Philosophy Of Thinking

Hallo peeps!

Second full two hours of critical thinking class went as smooth as expected. I can survive with that, so amazing right? HEHEHE

When the subject of philosophy is brought up, what are some of the definition that spring to mind? Would some of the common answers be way of life or any else? Philosophy is often equated with to know the meaning of life. So, Dr just kind of pick random person to ask about what we hold to motivate us to keep walking in this sweet sour world. Kevin mentioned in class, he cling with the one quote saying that "In order to be a king, thus, kill the prince" By any simple word, you don't have to be a second version of anyone, you're just as good as you were born to be.

I'm at that age in between adolescence and being an adult, and there have many books and movies treat me how to create our own philosophy .Regardless of that, as from my perspective, my philosophy is I am the idea of my best person, just shines everything with your own originality, growing up doesn't mean deciding to be one or the other, maybe its deciding to be you. Whatever condition that may be.

On the other hand, thinking is the process of mind, reason, intelligence. Activate your brain cell to work effectively.4 strategies of thinking which are radical ( struggle), systematic, universal ( resourceful) and controlled ( by moral values, religion ). The more you think, the smarter you grow. Thinking well affect a person's success. Even when we want to do anything, thinking have not taken a backseat. Hence, we cannot ignore the habit of thinking. The habit needs to be practiced and allow to flow from a regular routine. Okay? :)

Another half an hour before the class dismissed, Dr asked us to sit in group, and gave us one western philosophy word which is idealism, to define the meaning. The class immediately took action, we google it in a state of confusion. So, the yield is, the ideology of still beliving in God but at the same time, defending the right to think freely. Learnt a good lesson, checked !!

To wrap up this post, again, in this class, there is no common sight to see students yawning or falling asleep in the back row of class that is conducted by a lecturer who makes attempt in injecting life into the class. I'm now thrilled to have finally found clear, applicable ideas on what I need to hold as my principles of life., You dr, have given me a much needed enlightment.Enjoy the fleeting moment while it lasts!

How 1st Class Treats Me

       

The day started with a double morning class of Research Methodology subject. And after that, continuing with a lesson for Critical and Creative thinking. Here's the story began;

Encik Mohd Nasir Masroom is the lecturer in charge of this subject. Right from he first entering our class, I know that he was really different from other lecturer, like he greetes us with a cheery " Good Morning". But before that, this thought also came across in my mind that he might be a strict lecturer by his physical apperiance which has bold head. A bit amusing for me as I notice the startled or strange expressions that some of my classmates gave to him. I know I should not easily jump into any solid statement because he is actually far from that. He is always a person who always sustain the cheerfulness and a person with a smile on his face. Yet, he is no doubt has an attractive personality that draws students to like his style of lecture like a magnet.

Along the first class, he explains to us on how the lesson can achieve aims outlined. He is not merely lecture and ''cram'' information down our throats, but adding with his good sense of humour, make me broaden my understanding better.Then,he ask us to form a group consists of atleast 5 persons. Instead of telling us which group are we in, he put his trust on us by letting we choose our own group member.It was a mess around 5 minutes as we shout towards each other like " weh, ko nak masuk group aku tak". Its like the frequent activity we always happened to do but still the situation still remain like we never experience with that kind of forming group. So, in the end, my group member are badik, dila, tikah, yen and myself. Only five of us. Not only that, our second task is to create our own blog individually. I personally begin to think that this kind of medium will stimulate our creativity and independent thinking. 

It is someone like Mr Mohd Nasir who makes students feel that the tough subject is such a nice subject to deal with. Thankyou Dr for providing us with a soothing environment for learning. I'm really looking forward to start on writing again and cannot wait to see this subject unlocks many possibilities in life.

Blogging Experience

Hi & Assalamualaikum :)        

    

    Okay I really sense the awkwardness on how to start my actual blog, I personally don't know what to say but first, I have to highlight on one thing that I'm still a fresh blogger here, so give me a while to get used to editing here, for now, appreciate this simple minimal template :)

I've had all those social sites before, especially my favourite social site is twitter, and I treated it pretty much like my own personal diary, I pour my inner side there, but it was a twitter, you know. Its not a blog, its just a whole different aura, whole different perspective and everything. So you might be wonder how did I convince myself to take the leap, from twitter to an actual blog. I should thank Encik Mohd Nasir Masroom, my lecturer for subject critical and creative thinking, to introduce myself into a blogger life. He actually asked each one of my classmates to create our own blog focussing on what we felt about his lecture or anything else regarding about the subject. Wohooo it gave me a goosebumps because I felt like a kid in standard 1 trying to suit myself in a new atmosphere.

I also feel more (don't laugh) mature. Just generally more grown up by the time I write this. HEHEHE

If you've ever just stumbled across this space, Hello. Thanks for reading my semi-awkward introductions.

Here's to new beginnings.

Sincerely,
