walk outside the lines

yesterday, when i was at bas station in front of my faculty waiting for my bus (T603).. suddenly, I met my old friend. he was waiting for the same bus as I am, then, we have a long chat along the way from the faculty to the hostel. 

in our conversation, he make me realise something that I've never realise before... 

before this, I keep telling my self that study in here(UITM shah alam) is not enjoying. every time.. I need to use the same bus to go to my Fac compare with when I was at UITM Samarahan. everything is simple. n I just need to walk from my hostel to the Fac. I think, living in Shah Alam is very tough. As I'm the only one in my class who stay KOLEJ JATI. and I don't have transport to go anywhere I want. I don't even explore the whole Shah Alam. I'm afraid to use bus. I'm afraid to go out by my self. I'm afraid to go places that I never go. 

then, my friend wake me up from my dream. he told me that, our mind will not grow if we stuck in UITM Samarahan. We keep staying at safe position as we all know, world is a cruel place. We have to struggle in order to success. yes, study and living in Shah Alam is not an easy work. but, as we go through difficulty, then we will find easy way. living in Shah Alam though me that I have to be independent. it make me think that I have to live outside the box.  

one interesting phrase that my friend quoted to me that make me think deeply into it... the word is.. 

students in the University is not to be scorer but to be valued. 

maybe we have good result in our certificate.. but ask ourself... how do we get that result.. is it by our own effort?? or from copying others?? we have to bare in mind that we study in University to gain knowledge. to fill ourself with knowledge.  so, while we are studying.... grab this opportunity to adopt as much as knowledge that we can.  one other things is, in our assignments, we try to do the simplest things that we can... but the things is... y don't we go for a more critical case... so that the output and input that we get is greater. 

As I hear the song title WAITING OUTSIDE THE LINE by Grayson Chance.. it give very significant meaning to someone like me.

You’ll never enjoy your life,

living inside the box

You’re so afraid of taking chances,

how you gonna reach the top?

Rules and regulations,

Get rid of all the hesitation,

force you to play it safe

it’s time for you to seize the day

Instead of just sitting around

and looking down on tomorrow

You gotta let your feet off the ground,

the time is now

I’m waiting, waiting, just waiting,
I’m waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

Try to have no regrets
even if it’s just tonight
How you gonna walk ahead
if you keep living behind

Stuck in my same position,
you deserve so much more
There’s a whole world around us,
just waiting to be explored

Instead of just sitting around
and looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
the time is now, just let it go

The world will force you to smile
I’m here to help you notice the rainbow
Cause I know,
What’s in you is out there

I’m trying to be patient (I’m trying to be patient)
the first step is the hardest (the hardest)

I know you can make it,
go ahead and take it

You’ll never enjoy your life
Living inside the box
You’re so afraid of taking chances,
How you gonna reach the top?
