Wide eyeview

Just after the Friday prayer, I kept my eyes on the television. It was not the usual channel I watch everyday (we don't buy Astro).  But I like that specific program. The program which is shown by another channel. A channel that rarely shows clothes! The National Geographic. Of course the animals don't wear clothes!

So, back to the main story. Today, I am able to widen my knowledge about the unique ways of the creatures sneaking and hiding in order to catch their food or prey. Most of us know about the carnivorous plant with sharp green teeth and acidic liquid, consuming the insects, unlike other plants. Or maybe without the teeth like pitcher plant or periuk kera in Malay. And also some desert animals, hiding in the sand, and many more!

But there is one unique creature which I never thought that it will do it. Snakes are commonly known as a cold-blooded reptilia with poisonous stings. However, do you know that there is one type of snake that uses tricks to attract its prey?

(source:wikipedia)

Agkistrodon bilineatus taylori, or its common name, Taylor's Cantil.

A frog wants to catch a worm. However, as it jumps towards the worm, something was waiting for it. Out of a sudden, the frog was caught by a snake!

According to the info in the TV, the snake don't even hide its body or head. However, its worm-like tail attracts its prey! If only the frog do not keep focus with the 'worm', it could save its life!

Same with our lives. We should not keep focus on one single thing. Otherwise, we will be like the frog.

What I can see in the younger generations is they keep looking for money and money and fun. Once they know that an action will not make them rich, they won't take the way.

However, what is more important is take the chance and keep it up. We should not do Allah's work! Our work is only to keep striving and believe in Allah. Even if we do not succeed like anyone else,  we must know that Allah wants the best for us.

Keep it up and believe!
