keep a stiff upper lip

Definition for stiff upper lip:  

Web definitions self-restraint in the expression of emotion (especially fear or grief); "the British like to keep a stiff upper lip". wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn i heard this idiom for the first time when i was watching Barbie as Princess and the Pauper.yeah i was a younger back then and i remembered this was a phrase commonly used for the british royals.(i know maybe i am wrong on this part but hey,i was just a KID at that time gimme a break) this is my 'idiom' of the moment. *bak kata those penguins: you see,in the Quran,Allah mentioned many times about how few people are ungrateful for what He gave . وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُورُ Dan sememangnya sedikit sekali di antara hamba-hambaKu yang bersyukur. ( Saba’ : 13 ) see..? and as those who are blessed with the gift of tarbiyah..you know what happens to those  who are ungrateful..? وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ Maksudnya; Dan ingatlah tatkala Tuhanmu memberitahu, sekiranya kamu bersyukur nescaya Aku akan tambahkan nikmat ku, tetapi ingat sekiranya kamu kufur nikmat aku sesunngguhnya azab aku sangat besar. as a conclusion:i am keeping a stiff upper lip in order to be grateful.to stay strong is the only thing that i can do right now. because i feel so helpless right now.everything i do just come out wrong somehow in the end.even now. and at times i wished if only i was back at those times when every tasks my friends and i   got was at the very last minute but we got it right in the end(another example of ungratefulness..-__-") i am scared of bad perceptions. But i know Allah is there,watching me.however how many times i cried and ask, "why me?". i know He has His plans. and i hope it's BIG :D because i am not unlike any other girls who had my responsibilities before.i had my doubts many times. i am not like them. i think differently i act differently my life is different than theirs. yet i think we share the same thing: we want to work on this d&t path. we strive to change ourselves  and others to change the world. and that,i suppose,is most important. i have been foolish MILLIONS of times so dearest adik2,being different and crazy'ish' doesn't stop you from having responsibilities.. bukan budak baik dan alim je yang kena 'sampaikan' be grateful!! open your minds.
