Creative Mind


Bila duduk berbual dengan budak-budak ni, seronok dengar diorg bercerita "nak buat rumah dalam air" "nak cipta itu, cipta ini". Mereka punya daya imaginasi yang sangat kuat, KREATIF dan juga tak segan untuk kongsi dengan kita. Kita juga suatu masa dahulu sama seperti mereka, punya impian yang pelbagai, bila besar nanti nak jadi itu, jadi ini. Even masa sekolah dulu, kalau masuk pertandingan melukis, tema yang diberi 'rumah idaman' 'malaysia pada tahun 2020' 'egypt in the eyes of children'. Kita pun bukan main syiok lukis itu ini.

Kalau dulu time zaman 'budak hingusan', bila duduk main dengan toys, sure kita ada buat jalan cerita sendiri ala macam dalam cerita Toys Story *senyum*. Siap masukkan batman dalam petisejuk lagi nak bagi nampak real bila lawan dgn Iceman. (Saya cakap sebab saya buat =P) Bila main masak-masak dengan sepupu kat kampung, struggle cari sabut kelapa sebab nak hidupkan api, and then guna la semua sumber alam yang ada nak buat dapur, tempat makan, alas makan (daun pisang bagai). Bila main kereta hotwheels plak, sanggup letak buku, bantal semua bawah carpet sebab nak jadikkan macam bukit bukau. KREATIFnya kita dulu.

But now bila dah besar sikit, nak kata KREATIVITI tu hilang tak juga. Lebih kepada, dikuasai sifat malu (konon-konon matured sangat la tu). Malu untuk menyatakan idea, malu untuk mencuba sesuatu yang baru (I also have this problem sometime). Faktor persekitaran juga mempengaruhi. Kadangkala bila kita bagi idea, takut orang lain gelakkan, takut orang anggap idea kita tak boleh pakai. Tiada konfiden dalam diri. Apa yang kita tidak tahu, hakikatnya orang lain pun rasa macam tu. Kadang-kadang dalam sesetengah perkara, kita perlu terus mencuba walaupun masih belum bersedia sebab di situ kita akan dapat merasakan keseronokkan dalam mengeksplore sesuatu yang baru. Macam zaman kanak-kanak dulu. =D

Teringat dulu pakcik saya pernah terfikir idea nak ubah kontena jadi macam satu bilik siap dengan aircond. Bunyi macam kelakar tapi dia sendiri pernah duduk dalam bilik seperti itu semasa berkhidmat dibawah UN di Anggola. Kalau kita dapat kembalikan pemikiran KREATIF kita tu, sangat seronok bila berkumpul adik-beradik, dgn kawan-kawan bincang idea yang pelbagai. Kalau idea tu kelakar sama-sama gelak, kalau idea boleh pakai sama-sama kita usahakan. Tak rugi mana pun. Tengok contoh orang Jepun, kebanyakkan mereka sangat kreatif dan suka berkongsi apa yang mereka tahu. Saya tahu sebab semasa sekolah rendah dahulu kami sering dijemput datang ke Sekolah Jepun Johore. Kalau tengok filem pun boleh perhati budaya mereka, jangan duk asyik layan leleh air mata je.

Persoalannya macam mana nak jadi kreatif. Kita sebenarnya sangat kreatif cuma tak sedar sahaja. Kreatif tak bermakna perlu pandai design itu ini. Macam ayah saya bila dia duduk rumah bosan-bosan, dia mula bertukang. Tahu-tahu dah siap satu box radio kayu. Cadangan saya adalah, bila idea kreatif tu datang terus buat paling tak pun tulis dulu idea tu dekat mana-mana (tapi sebaik-baiknya terus buat) good things shouldn't be delayed. Tengok rancangan tv yang boleh trigger idea macam national geographic channel, kalau kecik-kecik dulu saya selalu sahaja tengok Arts Attack.

Nasihat terakhir saya, kreativiti ini perlukan kesabaran. Bukan semua orang boleh berjaya dengan sekali cuba, dan jangan bagi alasan "I have no patience". As a Muslim kesabaran itu sebahagian daripada Iman. So, teruskan mecuba kerana daripada situ kita akan jadi lebih baik. Till my next post. Think creative. Be creative.

Criminal Minds: Part Deux

I already stated my view saying crimes can be nurtured. Now the thing that we don't know is, crime can happens naturally in the sense that the person have some sort of disease which he can't control. This is what I want to share with you people.

Medically there's a condition called psychiatry disease which can be cognitive disorder or conation disorder. Cognitive is more to disorders of thought and perception like for example schizophrenia when the person said there are voices telling him to do this and that, or he perceive something which is not there. Conation is like the person brings the 'imaginary' thought into action like an arsonist/ pyromania (irresistible desire to set fire).

In a simple word mereka ni orang gila (sorry for the word I'm using). You can't blame them for crimes because they're unaware about what they were doing. Even though they are aware about it, they just don't know if it was right or wrong. That's why many people when they got caught, they try to pretend having mental problem so that they will not be punished for the crime (dan-dan nak mengaku gila, time lain bila orang panggil GILA marah plak). Too bad for them we have experts to identify feigned insanity.

So that's pretty much about crimes that happen naturally. I know we have this central dogma bila jenayah sahaja mesti orang jahat, bila bunuh je mesti orang jahat, but try to give ourselves a minute or two to put some thoughts for other possibilities whenever this thing happens. Jangan melatah cepat sangat. The most important thing is to keep reminding each other to be aware of their safety and well being (solat dan keluarga). We can make a difference. *smile*

Criminal Minds: Part Un

Reading all those news, crimes that happen nowadays one might ask "how can a person do that to others?". Crime is it nature or nurture?

From the moment that the child is born, he is under fitrah manusia yang sukakan kebaikkan. Then how come there are still crimes going on nowadays. This is the reason I respect orang dulu-dulu. In the quran and hadeeth also have mention something about "anak-anak ibarat kain putih, ibu bapa mencoraknya, sama ada menjadi majusi, yahudi atau nasrani"

So basically, I think crimes can be nurtured and it can also happens naturally (disease). Nurtured in the sense that the individual has had a bad past experience in life which makes him hate almost everything in this world. He grows up with hatred and vengeance. Just imagine, if a child was raised in an environment where violence is there and people killing each other everyday, he will assume all those things are normal. Rape, homicide, robbery, gang fight. We are the one that show them bad example. Kita gagal mewujudkan persekitaran yg 'aman', kita gagal menjelaskan yang mana baik yang mana buruk kepada mereka terutama anak-anak.

Our action towards others can also cause personality change in some people. We treat them like animal, slave, as if they have no feeling, a piece-of-junk. We enjoy doing all that, but the thing that we don't realize is this people that we bullied if no one guide them, one day they might turn into your-worst-nightmare. We are the one that ignore our brothers and let them go astray.

The point I'm trying to say here is, don't think or act nafsi-nafsi. "Ala crimes semua ni sebab diorg jahat la, tak ada iman la, nafsu gajah" but try to think about it this way " I'll try to make sure my neighborhood is safe, I'll try to help those who are in need." Have faith in Allah because He is the Most Gracious Most Merciful, He is the one that can protect us from any harm. And don't forget to smile, sebab kadang2 bila orang tengok kita senyum ikhlas Allah akan buka pintu hati dia untuk tak buat jahat. Wallahualam

Dari Allah kita datang, Kepada Allah kita akan kembali.
