fortune-telling
November 21, 2009I had a surprise phone call today by one of our family friends. He has a bit of a fortune-telling gift and he made a research about me. Based on my birth date and my face, he came up with a few comments and called me to tell me about them.
Gulping, I held the phone to my ear to allow this man to tell me about myself.Ā It was like getting a testimonial, the good and bad all rolled into one short paragraph.
Hereās what he told me:
- Career seems more prominent in my life, I will be a good businesswoman (*amin*)
- I have good PR which can help my dadās business
- I can give speeches in the future, I can convince people to buy anything. (oh god, Iām Daddy Jr.)
- I need more discipline
- I am very open-minded, people can tell me things
- I am generous and I would help peopleĀ (But doesnāt mean Iāll give you money for nothing ok!)
- I donāt like to be controlled. I like my freedom and to do things my way. My future husband and even my parents canāt control me (I sound like a monster, donāt I?)
- I am more on the practical, but materialistic side. Not much on spiritual (WHATT?!! Me, materialistic?!! How dare he)
- I attract the opposite sex without intending to, and this often gets me in trouble.. (Oh dear⦠not good for Dean!)
- I will marry late. āBUT WHY!?!ā I asked. Heheh. Because career seems to be my priority at the moment and I will not be satisfied if I settle down now, he answered.
There were some good things, but basically I am a career-minded monster who preys on men. Hehe.
From what he told me, I can easily deduce that I am my dad in the making. I sound exactly like him. Open-minded, career-minded, freedom-loving, liked by the opposite sex (ladies, stay away from my dad, thanks), can talk and make people listen to you.
Which is good, but as a woman, I need to tone down on the aggressiveness.
Itās a sin in Islam to believe in fortune-telling (itās syirik) because you should only believe in Allah. People just tend to do it for fun, by palm-reading or even taking quizzes on Facebook. But no matter how strong you are, you will somehow be affected by what people tell you about yourself. Thatās why, donāt ask in the first place!
But, on the other hand, everyone should check themselves once in a while. You should allow people to praise and criticize you. If you take it as a challenge to improve on yourself and develop certain skills, youāre only moving forward for the better.
Just donāt believe or take it too seriously, because not only is it a sin, but it will take over your life. After all, you donāt need people to tell you about you. You should know yourself better than anyone else, the weakness and the goodness.
You’re so right about fortune-telling. And all the best for your career, PD! š
thank you ain š
Ma that better not be you.
Fortune telling is full of BS. If these people were so good at it then why arent they millionaires?
Its just to make themselves feel like they’re improtant in this world and they somehow have some leverage over everyone else.
good PD..all the best to you..hope you’ll be blessed and have a happy life surrounded with many beautiful people that love you..take care=)
