Science VS Art

Good day, everybody! Now, I had gained more and more confidence in writing this blog already. Indeed, journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. (Ya ya, whatever.) So, to cut it short, I will carry on with my opinion on science and art which quite contradict in general but actually is the same. (Hahaha, weird right?) Here are my reasons to support my stand.
Before we discuss the topic any further, I feel that it is wise to know the background of the topic. Now, why there must be equations or theories in our life? Well, the answer is just simple. It is just to simplify our life? (Huh, what the heck I am talking about?) Yes, it is quite true though, because science helps us to somehow estimate certain values or predict the occurrence of something so that we can anticipate and ready for it as a safety precaution. For example, a forensic scientist needs to calculate the projection angle of a bullet that penetrates the body of a victim and an astronomer needs to estimate when and where will be the next solar eclipse happened. On the other hand, art also seem to be counterfeited the nature of science which it is full of flowery word and quite hard to understand the real meaning behind it. But, I bet the purpose of the poet, author and so on is to release their pent up emotion and express it literally rather than figuratively which Miss Chan called it catharsis.
Now, it is time to reveal my own point. You see, Tony Buzan (the famous Mind-mapping maker in the world) has created the concept of the art of science and the science of art. (Wow, I don’t know we can combine both.) Amazingly, this is the truth and we can use it to simplify our way of life. You must be wondering how, right? Art of science is actually telling us that science is not necessarily boring or complicated. We can use our own imagination to illustrate natural phenomenon well in our mind. Like the greatest scientist of 20th century said, imagination is more important than knowledge. This concept can be applied using the mind mapping, charts and pictures to smoothen the flow of our ideas and knowledge about science generally. In contrast, art is not compulsorily pretty in scattering objects and pattern on big canvasses. Using the right techniques, we can organize the features of our painting such as background, harmony, or what-so-ever. For instance, Albert Einstein used to ask his students to imagine circling around the solar system (which later on points that the universe is actually curvy, not continuously in straight line) and Mozart’s note usually organized; making every concert he conducted into a success which is going to be remembered in the history of music.
Next, problems and solutions, students nowadays have problem in relating and applying their knowledge that they learned into their daily life. Most of them thought reading and memorizing is the only way to study (Wrong thinking!!!). Moreover, they just blindly doing notes in black and white and do not making effort to modify it into any proper form to accommodate the need of using it (for example, during the examination). Now, we have the Tony Buzan’s concept as our solution. The student can make their note as colourful as the rainbow (Do you know the efficiency of using colourful notes is 75 %?). With these, we are not only pass with flying colours but also stimulate our senses (our eyes especially).
All in all, we can lead our life even easier and achieve success in much more meaningful way by using science and art efficiently. There is no such thing as science versus art. It is the matter of using them until certain extent. Please bear in mind that our left brain is controlling area of science and the right brain is mainly on art section in our mind. So, train both of them to boost your intelligence to the maximum. The only person who has the ability to do it in the history of mankind is Leonardo Da Vinci (engineer, architect, scientist, poet, singer etc). That’s all, folks! Until then, bye bye!

Education

Hello there, hmm, actually, I still feel quite awkward in writing blog. The reason is I hate to influence other people’s mind and worse still, it may make other people feel uneasy on me. So, just forgive for any inconvenience that I caused. (No hard feeling ya?). But, for Miss Chan and academic purposes, I will give my best in expressing my point of view.

You see, my family and I always think that education will be forever our main priority in our life. Hence, I will start with education. First, I would like to question,” What is the definition of education?” Well, the answer could be subjective, but from my point of view, education can be defined as the process of learning or teaching or simply obtain and pass knowledge around us or in bigger context, around the world. Nevertheless, education has been around since the dawn of human civilization. This has placed a great deal of importance in education that eventually becomes a universal yardstick in almost aspect of our life.

In past, humans are mostly known for his physical strength and the number of land he conquered throughout the world. Moreover, the wealth that possessed by a person would make him to be recognized in the pages of history. But, all that are about to change. In era of globalization, people are now analyzed from the level of his or her education. Apart from that, education will give the weaker gender an equal opportunity to succeed and thrive for success. Besides that, education is now a necessity for people in present as it will be one of the requirements to further studies and job interviews. Automatically, education is now becoming stepping stone for most people to succeed in this world.

In terms of society and country, education is one of the most important features to reflect ones country’s image. For instance, in Europe itself, about 90% of citizens there managed to get themselves into higher institutions and graduate at the end. This shows they really value knowledge throughout their life which useful to be applied even after their graduation. Furthermore, they use the concept of life learning that emphasize the practicality on applying the knowledge ones learnt before. In my opinion, education is not passing your exams and tests with flying colors or places you as being no. 1 in your class but, education is imperative in gaining knowledge from the day you were born and use it in order to make our life easier.

Of course, there are plenty of ways to execute education in life such as reading, discussion, seminars and so on but, it will be wise to start at the very young age. I’m not saying that old people can’t learn or we should stop educate ourselves when we are old. What I’m trying to say here is to have a greater impact of education, we must sow the seed first rather than plant the tree later. Simply, I can say that the young minds should be easier to be educated than the old ones as they are quite ‘fragile’ and still looking for their identities. This is quite common in everywhere which kids are turned into ‘long-term investments’ as parents would spend every single penny in their pocket and utilize every ‘connections’ they have just to make sure their children get themselves into the best school.

In short, education is one of the things that we should have in life. Undeniably, it benefits us in many ways. One of my friends told me, “What’s the point of having Ferrari car if you don’t have brain at all?” (Well, she’s right) This only proves one thing, ladies and gentlemen; indeed, knowledge is power. Until then, see you next time in the next post.

Hello everybody!!!

Greetings to everyone, there is no need formalities. I believe most people recognize me as Amin (More details on 'About Me'). So, talking about myself, I am the eldest among my siblings. My dad works as free lance consultant (believe me, he has multiple talents which quite amusing), whereas my mum is a public relation officer at PERKESO (She is the greatest mum in the whole wide world).
I am actually quite optimistic and flexible person (No, I am not a contorist) that really helps me to adapt in any environment (I think). Maybe I'm not that handsome compared to Brad Pitt or The Jonas Brothers, but hey, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Oh yeah, I am family man. I put my family as my priority. Another thing is, I got the feeling which I can change the world with my own bare hands in the future. I don't know how, but it is just a matter of time. Before I forget, guardian is the definition of my name (Muhaimin). I always believe that "It's not what I am underneath but, what I do that defines me". By this I mean, action speaks louder than word. Until then, you will have more than meets the eyes later. See ya!
