SLAYING, THE BEST PROBLEM SOLVING METHOD

I told my students, the reason we are in the university is that when we read we understand. If it is written permanent marker, then we don't use it to write on the white board. If it's written somewhere to use safety belt, then we use it every time we drive and not only after we see a policeman. Why? Because we understand why.

So when we read in the news that somebody is killed, then we know there must be reasons for it to happen. We also know and fully respect all authorities that under the concept of need to know basis, they will not tell us the real reason if they perceived that if the public know about it, then subsequently it will become more complicated.

We must respect those we elected. We must respect their decision. After all, like us, they want the country to develop without a hitch.

I once told my students, many people including our politicians condemn the USA, but on the other hand we support the USA in most things they do.

My conclusion, at this level, being university graduates, when we read, we see, listen and observe, we should understand better than those who didn't go to the university.

OUM STUDENTS

I wish I can be a help to most, but I cant. I want to share my perception on part time learning. To me it is fun. If you want to look from the positive approach. I guess you have to. After all, you choose to earn paper qualification.

All if not most tutors have hands on experience in whatever subject they are teaching compare to full time tutors and lecturers. More often than not, they are the first to comment about the content of the module.

But nevertheless, you have no choice but to learn, understand and memorise the module. Why? Because these are basics which you must understand in every subject that you are being exposed to. If you think it is a waste of time, then you should tell the tutor what the university should teach you.

If you care to realise then you will understand better in every theory that they teach. You can make comparison between those theory and what really happen in your organisation.

This is the beauty here, tutors have hands-on experience and so do you. Then you should ask a lot of question in classes to clear your doubts between the real life and the theory. Full time students will not have this opportunity. They are not able to ask questions because they have not gone through the process.

PURPOSE OF PRAYER

Muslim prays 5 times a day. It is mentioned somewhere that the difference between Muslim and non-Muslim is the prayer. If I dont pray 5 times day, then I am not, in a true sense, a Muslim. This is my understanding.

But why do Muslim have to pray 5 times a day?

This morning I saw a man jogging. Then I asked my friend why in this city, I see many Chinese jogging and very few Malay and Indian jogging?

The answer is very simple [ I may be wrong ], because, people know why they have to pray 5 times a day, and/or why they have to jog. If they dont know why, then they cant do those things sincerely. And if they know, then they are just plain stupid, thick headed or they have problems with attitude.

In the practical management approach, we have to tell our subordinates why we do those things so that they know.
