PhD?

Banyak kali juga terjumpa artikel cara mudah menulis proposal atau tesis. Yang beri tips tulis proposal atau tesis PhD dalam 3 bulan pun ada. 

Profesor yang beri ceramah cara mencari tajuk atau topik PhD juga ada. Apa yang dicari? Di mana persediaan sebelum memulakan perjalanan PhD?

Bengkel kaedah kajian juga banyak diadakan. Ramai peminat. PhD ni pasal kaedah kajian sajakah? Metod atau inti kajian yang lebih penting?

Tips menghasilkan tesis yang mempunyai impak bukan sahaja dari sudut teori tetapi juga praktikal hampir tiada. Hairan bila majlis ilmu calon PhD jarang kelihatan.

Terfikir PhD ini apa bila semua nak cepat dan nak mudah. Menuntut ilmu perlukan keikhlasan. Memberi ilmu juga perlu keikhlasan. Barulah ilmu ada keberkatan.

Maaf jika nadanya agak keras. Tidak setuju pun tidak mengapa. Masing2 punya pandangan dan pendapat. Ini pandangan saya. Pandangan anda terpulanglah.

Dunia dah banyak berubah. Virus makin menular.

To Have or To Be?

A friend recommended me to read this book, To Have or to Be? It is an old (1976) book by psychoanalyst Erich Fromm.

He differentiates between having and being. Fromm mentions how modern society has become materialistic and prefers "having" to "being". 

Just read the summary from the Internet. Can't wait to read the whole book.

Excellence

Alhamduillah done officiating the AAAA Conference. I was given a prepared text but changed my speech at the very last minute as new ideas pops up.

First, the importance of COLLABORATION, among academicians and between academicians and practitioners, government agencies and community.

Second, the importance of being RELEVANCE. Balancing between academic rigour and practical relevance in teaching, research and consultations.

Third is EXCELLENCE. Findings from good research are shared in classrooms, published in reputable journals and used as case studies in executive trainings. 

Collaboration ---> Relevance --> Excellence --> Referred and Respected University.

Prof Sharokh Saudagaran, Secretary General of FourA also emphasised on the same points.

Finally, on the changing landscape of economic and business environment, and accounting profession. Tougher challenges ahead for both academic & practice.

Ikhlas

Soalan refleksi diri malam ni...benar ikhlas kah kita atau sekadar mainan di bibir?
