Inquisitive mind can be boosted by fostering “give it a try method” because we never know without trying and experiences gained from attempts are highy valueble. Secondly, celebrating mistakes made as it is known that when we make mistakes we educate ourselves to never repeat the same mistake again. After that,practicing humility even when we are highly knowledgeable due to the fact that knowledge is infinite and there will always be someone with more wisdom than us. Not only that, ask more questions on things that we don’t understand as we will not suffer a loss rather, we would gain new knowledge. Besides that, make yourself comfortable when dealing with an unfamiliar situation rather than being scared or nervous due to the unknown. Lastly, have a more diverse interest on multiple field and be amazed and excited to face everyday as we learn something new every time.

6. Write a summary of the speech which was inspiring you to become a scholar?

In my opinion, I was inspired to become a scholar during the speech where Professor Dr. Zaidatun Tasir stated that a true scholar should be humble. We should always be humble even though we have a lot of knowledge because there is always someone wiser than us. A scholar should be curious about everything and always seek for knowledge. No matter how old are we, a scholar will always learn and get more knowledge.
