Dubidubidu....

After some bundle of entry, I’d forgotten about sharing my wind-mind in .A.L.A.M.A.M.R.Y. (at a glance + speed articulation, this blog title sounds like .A.L.M.A.R.I…haha..a cupboard with chatterbox function. Silly me!)


I’ve got a motivational book named Motivasi Diri : Membina Imaginasi Cemerlang, and the author is Dr.HM Tuah Iskandar Al-Haj. It was inspiring notes & help to build self-esteem and being optimistic. (I’d just read the early chapters, & haven’t got sweet-time to continue. Gosh, MUST grab the geist soon!)


That’s all personal, but will be significant to all my fellow readers when you read further.

In your life, have you encounter incident/situation that is difficult to handle and seems impossible to be solved? Isn’t it about mind-setting/perception. Let’s explore….

“…Tuhan tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum, melainkan kaum itu sendiri berusaha mengubah nasib mereka…”

(maaf kalau ayat Al-Quran ini tidak tepat, tetapi maknanya tidak diubah, kelemahan saya).

God says although the fate of each creature is in His verdict, further on, the commandment insist that the person’s is responsible to guide his own destiny.

Yet, after umpteen time of repeating that phrase (over a thousand, four hundreds & thirty-one years of Hijrah), some of us still have shallow minded to achieve their golden goals in life. Saying that it will be damn hard, failure certainty, highly risk & other mumbo-jumbo nagging. HM Tuah said that we started to see the hindrance when we are too skeptic. It’s all about the power of imagination.

Rationalize this statement :

During toddlers, we are eager in self-motivation to crawl or even walk by ourselves & etc. At that time, we are even extremely timid about the surrounding. So, what succeed us to do all that? It was always our subliminal mind.

When we have strong willpower, determination & courage (plus continuous effort), great things happen. Without imagination & trial-error, nobody will expect to see & utilize a gigantic iron-bird (airplane), Moving pictures & sounds comes alive in a box (television) or even the mass dissemination of written scroll in a seconds (blog..hahaha!)

The western continent of this globe had realize this hundred years ago. The scholars and even layman had used the motto 'mind over matters' to inspire their daily life.

(1) “To be is to do” – Socrates (470 BC – 390 BC)

A socratians explanations of the quotes : I want to be a great warrior,

therefore I have to (learn) do so.

Later on, the idea is descended to the 20th century generation.

(2) “To do is to be” – Jean-Paul Sartre (1905 - 1980)

He is a famous philosopher that modify/ develop the quote, which explains a natural

process of doing an action for a long period will result a person being something. E.g

: if a person often procrastinate his work, he will end up being lazy and failure person.

And my all time favorite quote will be:

(3) “Do be do be do”–Francis Albert Sinatra (1915-1998)


It is a so-called humming (or something ad lib) in acapella songs. If you are not sure, take a look at Malaysian artist Shades with the song Malam.

So, when Frank Sinatra secretly commercializes the quote, most of people thought the ‘dubidubidu’ is a meaningless word & just to fill up bridge notes in a song. But when Frankie gets old & when people ask what are the his life quotes, the Ol’ Blue Eyes (his nickname) only smile and utter “Do be do be do”.

You see, how smart he is without even showing off. Anyway, Frankie’s ‘dubidubidu’ means he always thought of telling inspiration/ motivation to help people eversince he was young. He thought about it everynight before sleep & started to become reality when he signed for Capitol Records. His songs ‘My Way’ express the most about his intention. What an ambitious man!

And for all my mumbling above, I hope my dear readers will have the guts to elevate their life status. If you are still indecisive , don’t waste your time coz the solution will be only Ya atau Tidak.

Bak kata Jon BonJovi “It’s now or never” haha!

Akhir kata dari hamba pacar yang hina, anda Tanya la kata hati :

“...Hang nak buat atau takmau buat?...”

(replicate from Shakespearean quote : 'To Be or Not To Be' - Hamlet)

P.S : Tuhan bagi kita pilih, nak jalan Syurga di kanan atau jalan Neraka di kiri, tak ada jalan tengah2…
