5W1H

I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who

by Rudyard Kipling (1902).

If life is a book or journal... Then basic journalism can be a good analogy... Even if life is an investigation then the principles are still the same which is 5W1H...
They are: 1. What
2.Who
3.When
4.Where
5.Why
6.How
In my opinion, the arrangement of W n H can be in any sequences.
For a journal or writing to be acceptable or rated as complete, these basic questions must be answered before any extra elaboration been included.
If life is a journal then all these basic questions should be answered before any extra colours or spices been added.
I'm not going to explain on each of the basic question but would like to add a different perspective concerning the 'H'. The only 'H' among the five 'W'.
For me, when all 'W' had been answered in life, then the 'H' will be the determinant for life journal to be arranged and polished splendidly.
The finding for all the 'W' answers might take some big portion of a person life and a draft of life journal will be formed during the finding of the 'W' answers.
When all the 'W' were answered and a quite complete draft are formed then the editing and finalising work started by exploitation of the one 'H'.
For me, it is often individual at maturity level will dare to say that they have a complete draft of a life journal.
So, I always b careful not to claim or be overconfident whenever I might find a possible answer to any 'W' because I'm afraid of false facts.
Furthermore, I am still very green in the world, the things that I know all this while might only be information per see and not real facts or knowledge.
In other to minimise the risk, I'm avoiding the generalisation of '5W1' for the whole journal of life. I do this by dividing the journal of life into sub-topic or chapters and tackle each topic by using the '5W1H' principles.
By going into topics, I can explore in details each life issues using '5W1H'. This also will save me from venturing wildly into life topics that are yet suitable for me to handle. Although I had mixed around with all sort of people at various age level, but still I don't consider myself authoritative enough to discussed certain issues of higher maturity stages.
Quite often we meet young adult who is ambitious enough to explore all life issues altogether at the same time without been aware of their limitation thus become confuse and their judgement clouded.
Life is a process, a journey and discoveries so face it with open eyes... Eyes that see not only looking...
May God show me the way...

Light at tragic moment

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Words From my Sifu

"Our students now had become biological robot with the internet, radio and television as their heart... If all these stop then they will die"
Student nowadays had ignored the need to focus on basic principle. Most teachers also failed to embed strong basic into their student. Industry personal credited certificate with outstanding grade. The policy makers too busy installing flashy component to the student and system without proper attention on developing a strong basic component. In general, people celebrate more on latest technology, high end innovation, awesome additional skills and groovy personality which in fact copied from other countries or system. The effort to create, develop and build strong basic knowledge are ignored since the basic component won't create a good popular image and very slow to fruit. The results? We have create a generation of youngsters with artificial knowledge and ability. They only have good cover but weak content. They can talk and discuss splendidly over the table but become total blank when tested to tackle the real problems. The lack the abilities to handle twisted facts and mechanism. They know how to operate million dollars equipment but fail to interpret the concept within. They are able to obtain results but fail to explain the science behind it. Once all this machine stop they will stand there in silence. They cannot comprehend the real knowledge which lies in the basic mechanism n concept. Once the express information pool like the internet stop... These generation will die! This country will collapse! because we are just a bunch of biological robot and not knowledgeable nation!
