so we had thought of what we wanted to do.
I wanted to do Kahlil Gibran and "The Broken Wings". Why Kahlil Gibran? Why "The Broken Wings?" Nothing in particular. It was just that I had the desire to see whether could I use what I've learnt thorough all of my years spent as an undergraduate (and still an undergraduate) in UPM. I've wanted to see whether I could, or could not use everything that I've learnt in my intellectual arsenal to hop on a new literature piece and give it a shot.
People always say it is always better to be safer. I think the 'safest' way to really gauge my abilities is to jump to a new story/narrative/novel that Dr. Malachi Edwin will approve of, and see how I progress through.
Some of you may be asking, "what about your academic marks? Don't they mean anything to you?"
I always believe in a strong outcome learning process where I'm one of them who takes the learning process down to earth; take it, use it, check it. I am more interested to see whether I've developed as a literature scholar to be. Yes, there are many things that I would like myself to be groomed into; possibly psychology, or literature scholar, a teacher, and few ideas. Irregardless, I had thought that the best test is to literally jump into the fire. It may be unnecessary, but the best trial is always in the form of 'trial by fire'.
That was the reason why I chose Kahlil Gibran. I happened to read two of his books, and I felt I should try myself out.
More on the piece 'Broken Wings' later.
