The Importance of Making the Right Choices

People say that our destinies are chosen since birth, but I do believe that our destiny is defined
by our choices in life. Yes, God already planned everything perfect, but He wanted us to make
choice even though He already knew everything. Why? Because He wanted us to learn and
put effort. Sometimes, life is not fair and there are always obstacles being thrown at us like
rocks in a tornado. We cannot stop the tornado or even the rock but only face them and find
a solution.

Assalamualaikum and a very good morning to the director of IPGKRM, Dr.Hj Nizam bin
Abdullah, the deputy director of IPGKRM, Pn Azlina binti Ahmad, respected lecturers and my
fellow friends. The topic that I want to talk today is about the importance of making the right
choice.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Recently, my friend told me “Nadiah, you are being selective in choosing a life partner or a
boyfriend” Well, firstly, you need to make a good choice because it shapes your future. It is
not a wrong thing to choose something or someone good according to your preferences
because it might affect your #10 years challenge after this. I do believe everyone in this hall,
are making choices in term of this issue, finding life partner. Because you cannot simply see
someone, then ask ‘Hey, are you single? Let’s get together’ No, it does not work that way.
Obviously, you are choosing that someone because of some reasons or criteria. So yes, you
need to choose wisely to ensure your future.

Secondly, in order to make good choices, you need think. A good friend of mine, is very choosy
regarding food. Or also known as picky eater. In my point of view, it is good for her because
they think carefully before they eat. Unlike me, who simply eat everything except those that
cannot be eaten like sand. Like my friend, she only choose to eat rice and chicken or rice and
beef soup, so it is easier and cheaper to treat her. Well that is only a minor reason. The main
thing is, you will use your brain, heart and everything in order to get the best choice. It is a
workout for your brain to think critically, the pros, cons and consequences of choosing
something. You will ask yourself, is it worth for me to choose this and take a leap? Thus,
making good choices is beneficial for your thinking skills.

The result of our choice might affect not only ourselves but also the surrounding, the condition
of something or the situation. For an example, the nearest event is the campus election for
JPP. I want to ask you a question. What is the difference between the allowance and the
candidates who are competing for the JPP? Well, generally, both of it, are decided by God,
because He is the one that give us rezeki and everything. In another view, the status of our
allowance or when will it comes to our pocket, is influenced by the government or HEP.
However, the status of who will become the JPP, influenced by our choice. So we need to
choose someone that can lead us, bring our voice up, willing to learn and can do the work.
Eventually, the choice might affect how the system in IPGKRM works after this and the most
important thing is, in the first place, we ourselves must choose to come and vote.

In conclusion, we make choices every hour, every minute and every second of our lives;
whether big or small, our choices are slowly putting us in the direction we choose or end up.
Making choices also makes us think and affects the situation and others. You have the right
to make a right choice and you define what rights for you. If you choose the good and the right
thing, with God will, , He will lead you the way. As for an example, I chose to be an educator,
Alhamdulillah so far, He keeps helping me until now.

With that, thank you.
