I wonder why people keep on complaining, keep on blaming, keep on instigating and keep on point finger unto others?
I presume it is easy to pointing finger on someone else or anyone for our failure, mistakes, weakness and/or backwardness. Have we analyzed our own “SWOT” and/or find the solution or initiative to resolve it? What are the....
I presume it is also easy to blaming others when the person is on the top and/or success prosperously. Have we identified the ladder to success and prosper? What are the.....
But have we forgotten of how they all go up there or what have they went through to be on the top?
Would I be overstating it if I went out on a limb and made the bold assertion that we have lost our moral compass?
And as a part of that observation say that we have been holding up the wrong people as our heroes and role models for far too long! And it only seems to be getting worse.
As an Iban (Dayak) population in Sarawak, we are losing our ability to discern the difference between right and wrong, fair or unfair, just or unjust and be willing to take a stand and declare ourselves.
Traditional morality is our sense of what is right or wrong, fair or unfair, just or unjust.
A Hero In You - A Role Model In You
To go along with this it is also my contention that a “hero” or “role model” must be a disciplined yet committed person.
Meaning that he/she should be prepared to take responsibility for their lives, always tell themselves and therefore others the truth and as much as possible lead a balanced life.
Among other things includes having integrity, courage, charity, compassion, an ability to forgive and a willingness to delay gratification.
Beyond what I believe are some of the characteristics of a “hero” are a number of others:

- A man/woman admired for his/her achievements and noble qualities; one who shows great courage,
- Wisdom and fortitude to do what is right,
- Possessing and displaying the highest level of charity, selfless dedication and a willingness to put others first while seeking no attention for him/herself.
A role model is considered to be a person who serves as a model in a particular behavioral or social role for another person to emulate.
A person who is unusually effective or inspiring in some social role, job, etc. and so serves as a model for others, in fact very similar or synonymous with a hero.
Don’t blame Idris Jala, he doesn’t own Malaysia/Sarawak. In his daily routines, he has so many things to observe, analyze, work and implement on the table and other rooms.
Beside Datuk Temenggong Kanang Ak Langkau a veteran war hero and other heroes, Idris Jala is a role model for Dayaks too; from employee to corporate leader and then now a government ministrator. Have you ever dream to become a role model like him one day?
By the way, have anyone of you ever approach him personally and/or propose some initiatives to help the Dayaks?
Think for a second, where have all these “blames” or “pointing-fingers” or “instigating” come from?
Has it not come from You? But what has it got to do with You? Have you not done enough to resolve it?
Think and think for a second....
