Education

Assalamualaikum Alhamdulillah

Let's compare education in Malaysia and in UK. It is damn different. I used to watch US movies, as they completed their SAT aka high school, they get their diploma certificate. While in Malaysia, you must pass SPM, then you study for about 2 years maybe, to get SIJIL. Then you must continue your studies in order to receive diploma. If you are lucky, you can just pass the SIJIL and get your diploma with the duration same with the diploma student. I guess so. I mean, i am not sure about that actually. The thing is, it is actually hard for you to get diploma in Malaysia.

But if you fail high school, you can either repeat or quit. Up to you.

Well, our system is different.

One more thing, actually, being in school is not a good medium for you to expand your talent. Everyone have different speciality. What they do best. Some student, they just learn and follow the education system without knowing their actual target. They just learn. Sometime, some students do get the idea of what they want to be in the future. But, not all of them get to be want they want to be.

Most students just learn and learn then they get their certificate and work. After sometime they actually become stress because of their works because they never like it. They never have their heart on it. They quit. After years of studies, they just quit. Just like that.

I got a good example, my niece who learn in medical school for about 5 years or more, quit her job after she got married with this guy. Well, he is actually a rich guy and his dad got a company. She quit being a doctor then be one of her father in law's employee. She is lucky because she is actually from a rich family too.

Why we need to learn? Because we need that certificate to further our studies. So we can get a good job and earn a big cheque. That is the idea of the world controller. They want us to think that money is our priority. We become too busy with studies until forget Allah. Too busy with work until forget Allah. We become naive with all the money we got until we forgot to thank Allah. We prefer to go around the world for vacation but forgot to preform our Haji.

Money is good because we can but stuff and get whatever we want on EARTH with it. But do we actually remember that we cannot bring money inside our grave. Allah never look at our wealth. He looks at out Iman. What we use for the money.

Once i heard a wise man said, he rather be poor because he is scared being rich. If you are having a whale of time spending your money for food or anything while you know that there are still poor people who does not have money to eat, and you never give them any food or money to buy food, you get sin.

You must always be wise in spending each and every cent.

Astagfirullah hal azim. We are out from our own topic. Forgive me.

The main thing that i want to say here, as you look through the history of the past Khalifah and the great people either Moslem or not, they actually SEEK for knowledge. They look for themselves. They never care mush about being poor or rich as long as they got the knowledge.

Some of the great people, they were willing to write on leaves, rubbish papers and many other things. Even the skin of the tree, i forget what we called it.

We can see the spirit of them about gaining a lot of knowledge. They never give up. They travel around the world seeking for knowledge.

How about us? Do we do that kind of stuff? Some of you people will say, what for? You can just type and search in google, everything will pop out. WOW! Technology is good. But, it keeps you indoor. In makes you become less practical. I know it because i am one of the victim.

I am not here to tell everyone to switch off their computers and pack a bag and buy a fight ticket. Then find a sifu to learn. No. What i wanted to say, be thankful that most of the develop country have their own education system. So, you can still seek you knowledge.

But because the system is too common in each government schools, too same, not everyone have same ability so, not everyone can survive. Sometime, there are students who prefer practical rather than theory. Or vise versa.

Being common keeps you unaware of your own speciality. Your talent.

Be smart. Read more books. Develop your mind to identify your speciality. IN order for you to choose the right path in your study life. So you can get a job that you love and you dream of. Have an early target. So you will always know where you are actually walking, what you are studying, why you are studying.

Maybe in school you cannot develop much but you must show a good performance as you enter your college or university.

For Malaysian, SPM is not the end of everything. It also not the ticket for an happily ever after. It is only a result of your performance in schools.

Remember, even Steve Jobs does not graduate from any university. In Rasulullah time, you don't need to have the certificate to be successful.

If there is a will, there's a way. Insha Allah. Pray to Allah for His guide.

Work hard. Tawakal. Result.
