On a side note, just some random excerpts about maintaining optimisim in life..

“Janganlah kamu berputus asa. Sesungguhnya berputus asa itu bukanlah akhlaq kaum Muslimin. Realiti hari ini hakikatnya adalah impian semalam. Dan impian hari ini (itulah bakal menjadi) realiti esok. Sesungguhnya masa itu masih luas dan anasir-anasir yang sejahtera itu masih kukuh terpahat di jiwa bangsamu yang beriman, biar pun dengan kerosakan yang menggila itu. Si lemah tidak akan kekal lemah sepanjang hayatnya, dan yang kuat itu tidak akan kuat selama-lamanya” - Al-Imam Hasan al-Banna.

{Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the Help of Allah?" Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allah is near!} [Al-Baqarah 2: 214]

{"Oh my sons! Go you and enquire about Yusuf (Joseph) and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Mercy. Certainly no one despairs of Allah's Mercy, except the people who disbelieve”} [Yusuf 12: 87]
