Saya telah belajar dan berjaya mengubah persepsi saya dalam banyak perkara sepanjang tahun ini. Meskipun banyak perkara akademik melingkari kehidupan saya, tetapi ternyata dalam sedikit pengalaman tentang sesuatu yang lain telah berjaya mengubah pandangan dan pemikiran. Saya berharap dalam keadaan ini, (praktikum) saya akan berjaya lagi mencari pandangan baru dan seterusnya memusnahkan ketakutan yang menguasai saya selama ini. Banyak perkara yang kelihatan di permukaannya jernih kadangkala keruh di dasar.
Saya juga turut belajar tentang mereka yang lain dari saya. Belajar macam ini ada dua kemungkinan, samaada saya akan menjadi seperti mereka atau ia akan menambahkan lagi keyakinan terhadap prinsip dan apa yang saya pegang selama ini. Kerana sebelum ini, saya diajar untuk tidak menilai sesuatu sehingga saya memahaminya.
Jadi, saya rasa ingin mengajak rakan-rakan yang belum pernah cuba untuk belajar sesuatu yang mereka dengar, lihat dsbnya, tetapi tidak pernah tahu untuk mempelajarinya. Kerana saya juga pernah dan sedang. Tidak rugi belajar kerana kita perlu senantiasa menyelidik dan mempersoalkan.

A Confession of a Stressful Teacher-Trainee
It hurts when you want to at least teach something successfully but you can't do that because of you being you.
The pain can be healed (I'm the type of person who won't keep pain for long), but it is stressful to think that you haven't fulfilled your responsibility as a teacher. You don't want to only sit in front of the students without having them understand your lesson. It's not learning!
It is also sad that you cannot be someone inspiring to the students.
It's even harder when the students are better than you.
It is the time you will start asking? Am I choosing the wrong career? I don't mind the pain or the workload, they are worth it if I am able to teach my students the way they deserve. But I hate the pressure, the stress, the workload when everything is fruitless, when I couldn't achieve anything in the end.
But it's only first week. I hope I will progress. Hope I can change from a stressful teacher trainee to a successful teacher trainee by the end of this prac. Amin

How to avoid/ curb arrogance
One of the famous Imam, Imam Syafie has provided us with some tips on how to curb the above problem. Arrogance or "riya'" is one of the major sins in Islam and can lead to 'shirk'.
1. When you meet the elderly, respect them because they have worshipped Allah long time ago.
2. When you meet small children, be humble to them because they are still pure, innocent and free from any sins.
3. When you meet ulama', respect them for their knowledge. They know a lot more than you.
4. When you meet ignorant people (jahil), be aware that they commit the sins because they do not know, and you are worse than them if you commit the sins but you know they are wrong.
5. When you meet non-muslims people, respect them and have in mind that maybe one day they will embrace Islam.
Islam is beautiful becuase muslims are obliged to respect others and to avoid prejudice. Indeed we have no right to judge others and to tell that he/she is going to hell because it's the end that decides everything.
