The worst day at work must be this.
You were standing outside your boss's room when he said, "you have been given an opportunity but you have ruined it" and slammed the door right in front of your face.
Then you slowly walked away, knowing that you will never have a chance to explain.
Hmm. nothing could be worse than this.

About Nasha Aziz and the Man Called a Father
Nasha Aziz, the actress was sued RM10k by her biological father.
He sued her for the humiliation she caused him.
Apparently, Nasha was brought up by her uncle who is also named Aziz. When Aziz passed away, she cried over a question from a reporter and said she has lost her only Ayah.
The still-alive Aziz took it personally and further to the court, claiming that he will lose clients over his business of teaching the martial art.
He definitely is not aware that he has lost the daughter years ago. What matters to him is clearing his name from the ‘lies’. And a mere RM10k.
The defamation claim, he believes, shall ‘correct’ the perception of the public that he is NOT a liar. I am glad that he publicly and proudly tell people that he is not a Liar, that he is indeed a Good Man while silently defending the choice he made long time ago.
The choice of letting someone else wakes up in the middle of the night sponging the daughter’s hot feverish body instead of him. The choice not to see the first tooth that came out and the agony the baby is of teething. The choice not to see the first step his own daughter took and catching her when she first fell.
Whatever the reason a baby was given away when she was small, it is still the choice of the biological parents. Whether you were sympathy with the fact that your own sister can’t bear a child, whether it was poverty that you were afraid of while raising the beautiful baby, whether the attention and time can’t be spent on raising the baby correctly, these are all mere reasons.
If the biological parents tried to make up a few years later by taking the given-away child back to the family, nothing can beat the distance of the loss body warmth when the baby went to bed in her early two years.
If the biological parents tried to make up by showering her gifts or lavishing her with the most expensive wedding, nothing can beat the hugs that the baby lost every time she shivered with fright hearing the thunders.
And if the parents tried to show it to the public that it was actually the child who was a bad person, who was rudely kurang hajar, well, it is your dirty laundry, sir, hanging right in front of Padang Merdeka.
En Aziz, I hope the RM10k is enough for you to pay your lawyer. And your lawyer has definitely hung your dirty laundry long enough in the eyes of the public.
I hope you have a good answer when God ask you, what different is this Child to you that made you gave her away? What sin has this Child done that make you have the right to let her suffers through out her childhood and teens thinking of what is wrong with herself that made her parents gave her away? That make you have the right to let her feel inferior over her other biological siblings? That make you have the right to let her suppressed all the sadness and misery she felt of feeling ‘not wanted’?
I hope, as you have paid your lawyer hard money to prove the public, you don’t lie.
And to the judge who said that our society does not accept a person’s denial of the status of another person in the family if they are indeed family, well, you are also in support of a father who had proudly claim to the public that he has, few years ago, denied the right of that child to be loved and hugged everytime she goes to bed.
Nasha to pay dad RM10,000
By LISA GOH
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has ordered actress-cum-model Nasha Aziz to pay her biological father Abdul Aziz Mohd Ali RM10,000 in general damages for defaming him.
Abdul Aziz Mohd Ali, 61, succeeded in his bid to get the court to enter judgement on Friday (yesterday) in a defamation suit against his daughter after the actress and her counsel, Rashid Mokhtar, were absent for the hearing of the suit on Wednesday.
In handing down his ruling, Justice Abdul Wahab Patail said the court accepted a father’s right to say that someone is his child, if it was true.
“Our society does not accept a person’s denial of the status of another person in the family if they are indeed family,” he said.
Abdul Aziz therefore had the right to call Nasha his daughter, he said, and if by doing so had caused others to look down on him and call him a liar, then it can be said that the plaintiff had been defamed.
“The court accepts that the plaintiff has proved that he had been defamed when the defendant said ‘I only have one father’,” he ruled.
He then ordered Nasha, whose real name is Noraishah Abdul Aziz, to pay Abdul Aziz RM10,000 in general damages with an 8% interest from March 31, 2005, when the suit was filed, until the matter has been disposed of.
Abdul Aziz, a silat (Malay martial arts) teacher and businessman, is Nasha’s biological father while her uncle, the late Abdul Aziz Hathim, was her “adoptive father.”
He filed the suit on March 31, 2005, claiming that the defamatory words published in Mingguan Malaysia on Oct 24, 2004, quoting Nasha as saying that she only had one father had embarrassed and tortured him.
He also named publisher Utusan Melayu (M) Bhd and its reporter Tengku Khalidah Tengku Bidin as defendants in the case.
In his statement of claim, Abdul Aziz said that the article Jangan Tanya Hal Peribadi (Don’t ask personal questions) contained defamatory words.
Previously, his lawyer M. Visva-nathan had submitted that the article implied his client was dead, but Nasha had contended that the plaintiff had given her to his sister, Habibah Mohd Ali, when she was three months old and that her husband, the late Abdul Aziz Hathim, was ayah (father) to her.
He sued her for the humiliation she caused him.

Kahlil Gibran
Kahlil Gibran
I heard so much about this guy but never get around to do much research.
And while I treasure and recently found more of his quotes are profound statements like,
Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper.
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
If the grandfather of the grandfather of Jesus had known what was hidden within him, he would have stood humble and awe-struck before his soul.
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
I also found a few that is hard to compromise :
If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.
Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them.
When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Kahlil Gibran is actually a Lebanese migrated to the States and a devoted Christian. I like to assume that he wrote most of his poem in Arabic since he called himself a Syrian nationalist and voted for the use of Arabic Language as the national language of Syria. (Syria? Lebanon? gosh I am so dark about that part of the world ..gotta learn more). He however died in a place all of us know by heart, New York.
