More precious than gold

I was trying a few clothes (Jubah) tonight when Mummy showed me a piece of paper cutting she'd like to keep. and immediately I wanted to share it with you guys.

This is to all the lovely women in the world, who's beautiful inside out. You know you're worth it :)

More precious than gold
by; Bulbir Singh, Seremban

I LIKED what Dzireena Mahadzir said in When less is more (Sense of Style, Trends, StarMag, June 27). She said much about women that I appreciate, especially about how women should dress, behave and act.

What a woman wears and how she looks are not the be all and end all for women; how they behave and act and speak is vital, too. I appreciate a woman who is modestly dressed, well-behaved and well-mannered, too. not one who behaves like a man!

and I like a woman who cloaks herself in mystery - modesty is not just about covering up the hair. to me, a woman should be like a rare jewel, hard to come by. if you want to buy cheap products, go ahead, there are plenty. but remember, good things aren't cheap, and cheap things aren't good!

I have read in a book (More than a hero: Muhammad Ali's life lessons through his daughter's eyes) about the advice that boxer Muhammad Ali gave to one of his daughters, Hana Yasmeen, when she was younger. it seems that she came to visit him in his home wearing clothes that were not very modest. His daughter tells the story of how Ali reacted to her: "When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father's suite. as usual, he was hiding behind the door to scare us. we exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.

"My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down in his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said: "Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to".

"Where do you find diamonds? deep down in the ground, covered and protected. where do you find pearls? deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. where do you find gold? way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rocks. you've got to work hard to get to them"

"He looked at me with serious eyes; 'Your body is sacred. you're far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too"
