REFLECTION
No words to thank God because was giving me a lot of challenges and strange to finish this assignment. This is reality that there are no easy ways

to success, trouble, problem and difficulties will come to us, only our self must control our emotion and take it as advantage. In my effort to finish up this assignment, I face a lot of problem. My English is not too good but not too bad. So I must work hard and struggle to understand and organize all my work. I ask my friend who are excellent in English to help me a lot of things. They help me to translate the text because I cant understand fully the meaning of the text given. In the same time, I have a few assignments from the other subjects to be settling down. Actually I am just coming back from outdoor activity which is Program Bina Insan Guru. Coming back from Tasik Kenyir, I am not feeling very well. Because of that, I cant finish my assignment very well. Im so sorry. But Im not giving up just like that. With out sacrifice, we cant get the success. Everyone have a dream. My dream is to be a success person. The success is my aim. I sacrifice my sleep, money, time and energy to make sure my assignment finish sharp on time. Lastly thank you to my beloved lecturer, Encik Rahim Bin Mohd Noh and my fellow friends who are supporting and advising me in effort to finish my course work. To other students who had giving their hand, thank you very much.
