#2 December this year

[ there must be some faith within… ]

Learning is a process. It takes time. Therefore, teachers should remember that instant result is not the real goal.

Learning is a process of change; from knowing nothing into something. It is a growth.

Sometimes it is discouraging to see and know that some students haven’t changed far from where they start, though we think we have done all effort that we are able to do.

Then sometimes these questions come:

·         Why don’t the students study?

·         Why can’t the students pay attention to the lesson?

·         Why do the students get attached more to FB, gossip,  etc?

·         Why do the students cheating?

·         Why are the students lack of confidence?

And more questions…

Back to my school time, I was so engaged to study [except for some periods of time]. I know that studying was my passion. The best effort I always tried to do. This attitude was grown inside because my parents have trained me so. I remember a sticker that my Dad put on my cupboard door: bermain boleh saja, belajar nomor satu. I enjoyed my study, I loved it.

In short, I got the motivation; both from myself and outside.

This is what I see so far, many students don’t have motivation to study. Maybe, they don’t know why do they need to study and go to school. And then why?? There are reasons.

With this fact, teachers know that they have a harder work: to motivate them to find their own motivation.

Feeling discouraged? Yes, sometimes and it’s normal, human nature, I guess. The important thing is to put away the discouragement and put on a little faith:

Education is a long term achievement. Therefore, the workers, the teachers are doing investment for future; 10 years, 25 years or even 50 years from now. The teachers must be sure that what they invest are the precious seeds. In time they are ready for harvest, they would bear sweet and good fruits.

Lets’ refresh our motivation again and again, we would ripe what we sow

Enjoy your December.

Draw me closer to YOU.
