Semangatlah, Wahai Diri !

"Argghhh ! Malasnya nak balik; lepas ni nak start belajar dah tp hati dan jiwa ni tak sedia lagi"

Haha. Biasa kita dengar, kan? Rakan-rakan kita berkata seperti itu, mungkin juga kita. Namun, hidup tidak selalunya mudah, kehidupan dan perjuangan perlulah diteruskan, kita perlu kembali bergerak setelah cuti yg agak lama.

    Sebelum itu, saya nak ucapkan tahniah kepada rakan-rakan yg mempunyai semangat yg berkobar-kobar; yg tak sabar memulakan kehidupan di cfs kembali. Bagi yg mempunyai masalah untuk memulihkan semangat untuk kembali ke cfs, mari ikuti tips-tips yg bakal dikongsi di bawah. Semoga tips-tips ini bermanfaat.

Pertama____ Semak jadual pembelajaran, kerja dan sebagainya. Teliti dan susun jadual anda.

Kedua____ Rancang pergerakan anda ketika di cfs, sediakan target dan strategi untuk mencapai kejayaan yg cemerlang dalam pembelajaran ataupun apa-apa saja yg anda ceburi. Perancangan yg baik adalah amat penting; org yg gagal merancang sama seperti merancang untuk gagal.

Ketiga____ Mulakan sem anda dengan hasil kerja yg terbaik. Permulaan yg baik akan mempengaruhi seluruh hasil kerja anda sepanjang sem. Apa-apa tugasan, mulakan yg mudah dahulu supaya gerak kerja anda menjadi lebih cekap. Namun, deadline sesuatu tugas perlu diambil berat.

Keempat____ Sebagai seorang pelajar, anda seharusnya tidak membazir masa. Setiap detik adalah amat berharga. Apabila belajar, mengulangkaji dan menyiapkan kerja khursus, anda harus fokus. Bergeraklah secara 'offline'; tiada facebook, twitter, begitu juga dengan sembang kosong.

Kelima____ Bangunkan rasa bersemangat. Anda boleh memulakan hari-hari anda dengan perkara yg mungkin memberikan semangat kepada anda. Mungkin menelefon ibubapa, mendengar muzik atau mengambil sarapan yg menyegarkan. Apa yg penting anda bersemangat utuk meneruskan perjuangan pada hari tersebut.

Keenam____ Relakskan diri anda setelah berjaya lakukan sesuatu yg memuaskan dan raikannya. Namun, bukanlah secara berlebihan. Anda juga perlu berazam untuk melakukan hari esok lebih baik dari pencapaian hari ini; ambil kira keperluan esok.

Dan

Ketujuh____ Sebagai seorang muslim, sumber kekuatan anda semestinya pada doa. Letakkan keyakinan anda pada-Nya. Usaha, doa dan tawakkal adalah kunci utama kejayaan. Doalah agar segala urusan dalam apa sahaja usaha dan tujuan anda menjadi mudah dan mendapat keberkatannya.

10 cara mudah kuasai bahasa inggeris. Saja nak share. Moga bermanfaat.

1.Update Status Guna Bahasa Inggeris

Masa update status kat facebook, guna la bahasa inggeris sikit-sikit..bukan nak berlagak tapi cara ni membantu korang untuk mengarang ayat dalam bahasa inggeris secara spontan.

2. Cakap Depan Cermin 

Duduk depan cermin dalam bilik cakap la bahasa inggeris sorang-sorang..bukan beerti korang meroyan atau buang tabiat tapi ni dapat melatih untuk berkomunikasi di hadapan orang lain. Nanti takde la tersasul nak sebut..hehehe

3. Tulis Vocab
Ambil kertas dan tulis tajuk yang korang pilih sendiri. Contoh : "things i like about my boyfriend". Tulis seberapa banyak vocab yang berkaitan dengan tajuk yang korang pilih tu. Contoh : My boyfriend ---------> 1. handsome 2. sensitive.............

4. Baca Surat Khabar Bahasa Inggeris
Rajin-rajin la baca surat khabar dalam bahasa inggeris seperti the star atau majalah seperti reader's digest..kalau ada ayat yang tak faham, boleh rujuk kamus. 

5. Selalu Guna Kamus
Kalau korang malas nak bukak kamus yang tebal tu, install je dekat handphone korang lagi senang. Jumpa je perkataan yang tak faham terus boleh check makna dan hafal.

6. Buat Buku Khas Tulis Vocab
Setiap kali korang jumpa perkataan yang tidak tahu maksudnya, rujuk kamus dan tuliskan dalam buku khas . Tulis perkataan dengan maksud sekali dengan contoh ayat. Sebab kalau korang tahu makna pun tak tahu contoh ayat susah jugak. 

7. Belajar Grammar Budak Sekolah Rendah  

Speaking tanpa guna grammar yang betul boleh tunggang langgang ayat. Kalau korang takde basic grammar lagi aku suggest cari buku grammar budak sekolah rendah sebab mudah faham. Kalau ada orang tanya nape baca buku budak sekolah rendah cakap la “Oh…saya tengah baca ni untuk ajar anak jiran saya….” sambil menunjukkan muka confident..kekeke 

8. Selalu Tengok Movie Omputeh  

Kalau korang suka tengok movie omputeh, ambik remote astro dan terus tukar sari kata dari bahasa melayu ke bahasa inggeris. Sambil tengok movie tu korang pun boleh belajar cara nak sebut perkataan dengan betul. 

9. Tengok Oh My English!  

Cerita ni pun memang tunjukkan pelajar-pelajar kita kurang mahir menggunakan bahasa inggeris dalam kehidupan seharian. Last-last diorang dapat pulak cikgu Mat Salleh.

10. Cuba Buat Entri Dalam Bahasa Inggeris
Cuba la buat satu dua entri dalam bahasa inggeris. Jangan fikir kalau buat entri English, mungkin takde orang nak baca. Kalau entri korang tulis tu menarik, konpem ada orang akan baca jugak. Buat ayat sendiri dalam bahasa inggeris, no copy paste ye. Kalau ada yang silap, jangan malu, bukannya jumpa face to face pun..maybe ada orang lain yang sudi betulkan yang salah.

professor & student

Professor : You are a Muslim, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

Ten Tips - Exam techniques

Tests and exams are a regular part of the school environment. It is important that exams be kept in proportion - they are important, but not the end of the world. Some things can be done to make exams a more valuable, worthwhile and less threatening experience for students.

1. Have all necessary material with youYou can't borrow items such as pens, pencils, rulers or special equipment while in an examination.
2. Have a relaxing night before your exams
   Have an early night, and try to have a healthy breakfast.
3. Read the entire paper.
   Where you have choices, decide which ones you plan to answer.
4. Plan your time.
   Spend some time drafting a plan for the questions you choose to answer.
5. Jot down ideas as they come to you.
   While you are answering one question, information about another may suddenly occur to you. Jot it down somewhere because when you come to that question perhaps an hour later, you may have forgotten it.
6. Don't leave any questions unanswered.If you are short of time, use note form. Remember, you can only be marked on the answers you give.
7. Never leave the room early.
   If you have time at the end, go over your work, add information (eg in the margin). You can't return if you suddenly remember a fact after you have left.
8. Do not spend too long on multiple choice questions.With multiple choice questions it is best to cover the answers and work out your own before looking at the choices on paper. If you can't answer the question come back to it later - have a guess.
9. Never omit an entire question.
   No matter how well you answer other questions, you must leave time for all questions - a perfect answer can still only earn a certain number of marks. If you write nothing, you can't receive any marks and you have lost all your marks for a particular question. Write something - it may at least give you a few points.
10. Maintain a stable energy level.
    Eating foods such as chocolate bars before an exam might give you an energy boost to begin with but your blood sugar levels will drop within an hour and your energy will plunge dramatically, making it hard for you to concentrate.

To Be Excellent Leader

 Leader of Islam

1. Excellent Islamic leaders submit to Allah and govern by His Edicts:

·         Governance powers are prudently disciplined, checked, and the rule of law is ensured through supremacy of God’s  (Allah’s) direction“And whosever does not govern by that which Allah has revealed, such are the wrongdoers” ( Quran 5:45).

 2. Excellent Islamic leaders are empathetic, forgiving and use a shura form of decision-making:

·          The Quran states: “And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allah’s) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him)” (3:159).

3. Excellent Islamic leaders are truthful, just and avoid bribery.

·         “And do not devour your wealth among yourselves through falsehood, and offer it not as a bribe to the authorities that you may knowingly devour a part of the wealth of other people with injustice.” (2:189).

4. Excellent Islamic leaders keep their word and deal firmly with those who break theirs.

·         “If you fear treachery from any people throw back (their covenant) to them (so as to be) on equal terms (that there will be no more covenant between you and them). Certainly Allah likes not the treacherous”. (8:58).

How To Build Confidence.

You want to be confident and feel confident, but what if you're starting with little or no confidence? How do you get from Point A to Point B? True self-confidence isn't an overnight acquisition. It takes dedication to realize you are a good human being that is worthy of respect and love.

1. Recognize your insecurities. What does that voice in the back of your mind say? What makes you uncomfortable or ashamed of yourself? This could be anything from acne, to regrets, friends at school or a past traumatic or negative experience. Whatever is making you feel unworthy, ashamed, or inferior, identify it, give it a name, and write it down. You can also tear these written pieces to start feeling positive on those points.

2. Talk about it with friends and loved ones. Wear it on your sleeve. Each day you should chip away at it; wear it down. There's no quick fix. Get to the root of the problem; focus on it and understand that you need to resolve each issue before you can move on. Check if it's an old past emotion and if it is really still relevant or applicable in your life today. And that doesn't mean you have to get rid of whatever makes you feel bad (many times, you simply can't). You need to learn to accept yourself, your past, your circumstances as they are, without necessarily thinking of them as "bad".

3. Bounce back from your mistakes. Remember that no one is perfect. Even the most confident people have insecurities. At some point in any of our lives, we may feel we lack something. That is reality. Learn that life is full of bumps down the road. And that often these insecure feelings come and go, depending on where we are, who we are with, the mood we're in, how we are feeling. In other words, they are not constant.

4. Identify your successes. Everyone is good at something, so discover the things at which you excel, then focus on your talents. Give yourself permission to take pride in them. Give yourself credit for your successes. Inferiority is a state of mind in which you've declared yourself a victim. Do not allow yourself to be victimized. Express yourself, whether it's through art,music, writing, etc. Find something you enjoy. Everyone is born with talents and strengths. You can develop and excel in yours. If it's difficult to name two or three things you have some ability in or just plain love to do, think about things others do that you would like to do too and take some lessons or join an enthusiasts club. When you're following your passion, not only will it have a therapeutic effect, but you'll feel unique and accomplished, all of which can help build your self confidence. Plus, adding a variety of interests to your life will not only make you more confident, but it will increase your chances of meeting compatible friends!

5. Be thankful for what you have. A lot of the times, at the root of insecurity and lack of confidence is a feeling of not having enough of something, whether it's emotional validation, good luck, money, etc. By acknowledging and appreciating what you do have, you can combat the feeling of being incomplete and unsatisfied. Finding that inner peace will do wonders for your confidence.

6. Be Positive, even if you don't feel the same way. Avoid self-pity, or the pity and sympathy of others. Never allow others to make you feel inferior--they can only do so if you let them. If you continue to loathe and belittle yourself, others are going to do and believe likewise. Instead, speak positively about yourself, about your future, and about your progress. Do not be afraid to project your strengths and qualities to others. By doing so, you reinforce those ideas in your mind and encourage your growth in a positive direction.

7. Accept compliments gracefully. Don't roll your eyes and say, "Yeah, right," or shrug it off. Take it to heart and respond positively ("Thank you" and a smile works well).

8. Look in the mirror and smile. Studies surrounding what's called the "facial feedback theory" suggest that the expressions on your face can actually encourage your brain to register certain emotions. So by looking in the mirror and smiling every day, you might feel happier with yourself and more confident in the long run.

9. Fake it. Along the same lines of smiling to make yourself feel happy, acting confident might actually make you believe it. Pretend you're a completely confident version of you; go through the motions and see how you feel!

10. Stick to your principles. It might be tough, but if you don't have something you can believe in, you don't have anything. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. No matter what's happened in your life, you can always lay claim to the fact that from this day forward, you've followed your principles to the best of your ability.

11. Help others. When you know you're kind to the people around you, and are making a positive difference in other people's lives (even if it's just being kinder to the person who serves you coffee in the morning), you'll know that you are a positive force in the world--which will boost your self confidence.

12. Avoid perfectionism: Perfectionism paralyzes you and keeps you from accomplishing your goals.

TIPS.

• Exercise and eat healthily. Exercise raises endorphins and makes one feel happier and healthier. It is certainly an easy and effective way to boost your self-confidence. Drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday.
• When you are feeling terribly insecure, write down your positive traits and read them back. This feedback would give you surprising results.
• 
  
• Do not be afraid to push yourself beyond your physical or mental limits. Such a pressure would help you see how easily things can be achieved and thereby helps you hone skills. Step out of your comfort zone.
• 
  
• Condition yourself to talk positively about yourself. Every time your mind wanders and say you are not apt at it, pause for a minute, undo those negative vibes and say you can do it. At least you should make an attempt to accomplish that daunting task. With that, you will learn more about yourself.
