One day, an ordinary freshman wished to be the best graduate at her school. Three years later, she got the reward, and even beyond her imagination.

In different year, different place, a passionate young girl wrote a goal just to accomplish a boring writing tutorial assignment. Having no idea for what to write, she casually wrote, “This semester goal: be an active student journalist.” The week after, she was assigned to cover some events for a media, incessantly in a month.

One morning in a new academic year, an enthusiastic girl determined to be rarely back to her hometown. This fellow went to college that was only an hour by motorbike from her hometown, so even though she stayed in a boarding house, she always went home every weekend. She thought this habit did not help her independence, so she stated her determination. As a result, the whole semester she had to go home every fortnight, because there was always something that kept her from her weekly going home.

Those are not fictions. I witnessed those occurrences, and even knew those people personally. What can we infer from those cases?

I know Allah hears everyone’s prayers, and He will not ignore them at all. I am always aware of this, and I have experienced such blessing countless times. Every word comes out from our mouth, and even every unsaid words are wishes. It means not only the good wishes but also bad wishes that may come true. Therefore, be careful with what you wish!

Calamities as a result of our own wish do not only happen to Merida. Other stories, movies, and even real occurrences have taught us to be careful in wishing, because such case might happen to us! You may wish to live the life of Riley, or fairy tale, and they may come true one way or another. Never wish for something bad, that usually pops up when we are not in clear mind. Similarly, avoid wishing for something that is not right for us, or that we do not enjoy to do.

Just pin this in mind that words are prayers. Do not overlook the power of your words, pals! You know words can hurt someone more than a knife does, but do you know it can hurt your future? Wish wisely! :)
