappointed but I manage to cheer up back. Start from that, I keep promise to my self do not count the chickens before it hatched.

Second, let bygone be bygone. It’s mean that let’s forgive and forget past quarrels. The story happens when I in standards six. This one of my friend, she very nice to me. After a long time, one day, another friend of mine said that her talk about bad thing behind me but she does not realize that I know her bad behaviors. I very disappointed she act like that and after that I just keep my self distant from her. It took almost one year to forgive her. I just say to my self let bygone be bygone.

Lastly, a fool and his money are soon parted. It’s mean that a foolish person usually spend his money carelessly. I’m not shopaholic person but I still remember before I go back to USIM, my family and I to shopping to buy things. At that time, my sister and I go to cosmetic department to bought compact powders, eyeliners and others. When it time to pay, the total amount was $72. We very shocks and I had to pay it with my own ‘duit raya’. I had took that money from car and paid it. The chaser just smile at us and I took lesson from that. Next time I don’t want to be a fool and his money soon to be parted.

Experience is the best teacher.

I choose this proverb because it teaches me to become more curious. In the other words, when I want to do something that is new for me, I feel more curious to do so. Then, I will know the best way to work on it.. For instance, I suppose to use Microsoft Frontpage to make a website, this is my first time to use it. Never have I ever heard about it before. Then, I feel so excited to make my own website. With Madam Halimaton’s guidelines, I succeed in making my own website. Now, I know the way to use this Microsoft. That’s why this proverb is so meaningful for me.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

This proverb teaches me to be a strong person when I in unpleasant situation. This is due to the fact that say there is a positive or hopeful side to every unpleasant situation. When I be tested by Allah, I always feel that there is always has “hikmah” beyond that situation. So, I must face it calmly and always ask for Allah’s forgiveness. Therefore, this proverb is so meaningful for me.

Let bygones be bygones

This proverb teaches me on how to forgive the others’ mistakes. In the words, it teaches me on how to forgive and forget what the others had done to me. Firstly, I am really difficult to forgive the others especially those who are not be honest to me. Then, with this proverb, I realize that there is no advantages to bear a grudges against the others.. Thus, I always forgive and ask for the others’ forgiveness. Nobody is perfect. Am I right?

1) A fool and his money are soon parted.

-Meaning that a foolish person usually spends money carelessly. Every human has their own desires. However, not all things human can be. Money is one of the important things in human life. Without it, people will be living difficult. But sometimes, a person who have money will not live well. For people who like saving practices-careful, they will always save their money carefully. For the ignorant because according to their desires, they will spend their money with things that are not beneficial. Eventually, they ran out of money compared to those who save their money. Thus, one should not follow their desires too stupid to spend money recklessly without thinking first.

I already told them the advantages of the matriculation penang but actually I didn't know about it disadvantages. What I know is matriculation Penang was top 3 in Malaysia and I was very glad if I can go there. I didn't want to go to USIM because USIM is the new one. I didn't know much about USIM. Lastly, after a few of days I keep argue with my parents, I was decided to follow my parent's order. I just silence and let them do all preparation to go to USIM. When I came to USIM, I can feel that USIM is the best for me. It is true that speech is silver silence is golden.

1) ONE MAN'S MEAT IS ANOTHER MAN'S POISON
- Meaning for this proverb is not all people like the same thing. This is true because not everyone like the same thing. Everyone has their own favourite and taste. Maybe something that we like became a dislike for others.And maybe something that people like, we hate it.Is it true, right? For example like my sister and I. Even though we are siblings but that's not mean we like the same things. For several things, yes maybe it true. For example, my sister love green colour, but I prefer pink. She love to read about fact and history but for me, it's really bored. I love to read book about motivation that can give me moral support in my life.We are different right? I think twins also have different taste as well. So that, we have no right to judge others taste. We have our taste, they have their taste. Maybe we can exchange our favourite among us so that, we can accept all things in this world.

2) EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER - Meaning for this proverb is the best way to learn a job is to do it. This proverb is really meaning to me. It remembered me to an incident that happens in my life. Several years ago, I have learnt to ride motorbike with my brother. At that time, I really do not know anything about motorbike. But after two or three days, I know how to handle motorbike better and I was able to ride motorbike without my brother's help. It was a great experience. But one day, I over excited to ride motorbike. Without my mother's permission, I went out and took my brother's motorbike. I sped the motorbike area my village and suddenly, I lost control my motorbike and I was hit a coconut tree. Finally, my motorbike was broken and my leg was injured. I be phobia with motorbike but several months after that, I ride motorbike again. But for this time, I ride carefully because don't want to be injured again. I was learnt from my experience.


3) AS YOU SOW, SO YOU SHALL REAP - Meaning for this proverb is you have to accept the consequence of your action. I always make it as my principle in my life. For me, in this life, we will get just what we effort. If we want something, we must attempt to get it. For example, to score in examination. To achieve successful, we need a big effort and have to sacrifice many things. If we spent all of our day with study, we could be able to score in exam. But if we are not study, not make revision, at the end we will fail. I believe reward that that someone will get is depend on their effort. So that, I always said to myself, "if you want success, you must study. If you are not study and be a hardworking person, just keep your dream to success."

I have a secret that I want tell you. It can be said as bad experience but it was beneficial to me. It taught me much about what is meaning of life. I kept it in my heart for a long period about 5 years. It happened when I was in form 1. Actually, I am shy to tell this story because it regarding my self-respect but I think the story happened in previous year and it can be example for anyone especially for those face a same problem with me.

It began with I got 4 A’s 1 B in UPSR 2003 exam. Even it was not good as 5 A’s but I thanked to Allah because He give me chance to get better lesson. So, my parents suggested to send me to religion school because they want their children learn much about Islam and gain . I was excited to learn there and Alhamdulillah I got a bargain from Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri (JPN) to continue my study at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Slim River (SMKASR).

The school was not far from my house about 5 kilometers from my house. So, it was easier to my parents to visit me and come if there is any problems. For 1st day I registered there, I feel so sad because I had to separate with my family especially my parents. When my parents went back to home after settle down my registration, I cried and cried and cried. Maybe I was the eldest in my siblings and this was the first time to separate with parents made me so sad.

About every day I cried for 1 month and made me think many bad thinks to get out from the school. I cannot adapt myself with the school condition. At that time, I did not think about my future, others feeling, friends or something else…..I just thought that I want to go back to home and want to stay at home. I did not know how to think well and with maturity…And one day, I took one foolish action. I go back to home with warden permission with reason that I was fever and want to go to clinic but I had used my friend’s outing permission card.

After I went to clinic for checking, doctor gave me medication certificate for two days..waah!! That was a chance for me to stay at home even for two days. I got back and I tell my mother that I did not want to go back to school because I got the certificate. I insisted to stay at home even my mother scolded me to go back to school. I went to home illegally with outing permission card and without my going back home permission card. At the same time, my friends tried to find me at hostel because my roommate did not find me on that day. Therefore, they decided to tell to hostel warden and after warden interrogated the condition. They knew that I went back to home without permission card. I did not go to school for learning and I miss many classes. That was one problem. However, if I come back to school and I will be scold by my teachers. This means, “If it's not one thing it's another”.

When I came back to hostel, I faced with discipline mistake. This called as “As you make your bed, so must you lie on it”. I did not know want to do and I did not know that will be a big problem. I had to face it even I felt scare and terrible because I must to face with discipline teacher, counseling teacher and the most important was “guru hal ehwal murid”…I did not know that my parents called to school to face with my school principal. That time was very very unlucky and bad to me. But what can I do, I had to bear it even it was too hurt……

For three months I was always advised by my parents, every week they visit me to support me to study there and in three months I changed to good behavior…alhamdulillah..and I can accept my fate to study there ….and I began think as a matured teen. Since the case, my mother and father always performed “solat hajat” to seek directory and guidance from Allah…my mother told me that she had a dream that one old man came to her and told her that one day I will get success at the end learning at the school….

I think the case will be the most remembered memory in my life because it had taught me many things. As man had said that, “Every cloud has a silver lining”. Until now, I still make the story as guidance for me to study hard to get the best in my academic..insya-Allah…amin…and...alhamdulillah, I got 8 A’s in PMR 2006 exam and 8 A’s too in SPM 2008 exam…I believe that any disaster or failure come to us, there must be reason for us. Allah had said in Al-QURAN IN SURAH AL-BAQARAH (“ayat” 216) that it means “sesuatu yang baik itu adalah sesuatu yang buruk bagiku..sesuatu yang buruk bagiku adalah yang baik bagiku..jika Allah menghalang kerana Allah yang mengetahui segala sesuatu sama ada di langit atau di bumi atau yang ghaib atau yang zahir”… I am sorry because I do not know the meanings in English. I am afraid to give the meanings in English because I am afraid I will give wrong meaning, word, or sentence.

1) Great talkers are little doers
Great talkers are little doers mean those people who talk a lot and are always teaching others usually do not do much work. Well, I have a friend. Let I called him as Aiman. He is a very good talker and he also participated in debate. No wonder, people like him.

Because of his talent in speaking, Aiman has been chosen to be a Head Boy in my previous school. Actually, I don’t like him very well. You know what, he just asks everybody to do their work but he does nothing. When I found this proverb, it reminds me to him. He is such a great talker but he is a little doer.

2) Birds of a feather flock together

Birds of a feather flock together means people of the same sort of character or belief always go together. For me, this proverb is important for a friendship or if you want to build a good relationship with others.

Let I share about my mother. She likes to go shopping and visits her friends during weekend as well as me. So, wherever my mother goes, I will accompany her because we share the similarities.

It differs with my sister, Kak Ngah. She dislikes going out because she will miss all of her favourite TV program. As a result, only my mother and I will go together for any function. It makes me feel closed with her compared than Kak Ngah.


3) Every cloud has a silver lining

If you say that every cloud has a silver lining, you mean that every sad or unpleasant situation has a positive side to it. If you talk about silver lining you are talking about something positive that comes out of a sad or unpleasant situation.

I have an unpleasant situation where I only get 7 A’s during my trial SPM. At that moment, I feel so sad and down because many of my friend manage to score straight A’s. Well, I know I have to manage my time wisely since I am also a secretary of prefect’s board. But prefect is not perfect, right?

I know I can do it. I know I also can be as successful as them since I am competing with all the smart students. At last, I manage to score straight A’s during my SPM. It teaches me that become a prefect should not be a reason to become fail. It depends on us because nothing is impossible to a willing heart. So, every cloud has a silver lining. You might be sad when you have to face problem but one thing that you should realize that there is something good behind it.


THE END

For the first proverb, opportunity only knocks once. The meaning of this proverb is do not miss opportunities that come along. After I end up my school life, I realised that I had been chosen to join the National Services in Desaru, Johor. I felt a bit worried as I had heard that most of the ex-student, who joined it, had change into another ‘character’ if they can not take care on themselves kindly.
Before I went there, I had promised to myself that I will never change to another person that will hurt my parents with my behaviors which I influenced during I joined National Service. On the day, which I gone to the place where I will stayed there for 3 months, I realized that I needed to be stronger as another people are not just like me. May be it is because I studied in religion’s school before, so, it is stranger for me to communicate with others freely. Then I accepted it as my adventure as long as I was stayed there. Besides, my teachers had advice me before to show a good behaviour to others so; they will have no reason to hate us.
After a few weeks I stayed there, I knew that I could accept that environment although it is exactly different from my life before. People around me knew my life style and they respected on me and my teachers also never force me to do something that I do not want. But, they always advised me to think; if I never try to do something new, my life will be such bored and no improvement, then if I do not grab a chance which come to me, may be I will never have a second chance to make it.
At National Service, I really had my own chance to try many new things such as monkey rape, flying fox, flaming walk, kayak and others interesting activities. The most interesting activity is I had a chance to shoot used M16. At that time, I realised that I was very lucky because if I have not chosen to join National Service, may be I will never have a chance to shoot use M16 or even touch it. So, I will use that chance as well as I could.
At the end of the programmed, I knew that I had been changed into a ‘new person’. A person who is better than before and a person who wanted to try such new things. Then, I thought people’s perspective about National Service is wrong. They always said that those programmed was useless and wasted government’s money. But, as I had joined it, I knew it was untruth. Maybe, after all of you read my answer, you will think that the suitable proverb is don’t judge a book by its cover. But, for me, my experiences in National Service make me choose opportunity only knocks once as the proverb for my story.

Second proverb is, losers weepers, finders keepers. It is meaning, if we lose something, we weep it, and if we find something, we keep it. During I was studied at secondary school, in form four, my best friend, Qomariah, had made decision to move to another school. At that time, I felt very sad as she is the only one, my friends who stayed with me since primary school. Besides, both of us shared the same hobby; read novels. We always exchange our novels if one of us had bought a new novel.
On the day she moves out from the hostel, I was having my practices for uniform’s competition. I felt worried if I could not to see her before she left our school. But, I was the lucky one as she had waited for me until I finished my practiced. Before she left me, we hugged to each other as we knew; it was difficult for us to meet after that time. After a few weeks she left me, I felt very lonely as before, I had her to hear all my problems.
One day, I had cried with all my heart as I had some problems, but I do not know with who I wanted to shared it as I could not share my problems with others who I not close to. Suddenly, one of my classmates came towards me and sat besides me. She had do not say anything. Both of us sat over there quietly. We were looking on the sky, looked the stars. At that time, I do not know why, but I felt calmer than before. May be because she sat with me, and I was not feeling lonely anymore, even she had no say anything, or may be I felt ashamed to her.
Since that night, we became closer and others called us twin because we always been together everywhere. I felt comfortable with her because she never forced me in anything I done, but, she will advice and gave her opinion to me. Now, I have two best friends who have different characteristics but, still can be a company. That is why I think, this proverb is meaningful to me.

For the last proverb, I choose proverb, every cloud has a silver lining. It means, when something bad happens, there is always some goods that comes of it. During I was sitting for my mid year examination in Islamic Science University of Malaysia, where it was held at stadium Nilai, my hand phone had been stolen. I was just realised it when I was tidying up my school beg. I felt very sad because the phone was the first phone I used my own, because I used my mother phone before. Besides, I had just bought it after I finished my school life; it means that I used it for less than one year.
Then, I borrowed my roommates’ hand phone to call my brother, to inform him about it and to know, how I could tell my parents. My brother said, just tell them the truth. After that, I called my mother, but my mother was driving the car and she asked me that she will call me later. But, I asked my mother to wait for my call and she do not need to call me.
At night, when I called my mother, my mother had asked me first, how it can be stolen. I knew that, of course my brother had told my mother about my hand phone. So, I told her the truth. I was thanked because my mother was not nagging on me. Then, she told me that she will ask my father to post the new phone for me. A few minutes later, my mother called, and she said she will transfer some money into my brother’s account and he will buy it for me. After a week, my brother came to my hostel and brought a new phone which I thought was better than before. Then I realised, every cloud has a silver lining.
