My Idol
My idol. My idol.... ?. Who's my idol actually.I really don't know to be honest because i really do have massive collection of my personal favorite idol's. From movies actors and actresses to sports athletes to my close friends like for example Brad Pitt, Lee Chong Wei,Miss Shamala (my english teacher from high school) and many more.
I don't know:)
Well for the sake of this blog, i can think a person that i can idolized. The person that i admire that dear to my heart is my father. I know this is a bit cliche but it is the truth actually because like i said i have many favorite idol's but they are nothing compared to my father.Let me explain.
Before that, let me introduce my dad, his name is Darth Vader. His a Sith Lord of The Galactic Empire.IT'S NOT POSSIBLE ... !!!! NOOOOOOO...!!!!!!! (Star Wars Episode 5 reference) just kidding. My dad's name is Mohammad Shahar Bin Yope @ Yayha. His was and raised from Penang , Bukit Mertajam. He is the second child of 5 siblings and was raised by his parents. My father comes from a poor family background same goes to my mother's side who was born in Perak . Back to my dad story telling, alright, my dad had rough childhood back then , he was poor and have a lot difficult problems in life . Did i ever tell you that my father doesn't have a house . Yeah it's true.
My father parents were poor and have to stay at his aunt's house somewhere in Bukit Mertajam and stay there for sometime. That time i ask my dad why didn't you have your own house. He reply my parents are poor and doesn't have any money to buy a house. Then i stair at him for a while. Then he said to me,'' you should be thankful that you have a roof over your head when you just a boy"he continue '' by the time that your grandfather was out for work and your grand mother was doing housework at my aunt's house, you know what i did ? '' . '' I read books''. He explained to me how he spend his free times . He said that he read books that never ever heard off before . My father was not very smart because of the limited knowledge during his time but he managed to find a way to overcome his weaknesses on his study by reading a lot a books that he couldn't understand and that's in English of course . But he is still determined to study everyday even though he couldn't catch up fast enough but at end of the day he succeeded and manage to enroll in a boarding school in Kulim , Kedah . He learn his way up to be successful while just studying with just ligthing lamps. What i can sum up of it of his experience is that he learn how to manage his time to study and use all of the available limited resources to gain knowledge. I give my respect to my father of his determination to seek knowledge and take it as lessons for me to study hard , work hard and do a lot of revision so that i can be better person . That's one my reason i choose my father as my idol.
Next, my dad isn't the popular type with other people, he's the type with an angry personality. He always gets fed up when things are not the way it should be. Like example, people littering in public, the way Malaysian driving and boys this days becomes soft all of a sudden. He always nagging of all the misdoing of people and he's trying to correct it but not the right way. This make people disagree and not satisfied with his words but to me he is telling the truth but in harsh way . He always scolded and corrected me when i doing something wrong. At first it was annoying and stressful when he do that to me, yeah that's when i was young but when i getting older i started to aware on what's he trying to say of all this year. Till on this day , i still obey on his command and need his guidance so that i will not fall into wrong path and feel regret in the future.
Finally, where comes to responsibility my dad surely do have one. Why i make that statement because he is . To my family , my dad is hardworking person. He wakes up early in the morning and comes home late at night so that he earn some means so that he can provide the family need's. He sacrifice a lot of his time with the family and work hard . I ask him when i was little, why he always come home late ? he said " i have to because i made promise with your mom that i'll take care of you and you have to care of me when i'm old" he added. I feel lucky that i have dad who is willing to do anything to maintain his family so that's what keeps me motivated to work harder for a honest living and face the challenges that laid ahead.
