Well at first I would say, our drive to achieve something at the higher level...but, according to wikipedia,
"According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in the basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as altruism, morality, or avoiding mortality."........but that's not the point here..
When we talk about Emotion... what would you say?
Happy, sad, depress, flirty....... ( the list goes on and on ...), Still that's not the point here
What I wanna share is, the way Dr Ibrani ask us (students in his "motivati & pencapaian manusia" class) questions to show his way of "open book test". He gave us 2 questions,
1. If you can choose one food that portrays "motivation" what would it be??
2. If you have to pick a colour that portrays " Emotions" what It would be??
Even if we have bought 10 books, I bet, I'll never find the answer.... it rkinda tricky question... So we have our little disscussion with Dr Ibrani regarding the question...
Question 1
Dr: So? siapa tahu Jawapan?
Student 1: Rasa yang sedap
Dr: Itu ciri makanan...saya nak namakan makanan
Me: Steak ( ohw mengidam plak tym dlm kelas tuh)
Dr: Kenapa awak ckp steak?
Me: Sebab steak mahal ..so bila ia mahal, kita akan ade "drive" atau dorongan untuk mencapai matlamat makan steak tuh la
Dr: sebab steak mahal ...ade drive nak capai..boleh jadi..but kita tak selalu makan steak...kadang-kadang je makan steak..so kita kene bermotivasi kadang-kadang je la?
Me: ( tunduk pandang buku.....)
Dr: It must be something you eat regularly, coz kamo kene ade motivasi setiap hari
Ramai-ramai: Nasi........ (I smiled when I saw there's a smile on Dr Ibrani face ...yeay we got it right)
Question 2
Dr: So what colour would it be?
Student 1: Kuning
Student 2: Oren
Student 3: Hijau
Tan: Hitam
Me& geng sekitar: PUTIH!!!!!
Dr: Why you ckp hijau?? sebab you pakai hiJau??
STudent 3: tersenyum
Dr: Kenapa you pilih oren?
Student 2: sebab ceria..
Dr: Jawapan yang boleh saya terima adalah hitam dan putih ..
To answer both question, we must first understand the meaning of the subject. Without understanding the subject, we cant answer the metaphor part. It quite interesting and it make us think out of the box and help us in build solid answer to support our own answer. I kinda "sewel-sewel" at that time coz "kelas pagi"..but at the end, I smiled and hope someday I would get a chance to answer Dr Ibrani's Open bOok question.
Ohw, for the Question 2, I leave it blank so yOu guys can think and come out with your own idea or perception why black and white is the answer.... Good Luck ~!
