Mind Map for LIMKOKWING UNIVERSITY CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY (LUCT)





Essay


My Self as a Leader.
Leadership can be defined as the power (meaning capacity, ability) to inspire others to get involved and take action to achieve a collective ambition or achieve a common goal. This power is conferred by an esteem of authority, trust, reference or mentor who cannot be decreed. Leadership is not backed nor to a status nor to a function or to a level of individual responsibility. This is because others recognize it as such that the leader has the power to make them act.

The art of leadership involves a set of knowledge, values, skills and behavior. Each of us has his own idea what should be the characteristics of an effective leader. Similarly, the groups perceive all differently what "makes" an effective leader. Your group will assess your skills as a leader, and you will succeed perhaps since your characteristics correspond to those your group members prefer.
The Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, appointed me as their new leader for a period of 2 years. They expect me to come out with new ideas to improve their service to students; they also stand to maintain their title as the most creative Higher Learning Institution in Malaysia. So as the new leader, I will make sure to become the best leader by following the characteristic I stated below.
An efficient leader will be followed by the others who are working under him and he also must know about the human nature that will be able to direct people to towards success. Some people say that leadership is a talent that born with us and it can’t be obtained by practicing or studying but they are wrong. Every person in this earth has the leadership in them just it depends on them whether they want to awake it or let it unusable.

In order to lead and set direction as a leader, I must be confident or optimistic as a person in the leadership role so that I also can inspire the confidence of the people that following me and bring out the trust and best effort for the team to complete the work that we assigned to do and I also must believe the abilities of my followers- never ever look down of the followers because without them, you might not have become a leader for them.

The next character of an efficient leader is responsibility. An irresponsible leader can create a disaster if he does not act responsibly. A leader must know that he is responsible if the team is achieving and successful but a good leader will take responsibility if the team is not achieving or not working out. If his team fails he must have the courage of taking the responsibility and should take a steps and measures to solve the problem they facing. The main thing is he should not blame his team members unnecessarily if they are failed.

On the other hand, an efficient leader also must have honesty. People nowadays want to trust their leader and the best way to gain the trust of the followers or team in you is to be honest and trustworthy. In order to gain that, you must go out and display that honesty as an individual. For an example when you do not admit that something that did not work out, you has made a big mistake there. When you are honest you will turn into an influence to other people at work.

A good leader as well as keeping the main goals in focus, able to think analytically which means he must know the objectives of his work. He must view the situation as a whole by keeping the goal in view, he can break it down into manageable steps and makes progress towards it which will bring them to success. No one likes a slack leader and if you become one, you will not be called as passionate and committed as a leader.

Other than that, as a leader also you must not ever being possessed by the power you get. People often get carried away if they become leader. A good leader always uses the power for the betterment of everyone who works under him and not abuses it for their personal betterment. For an example, A leader that is not possessed with the power will always manage his team by telling them, ”Come on guys, Let’s solve this problem TOGETHER!!” while a person who possessed by the power of leadership will always sit at their chairs and will tell, ”Go and do this work!!”. The leader also must always listen and accept relevant suggestion of his team without minding the position. He should always be a good listener and speaker (ability to question, analyse and observe). He should believe that action will always speak louder than words therefore he should be consistent in his action, his words and his thought as well. He should always be neutral.

As a human, education or skills will never be infinite in our life and this statement will goes to leaders too. As a leader it’s not meant that you already became perfect. A good leader will always take their time to study, and also improve their skill to be better (keep upgrading their self). They must be open to thought, suggestion, solutions, new information’s and change rather than thinking they already know everything.

Last but not least, a good leader should know how to manage their time. An effective leader who always achieves their objective will always check out the time frame within no matter what comes in their way. They will not stop from sticking to these timelines either it’s their family, friends or commitments they do not compromise on their schedule and will manage their time well.
In the nutshell, As a leader for the Limkokwing University of creative Technology, I will come out with the new ideas to improvise the service to the students and also promise that I will maintain the reputation as the most creative Higher Learning Institution in Malaysia by manage my time, be confident and optimistic, not possessed by the power of position as a leader, always upgrading and learn new skills or knowledge, understand my team or colleague well, be a honest leader and also responsible to make the objectives to become successful or achieved.

TITLE - Not all the information in website are accurate.

OBJECTIVE – How to find accurate information in websites.

World Wide Web which known as www or w3 is currently believed that it is equal to the human brain which makes the www is intelligent. Webpages will be accessed via internet through web browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Webpages will contain a lot of multimedia elements such as text, video, images, and others. We can search a lot of thing from the internet, anytime and anywhere and you will control it using your fingertips rather than waiting news on radio and television, newspaper which will take one day to distribute it.
Brain is the central organ of the nervous system that located in the head of human and protected by skull. It is one of the largest and complex organ in human body and more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connection called synapses. A lot parts and function of brain such as,
  1. Cortex, thinking and voluntary movement.
  2. Stem , breathing and sleeping.
  3. Cerebellum, coordinate and balance.
  4. Frontal lobes, problem solving and judgement.
  5. Temporal lobes, memory and hearing.
Even though there is a lot of function in brain, people still try to use website to search information and finish their work because they are saying that stimulate our brain to get information will be late but they didn't think about the information in the webpages are produced by human brain too.
We all know that we can gather or find so much of information that we wanted from the website for example students who always surf the internet to gather information about their studies materials. There is a lot of information type such as news, ideas or opinion, research result, theory, everyday practicalities, fact and figures, history and background, people’s experience, advice or help, technical information, legal information or educational information. This information on website is written or published by the humans which human will do mistake always so the information in the website sometimes will be the truth (facts) or sometimes it will be not accurate. For example, if you are updating the latest news that happening in this world, make sure you surf the right page or website and it is official and registered as a trustworthy webpages. For the students who are doing the assignment for their courses should choose a right one or they will get low marks or even fail in their module. There are a lot of disadvantages of inaccurate website information such as;
  1. As a student you will risk your mark if take information at wrong webpages.
  2. You will have no idea from the news update, will not know the true news.
  3. Lot of uneducated people will occur.
  4. People will get confuse and will be hard to believe to anyone even its right information.
  5. People will think that the internet is not trustworthy anymore.
