A speaker describes a situation where a colleague suggests that if someone is comfortable with a task, they should say "has a great experience" before realizing they are just trying to get out of it. They imagine someone in a club where they say "has a great experience" and then ask the person what they have done, to which the response is given as "has a great experience" and they say "has a great experience" before realizing they are just trying to leave.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			I learnt a good 1 from 1 of
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			my colleagues.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			He says, if you want to know
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			if something is good,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			you should be
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:09
			able
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			to
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			say,
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			When you start doing it, and when you
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			are finished with it, you should be able
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			to say, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			Then it's a good thing.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			I imagine you are lighting a cigarette.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			You want to put in your mouth, are
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			you going to say bismillah?
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			You can't say Bismillah because the minute you
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			say Bismillah, it will drop from between your
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			lips. It's on the floor.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Imagine you take a puff,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			I don't even want to say it. I
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			don't even want to say it.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			I don't even want to say it. Can
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			it be a good thing?
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			Like imagine someone going to the club, they
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			say, Bismillah, Bismillah, I'm entering. No. No. No.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			Not at all. Only you come to that
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			which is good, you say, Bismillah.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			You want to know if what you are
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			doing is good, you must be able to
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			say Bismillah when you are starting. And when
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			you are done with it, you must say,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			Alhamdulillah. Then you know you have done something
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:57
			good.
