The Window

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Saya ingin kongsikan suatu cerita ringkas dalam bahasa Inggeris yang baru saya baca. Tajuknya, "The Window"...

A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood.

The next morning, while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour hung the clothes outside.

She said to her husband, "That laundry is not very clean. She doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs a better laundry soap."

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbour would hang her  clothes to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice and clean clothes on the line and said to her husband: "Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."

The husband said: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

Pengajaran daripada cerita ini :

1. Jangan mudah menuding jari kepada orang lain apabila berdepan dengan sesuatu masalah. Periksa dahulu diri kita, kerana mungkin masalah tersebut berpunca daripada kita sendiri.

2. Berfikiran positif dan jangan mudah menghukum melalui zahir@luaran sahaja.

3. Lihatlah semua perkara dengan pandangan mata hati yang bersih, bak kata lagu ini:

"Pandangan Mata Selalu Menipu

Pandangan Akal Selalu Tersalah

Pandangan Nafsu Selalu Melulu

Pandangan Hati Itu Yang Hakiki

Kalau Hati Itu Bersih"    

4.Berpesan-pesan dengan kebenaran dan kesabaran antara kita. Elakkan daripada mengata di belakang tetapi nasihatilah dengan berhikmah.

Wallahu a'lam...
