the gifted hands

assalamualaikum
been quite busy lately.dont have much time to write here.

today,for our self-development programme, we watched a movie the gifted hands.theres a lot of good message that we can get from this movie in which the talented Cuba Gooding Jr. plays a main role of a neurosurgeon who had a difficulties in his childhood. because of the mother's efforts and gifted intelligence and skills he, later in life, became the world most famous neurosurgeon.

this movie is based on true story. it tells us that we can do anything in life if we really want to. there is no one dumb in this world. you can learn everything, just everything only if you really go for it.this movie is good for mothers who hope a lot in their children, to teachers who have low achievers in their class, to almost everyone who has been through a lot in life.

next friday, we are looking forward for more good movies.

it's all about you!

assalamualaikum and hi.

i got class at 8 till 11 this morning.at 9, when i was giving lecture about assault and battery, this one student knocked the door and with guilt entered the class.thanks bro, i do appreciate your attendance even though it was the second hour of the lecture!well, at least you did come.

the scenario above is not new to me.it happens from time to time.again, please come to class even its already late.but please do not take it that i encourage students to be late.if the same person is doing the same thing again and again, you will get a lesson that you will remember for quite some time in your life!!

last posting was about positive attitude.one of two things that i mention before was about mind-setting of a student.remember, as a student, you need to behave and act like one!no late for class, no sleep in class, no etc....so many no la madame!

one of the biggest hurdles that you need to pass is to pass exam successfully.But the key to this is to study effectively. To study effectively and to pass examinations excellently, the most important resource that you have is you.

You are by now an exam passer. To get to this level (pre-university/university) you have been studying and passing examinations. Not only can you do it, you did it well. You are one of those outstanding students, and you have been selected on the basis that you passed examination excellently.
Because you are among the chosen ones, there are qualifications waiting for you. There is the expectation that, on your track record to date, you will succeed. There are a lot of people believe in you. Remember, you can win! You can achieve your dreams!

Say to yourself, in all honesty, "I CAN DO IT"! AND I CAN DO IT WELL!!

positive attitude

assalamualaikum

i actually dedicated this to all my students.hopefully this can benefit you all.i was thinking, what should i write first???hmmmm..then it comes to my mind that i should write about positive attitude.i believe that positive attitude in learning the most important issue that i deal as a teacher.thanks to many of my students who motivate me to do my level best everyday.

since the first class, i've been telling my students that they should aim to be an "exemplary, extraordinary students". but how?

ok.keep reading.what i write here is my personal view.it serves as advice. you may leave it, no obligation to accept it.it is based on my experience of teaching for nearly 5 years, handling personal and academic issues of my students.

well, the first step of becoming an "exemplary, extraordinary students" one must first have a correct and positive attitude.

fisrt, build in you an intent to succeed. no matter who you are, where you from, what you have been through in life before, believe that you can do it.other people can. it is humanly possible!

second, prepare yourself.set your mind that you are a student.you are not yet a lawyer, magistrate, judge, legal executive or anyone that you want to be in future. you are at present a law student. it means that you have to attend class/lectures, tutorials and you have to sit for exams! and you must pass the examinations successfully.who says that exams are not important??anyone?remember, if you skip classes, or sleep during lectures there's nothing right about what you are doing. baed on my experience as a teacher and a student (not long time ago), reading on our own is not enough. we still need teacher to guide us.

thirdly...we'll continue later.remember these two things: intent to succeed and mind-setting of a students.

this is merely and advice.take it or leave it?it's all your choice.
