today is the first time i cried because of my master degree. im already in my 6th semester which should be my final semester. yet, i dont know what have i done all these years..believe me, there's nothing!
i found an interesting quote while doing some googling to find the answer..
" The Dream Needs To Be Stronger than the Struggle" - author unknown
This person really knows the difficulties im facing.. for me master degree is really like this.. its more about myself...
Its not about pressure coming from demanding professors on doing outside work.. its not about money.. no doubt that there are part of them..
but the major cause is...its about the death of curiosity..the death of self discipline..the death of enthusiasm..
ive always been ecstasy about study..
since my major is biology.. its all around me..the whole universe..
ive always wanted to search for more.. to know more.. the secrets..
then, i found another interesting quote, making me motivated all over again..
"A Good Dissertation is a Done Dissertation." Remember: it doesn't have to be perfect; it just has to be done!"
i love all these people who make it easier for me to undersatnd, for me to unravel this uneasiness.. to unriddle this anxiety
one thing i get for me to move forward is this.. i hope and wish everyone who further their studies know bout this. i copied it from http://www.tadafinallyfinished.com/newsletter/2009/newsjan09B.htm
Commit to Do Something Every Day Towards Completing Your Degree
The single most important strategy is to make a commitment to work on your project every single day … and the minimum amount you should dedicate each day is 12-15 minutes.
Making this type of commitment isn’t as difficult as you might think. The first step is to complete a comprehensive “task list” that includes every single item — large and small — that you will need to do in order to complete your degree.
Many of these items will fall under what we label “12-minute tasks,” such as creating the dedication, acknowledgement pages or table of contents for your dissertation, or sequencing figure numbers, table and appendices, formatting your document, or checking your bibliography against the citations in your document.
On days when you’re feeling a little less ambitious, work down your list until you reach one (or more!) of your tasks that can be completed in 12 minutes or less. No task is too small, and no item is too insignificant. Every action you take will move you closer to getting accomplishing your goal.
Each morning refer to your checklist and ask yourself, “What action can I take today to move my thesis or dissertation forward?” Resolve yourself to work on at least of those items each and every day. No task is too small, and no item — such as “creating the cover page” — is too insignificant.
Come on, you can work for just 12 minutes! Simply set your watch, cell phone, microwave or timer and see what you can accomplish in that time frame.
interesting right!
i pray to Allah so that i AM finishing my master NO MATTER WHAT!
ok, see ya!
