My PhD Journey…
Excitement (Honeymoon) Period: Got my ‘passport’ (CMBA) to PhD – ‘My destiny’ Accepted by faculty and supervisor – ‘I must be good’ Given full Zamalah scholarship – ‘I deserve it’
Ignorance Period: Thought it’d be smooth-sailing
– ‘No sweat’ Procrastinating attitude
– ‘Long time to go, no worries’ Inconsistent reading/writing
– ‘Just choose what I want’

My PhD Journey… (cont.)
Struggling Period: Confused, uncertain – ‘I am lost in a jungle’ Internal & external doubt – ‘What am I getting myself into’ Exhausted during qualitative process – ‘OMGssss’
Self-lifting Period: Re-planned, moved forward step by step – ‘Go to sleep,
tomorrow will be alright’ Attended workshops – ‘pay the
price to go and learn; invest’ Talked to other postgraduate
students – ‘You’re not alone’

My PhD Journey… (cont.)
Assuring Period: Co-authoring papers – ‘I should be on the right track’ Understanding what I did not – ‘Only now I see…’ Balancing between learning new things and maintaining
the main study – ‘I admit I don’t know, so I wanna learn’
Seeing-the-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel Period: Analyzing and writing – ‘No easy but will do it’ To be continued … – ‘I am savoring the learning process’

Learning Experience…
Set priorities and obey them Always plan, set deadline & take corrective action Have consistent discussion with supervisor Talk to others & learn from them Invest in study – time, effort and money Be positive, open-minded & take the challenge Keep feet on the ground Don’t be afraid to make mistakes or look silly

Dos and Don’ts…
Dos: Be accountable to study; invest in it. ‘Add’ supervisor as good friend. Learn from others; share with others. Backup all files & keep record regularly. Be happy, content & thankful at UNIMAS.
Don’ts Languish, procrastinate. Assume supervisor & staffs are ‘slaves’. Get over things quickly. Take offence easily. Forget the ones who guide & help you.

Some Inspiring Quotes… (cont.)
Success is not about winning others, its about helping others

Concluding Notes…
Gift from students for guiding them.
To me guiding students is sth spontaneous if I can be of help; no reward is needed nor expected. Besides, I am fully aware that I am indebted to those who guide me in academia, and one of the best ways to repay them is to pass on what I have learnt from them to students.
Nevertheless, thank you.
