Salam,
Today, I receive an email from my superior when I was working with GH. He is one of the best people who I have been working with, apart from my degree's academic advisor. I am so blessed to know such a person who is so calm and humble, always showered us (junior researchers) with advices and guidance, good management skills and off course, a brilliant one. In his email, he said something that snapped me at once, because of what he said is always true, especially after my confession to him during my last visit to his grand office. I am not ashamed at all, to admit that at one point of my life, my anger used to control my life and decision. Wisdom was not my strong character, plus, I was a rebellion. For me, rules are made to be broken.
Over the years, especially in USA, I met humble, down-to-earth people that informally teach me to respect people specialty and expertise, regardless of their status of education. Being a PhD holder in one field does not simply mean you are an expert in everything as you might think. He never fails to remind me that, always being moderate on what you say. I learned from him how to not haughtily speak, which I try not to most of the times, except before a braggart person. I realized that complaining is my middle name, but I always pray to Allah S.W.T, please avoid me from being such a person showing no gratitude. I try to control my anger, despite not to the fullest degree; I learned to reduce the bad attitude gradually. Nevertheless, if I ever said or acted so, please please please forgive me, as it was accidental.
I accept his advice with an open heart and appreciation, because I know he deeply cares for me. To Tuan Haji Mohd Pilus Zamri, you may not read this, but I pray to Allah S.W.T to bless you and your family with His mercy and love.
