Nak ke Tak Nak

I have just finished my recent book, Nak ke Tak Nak by my fav writer H.M Tuah Iskandar. There are lots of benefits that you can get from the book, even though you are a teacher, office boy, big boss, student, parents, housewife, unemployee or anything.

On every chapter at the end of it, he put some wise words that we can reflect them to ourselves.

MARATHON

The last interesting  fact that I have just known from it is about Marathon. It is a actually a person's name. He was from Greek. 

One day on thousand years ago, Normandic came to attack the peaceful country. Unfortunately, most residents in Greek didn't know how to fight because most of them were bisnessmen, farmers and common citizens. Well, of course there were some soldiers but they weren't as strong as Normandic.

ADMINISTRATOR GATHERING

When the Greeks got the news that Normandic were heading their way towards Greek, they became panic and restless. A gathering was made between the king and ministers to discuss about solution.

One of intellect person said: "We weren't going to fight them because they were not just strong but also cruel.They were willing to kill anything to get what they wanted."

Then the king asked about what should they did.

The youngest person in the meeting board answered: "We fight!"

In the end of the meeting, they made a decision to fight because they were going to send a messenger to Sparta to ask for help.

RUNNING TO SPARTA

They sent Marathon to Sparta. The distance between Greek and Sparta was like Johor Bharu to Muar. At that time, they weren't any planes, trains, cars or taxi to ride on but just horse, camel and donkey.

As soon as Marathon got the order, he ran as fast as he could to Sparta non-stopped. He just stopped when he felt naked, hungry, thirsty and to sleep.

How could he did that?

Because in his heart and mind setting, there was just one thing... it was to save his beloved country!

After months, he got to Sparta safe and sound. But the time had came... as soon as he gave the Sparta's king the message, he fell and died.

THE VICTORY

Guess who won the battle?

Yes, it was Greek. But how? Didn't they were weaker than Normandic?

It was because the Greeks believed that helps were coming so they had to fight until then. Helps from Sparta arrived after the winning.

So, Marathon's running was worthwhile... even though he died, his name has been put as a famous sport in the world.

HISTORY

Normandic soldiers were known as the cruellest and vicious army. They fought the same as Monguls under the lead of Atila. 

Without looking at the genders and conditions of the victims, they would kill them as they were on their way.

When Monguls attacked Iraq, they weren't just killed people and Muslims army but they also burned all the books in the country.

For readers information, Normandic was from Norway, a Europe country. At that particular time, Normandic was known as English terrorist and Mongul was Asian terrorist.
