The Prophet once said that, if you don't like something, change it with your hands first, then your mouth. (And if all fails, by all means, keep your mouth shut.)
One of the reasons why I'm so happy to work with my hands (and my mouth shut) is because my hands seem to make a more sustainable difference than my mouth.
I honestly enjoy making people writhe with pleasurable pain when I give them a massage. I enjoy seeing a neat pile of anything I sort out. I enjoy writing, because it's something that comes through my hands too.
Even the satisfaction is more real when the work comes through my hands, you know?
Our hands bring forth the fruits of our hearts and minds. Bless our hands, writers, cooks, builders, drivers, hairdressers, maids, surgeons, mommies and playful daddies, for the good things we do with our hands, make the deepest impact, carve the deepest memories, and affirm the deepest faith. Amen.
What good things have you been doing with your hands?

What good things have you been doing with your hands?
- Membelai anakku sambil memanjatkan doa dalam hati..
Tapi tampaknya aku lebih banyak berbuat hal yang baik dengan seluruh badanku..
- Berangkat kerja dengan senang hati..
- Antri angkutan umum sambil bersenandung riang..
- Menikmati pekerjaan kantor dengan penuh syukur..
..
Tapi yang menurutku paling menantang..
- Membuat kepalaku selalu bisa menilai semua hal dari sisi positif dan mensyukuri hikmah yang telah diberikan-Nya..

Hear, hear. Of course.
I can't help thinking of one obvious exception though. I would prefer to solve a conflict by using words rather than by using hands.
(PS: Before typing my hands were caressing)
@Anon, selamat & semangat selalu!
@Colson, man, I see your point, but lack the patience. Someone once said that, if the world is screwed, then it's because we're not angry enough to to fix it, you know? People ought to stop arguing and just do it.
Just do it.
