Pengalaman menghadiri TRB memang sesuatu yang tidak dapat dilupakan. Pertamanya Alhamdulillah...saya dapat menjejakkan kaki ke suatu tempat yang jauh dan menyertai persidangan yang berprestij dalam bidang pengangkutan. Bukan semua orang dapat sampai ke tempat yang saya sampai.
Tetapi, di sudut hati ada terselit satu rasa yang tidak dapat ditafsirkan. Ada rasa rendah diri dan low self esteem yang menyelimuti perasaan saya sejak pulang dari TRB. Saya maklum ini mungkin perasaan sebagai first time attendee. Terasa tahap research saya rendah jika
dibandingkan dengan research-research lain yang dibentang di TRB.
Ada banyak lagi perkara yang saya perlu belajar, dan saya harap saya tidak akan pernah jemu, dan terus focus mengupgrade skill yang ada. Dalam research soal competative adalah soal kedua, yang pertama ialah kepuasan diri, dan saya belum dapat merasai kepuasan membuat research itu. Pengalaman yang saya dapat ini diharap dapat menjadi pemangkin semangat saya dalam menjana research dalam bidang pengangkutan di Malaysia ke taraf antarabangsa.
Kisah turun naik perjuangan dan pengalaman saya mengejar PhD di Kyoto University, Jepun. Kadang-kala ada watak teman-teman lain yang menyeri kehidupan, kerana kehidupan insan fitrahnya tidak pernah bersendirian. Bahasa yang digunakan tidak formal dan lebih kepada bentuk diari. Sesungguhnya dengan cara mengingati apa yang berlaku, melatih minda menjadi fokus terhadap sesuatu. Saya akan cuba berhati-hati untuk tidak menyakiti hati mana-mana pihak, dalam blog ini.
