Just want to share about a talk that I've attended yesterday. It was an-Nur distinguished lecture series that be held at UTP chancellor hall entitled,  "Unbreakable: Tackling Life's Struggles". The speaker was Shaykh Waleed Basyouni, Director Texas Da'wah Convention, USA. 


He shared 10 tips to handle challenges in life.


1) Trust Allah in yourself
-He loves you, so learn to trust Him.


2) Ease comes with hardship
- When the things come to peak, it's not the time to quick, but to push, work hard.


3) There's a wisdom behind all that. 
- Why Allah put me into this? 
- He loves you. He put you resist with the pressure not to keep you down, but He wants you to grow stronger so that you'll be more valuable. 


4) Don't ever be blocked by your problem
- Life is like riding a bicycle. In order to keep balance, you must keep moving.


5) Make sure your problems would not defeat you inside.


6) Work out on why this problem happen?
- Find the root cause of the problem.


7) Watch carefully your words/ language
