D.U.I.T

Duit is money called in Bahasa Malaysia. In the end of year 2009, i went to shoe repair shop in Bahau, Negri Sembilan to take my brother's shoes after leaving there for a week. When i asked for the shoes, the owner tried to find it out and then he said the shoes had not repaired yet.. huh..

"how come after a week those shoes had not repaired?" asked by me surprisingly.

He said that shoes had been given to his son while my brother sent to the shop and his son is always postpone his work till the last minutes. Thus, i had to wait for about an hour to get it done by him.

While i was waiting for the shoes repaired, i had chatted with him. The most interesting part that i want to tell you is about D.U.I.T. Every single alphabet has its own meaning and is related with each other.

What do you know about D.U.I.T? Are they Doa, usaha, ikhtihar, tawakal?

Base on that owner, DUIT has the meaning of

Daya (Strength),

Usaha (Effort),

Ilmu (Knowledge),

Tekun (Assiduous).

To get the money, first you must have the strengths either physical or inner strengths. Without the strength you cannot do any work. With the strengths, you should have the efforts. If you only have the strengths but not the efforts, you cannot get the money and it is wasteful. With the strengths and efforts, you must have the knowledge. It is useless if you do not have knowledge. After getting three of them, you should have an assiduous attitude so that you can get the money as much as you want. However:

Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one.
