student vs. professor

#reposted. Read and enjoy the conversation!
 
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor : You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does satan come from ?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor : That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor : Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor : Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor : Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

 
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor : So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor : If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor : I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

By the way, that student was "EINSTEIN."

right answer vs. right question

"Education is not just to answer the question right, but also to ask the right question"

Lagi ngajar anak SD di sebuah bimbingan belajar Jakarta...

Gw : "Mas, hari ini kelas saya materinya apa?"

Guru1 : "Harusnya sih KPK dan FPB"

Gw : "Gampang dong"

Guru2 : "Iyalah, palingan yang susah kalo angkanya ribuan atau angkanya banyak"

===masuk kelas, isinya 10 bocah===

Gw : "Begini yaa cara cari KPK dan FPB..........." <15 menit penjelasan>

==anak-anak pun mencatat===

Gw : "Oke, sekarang waktunya ngerjain soal. Silahkan buka halaman 43 yaa smuanyaa"

===9 anak langsung mengerjakan dengan lahap===

anak10 : "Kak, maaf saya mau tanya"

Gw : "Silahkaan, mau tanya apaa?"

anak10 : "Kegunaan FPB di kehidupan sehari-hari apaa yaah kakaak?"

Gw : "......................."

Shocking moment bukan karena gw khawatir ga bisa jawab pertanyaan itu, tapi gw takjub. Saat gw mencoba menjawab pertanyaan dari 1 orang anak, 9 anak yang lain terpaku dan melihat ke gw.

maybe they wondered, "is he capable to be our teacher?"

Pertanyaan yang hebat! I thought he was an idiot, but I gotta admit, I didn't expect that kind of question from a kid. Di saat 9 orang lain terpaku untuk menjawab pertanyaan dengan benar, dia menanyakan pertanyaan yang benar.

not an easy job to be a mentor nor a teacher, you gotta prepare EVERYTHING.

Passion!

Hanya 1 dari 10 orang yang bisa membedakan antara Passion & Occupation

What does He want from us? He want you to be THE BEST of YOU! And to become a great you, you have to work based on your Passion!!!

Great money will follow a great work. and a great work comes from your Passion!!

Passion adalah ketika lo rela bangun lebih pagi dan tidur lebih larut, pantang berhenti sebelum sempurna, dan all-out. So, have you find your Passion?

Jazz improvisation : love or ego?

Setelah cukup lama bermusik (terkesan terkenal), gw nampaknya cukup tertarik dengan fenomena show-off. Apalagi di genre ~bernuansa Jazz (bisa PopJazz, FunkJazz, JazzBlues, or whatsoever).

Dulu guru gw Glen Dauna pernah bilang kalo di dalam musik selalu ada pesan, dan yang membedakannya adalah apabila musik tersebut dimainkan dari hati, bukan karena ego semata. Dan di genre ini, dikenal sebuah  garis tipis antara love dan ego yang sering disebut improvisasi.

Musisi yang hebat bukan semata-mata mampu mengeluarkan nada-nada sulit, bergaya di atas panggung, instrumen musik yg canggih, melainkan musisi dengan ilmu yang baik namun tetap humble dalam berkarya.

mau tau tentang apa itu Ionian, Dorian, Phyrgian, dst. ? tunggu kelanjutannya =)
