Well, I grown up in an environment where critical thinking is not the main way of study. We just churned out everything from the textbook and rewrite it in exams. That's why there are a lot of 11As, 12 As 16 As people around the country.
But to be frank, there isn't lot of us that are critical thinker. No wonder it is difficult for HR to employ quality employees though there are tonnes and tonnes of graduates in the market. Well, unlike western countries like US, UK, etc countries where students are more independent, study by their own and less dependent on the lecturers or tutor, Malaysian tends to be more dependent. They like to be spoon feed. I don't mean to be offensive, but majority are like that. It is not all the problem of the student. The education system needs to be responsible as well.
Actually, I admit I am more independent than other friends in studying by myself. It is just that I hardly apply CRITICAL THINKING. Just that sometimes it is quite difficult when u are studying alone, or with a gang of friends who are not critical thinker as well, and critical thinkers have their own gang and does not want to include u in the gang, and study in hostel where there is often people walking up an down and distract your concentration. Moreover, with a library or study room where people chat more than self study and last but not least, a weird roommate who walk in and out the room, constantly distracting u from studying.
Life in Monash is tough. It is like u are given all the opportunities here, the platform to success is in front of u and the only thing u need to do is take the initiative to grab the chance and have the courage to step on the platform. But it is ME again. I don't appreciate what I have now. I don't grab opportunities. I let go chances.
Eg. we are allowed to express ourselves freely in class, clear any doubts but WHY I remained silent. Well, maybe I dont understand the topic, but I can ask. Why don't I ask? Why I remain silent. I need to change myself. I need to learn to be brave to talk. I am not like that last semester. At least I am only quiet in marketing class, but for this semester. I only talk in Money & Capital class and sometimes in management class. Why I become worse? Why I wont appreciate opportunities? I am here, in Monash University, to LEARN, not keep quiet.
I need to apply critical thinking in my studies. Not merely study and churned out everything from the book. Analyse the question.
1. Why CCA is relevant but not reliable.
2. Why there is a need to seperate profit from operation and realised cost savings?
3. What is negligence?
4. How to prove a person is negligent?
5. What is the examples of cases?
6. How u apply the case?
7. How to give examples?
8. What is remoteness?
9. What is human skills?
10. How managers apply human skills?
11. What is the strength and weakness of the concepts by Fayol, Mintzberg and Katz?
AND
Last but not least
Why I am not a critical thinker?
Why I don't think?
Why I always don't appreciate what I have?
Why I always let go chances?
Why I am still single?
Why I don't make use of what I have?
Why I always complain but it is so difficult for me to improve?
Why I am not doing what I want to do as said in my New Year Resolution?
Why? Why? Why?
Doubts..............
