Sikap Prejudis
"Lagi Remaja Di tembak Polis" berikut merupakan tajuk salah sebuah akhbar. Insiden sebegini menjadi sensasi dan setelah seorang remaja Aminulrasyid tertembak oleh anggota polis dan menyebabkan kematian. Isu ini telah membangkitkan kemarahan banyak pihak dan menjadi isu yang panas sensasi. Siapakah yang benar dan siapakah yang salah. Tetapi umum sudah sedia maklum siapa yang bersalah walaupun belum ada siasatan di jalankan. Adakah orang awam negara kita terlalu bijak, dan pandai mentafsir sesuatu trajedi dengan hanya mendengar cerita daripada sebelah pihak. Mungkinkah ini di sebabkan pengaruh rancangan tv CSI yang sangat popular. Tepuk dada tanya selera. Biarlah kita sebagai orang awam menjadi rakyat kelas pertama, berprotokal, berundang-undang dan bijak menilai sesuatu. Jangan menjadi rakyat yang terlalu PREJUDIS yang mana hanya menilai kesalahan orang. Dalam situasi kes terbaru ini, seorang pelajar yang menunggang motor ( mungkin mat rempit) telah tertembak di perut setelah aksi kejar mengejar antara Polis dan remaja tersebut. Pihak akhbar pun tidak seharusnya hanya sekadar untuk mensensasikan cerita panas tetapi sampaikan cerita yang tepat dan bermaklumat bukannya memberi presepsi prejudis kepada orang awam. Kita sebagai orang awam tidak perlu melatah dengan apa yang berlaku, ambil ikhtibar dan tunggu siasatan yang di jalankan. jika pihak polis bersalah, kita ada undang-undang dan kita gunakan saluran yang betul. Tidak perlu mengambil tindakan sendiri. Kenapakah semua menunding kesalahan kepada pihak polis. Pihak polis telah mengadaikan nyawa berkorban untuk menjaga keamanan negara. terfikirkah kita semua apa akan terjadi kepada keluaraga anggota polis yang meninggal semasa bertugas? Tidak terfikirkah betapa mulia niat anggota polis berkhidmat demi nusa dan bangsa. Fikir-fikirkan lah wahai rakyat Malaysia , terlalu bijakkah kita membuat keputusan atau kita hanya terlalu suka mendengar cakap-cakap kosng yang entah dari mana faktanya. Jadi, biasakan yang betul & betulkan lah yang biasa demi memartabatkan negara bangsa.

The Mayonnaise Jar
When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students, if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced 2 cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things..... family, children, health, friends and favorite passions – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house and car.
The sand is everything else..... the small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is noroom
for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
So...
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
'Take care of the golf balls first..... the things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee
represented.
The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked'.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'
In Short I 'd say - DON'T SWEAT OVER THE SMALL STUFF.
