Patience And Gratitude Is The Secret Of Success For Any Business.
We have often heard this secret, maybe it's not even a secret anymore. But strangely, although many know this secret, very few people practice it. or if you run, just carelessly and just simply say running.
This secret has been conveyed by Rasulullah SAW for centuries. Those who hold fast to this secret, apply it in every aspect of life, will always find success in all endeavors, whatever it may be.
Patience has no explanation or definition. But in the ancient Arabic dictionary it is explained that patience is when a fighter survives the attacks of his enemy.
You know boxers? When the enemy attacked him blindly, throwing punches continuously and relentlessly, what did he do? Usually he will block and wait for the right moment to counterattack. It's really an amateur boxer who when he was attacked blindly he even went along with hitting blindly. Then it becomes a street fight and no one wins.
When you watch Jacky Chan movies. When he is surrounded by many enemies, what does he do? He jumps here and there, splitting the enemy, and at the right moment he counterattacked.
Parrying and occasionally attacking So, this is more or less a picture of patience. Well, the problem is that we often think that patience is silent, waiting and helpless. It's like, when we are attacked, we let the enemy beat us to a pulp and simply say "I'm patient". Well, that's not patient, but ridiculous! Ha ha ha.
If applied in the business world, then when a problem comes, we don't attack other people, blame here and there, do things that actually make us more problematic. But we must be patient, analyze, wait for the right time to rise. Gathering all the strength for our next big attack. So that's patience. So, lucky are those who, when calamity befalls them, are patient.
As for gratitude, my ustad said is to optimize and utilize all of God's gifts as well as possible to bring benefits to everyone. Usually we think of gratitude as saying Alhamdulillah or alms. But gratitude is more than that.
Allah SWT said, "And (remember also), when your Lord announced: "Indeed if you are grateful, we will surely increase (Favors) to you, and if you deny (my favors), then my punishment will be very painful, Q.S. Abraham: 7).
When we optimize all the potential that God has given us, then God's blessings will be added to us, then God's blessings will be added, our profits will be multiplied. But if we just keep our wealth, bury it and not use it, then just wait that Allah's punishment is very painful.
So, now try to make an inventory, what blessings from Allah have we got and how to make the most of it. May success and luck always be with you.
