The real meaning of Education

Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and many other super achievers never finished grade school. They succeeded because they knew how to research, collect information for a selected project and process knowledge. Classroom environment does not work that way, it focuses on the collection of knowledge without a clear purpose, other than high-class grades.

If the purpose does not motivate, other than to please the teacher, then there is nothing to process outside of memorizing answers for test. The typical student is academic challenged while being motivation starved. Lack of motivation is lack of knowledge processing skills. The typical college graduate will have a professional skill that supplies life’s basic needs, that’s all.

What is education? The answer is, all elements in the opening paragraph and more, relate to education and all should be considered. This would be ideal and sounds good, but "all" is not possible where performance must be measured. Only what can be measured will be selected and the measuring tool is the written test.

Anyone who does not have the ability to put clear thoughts on paper is labeled a failure. All natural skills, including knowledge processing, does not count. The fact is, what is exercised grows stronger, what is ignored stays dormant. The classroom exercises the collection of academics leaving all other natural skills in the closet.

Never Stop Learning - Bill Gates

It seems to be almost impossible to talk about entrepreneurship and not, at some point, come across Bill Gates’ story.

“Every now and then I like to pick up a copy of Time magazine and read every article from beginning to end, not just the articles that interest me most,” says Gates. “That way you can be certain to learn something you didn’t know previously.”

Learning is an essential ingredient of any successful business. As soon as you close your mind to the possibility of another reality, you are closing yourself off to other greater opportunities that lie waiting for you. “In this business, by the time you realize you’re in trouble, it’s too late to save yourself,” says Gates. “Unless you’re running scared all the time, you’re gone.”

In order for Microsoft to have maintained its competitive edge for the past three decades, it was crucial for Gates and all his employers to engage in a process of continual learning. For Gates, “‘I don’t know’ had become ‘I don’t know yet.’”

Antara Ibadah Ritual Dan Pembangunan (Actual) Umat

Dalam dunia Islam kita sering menghadapi dua kefahaman yang melemahkan agama yang agung ini. Pertama; kefahaman yang hanya menumpukan penghayatan Islam kepada persoalan ibadah ritual semata-mata, tanpa atau kurang memperdulikan tentang persoalan pembangunan tamadun dan survival umat ini.

Bagi kefahaman ini, seakan di akhirat kelak Allah hanya mempersoalkan tentang urusan peribadi sahaja. Adapun persoalan dunia persekitaran atau hubungan seseorang dengan saudara muslim atau manusia lain seakan tidak termasuk dalam perkara yang akan disoal dan timbang balasannya oleh Allah di akhirat kelak.

Kefahaman ini sebenarnya telah menjadi racun yang telah memandulkan sesetengah golongan pro-agama sepanjang zaman. Kefahaman kedua yang mengancam agama ini adalah mereka yang menganggap remeh atau lekeh untuk diberikan penekanan atau perbincangan tentang persoalan ibadah ritual dalam agama ini.

Bagi mereka ini pula, tumpuan yang penuh hendaklah diberikan kepada persoalan pembangunan fizikal, ekonomi dan imej luar umat Islam. Persoalan ibadah ritual ini adalah terlalu sampingan dan kita tidak perlu bersoal banyak mengenainya. Seakan bagi mereka ini pula, di akhirat nanti Allah hanya akan mempersoalkan tentang soal hubungan sesama insan semata tanpa mempersoal hubungan antara insan dengan Tuhannya.

Life is comedy and tragedy

"Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel."
Horace Walpole

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Moral tadbir urus awam, swasta

Malaysia sebuah negara yang masih muda. Jika kita inginkan nama negara disebut-sebut dan diagung-agungkan, kedua-dua sektor awam dan swasta negara ini mestilah dijalankan dengan secara bermoral.

Sesetengah daripada anda mungkin menganggap sikap prinsip ini sebagai ketinggalan zaman, lapuk, tidak mengikut masa tetapi pada hemat saya, inilah prinsip hidup yang seharusnya kita pegang ke akhir zaman.

Apa yang menyedihkan bahawa dalam era kehidupan kita sekarang ini, kita tidak meletakkan perasan malu yang setimpal ke atas orang yang berkelakuan melampaui batasan moral.

Kita sebagai satu masyarakat, terlalu senang meraikan orang yang dianggap kaya raya dan hidupnya mewah. Kita meraikan mereka ini tanpa terlalu mempersoalkan asal usul kekayaan mereka. Kita sebagai satu masyarakat juga terbabit bersalah dalam keghairahan kita meraikan si pelaku salah.

MUI rebuffs Malaysian fatwa on ESQ

MUI chairman Amidhan told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday the fatwa issued by a Malaysian mufti to declare the widely-popular Emotional and Spiritual Quotient (ESQ) training program heretical was “exorbitant”.

“The ESQ method is very advanced and extraordinary. Those who issued the fatwa are just not ready [for such methods],” he said.

“A hearing attended by all the muftis and Ary on June, 16, concluded that the 13 muftis would not [issue] a haram edict on the training. The mufti for federal territories, however, did not attend the meeting and issued the fatwa without ever meeting with Pak Ary to explain,” Dwitya said in a written statement.

Komen: Inilah paparan dunia Islam yang terhidang di Malaysia. Another muslim vs muslim yang tak membantu perkembangan agama..

Mempersoalkan Mahasiswa "lemau"

Jelas sekali mahasiswa hari ini tidak punya sensitiviti tentang soal kenegaraan — cuma tertumpu dalam bidang jurusan masing-masing — tanpa menghiraukan tanggungjawab mereka sebagai golongan terpelajar dalam masyarakat, bahkan tidak pun mempergunakan ilmu jurusan masing-masing untuk membantu masyarakat!

Kepada mahasiswa yang berkata, “Cukuplah saya membanggakan ibu-bapa dengan ijazah saya”, apakah gunanya ijazah jika negara dan rakyatnya tidak berfungsi?

Ingat-ingatlah pepatah “No man is an island entire of itself.”
