Team work makes it happen

Assalamualaikum

I came home late yesterday as I was invigilating the exam that ends at 5.45pm. Soon came in Atikah, my eldest from work, followed closely by ayah, my hubs. It seems like everybody came home together. The day before, we have planned to have the grilled salmon for dinner. Sometimes, planning were not materialized due to many factors, mostly fatigue.

But today, we are going to make it happen. We strategize the work flow. And mutually agreed with the planning. I will prepare the soup while Atikah prepares the main dish, grilling the salmon and grill the potatoes. We work harmoniously in the kitchen. Bumping into each other once in a while.

And guess what, Alhamdulillah by 7.15pm, the food is already on the table. The salmon tasted good. The soup was perfect. The potato salad was delicious too. Alhamdulillah.

And this is our plate ......



Lesson from this would be:
1. Determination is the key to success. As we are very determined today, Alhamdulillah, we successfully able to serve the grilled salmon today.
2. Team work. If I were to do it all by myself, I doubt the food will reach the table before maghrib (7.30pm). However, since we are working in a team, Alhamdulillah this can be done.
3. Planning and strategy. These two components are vital too. In order to efficiently complete a task, a good strategy and planning is a must. If we have decided to do everything in a sequence, we will not be able to deliver the food before maghrib.

This is life. Life does not just flow on its own. We need to plan, make decision and execute it. We cannot live in a silo. We live in a community. We need to live harmoniously, agreeing in certain ways and tolerate with each other for any shortcomings or limitations.

Let's live happily.
