FISH PHILOPSOPHY??

THIS was the first time I heard about fish philosophy.... fish have philosophy??? Sound funny, erm.....after a bit of research on internet, I can comprehend what it is all about...
It was good that we can learn from people at a fish market.... fish philosophy emphasize on the importance of having fun at work…when we doing work that we don’t like, how can we be productive? When the environment, people around us is negative towards us, how we can have fun? I know some people that hate their job, every single day at work they suffered and this caused stress and a lot of tension. If you are having fun at work, it will make you appreciate your work… we will not see our work as a burden but as a responsibility that we must be as best we can be…. When we are having fun at work, it doesn’t mean that we take our work for granted it just that we enjoy doing it. It will make our work efficient and effective. Fish philosophy also stated that we must make a difference. We must make other people happy, spread our happiness…. We never know how important we are to others and a simple “hello” can change a person life!! Believe me, I experienced it myself, when we smile it will make a difference because others will not see us as arrogant and a smile will change their perception. So, don’t be selfish, be good to others as we want other people to treat us. We also must have love. Show your love!! Never thing that people can understand your feeling, you must tell them. When you give love, you will get it back. Lastly, attitude will change your life. How you view this world. Are you an optimist or pessimist.? I was an pessimist guy that thing there nothing good in this world, as I get older it my perception on life change drastically, maybe because coming of age I try to live a life as best as I can, there was a guy that have a catchphrase “get a life”. I think everyone have their own lifestyle. We can’t do a lot to change others but we surely can change our attitude, for a better life…. Whatever philosophy we use, everyone want to be a better person we must strive to be the best!! May Allah bless me... AMIN

Technology can support a vision but technology cannot be the vision...

yup!! I am totally agreed with the statement.... How can technology be the vision? We must utilize technology to accomplish our vision. for instance, our government have spend a lot of money to equip our school with the latest technology available,, however that doesn’t mean that by having all this new technology make the vision to create a world-class education a reality.. It us, the people that must ensure technology being uses to achieve our reality. The infrastructure itself will not mean that the vision has been achieved. Technology wills kick-start our vision as it will give advantages over other people. So, technology can be a catalyst to realize our vision. In my opinion, the students are the vision for our country. There are the vision of every parents and teachers that want them to be successful. The technology is a boon for students as the learning process can be exciting and increase their motivation. However, our government must be fair in allocating the resources for schools because there will always be tendency to give more money to the favor school. We must be diligent if we want our vision a.k.a students to get the most return out of technology.

digital citizen vs digital immigrant

i think most of us are digital immigrant... but i like to consider myself as digital citizen!! why? because i feel i deserve it... most of us have to be digital immigrant because they were force to accept changes in their life. they have to make changes in their life or risk being left behind in this "digital world" where people move at the speed of sound.... and our life is decided by a click of mouse button... whether we like it or not, we need to be a digital immigrant if we want to compete in this new era where people who is well-versed with digital technology will move forward and left others.... for digital citizen, this are the people that have been exposed to technology since they were young and they mastered it or far better than digital immigrant that need help from digital citizen. so,, it doesnt matter if we are not digital citizen as long we are willing to learn and work hard to acquire knowledge. life depend in our hand and we must not blame others for our lack of progress because of our laziness or frustrated with your learning...

Smartboard Materials

Wow! Wow! Last week class was very interesting! Our lecturer shows us samples of materials that is created using smartboard notebook and I was very excited when I saw what we can do using smartboard. Surely, learning would never be the same again with smartboard. We can forget about the dull “dumb board” a.k.a blackboard! The smartboard notebook is indeed interesting software. However, we must be creative and imaginative to create materials that are effective in the classroom. We must not create materials just for the sake of using smart board. Having said that, I think it is quite difficult to use the smart board because we need to be ‘soft’ and ‘gentle’ to handle it. Being a strong and tough man it was hard to put my finger on the board and gently push it up or down. Maybe I need a bit of training to get use to it. For me, the pupils will surely benefit the most if smart board is use in school because the materials is very amazing, pupils will never be bore in school. I just hope that by the time I graduated, our government will supply smart board to all school. Maybe it is just a dream….
