Alright guys. Today I just want to discuss about some random issues. Not to take this too serious ( just like we're having a conversation with the aroma of coffee. Okay that's nonsense)  even though the content of the discussion might touch a little bit about politic, economic or stuff.  But actually this might be our responsibilities to society or even to ourselves.

Last few days, my lecturer asked us, I mean my classmates. "If you're given an authority, what changes that you want to do?" So yeah, my mind keep pondering on this question. This is quite a challenging question and a heavy issue to be discussed.
For me, the changes can be in many scope. But the scope that I want to view is about our society.

 Ok. Let us imagine. One day, you walk alone at a market, specifically at a night market to buy foods. Then someone beg you for some money. Maybe, some of us feel sympathy and give the money to them. I guess that's a good value. But some of us tend to ignore them without any sympathy.

Before that, I want to share a story based on my experience. One day, my family and I were eating at a stall (somewhere around the world). While waiting for the food to be served suddenly, a man came to sell kopiah and Al-mathurat. I believe this guy was not from any organisation or being forced by anyone else to sell it. Looking from his appearances, he was looking for money to survive. I felt touched but at the same time sad because a lot of people out here are still struggling for money while others can easily swap their credit card. Can you see the border? The saddest thing is it happens in Malaysia. That is one thing. Then, again while we're eating a woman came and begged some money. My father said, it is good to give money to them, but in Islam our Prophet taught us not to be lazy. At least if you want to earn money, you have to work( halal one of course). Plus, government also have many institutions and organisations under Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat that pick the beggars and teach them any skills for example sewing, cooking, and etc. 

Back to the question. If I have the authority to make a changes in my country, I want to extinguish the border, an enormous range between the poor and rich. We need some other alternatives to help the poor one. Obviously I will not easily give them money. Maybe, they need to do something to earn money instead of giving them money and we dont know where the money gone. Im saying this to young generations especially. Its all about the mindset. First thing is to set our mindset. 
MINDSET LEAD OUR FINAL DESTINATION
