:: PhD Course ::

Attending a PhD course recently has really made my day. I am absolutely motivated. Alhamdulillah, He is the only One that has power to lift up my motivation, and He is the only One as well that has power to do the other way around.

I finished my first day in the methodological course organised by my institution, and I am greatly thankful to Allah, providing me the oppurtunity to attend this course. I had the rest of the days completing the course with full of passion. Not just motivated to hear the rest of the talks and experience-sharing, but also motivated to put both of my feet onto my research track as well. Thanks to the organiser!

The speakers were really good with their stunning backgrounds. Their experiences in guiding a lot of PhD students to graduate with flying colours illustrate that a PhD is a journey. I know the reality that it needs a great amount of work, commitment, sacrification and few other things, but I relatively do agree over his illustration on PhD. I'm not trying to be overconfident here, plus I would say I still have not put even a step in my research path, but it is more about motivating myself. I am very well motivated.

A number of speakers reiterated several times, "It is just a PhD, you are not solving the whole world's problems". Yes, it is true indeed.

InsyaAllah, I will make my way!
