Meeting My Mentor

Did your University practise this Mentor-Mentee tradition, where in our first year, we will be divided in to groups and taken by a lecturer or prof as mentee. They will be our mentor.

They will play a role as our mother/father in university.. They will be concern about our studies and results and we can meet them anytime when we need help.

I have a great mentor (Dr. M). To me, his M means motivation. Every time after meeting him, I will be refill all my determination and get so super motivated XD.

The first time when I met him (in a group, not me alone), he hold a box of paper clips and ask us what is the weight of that little box.

We all guessed and finally he answered, "It is not the weight of the box that matter, it is about how long you hold it. If it's 5kg and you just hold it for 5ses, it wont be a big deal, but if it's 500g but you need to hold it for an hour, now which is more tiring?"

The moral of the story is, dont hold on the problem yourself, we can always share it with someone and every problem have a solution.

Today, our course have the mentor-mentee session again and I'm so excited to meet my mentor again.. XD

First, he ask about our studies and the problems we are facing, is there anything we cant catch up(he says he can meet our lecturer and help us solve the problem) or how is our results last semester..

Some of his meaningful phrases today.. XD I wanna blog about it because I'm afraid that I might forget it.

~*~The most important part in our university life is not the graduation, it the the journey to graduation. Everyone can graduate, but not all of us can fully mastered everything we learned or gained knowledge by our graduation time. 

As long we have tried our best, there is nothing to be regret or sad about.

The most pity things that happened is, one never put a single effort but he gets good result by luck. He may score but that's the only time he can do so. 

~*~ Dont cry because of the sun set, because when the tears cover your eyes and you may not see how beautiful the shining stars was. 

He says, dont simply make decisions because of our emotions, because we may end up missing something better. We still have a long way to go, why so bothered bout the mistakes now? We can always look forward and hope for better.

Let bygone be bygone.

~*~When we are doing group work, dont fussed because that we did more, and never ever go to your lecturers or our boss (when we are working) and complain that we are the only one working. This will just make the others think that we are making up problems. 

And besides that, this can let the others understand how weak is our teamwork and how bad is our co-operating skills. 

People will think that we are not able to be a leader or making the others to listen, to work for us.

No company will want to hire a person that can only work by himself and no one will hire someone who failed to get people's support and recognition. They need people who can communicate and socialise. This is for the benefit of the company.

People will know who have done the most when the time comes.

And one more important advice, "Dont skip meals because we can lowered our productivity when there is not enough glucose supply in our bloodstream".

  

 That's all!! Bye byes~
