THE NEW GUINESS BOOK OF RECORD.MALAYSIA BOLEH!
Studying has become a lifelong pursuit for Prof Dr Chin Yew Sin.
He has accumulated a string of academic honours, including 11 degrees and numerous diplomas and certificates as well as at least 37 professional memberships, and is clamoring for more.
He claims to hold the record for being the first person in the world to graduate with four bachelor degrees – in engineering, law, accountancy and business administration – all in the same year.
He said he was also first to study eight courses simultaneously and the first to possess 32 professions covering finance, economics, metallurgy, science and law, among others.
Asked if there might come a point where he would stop studying, he said: “There is so much to discover out there.” “The more I learn the more I realise I don't know enough,” Chin told reporters.
This is the paradox of learning - the more you learn, the more you discover that you know so much of so little.
The irony of many who refuse to learn is that they believe they had enough and do not require anymore knowledge.
I admire Prof. Dr. Chin but I don't think I can emulate him. I'm still learning and will continue to do so till my mind and body fails me. Learning is fun and brings prosperity!
