Appreciate

While watching the movie “Soul”, one of the characters told a very interesting story. There once was a younger fish who swam up to an older fish. The younger fish asked the older fish where he could find the ocean. The older fish looked at him and said, “The ocean? That’s where you are now”. The younger fish replied angrily that the place they were in was water not the ocean. My interpretation of this is story is that sometimes we build up high expectations of something that even when we get it, we wouldn’t be able to appreciate it as it is.

FRGS Workshop

Things to remember when writing a FRGS proposal

  • Avoid predatory journals in your proposal. It will be rejected right the way.
  • Be modest with the budget
  • Don’t over claim
  • For young researchers, it is good to have a mentor in your group
  • write it clear and make it brief

Potential Title for FRGS

During the question and answer session, got some good tips from PM Dr Nanthakumar Loganathan, and perhaps the potential research is to focus on B40 – golongan miskin bandar.

Thank you PM Dr Nantha for the brilliant idea.
