Dear students,
Thinking of you right in front of me or somewhere else that you finally end up reading this piece of mind that hopefully make you think and change for better. Though it may happen in the long run, it already suffices to me.
What a great news posted by Miss Farah this evening when all of you dear students can flex your muscle to compete against the best,most importantly this unravel your talents that loom out of grit and determination. This sort of competition requires us to act thus involves lots of movements, be they facial expression or myriads of other body languages that may score points.On top of that, this will undoubtedly be another kick start to your creativity. The very magic world that have since time immemorial helped us live better day in day out.The big question mark is how can the creativity be within our reach and utilised the best.
Since i am not amongst those who were grouped as great minds whose invention generate up to billions the like of Mark Zuckerberg, Apple founder - who at times limit their production to maintain its prestige that revolves only around high-income yet highly professional figures, even at the cost of overflowing cash-in. I think it should be a must to think that we after all are creative before we realising it or not we are already one. This very self proclamation word though arrogant is of crucial importance as without which we are already miles behind. However, this is of little significance compared to being disciplined and passionate in the job at hand. Confucious aptly put when he once said when you love your job you don't feel like working even one day.And i until now are still contempleting to subscribe this idea as more often than not i feel like working though i most of the time do love my job.
What great inventors share in common that can we hardly find amongst us is perseverance and discipline. I happened to watch the social network the second day of its release worldwide. Mark was portrayed as someone whose most of his time glued to computer screen and socialising very little. I don't condone the idea of being asocial. What i am trying to highlight is his being passionate to his job at hand that is racking his brain to program the web base eventually bore fruits far far beyond his wildest imagination.Still, this resulted in his bosom friend being dumped for good,replaced by another 5 millions. I also read Dan Brown unauthorised biography when it mentioned that Dan made it a must to wake up as early as four am staring at the blank monitor screen waiting for ideas to pour down through his veins to his fingers.And it is no need to mention how many attempts by Edison before we lesser mortals could see the light of day without much difficulties.How many years it took to produce the great Chinese Great Wall. Albright brothers' countless attempts did not dampen their spirit to soar free like a bird. See..they share the same criteria that tops other criteria. It is discipline. And this is what you dear students lack.
Discipline to success is like a tyre to car. Or until we are disciplined enough we can achieve what we wish at present.
Nowadays, teachers' challenge is how to bring out the best in students. To me it is worthier to do self-reflect as we speak to Him.Back to the topic , grab this golden opportunity !
Sir

Western school of thought, when it comes to education believes that each student has their own preferred way of being taught. It seems impossible to cater to the needs provided that we hv lack of resources, time for planning and any other possible reasons (or excuses?)
ReplyDeleteThis is my very own opinion, but I am of the thinking that it conflicts Islam's method which emphasizes on memorisation at the early stage of learning (revealed knowledge) before dwelling on other subject matter (it's called ilmu kalam eh?)... which supports Sir's belief that discipline is the most important above anything else...and later after this process only that thing called passion will come into play....so in a way Sir is right :)
