Yo…! To all my friends who I met and commuted before, it has been century since I post something on blog. All these are not without a reason.
After all these time in University Putra Malaysia I has experience all kind of stuff I have never experience before, for good and bad.
Ok, let me talks about people here first. Generally, I have met all kind of people here:
• The people that fooling around in UPM and not knowing what is their purpose in here. I daresay, they just want to enjoy in here.
• The people that is power crazy in politics, their do whatever they can to climb up high in UPM without making benefit for mankind and humanity. (Can you see the madness?? Just to become top of UPM for a few months. Don’t they have better things to do?)
• The people who like money so much, they started their own business in here. (They generate money from all kind of method. Eg, selling burger (selling all those kind of stuff), they have all those kind of alternative for this purposes.)
• The people who like to manipulate things around to suite their likings. These people like politics also. (Maybe, these people don’t have the skill to survive in that field.)
• The people who just want to study in UPM. (They have no life!!!)
• The people who like their society, club, so much that they sacrifices their academic result for their society/club’s goods. PS: The context I’m talking about is about the society/club that rarely brings good to mankind. And not all society/club is like that!
These are the extreme people I have meet in UPM. And that is not all, there are more to count and be describe. Just that I couldn’t do it all.
I tell you my friends, most of the people I have said up there↑↑ have no sense of purpose “Of why they want to enter university, what are they going to do after university”. For me, I view them as the waste of money and knowledge!!
But though, there are still a lot people do well in Uni. Well, at least they are good enough to find equilibrium between everything in U.
Entering university for me is like a maze, it is easy for you to lose your own directions unknowingly. If you didn’t set your own priority right, you will definitely lose your own directions to all those things around you. (Or rather say your priority in university will be shifting according to others. Or properly keep on shifting as time changes)
When you first get into university, those senior in there will properly say that time management is the most important skill to attain, and they will also say that this you will learn in university. (But I didn’t see much of them have it as well.)
Well, after I have been there for one year. I think should say this for those who wish to excel in university.
First things, before you enter university, you should get your thought and mindset straight. To get this done, you have to ask yourselves why you want to get into university for. What are your aims to achieve? How do you see yourselves after you graduate? What will you do after you graduate? What do you want for you own life? Ask more about yourselves and search inside of yourselves. This is important as you needs to have you mindset, thought and aims set as firm as possible.
Be confidence in yourselves and fight for your aims.
Then, you need to set your own priority according your aims that have been set by you. This is to prevent you from getting lost in the maze.
Then, what you needs next is you actions. The actions that you make use of to achieve you aims. You have to think what kind of actions you wish to carry out to make sure you reach your goals. That will depends on you and what you want.
After that, you need to learn three things: self-discipline, self-management, and continuality. Self-management, manages your health, manage your time, and manage everything that is about you.
For me, self-discipline and continuality is inter-related. You got to have self-discipline to continue your actions, goals. This is important as you need self-discipline to prevent you from slacken or slow down on your actions to reach your goals. As there is an old saying: to make an effort is easy, but to continue your effort is demanding. (As you need high self-discipline to achieve that.)

ppl who enter uni r expected to hav tht 'all-rounder' aspect, to be good in their academics, social life, spiritually, politically, and maybe even business-wise. sometimes it rly daunting when someone goes all the way to step over other ppls heads in order to achieve something, but sometimes we dont realize tht we might've fallen for the same trappings tht we try so hard to avoid.
but most of all, enjoy ur time in uni. i know i am~
