Education

What is education? Is education an important part in your life? Since young, we've been exposed to STUDY STUDY STUDY for around 20 years but do we really know the purpose of education?

I'm now nearly two years older from the age of a quarter of century and still STUDYing. 

In primary school, I study is to get good result, to please teachers and parents, and to get praises. 

In lower secondary, I study is to get a better position in class and to maintain in the best class. 

As for in Form 6, I study is to get a place in public university. 

Well, it continues in university, I study is to get a degree certificate. 

Afterthat, I continue with diploma in teaching just to get a cert, or a license to teach as a trained teacher. 

NOW, 

I'm pursuing MED, Master in Education. Initially, I took this course to get a better pay in my career. But now, thanks to the course, I've been thinking are we comfortable with our current education system or do we need to change?

In Malaysia, education was implemented quite nicely until the era of debating about the language in the two subjects. Until now, the new curriculum that had been implemented was not even planned properly. We, teachers were confused and even doubt the ability of people who planned the new curriculum.

Other than the ministry, parents and students' thinking nowadays are the main factors too. 

I'm currently in a college that my beloved is studying in and seeing all the students remind me of my degree time. The only different thing is that this is a private college that required higher tuition fees compare to public university. Normally, parents with better living lifestyle are able to send their kids to this place. I can see branded cars driving by the college by the students that did not even reach the age of 2 decades. All the latest phone models required half of my one month salary were being hold by them. 

People have been comparing and complaining. Now even education were being compared and complained too. But in my opinion, education is for all. Everyone should have the chance to get education no matter how poor or how rich they are. 

The ways of getting the education might me different but education will be even worthy if we strive harder to get it. 

I love my current university motto..

~ Education for all, University for all ~

沟通，有沟就会通

不管是在什么关系都好，

只要关系到人与人的联系，

沟通，

扮演着非常重要的角色。

如果什么都收在心里，

别人不是你肚子里的一条虫，

他们永远都不知道你心里在想什么。

有人告诉我，

隐瞒，

是一段感情的死穴。

沟通，

有沟，就会通了。

一段关系也是一样。

要长长久久的走下去，

唯一的方法就是要时常沟通。

通过沟通，

我们更了解对方，

我们更明白对方，

我们更谅解对方，

而不是，

要对方一直猜测我们的想法，

最后，

反而会让对方胡思乱想，

Deborah Tannen: “Life is a matter of dealing with other people, in little matters and cataclysmic ones, and that means a series of conversations.”

我们的生命就是与别人打交道，不管是大事或小事，我们都需要沟通。。
