I'm grateful for having a charismatic and passionate PM Tun Mahathir.

He loves his job so much that he will take all necessary steps to keep visions of his ideal Malaysia alive. Make Malaysia great again with 3rd National Car, unlike useless PM6 who only knows how to build MRT when you already have LRT & Monorail.

He is such a powerful figure, that no past or present foe is able to dethrone him. He even advises economic superpowers like USA, telling her President to resign!

He has a squeaky clean background, never being charged with financial scandal involvements, unlike Najib!

He is also a man of his word, always repeating his promise of handing over the reins to his long-time acquaintance Anwar!

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. He even went to a conference with UMNO and PAS, watching Pakatan's enemies closely!

LONG LIVE THE GODFATHER OF MALAYSIA!

.......so-called charismatic butmore like a simpleton pakpandir of the 21st century who imagines better STEM-centric workforce by changing language.......

.....as though it will be a permanent solution and no flip-flop after a year or two.

Mastering STEM has to come from the heart. Start from young- teach, cultivate and encourage curiosity using Socratic method. Emphasis of lessons in school must strictly be based on evidence-based truth only, keeping personal beliefs and delusions at bay. The youngs must be nurture to be capable of think out-of-the-box to challenge anything conventional or traditional, hence navigate confidently and independently out of Plato Cave to achieve significant breakthrough in their life subsequently - to survive in this era of IR 4.0 and beyond.

At the end, be grateful that his efforts are all nonstarters, and nothing changed. Time and tide wait for no man.

Dear qqq3,
See what have you done to Mr. Koon?
He is now "Cutting off the nose to spite the face” in his latest JAKS article.
Are you still in his email CC list? If so would you write a personal letter to him asking him to get over with JAKS. You are and he is right in buying JAKS because of Vietnam power plant but the only problem is he bought JAKS too early, too much with margin finance and had to sell due to margin call. And I am wrong to write about JAKS conspiracy theory, I am sorry.

Thank you

* After all, This Is the Age When Your Brain Is at Its Most Random.....

.....In research published last month in the journal PLOS Computational Biology, mathematician Nicholas Gauvrit and his team at the LABORES Scientific Research Lab, a research institution in Paris, discovered that when it comes to random thinking and decision-making, a person’s ability peaks at about age 25 and then gradually declines for the next several decades, eventually dropping off sharply at around age 60...

Gauvrit and his colleagues argued that the ability to mimic a random process is a mentally difficult task, requiring sustained and focused attention, among other highly complex cognitive skills. In other words, if your answers are truly random, you’re at the top of your game, cognitively speaking.

Which, in turn, means that a person’s ability to generate randomness can be used to help determine a baseline of cognitive function. Other studies show that success on these sorts of tests is also associated with creativity. Some researchers have argued that randomness is what allows human beings to brainstorm and solve problems.

Dear qqq3,

Using your 'half cup' analogy, shouldn't we conclude that:

To say that every thing in life is about attitude , and happiness is about gratitude.........just fill uo half of the cup.....

And the other half says that everything in life is about chance/opportunity, and happiness is about selflessness?

Posted by EngineeringProfit > 2020-02-11 08:14 | Report Abuse

Similarly, religiosity only fills half a cup of spirituality.

* Analysis of data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS)-Kindergarten Cohort to complete the study. They examined the effects of parents' religious attendance and how the religious environment in the household (frequency of parent-child religious discussions and spousal conflicts over religion) influenced a nationally representative sample of third-graders. They reviewed the children's psychological adjustment, interpersonal skills, problem behaviors, and performance on standardized tests (reading, math, and science).

They found that third-graders' psychological adjustment and social competence were positively correlated with various religious factors. However, students' performance on reading, math, and science tests were negatively associated with several forms of parental religiosity.

The findings suggest that parental religiosity is a mixed blessing that produces significant gains in social psychological development among third-graders while potentially undermining academic performance, particularly in math and science.

"Religion emphasizes moral codes designed to instill values such as self-control and social competence," said Bartkowski. "Religious groups' prioritization of these soft skills may come at the expense of academic performance, which is generally diminished for youngsters raised in religious homes when compared with their non-religious peers
