Project 1A my HOME ~ Content 1 "What I Read Today, 06 July 2009, 0900-1200"

Today is 6 July 2009. I have my first lecture for RUS 101 subject.
Our lecturer, Mr Wan Burhanuddin initially taught us about Reading & Documenting.
He has introduced six elements to us and these elements are stated as below:


1st element is INTENTION.
This is the most important element because when we start doing something, we must have intention. It is just like when you are hungry you will think of eating (your intention to eat) then only you will looking for food. Without intention we are unable to get things done. But before having intention, we need to possess knowledge about the things we want to do.

2nd element is ACT.
Act is important as well. After having intention, we will take action. For example, after we intend to eat. we will act by going to restaurant, cooking by ourself or go to buy food. Intention is useless unless we take action. This is why people always said "Don't just talk, we must take action".

3rd element is PRODUCT.
This is the outcome of our intention and act. However the product can be desirable or undesirable. Just like after we study hard for the exam, we may get a good result but we still stand a chance to failed it. As saying goes, what we have done is what we get. In a nutshell, product is the consequence of our act.

4th element is ACTORS.
An actor is defined as a person who acts and get things done. When we want something done we must get a doer. Thus a doer is the actor. By having a simple example, when we hungry we intend to eat. This is followed by our action of looking for food. Since we are the ones who are acting therefore we are the actors.

5th element is RULES.

When we want to do something,there are always some rules for us to comply to. Rules are principles and it is a basic generalization that is commonly accepted. Besides, it can be used as a basis for reasoning. For instance, when we are driving on the road, there is velocity limit which we can't exceed. We must obey the rule or else we may be fined. Rules mention what we can do and what we can't do under certain condition.

6th element is SITE.

According to the web definition, site is the piece of land which something is located. Let us take USM as our example, our campus is situated at Penang island. So Penang Island is the site for USM. When we take action we will usually choose an suitable site for our intention. This is the reason USM is built in the bustling city and not on a hilltop.
