As a student, the scientific phase should be a top priority. The late night discussion with Mr. Dede reminded me to write this small note. We talked about the world of education, which has become our battleground until now.



Mr. Dede explained that we have lost our direction in education. Yet, the world of education is the backbone in advancing the nation. According to him, a shift in the mindset regarding science has occurred. He referred to the scientific phase as the phase of life, meaning people have been affected by the instant syndrome, which is in contrast to the actual scientific phase.


A student who should still be in the scientific phase is mixed up in the phase of life, where it is not yet time to experience it. A student must focus on their studies and not be caught up in domestic affairs that are not yet relevant. They must prioritize primary and secondary matters, and always be aware of their position and status.


Moreover, a student must pay attention to the scientific phase to achieve their vision and mission in acquiring knowledge. The life phase, social phase, or economic phase can be experienced, but they should not replace the scientific phase's main position.


The scientific phase should be more enduring and become a caretaker that takes us to the gate of freedom to think and create. The scientific phase will always be a spirit where a person will not be separated from space and time. The scientific phase will become a student's main mentality. Therefore, a person will still be a student forever, even when they have become a family person, an entrepreneur, or occupies a specific position. The dignity of science will not be removed just because people's needs have shifted into the life phase.


So, as students, let us prioritize the scientific phase. Focus on studying, prioritize primary and secondary matters, and always pay attention to the vision and mission in acquiring knowledge. Because the scientific phase is the caretaker of our future aspirations, the gate to freedom of thinking and creating.
