Hidup umpama roda. Cliche as it may sound.. I couldn't agree more. Yesterday you were probably right up there with those who made it, tomorrow you may not be so lucky. Today you may be riding so high, you feel like you're on top of the world..but tomorrow, it could all be gone in the blink of an eye.
I am not being pessimistic. Though i usually am..this is just a reminder. To always be thankful when the moment comes. To always appreciate those who stayed and helped you through it all. The ones who stood by you even when the going gets tough, so tough you couldn't even bear to stand. And to treat those beneath you, for the time being, with the respect they deserve. Be kind to those you meet on your way up, because you might just meet them on your way down. Most importantly, stay close to Allah especially during time of success..just as much as you would during your time of distress. Just stay grounded when you sit high up on your pedestal. Don't let the arrogance of winning it all cloud all resemblance of the lovable person you used to be.
No one is invincible. No one. Not even you, Superman =)
