Gamification

Me : "Gamification!"

You: "Errr....what?...." 


Me: "Gamification! it means the use of game thinking and game mechanics in non-game contexts to engage users in solving problems" (copy dari wiki lol)

You : " So?"

Me: "Believe it or not, Islam itself is a type of gamification process!..metaphorically speaking"

You : "No its not"


Ok intro agak over.

A simple word, but in a context which we actually can relate to this world. Gamification, to be more general, is a way of thinking derived from the way people play video games. Having a sense and desire of competition, achievement, self-expression, personal status, selflessness and closure.
In what way does that relate to life? 
Life itself is a competition, death is a closure, and all that comes in between it is a flunctuation of our everyday goals in life and the life hereafter. We struggle hard in this life, to develop those achievements, we express ourselves with any means possible, and we gain personal status just for the sake of improving to that closure. However nowadays we struggle too hard, just for the sake of our personal needs and greed that we forget- the biggest achievement towards this closure of life is by doing everything done for the sake of Allah سبحانه و تعالى..

So get your game face on now, n start moving



Life's a game?

What is the life of this world but amusment and play? but verily the Home in the Hereafter,- that is life indeed, if they but knew

When life gives you lemons...

Note to self: Blogging was never my "hunch", n i dont really think it would ever be, but heck its nice to have your own "cushion of protection" n express your own thoughts whenever it feels right. :)

Life's no simple walk in the park. Nor its a dark path leading to somthing uncertain. Its a path of choices, some leading to slippery slopes, some so smooth and beautiful you never want it to end, and of course some too painful and unbearable even to look back at that harsh journey. Choices that no one but yourself can take.


However, whatever unseemingly road you take, make sure u take your time to stop and stare. How hard life can take you sometimes, there is always a time to just smile and give life what you have to offer

SO

When life gives you lemon....

“When life gives you lemons, squirt someone in the eye.”

“When life gives you lemons, chunk it right back.” 

“When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade. You use the seeds to plant a whole orchard - an entire franchise! Or you could just stay on the Destiny Bus and drink lemonade someone else has made, from a can.” 

“when life gives you lemon, take it. don't waste food” 

“When life gives you lemons, do NOT make lemonade. Lemonade is for losers. Make orange juice instead.” 

OR are you

“When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your D*** lemons, what the h*** am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! ! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!” 

When life gives you lemons..............what would u do??
