You know, I've never thik highly of myself... I always feel inferior and undeserving... Yet today, I'm reminded once again that we can't see our own reflection without a mirror... And that other people are the best mirror that reflects our image and our true self...
As you guys know, I belong to the IIUM MASUM Archery Team... And last week (or was it 2 weeks ago?), we had a meeting with our manager cum coordinator... I happent to be absent from the meeting because of my internship... Today, on my way to the office, I bumped into one of my fellow archer whom we fondly called "Abang Long" (because he is literally the eldest within our team)... He told me what the Captain (refer to previous post) and our manager talked about me during the meeting:
Faiz, the Captain:
I was moved when I saw the hand-made quiver he brought... Never in my archery career have I ever saw anyone who made their own quivers... That's why I asked my friend to lend him his quiver... Honestly, if the suitable arrows were not ready yet by the time we're ging to Labuan, I'm willing to lend him my arrow...
When he's good, he's really good... But when he's out of it, he's worse than an amateur... That's why on my opinion, while he still got the "feeling", we should push him so that he won't lose it...
Kak Ana, the Manager:
It's a good thing we have him in our team... Else the team will not be as happening as it is now, and I wouldn't have any idea whether you guys are really okay or if there's any problem at all... The officers thought that all the equipments were okay, but when I heard him complaining, then I know that it's not okay at all...
Gosh... I'm speechless... Those words were wasted on me... I'm just doing the most logical and rational thing any rational being would do (do whatever it takes for your passion, make things that you can't afford to buy, be honest if there's any problem at all)... But I'm truly grateful... Thank you Allah, for placing me in company of people who would give their utmost to help me out... Thank you guys, for simply being there and bringing the best out of me... Ihab (my number 1 important person), Madi (the sword and shield that always look out for me), Ayob (the best person I could ever think of to have an intellectual discussion), Naim (my second mum), Wana (my third mum), Anna (my business and marketing mentor and friend from Australia), Kak Aisah (the best coach I've ever came across), Faiz (no other captain can ever match his calibre), etc... I don't know if I can ever pay you guys back for all that you guys had done for me...
Again, thank you... And may Allah bless you guys from the day your lives begin, until the last day this world exists... Amin...
