I cannot imagine working off-shore no matter what the financial attraction is. <br /><br />An experience you went through exhibited your qualities in many ways. You can evaluate them and be proud to tell yourself with conviction that you are this and this, and not that and that.<br /><br />But I do not wish to be evaluated that way. I play safe; a coward, maybe. Aren't you going to write a full posting of that heroic event?Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-70942241797977384372011-12-21T07:28:31.530+08:002011-12-21T07:28:31.530+08:00Dear Pak Cik,

A storm had come in during the night, causing our 40m long barge to break free from its moorings. The waves pushed it ashore and it got stuck by some rocks just a few metres from the edge of the beach, not quite near enough for us to jump onboard.<br /><br />Me and one of my staff just stood there on the beach in the freezing cold, watching the waves pound on the barge over and over. It was in danger of being freed from the rock trap and could either be pushed to crash into other seaside structures or simply float away to the vast ocean.<br /><br />My staff offered to jump into the water, swim over to the barge with a rope and tie it down. I said no. I'd rather lose a barge than lose a life.<br /><br />The storm raged on for a few more hours... and in those few hours, I felt so small and humble as I prayed to the Almighty for help...Fadhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091828414987087822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-41368804556855017902011-12-20T20:23:47.514+08:002011-12-20T20:23:47.514+08:00Zul,
