Salam to all. It was not a busy day today. I was busy took Oreo around for him to see the outside world. I really mean it. Awwhh.. he seemed so helpless.
Okay, right to the main topic as the tittle suggests.
When the first time I received this assignment, "memorizing the selected surahs from the Holy Quran", I was like
"wow!". For me, this assignment seemed interesting to be deal with. But after I went to the half way, I realized this assignment is tough actually. I took a long time to get fully ready. After that, what I can remember until now is I am too tired.
I am okay with the memorization. Just, for you to memorize the whole thing, it takes a big effort from you, a big commitment for you to do repetition and rehearsal and not to forget for you to implement the right methods for memorizing. I learned something here, it makes know how to appreciate my time and not to fall under planning fallacy. I learned how to arrange my time, I learned what is the best method to be applied and the most important like Malay's famous saying " Usaha tangga kejayaan", means here, I learned that when you want to achieve something, you must work really hard for it and never give up because thing does not come easily to you, you are the one who must go for it.
Secondly, I just realized my ability to memorize these two surahs, 'Yaasin and Al Mulk'. Before, I was planning to memorize these two surahs but I do not think that I am able to do it because when I looked at the verses, it got my brain to tell me that it is impossible, where I can find my time? But after I did half of my memorization, I realized that actually I have the ability to do this. Of course by having the right reinforcements like my own implicit emotions. I feel proud, I feel satisfied and joy as I went through what Rasulullah has said. He wants us to have surah al Mulk in our heart which is by memorizing it. As for Yaasin, we can get so many benefits if we recite it.
Thirdly, I feel so grateful to Allah for giving me an opportunity to take Psychology of Learning as one of my subjects this semester, I gained something new here. I now understand the type of learning that we should involved in and how magnificent our brains are which are created to process as many information as they can.
Also not to forget, I have my stand here that our brain are more superb compared to the most recent computer, I phone, robots or anything else because we are the one who created them.
Even when it comes to group work, I learned how to communicate and give instructions to my other teammates in a right way because I am so called their leader in the group. For me, everybody has their own part, their own role in the group, so it is actually how well you perform it. I learned to negotiate a lot because in before, I was so strict when it comes to group work, everybody must follow what I say. But, things turned up, I ruined my own plan. So, I learned form that mistake, everybody has their own way to do their job.
Lastly, thanks to Allah for everything that He gave, gives and will gives. Not to forget my parents, thank you for the dua'a and my supportive lecturer, Dr. Lihanna and my team mates. THANK YOU. With this, I end my report. Wassalam.
