Words are the most beneficial and harmful things that we can say to anyone. Sometimes words can be for someone's benefit, and sometimes they can be used for another's harm. It depends on who's saying it.
We interact with a lot of people in our daily lives, but we can't call all of them friends. The famous saying is: "Not every handshake is a friendship." So we need to be careful while using or receiving words.
If I talked about a good piece of advice, then certain incidents came to mind that saved me from a lot of harm. But the finest advice I've ever gotten was from my Chinese brother, who is almost nine years older than me.
After completing my twelfth grade, I wanted to take admission in a university that had just opened in my hometown. A lot of students were attracted to that university because of its variety of benefits and its elite-class population. I don't want to defame the name of that university, so I'm not using it here. But like others, I wanted to take admission there because all of my friends were ready to go there. My mother and I visited that university, and I don't know why, but my mother didn't like it at all.
I was almost 18 at that time and too young for any kind of decision based on my future. There were certain rumours about that university that were spreading widely. But because I was a teenager, I was not listening to reality and was just lost in the imaginative world where I was with my so-called friends. Well, I had a lot of argument about that topic with my mother, but she remained steadfast and didn't allow me to take admission at that university. At that time, I felt so bad and abusive, but it takes time to realise things.
One of my CZN brothers came to me and asked me the reason behind this argument. I told him that I wanted to take admission at that university because all of my friends were going there. He promised me that if I showed good results in my 2-year education, I'd go there. At least I got some hope that after 2 years I'll definitely go to this university.
Well, I took admission in another institute, and after one year, I heard that this university's licence was cancelled because the degrees were fake. I was so surprised and dispersed at the same time. Dippreseed obviously for my friends who were studying there. Their career went to risk now. At the same time, I felt really blessed for not taking admission there.
Sometimes God saves us from great harm, and we should not be sad about any life decision. I realised my mistake and even got the lesson that whatever happened happened for a good reason. At that time, I went to my CZN brother's house and thanked him so much, and then I went to my mother and said again sorry for the argument I had with her before.
So these little kind words you can say are a piece of advice that will save my whole future, and I'm extremely blessed, Allhumdulilah. All of my friends have started their degrees again, even though I've completed my graduation and they are all still studying. I felt bad for them, obviously, but I'm glad for myself at the same time.
Thank you for reading my post.
Goodbye.
