~Small rock, Big ROCK~
There was a story between a professor and his students. the prof brought an empty jar. In the beginning, the jar was filled with a huge rock until any huge rock cannot be filled anymore. And the prof asked his students, "is this jar full yet?" His students replied "Yes".
"You are wrong, its not full yet" the prof said. Then, the prof put an normal size of rock into the jar until it is full. The prof asked the same question and his students replied yes too.
The students are wrong once again. The smart prof then fill the jar with sand until no more pore or empty space existed in that jar. His students said confidently " this it is full for sure prof!".
The prof was smiling. Then the prof fill the jar with waters that has the characteristic to penetrate into the small, tiny space in the sand. While pointing to the jar, the prof said "this one is full" :D
Priority and time management. Big rocks represent urgent and important matter while small rock represent matter that requires less attention and water represents matter that is not important at all.
Usually, we will fill our life with 'water' first. Games, movies, dramas, entertainments and all sort. These things that make us always run out of time, insufficient time to accomplish our real matter.
Al Asr: 1-3. This surah told us about time. Time goes along parallel with loss.
So, lets take an ibrah. Time that had been given to us by Allah the Greatest is enough. We are the one that need to be smart in managing it.
Salam dan Selamat Beramal!
