Learn to appreciate and appreciate Bhutanese’s work.

Appreciate their work. Appreciate the speech they make. Appreciate the team work and in general, appreciate whatever they do and they say. It cost nothing for appreciating and nothing is loss from us. To be frank, for appreciating the people for doing something, always have good effect. People encounter with courage when their works are being appreciated. Courage of proceeding further. Courage of putting more hardship to have perfect outcome. Indeed a person who is being appreciated and who feels his appreciated will always do more than what we expected. We appreciate the people who appreciate other’s works.

 “The greatest humiliation in life, is to work hard on something from which you expect great appreciation, and then fail to get it” ~E.W Howe. This indicate how much the appreciation is important to be implemented.

More the people educate, more the people understand how to appreciate the people. Educating to complete the course will never understand the importance of implementing appreciation. Understanding of appreciation will come only if we educate one’s heart and soul. I am happy to witness people appreciating other’s hard work but there may be few who will never appreciate other’s hard work. I will bring one simple reality that is being happened with few Bhutanese (young boys and girls). They always say something bad to Bhutanese movie, song and many more. I don’t understand why they blame. Regarding movie and song, they blame because they watch Hollywood and Bollywood movie which is exceptionally good in all-rounder. For me, I appreciate the Bhutanese movie, song and many more because I am Bhutanese. Bhutanese should appreciate Bhutanese’s work and of course we have to appreciate other countries’ work too. I appreciate Bhutanese work because given a chance I can’t direct and come up with simple movie or produce simple song. I don’t think one who blame Bhutanese movies and song can do so. More or less they are also like me. I am sorry if one who falls under this category is hurt with my words.

Let’s (Bhutanese) appreciate Bhutanese’s work first and appreciate other’s in second place. 

Rinzin Khando, A wonderful friend.

From Left: Rinzin Dorji (My Friend), Jigme zangpo.

Somebody has rightly said “Friendship is the divine feeling or relationship between friends”. Friendship should be maintained with care after it is built ultimately. It would difficult to live without a friends and real friendship will bring a great assistance in one’s life.

Rinzin Khando which otherwise known as as Rinzin Dorji was one of my best friend. I describe my friend a trustworthy. He is friendliness with any other friends. I personally like him.

He was my friend since July, 2011. We meet in College of Science and technology and we take same course, Electronics and Communication Engineering. We become a good friends within a due course of time. A year pass by, the bond of our friendship grew stronger and stronger. Where ever we go and where ever we stay when we were in college, we were always together. Going to Karpandi (Phutsholing, Bhutan) Gonpa and enjoying our journey together was the memory I would remember throughout my life. Always going to mess together with making loud noise is another memory adding on the list of memory of friendship. Among all memory, we have one memory to be remembered. The music we played and the song we sung after our class and every hour whenever we have free period. It was an enjoyable moment with my friend. We enjoy our friendship for three years and we would have enjoy again one more year but unfortunately we were separated.

I am here in Mondragon University, Spain but my friend is in College of science and Technology, Bhutan. Even though we are far apart but I have in my mind “out of sight is not out of mind”. Togetherness with you, shall be my best memory captured in my heart and soul. Goodness you shown to me shall never out of my mind. For your love and care for me, I have my love and care to you in return.

I have a longing prayer that we will always a wonderful friends. I realize friendship is undoubtedly a heavenly things. Life shall be clourless and slow without a friends. Good friends are always a precious gift.

My love and care is always with you. I am missing your meaningful company and will be missing your company throughout my life.

We start our journey from Mondragon to San Sebastian. From Mondragon its north-east direction and it take one hour drive by bus.

We had enjoyable trip visiting bay of North Atlantic Ocean (Concha beach) and even attain party that day.

On the way to party.

My roommate in Spain.

Loneliness can be of emotional loneliness and physical loneliness. Physical loneliness can be cured if we have friends and even an emotional loneliness will cure to some extent. My loneliness in Spain was cure after I got friends.

Mr. Patrik

Now, I will introduce my new friends that I got after reaching Spain. They aren’t Spanish. They are from different country like me and here as an international student. They are my roommate.  

We are of four in flat. Two from Italy, they are Italian and one from Slovakia, he is Slovakian. Let me first introduce Slovakian. He is none other than a good looking guy known by name Patrik Vepr Filipek. He is here for exchange program. He is going to study Master in Mechanical Engineering. To talk about him. I just say he is good. He has a sense of friendliness and of course sociability. I just love his personality.

Mr.Pierpaolo Loddo

My second friend who is going to be my roommate is Pierpaolo Loddo. He is from Italy, 2010 world cup champion country. He is also the exchange program student going to study Master in Mechanical Engineering. Pierpaolo is a nice guy who always search a solution to help other. In short he is supportive and friendliness.

Mr.Gain Nicola

Gain Nicola Carboni is the third friend who is going to be my roommate. He is Italian. He let three of us to laugh frequently. He scare us sometime by shouting. But remember he is good guy possess friendliness. All my roommate are friendliness. I am happy to be their friend and have them as my friends.

I believe in cycle of karma and we are together here because of previous fate. Thank you god for three precious friends.

My view on Spain.

   

View of Arrasate Mondragon.

Part of Mondragon

             

Scenario of the place is so beautiful and fascinating. “Clean and understanding place” is words I am going to describe.

Clean place because it is clean with proper litterbin (different bin for different waste) being placed at suitable place. I can find no litter on the ground. People are civilized here. They reached their litter to litterbin.  

Understanding place because people are comprehensible to each other. It was amazing to witness people following traffic rule strictly. Walker on the road cross only through zebra crossing even when no vehicles is moving. On the other hand driver respect zebra crossing. They wait at zebra crossing if people target to cross zebra from the distance.

You may be alone here physically but you are never alone mentally. No sooner than we ask about something, they try to response us with the answer. If people speak English then I guarantee you, Spain is your home.

The real happiness is with people of Spain. Irrespective of all age, they have the time to gather at rest place in the city. Come weekend, the party come along with. And very interesting night is being observed. We will not witness the chaos and disorder make out of drink.

I am happy here, Spain

Teaching and Learning environment is different.

It’s totally different from my country, Bhutan regarding teaching and learning in foreign country, Mondragon University, Spain. I can’t say which one is the best, practice that my country adopt and practice they (Spain) adopt.

Learning will going to take place in their case because communication between tutor and students is taking place. It is friendly class out here and can ask any question. Student don’t hesitate whatever they response to the question put up by the tutors. One interesting thing, I could notice is that student used personal computer, PC and utilize PC in fruitful manner. They used search engine like Google to get answer for the question. Tutor don’t even come around to check weather students used PC effectively. Tutor trust student very much.

Comparing with our practice (Bhutan), no interaction between students and tutor. Students hesitate to communicate with tutors. The gap between students and tutor still exist. Given a chance to use PC in classroom with WIFI available, I am sure student will misuse (example. face booking) the platform. I even misuse the platform here, Mondragon University, Spain.   

Formality in the class.

Bhutan maintain a good decorum between tutors and students. Students know how to response tutors and respect tutors.

It is out of question to ask weather decorum exist in foreign country. We can called our Tutors by their name. No respect from students to tutors.

I will learn their culture during my stay in Spain and will adopt best one in our country if possible.

Finally question to viewer, which culture is good? 

My Nostalgia in Spain.

                            

Pose near university

Mondragon University.

It was 16:00 hours when I reached in Spain (Mondragon University, MU) on 1^st of September. Miss Adrune, the international coordinator of Interweave project provide me with the guide to guide me to reach to my residence. They were two female students of MU. They took me to my residence and informed me everything present in the room: How to use the things that present in the room? Where is toilet? Where is bathroom? Where is sitting room? How to cook anything? with their limited words in English.  

I was all alone in the room as three roommates, one from Slovakia and two from Italy are yet to come on 3^rd and 4^th of September respectively. My friends from Bhutan and Nepal were in different domicile. The deepest sorrow of being alone in Spain after coming all the way from Asia (Bhutan) was something I can describe as “My Nostalgia in Spain”. The tension over tension is flowing with non-stop. The language which I speak is what they don’t understand and the language which they speak is what I don’t understand, eventually a huge language barrier is being created. The food they take is what I feel like tasteless and food which I used to take is where I couldn’t find here. My nostalgia in Spain become bit a sensation one when I badly miss my loving parents. No matter how the people of Spain are kind enough and showing the hospitability to me but it failed to replace the love and care that my parent give to me.

The situation over my mind is under control of “my nostalgia of Spain” but I still have deep faith to god almighty, my only root teacher (Tsa-Wai-Lam) and thanking parents. The day routine of praying when I gets up in the morning and going to bed in the evening shall be followed.

In the name of erasing the “my nostalgia of Spain” I decide to go to my friend domicile (Where Keshav from Nepal and Anup Thapa, friend from Bhutan stay). They were lucky enough as they got roommate from Spain. He is Joseba who is going to pursue master in Electrical Engineering. He help us. Thank you Joseba. You are my first Spainish friend I listed in my friend list after reaching here.

My only and unique brother, Gom Dorji.

Gom Droji and Jigme Zangpo

We are brother by fate and I am happy to be his brother. Growing up in same family and I have many memory that cherished my lonely mind whenever I think of it. Unlike other brothers who don’t stay always together as a brotherhood but we always stay together until I got to go to Spain for exchange program scholarship.

We studied our pre-primary school in same school in our village. I went separated in 2003 from my brother in Lauri Primary School to complete my class six. It was also in 2004 when he was still in class six in village, I was in Minjiwoong Lower Secondary school studying in class seven. We are together in the year 2005 in Minjiwoong School. We stayed on same bed. Unfortunately I was ill in 2005 and couldn’t attend final exam. In the year 2006 instead of feeling unhappy as I missed a year, I still remember that I was happy as I could study together with my brother. We were in same standard from that onward.

It was in Nanglam Middle Secondary School, we were in same class (IX A) on top of we stay on same bed. We could complete class X peacefully in same class and same bed in the year 2008.

The result of Bhutan Certificate of Secondary Education (BCSE Class-X) was declare on the month of February, 2009. We were both qualified to 11. We were place in Nangkor Higher Secondary School. He was in 11 science B and I was in 11 science A of course we are in same room. We completed our +2 in Nangkor in the year 2010.

Bhutan Higher Secondary Education Certificate was declare at end of the January, 2011. We were not satisfied with our result. He would have qualified for studies outside country if his language mark is or above 55%. Unfortunately fate decide him to be Engineer and he was got selected under the discipline, Electrical Engineering program in College of Science and technology. Mathematics Honors was only option left for me to study outside country but fate decide elder brother to be Engineer too. I was selected for Electronics and Communication Engineering program in the same college. We were both happy to be engineer despite knowing my course has no scope in Bhutan.

Looking back from where we are today to where we come from; we are happy for our hard work and determination. Three year in college was gone forever. The days and night we spent together in same room for 6 semester was really a wonderful. You obeying me as I was your brother but brother I am sorry that I couldn’t obey you much, as you did. It was my only regret that is lingering on my mind when we are no more together. I now realize the value of respect and obedient. I am once again sorry my dear brother, Gom Dorji.  Forgive me for being impoliteness sometime. I am happy because you always understand my nature. Brother, I shall always keep our bond brotherhood strengthen ever and ever. I know there is no doubt from your side. I have great expectation from you that you can unit our family as family itself.

Now you are in final year and my hope along with deepest prayer; always be who you are, never get away by negative friend and have a mind of caring our precious parents.

Your brother shall be in Spain for 10 months missing you all.

With affection.

Jigme Zangpo.

My VISA of Spain was approved.

Finally I got VISA of Spain after almost a month I submitted documents. Thank you everyone for helping me to obtained VISA. Now everything is ready and I am ready to leave to Royal Palace of Madrid.  

Come 1^st of September, 2014 I will be leaving to Spain via Belgium capital Bessel. 

Emotion of departure.

7 to 12 of August, 2014 was the moment, moment of happiness. The very reason for considering the moment as moment of happiness is: I could meet my parents and relatives. The moment of happiness was transient period for me. The moment of happiness altered into moment of sorrow as soon I say final good bye to my parents and relatives. The moment of sorrow become really bad moment of sorrow when I could witness tear drop of love and care falling down from my mother’s eyes. I consoled my mother saying I will be back soon. I am going for good purpose. I am going neither to die nor to stay permanently there.

I shall always remember your sweet words as advice to become your good son.

My affection and care for parents and relatives shall never out of my mind until I am human being. I will let all of you to realize the true affection and care from me.

My only prayer; to meet you all in good condition as before when I am back. 

Documents submitted.

                                    

It was on day 4 in New Delhi I could submit the documents to the office of Spain Embassy, New Delhi. I could submit documents within few days because of staffs of VISA section in Bhutanese Embassy being supportive. Visa Officer Mr. Jigme Norbu coordinates the procedure of Visa processing sequentially. He requests his visa assistance (Indian) and driver to reach us to desire destination. We have to go to Hospital to withdraw Medical Certificate, go to Jawaharlal Nehru University to get Medical Certificate translated in to Spanish.  

Finally all the procedure was completed and documents was submitted to office of Spain Embassy, New Delhi. Verbal interview is conducting. Why you are going? Who sponsor you? What course you are going to take? Which university you are going to? From which university you are going? For how long you are going to stay?

I would like to thank Mr. Jigme Norbu, Visa officer at Royal Bhutanese Embassy, New Delhi for rendering full support and guidance. I also thank all your assistance visa staffs (Indian) and drivers for helping me.

Better to be alone than one direction friend.

  

Friends are important and we have to have friends. To be friends with certain people, we have to study before we really become friends. There are many friends who are ready to ruin your life.  There are friends who never listens the advices from their parents and elders. There are friends who are always happy to do mischievous deeds rather than doing merit deeds. Friends who don’t possess quality of good friend should be avoided. But we have to help friends who had gone out of track to bring to the right direction. Whether they want to come to track or not, we have to once try to correct them. One who wanted to change will change.  

Bad friends will ruin your life if you are to be danced at their tune. Be friends with all type, bad and good but you should be able to take decision on your own after you realizing the decision put by all type of friends. If you can’t take decision on your own, better be alone than a one direction friend. You will survive without friends.

I will always in my world if I am with one direction friends

A year waste some say.

Exchange program scholarship is an opportunity to me but some say it is a waste of a year as we have to stay one more year to complete degree course. If the modules we are going to take in Host University are not same as home university, it is for sure we have to study in home university for another one more year.

The undergraduate mobility period is 10 months in my case. It’s about two semesters. I have to stay one more year in College of Science and Technology (home university) as the modules are not same in Host University as home university.

The university so called Mondragon Uniberstetea under Basque Country in Spain is located north of Spain. This is university I will be staying for 10 months.

I have nothing special plan to do when I reach to Spain. Regarding academics, I may take few modules and carrying out project work on top of learning Spanish.

A year waste some say but I say it’s an opportunity, exposure, experience and tour in my life. Opportunity comes once in a life. I don’t think I will get such opportunity in future. So, it’s an opportunity for me and I shall take it as precious opportunity to enjoy my stay in Spain.

I am coming soon Spain.

VISA processing.

I am here in New Delhi to submit document to get VISA of Spain to Embassy of Spain in New Delhi. It's tedious job to get job done. We have to get medical certificate, MC from certain Hospital of India. In my case, I get MC from Primus Super Speciality Hospital. In spite of obtaining Medical certificate from only certain Hospital, we have to have the certificate in Spanish language and it should be legalize. . To get MC, we have to pay 850 INR.

No Objection Certificate, NOC form Police of Bhutan will not accept easily unless it has been attested by Ministry of Foreign Affair and it has been legalize. In order to translate NOC into Spanish language, it should be paid 1000 INR per paper. To legalize per paper cost INR 2591.

The document required for processing VISA of Spain for Bhutanese student are:

1) acceptance letter from University.

2) Accommodation conformation.

3) Insurance Policy.

4) Passport.

5) Passport photo two.

6) VISA fee in INR 5080.

Council deferment on revised salary. Who is wiser in making decision, NC or NA?

I would like to compiled information from newspaper, kuensel, the national daily newspaper issued at different date.

First, from the Kuensel dated June, 20, 2014 article titled “PM declines revised salary” (http://www.kuenselonline.com/pm-declines-revised-salary/#.U60as9zoTDE) it state “Lyonchhoen stated that he would be accepting the salary equivalent to that received by the cabinet ministers, and the additional monthly amount of Nu 50,000 would be donated to charity organisations at the end of his five-year term.”  It also has stated “Lyonchhoen had however not identified the charities that he will donate his approximately Nu 2.7M at the end of his term.”

Kuesel article “Council deferment could save the exchequer nu.54m” (http://www.kuenselonline.com/council-deferment-could-save-the-exchequer-nu-54m/#.U60SDtzoTDF) dated June,27, 2014 state “National Council members’ decision to defer their revised salary indefinitely would save about Nu 12M a year, and about Nu 54M for the next four and half years, for the government, according to finance ministry officials.”

“With the National Assembly endorsing the pay revision, starting July 1, a minister will now get Nu 52,000 more a month on his existing minimum pay of Nu 78,000.

This means, in the next four and a half years, the government would spend Nu 28.08M on paying the increased amount to the 10 ministers.

With the council deciding to defer the raise, the council’s chairperson will continue to draw his existing salary of Nu 78,000 a month, and not the one that the Assembly had passed, which is pegged to the cabinet ministers at Nu 130,000 a month.

It also means that the council’s deputy chairperson will continue to draw Nu 63,000 and not Nu 75,160 as endorsed by the National Assembly.

Each of the remaining 23 council members will also not take home the revised Nu 65,930 a month salary and continue to draw Nu 55,490 a month, which is inclusive of their lump sum salary allowance.”

 “This means, if the National Council’s decision to defer the raise for themselves continues until the end of their term, then the savings of Nu 54M would also cover in paying the raise for all 10 ministers as well the prime minister.”

 Now, analyze which decision is wiser, NA or NC? If PM let to believe the recommendation sent by NC to NA members regarding the pay hike, there is no question of not believing his speech by NA members as he being the PM of Bhutan. If house make good decision, PM fame is going to enhanced but at the same time if house make wrong decision PM should accountable for it.

PM will donate Nu.50, 000 (2.7million) for charity but NC will save 54 million.

Only the opportunity matter, after all everyone is same.

People say they will serve you better than other if they are given chance. Given the chance, will they serve you better? Whether they will serve you better will be known if given a chance to serve you. PDP said that give us one chance to serve you so that you will realize we are serving the people. People gave them a chance to serve and PDP are serving. People are witnessing the serve. By this time people might have realize they are serving the people.

PDP lavishly blame DPT in all field during DPT’s tenure; farm road are constructed in vulnerable state, huge debt, Tobacco Act and many more. People are witnessing the task performing by PDP. In the name of pay revision to civil servants, they had done wonderful job. People are witnessing their ideas and realizing PDP are giving us to realize that they are serving for themselves. The strong and only reason they gave for fat pay hike for parliaments is for attraction of capable candidates in future. Capable candidates are required in every organization, corporation, sector and ministries. What if all capable candidates of those associations opt for politics? Is the current payment for parliaments that much low to make end meet and to attract capable candidates? Is Bhutan has reach to that much materialistic world?  Is Bhutan rich to support all those payment?

People do same thing if not more than ever. The only thing is they lack opportunity to act. Blame other critically and get opportunity to do even worse than other could people’s philosophy.

At this juncture, all Bhutanese might be realizing what our first democratically elected Prime Minister Lyonchhen Jigme Yoeser Thinley speech about its truth and meaning residing in the paragraph below.

"In my life, I came across many great opportunities and achieved great responsibilities. And amongst all, one of the most important and greatest opportunities I got was to serve his Majesty the 4th King of Bhutan, as a chamberlain in 1974, since then, I have had the privilege of being in key positions and serving the tsa wa sum. I don't know, hereafter, I will be able to come back to serve the people or not. But if I didn't, one day, the people of Bhutan will know, that Jigme Y Thinley, was not wrong and had served the nation with much love"

GIS, Remote Sensing and Artificial Intelligence.

Semester end exam for 6^th semester was concluded on 14^th June, 2014. All students are gone for vacation to spend with their parents. I am still in college to complete my research work on 3-D map of CST (College of Science and Technology) Campus. I should stay till 30^th of June, 2014.

My research on 3-D map of CST (College of Science and Technology) Campus started with exam on GIS, Remote Sensing and Artificial Intelligence.

On the first day (17^th, June, 2014), we discussed about the parameters, objectives, methodology and output of the topic. We also discussed about the software that we required to get output.

Leaving to the Royal Palace of Madrid seek Thankfulness.

Under the Interweave Project, I am leaving to the Royal Palace of Madrid within short period of time particularly the Basque country. The university, Mondragon unibertsitatea is where I will be spending my 10 months undergraduate mobility.

Let me extend my heartfelt gratitude to one who supports me during the process in applying. Firstly, to the International Coordinate Mr. Roshan Chhetri, Faculty of Electrical Department (College of science and Technology) who had guide me throughout the process of applying. HoD, Electronics & Communication Engineering Department, Madam Karma Kelzang Eudon (Madam KK) and Dr. Kazuhiro Muramatsu, Senior Lecture in Electronics & Communication Engineering Department. Madam KK inspired me to apply by giving full support. She helps me whenever I was having problem. Let me say Thank You Madam for your generous supports. Dr. Kazu helps me in scanning document whenever I ask him. In deed he was there every time I was in need of his supports. I say Thank You sir for your time. To all, who support me directly and indirectly are equally helpful and I offer my thankfulness.

I am also thanking to the Interweave Project for providing me with such opportunity. I am sure it will be my life time opportunity. I may have time but I may not have support. I may have support but I may not have time. Once again thank you very much Interweave Project for this wonderful opportunity.

My dream of visiting third country is finally realizing. I will enjoy my stay in Royal Palace of Madrid with productive outcome.

I will write more about my feeling when I am in Royal Palace of Madrid within a short period of time.

I have all who support directly or indirectly in my heart. I shall never forget for their support. My only hope for now is to repay them with sincere heart after I am capable

Just to continue.

My last post was on 1st May of 2014. Counting the days that I was out  of blogging made me to think for a while but I am still not guilty of that. The days of the May month was tough and busy for me.
Will resume my thought writing after few weeks.

Why Happy Teachers Day?

We know teachers are greatest in the world. They are everything to us. I quote Dzongkha proverb “ཕ་བླ་མ་མེད་པའི་གོ་རིལ་ནང།         བུ་སངས་རྒྱས་རྒྱས་པའི་མིང་ཡང་མེད།          བཀལ་པ་སྟོང་གི་སངས་རྒྱས་ཀྱང། བླ་མ་བདག་ལ་བསྟོན་ནས་འབྱུང།” I unquote. It state that there won’t be Buddha if there is no teacher. All Buddha who attain nirvana are because of their teacher. Knowing the statement, we have to pay our respect to all the teacher of three times, past, present and future as a gratitude. Gratitude doesn’t mean by giving of something but with your pure heart praying for their long and prosperous life mean a lot.  

Pay your gratitude to all teachers of three time. The reason for our respect as per Dzongkha proverb “ཚིག་གཅིག་བསྟོན་པའི་སློབ་དཔོན་ལ། སློབ་དཔོན་ཏག་ཏུ་མ་འཇལ་ན།  ཁྱི་སྐྱེ་བ་ལྔ་བརྒྱ་ལན།          མད་ཆ་ཅན་དུ་སྐྱེ་བར་འབྱུར།” I unquote. It emphasis that if we fail to pay our gratitude to our teachers, we will rebirth as dog in next life for 500 times. We may rebirth as human after 500 times of being born as dog but it is believe we will born with missing sense of organs.

With above two quote, it touches the bottom of my heart sensing the greatest of teachers.

Having read above sentences, let us pay our pure gratitude for their selfless dedication and commitment in their duty.

Happy Teacher’s Day. Have a long life.

Inspiring and motivating speech by Dean Academic, CST.

I was inspired by Dean Academic speech made today during the hosting session of assembly (28/4/2014). He started with scaring student. You are done with two third of semester and you are left with one third of semester. Timetable for end semester will out within short period of time (maximum 10 days from today).

Some student who listened might think it was simple strategies when he make speech but those common and simple strategies generally make mistake by everyone of us in daily life.

I could take note of his speech. Below are highlighted point that I could catch up.

·      Happiness,

·      Sleep and

·      Toy/instrument.

 Happiness.

On top of tending to forget doing our scheduled task we disturb serious student at work. For instance when it is time for studying (at 8pm, generally observe as silence hour) students go room to room for gossiping to kill his or her boredom. To students who are genuinely want to study has no option to reject his gossip as Dean has pointed out all student are brought up in the cream of Bhutanese system. If you really want happy within yourself and want to see your friend happy, don’t go to gossip with serious student during silence hour (study hour at 8pm). If you go and gossip with serious student, you are making your friend unhappy as your friend think for sure is, it would better if you go.

Sleep.

In connection with happiness he talks about duration of sleep that we required. He mention three type of sleeps: Under sleep, Normal sleep and Over sleep. If we fall under the category of Under sleep and Over sleep we will have problem. Instead of feeling light you feel drowsy and pain of body. Hope you all have better experience of it. Now what is the solution for above problem? To get solution you have to read sub-topic toys/instrument as follow.

Toys/Instruments.

He used sensitive and unforgettable word like Toys/Instruments. Here Toys/Instrument represent laptop and things that are main factor for wasting time. There is only one weekend in a week but for us every week days are treated as weekend. Every day you watch movies and browsing social media for no purposes at late night.  Here comes the problem by Under sleep. Some student prefer early to bed than watching movies or browsing social media but we never realize how much we sleep and here comes problem by Over sleep. Staying late night result in Under sleep on top of missing morning class that start at 8am. Over sleep is for sure to miss all classes of morning session.

I learn great lesson with his simple and effective speech.

P.S: Instead of going room to room for gossiping, make timer (6 hours) and go to bed. Walk up early when timer walks you up. It will make you happy within and your friend too.

And Dzongkha proverb says: ཕྱི་རུ་ཉལ་མ་ཤེས་རྟ་དང་འདྲ་།དྲོ་པ་ལོང་མ་ཤེས་ཕགཔ་དང་འདྲ་།

“It says one who go to bed at late night are same as horse and one who walk up late in the morning are as same as pig”.

Jig-Zang Methodology for examination.

There will be someone who succeed with no plan. This would be rare. For people like us, have to have methodology to process to reach destination.

Examination are never ending. From primary school till college life and it will goes on till you die. You have to sit for exam if you are trying to get job.

My strategies for preparing exam are simple. I have been following since lower secondary school.

•      Never leave everything for last minutes. Burning mid-night candle during exam time for me do not work.

•       Up to date is my rule. Updating day’s lesson within day itself. I adjust my time at any cost.

•      Relax when exam come just by revising. Revising become easy.

•      No panic at last moment when exam is near door step.

If you think my strategies are simple and effective, you may follow it. I still have tough time in following above methodology. You can try it. You can do it.

I have meet many friends struggling at last minutes and panicking about exam. Do you want to avoid panicking?

Then, Learn when you are learning. Don’t learn as a sack of learning. For instance, it is time for this subject. Opening page for an hour and saying I learn as per my schedule isn’t fair to yourself.   

Time table should be maintained for self study
