Kaki Pancing, umpan dan ikan.

Anda memancing?
Anda kenal seorang kaki pancing?
Anda suka melihat aktiviti memancing?

Aktiviti memancing ni memerlukan kesabaran dan juga kemahiran meneka di mana banyak ikan. Di laut, di sungai, di jeram, di kolam memancing, umpan digunakan untuk menangkap ikan.

Kebiasaannya, umpan akan diletakkan di mata kail. Tujuannya ialah bila ikan menggigit umpan, dengan sendirinya akan mulut ikan akan dikait mata kail. Itu tujuannya diguna umpan.

Bila ikan makan umpan, pemancing akan cuba menarik-narik tali joran dan seterusnya mengharapkan ikan dah melekat di mata kail. Satu keseronokan bagi pemancing ialah bila ikan ada di hujung tali.

Ikan tadi dibawa naik ke atas dan mata kail akan dicabut dari mulut ikan tadi. Ikan yg ditangkap akan dimasukkan ke dalam bekas.

Soalan yg penting di sini ialah, pernahkah pengail memberikan umpan untuk dimakan ikan yg baru ditangkap?

Dead or alive, tak da kena mengena!!!!!

This story is not about us.

This story is about how some animals solve their problems.

I will use zebras and donkeys to facilitate some understanding on how to solve a common problem.

You see, there was a herd of zebras who were under constant threat from a pack of wolves. One of the zebras came out with a brilliant idea on how to tackle this constant threat from the wolves. What they need to do was simple. Just make a circle facing each other. When the wolves attack, the zebras just kick their rear legs and ward off the attacks from the wolves. And, the wolves just back off from the relentless kicking.

Without the zebras knowing, a donkey saw what happened and brought forward the idea to its herd and all agreed. So, when a pack of wolves mounting an attack, the donkeys formed a circle outward, each donkey now facing the wolves. When the wolves attack, the donkey start kicking their rear legs. Now, instead of kicking the enemy, they are actually kicking each other. So, every donkey died.

In life, we should attack the problem and not each other.

It is easier said than done though.

Story telling.

I used to be a good story teller.

Not that very effective, but just good enough to scrape through life.

In the process I touched a few hearts.

One thing I learnt was that people like to listen to story.

You may have a point to tell and you shared with certain people.

In the process, some points were missing or misinterpreted.

Then your good intention went down the drain.

But, I noticed that the same point when shared by telling story, people tend to be more receptive of your ideas.

That is the power of story telling.

You just have to master the art of story telling to become a good story teller.

One trick is to be a very good listener.

One has to just listen attentively to what was not being said.

Yes.

The non spoken words.

Gestures.

Body language.

Spot the sign and ask.

Experience will help you go through that.

I was on my way to turn coals into diamonds when I found myself sidetracked by certain events in my life.

Priorities.

Three years have passed and am looking forward to resurrect my career in this story telling business.

Three years is a long hiatus.

Even hibernation don't take that long.

Now that I have a window of opportunity for a few hours in the morning to do something that I am fond of.

ALLAH has answered my prayer and a door has been opened.

Last Friday, Jan 17th, I had a good and sincere discussion about making a comeback.

I gave a serious thought about what was being said.

Everything was put on the table for everyone present to see, discuss, giving feed backs. 

So, today Monday the 20th, is a brand new day.

I am hoping that I can start telling a story before Friday.

InsyaALLAH.

Now I have a story to tell.
