" If we are not prepared to work hard for ourselves, then we deserve to be left behind." ~ Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad...

Sabda Nabi S.A.W: "Umat akhir zaman akan ditimpa penyakit “wahan” yang menyebabkan Allah cabut kehebatan Islam dalam hati. " Apa itu "wahan"?" tanya sahabat. Jawab Baginda: “Cintakan dunia dan takut mati!”...

Daripada Aisyah bahawa Rasulullah bersabda: "Melihat pada tiga perkara adalah ibadah. Melihat wajah ibu bapa, melihat Al-Quran dan melihat lautan." - (Riwayat Abu Nuaim) dan ditambah dengan "Melihat Ka'abah". - (Riwayat Abu Daud)...

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." ~ President John F. Kennedy, September 12, 1962

Staff Development Course...

Today I went to the Staff Development course entitled "Ethical Thinking in Research". This course was design to help researchers understand ethical issues that might be incorporated during research. It covers health & safety, codes & conduct as well as applying ethical policies. As my research involves participants, all of these ethical issues must be recognise and handled properly.

Loughborough University requires us to participate 30 days of these staff development programme through out our duration of studies. So far, I've manage to fulfil 10 days. So I've enrolled myself to other courses as long as it does not disturb my research process.
