بقدر الكد تقتسم المعالي و من طلب العلا سهر الليالي
يروم العز كيف ينام ليلا يغوص البحر من طلب اللآلئ
و من رام العلى من غير كدٍّ أضاع العمر في طلب المحال
Imam Muhammad Ashafi'i (الامام الشافعي) recited the lines above where he stated that those who struggle in reaching the top, spend their nights searching and expanding their knowledge in the "sea" of knowledge. Those who reach the top without the effort, he states, have wasted their time and gained nothing in the process. Although this concept can be applied to various aspects of life, it is particularly compatible with education and how those who pursue education with the desire of improving themselves and their societies become the individuals who shape our societies in the future. In this site, I share with other teachers and educators my teaching philosophy and my use of technology in teaching academic writing for non-native speakers of English.
