lessons from the little one

'Don't ever be ashamed to learn from someone younger than you, make it lessons for a better future'

I made the quote above about 3 days ago, when I came back from Bandung, in Ramadhan, after a long time. As we know, the Ramadhan month is known as the month when we do a better pray, a better habit, to be a better person, either spiritually or physically. Spending the whole beginning (and most of it) of Ramadhan in Bandung make me a little forget about the true meaning of it. Being far from parents make us get less advice from our parents, and that's what actually happened to me.

In Bandung, I get less teaching about the worship in this holy month, I did my every day in usual, the difference are only 'fasting' and 'taraweh', not much. When I came back home I saw something different. Here, I felt the real Ramadhan days, when praying become a major routine, when family spent time all together, and when we remind each other to be better.

Somehow, I see my brother. My Papa kept talking on him, encouraging him, told me to follow his habit. He is 12 years old, hasn't Baligh, but his interest in praying are much much better than. He always does the Qobliyah Ba'diyah Pray, read the Quran every night, read prayer when doing something, but what I most adore from him is seriousness when he prays, not like me which make praying is only an obligation. God, I felt so ashamed for myself.

then I remembered something

"there was no word 'too late' to change"

all that I can do now is change. Change to be better, to be like him or more, because it was never too late to change.

don't ever be ashamed to learn from someone younger than you :) cause there's no guarantee that you're better than him/her

then, change! don't ever feel that it was too late to change, cause i will never too late:)
